Ultraman Decker (ウルトラマンデッカー Urutoraman Dekkā?) is a Japanese tokusatsu drama produced by Tsuburaya Productions, as well as the 34th entry to the Ultraman Series and the fourth in the Reiwa era. Decker serves as the sequel to Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga and celebrating the 25th anniversary of Ultraman Dyna. The series aired on TV Tokyo on July 9, 2022.[5][6]

Synopsis

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Main article: List of Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga characters

Ultraman Decker takes place years after the end of Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga, where Earth has entered a period of peace once again. When humanity begins their outer space exploration program and their monster attack countermeasures diminish at the same time, the Spheres launch their attacks, causing Earth to be desolated and become a lone star. A civilian named Kanata Asumi bonds with the titular Ultraman Decker and joins the newly reformed GUTS-Select in addition to his fellow rookie members in their fight against the Spheres.[5][6][7][8][9]

Production

Ultraman Decker and the titular Ultra were first announced by Tsuburaya Productions at the end of Ultraman Trigger: Episode Z as a post-credit scene.[10] The show was later officially announced on March 31, 2022. As with Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga, Decker continues to celebrate the TDG Heisei Trilogy series that consists of Ultraman Tiga, Dyna and Gaia, hence Decker itself representing Dyna as its modern-day retelling of the series.[5][6] In addition, Hironobu Kageyama sings the ending theme, Kanata Tōku, returning exactly 25 years after performing for the second ending theme of Dyna.[3][4]

According to director Takesue, while Decker inherited many aspects from Dyna, he aims to take the show's direction to a different approach from its source of inspiration. As such, the titular Ultra has his Color Timer's positioning at the left side of his pectoral and his chest bearing the image of the universe, but his overall design and silhouette is an attempt at returning to the image of Heisei era Ultras as a whole. In addition, the theme of the series is "future", as Decker focuses on what lies ahead in contrast of Trigger's themes of ancient era.[11] Ultraman Decker is considered as the tenth entry to the New Generation Hero (ニュージェネレーションヒーロー Nyū Jenerēshon Hīrō?) series lineup that was introduced since Ultraman Ginga. In addition, the series' charm is to "make new ones", hence the show will be expected to introduce more new monsters in its run.[12]

According to Hiroki Matsumoto, filming of Ultraman Decker started in December 2021.[13][14]

Episodes

At the end of each episode, a minisode called Kanata's Ultra Dimension Navi (カナタのウルトラディメンションナビ Kanata no Urutora Dimenshon Nabi?) aired and featuring Kanata Asumi describing the Dimension Cards of said episode. HANE2 joined Kanata starting from episode 2 onwards.
