Synopsis
Promotional poster
The show is about Mebius, a rookie warrior, who is sent to Earth by Father of Ultra. There are many tributes to past shows: it is a continuation of the Showa Era's, picking up twenty five years after Ultraman 80
In the opening, all the members of Crew GUYS are killed except Ryu Aihara, by the space monster Dinozaur. Mebius, in his human form as Mirai Hibino, transforms to fight, after helping several people rescue bunny rabbits. He later recruits them to help Ryuu, and ultimately they join GUYS, setting the stage for the rest of the show.

Trivia
- Despite taking place 25 years after the events of Ultraman 80, series producer Hiroyasu Shibuya has admitted however that there are "ambiguous" parts in the series that contradicted such claim.
