* YouHaveFailedMe: Alien Bat [[spoiler:executes Gubila and Gomess]] after their Heel Face Turn for failing to stop Ultraman Cosmos or Ultraman Zero

Meanwhile Ultraman Zero, whom is still living in yet ''another'' different universe ([[Film/UltramanZeroTheRevengeOfBelial from "previous events"]]) has heard the distress calls from the Earth that Alien Bat is ravaging and thus heads there to stop Alien Bat's tyranny and save the Earth from Zetton. Taking the form of Nozomu Taiga, a young pilot of Super GUTS, Zero joins with makeshift Earth Defense Force group Team U, as well as Musashi Haruno, (Series/UltramanCosmos) and Shin Asuka (Series/UltramanDyna), together the team of heroes set out to stop Alien Bat and Hyper Zetton from conquering the Universe.

** ContinuitySnarl: Applies heavily if you count ''Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends'' as it is the first part of the Zero trilogy [[spoiler:since Ultraman Dyna appeared in that film as well]]. According to WordOfGod, the film's writer wished to [[CreatorBacklash disregard the events of the first film as he deemed them too confusing]] when it involved Dyna. However in doing so, then it would also contradict [[Film/UltramanZeroTheRevengeOfBelial the events of the sequel as well]], thus it would never be explained how Ultraman Zero arrive in the multiverse in the first place, knew who Ultraman Belial was, OR recognize who Dyna was in this film as well.

Somewhere in another universe, [[BigBad the evil]] Alien Bat has abducted the entire population of Earth with the exception of a minor few children and is creating a massive monster that feeds on their fear and despair. This monster is non other than Zetton, the first monster to have beaten Series/{{Ultraman}}!

* Tearjerker: [[spoiler: After Anna's mecha/plane crashes, Risa desperately tries to revive her while she, Misato, and Sawa calling for her. She flatlines and all seems lost, but Risa still keeps trying. At the same time, the three Ultraman are defeated by Hyper Zetton. In one last pull of hope, the three turn into Ultraman Saga and Anna is miraculously revived.]]

* CurbstompBattle: Ultraman Dyna vs. Earthtron.

* MarilynManeuver: One of the members of AKB48 in a miniskirt has one of these moments when Ultraman Zero transforms to fight Giganto Zetton.
