The Concept History of the Plasma Spark
Sorry to disappoint those who cannot read, but this is not a history of the Plasma Spark in-canon. Instead I'm talking about the concept of the Plasma Spark in the real world history of the franchise as I can surmise thus far. As this is clearly based on my ow experience thus far with the Ultra series and frankly....I'm no historian...if you see something incorrect or know something I don't tell me in the comments for everyone else to see.
As far as I know the earliest mention of what we would come to understand as the Plasma Spark was the 1970's manga by Mamoru Uchiyama, that would be translated to English in 1995 as 'Battle of the Ultra Brothers.' In the translated version the device is described as/called the Plasma Nuclear Fusion System…
How Good Ultras go Bad
Sol here, for probably the first Blog of this year of our Lord, 2021. Right now I'm going to be talking about something that's been on my mind for a while, why certain Ultras fell to darkness. Despite not falling to evil, I'll also be talking about Zero, since his original arc mirrored Belial's fall in a way.
Now I ask for patience as I attempt to play Psychologist, with fictional characters. Also, everything below is more or less theory unless Tsuburaya decides to come and say everything is corrrect. That said, i've noticed a theme among fallen Ultras as to why they turned to darkness, Self Worth.

Kaiju and Youkai
I was originally going to do this for Christmas but decided to push it back a few days. I didn't forget it I swear.
In this blog I want to talk about the cultural, religious inspirations for Kaiju., specifically Ultra Kaiju. See there are things I've noticed from the Ultra Series, and maybe a lot of what comes next is nonsense from someone who loves theories, but I've noticed it all the same.
If you've read my last Blog about Tiga, you will know that Kaiju are, for the most part, creature associated with the theme of darkness, in opposition to the umbrella theme of Ultraman's 'Light', or 'Bright Future'. Yet I feel it's a bit more than that. To make sense, I have to ask, what do you know about Youkai?

The Theme of Ultraman, or Why Tiga is the Most Important Modern Ultra
Note, before I get any haters...when I say Tiga is the most important modern Ultra, I do not mean he is the strongest, or that other Ultras don't matter. Take you fanboyism and...go away. For you sane folk let's begin.
Here's a question you don't need to answer, what is the overall theme of Ultraman? No, not theme song, I got hit by that joke alteady. No theme, like good vs evil, sacrifice, responsbility. Don't say light versus darkness because red versus blue is an almost as common theme in the series that dates back to the first episode of Ultraman.
I asked this question and the answers I got were:
- stronger together
- not judging those who are different
- trying to find peaceful solutions unless there are not other options.
- Hope
These are all wrong…
Ultraman Z or Ultraman Zett: A Community Poll
Greetings Ultra Fan, and general users of the community. I'm making this post today to deal with a problem. In the upper echelons of the Wiki's community and management, there is an impasse. We have found ourselves at each other's throat over this topic, and I've since decided that it's best, if the entire community chooses, since we cannot break this stalemate ourselves. The question is thus: should we name the character page Ultraman Z or Ultraman Zett?
The basis of this debate is a debate of intent, what did the writers, the creators actually intend as the pronunciation and spelling of the character's name. For this reason the divide has resulted in two camps; Z or Zett.
