The Things I Like About Ultraman 80

Still on the occasion of Ultraman 80's 44th anniversary, here are the things I like about the series.

1. 80s fighting style - quick, agile, and acrobatic.

2. 80 was never defeated in his own series. There were a couple of times he almost lost, most notably in the penultimate episode where he fought the two brother kaijus Plazma and Minazma.

His "defeat" by mother-and-child Zandrias doesn't count. He pretended to lose so that the son would be convinced to go home with his mother. So to those who think that 80 is a weak Ultraman should think otherwise (I defended 80 on TikTok against some comments who said he is the weakest Ultraman 😭)

3. As 80 was undefeated or didn't die, he was never crucified, impaled, or turned into a metal or stone.

Unlike other Ultras, 80 needed help only once, and it's from the Father of Ultra.

4. The coolest and most realistic-looking fighter jets for me - the Sky Higher, the Silver Gull, and the Space Mammy - they don't look like toys. Even the base, the hangar, the runway, with the control towers and all that, they also look realistic, even 44 years after. It's even better than the CG effects today. It makes you think that UGM was a real organization!

5. The coolest Ultraman henshin for me - Yamato throwing his fists before raising his Bright Stick and shouting, "80!".

6. The coolest opening and end themes (at least the first ones).

7. My most favorite "wandaba", even though it is pretty similar to TAC wandaba.

8. The school setting in the first few episodes, and the Ultraman being a teacher. That setting was discontinued, unfortunately, due to several reasons. The series should have stuck its guns. Even so, there were still the presence of kids throughout the series.

Unlike other Ultraman human hosts who are usually cool, suave, etc. that befits the hero type, Takeshi Yamato is often clumsy and absent-minded. And oh, he often runs late for class 😂 But that makes him very charming and relatable.

9. First female Ultra other than the Mother of Ultra: Yullian.

10. UGM finally managed to defeat a kaiju on their own without 80's involvement.

11. The most handsome captain (other than Captain Dan Moroboshi), Captain Ooyama. 😍

12. I realized that Ultraman 80 series has the most beautiful women, whether they were cast regulars/semi-regulars or guest actresses.

13. 80 fought Ultraseven... Delusion Ultraseven that is 😂

14. The most beautiful soundtrack of all the Ultraman soundtracks I've listened to. Even though composer Toru Fuyuki did great music for the previous Ultraman series, he outdid himself this time in Ultraman 80.

15. The series has many of the coolest- and most badass-looking kaijus from the Showa era - Crescent, Argon, Noiseler, Guwaganda, Fire-Draco, Plazma and Minazma, Margodon, etc. Only Hoe and Jihibikiran look funny to me, tho. Hoe reappeared in Ultraman Mebius.

17. Probably influenced by women's lib at the time, 80 is the first Ultraman series to empower girls and women, making it the most progressive compared to the other Showa-era Ultraman series.

If you think I missed something or if there are errors, let me know! ☺️

Dan Seagal? 😄

I'm sorry for my crazy-ass edit. 😅

Is it only me or the older Kohji Moritsugu is even hotter than ever? Really a dandy. 😍

I love the way he and Ultraseven sit like real bosses... Oh yeah, they really are. 😎

Black beret or white beret? 🖤🤍

Dan Moroboshi or Dan Choshichi?

When Kohji Moritsugu parodies his Ultraseven role in "Mighty Jack"... (Eh, he has parodied it a few times) 🤣

The UG combat suits may look dull and gray, but... butt... I like them so much 😁

Go-san!!!! 😍

Still my favorite Ultraman and Ultraman series.

Jirō Dan (1949 - 2023) was a Japanese actor, model, and singer best known for his portrayal of Hideki Go / Ultraman Jack in "Return of Ultraman" TV series (1971 - 1972). His birth name was Hideo Murata.

Strikingly handsome man, especially during his heyday. Very tall, too (he's still the tallest among the Ultraman hosts). Check out Dan-san's MG5 commercials - really classy.

Hope Go-san's soul can now rest in the Land of Light.

OMG... Shaider, my crush when I was a kid! Lucky Annie!

Too bad he died young :(

Hiroshi Tsuburaya (1964 - 2001) was a Japanese actor, the grandson of Eiji Tsuburaya (the creator of Ultraman and co-creator of Godzilla). He was known to tokusatsu audience for his starring role in "Uchuu Keiji Shaider" ("Space Sheriff Shaider"), 1984-1985.

He was my childhood crush. I still have a crush on him... Oh Shaider!

Wow!!! The world's largest museum to celebrate Albert Einstein will be built on the campus of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, which Einstein helped found a century ago.

It will house the largest collection of papers and objects related to Einstein in the world and includes his Nobel Prize and the original notes he produced while developing the general theory of relativity in 1916!
