Trivia
Mother of Ultra's first appearance
- In her appearances against the Sun, the suit used was modified from Triple Fighter, with Ultraman's mask added on, hence its bizarre and off-looking appearance compared to her normal suit.
- Mother of Ultra's human form, The Lady in Green, was portrayed by Peggy Hayama, who was also the voice actress for her in the series Ultraman Taro.
- Because Mother of Ultra's suit actor in Ultraman Taro was a man, Tsuburaya did not credit the actor, fearing that the information would "break the children's dreams". Since Taro, all of Mother of Ultra's suit actors have been female.
- Like her son, Mother of Ultra usually shouts her attack before using it (in the Ultraman Taro series only).
- In Ultraman Mebius: Anderes Horizont novel, it was the Mother of Ultra that saved Dan Moroboshi from Silverbloome when MAC was destroyed. Originally Zoffy was planned to be the one who would save Dan.
- In the extra episode of Clannad After Story, the Mother of Ultra was referenced by Nagisa.
