YMMV / Ultraman X

• Catharsis Factor: Alien Nackle Bandero gets ran over by a car thanks to Rui is this as his first incarnation from Return of Ultraman killed Aki Sakata this way. Justified since the episode's director Koichi Sakamoto purposely invoke this trope.
• Complete Monster:
  • Gargorgon ("Petrification Demon Beast") is a greedy planet-killing Kaiju from across the stars. Initially, she appears to be your typical Monster of the Week, but we find out she can speak, she can think, and she is a remorseless beast. She petrified an ancient civilization on Earth, everyone on Planet Gold, forcing the last survivor,Te Ru, to escape in a giant machine named Rudian. While the actual event isn't seen, there is close up one of her victims on the ground, face frozen in agony. Upon arriving to Earth, she rampages about Tokyo, fighting and eventually petrifying Ultraman X. Her plan is to get her hands on the energy core within Rudian, kill Te Ru, petrify the entire Earth and move on to another world. Even worse, we find out her victims are still at least partially alive in an And I Must Scream state—-Ultraman X clearly remembers being turned to stone which means the other victims did as well. She displays no remorse for her genocidal actions, only greed for more power.
  • The Movie: Here Comes! Our Ultraman: Zaigorg ("Devil Beast/Enma Beast/Ruler of Hell Beast"; literally "Sin Suffering") is an ancient demon and the Satan equal of the X Universe. Emerging from Hell in ancient times, Zaigorg would bring about Hell on Earth until finally defeated and sealed away. Upon his release in modern times, Zaigorg instantly attacks the nearest group of humans in sight, including the child Yuuto, and slowly approaches a helpless woman to crush her to death. When X tries to stop him, Zaigorg beats him down and obliterates the entire area with the finishing blow while sealing Daichi's ability to become X so he can watch the rest of his rampage helpless to stop him. Arriving in the city, Zaigorg would rampage alongside clones of Antlar and Fire Golza, ending with trying to slowly collapse a building underneath the feet of the civilians trapped inside. Getting the drop on Ultraman and Tiga, Zaigorg would attempt to suck the life out of them and use their stolen energy unleash clones of Tsurugi Demaaga on five major cities around the globe with the intent to once more turn them into Hell. Zaigorg is the devil himself, and his only motivation for any of his crimes is his own sadistic pleasure.
• Creepy Awesome: Greeza is incredibly eldritch in nature and moves in a disturbing, reality-bending way, but many fans love it for the same exact reasons, particularly the Visual Effects of Awesome that accompany its warped movements in its 2nd form.
• Fan Nickname: Denkou Choujin Ultraman Xros Wars Online.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: The American DVD release of The☆Ultraman changed the name of Fake Ultraman Joneus to Ultraman X. Surely enough, we now have this series with that name.
• Memetic Mutation: See the Franchise page.
• Moment of Awesome:
  • The Final Battle with Greeza. Especially when the Hybrid Armor is created. The Unflinching Walk that X makes towards Greeza and the Wave-Motion Gun he fires are just epic.
  • The Final Battle of The Movie: X, wearing the Beta Spark Armor and in a Fusion Dance with Ultraman and Tiga, vs Zaigorg while Ultraman Zero, Ultraman Max, Ultraman Nexus, Ultraman Victory, and Ultraman Ginga battle Zaigorg's army world wide. Of particular note is Ultraman Zero entering his battle with his Ultra Zero Kick to a monster's face.
• Retroactive Recognition: Hayato is none other than Kamen Rider Snipe!
• So Okay, It's Average: Much like Ultraman Max's reception ten years before, the consensus with X having ended and led into a much more tense series is that it's a well done but standard Ultra Series entry. However, it's still considered an improvement over Ultraman Ginga.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: Greeza's warping, unstable form is portrayed quite impressively by CGI effects, which perfectly convey how wrong it is.
