Episodes

Spin-off

Ultraman Omega Side Story: Voyage of Gamedon(ウルトラマンオメガ外伝 Voyage of GAMEDON, Urutoraman Omega Gaiden Boyāju Obu Gamedon) is a four-part novel spin-off released on Tsuburaya Imagination on March 20, 2026. It was written by Junichiro Ashiki and focuses on the Meteokaiju Gamedon.

Production

Ultraman Omega was conceptualized all the way from the second half of year 2023, with director Masayoshi Takesue noted that he was involved all the way from pre-production, a method that contrasted his previous directorial work in Ultraman Decker. In contrast to more recent works of the Ultraman Series, Omega lacks a defense team due to his arrival on Earth coincided with the first monster attack. This was intentional due to the recurring cases of armed conflicts around the world, thus hoping to give the younger audience a change of pace. In terms of the titular character himself, Omega is designed with the idea that he is both "an Ultraman and not an Ultraman at the same time". His face is designed with the archetypical original Ultraman while painted red to make him less recognizable, as well as adding the use of a crescent boomerang akin to Ultraseven's Eye Slugger. His status as an Ultraman disguised as a human is noted to resemble that of the titular characters of Ultraseven and Ultraman 80. Omega's signature pose of stretching his hand forward is called Omega Scope(オメガスコープ, Omega Sukōpu), which is meant to analyze his opponents prior to actual combat. His movements are also carefully choreographed to emphasize his alien origin. As Sorato, the character is intended by Takesue to be likable on first impression, but is able to grow as the series progresses. Most of the appearing monsters in the series are all Earth natives, as they originally started as Earth creatures that eventually turned into their current forms through a passage of time. Exceptions to this rule is the Meteokaiju, Omega's companions during combat and his source of armored forms, as they are instead extraterrestrial, hence explaining his familiarity with them.

Ultraman Omega was first trademarked and registered by the company on November 8, 2024, and published on November 18, 2024. The series was fully revealed on April 24, 2025, alongside a short initial trailer.
