Potential *SPOILERS* ahead... THE SUPER 8 ULTRA BROTHERS takes place in a parallel universe. As such, it's not ignoring the facts established in the TV series, they simply don't apply here. In this universe, Daigo, Asuka and Gamu are born and grow up as normal children, watching Ultraman on TV. When they're children, they make a promise to the red shoed girl that they will become Ultramen when they grow up and save the Earth. They grow up, get normal jobs, and forget about all of that, until the time comes to make good on their promise! Hayata, Dan, Goh and Hokuto are just ordinary men who live and work in Yokohama. Mirai Hibino (Mebius) is the only character in the entire movie who's the same person as in their TV series. He gets pulled through from his own dimension. If I were to infer anything about the "universes" from this movie, it would be that all the TV series - ULTRAMAN, ULTRA SEVEN, RETURN OF ULTRAMAN, ULTRAMAN ACE, ULTRAMAN TIGA, ULTRAMAN DYNA, ULTRAMAN GAIA, ULTRAMAN MEBIUS - happened just as they did, and elements of these universes have been bleeding through into the one we see in the movie. There are a couple of cool scenes in the movie where Daigo slips through into Mirai's world at random intervals near the start of the movie. Almost like the walls of the universe are breaking down. Little over 2 weeks left before the Blu-ray/DVD release! Edited by James Ballard, Jan 7 2009, 03:18 PM.
