Ultraman R/B (ウルトラマンR/B(ルーブ), Ultraman Rūbu)[a] is a Japanese tokusatsu superhero television series produced by Tsuburaya Productions. It is the 30th entry to the Ultra Series overall and the last entry to the series released in the Heisei era. It aired on TV Tokyo on July 7, 2018.[1][2]

The series's main catchphrase is "This is the story of us, brothers. Starting out as Ultraman." (これは俺たち兄弟の物語。ウルトラマン、はじめます。, Kore wa oretachi kyōdai no monogatari. Urutoraman, hajimemasu.).

Synopsis

Main article: List of Ultraman R/B characters

The two main characters, Katsumi and Isami Minato, are brothers who live with their younger sister and father who runs a specialty store. One day, they found the R/B Gyro and R/B Crystals, which transforms Katsumi into Ultraman Rosso and Isami into Ultraman Blu. The story is based on “bonds” and “love”, in which the brothers face their emotions with allies and against enemies, realizing important things they tend to take for granted.[1][2] Although both siblings collide against each other, they willingly cooperate when fighting against opponents.[4]

  • In the final episode of Ultraman Orb: The Chronicle, Katsumi and Isami made their appearance as they walk past Gai Kurenai during the evening.

Production

As mentioned by Tsuburaya Productions, this series is part of the "New Generation Hero" (ニュージェネレーションヒーロー, Nyū Jenerēshon Hīrō) batch, which aired on TV Tokyo since the start of Ultraman Ginga. The new series is said to be filled with even more exciting elements than the past Ultra Series, with an unexpected story plot. Aside from the titular brothers fighting against their opponents, it also serves as a TV drama series focusing on the brothers’ family bond.[1][2] In an interview conducted by Sports Hochi, filming of the series was revealed to have started on March 10, 2018.[4] Takao Nakao returns from Ultraman Orb to serve as head of writing and series composition.
