''Return of Ultraman'' (1971) is the fourth (fifth, if you count ''Ultra Fight'') entry in the ''Franchise/UltraSeries''. Created by Tsuburaya Productions, this time the series was spearheaded by Creator/EijiTsuburaya's son Hajime Tsuburaya, and brought the series back to traditional monster-fighting after the more experimental ''Series/UltraSeven'' and into mainstream popularity once again. The show played a big part during {{Toku}}'s transition from movies to television, and a big player during the "Henshin Boom" era launched by Franchise/KamenRider's popularity.

** The Ultra Bracelet in "Ultraseven arrives"
* MidSeasonUpgrade: The Ultra Bracelet, introduced in episode 18, greatly boosts Jack's combat options and allows him to swiftly defeat the nigh-unbeatable Bemstar. Given how early in the genre's history this occurred, it's a possible candidate for the TropeMaker for mid-season upgrades in Toku shows.

** The first few episodes are somewhat on the fence regarding whether Jack is the OG Ultraman, or a different character altogether, until episode 17 gives Jack his iconic Ultra Bracelet and start differentiating the characters apart.
** Jack's first onscreen decapitation (on Sadola) is done with the Ultra Slash, an attack associated with Ultraman OG, while in later episodes if Jack needs to dismember / decapitate a monster he'll use his trusty bracelet instead. Jack wouldn't use his Ultra Slash for the rest of his live-action appearances (barring video games featuring Jack) until ''Series/UltraGalaxyFightTheAbsoluteConspiracy''.
** The final episode has Ultraman Jack forbidding his host, Hideki Go, to transform out of concerns over fighting Zetton. No such instances would happen later in the entire franchise.
