4	''Ultra Zone'' is a series of single-panel comedic sketch series revolving around various kaiju, aliens, robots and oddities from the ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' -- otherwise just acting casually in front of the humans, much like in daily life.
5	It's notably a spin-off of the TV series of the same name.

9	----
10	!! Ultra Zone Sketches Contain examples of:
11
12	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Most, if not all, of the monsters and aliens, it seems. Even hostile invaders like [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Nackle]], [[Series/UltramanNexus Dark Zagi]] and [[Film/UltramanStory Juda]] seems perfectly content with hanging out with earthlings, the very same race they're trying to annhilate in their respective shows.
13	* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: [[Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends Beryudora]], the monster whose body is made of 300 other kaiju, shows up in the Christmas panel.
14	* BarbershopEpisode: With [[Series/UltramanLeo Alien Magma]] as the hairdresser. Unfortunately he's not doing a good job, and gives out a GagHaircut to an unsuspecting customer.
15	* ChristmasEpisode: Featuring Beryudora, no less. Who is putting a Christmas star on the tip of the Tokyo Tower.
16	* FriendToAllChildren: Some of the kaiju from the original ''Series/{{Ultraman}}''. Somehow. Like Seabozu skipping rope with kids, Pestar taking part in a kid's three-legged race, and Gavadon (juvenile form) allowing kids to sit on his back watching the stars. (Ok, ''maybe'' that last one is canon.)
17	* GoKartingWithBowser: Kaiju and aliens usually depicted as hostile are now casually chilling out with humans. Such as Alien Nackle and Black King running a ramen bar, Birdon, Galberos and M1 cosplaying ''Literature/{{Momotaro}}'', Alien Poll and Alien Dada ice-skating... and Yapool enjoying a rollercoaster ride with humans.
18	* HotSpringsEpisode: Bemular is shown chilling in a hot spring, with two ladies clad in towels about to join him.
19	* IdolSinger: For some inexplicable reason, Gudon and Astromons are depicted as pop singers performing in front of a cheering live audience.
20	* {{Kaiju}}: In a SliceOfLife setting chilling out with humans, though.
21	* LoopholeAbuse: [[Series/UltramanGaia Gan-Q]] using his telescopic sight [[https://astromonster.tumblr.com/post/36895428945/ultra-zone-spore-kaiju-gan-q to cheat during an exam]].
22	* MultiarmedMultitasking: [[Film/SuperiorUltraman8Brothers Giga Khamaira]] playing table tennis with his four hands. He seems to be winning.
23	* MundaneMadeAwesome: Plenty of it...
24	** [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Zetton]] using his fireballs to light up a barbeque.
25	** [[Series/{{Ultraseven}} Eleking]] using his electrical tail to jump-start a car.
26	** [[Series/UltramanAce Vakishim]] the delivery boy, using his ability to break through dimensions... to deliver a lunchbox.
27	** [[Series/UltramanTaro Tyrant]], the chef. Complete with using his mace-arm to smash potatoes.
28	** [[Series/UltramanMebius Alien Zamusha]] playing baseball... with his '''katana''' as the bat.
29	* MythologyGag: Don't think Tsuburaya would skip out on referencing some aspects of the original series, do you?
30	** [[Series/UltraQ Littra and Gomess]] showing up in the same panel.
31	** [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Gomora]] posing with a bunch of students in front of Himeji Castle. In the series proper, Gomora ''destroyed'' said castle after going on a rampage across Osaka.
32	** [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Gigass and Dorako]] going bungee-jumping together, being a nod to their debut being the same episode from the original Ultraman.
33	** Also from the same series, Jamila is shown hanging out at a beach... despite the original show establishing his weakness being water.
34	* [[Series/{{Ultraseven}} Windam and Alien Kanan]] re-creating the "King of the World!" scene from ''Film/Titanic1997''... on a lighthouse. They showed up in the same episode of the original series, with Alien Kana's hidden base being disguised as a lighthouse, and the alien using a beacon to brainwash Windam.
35	** [[Series/UltramanLeo Garron and Littre]], the monster brothers, as trapeze performers.
36	** [[Series/UltramanTiga Fire Golza]] depicted with an ice pack on his head. During summer. Just... don't think too hard on this one.
37	* NewYearHasCome: One of these panels is set during what appears to be a Chinese New Year celebration in Chinatown... with [[Series/{{Ultraseven}} Alien Wild and Narse]] the robot dragon as performers in a dragon dance.
38	* NoPlotNoProblem: The single-panel series doesn't have a plot or whatsoever, just a showcase of Ultraman monsters hanging out with humans.
39	* RealMenDontCry: Averted; [[Series/UltramanEighty Hoe]] is shown crying in a movie theater while watching a sad film... and unintentionally dissolving the theater's chairs with his acidic tears.
40	* RecurringExtra: Riho Takada (Hina Izumi of ''Series/KamenRiderOOO'' fame) shows up in multiple sketches as a SSSP officer, randomly posing with kaiju and alien guests.
41	* RibbonCuttingCeremony: Featuring [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Sadola]] as special guest, where Sadola uses its pincer arms in place of scissors.
42	* ShowdownAtHighNoon: A sketch features [[Series/UltraGalaxyMegaMonsterBattle King Joe Black]] and a cowboy about to duel each other.
43	* SlumberParty: The [[Series/{{Ultraseven}} Pitt sisters]] are partaking in one of these, with a dormitory of human girls. Appropriately, one of the sisters is holding an Eleking plushie, yet another MythologyGag.
44	* StandingInTheHall: [[Film/UltramanStory Grand King and Juda]] are shown standing outside a classroom, with Juda holding two buckets of water. Huh?
45	* SupremeChef: Tyrant, who uses his scythe and mace arm to... make mashed potatoes.
46	* ToastOfTardiness: [[Series/{{Ultraseven}} Alien Bado]] shows up running with a slice of buttered toast hanging from his mouth... and about to crash into a teenage girl, also running up from an adjacent corner.
47	* WackyRacing: One of the panels depict [[Series/UltramanAce Jumbo King]] and [[Series/UltramanMax Natsunomeryu]] participating against racehorses.
48	* YourSizeMayVary: Most of the kaiju are now human-sized, despite some panels depicting them having the regular size from their respective episodes (such as Beryudora).
49	** [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Varricane]] for instance now stands to humans' knees! But then again, that ''could'' be a juvenile / infant version of the same monster...
