- "The time of Chaos, the era of cosmic creation that lies in Borges. Awaken now! This is Chaos, the power of the Malicious Demonic Monster Grimdo!"Ultraman Tregear
Ultraman Taiga The Movie: New Generation Climax is a 2020 tokusatsu film produced by Tsuburaya, as part of the long-running Ultra Series and the Big Damn Movie concluding the events of Ultraman Taiga, with the titular Ultra and his friends from EGIS and the Tri-Squad teaming up with Taiga's father, Ultraman Taro, and ALL previous Ultramen ever since Ginga - Ultraman Ginga, Ultraman Victory, Ultraman X, Ultraman Orb, Ultraman Geed, Ultraman Rosso and Ultraman Blu in order to defeat a new threat more powerful than any they have ever encountered.
Six months after the series' conclusion, the world faces a new threat as Ultraman Tregear, who had seemingly disappeared after the defeat of Woola, made a return, and heralding the prophesized arrival of Grimdo, the Malicious Demonic Monster. The previous Ultramen hosts - Hikaru Raidō, Sho, Daichi Ozora, Gai Kurenai, Riku Asakura, Katsumi and Isami Minato - made a comeback as well, arriving in Hiroyuki Kudo's world to deliver a warning of the monster's awakening. But what's even more baffling is that Ultraman Taiga's long-awaited reunion with his father, the legendary veteran Ultra-warrior, Ultraman Taro, is greeted with Taro seemingly on the side of evil...
Ultraman Taiga The Movie: New Generation Climax contains examples of:
- Action Prologue: Right before the credits, we have the Tri-Squad battling an Alien Dada and his Legionoid, destroying both alien and monster with ridiculous ease.
- All Your Powers Combined: The finale introduces the debut of Ultraman Reiga, the most powerful Fusion Ultra at that point of the franchise, created through the combined might of all eleven New Generation Ultra Heroes.
- Bait-and-Switch: Tregear's monster team - Hellberus, Segmeger, Night Fang, Gigadelos and Gorothunder - after being empowered by Grimdo, unleashed their most devastating attack yet on the New Generation Ultras - Ginga, Victory, X, Orb, Geed, Rosso and Blu - and have seemingly defeated the heroes in a massive explosion. But it turns out, in the very next scene, the heroes are unscathed, and in the cover of the explosion, have simply switched forms instead, ready for another round.
- Beam-O-War
- Ultraman Taro and Ultraman Taiga, firing their Storium Beams at each other, as the father attempts to attack his own son while possessed.

- Behemoth Battle: Well, it's an Ultraman movie, so... there's the Tri-Squad facing Dada and his Customized Legionoid, and the New Generation Heroes fighting Tregear's team of monsters, before the finale where the heroes (eleven of them, reinforced by the recently arrived Grigrio) battles Grimdo.

- Each and every member of the New Generation Heroes, while in human form, had one of these moments as they made their debut. Notably Gai Kurenai and the Minato brothers beating the snot out of alien punks.

- Book Ends: In Ultra Galaxy Fight: New Generation Heroes, Ultraman Taro instructs the New Generation Heroes to give their energy to Ultraman Ginga for him to execute his New Generation Dynamite to finish off Ultra Dark Killer.

- Grievous Harm with a Body: After Ultraman Taiga had absorbed the other Ultra heroes' energy into himself and became Ultraman Reiga, the city-sized Grimdo who still has Taro in it's claws then hurls Taro towards Reiga.

The veteran Ultra's intervention is what the heroes need to finally defeat Grimdo.
- Hope Spot: A rather dark version: after a lengthy battle, Ultraman Taro managed to unleash his Storium Dynamite on Grimdo, and seems to have finally destroyed the monster in the subsequent explosion. Alas, it doesn't work, Grimdo simply reforms itself within seconds and ends up possessing Taro.
- Improvised Weapon: Katsumi and Isami uses a pair of tree branches when fighting off several alien punks.

- Make My Monster Grow: Grimdo, upon absorbing Tregear into itself, began growing and growing until it towers absolutely over the Ultras. How big? At one point, he attempts a Giant Foot of Stomping on Ultraman Reiga.
- Mass "Oh, Crap!": The Tri-Force and the New Generation Heroes have this reaction at Grimdo being unleashed and enveloping the entire city in darkness.
- Mythology Gag:
- In order to defeat Grimdo, the New Generation Heroes must focus their energy into Ultraman Taiga's Horns, allowing Taiga to fuse with the other Ultras and unlock his ultimate form - Ultraman Reiga. Taiga's father, Ultraman Taro, with the original Ultra Brothers, did the exact same thing in Ultraman Story in order to destroy Grand King.
- After the battle is over, the Tri-Squad separates from their human host, Hiroyuki, just like how Kotaro separated from Ultraman Taro.

This even applies to the Grimdo-possessed Ultraman Taro, who usually specializes in flame-based moves, but now assaults Taiga and the New Generation Ultras with shocking attacks.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: The Dada who stole the Blue Stone of Baradhi from EGIS, before receiving a thrashing from the combined might of the Ultramen Taiga, Fuma, and Titas and then getting killed by Taiga's Taiga Dynamite Shoot ... just before the opening titles.
- World-Healing Wave: After Grimdo's destruction, a powerful aura of golden energy instantly envelops the city, erasing the darkness created by the monster and returning the skies to their natural state.
