My edit of Ultraman barriers (or shields) from Showa to Reiwa era. They're all defensive barriers (rather than containment barriers).
I like the barrier cos it's a classic technique. These barriers resist, reflect, absorb, or charge against incoming enemy attacks or, rarely, against "friendly fires" (from the defense teams).
Basic as they are in principle, it's interesting how these Ultras form their barriers. (My favorite so far is Arc's - and as the series goes on currently, I await what else he can do with his barrier as his imagination enables it).
I feature at least one form of barrier per Ultra - there are so many of them that I can't include them all, especially from the Heisei era onwards (Ultraman Cosmos has, like, 6 forms of barriers).
Not all Ultras have this barrier technique but if I missed something, let me know!

Some general overall thoughts
Here is more Ultraman stuff that almost no one cares about, but Ultraman is fun and that’s ok. It seems I wandered into some of the most unhinged ones. Regardless, this is just a fun one in general too. Yeah, the franchise is a lot of fun even if I’ve slown down a bit. Trigger has improved for me too since it’s lackluster feeling first two episodes.
Ultraman…
dark lugiel voice: oh, so when an ultraman turns kaiju into spark dolls it's fine, but when I do it, it's evil and needs to be stopped at all costs??????
