I HAVE GOT TO WATCH Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna: Warriors of the Star of Light

[tokusongs]

"Shinin' on Love", from Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna: Warriors of the Star of Light (1998). Performed by Kageyama Hironobu and Maeda Tatsuya.

[seatopian]

for clarification of what i’ve seen from this era: Showa Ultraman from Utlra Q to most of Ultraman Taro half of Kamen Rider ‘71 Space Sheriff Gavan Zeiram 1/2 Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue/Kamen Rider ZO/J Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna: Warriors of the Star of Light every Godzilla and Gamera film

loving what i've seen of King-Ohger and Blazar so far but i need to watch more 70's to 90's toku, as it's my favorite. from Space Sheriff Gavan to Zeiram 1/2 (really any Keita Amemiya work pre-Garo) to even as far back as Kamen Rider '71, i love that style of toku. anyone got any recommendations?

Ultraman Dyna will be released on DVD on November 16 via Mill Creek Entertainment. It’s the 13th installment in Tsuburaya Productions’ long-running Ultra franchise.

The tokusatsu series aired in Japan for 51 episodes from 1997 to 1998. Takeshi Tsuruno, Ryo Kinomoto, Toshikazu Fukawa, Risa Saito, Takao Kase, Joe Onodera, Mariya Yamada, Toshiaki Amada, and Hiroshi Tsuburaya star.

The set also includes Kazuya Konaka's 1998 spin-off film Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna: Warriors of the Star of Light and Masaki Harada's 2001 special Ultraman Dyna: The Return of Hanejiro.

The programs are presented with its original Japanese audio and English subtitles. No special features are included.

The Year: 2017. Humanity is facing new challenges and dangers as they have built settlements throughout the Solar System in their conquest of unknown lands during the Age of Neo Frontier Era.

The Super GUTS team is a seven person fighting force, as intelligent as they are courageous. Their task; to investigate unusual phenomena and protect mankind from overwhelming danger.

Without warning, the Martian settlement is attacked by a mysterious “Sphere” which transforms to an immense insect-like monster. The Super GUTS team springs into action, taking on the beast in a tough battle. During the fight, Agent Asuka is surrounded by a dazzling light and a new giant of light appears!

Pre-order Ultraman Dyna.

ULTRAMAN TIGA: THE FINAL ODYSSEY

After an absence of 16 years from television screens the Ultra franchise returned in 1996 with Ultraman Tiga.

Set in a different universe than the M-78 Universe of the original shows, Tiga was the first Ultra with multiple battle modes and more than just a red-and-silver color scheme.

Ultraman Tiga was immensely popular and was instrumental in reviving the Ultra franchise.  The series ran 52 episodes and was immediately followed by the next series, Ultraman Dyna.  Dyna was direct sequel to Tiga, with most of Tiga’s main cast, and even some supporting characters, making appearances. 

Ultraman Tiga remained popular enough to headline the net two theatrical releases from Tsuburaya Productions: Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna: Warriors of the Star of Light, and Ultraman Tiga, Ultraman Dyna & Ultraman Gaia: The Decisive Battle in Hyperspace.

However, in both of those films Ultraman Tiga is really just a guest star who shows up in the last reel to save the day.  Warriors of the Star of Light is an Ultraman Dyna film, taking place approximately mid-way through his series.  The Decisive Battle in Hyperspace is an Ultraman Gaia film, taking place about mid-way through his series as well.

It isn’t until the year 2000 that Ultraman Tiga gets an actual film sequel to his series with The Final Odyssey.  For anyone watching the films in order of release it seemed kind of weird that both Dyna and Gaia got their films before Tiga.

The Final Odyssey is set 2 years after the end of Tiga’s series.  We are presented a very entertaining story that delves back into Tiga’s origins.  The film also serves as an epilogue to the Tiga series, and a prologue to the Dyna series.  There’s a very amusing “passing of the torch” moment that I’m sure all fans enjoyed.

And to top it off, Daigo (Tiga’s human host) and Rena finally get married!

Odd note of interest to no one:  Rena Yanase, Daigo’s love interest and eventual wife, was portrayed by actress Takami Yoshimoto.  She is the daughter of Susumu Kurobe, who portrayed Shin Hayate, the first Ultraman’s host.  According to some sources I’ve read, she did not let the folks at Tsuburaya Productions know she was Susumu Kurobe’s daughter until after she had auditioned and been awarded the role of Rena.

Shin Ultraman Retsuden quick summary 8

Last of these unless I take a good look at Ultraman Zero the Chronicle. OP: Again, pretty sure not a single thing was new. 143: X, now separated from Daichi, mentions the Ultra Heroes he's worked with, and goes into detail on others, starting with Seven's battle with Airo Seijin, then Nexus (Ren) battling with Mega Flash and Galberos, Tiga's battle with Enomena, and Cosmos' battle with Neo Baltan. 144: X tells us about the first episode of Ultraman. 145-146: Bringing up past aid from Max, X discusses his final battle. Max joins him in space at the end. 147: Bringing up his recent assistance, X looks at Tiga's types and his battles with Raybeak Seijin and Zoigarg. He then compares to Cosmos mode changing against Chaos Buffer, then Dyna against Graisas. He makes a comparison of his armours to type changes, and we get a first look at Orb's main forms. 148: Zero returns to teach us about Ultraman Jack's battle with Bemstar, the debut of the Ultra Bracelet. Jack and Seven appear with him at the end. 149: Ginga returns to tell us about his mentor, Taro's, final battle, even transforming into Ginga Strium at the end. Somehow. 150: After they defeat a legion of Legionoids together (sadly lacking a Leo Zero Double Flasher, Zero talks about the episode of Leo guest starring Jack. At the end he brings up how his Ultimate Bracelet works similarly to the Ultra Bracelet, and is joined by Leo and Jack. 151: After losing a training battle using the Ultra Lance to Jack, Zero does a weapon spotlight, starting with Jack's Ultra Lance, then Mebius Brave's Mebium Knight Blade, then Max's Maxium Sword and Max Galaxy, and finally Exceed X's Xlugger, Victory Knight's Knight Timbre and Ginga's Ginga Spark Lance. He does a quick spotlight of his own weapons, the Zero Sluggers, Zero Twin Sword, Ultra Zero Lance and Ultra Zero Defender, and showcases Orb Hurricane Slash, acknowledging it borrows his and Jack's powers, but not showing the Orb Slugger Lance. He mentions his own forms that borrow the power of Dyna and Cosmos. Jack joins him at the end. 152-154: After showing something of a training session between Taro and Mebius, Ginga tells us about Mebius' final battle. At the end of the first part Orb Burnmite is seen in the sponsor announcement. Mebius joins him at the end of the last part. 155: Here we are. 259 Retsuden episodes total, the grand finale. As long as I don't look at Ultraman Zero the Chronicle. Zero is joined in the Land of Light by Ginga and X to perform a fairly comprehensive overview of Ultra Warriors. Zero starts us in M78 heroes, starting with a quick shot of Ultraman King, the Father of Ultra and the Mother of Ultra, then showing one of Ultraman's battles with Baltan Seijin, then the classic battle between the Ultra 6 Brothers and Temperor Seijin. Ginga uses the Leo Brothers battle from Ultra Fight Victory to showcase them. As another example of Ultra Teamwork, the battle where Ultraman 80 and Yullian fought together and used the Double Power is shown. Zero continues by showing Jonias' live action fight. Can't tell if the whole different universes thing is mentioned. They go through the list of the 10 Ultra Warriors, and X reflects on those he's worked with, noting he has only met 6 of them. Zero decides to explain the rest, starting with Dyna, using Return of Hanejiro. There is some confusion about Booska's cameo. Ginga explains Gaia, and also shows Agul after he's mentioned. Ginga and Zero explain Cosmos together. They then explain Mebius and Hikari using Armoured Darkness. They then, using what I believe is footage from a special that attaches to a Cosmos movie (want to say its The Blue Planet) mention the other heroes they couldn't show off, such as Scott, Chuck, Beth, Great, Powered, Zearth, Nice, Neos and Seven 21 (is Justice in there?) Using the 50th anniversary photo Justice, Legend, Xenon, Saga, GingaVictory and Ribut sneak alongside the acknowledged Orb. And that's all they wrote.

Kamen Rider 45th Anniversary File: Shotaro Ishinomori

1938:

Superman debuts in Action Comics #1

Walt Disney establishes himself as a leading pioneer of animation with the first full-length feature film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

King Kong Appears in Edo, a jidaigeki take on America’s 1933 King Kong film debuts and is one of the first kaiju/tokusatsu films in history. It is sadly also a lost film as all prints are believed to have been lost or destroyed during the war. The only evidence of its existence are old movie posters, some production photos and archived magazines.

Eiji Tsuburaya briefly works at the Tokyo branch of Toho Studios as head of the Special Visual Effects department, but later leaves and works on war propaganda films for the Japanese government.

Hitler assumed absolute power over Germany by overthrowing the established government. World War II is fast approaching as this evil man spread his philosophies of death, chaos and madness.

The Great Depression hits even harder after almost a decade around the world and would not let up until 1941 and officially end by the late 40s and early 1950s. (though a recession would hit in ‘58)

Japan was at war with China.

And while the world braced for more doom, death and gloom and seeing the absolute worst in humanity....

On January 25th, 1938, Kashiku Onodera and Kotaro Onodera welcomed the newest member of thier family: their second oldest child Shotaro. The Onodera family would later consist of five brothers and an older sister named Yoshie.

Young Shotaro grew up during the second World War and by middle school would be something of a curious artist. He would make manga of his own and his first one published was in 1954 with Second Class Angel. This hobby eventually paid off in 1955 when he got an assistant job from...

Osamu Tezuka!

His tasks were to help the cartoonist on various manga, most notably a story in Tetsuwan Atom aka Astro Boy. 

When not working with Tezuka, Ishinomori would do his own manga adapting classic literary works. Some of the novels would later inspire him for his creations, such as Akumaizer 3, his own wild spin on the Three Musketeers.

While he was a good artist, his family was less than supportive of his work aside from his big sister Yoshie. She was always there for her little brother and cheered him on, even inspiring him to draw. She even visited him while he worked in the Tokiwa-so building in Tokyo and hung out with his fellow artists. Which is all the more tragic, as she died in 1958 from complications of asthma at only 23 years of age. 

This tragedy and the inability to do anything to save her life haunted Ishinomori and some of his female characters are loosely based on the kind of person she was or had bits of her character traits. So in essence, the Pink Rangers, at least in spirit, just may possibly have a part of her that resides in the heroines of Sentai and indirectly; the Morphin’ Grid. Female heroes such as Tackle (whose actress also sadly died of an asthma attack) also could be influenced by the kind of personality she had when she was alive.

On July 19, 1964, Shotaro created Cyborg 009, which launched him into super stardom. 

On April 3rd, 1971, he hit the big time by teaming up with Tohru Hirayama to create Kamen Rider.

From there, he became synonymous with Super Heroes. But Ishinomori was a jack of all trades, he also did dramas, love stories, crime stories, Shoujo, ninja etc. So calling him “The Stan Lee of Manga” while somewhat factual in terms of superheroes, is kind of an insult to his prowess as he was more expansive in versatility than that.

Originally going by Ishimori, Shotaro changed it to Ishinomori in 1985 to celebrate 30 years of working in the media industry.

His influence is just as great as Tezuka, among those who worked for him were:

A young animator named Hayao Miyazaki in the 1960s worked as an artist on some of Ishinomori’s animated films. 

Go Nagai, a student of his and an assistant. Later became a legend in his own right after leaving him in 1967 to create Mazinger Z, Cutie Honey and most famous of all, Devilman! Go Nagai once appraised in an interview that his mentor had a drawing ability that bordered on being superhuman as “He was a genius who could draw five times faster than the average adult artist.”

Kazuhiko Shimamoto

Takao Aoki, the creator of Beyblade (worked on a short story featuring RX and ZO and on the Kamen Rider ZO TV-Kun manga)

Ishinomori was also a lyrical composer, as some of the songs in Kamen Rider were written by him. Even fan favorite songs of his other works such as Taga Tame Ni from the ‘79 Cyborg 009 anime was written by him.

ForestofStone can explain his life a lot better than I can (Credit to her for some of this interesting info!):

http://forestofstone.tumblr.com/post/125974267909/shotaro-ishinomori-the-king-of-manga

Cameos

Despite being in manga, anime and TV, Ishinomori originally wanted to be a filmmaker and went on trips to see landmarks and observe the world around him for inspiration. This gave him better insight into people and inspired his drawings in some cases.

He even decided to take a page from Alfred Hitchcock and make cameos in his TV shows and films:

 Kaiketsu Zubat Ep. 10: A Baseball player

A guest on a luxury cruise in the film Eight Riders vs. Galaxy King.

A Fisherman who gets killed by the monster of the week in episode 84 of the original Kamen Rider.

He also cameoed in video games:

A fisherman in the Kamen Rider Black Movie Hurry To Onigashima. Now sporting a ‘stache with his trademark afro.

His final living cameo in Shin Kamen Rider Prologue as a spy eavesdropping in on the Foundation.

Even after he died, he still is a presence in the works he created. In Cyborg 009: The Cyborg Soldier he appears and interacts with Professor Gilmore (though voiced by someone else).

Shotaro Ishinomori, as drawn by his biggest fan Kazuhiko Shimamoto in a manga.

Of course, all life must end. It is the biological entropy of the universe we can never fully escape as we all must go at some point. And such a creative talent was taken from us far too soon.

But the late Mr. Ishinomori now has two museums made in his honor, a Guinness World Record posthumously awarded for the most comics drawn by a single author, tons of manga artists who view him as a role model and a growing amount of respect from artists in the American comic book industry. 

1998:

Seiju Sentai Gingaman debuts

Ultraman Gaia airs, created by future Digimon Tamers head writer Chiaki J. Konaka

Kids around the world were crazy ‘bout the Pokeymans, some of which were inspired by the Kaiju of popular films in design.

Disney celebrates 60 years of making animated films with their latest feature Mulan.

Superman turns 60 and is sporting an electric blue costume (with a cool shield design but lacking his trademark powers).

Power Rangers in Space airs.

Megaranger vs. Carranger hits VHS

Rebirth of Mothra III, the last entry in the Rebirth of Mothra series premieres in Japanese theaters. 

Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna: Warriors of the Star of Light acts as the first Heisei film crossover of Ultras and premieres in Japanese theaters.

America made a Godzilla movie. This was a terrible mistake and made a lot of people angry. It also had that Taco Bell dog promote the film by doing a commercial or two. HEERE LEEZARD LEEZARD LEEZARD!

Often fans wonder what would have happened had he lived into an older age.

Well for starters, Kamen Rider would be vastly different given some of his concepts and that Bijinder movie would have been made. Cyborg 009′s story possibly would have been completed over a decade earlier.

Jerry Robinson of Batman fame would have done a crossover with Kamen Rider, having met Mr. Ishinomori in Japan and proposing such in 1996, with possible further collaborations with DC Comics when they had the manga imprint CMX. Shotaro could have taken advantage of Japanese media coming in droves to the US during the 90s Anime boom to do new projects exclusively for America.

So many possibilities, but none can come to pass. But let’s not focus on the “What if’s”, let’s focus on the man’s legacy and pay our respects.

Here’s to you Mr. Ishinomori, without you there would be no Kamen Rider or Power Rangers. Thank you so much for giving us a wonderful world of characters and stories and I’ll do my best to pass them onto others so they too can tell them to the world! エクセルシオール Ekuserushiōru!

Asuka reminded Iruma of Daigo and her team that she misses. Would've been more wholesome if Daigo came back to visit her too. 🥺

"Captain, we heard that you were in the front line, fighting once more. It reminded us of ourselves in the past. The many memories we had, fighting together. We felt we needed to catch up with you."

Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna: Warriors of the Star of Light (1998)

[chernobog13]

I really liked the relationship between these two.  I would have liked to see more of their adventures together, apart from the rest of GUTS.  But at least we got that one quick scene at the end of Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna: Warriors of the Star of Light when Munakata arrives in Captain Iruma’s office with a bouquet.

Ultraman Tiga (Ep 33) : Vampire City

"Once while I was on the Self-Defense Force, I almost died because of my mistake. When I was about to give up, she was the one who risked her own life and saved me from the abyss of despair."
