Talk:Ultraman Jack/@comment-30947684-20170201143402/@comment-1733689-20170209183541

Well in a meta-sense he kind of was, as he was meant to be the original with a redesigned look (not sure why they wanted to redesign him though), but TsuPro decided not to go in that direction in honor of the recently late Eiji Tsuburaya, so Ultraman Jack, who was known for over a decade as New Ultraman, just became a new character even though he was never meant to be, but that doesn't seem to matter as Return of Ultraman was quite the awesome show in its day, so much so that fans were angered when TsuPro renamed New Ultraman to Jack because that's how much they loved the show growing up and didn't want it changed.
