Comments by Absolute Ultraman! Ultraman Zearth is a parody Ultraman. He hails from The Land of Pikari in Nebula Z95. He has a big red face (a redhead in the truest sense of the word), so he really stands out in group photos with other Ultramen, kind of like a pimple, really. He's not quite adept at being a superhero, but at least he's trying. Zearth dislikes dirt, and will go to great lengths to wash it off of his hands. His goal is to clean the polluted Earth. He transforms with an electric toothbrush, which is consistent with his hygiene fixation.

His human support group disguises itself as a gasoline stand, for which our hero is a janitor (again, consistent with his love of cleanliness).

Zearth's first movie, Ultraman Zearth, was released in 1996 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the original Ultraman, as part of the Ultraman Wonderful World (along with Revive! Ultraman and Ultraman Company.

Ultraman Zearth 2 is paired with the first Ultra Nyan short.

Cameos The movies include cameos by most of the original Science Patrol from "Ultraman." Arashi is a helicoptor reporter (which is not too far from what he currently does in real ilife), In Zearth 1, Hayata is a night watchman (who holds his flashlight up like a Beta Capsule) and in Zearth 2 he is a common citizen who tries to transform into Ultraman with a spoon (echoing Hayata's performance from episode 34), Fuji (the only woman who ever catches the MYDO plane taking off from a secret base exit, which happens to be a billboard), and Captain Muramatsu, as a fisherman. In Zearth 2, Ide shows up as the fisherman's son with the a photograph of his dad (Actor Shohji Kobayashi, who played Capt. Mura, passed away between films). And finally, in Zearth 2, we are treated to a rare cameo reappearance of Jiroh Dan, none other than Hideki Goh from Ultraman Jack as a telecast reporter on TV (thanks to Angel Ruiz for pointing this out). The second movie features "Digital Kanegon," which is a take on the original Kanegon from 'Ultra Q.' It also features Kohji Moritsugu (Ultraseven's Dan Moroboshi) as the captain, Satsuma Ban. The running joke is that he frequently lets it slip that he knows that we in the audience know that he's Mr. Moritsugu / Dan Moroboshi / Ultraseven. He says "NATSUKASHIH!" when he sees capsule monster Miraclon (that's something Japanese people say when reminded of the old days). At the end of the movie, he also nudges Katsuto and tells him he'll have to teach him the heel drop sometime (which implies that Dan knows that Katsuto is really Zearth).
