History Series / UltramanDecker

* StylisticSuck: The animation for the VirtualTrainingSimulation in Episode 3 is rendered in an obviously crude and low-quality way to the point where it looks like a [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 PS2]] game.

The series is followed by an epilogue movie, ''Ultraman Decker Finale: Journey to Beyond''.

* GaiasVengeance: In episode 11, Cpt. Murahoshi puts up an amateur theory that the Kaiju of Earth attack threats to the planet who are UpsettingTheBalance like the Sphere and also they view the Terraphaser as such as one. It later turns out he is [[spoiler:RightForTheWrongReason since it turns out that Terraphaser is actually empowered by Spheres with the native kaiju sensing it]].

* BrickJoke: Captain Murahoshi tells Kanata in Episode 3, "The GUTS Falcon was originally made to be operated by remote control Piloting it really sucks." Kanata gives Ichika the exact same advice in the final episode.

* DarkerAndEdgier: To its preceding series, ''Series/UltramanTriggerNewGenerationTiga'', in stark contrast with how ''Series/UltramanDyna'' was LighterAndSofter compared to ''Series/UltramanTiga. From the very start of the series, the setting is much bleaker and while it does balance lighthearted moments at times. The show kickstarted with the Spheres isolating Earth with a barrier, while the titular Ultra himself is unable to stop them and the Mars Colony beforehand is ravaged, furthermore we see soldiers dying onscreen to the Spheres via getting absorbed while Trigger had no such casualties onscreen. Things get even more complicated midway through the series [[spoiler:when Professor Yuichiro Asakage, one of the TPU's researchers and initially a major supporting character, turns out to be Agams the Bazdor an alien from an alternate future who came to help the Spheres devour Earth, with his betrayal impacting our protagonist greatly, and Agams' tragic backstory didn't help matters either]]. It ends up as one of the darker ''New Generation'' series as a result.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The Mother Spheresaurus is defeated, finally ending the threat of the Spheres for good. However, in spite of this, Agams sacrifices himself to protect Decker from the Mother Spheresaurus' attack, but he is reunited with Laelia in death.]]
