• Word of God:
  • Kiyotaka Taniguchi confirmed in an interview that he declined to make a celebration series of Ultraman Gaia like the preceding Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga (celebrating Ultraman Tiga) and Ultraman Decker (celebrating Ultraman Dyna) because he didn't feel the current budget per series would allow him to create a product that would do justice to its inspiration series, which he views as one of the most well-done series ever of the Ultra Series franchise.
  • Kengo Kosuni, who designed Bazanga and Taganular, stated that the latter's ability to switch between a "funny" and "grotesque" face was meant as a homage to the Makai Beasts of Space Sheriff Sharivan.
