The man who lost memory is handed over from a mysterious woman electrician an item of red eyeglasses and is begged to save this world. Although he feels frustrated as to who he is, he knows that he is an agent of DEUS, along with K, he chases the alien plotting invasion. However, it appeared there was a gigantic alien Galkimes. And the battle of his life begins with the red eyeglass type item in hand.
Yagi revealed that the development of the first episode was slow until the final draft was finalised, with screenwriter Yuji Kobayashi devoting considerable effort to it.
Unlike earlier entries aimed at children, this late-night series sought to differentiate the DEUS organisation from the traditional defence team. From the outset, their goal was to depart from the typical hero formula and instead adopt a style inspired by Western sci-fi films and TV shows.
Yagi drew inspiration from Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville and Ridley Scott's Blade Runner when crafting the show's setting. He also drew on hard-boiled detective fiction, including Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer and Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe series. In terms of the plot, Yagi aimed to capture the appeal of popular Western TV shows such as 24 and Lost. Having often wondered whether an Ultraman Series could adopt this style, he deliberately designed this project to stand apart from other Japanese tokusatsu shows.
A completely new approach was taken to depict giant monsters. The focus shifted towards realism, achieved through a blend of location shooting and CGI, so miniature models were used only sparingly.
According to a 2008 conversation between Yuji Kobayashi and Takeshi Yagi:
Yagi envisioned two images: "a man floating in water" and "a woman standing in a pure white room". These images formed the basis of a style that distinguished it from his earlier works. They also considered extending the series to two seasons.
Because the show aired late at night, Kobayashi noted that they initially decided it was acceptable to exclude monsters and aliens, allowing them to take a more unconventional narrative approach.
The antagonists of the first episode, a male named KING and a female named QUEEN, were inspired by chess, with the 'Knight' representing Jin.
At Yagi's request, Miwa, who performed as the suit actor in the 2006 film Silver Mask, was cast as Queen.
This episode aired in the United States on TOKU on June 5, 2017.
