Trivia
- The idea for Ultraman's power to be inherited came from Producer Shibuya inheriting his role, as well as his experience in the Hakone Relay Races.
- Before coming up with Ultraman Nexus, the staff had considered making a series called Ultraman Cross. Since the theme was the bond between people. (Nexus is Latin for "bond").
- One of the reasons for the adversity shown in Nexus was because the staff wanted to show that their can be difficulties in life, but people should never give up.
- The Ultraman movie was planned to come out before the TV series, but ended up appearing in theaters around episode 12 of the TV series.
- The staff reused settings and kaiju suits to save on money. They thought it was wasteful to build a suit only for it to be destroyed after one episode.
- It was originally going to be a prime time series. They had hoped the story would attract an adult audience.
- They had a project called Yellow Eyes which eventually became The Ultraman movie.
- They had originally planned for Himeya to have a dark side from his experiences as a cameraman during the Vietnam War. He would get drunk with power when he received Ultraman's abilities. But these ideas were scrapped after the 9/11 incident.
- The last episode was planned to be paced out more, but it had to be shortened because the series was cancelled early.
