History Series / UltraSeven

** Furuhashi's friend Ayako, in Episode 40.

* TheSoCalledCoward: According to Kurata, Dan failed to stop the Ghos aliens on first sight and ran away after his team was attacked. [[TheLastDance Dan had bigger fish to fry.]]

* VichyEarth: Vichy ''Mars'', in the case of the Ghos aliens. They want the UG to surrender the Earth so they can destroy it, and in return, Earthlings will live in the caves of the red planet as slaves.

** Before Seven defeated the Ghos aliens and Pandon for good, [[spoiler: Amagi was taken hostage, Seven was injured, and several world cities were destroyed]].

->''Far among the galaxy is where your home lies.\\

Ultraseven, Seven Seven.\\
March to the end of the big Milky Way.\\
With the Ultra Eye, SPARK!''

The show received an American dub, a co-production of Turner Program Services[[note]]the syndication arm of Turner Broadcasting, which also distributed ''Series/{{Starcade}}'', ''Series/TheWonderYears'' and (post-1991) Creator/HannaBarbera series; it was eventually absorbed into [[Creator/{{Lorimar}} Telepictures Distribution]] in 1996 and in turn into Creator/WarnerBros Television Distribution in 2003[[/note]] and Canadian studio Creator/{{Cinar}}[[note]]rebranded as Creator/CookieJarEntertainment in 2004 following a brief shutdown; acquired by Creator/DHXMedia in 2012[[/note]] in 1985; however, for various reasons, the episodes weren't shown until the mid-90s, when Creator/{{TNT}} dusted them off.

->''Seven! Seven! Seven!''

* OddlyNamedSequel: Both, the show and the titular protagonist, are named Ultraseven, not Ultraman Seven. The naming convention of having every Ultra protagonist named "Ultraman [something]" didn't start until ''Series/UltramanAce''. In fact, ''Ultraman'' and ''Ultraseven'' weren't even part of the same shared universe until a later retcon made them so.

** A retroactive example: "The Dead Invaders" were corpses revived by aliens, like zombies, months before ''Film/NightOfTheLivingDead'' and years before the Invaders did the same with (sometimes) dead humans in ''{{Series/Mirrorman}}''.

* DaylightHorror: Most alien threats take place during the day. The human incidents in "The Targeted Town", as well as Dan's encounter with Alien Metron and their earlier threat to him (he was run off the road by a "driver-less" truck), nearly all took place in broad daylight. (Soga and Furuhashi had their freakout incidents indoors, so it's hard to tell when they happened.) The Guts aliens invoked this with their planned execution of Seven.

* DeathByGenreSavvy: The Guts aliens.

* LooksLikeCesare: The human guise of Alien Icarus.

* MemeticHandGesture: The Ultra Eye pose, the L-shaped Wide Shot, the Emerium Beam two-handed inverted V, the clasped hands beind the head to deploy the Eye Slugger, the two arms across to transform back from giant size, to name a few.

* FiveManBand[=/=]TrueCompanions: The Ultra Garrison
** TheHero[=/=]SixthRanger: Dan Moroboshi/Ultra Seven
** TheLancer: Soga, the hot-headed sniper
** TheSmartGuy: Amagi, Intelligence expert with an IQ of 200
** TheBigGuy: Furuhashi, a consummate athlete, weapons expert, and laid-back guy
** TheChick[=/=]TheMedic: Anne Yuri, the Token Female
** TheCaptain: Kiriyama, the soft-spoken, fatherly leader

* IdiotBall: In Episode 46, Dan and Anne were following a Salome alien responsible for blowing up a ship. Dan blew it when he [[DistractedByTheSexy would stare at the "pretty girl" for a long time]], [[WhatAnIdiot then chased her by car at high speed]]. Not long after, he got captured.

* NuclearNasty: Alien Spehl

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: That was the reaction to [[BannedInChina Episode 12]] among a support group for [[UnfortunateImplications survivors of the atomic bombs in Japan]]

* IllGirl: Osamu (a boy) in "The Brave One". Akira (another boy) in "The Strange Neighbor". Amagi's fiancée in "The Flower Where Evil Lies". Anne and her friend in "The Human Farm"; Dan himself in "The World's Greatest Invasion".
