What made me love Geed is how I relate to him: we both had bad fathers. And I'm a sucker for "using the powers of darkness for good" kind of thing (which is why I love Ultraman Orb Thunder Breaster and Kamen Rider overall).

The sword Leiha has is an actual sword irl and there are a bunch of Chinese sword that are very flexable

Geed was the first Ultra season i finished , and i absolutely loved it . My favorite character was Leito and his dynamic with Zero was amazing . Seriously , they need to bring this guy back !!

I freaking loved this show. It doesn't have characters I like as much as Juggler or Gai in Orb, but Geed is maybe the best modern Ultra as a full package. Side note, KZfaq is seriously lacking (in the US at least) in these video-essays about Ultraman, would love to see more.

Fun fact: The actor of Zena is also the suit actor of Ultraman Geed.

Geed imo is one of the best among the New Generation Ultras, great main protagonist, quirky cast, awesome monster design since it's the first time combining them, and my god the ending...

Actually in the new movie trailer "The Absolute Conspiracy" we can see for a few seconds belials "good" form before he got corrupted by evil and became belial but who knows it might be something else

Here ultra series I highly recommend 1. Ultraman Mebius 2. Ultraman Gaia 3. Ultraman Taiga 4. Ultraman Tiga 5. Ultraman Nexus 6. Ultraman Cosmos

Geed was pretty good, I liked Riku and the supporting cast was alright, the forms were amazing. Overall great series. Also please watch R/B

My first season was geed as well, I watched it live and re-watch it this year and I agree with you geed is great. I got so excited when he returned in Z. Wish he'd get the orb treatment tho (ultra fights, side series, etc.)

Honestly, When geed and belial had their final fight in the rain, then when Riku said that he should let go, and then belial shouted ''do not talk to me like you understand!'' And then when he shouted geed and Geed whispered ,,goodbye father'', I cried. And I am still 😭. And I am 18. What an beautiful ending. And I am crying whenever I hear May j. Infinity song. Beautiful. Am I the only one?

17:25 “Is Belial gone?” Belial: NOPE Also my thoughts on this season is that it is the best story that connects the legacy of Zero/Belial story going on and having it be used on a new story with Geed makes the story overall feel so grand. And with the events that smoothly go across each episode, it is the Ultraman series where I felt really enveloped into an superhero story. (Also tradition as an Ultra fan, plz watch Ultraman Mebius someday -3-)

Let’s be honest even tho people are getting tired of fusion ultras let’s be honest. they usually have the best storylines out of all the neo generation ultramen.

Also to answer your question about tsupro using old kaiju suits. To me.... it’s budget management being used as a way to establish a sense of grand legacy across series (mostly for showa fans). Back then in pre ginga heisei years Ultraman used to have new kaiju suits every episode and episode lineup length was much more longer. Tsupro used to spend TONS of money on their shows and it almost made em bankrupt until Bandai revived em. Also Mebius was very popular being a show that alluded back to showa stuff and suits and might have imbued the need to cameo showa age suits in modern shows.

7:48 He is mainly the suit actor for many of the new generation Ultras

Geed is by far my favorite of the New Generation Ultraman shows. what does play into that is definitely the Belial side of things since he was my favorite Ultraman villain growing up. This was also one of only 3 Ultraman seasons I watched as it was airing. The other 2 technically being Ultra Galaxy and Ginga. Both of these are only technicalities though as I had only been watching Ginga in Burts while it was airing, meaning I was just reading up on it and watching episodes whenever I felt like it, and Ultra Galaxy was back when I was a little kid and that was without subtitles. And besides I was a kid so I gave fuck all about the story. This remains the only Ultraman season I untechnically watched as the episodes were coming out during my first year of college.

You can also look at it as Belial's downfall is brought down by his own creation. It's not his longtime rival or Ultra Father or any other Ultraman. But his own plan to collect the little stars backfire on him.

I really liked it, I watched starting with orb and went to z. I personally liked geed out of all of them, amazing suits, good character development and good conflicts.

As for them bringing back monsters I’m sure them saving money helps but they do it in a respectful way that for the most part pays homage to the monsters first appearance decades ago.

Yay! Another Ultraman fan! I actually also started Ultraman with Geed. Glad you enjoyed it as well! Edit: Dang it, you beat me to the Ex-Aid reference.

Geed is my favorite Ultraman season of all times, and the experience of watching geed is very enriched by watching all the Zero and Belial movies before Geed's season, oh and my second fave season is Mebius so I highly recommend that as well

Ultraman Geed and R/B is got to be my starting point of watching Ultraman. These two Ultraman Series are so good when it comes to storyline and theme songs, suits and powers. Love them both!.

Geed was an awesome show and you did it justice reviewing it. If you want to see how Zero and Belial's beef started, Ultra Galaxy Legend is an amazing movie to do that. Tiga is a great standalone series, followed up by Dyna and Gaia. Mebius is another really well done series. If you want to watch Showa Ultraman, Return of Ultraman is very good.

Nice Vid! For recommendations, while I would love to say Cosmos, I don’t think that’s a good starter pack season. One that I would say is a good starter pack season is Tiga. It’s essentially the Kuuga of Ultraman in the sense that it’s somewhat of a reboot of the Ultra franchise and it’s pretty simple. Although it can be pretty disconnected to the other seasons.

Coincidentally ultraman Geed was my second ultra series ever. and I agree with all the positive things you said about the show which is why he is my favorite ultraman.

the bring back old monsters thingy is... kinda bout budget and story like this new series got a more cheaper budget that other tokusatsus (thats mostly why they are only 25 episodes long) but they re-use a lot of the monsters mostly cause they make to conect stuff is kinda like marvel and dc with all the different universes, but yeah they mostly made this cause of the budget

My favorite Ultra series. I say this having watched the US cartoon Scott, Beth and Chuck Utraman movie, probably the first Ultra production I ever saw (in the late 80s), then Ultraman Hayata came on local TV (Philippines) in the 1990s, then Ace. Then I recently completed the more recent ones like Taiga, Z, Trigger, and Decker, and those before Geed like Mebius, Nexus, Neos, Ultra Monster Battle, Ginga, Ginga S, X and Orb. Started but haven't finished Cosmos, Tiga, Dyna, Gaia and Max (mostly first 2 eps and such). Geed still wins out, I like his being the son of a big nasty, his not being someone who had to take a dead body for a host (though Zero filled that) and not being part of the Earth defense force. And many departures from the usual, I prefer that. Great writing. If there's a second to this series, I'd put Nexus, then Z. I'll say Cosmos might be among the ones I least like (based on first 6 eps), sort of weak in execution and I dislike his Karate Kid-like pose, lol.

Glad you enjoyed Geed! Really hope you watch Orb next because it is also a very solid season and feels like an adult story. Also,don’t forget to watch the movie of Geed because it is the actual ending of Geed that ends the story.

What about instead of an ultra potential, you do a your own ultra season. What toys you would make for the gimmick, and the monsters you would make, and what other ultras would show up.

My first ultraman season was orb and I loved it but I managed to watch geed and I really loved the story aspects of it. Belial being geeds father was just fascinating to me as I've never really seen it in tokusatu. I've only really watched rider before this but I feel I chose 2 great series to introduce me to ultraman. Tho I do feel like both where really short but I know it's a staple but still.

I also watched & finished Geed, now I'm watching Zett (live) and am almost finished with R/b which is also very good so far

*9:36* and Will Smith is an Ultraman fan so he must be so happy hearing about this

Ultraman Geed is so cool Great review Thomasjujube

I enjoyed Ultraman Geed myself, and I also liked Orb which came before. team Geed is basically family.

Geed was my second Ultraman but given that the last one was in 1992 with Ultimate Hero/Powered I consider it real first. Absolutely loved it, and it truly does stand on its own

I have actually finished all 25 episodes, and I’m now about to finish Ultraman R/B. What do you think of the second half?

Ultraman geed was the closest thing that we can get for Ultraman Zero series (excluding the chronicles one since it’s basically a recap) and i’m happy for it

8 find it funny that Geed was on Crunchyroll and Tsuburaya has such a good relationship with western releases via blu ray but Toei doesn't want to try anymore, Shout factory pretty much busted through their door

It was my first full season of Ultraman as well! (apart from SSSS/GGridman)

Finally took a chance on Ultraman myself about two weeks ago. Started with Orb and really enjoyed that, but then i watched Geed and I definitely prefer Geed over Orb

Now I just can't wait for a Taiga/Zett crossover film.

Me too. I am also a noob to the Ultraman franchise. Z was my first season. I haven’t gotten the Z riser yet.

Alright dude. Ya convinced me. I’m gonna watch Geed.

This was my second Ultra show after Ultraman Tiga. It's an enjoyable show and I had fun with it and I almost cried a couple times. But Geed is not really the best. I say it's in the middle to above expectations. To answer your question why older monsters show up is mainly because Budget but also this is a half year show now, so making new monsters might not be the best choice and it is kinda pointless since you have a big library or said monsters to use. If you want a recommendation, I recommend Ultraman Tiga.

I ❤️ ultraman geed the son of ultraman belial

The alien u show from "Orb" is actually from the Showa Era and Ginga

Ok this might be a little confusing geed was the first I watched as it was airing I caught glimpses of orb as it was airing but didnt watch it fully until after geed, why? When I start a season, any toku or any show, I try to watch it as it comes out, weekly or monthly in some cases so I can form a opinion then, then after the season finishes have a first time opinion then I will rewatch it at a later date. Geed is up there as one of my favourite tokusatsu shows, feed is easily my favourite ultraman, by far.

My dreams have been come true thank you I will now wait for marcos retrospective

Geed was the first ultraman i purchased. I love it. Back in 2017 I got an ultra zero eye neo. Im happy riku returned for z

Great review!

Reusing monsters are totally due to budget, even in the early days Tsuburaya reuse monster suits in their other shows or made small modifications and reuse them in later seasons. Also they can continue to sell monster toys. They can't really sell toys of One-off monsters.

I wished this series could do more with Belial and how Riku saw his memories.

I absolutely love Geed

The reused kaiju suits is definitely due to the budget. I thinks its due to the kaiju only showing up in one episode per series so they gotta get their money's worth out of those suits. I mean most of the original ultraman series are 50+ episodes of monster of the week.

Would you like 5suburaya to make a stand alone series for zero and leito?

I love the New Generation Ultraman series. It's basically Kamen Rider Decade, but longer and different Ultras every year.

Ngl this is my favourite design of Ultramen ( or maybe I just love Belial as a villain )

Fun Fact: Laiha's actress previously portrayed Airi Nogami in Den-O

something that swings around side way has nothing much to do with its ability to cut through things (its edge), The sword that Leiha uses s a legit Chinese style sword. Think of a papercut, it is moving around but still sharps on its edge

Just curious (and I’m also new to Ultraman which is why I’m asking), but does anybody know why that ever since Ultraman Ginga ever season is only 25 episodes compared to the normal 50 of Super Sentai and Kamen Rider?

You should watch R/B. The O50 Ultras overall are really good season I love both R/B and Orb. O50 Ultras are the best

I honestly really liked this show. This is also my first Ultraman I watched after taking a break from Ultraman. It helped me get back into Ultraman and reignited my love of Ultraman. The thing I didn't like about the show is the Belial and Zero shtick again. It really should have been about Geed and Belial most of the time

the only experience i have with ultra man is the new rise of ultra man comics. and the EXTREMLY brutal netflix verson, but i love the comics and realy want to watch the show at some point

14:42 I don’t think anyone was expecting that.

Not my first ultraman (that would be R/B, unless you want to count that bizarre 4kids Tiga dub), but personally my current favorite Ultraman (but Z is a very close second). I love the story, characters, and the tone of the story, as well as the fight scenes

Hey can you review kamen rider kiva?

Does the “Villain forcing the hero to gather all of his powers“ trope happen in R/B? That is the only spoiler I might actually be OK with.

I like every single scene Ultraman zero and his host, Leito are in.

Can you do a review of orb next?

I loved geed also was my first, not my favorite that’s for orb. But I absolutely loved the cast of characters and there dynamics with one another. If I had to recommend and ultra season pls watch Nexus. It’s a more darker and realistic ultra, but it still has all the messages of being an Ultraman. I will say the ending is rushed but that’s because it was being canceled giving it a 37 episode run instead of the 50 it was originally intended for. But despite that I still think it’s a amazing ultra season and personally one of my favorites!

Ultraman geed is the second ultra series that I ever finished. I also watched r/b

You confused about Laiha's sword? Guess you haven't watched that many kung fu flicks or an actual wushu with swords😂 I personally considers Geed as one of my top 5 Ultra series (though I prefers Orb a little bit more). For an Ultraman recommendation please watch Mebius.

0:47 Uh I think the japanese words of Xead was supposed to be Geed. The English words of Xead is actually a typo.

You should watch Orb. It's so good! Also it was my first season!

You should watch orb,tiga and taiga.Also if youre going to watch tiga,watch the movies too

I like how short the recent ultra series because unlike series like kamen rider they know when the story needs to end

I started watching Geed After his appearance in Ultraman Z and I think its a good ultra season. But my one question is what qualifies has a final form In Ultraman? Like is it the shows final form (Geed Mega Master) or the Movies final form (Ultimate Final)?

Check Ultraman Nexus, it is actually a really good show.

At least I know you’re the champion of common Rider. 🤗

My favorite ultra series is r/b because it talks about family and just wholesome!! I really love te suits to, my favorite suit is ultraman blu.some people hated r/b and see them as an insult and i could understand but saying the series as an insult is really disrespectful in any way. In conclusion, i really love r/b because it's just a warm hearted series and i love that.

Riku is nao?

I’ve never watched ultra man I’ve been told should what season would you recommend for a new comer to ultra man

Reiblood was never mentioned after the separation…….and beliarok was never mentioned after Z Ultimate final was great And galaxy rising aesthetically might be a tweak/mix of magnificent and solid burning with the armor.

Geed primitive: Ultraman (first light giant) and Belial (first dark ultras) Magnificent form: Father of Ultra (best friend of Belial) and Zero (rival of belial)

Please review the Geed movie!

Gaia is really good

It's great that you really enjoyed this show along with a load of other people. But something I've noticed a lot about geed is that for a lot of newcomers to the franchise, who saw this as their first or one of their first ultra shows, absolutely love it. But for long time ultraman fans like myself and some other people I've spoken to, we utterly hate this show. It's not really an issue if us hating it coz it's new and we're showa or early Heisei elitist, but because we find the story lacking, the fusion gimmick a bad sogn of things to come, and that of course did end up coming, every side character being more interesting then the main protagonist, and the suit designs to be unappealing. But as I say, you enjoyed it and that's great, it's just strange to see the juxtaposition of opinions between different parties.

Zena's actor is suit actor of Geed and many other Ultras. The director wants him to be on screen, but he thiks himself is not good at acting so this is the solution (never opens his mouth). Beside, the actor and actress of Moa got married in real life

Geed was my first ultra show that I watched and finished and it was my favorite ultra Belial: Geed I’m your father Geed:No

Geed was my first too

Hey can u do "EX-AID: Then To Now Season Review" plzzz🙏🙏🙏🙏😆😆

What a coincidence Geed was my first Ultraman!

Have you know about the kamen rider game call kamen rider memory of heroez?

The actors who played Moa and Zena are married in real life

Maybe you do all ultraman suits ranks

Leiha is best girl I wanna see her actress in more stuff she was badass

You're first season? Geed was my first season too. It looked the most interesting.

I ain’t gonna lie, I had a crush on Moa

My first ultraman is ultraman zero

Geed is hands down one of the best seasons of Ultraman I've ever seen, to the point that it made Taiga rather...boring in comparison.
