History Series / UltramanGinga

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: [[spoiler:In ''S'', the Commander of [=UPG=] decides to use a secret super weapon called the Victorium Cannon to fight monsters. On one hand, he's right that the humans need to be able to defend himself, on the other creating it is stealing from the Victorians no differently than the BigBad to make a WeaponOfMassDestruction, something the ones who actually ''own'' the Victorium decidedly are against. In addition, last time people tried to use the Victorium in this way, they overestimated their ability to control it and nearly destroyed themselves.]]

* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever

* BigBad:
** [[spoiler: Dark Lugiel]] for ''Ginga''.
** Exceller for ''Ginga S''.

* OrcusOnHisThrone: [[spoiler:: Dark Lugiel]] doesn't do more than send out his chief minions to hand out Spark Dolls and Dummy Dark Sparks for most of the series. [[spoiler:

** For once there's no paramilitary group with massive vehicles backing up our heroes, just a SecretKeeper circle much like KamenRider does.

** To a much lesser extent, [[spoiler: Isurugi]], who although remaining competent unlike the above, is no longer Ginga's equal.

* LiteralSplitPersonality: [[spoiler:Gina and Lugiel were once a single being, but their conflict over how best to help make the universe a better place ultimately resulted in them splitting into two separate beings, one the light and the other the darkness.]]

Got a sequel series in 2014 called '''''Ultraman Ginga S''''', which introduced a new Ultra named Ultraman Victory

* CurbstompBattle: [[spoiler:Ginga and Victory's first battle with Victory Lugiel is ''implied'' to be this by the first scene of the following episode, but ultimately was more of a CurbstomCushion. While they managed to get some hits in, they ultimately could barely even scratch him.]]

* FightingFromTheInside: [[spoiler:In episode 5 of Ginga S, Gouki gets possessed by Yapool...but manages to regain control at the sight of a woman going into labor. He proceeds to completely suppress Yapool the ''entire'' car ride to the hospital and ''while'' inside of Giant Yapool until Ginga knocks him out of Yapool.]]

* HijackedByGanon: [[spoiler:Exceller's goal was to resurrect Dark Lugiel's body and steal it for himself...but Dark Lugiel himself eventually wakes back up and quickly disposes of him to take his place as the FinalBoss.]]

'''''Ultraman Ginga''''', a part of the ''Franchise/UltraSeries'', is a Japanese television series produced by Tsuburaya Productions which celebrates the 50th anniversary of the company and is part of the New Ultraman Retsuden programming block.

* BadAss: Ginga himself, obviously.
** Ichijouji and his [[spoiler: HumongousMecha Jean Killer/ Jean-Nine, who fights Ginga 3 times and 3 times either wins or puts up a good fight, and later remains the only protagonist anywhere near as strong as Ginga,.]]
** A villainous one in [[spoiler: Seichiro Ichijouji's Ultra Dark/Seven Dark, who consistently hands Ginga his ass on a platter until Ginga undergoes an emotional powerup.]]
** [[spoiler: Ultraman Taro when he finally grows big. He nearly defeats Dark Lugiel.]]

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoileer:Bolst tries to at least form an EnemyMine with Ginga to deal with Exceller after being stabbed in the back by him, but the [=UPG=]'s commander orders for them to blast him in the back with the Victorium Cannon, killing him.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Mana sacrifices herself to damage Victory Lugiel's internal systems to weaken him.]]

* FakeDefector: [[spoiler:Mana tries this on Exceller to get inside Victory Lugiel and kill him, but unfortunately it doesn't quite work out.]]

* CurbstompBattle: [[spoiler:Ginga and Victory's first battle with Victory Lugiel was so one sided it's shown in ''flashback''. While they managed to get some hits in, they ultimately could barely even scratch him.]]

* CameBackStrong: [[spoiler:Exceller manages to resurrect Dark Lugiel, merging him with the hero's base and Victorium to turn him into Victory Lugiel. Ichijouji even outright states he's become ''much'' stronger than last time (though the Dark Spark was also destroyed in the FinalBattle with him). He's so powerful that he completely domolishes Victory and Ginga ''offscreen''.]]

* CurbstompBattle: [[spoiler:Ginga and Victory's first battle with Victory Lugiel was so one sided it's not even shown ''onscreen''. It just cuts to the aftermath after both were demolished.]]

* CameBackStrong: [[spoiler:Exceller manages to resurrect Dark Lugiel, merging him with the hero's base and Victorium to turn him into Victory Lugiel. Ichijouji even outright states he's become ''much'' stronger than last time (though the Dark Spark was also destroyed in the FinalBattle with him).]]
