Ultra Fight Victory (ウルトラファイトビクトリー Urutora Faito Bikutorī) is a short story series which premièred as part of the New Ultraman Retsuden block on March 31st, 2015, succeeding Ultra Zero Fight. Koichi Sakamoto directed the series. Several scenes from the whole series harkens back to the Ultraman Ace, Ultraman Story, and Andro Melos, purposely due to Yapool and Juda's involvement.
On April 8, 2015, Tsuburaya's official YouTube Site uploaded the episodes with English subtitles. A month after the whole series ended, Tsuburaya changed the privacy settings on these videos, allowing only registered YouTube accounts to watch, and eventually removed them entirely. In promotion to the crossover of Ultraman Ginga S and Ultraman X, it was released again as a full video (all openings and endings omitted), although it was limited until October 24, 2015.
An English dub of the series provided by William Winckler Productions was released in parts on Tsuburaya Productions' official YouTube channel.
