Ultraman Dyna: The Return of Hanejiro (ウルトラマンダイナ帰ってきたハネジロー Urutoraman Daina Kaettekita Hanejirō), also known as Ultraman Dyna: Hanejiro Came Back, is a 2001 direct-to-video special set during the events of Ultraman Dyna.

Plot

Hanejiro returned to Earth in the form of an yellow egg, which fell into the hands of the bumbling Alien Mijir Trio. The three, despite being villains, were very protective of him and protected him from prying eyes until Hanejiro returned to Super GUTS. After Dyna was defeated by Wanzetto, Hanejiro helped to destroy the menace by dropping Pudgy Garaon into the monster's brain case. Hanejiro was later taken away once again by the Alien Fabiras (off-screen).
