Is there a purpose for the armor at all, or is it just a convenient gimmick to conceal his identity?

It's an interesting twist, and not the one I expected. So who's the mom?

The armor could be a training thing that Leo makes him wear?

It occurs to me...

What if ANNE is Ultraman Zero's mother? What if Zero is the first ever Ultraman-Human hybrid?!

Wouldn't that be a neat angle for a potential future series? 8D

So I take it those are double blades upon the top of it's helmet? Now there can be TWO monsters being sliced and diced at once! Or just one kaiju pureed to hell and back...

He's been on most of the posters, in most of the scans (though not always prominently featured), and he's at the very beginning of the teaser. He's definitely there, don't worry.

See? He's even in the new teaser poster featuring Zero:

I just watched the new trailer for...and man is it insane!

The monster army is as I thought it be under the direction of Power Ranger veteran Koichi Sakamoto, with every available monster suit in recent memory filled with an actor - crap, even Jashrine the stone-totem monster is there! The effects and actions sequences feel like a mix between Final Wars, a recent Hong Kong action epic, and the Star Wars prequels!

And I love the little bit at the end where Asuka, the human guise of Ultraman Dyna, confronts Zetton Alien (the being in charge of Zetton the monster himself), and go mono-e-mono.

(Here it is again, just for reference sake:

:eek:

THAT WAS FREAKING INSANE. AND AWESOME. IT WAS... AWESANE.

Seriously. The Land of Light and other locales... Belial's fights against the other Ultras... the army of 100 monsters (Gesura, Antlar, Zetton, Baltan, Gomess...)!

My God.

Also, Reiblood Gomora looks awesome.

EDIT: It's gone! :(

That is one exciting trailer... I'm happy to see Takeshi Tsuruno back as Shin Asuka/Ultraman Dyna! Here's a photo of Tsuruno and I in October/November of 1997 when I visited the set of DYNA:

Went through the trailer and various images related to the movie, and made this (hopefully) handy list of appearing characters:

1-Gomora (regular and Reionic Burst forms)
2-Ultraman
3-Ultra Seven
4-Reimon
5-Ultraman Mebius
6-Ultraman Belial

11-Ultraman King
12-Father of Ultra
13-Mother of Ultra
14-Ultraman Leo
15-Astra (Leo's younger brother)
16-Ultraman 80
17-Yullian ('Princess of the Ultrans')
18-Ultraman Neos
19-Ultra Seven 21
20-Ultraman Boy
21-Ultraman Jack
22-Ultraman Great
23-Ultraman Dyna
24-Ultraman Zero / Armor Clad Warrior
25-Windam the Capsule Monster

30-Black King

35-Salamandora
36-Ultrawoman Beth
37-Space Dragon Narse
38-Earthron
39-Sadora
40-Doragoris
41-Baltan
42-Gesura (AKA King Gesura)
43-Goldras (AKA King Goldras)
44-Silvergon (AKA King Silvergon)
45-Twin Tail
46-Antlar
47-Gomess
48-Zetton
49-Arigera
50-Gudon
51-Guts Alien
52-Metron
53-Zetton Alien
54-Gan-Q
55-Banpira
56-Valkie (AKA Valky)
57-Gromite
58-Arigera
59-Lunaticks
60-Birdon
61-Jashrine
62-Roberger
63-Kelbeam
64-Angross
65-Mukadender
66-Verokron
67-King Joe Black
68-Ultraman Xenon

NEW Characters for Oct. 1st

69-Reflect Alien
70-Pigmon
71-Hoe
72-Vakishim
73-Pandon (AKA King Pandon)
74-Super Hipporito
75-Magma Alien
76-Nova
77-Tyrant
78-Dada
79-Telesdon
80-Babalou, Patron Space Lord of Hair Salons and Conditioner Outlets
81-Red King
82-Golza / Fire Golza
83-Galberos (YES! I LOVE THIS JERK)
84-Temperor Alien

I'm holding off on adding the 'Ultra Rookies', only because Tsuburaya Productions is very good at naming all their fictional characters, no matter how minor they may be (Ticks of the False Space anyone?). And with that said, there's no doubt that these seven characters may each get official monikers.

And the following list are the unconfirmed characters, who have been mentioned on various forums, questionable photos, and adverts, but have yet to appear in a true sense, or related to the movie itself. Some of you may question against this logic, but I'm just being accurate for the sake of accuracy. The fact that I'm even mentioning them in this secondary list is pretty fair enough:


Litra (one of Rei's lead monsters, but is strangely no where to be seen...yet)
EX Zetton (despite the advert with Ultraman Belial and Zero, we can't be sure)
Gabora
Brocken
EX Gomora (no where to be seen also...yet)
Red King (can't find him in the trailer, sorry)
Dinozaur (can't find him in the trailer, sorry)
King Joe (I swore I saw the robot in the trailer as well, but on repeat viewings, he's vanished!)

Walkie Alien (of everyone mentioned in the list, I have no idea who this guy is...the walking bush from U7? If so, can't find him in the trailer either, sorry) UPDATE: It's a missspell on Valkie / Valky's name.

Ultraman Max (it looks like him, but with the 'rookies' and Ultraseven 21 there, it's hard to be sure)

'Gestalt Monster Army' (toy adverts show a demonic silhouette that may be another CGI-created super-monster, as with U-Killersaurus from Ultraman Mebius and the Ultra Brothers, and Giga Chimera from The Great Decisive Battle of the 8 Ultra Brothers...but I want to hold off on adding this guy for the main list until more information becomes available)

I hope this was helpful, and I'll update it when more characters are confirmed and/or presented. Or the likes of Keith Akian, Jim Ballard and August Ragon jumps in
