YMMV / Ultraman: Rising

• Memetic Mutation: The reveal of Ultraman’s news design sparked many jokes along the lines of “Ultraman Twink”.
  • The reveal of the plot, specifically in raising a kaiju, also led to “Ultraman Dilf.”
  • Also, comments that now all four of the major stars of the kaiju genre (Kong, Godzilla, Gamera, and Ultraman) have experience with parenting.
• Older Than They Think: The concept of a baby kaiju imprinting onto an Ultraman protagonist was previously explored in the Ultraman 80 episode "Lullaby for a Migrating Monster", where Baru mistakes Takeshi Yamato (and, by extension Ultraman 80) for its mother after its egg was separated from its herd.
