Ultraman has long been a classic character in Japan, first arriving in 1966 and fighting kaiju ever since. Most recently, the giant superhero made waves thanks to the arrival of Netflix’s Ultraman: Rising, the animated film that saw Ken Sato attempting to raise a kaiju baby. The latest streaming service film is far from the only place that Ultraman has surfaced as Ultraman Taiga will release its complete series, and feature-length film, on Blu-Ray and digital this July. Now, we here at ComicBook have an exclusive clip to get Ultraman back in the saddle when it comes to the hero’s live-action exploits.

For those who missed Ultraman Taiga when it first aired in 2019, the series consists of twenty-six episodes and paved the way for the movie, New Generation Climax, which would arrive later that same year. Taiga continues the long tradition of Ultraman battling against some wild threats, but luckily, the live-action series gives the kaiju fighter plenty of backup.
