History Series / UltramanGeed

* ProductPlacement: Aside from from UsefulNotes/Playstation4 appears in episode 11, the next episode has Riku and Sui Asakura playing ''{{VideoGame/Tekken}} 7''.

Riku soon finds out the monsters are targeting humans who carry "Little Stars" within their bodies, granting them supernatural powers. With the aid of [[{{Ronin}} mysterious swordswoman]] Raiha Toba; his best friend [[InnocentAliens Pega]]; [[MenInBlack Woman In Black]] (and childhood friend) Moa Aizaki; and Reito Igaguri, an [[{{Salaryman}} ordinary office worker]] who becomes the new host of Ultraman Zero, Riku fights to defend the peace of Earth while figuring out just what it means to be an Ultraman.

* RealityEnsues: [[spoiler:Belial rips out Kei's Inversion Organ that's the source of his powers. He's mortally wounded and only has days to live rather than just being BroughtDownToNormal, as having a vital organ torn out of your body is typically not a survivable experience.]]

** Episode 23 from Arie: [[spoiler:"Did you really think you can beat my son?" right during TheReveal that Belial had been possessing Arie all along]].

* {{MacGuffin}}: The [[GratuitousEnglish Little Stars]], the power source of the Ultra Capsules, initially only found in the bodies of children. As long as the Little Star is inside a host, it will give their host a power that their respective Ultra once used.

''Ultraman Geed'' is an 2017 {{toku}}satsu series created by Creator/TsuburayaProductions, and the 29th entry in the ''Franchise/UltraSeries''. It is currently being simulcast by Website/{{Crunchyroll}}.

** Episode 17: [[spoiler:Belial arrives on Earth and starts wreaking havoc on Earth by killing an Alien Godola. After that, he unleashes a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown towards his own son. If it's not enough, he transforms into Chimeraberos and devours Geed whole]].

* BaitAndSwitch: One that took about seven episodes: In episode 12, Sui mentioned that he knew what Riku hide under his bed thanks to the Little Star power. The audience's Wild Mass Guessing is PornStash at first, until episode 19 reveals that Riku was just keeping a Donshine magazine about a princess named REM, who is no less his AI's namesake.

Long ago, a lone Ultraman succumbed to temptation and attempted to steal power from the sun-like Plasma Spark, putting the very existence of all Ultramen in peril. He was exiled from the Land of Light and [[TheCorruption corrupted by evil forces]], becoming the FallenHero Ultraman Belial. Throughout history, Belial has arisen time and time again to threaten the peace of the universe, most notably clashing with the heroic Franchise/UltramanZero.

** Episode 11. [[spoiler:Kei reveals to Riku is not Belial's biological son, but rather a ''synthetic'' son. Kei also tells Riku that his purpose is to collect Ultra Capsules for his father]].
** Episode 17: [[spoiler:Belial arrives on Earth and starts wreaking havoc on Earth by killing an Alien Godola. After that, he unleashes a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown towards his own son. If it doesn't enough, he transforms into Chimeraberos and devours Geed as whole]].

** Ultraman Zero Beyond delivering rapid combos (punches in series and kicks in magazine scans) is not unlike those of Tomoyo Sakagami from ''{{VisualNovel/Clannad}}''.

* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler:Geed appears in TheStinger of the final episode of ''Series/UltramanOrb'''s miniseries spin-off ''Ultra Fight Orb'' by finishing off Reibatos with his [[FinishingMove Wrecking Burst]]]].

** Arguably to ''Series/UltramanLeo'', due to a crippled Ultraseven-based Ultra being TheMentor to the titular hero, as well as a DownerBeginning (coincidentally, the crippled Ultra in ''Geed'' is the son of Ultraseven, who was Leo's mentor). Somewhat lampshaded in-series by Geed's Solid Burning form, which uses assets of both Leo and Seven.

** Also one to ''Series/UltramanDyna'', due to having a larger emphasis on outer space, as well as directly following the previous series (''Series/UltramanTiga'' for ''Dyna'', ''Series/UltramanOrb'' for ''Geed'') in some form (''Dyna'' being a direct sequel to ''Tiga'', ''Geed'' expanding upon the [[AllYourPowersCombined power fusing]] introduced in ''Orb''). Doesn't hurt that 1) Dyna as well follows up Tiga's Type Change gimmick, not unlike how Geed did so to Orb and 2) Geed's series debuted in the 20th MilestoneCelebration of Dyna's 20th anniversary.
