* MemeticMutation:
** [[Series/UltramanGaia Ultraman Gayer]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Back when the series had yet to be officially announced and the first leaks popped up, many joked that this series would continue the TDG celebration series with a ''Gaia''-adjacent one and because of the naming convention for ''Trigger'' and ''Decker'' the fans jokingly came to the conclusion that the series would be called: ''[[{{Pun}} Ultraman Gayer]]'', the meme died down once the title was fully confirmed showing that there wouldn't be much direct ''Gaia'' influence on the series.[[/labelnote]]
** [[Series/KamenRiderDrive BLAZAR! THE ULTRAMAN!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Tomoya Warabino, who is famous for the role of Heart in ''Series/KamenRiderDrive'', is cast as the protagonist Gento Hiruma. And Tomoya Warabino is not the first actor of having the distinction of playing a villain in a ''Kamen Rider'' series to become an Ultra Hero, that honor belongs to Hideo Ishiguro, who previously played Kai in ''Series/KamenRiderDenO'', and later, Gai Kurenai in ''Series/UltramanOrb''.[[/labelnote]]
** [[FourTwentyBlazeIt Ultraman Blaze It]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The fact that an Ultraman named "Blazar" was given a reveal on 4/20 was not lost on Western fans. This was a result of time zone differences, as the teaser was released in Japan on 4/21.[[/labelnote]]
** [[WorldOfMuscleMen Everyone in the Cast is Buff]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]After the announcement of Konomi Naito (who is a professional karate fighter in addition to an actor) as a cast member, jokes began flying that every human character on Blazar would be a buff man/woman and even joked that they wouldn't need any mecha or even Ultraman's help because they all could beat the crap out of the kaiju threats with their bare hands. The meek tech officer being surprisingly muscular enforces the meme.[[/labelnote]]
** No! Not [[FanConvention Comiket!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]In the final episode, Varallon's arrival on Earth is heralded by the destruction of Tokyo Big Sight, the convention center where Comiket, the largest {{Doujinshi}} convention, is being held twice a year. This became a source of amusement for fans, especially those of ''Franchise/LoveLive'', because of the fact that [[Anime/LoveLiveNijigasakiHighSchoolIdolClub Nijigasaki High School]] is based off Tokyo Big Sight.[[/labelnote]]
* MemeticPsychopath: Ultraman Blazar, largely due to his grunts sounding more like savage growls, some fans have started depicting him as a feral caveman who can and will bite off another Ultra's fingers.

** Episode 15 teeters over the edge of being a ShotForShotRemake of [[Series/{{Ultraman}} the Gavadon episode]], with enough differences that you can excuse the similar plotting and staging as a MythologyGag… until the end, when the kids separate and one says he’s going to ''write'' to his friends (as opposed to texting or emailing them, like most kids today would).

After being down on his luck, failing to sell those policies, he meets a widow whom he bonds with and later risks his own life to save her when such an attack happens in the town where she lives.

Replaced with different example, now that Red King has actually appeared.


** The sheer amount of new kaiju, along with the returning ones not being the ones that many fans had grown weary of seeing again (such as Red King and Pagos), also managed to draw a lot of fan interest and excitement, with hopes of future series following suit in going back to using mostly original kaiju being raised.

** #10: Blazar stopping Gento from killing the parent Demaaga and orphaning its child. It's also implied Blazar did this due to the fact it would sadden Gento's son, Jun, who notes that Demaaga is a NonMaliciousMonster, who simply wants to protect its child.
** #12: TheReveal that Blazar ran away from Gebalga not just out of fear, but rather for the sake of protecting his host. This repairs the bond he shares with Gento with the two fighting against Gebalga once more.
** #18: Gento expects his family to be mad or disappointed in him when he arrives late due to needing to deal with Irugo. However, they are actually proud of him since they saw the footage of him saving the TV crew from the rubble caused by the kaiju.
