Hayata is dead! All of you guys need to notice that, after 100s of years, Hayata should be dead already. We need to consider the Ultraman Factor, does it increase longetivity for humans? We know it is the point for Ultras, but how about humans? And we don't even know if the Ultraman Factor is canon in the main/Showa Universe or not!

A theory is that Ultraman is honoring Hayata by taking on his form, just like Ultraseven and Ultraman Mebius.
