Trivia[]

  • Glenfire is based on one of Tsuburaya Productions kyodai heroes from the 70's, Fireman.
  • The attack Fire Stick is a nod to Fireman, as the device that transformed Daisuke Misaki into the titular hero shares the same name.
  • Glenfire's Glen Driver was most likely inspired by WWE's The Undertaker's Tombstone Piledriver. Both moves turns their opponents upside down and slam them on the ground.
  • A running gag in the Ultraman Series is to have Glenfire nickname Jean-Bot as 'Yakitori', as a reference to his Jean-Bird form.
  • Glenfire's voice and traits are almost similar to Momotaros from Kamen Rider Den-O, even to the point that certain fans mistook them for having the same voice actors. Yet, this mirrors the real life situation of Glenfire's voice actor, Tomokazu Seki, who is frequently mistaken for Toshihiko Seki and vice versa.
  • When Glenfire comes to help at the end of Ultraman Zero The Movie, the sequence is similar to Fireman's transformation scene.
