Trivia[]
The script cover titled "The U Guard Goes West"
- The final draft of this episode was originally titled "The U Guard Goes West ", but it was later changed to its current title.[1]
- In this episode, there were two scripts, with the unreleased version featuring a more active role for Marvin in Part 2. He described retaliation actions from the Alien Pedan, interference with meetings, and strategies for attacking enemy weaknesses. In this version, Marvin also disregarded Tsuchida's order to disarm and continued closely developing the Ryton R30.
- In the initial draft, Ultraseven and Tsuchida were able to communicate directly in Japanese. However, in the final version, Ultraseven does not engage in verbal conversations directly. Instead, he perceives the intentions of the UG and collaborates with them to destroy King Joe. Since then, there have been no scenes of Ultraseven directly using Japanese to communicate with humans.[2]
- This episode has a sequel episode in the series Ultraseven: The Final Chapters, called "The Duplicated Man".
- This episode, along with the previous one, was featured in Ultraman Retsuden episode 56 "Defeat King Joe! Westward, Ultra Guard!!".
- In 2023, in commemoration of the 55th anniversary of the Ultraseven series and to attract a broader audience to appreciate the charm of this classic series, TSUBURAYA IMAGINATION selected this episode and created a trailer named the "55th Anniversary Edition." The narration for this trailer was provided by Hiroki Tochi.[3]
