History Series / UltramanBlazar

* BigBad: [[spoiler: Varallon, the strongest [=V99=] invader who is the reason why the kaiju are appearing throughout the world and who threatens to terraform Earth into a planet suitable for him and other invaders.]]

* BackToBaseForm: In order to persuade the approaching V99 armada that Earth isn't a threat, Earth Garon and Blazar discard all of their upgrades, forcing them to wrap up the fight against Varallon with their original abilities.

* GenreThrowback: ''Blazar'' deliberately abandons several of the traditions of the New Generation-era Ultraman shows (many of which are described in BreakingOldTrends above) and hews closer to the older entries.

** As a direct result of no form changes freeing up the show's budget, ''Blazar'' is the first series in some time to feature more new kaiju than old ones. The last few series introduced around three new kaiju each; while ''Blazar'' had seven by its halfway point.

* BigBad: [[spoiler: Valaron, who is the reason why the kaiju are appearing throughout the world.]]

* BigBad: Valaron, who is the reason why the kaiju are appearing throughout the world.

* BigBad: Valaron.

%%* BigBad: Valaron.

* LowerDeckEpisode: Episode 22 only features the [=SKaRD=] team in two scenes outside of the monster battle, with most of the plot focused on a struggling middle-aged insurance salesman befriending an elderly widow and trying to save her from dying.

* {{Deconstruction}}: This show deconstructs the usual formula of the defense team failing to defeat the MonsterOfTheWeek and Ultraman appearing to save the day since this series puts into question if the defense team is actually needed if an unaffiliated alien does their job for them. This is especially not helped by the fact that [=SKaRD=] does not have a single kaiju kill on their own with the director even stating that they could potentially disbanded if they don't give the results the higher-ups want.
** Reconstructed in episode 19 [[spoiler:where [=SKaRD=] averts the risk of disbandment with the suspension of the director. Although [=SKaRD=] failed at neutralizing Brood Gebalga and was on the verge of getting axed, they did prove themselves valuable(if unwittingly and unwillingly) by giving away a diary containing valuable information about V99 to former GGF director Dobashi. Said former director revealed director Retsu was suspended instead to "maintain appearances".]]

* Episode 15 is ''full'' of references to characters, plot points and even visual shots from [[Recap/UltramanEp15TheTerrifyingCosmicRays Episode 15]] of ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'', with both episodes featuring children's drawings giving birth the peaceful kaiju Gavadon.

* PlanetOfHats: Discussed in episode 13 with Yasunobu finding it strange if Bazanga and Gebalga truly did come from the same planet due to how different their ecologies are, only for Emi to point out that it's no different from how animals from how Earth work through using lions and dolphins as examples

* BreatherEpisode: Episode 13, ''[=SKaRD=] Nocturne'', combines this with ClipShow, intertwining footage from previous episodes with the [=SKaRD=] crew talking about a myriad of subjects, from their personal lives to pondering Blazar's origins. [[spoiler:That being said, the episode also teases a bigger mystery by pondering the correlation between space kaiju such as Bazanga and Gebalga and an asteroid blown up by the GGF in 1999.]]

It will also be simultaneously broadcast[[note]]one week after its broadcast in Japan[[/note]] in seven major Asian regions (mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and India) and dubbed in the local languages.

** Gento's transformation is streamlined, as he doesn't shout Blazar's name or do any sort of other {{Invocation}} that most other New Generation Ultras did.[[note]]like "[[Series/UltramanGeed You go! I go! Here we go! Geeeeeeed!]]" or "[[Series/UltramanTaiga Hero of light, Taiga! Buddyyyy, go!]]"[[/note]] There similarly aren't any scenes showing his POV "inside" Blazar (apart from the occasional instances where he's shown using Blazar Stones).
** Blazar is also the first Ultraman in years to not have any form changes. The related budget was instead directed towards designing more new kaiju than in recent seasons as opposed to primarily bringing out old ones again.

* BrickJoke: Teruaki’s tomato bag comes back in the latter half when it bounces around the [=SKaRD=] van while being held and shaken by Earth Garon.
