Synopsis
Main article: List of Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga characters

30 million years prior, a giant of light sealed the darkness and went into slumber in the red star. In the present day, GUTS-Select team was formed while Martian settlement Kengo Manaka lived his life as a botanist. Unfortunately his peaceful life was disturbed by a monster attack at the same time when the sealed darkness started to move. Kengo has a fated encounter the giant of light from the past and his name is Ultraman Trigger.[5][6][7]

Production and casting

Ultraman Trigger was announced by Tsuburaya Productions on April 15, 2021. According to director Koichi Sakamoto, the series is intended to be Ultraman Tiga recreated in the modern day interpretation for the current generation of audience to enjoy, in addition to those grew up watching Tiga.[5][6][7] Additional cast members were announced in June 10 during an online event that introduces the main cast members, in addition to the voice actors.[1][2] Electronic company Mirai-Labo announced their collaboration in the series.[8]

Sakamoto included various situations alluding to the real life, such as GUTS Falcon being remote controlled akin to unmanned aerial vehicle and Kengo's habit of cheering others with his smile to provide comfort to the children in a similar sense to his previous work in Kamen Rider Fourze.[9]

Remembering that Ultraman Tiga delivered a huge impact to the audience in 1996 to 1997, Sakamoto aims to reinvoke the same element (in addition to those of Ultraman Dyna and Gaia from the TDG trilogy series) into Trigger while maintaining both shows as separate entities.[9][10] The titular hero, Ultraman Trigger, had his design and Type Change forms proposed by Sakamoto to be based on American comic book superheroes, having observed their changes in costumes over the years.[9] Trigger's weapon, the Circle Arms, is an addition to the series that takes cues from combat weapons of Ultra Warriors of New Generation Heroes instalments and will also serve as a crucial key item in the future.[11]
