INTO THE STORY: Ultraman Trigger -The Ultra-Ancient Treasure- is an interactive livestream attraction consisting of three episodes. The episodes are comprised of live segments where viewers can speak to the characters live through a chat window, as well as pre-recorded segments. At certain points, viewers can vote on two options that affect how the story unfolds, with the most popular choice being the one that plays out.
The livestreams were first held in December 2021 and January 2022, but were held again in April 2022 due to their popularity.[1] In the April performances, some of the decisions were changed, each episode featured a guest in the chat and, at the end of each episode, the guest from the following episode joined the livestream. The intro was also expanded, now stating that the energy emitted from the battle in Ultraman Trigger: Episode Z caused a spacetime distortion allowing the Giants of Darkness to return.
Subscribers of TSUBURAYA IMAGINATION had a 500 yen discount for tickets.[2][3] A ticket for all three episodes was offered for the April performances.[2] IMAGINATION users who viewed all three episodes also gained access to an exclusive special ending video.[3] The video starts with a short segment where the three protagonists thank the audience, followed by an interview with Raiga Terasaka, which was replaced by a new interview with Raiga, Takaya Aoyagi and Kohshu Hirano for the April performances version.
On January 3, 2023, a live stage version of the event was held at Ultra Heroes EXPO 2023 New Year Festival. The three main cast members reprised their roles and the story was simplified. Guests voted on decisions by waving either a red or blue glow stick.
