Trivia
- The title shows Shin Godzilla at first, making a joke since a lot of the crew worked on that movie too. This is before the name changes to the true title, Shin Ultraman.
- At one point, Kaminaga is reading "The Savage Mind" by Claude Lévi-Strauss which discusses anthropology and human thought.
- Zarab's name comes from the word "brother" backwards in Japanese.
