## Spoilers
### Premise
The story begins on a planet far across the galaxy, where Ultraman X and Ultraman Geed are attacked by black Ultramen resembling themselves. At the same time, Ultraman Zero and Ultrawoman Grigio are captured by Ultra Dark-Killer, a demon of darkness with the power to create evil copies of Ultra warriors.[3](https://www.m-78.jp/galaxy-fight/ngh/english/) • [5](https://www.bandainamco.co.jp/cgi-bin/releases/index.cgi/press/9703?entry_id=6774)
To meet the crisis, Ultraman Taro summons the New Generation Heroes: Ultraman Ginga, Ultraman Victory, Ultraman X, Ultraman Orb, Ultraman Geed, Ultraman Rosso, and Ultraman Blu. He also dispatches Ultraman Ribut of the Galaxy Rescue Force to support them, setting up the decisive battle between the New Generation Heroes and the League of Darkness.[3](https://www.m-78.jp/galaxy-fight/ngh/english/) The enemy side includes past villains such as Dark Lugiel and Etalgar, along with the new dark doppelgangers Ultraman X Darkness and Ultraman Geed Darkness.[1](https://tsuburaya-prod.com/news/1363)
## Place in the Ultraman series
The miniseries is the first entry in the Ultra Galaxy Fight line, following the shorter-format predecessors *Ultra Fight Victory* (2015) and *Ultra Fight Orb* (2017), which Sakamoto also directed.[1](https://tsuburaya-prod.com/news/1363) Tsuburaya described it as the first all-new Ultraman series designed for online release and simultaneous worldwide distribution in the franchise's more than 50-year history.[4](https://tsuburaya-prod.com/news/2228)
The story serves as a prelude to *Ultraman Taiga*: it reveals why the New Generation Heroes were battling the evil Ultraman Tregear in the opening of that series' first episode.[6](https://spice.eplus.jp/articles/255107) It is also a spin-off of *Ultraman R/B The Movie*.[7](https://thetvdb.com/series/ultra-galaxy-fight-new-generation-heroes)
**Ultraman Ribut's debut.** The series marks the first live-action appearance of Ultraman Ribut, a hero who originated in Malaysia.[5](https://www.bandainamco.co.jp/cgi-bin/releases/index.cgi/press/9703?entry_id=6774) • [2](https://www.ultramanconnection.com/news/ultra-galaxy-fight-new-generation-heroes-now-a-youtube-spectacular/) The series also features fan-favorite Showa-era Ultras such as Zoffy, Ultraman Ace, and Ultraman Jack.[2](https://www.ultramanconnection.com/news/ultra-galaxy-fight-new-generation-heroes-now-a-youtube-spectacular/)
## Cast and production
The heroes are voiced by the actors from their respective series: Takuya Negishi as Ultraman Ginga, Kiyotaka Uji as Ultraman Victory, Kensuke Takahashi as Ultraman X, Hideo Ishiguro as [Ultraman Orb](https://www.edgepedia.org/ultraman-orb), Tatsuomi Hamada as Ultraman Geed, Yuya Hirata as Ultraman Rosso, Ryosuke Koike as Ultraman Blu, and Arisa Sonoda as Ultrawoman Grigio.[14](https://www.scifijapan.com/ultraman-tsuburaya/ultra-galaxy-fight-new-generation-heroes-press-notes-and-photos-from-tsuburaya-productions) Mamoru Miyano voices Ultraman Zero, Wataru Komada voices Ultraman Ribut, and Hiroyuki Ishimaru voices Ultraman Taro. Villain roles include Koichi Toshima as Ultra Dark-Killer, Tomokazu Sugita as Dark Lugiel, and Tatsuo Suzuki as Etalgar.[8](https://www.allcinema.net/cinema/pdf/370233) • [9](https://filmarks.com/dramas/9666/13634)
The theme song is "Ultra Spiral" by Voyager.[8](https://www.allcinema.net/cinema/pdf/370233) Because the cast consists of suit characters with voice performances, the format made English dubbing straightforward, an experimental element supporting the series' overseas expansion.[10](https://w.atwiki.jp/aniwotawiki/pages/43110.html)
## Reception and follow-up
The series drew 196 user reviews on the Japanese review site Filmarks and was later recut into a 50-minute special after its first season concluded in December 2019.[9](https://filmarks.com/dramas/9666/13634) • [2](https://www.ultramanconnection.com/news/ultra-galaxy-fight-new-generation-heroes-now-a-youtube-spectacular/) A director's cut combining all 13 episodes with previously unreleased scenes was released on Blu-ray and DVD on February 27, 2020, with a making-of interview with Sakamoto and footage from a November 14, 2019 screening talk show as extras.[5](https://www.bandainamco.co.jp/cgi-bin/releases/index.cgi/press/9703?entry_id=6774)
Its success led directly to a sequel. In August 2020, Tsuburaya announced *Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy* for winter 2020, a ten-episode series celebrating the YouTube channel passing one million subscribers, with Sakamoto's director describing the first series as a "festival project" in which the New Generation Heroes gathered to fight together.[4](https://tsuburaya-prod.com/news/2228) • [11](https://mantan-web.jp/article/20201120dog00m200051000c.html) The Ultra Galaxy Fight line continued with *The Destined Crossroads* (2021), which brings both the New Generation Heroes and the classic-era Ultramen back into one story.[12](https://w.atwiki.jp/aniwotawiki/pages/53231.html) Episodes of the series were also rebroadcast as part of *Ultraman New Generation Stars* on [TV Tokyo](https://www.edgepedia.org/tv-tokyo) in 2025.[13](https://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/ungs3/episodes/)
