Ultraman Neos is a Japanese tokusatsu show, being the 15th show in the Ultra Series produced by Tsuburaya Productions. Ultraman Neos was initially intended as a TV series but the project was shelved. Years later, Tsuburaya turned the concept into a 12-episode direct-to-video series. In spite of the appearance of similar designs and a cameo by Zoffy, the series is set in an alternate universe.

Toku premiered the series in the United States on May, 1, 2017.

Plot

Ultraman Neos

Ultraman Neos on TOKU

In the first decade of the 21st Century on Earth, the rising of the population results in low quality of life, as well the increasing number of ESP incidents and alien invasions. At Nebula M78, the information service of the Space Defense Force watches these phenomena and throughout the Space Security Service, a ramification of the group sent a warrior to Earth named Ultraman Neos and his commander Ultraseven 21 . Upon arriving on Earth, Ultraman Neos secretly merges with Genki Kagura to help HEART (Hi-tech Earth Alert and Rescue Team) fight monsters both of terrestrial and extraterrestrial origin.

The general of the troop, even knowing the uncommon situation in the area, found it inadequate to take the veteran Seven 21 of his rank and asked for support of the Warrior Command Group of the Ultra War Unit. The organization selected a young warrior of the elite troop, Ultraman Neos, with Ultraseven 21 giving him support when necessary.
