Ultraman Neos

Ultraman Neos (ウルトラマンネオス Urutoraman Neosu?) is a Japanese tokusatsu show, being the 17th show in the Ultra Series. Produced by Tsuburaya Productions, Ultraman Neos was released direct-to-video on November 22, 2000, with a total of 12 episodes.

Plot

In the first decade of the 21st Century on Earth, the rising of the population results in low quality of life, as well the increasing number of ESP incidents and alien invasions. In the Nebula M-78, the information service of the Space Defence Force watches these phenomena and throughout the Space Security Service, a ramification of the group, send a mission to Earth, commanded by Ultra Seven 21 (ウルトラセブン21 Urutoraseben Tsū Wan?).

The general of the troop, even knowing the uncommon situation in the area, finds inadequate to take off the veteran Seven 21 of his rank and asks for support to the Yuhshi Shirei Bu (Warrior Command Group) of the Ultra War Unit. The organization selects the young warrior of the elite troop, Ultraman Neos, with Seven 21 giving him support when necessary. Zoffy made a cameo in episode 2, but Neos is not part of the original Ultra universe (in episode 1, HEART does not recognize Neos or the Ultraman concept, and the captain orders them to attack "the giant"), thus establishing that Neos is actually part of a alternative universe.
