History Series / UltramanMebius

* ChekhovsBoomerang / ContinuityNod: Mebius is revived in one episode when Konomi deploys [[spoiler:the Magnerium Medicalizer, the same weapon the Ultra Garrison used to revive Ultra Seven when he was crucified.]]

** The manner in which Alien Serpent fuses with Sayura Hinode is a shot-for-shot recreation of how Ultraman Jack merged with Hideki Go in ''Return of Ultraman's'' first episode.

* MythologyGag: In one flashback scene, Toriyama is seen playing with an Series/UltramanNexus finger puppet.
* OhCrap: Lots of times. Yapool, Mefilas, Imperizers and Alien Empera all elicit this response at least once. Emperor takes the cake, as the merest act of landing on earth elicits this (and a whole bunch of explosions).

** And a literal version in the episode of the final arc that showcases ''Series/UltramanEighty'' as the cast of children are reunited for the first time since the end of the series to give closure to the unfinished plotline of 80's/Yamato's identity reveal and his role as the children's teacher.

** Later, during the Grand Finale, [[spoiler:Ryu and Mirai bite the bullet fighting Empera, luckily they get better. Zamsha also dies shielding GUYS from Empera's attack, but doesn't gets better himself]].

* TakeUpMySword: Before Hikari was PutOnABus, he gave his [[TransformationTrinket Knight Brace]] to Mebius, allowing Mebius to enter [[SuperMode Brave Mode]]. [[spoiler:In battle against Emperor, Ryu became Hikari's host after Serizawa passed away.]]

** Episode 29. [[spoiler:Mebius is called back home by the Father of Ultra, but he refuses. Then, one of Emperor's minions, the gigantic, virtually immortal war machine Imperizer arrives on Earth and Mebius can't defeat it alone. Taro's arrival evens the odds just barely. Finally to top it off, Mirai is forced to reveal to Ryu that he is Ultraman Mebius!]]

-->'''[[spoiler:Mephilas]]:''' [[spoiler:Emperor!]] Have I become a useless piece in this game? Alas! (''[[StuffBlowingUp explodes]]'')

** The Five Ultra Pledges from the final episode of ''Series/ReturnOfUltraman'' are re-recited in numerous episodes. It's also implied Captain Serizawa, who taught them to Ryu, learned them as a childhood friend of Jiro Sakata, who recited them originally.

** Remember Alien Mates from Return of Ultraman, unfairly killed by humans? His son is back and is seeking vengeance...
** When Nova reappears, his existence is categorized as Out-of-Document; makes sense, since in [[Series/UltramanLeo Ultraman Leo]] Nova debuts after MAC has been wiped out.
** Speaking of which, one of the new kaiju, Roberuga, was birthed from fragments of the destroyed Black Star in the final episode of Ultraman Leo.

** Before Kako shuts them down and convince them to use their powers for good, the Alien Psychokinos discuss [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman escalating the war between Planets Mystera and Atelier, or causing an avalanche on Varduck]]. Notably, the latter retcons the planet's apparent destruction in its only prior appearance.

* TheBusCameBack: Even ''more'' monsters and aliens as well as Ultras from previous entries in the franchise's main universe make a grand return in this show. And this also extends to certain minor and secondary characters. Yamato's entire class from ''Series/UltramanEighty'' pops up here, having grown up since we last saw them.

* {{Homage}}: LOTS. Tsuburaya Pro had several shows and years to go through; it might be faster to list what wasn't referenced.

** Konomi encourages Miclas into fighting by recreating [[Series/Ultraseven Dan Moroboshi's]] transformation sequence, complete with a "Dyuwah!".

* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:Around the halfway point, Mirai reveals his true identity to GUYS and they agree to keep it a secret from the ublic.]]

* CrossCompanyReferences: The shot of Mebius entering the GUYS computer to fight Maquette Zetton recreates the manner through which [[Series/DenkouChoujinGridman Gridman]] enters the virtual world.

** Maquette Ultraman Mebius' defeat at the hands of Maquette Zetton mirrors the original Zetton defeating Ultraman in [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Ultraman's final episode]].

** Kodaigon from Return of Ultraman is reborn from cells of Alien Grotes, harvested from the VERY SAME lake where the alien and kaiju were defeated 35 year prior...

** The Five Ultra Pledges from the final episode of [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Ultraman Jack]] was re-recited in the first episode.

* MythologyGag: It's hard to go an episode without one, be it a returning monster or something else.

* GrandFinale: As a whole, ''Mebius'' was the final ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' to be produced by Creator/TsuburayaProductions before it was purchased by Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment, ending over 40 years of independent series production. As such, it wraps up a lot of the unfinished Showa plotlines directly and indirectly.

* BreakingTheFourthWall
** Maru has a habit of speaking directly to the camera, which often gets lampshaded.
--> '''Maru:''' ''(Turning to the camera)'' "Is [Misaki] meeting the chief inspector after this?"
--> '''Misaki:''' "What was that?"
--> '''Maru:''' "It's nothing. Please proceed."
* ButtMonkey:
** Adjutant Toriyama. Maru is also one to a lesser extent.

* RankScalesWithAsskicking: Father of Ultra comes to Earth to help Mebius after he's turned to a gold statue by Jashrin. Jashrin doesn't fair well. At all. The only reason Mebius was the one to finish the fight was because the Father wanted him to. Also, [[spoiler:you know how powerful Alien Empera is? The Father ''fought him to a draw'' in ancient times. ''By himself'']].

* UltimateEvil: [[spoiler:Alien Empera acts as this for most of the series, only being spoken of by his minions and spoken of with a sense of dread and fear. However, he does show up in the final arc personally to destroy Earth and Mebius himself.]]
