See Ultraman TV Series
- Art Evolution: Thanks to the liberty of the anime, this Baltan is designed to be much more deviating from his original appearance. His pincers were larger and his legs are also pincers.
- Batman Gambit: He knows all too well that Joneus will be his obstacle in invading Earth, so he first uses his monster Mikonos to become the bait for Joneus to fight while he took the pictures of the fight. Then, he gave those photos to the television station under the phony statement that it was Ultraman Joneus' human appearance (Choichiro Hikari), which seemingly threatens Hikari's secret. So when Hikari went off to investigate, Alien Baltan would activate the trap to kill Hikari. The young man was fortunate to be able to free from the Baltan's trap however.
- Freeze Ray: Like the original Baltan, he fires a red beam that puts his targets in suspended animation until he dies.

- The Greatest Story Never Told: Before the series, Hikari had once encountered another Goglan on space station EGG 3. He killed it when the creature was munching through several wires, thus saving the space station from destruction.

Heisei Ultraseven as a whole
- Alternate Universe: Heisei Ultraseven took place in a timeline where Seven is and the only Ultra to ever visited Earth, therefore creating an alternate timeline where the Ultra Garrison was never disbanded for MAT to replace them.
- Central Theme: A few of them initially deals with environmental issues to coincide with Japan's environmental awareness back in the 1994. From 1999 and so on, the theme shifted to mankind's self worth and eventually into a full blown xenophobic and prejudice against anything that isn't mankind or from Earth.
- Cool Car: The Pointer, just like the ones in the original series. However, recent models lacked any features and being portrayed as simple cars. The model varies within each instalments of the home video series.

- Humans Are the Real Monsters: The 1999 Hexalogy and the 2002 Evolution Quintology opted for this element, as Seven's trust for mankind started to waver after seeing their negative sides, while also dealing with the prospect of whether mankind was really worthy of being Earth inhabitants.

- Time Skip: 5 years had passed since the Nonmalt incident from the 1999 Hexalogy Specials.
- Unwitting Pawn: The radical Alien Pegassa faction, Alien Godola, the ESPer children and finally former TDF officer Suwa were all manipulated by Alien Garut for his attempt to conquer Earth (legally).
- Walking the Earth: The entire series as a whole ended with Kazamori leaving to parts unknown while still retaining his merger with Ultraseven.
This is the character list for Heisei Ultraseven. Taking place in an Alternate Universe, it served as a standalone sequel to the original 1967-68 Ultraseven in a world where Seven is the only Ultra to ever set foot on Earth, while the Ultra Garrison never disbanded.
For the original characters of Ultraseven and their exploits in said series, see here.

Ultraseven/Dan Moroboshi
Masaki Kazamori
One of the many members of the reformed Ultra Garrison, Kazamori is a young man who usually looked up to Ultraseven as a hero, but ironically finds Dan's meddling in the team's investigation to be a pain in the neck, especially since Kazamori is the frequent subject of his disguise. He eventually mellowed out after Dan reveal himself as Ultraseven in disguise, to the point where he also switched places with Masaki when the latter performed a Heroic Sacrifice to prevent Alien Valkyrie from escaping. In Evolution, Masaki had retired from the Ultra Guard to become a wanderer, only to find himself in the conflict between aliens when mankind's future was threatened.
- Ascended Fanboy: He is one of the many fans of Ultraseven and it even gets to the point where near the end of Evolution, he became Seven's host a la Shin Hayata with Ultraman.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Taking advantage of Alien Valkyrie possessing him, Kazamori allowed Dan to shoot him in a place where no one else except the two were around, preventing Valkyrie from inhabiting new hosts. Dan store Kazamori into his capsule for recuperation while taking the youth's place in the Ultra Guard.
- Mugged for Disguise: Kazamori found himself often the receiving end of being Dan's disguise when slipping into the new Ultra Guard. It becomes a plot point in the 1999 hexalogy when Dan had to disguise himself as Kazamori for the rest of the series while the real youth was recuperating in the capsule.
- New Meat: Like the rest of his team members, Kazamori is still new to the Ultra Guard and their first case together was foiling Alien Variel's invasion.
Ultra Garrison/TDF
As a whole
- Breaking the Fellowship: By the time a new batch of members were introduced in the 1998 trilogy, the old quartet which Furuhashi used to lead had long disbanded.
- Cool Car: The Pointer itself. Unlike the original series, once per different instalments have them using different car models, but none of them have hidden weaponries like their predecessor.
- Costume Evolution: The original Ultra Garrison wore light blue uniforms. The Heisei era team members were seen in gray colored versions of it.
- The Fellowship Has Ended: The original Ultra Garrison members had long retired after Seven's final battle with Pandon. The only surviving members were Furuhashi (who gets promoted into the captain of the new Ultra Garrison), Anne (who settled her life as a married woman) and Dan (obviously Ultraseven, now operating from the shadows).
- Only One Name: The 1994 TV Special-exclusive members were known for only one name; Kaji, Togo and Risa.
