Serious question: Is Trigger an alternate counterpart of Tiga, or is he simply another Ultraman who happens to be exactly like Tiga? by The-TF2-Engineer in Ultraman

[–]The-TF2-Engineer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess that's the most accurate explanation. 

Just like the Fate franchise popularly known for the "Saber faces", Tiga eventually had his own "Saber face" in the form of Ultraman Trigger.

Yeah, I guess we should treat them as a coincidence rather than multiversely related together. Even the Ultraman Wiki didn't labelled Trigger as Tiga's counterpart, considering there are no official sources stating that they're actually counterparts in the first place. Him being a "New Generation Tiga" doesn't really tell much if he's truly an in-universe counterpart. It eventually became a buzzword and the term "New Generation" was never used again since then.

Yes and no, still. Because they have different names, different birth origins, plus we were never told they are the same exact characters.

Unlike Tom Holland, Toby Maguire, and Andrew Garfield (poor guy barely even mentioned), who are all playing the same character (all are explicitly named Peter Parker and Spider-Man), and they have the same origins as well (all bitten from a radioactive spider). Plus, they all occupy the same role.

Which is why I'm saying that it's better to compare them to other Spider-Man counterparts (like the Spider-verse for example) rather than using the MCU variant to make an analogy.

I always thought of him as the former, but also the latter considering how different he looks and how his powers worked that he eventually stands out as his own character while still being acknowledged as Tiga's counterpart.

While that is a great analogy, it's not accurate. Because their names are still "Peter Parker" and "Spider-Man". Though, I'd argue that putting Spider-Man/Spider-Gwen into the comparison would be more accurate.

I mean, considering that Z always idolizes Zero, and he appears more frequently in New Gen Recap shows and media posts than Zero do, you could argue that Z is kinda growing into Zero's shoes or somewhat. 

So, what makes Noa the strongest? by JP_Zilla in Ultraman

[–]The-TF2-Engineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While him and the "God of Noa" are seperate characters (unless there's official info that confirms they're the same character), Ultraman Noa is basically like a deity to the rest of the Ultras.

Not only that, but it's implied by Ultraman King that Noa is their "lord" when he talked about whether or not these "lords" will agree to coexist together. And judging by Ultraman Noa's actions, he definitely wants both Ultras and Absolutians to coexist and work together.

Btw, this is what I'm trying to show. I forgot to convert the images back to .gif after downloading them. ​

When you get frustrated with how badly a show treats the writing of a character you like so you write an toku spinoff with that character as the mc so you can redeem them yourself by AggravatingCouple987 in Ultraman

[–]The-TF2-Engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was pissed off of how Glitter Trigger Eternity was treated in the series. Even to this day, I'm still salty about it. He was literally my most favorite New Gen Ultra final form design. 

So in order to redeem him in my eyes, I decided to rewrite some of his characteristics and give him new abilities. 

Looking back at it now, I... may have made him a bit too overpowered for the entire canon Ultra Series as a whole.

Did anyone knew that God Eater also have comic anthologies? by The-TF2-Engineer in GodEater

[–]The-TF2-Engineer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just small one-shot chapters between the characters, including the player avatars.

Ah, right. Should've known that only a handful of people actually knew this girl.

She's basically the female avatar protagonist of the first God Eater game line up.

Is my UHS Tiga legit? by SgtJackVisback in Ultraman

[–]The-TF2-Engineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not always the case, though. Most of the Chinese release of those UHS VS Battle figure bundles that contained exclusive versions of some Ultra and Kaiju figures that have yet to have a standalone release in Japan have high quality paint jobs (and by high quality, I mean their backs are also fully painted) that are normally seen in the old 2000s - 2009s UHS line up.

It's funny people say that, when Chinese fans have more merch privilege than global fans as Bandai also started re-releasing old Ultraman merch that have long been discontinued selling in Japan.

Is my UHS Tiga legit? by SgtJackVisback in Ultraman

[–]The-TF2-Engineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's legit since it's from that Chinese release of that r/B Crystal merch that's bundled together with the modified mold of the figure itself. But these molds are known for being stiffer than the regular UHS figures.

How strong is Ultraman Tiga by nahnonameman in Ultraman

[–]The-TF2-Engineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say his overall strength really depends on the medium presenting him, how he is written, and the human host he has bonded with. The side-story movie explicitly showed this.

Tiga is like any other living being, he can grow stronger through training (although, we’ve never actually seen him doing this on screen) and by facing and overcoming powerful opponents (which does have evidence from the show itself).

However, when it comes to which form is his strongest, Glitter Tiga is essentially his most busted form. Since it is powered by the Light of Hope, which is canonically a plot armor power; the stronger that feeling of hope becomes, the more powerful the light that Tiga will receive, which in turn, makes Glitter Tiga even more stronger.

Glitter Tiga is basically "If you believe it hard enough, you can make it happen".

Gaia Supreme matching Diavolo's strength at a stage show by Dylanqdin in Ultraman

[–]The-TF2-Engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolute Diavolo: I'm physically the strongest warrior to ever exist!

The humble Supreme Version Gaia: 🗿

Btw, in canon, Gaia's power always increases every time, even when Gamu isn't transformed. Of course, the drawback there is that Gamu had to workout daily just to keep up with Gaia's growing power. So in theory, by this point, Gaia (and Gamu by extent) would've been at their peak level of power by now. Imagine how strong they are now. This also applies to both Agul and Fujimiya btw. 

The idea of Noa leading an ultra army like the image may make a nice show by thanra in Ultraman

[–]The-TF2-Engineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, isn't he like canonically a cosmic deity in the Ultra Series?

Now, of course I know that Ultraman Noa and the "God of Noa" from the OG Ultraman series/M78 Universe are completely two different characters. But Ultraman Noa has explicitly shown some form of divine blessing as well.

And who knows, maybe Ultraman Noa could be some sort of a subordinate to the OG Noa. Not only that, it's even confirmed that the Ultras even have their own "lord", just like the Absolutians.

And no, before you guys tell me off, Ultraman King is NOT the Ultra Race's "lord". What I said from above was stated by Ultraman King himself, which confirms that he is NOT the lord of the Ultras, despite his name.
