** The focus of producing a MilestoneCelebration revisiting the original Showa timeline came about as a result of Tsuburaya Productions' financial woes at the time, with the studio becoming convinced that they would be going bankrupt and shutting down soon. Thus, convinced the Ultra Series' end was nigh, they decided to try and go out with a bang through a massive celebration of Ultraman's 40-year history.
** Many elements of the ''Series/UltramanEighty'' tribute episode "Teacher's Memories" were derived from the disappointment and regret Tsuburaya Productions and Takeshi Yamato's actor Hasunori Hasegawa had with doing away the show's initial school-focused angle. When Hasegawa was invited to reprise Yamato, series producer Noriaki Yuasa issued him an apology for the decision and ultimately convinced him to return when he revealed that they had also brought back the now-adult actors for Takeshi's students to reprise their characters. Working with the child actors had been Hasegawa's fondest memories from the show, and consequently, the emotions from the reunion seen in the episode were 100% genuine.

** Toriyama was going to be an ObstructiveBureaucrat much like [[Series/UltramanCosmos Naval Officer Saijo]], but was rewritten to be more sympathetic and comedic after Kenichi Ishii was cast to fit the actor's image.

** Teppei, Konomi, George and Marina were originally going to respectively fuse with Ultraman, Ultraseven, Ultraman Jack and Ultraman Ace in the final battle, but it was scrapped in favour of them fusing with Mebius to gain his Phoenix Brave form. Remnants of this idea can be seen in MythologyGags such as Konomi putting on her glasses like the Ultra Eye, as well as the GUYS members' focus episodes in the final arc having the Ultra Brother they were going to fuse with play an important role.

* GodNeverSaidThat: A common misconception about the Alien Mefilas in this series is that he's the original one from ''Series/{{Ultraman}}''. This actually stems from an AprilFools promotion done by Creator/TsuburayaProductions, but is not helped by him having the same voice actor and the fact that the original one's fate remains unknown to this day.
