Five thousand years ago, an ancient red-and-blue warrior of light (known by the audience as Ultraman Tiga) defended a village against a giant, golem-like monster, but disappeared after that, where the Ultra is worshiped by superstitious locals as a guardian protector. In the present time of 2038, Super GUTS pilot Tsubasa Madoka (son of Daigo and Reina Madoka from Series/UltramanTiga) pursues the monster Jomonoid, before suddenly getting dragged into a wormhole into the past. Upon his arrival, Tsubasa realized he's stuck a few centuries from the present, specifically, in the same village that Ultraman Tiga once guarded, and there are evil forces who wants to prevent the re-awakening of Ultraman Tiga while re-summoning monsters of the past...

Five thousand years ago, an ancient red-and-blue warrior of light (known by the audience as Ultraman Tiga) defended a village against a giant, golem-like monster, but disappeared after that, where the Ultra is worshiped by superstitious locals as a guardian protector. In the present time of 2038, Super GUTS pilot Tsubasa Madoka (son of Daigo and Reina Madoka from Series/UltramanTiga) pursues the monster Jomonoid, before suddenly getting dragged into a wormhole into the past.

!!''Ultraman Tiga Gaiden: Revival Of The Ancient Giant (2001'' provides the following tropes.

* ContinuityNod:
** The golden pyramid that houses Ultraman Tiga and his companions shows up, in the same way as it did in the first episode of Tiga’s series.
** Madoka is a member of Super GUTS, the same Earth Defense Force that replaces GUTS which Shin Asuka (a.k.a Series/UltramanDyna) was a member of.
* HenshinHero: Tsubasa Madoka and [[spoiler: Amui]].
* IdenticalStranger: Tsubasa remarks that Mahoroba looks just like his elder sister, Hikari Madoka. [[spoiler: May be justified, since [[IdenticalGrandson Mahoroba is related to Tsubasa’s ancestors]], and he could very well be her great-great-grandchild at some point in the future. Tsubasa even shows her a picture of him taken with his sister, where the audience can tell Hikari and Mahoroba are actually portrayed by the same actress]].
* JumpedAtTheCall: Tsubasa, who wastes no time grabbing the Spark Lens after recognizing it’s the very same device his father used to transform into Ultraman Tiga decades ago.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Mahoroba’s preferred weapon.
*LegendFadesToMyth: [[spoiler: At the end of the film with Jomonoid and Dogouf vanquished, Tsubasa notes that the deeds of Ultraman Tiga will become the stuff of myths in the future]].
* OurWormholesAreDifferent: The one that drags Tsubasa and Jomonoid into early in the film has TimeTravel abilities sending both of them centuries into the past.
* OutOfGenreExperience: Yes, this is an entry in the Ultraman franchise, but for the most part its more of a DarkFantasy-epic adventure which have more similarities to Film/TheGreatYokaiWar than Ultraman, and the Ultraman vs kaiju action takes up only a small portion of the runtime.
* ShoutOut: To the legend of {{Orochi}}. Maharoba slays a dragon-like kaiju at her debut appearance, and unveils an ancient {{BFS}} embedded in the monster’s body. [[spoiler: That same weapon ends up being crucial in assisting Ultraman Tiga to defeat Dogouf in the climax]].
* SpinOffspring: The protagonist of this special is Tsubasa Madoka, the son of Daigo and Reina Madoka from the [[Series/UltramanTiga series]].
* SpoilerCover: The fact that [[spoiler: Amui would wield the Bronze Spark Lens and transform into Ultraman Tiga]] in the end would be a nice reveal… if the DVD and official poster (pictured above) didn’t directly show the boy doing exactly that!
* SwirlyEnergyThingy: The wormhole that drags Tsubasa – and Jomonoid – into the past resembles this.
* TimeTravelEpisode
* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: Tsubasa’s present time which he was from before entering the time warp, is 2038 (the film is released in 2001).
