History Series / UltraSeven

* ShaggydogStory: "The Stolen Ultra Eye" from Maya's point of view; "Dark Zone" from Alien Pegassa's point of view.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Robot Commander
* FriendlyEnemy: Metron [[AffablyEvil is pretty nice to talk to, and is polite to Dan]]. However, he's also responsible for hundreds of violent incidents in the town he has a hold over.

* LullDestruction: The Cinar dub adds synth music during moments of silence or sound-effects-only scenes. Take the dump truck scene from "The Targeted Sound", for example. In the Japanese version, the scene with the dump truck trying to run Dan off the road has no dialogue or music until the truck stops. In the dubbed version, the scene begins with [[ScareChord a droning synth chord]], [[NothingIsScarier taking away from the suspense]]. Same with Furuhashi's [[HatePlague sudden fit of anger]].

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

* AlternateContinuity: The Seven movies, video specials, and Ultraseven X are pretty much in their own timeline.

* ImpairmentShot: Dan in Episode 18, when Alien Bell's BrownNote disabled him, and Episode 48, due to his weakening condition. Seven in Episode 18, after transforming, and Episode 23, due to Gabora's venomous bite.

* AlienAmongUs

* DubInducedPlotHole: This is in regards to the Cinar dub and Episode 48. Even if Dan is not in his best shape, how could he zone out for 40 minutes and fail to warn the UG in time to prevent the arrival of Pandon without incurring the ire of Kiriyama? The Captain would have punished him (ground him on the spot), and instead said nothing. There was no indication in the original Japanese episode that 40 min passed.

** Tha Magmalizer, which was used in the BigDamnHeroes moments above.

* DroneOfDread: One tune, called "Space Monster", features a droning bass drum and dissonant horns to great effect. A similar tune, minus the horn section and plus a faster tempo, was used sometimes.

* RecycledInSpace: ''{{Series/Ultraman}}'' meets ''Series/StarTrek'' ON EARTH!

* ADeathInTheLimelight: EnsignNewbie/GloryHound Aoki in "Glory For Whom", Soga's rival Kurota in "The 0.1 second kill".

** The big rock in "The Green Terror" is made of Tilsonite 808.

* NoRomanticResolution

Stationary Post Observer (or Agent) #340 from the M78 Nebula was surveying the Milky Way one time. He flew down to planet Earth when he saw a selfless mountain climber named Jiro Satsuma do a HeroicSacrifice to [[CutTheSafetyRope save his friend on a mountain climbing journey]] (Think the movie ''Film/VerticalLimit''). Agent 340 rescued Satsuma in the knick of time, and was so moved by the man's courage that he decided to stay on our planet and patterned his human identity on Satsuma's, going by the name Dan Moroboshi. People would come to know him as Ultra Seven, champion of Earth against alien attacks.

** "The Targeted Town" may have been inspired by an episode of ''Series/TheTwilightZone'' called "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street".

** Dinosaur Tank [[CaptainObvious combined a living creature with a mecha.]]

* CreepyHighPitchedVoice: The Poll aliens from "Challenge at --140°"

* RedShirt: A young, impetuous upstart called Aoki in "Glory For Whom?", and Soga's sniper rival Kiyota in "The 0.1 Second Kill".

* SayMyName: "DAAAAAAAAAN!"

''Ultraseven'' (sometimes ''Ultra Seven'' or ''Ultra-7''), the third entry in the ''Franchise/UltraSeries'', is more serious, had very sophisticated writing and plotting, and its style is purely Science Fiction, as opposed to its kid-friendlier predecessor. Ultra Seven is an iconic character, in fact so successful that he (and actor Kouji Moritsugu, who played Dan Moroboshi) has appeared in many subsequent shows and movies, even starring in ''Series/UltramanLeo'' seven (no pun intended) years later. Decades later, Seven receives a SpinOffspring, ''Franchise/UltramanZero''.

** Petelo was a giant cactus.

** The {{Cinar}} dub of the series had an AnimatedCreditsOpening, which featured lots of laser effects and an animated Ultraseven flying towards the screen.

* BittersweetEnding: Series-wise: Pandon and the Ghos aliens are annihilated, yet Seven is weak and is forced to fly home. Meanwhile, all those cities were blown up. Dan's teammates are not sure Seven will survive the trip, they're not even sure Seven ''is'' Dan. And Dan DidNotGetTheGirl.
