Ultraman Records

A wiki page for collecting miscellaneous Ultraman trivia, records, and noteworthy firsts.

All records are based only on main series (mini-series like Ultra Fight and movies don't count), unless specified.

Things to add

• First series with planes? Did Ultra Q have planes?
• First series with a combining plane? Note: Not a big plane that splits up. Something like Nexus' Chrome Chesters combining into one.

Records

Series with most defense team deaths (excluding minor personnel like guards)

• Ultraman Leo (?): MAC members are often killed and replaced at a frightening rate. To top it off, MAC's base gets destroyed mid-series, and all their members except those who were Ultramen were killed.
• Ultraman Mebius (8): Four 2-seater planes were destroyed, and assuming they all have 2 crews in each, that makes 8 members killed.

Series with the most number of main team personnel

• Ultraman Gaia (24): 5 members as the operation crew in base, and 6 teams of field operations crew with 3 members each, plus the part-time operator. (Note: Chiba isn't part of XIG. He belongs to the parent organization GUARD)

Series with the most number of main team combat personnel

• Ultraman Gaia (16): Gamu and 5 teams of 3 each. Excluding Chief Tsutsumi because he doesn't really fight in his mothership.
