Trivia[]

  • This manga was releasing at the same time and in the same magazine as Ultraman THE FIRST, but the two are unrelated, despite their similar names.
  • In the last chapter, silhouettes of Dark Faust, Dark Mephisto and Dark Zagi are seen as Beast the One is defeated, and the manga concludes with a description of the events that lead into Ultraman Nexus, as Jun Himeya walks away from the crowd with a silhouette of the titular Ultra behind him.
  • The tankōbon includes art by other manga artists celebrating its release, those being Ryoichi Koga, Oyster, Tokyo Robin and Zenichi Hirayama. Hirayama drew a silhouetted Dark Zagi.
