In order to design a new image of Ultraman, it really took a lot of troubles, which was the case when designing Tiga. It is said that Tsuburaya referenced at least five Ultramans. What's more interesting is that Tiga also has a secret weapon that is not used in the play.
First of all, let's talk about the image of Ultraman Tiga. At least three Ultramans are referenced, namely the first generation, Parvat and Gray. After the launch of "Ultraman Pawat", Bandai made some improvements to his image and made it into a toy. At that time, the designer of Ultraman Diga referred to the image of Pawat toys. In addition, what are the characteristics of Ultraman Tiga's eyes and mouth? It is said that the reference is the second holster of Gray and the original Ultraman. As for Tiga's skills and three forms, he refers to the other two Ultra Warriors.
Many people must have heard that Ultraman Tiga should not have appeared in the past. His appearance was at the expense of the other two Ultramans, and these two heroes are Achilles and Harao. . After Ultraman Leo, Eddie, Parvat, Gray and other Ultraman appeared, the ratings of their works were very poor. Later, Tsuburaya wanted to make a new drama, and decided to arrange two Ultraman warriors in it. And the skills they are good at are really different. There is news that the story has been written and was about to be filmed, but it was rejected because the investment cost was too high, and later it was involved with Tiga Ultraman. After in-depth thinking about
Tsuburaya, he decided to combine two Ultramans into one, so that a lot of costs can be saved. In addition, these two Ultramans are very characteristic, one is stronger, and the other is fast, so Tsuburaya combined these together and created the first warrior that can change form.To be honest, it is because of the sacrifice of them that the current classic Tiga has been achieved. Everyone sees that it has been 25 years, and Tsuburaya is still using the fame of Tiga Ultraman. It's Tiga's flag. But there is one more thing you may not know. The designer once revealed that Tiga still has a secret weapon that is not used.
This so-called secret weapon is deeply hidden. If you carefully observe Ultraman Tiga's leather case, you will find that there is a concave place under the back of his head, which is deliberately left by the designer. He mentioned this in an interview at the time, and he told everyone that his original idea was to use it as Diga's secret weapon, but it did not appear in the play. Of course, we don't know what kind of power can be exerted by leaving a concave place. Perhaps in future Ultraman works, Tsuburaya may reveal the answer to us.
In fact, like Ultraman Tiga, there are still many characters designed with reference to many hero images, such as Ultraman Triga, let's take a look at his three forms, is it a hit in the face? Jay"?
