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. |

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... |
