* FriendshipHatingAntagonist: The villainous [[Characters/UltraSeriesUltramanTregear Ultraman Tregear]] has become disillusioned with all of the heroic virtues that the Ultramen preach, but he particularly despises bonds of friendship and brotherhood -- his own experiences with friendship had been painful as he never really had any, and he came to resent the OnlyFriend he did have, Series/UltramanTaro, when they drifted apart as their lives took different paths. Of course, he's the villain in a series that features a PowerTrio (led by Taro's son Taiga) instead of a lone Ultraman, and tries to pick apart Taiga's bonds with his friends and his father as much as possible (and, also of course, fails spectacularly).

!!''Ultraman Taiga'' provides examples of the following tropes:

* AlienAmongUs: According to the story description, aliens had been living secretly in the human society.
* BadassCrew: The first series in a while to actually focus on one, with the last time being ''Series/UltramanX''.
* BalanceSpeedStrengthTrio: The Three Ultramen share the same host (Hiroyuki) and form a team named Tri Squad. In respecitve order, Taiga as the Balanced, Fuma as the Speed, Titas as the Strength.

!!Recurring ''Ultra Series'' tropes



* CriticalAnnoyance: Per tradition, all three of our heroes have a Color Timer. Tregear's own Color Timer does not blink as a result of his darkness powers, however.
* HenshinHero: Not just one newcomer but ''three'' with the titular Ultraman Taiga and his TrueCompanions, Ultraman Fuma and Ultraman Titas.
* {{Kaiju}}: This time they're mostly summoned by Tregear with the use of Kaiju rings, usually possessing people or using their negative emotions to empower the beats and cause ruin.
* MultiformBalance: Played with. Instead of the title Ultraman having different forms, it's his ''host'' that has different Ultramen to choose from. Taiga is the JackOfAllStats, Titas is the MightyGlacier and Fuma is FragileSpeedster.
* TransformationTrinket: The Taiga Spark brace, which by installing an Ultra Taiga Accessory, allows Hiroyuki to transform into either Taiga, Titas and Fuma. Tregear also has one, called the Tregear Eye.

The [[Series/UltramanZ next season]] after ''Taiga'' reveals that fragmented remnants of Belial's cells are called the Devil Splinters. It's possible Mabuze is gathering Devil Splinters (which isn't mentioned yet at the time) to create these aformentioned monstrosities before Celebro did.]]
