** Slapping the show's logo on a picture of Series/DrakeAndJosh, with one comment saying "You'll understand if you watched the show" with the show in question depending on which fandom is being presented the joke.
** The Orb Ring NEO is compared to a pizza cutter, just like Orb Trinity's Orb Slasher.

* IKnewIt:
** Prior to the series being announced, quite a few fans predicted that this would be a SpiritualSuccessor to ''Series/UltramanGaia'', given that both ''Series/UltramanTiga'' and ''Series/UltramanDyna'' had gotten successors in the form of ''Series/UltramanOrb'' and ''Series/UltramanGeed'' respectively.
** When Ultrawoman Grigio was unveiled, everybody guessed that her human host is [[spoiler: Asahi Minato]].
** Many Japanese fans believed that [[BenevolentBoss Makoto Aizen]] was to be the BigBad of the series, considering how his flamboyant tendencies appeared to be too suspicious. [[spoiler:They were close, as Aizen turned out to be the DiscOneFinalBoss.]]

* HarsherInHindsight: As if the death of Saki's brothers isn't much of a TearJerker, in ''[[AllThereInTheManual Ultraman R/B Super Complete Works]]'', [[spoiler:[[IdenticalStranger their physical appearance were revealed to be that of]] [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rb1300.png Katsumi and Isami in O-50 uniforms]]]] made her animosity towards the Minato brothers more painful to witness.

** Saki interrupting Mio Minato's attempt at banishing Leugocyte isn't the first time where a rather successful plan at eliminating the monster being derailed because of SkewedPriorities. In R/B's prequel novel, Blu derailed his siblings' attempt at materializing Leugocyte due to the monster still terrorizing the Planet Nepta's native. Even worse since they failed at activating Ruebe's fusion, the siblings never really stood a chance against the monster if they succeeded anyway.
** Also in the novel, the siblings Rosso, Blu and Saki were victims of child exploitation, both under their owner Bakubarba and the Interstellar Alliance (a peacekeeping organization that first appears in Ultraman Orb's novel Ultraman Orb Chronicle). The Series/UltramanZ prequel novel ''Ja no Michi wa Hebi'' further explores [[spoiler:the corruption of Interstellar Alliance and their willingness to destroy the data of one of their underage soldiers to cover up an internal conflict amongst its members]], something which Bakubarba originally intend to do for her orphans once they were no longer of her use.
** In ''R/B'' the Movie, Tregear targets Rosso's human host, Katsumi Minato, by trapping him outside of Planet Earth so as to reduce the number of his opponents when his monster Snake Darkness went rampaging on Earth. Tregear's prequel novel from ''Series/UltramanTaiga'' further explores that him targeting Katsumi Minato isn't a pure coincidence; Rosso's primary form, Flame, harnesses the power of his old friend Taro, who he grew to spite after his turn to darkness.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: This series managed to tone down the use of collectible devices and how they use the past powers of Ultra Warriors. Here, the Minato brothers transforms into Rosso and Blu and what they get are elemental powers, not directly the powers of past Ultra Warriors.

* AssPull: While there are hints of Asahi Minato being the Minato family's TokenNonHuman, [[spoiler:TheReveal in the final episode that she was a R/B Crystal named the Makoto Crystal deliberately came out of nowhere, including the fact that it's a blatant DeusExMachina used to defeat the incredibly invincible Planet Eater Reugosite]].



** Reugosite was originally [[Film/FantasticFour2005 a space cloud that destroyed other planets]].


Added DiffLines:

* ReplacementScrappy: Saki was much worse received as the villain than Aizen, due to her being perceived as less entertaining, and having motives that don't particularly endear her to the audience.

* The Alien Mefilas from "World Without Tomorrow" seems like a typical comedic alien who just wants good ratings for his declining TV show, even if he's a bit of a jerk to his assistant. But then he devises a plan to blow up the Earth along with his assistant (Who goes along with a plan thinking the bombs fake and no one really is in danger) just to have an exciting set piece to boost his shows ratings.

* FanNickname: Ultraman Orb Dark is also called as Ultraman Orb Alter, due to the original Orb's source of power being based on [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Saber]] whereas this copy can be considered an allusion to [[Anime/FateStayNightHeavensFeel Saber's corrupted form]].

** Reugosite is also similar to another famous kaiju. Elongated faces with yellow eyes, glowing orbs on their chest area, tentacles that can choke opponents, fly on angelic wings, EldritchAbominations.. Not too much unlike Iris from the Gamera franchise, huh?

* AmericansHateTingle: Makoto is well-received in the Japanese fandom. However, not many of the fans from outside of Japan are fond of him, considering his [[GloryHound need]] to become an Ultraman being rather childish.

* AmericansHateTingle: AwesomeEgo: The ever flamboyant and eccentric LoonyFan Makoto is well-received in the Japanese fandom. However, not many of the fans from outside of Japan are fond of him, considering Aizen/[[spoiler:Cereza]] has this trope written all over him. From his [[GloryHound need]] to become an Ultraman [[LargeHam over-the-top theatrics]], weird [[{{Idiosyncrazy}} fixation]] with his hero Series/UltramanOrb, [[LaughablyEvil clownish antics]], and being rather childish.a charming, yet insufferable CorruptCorporateExecutive earned him this status.
