Ultraman Tiga

What's coming up for MIFV? The next chapter of the Ultra Journey is one of my favorite Ultra films.

Ultraman Tiga, The Final Odyssey.

Joining me for that will be the YouTuber Zimzilla in his first appearance, I might add, and or longtime friend of the podcast and newly published author, as I mentioned, Daniel Damana of the Godzilla Novelization Project.

Then the Ultra Journey and Godzilla Redux do a fusion dance.

Our theme song is Wanderer on the Offensive, live vetted by...

Our music includes Ultraman Rap, Artist Unknown, and Chant My Name, a cover by Second Archive of the song by Masaaki Endo, with additional tracks from the 4Kids dub of Ultraman Tiga.

Who is Ultraman Tiga?

That is correct.

He's on the board.

Wait, here's our last clue for the round.

The Ultra Journey for 500.

This prolific Ultra series screenwriter wrote many of the franchise's films in the '90s and 2000s, including Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssey.

Jake.

And...

And works mostly kind of in horror and anime, including Serial Experiments Lane and Ultraman Tiga and Parasite Eve.

And even though this is a work-for-hire type project, and maybe that was the reason that Kurosawa could make it in the first place, maybe he felt some sort of responsibility to continue the series because of his connection to the director's company.

It also really does kind of fit into some of his psychological interests that we see in later movies.
