** While Ultraman 80, being a FadSuper, had touched on various problems associated with teenagers at the time of the show's release, there was a scripted episode which deals with ''suicide''. Said episode was canned because it's too dark, which is probably a good thing.

Added DiffLines:

* RecycledScript: A few scripts from ''Series/UltramanAce'' were recycled for this show.
** Zruzular the elephant monster and Baktari the tapir choju have quite a few similarities. Both of them used to be peaceful zoo animals who ends up going on a rampage after turning into a monster, and the episode ends with the Ultramen of their respective series cleansing them of Yapool's curse / Minus Energy instead of killing them.
** The BaseballEpisode, "The Evil Glove is Laughing at You!" contains quite a bit of similarities to "Life-Sucking Sound", where the episode revolves around a child who's sucking badly at his hobby (baseball for ''80'', violin in ''Ace'') and angrily getting rid of his baseball glove / violin after an argument with his mother. The child's residual anger subsequently leads to Minus Energy / Yapool infecting the object in question, turning it to the baseball glove monster Glovusk / violin monster Geegon. Both episodes ends with the Ultra reverting the monsters back into objects, as well as AnAesop to try, try again and never give up.

The reason for this is because Tsuburaya as of yet has not given these shows an HD remastering so Mill Creek Entertainment found no reason to given them a Blue-ray release.
