“What if the superhero Ultraseven had never existed?” is a question posed by Ultraseven IF Story “The Future 55 Years Ago”, an upcoming 7 minute concept film that celebrates the 55th anniversary of the Ultraseven tokusatsu TV series by Tsuburaya Productions.

 

A teaser trailer for the upcoming short film (below) explores this “what if?” scenario. The film will feature Ultraseven original cast members Kohji Moritsugu as Dan Moroboshi and Yuriko Hishimi as Anne Yuri using “virtual human” technology, and Moritsugu will also reprise his role as Jiro Satsuma.

Tsuburaya Productions describes the story of Ultraseven IF Story “The Future 55 Years Ago” as follows:

 

The sun was sinking towards the western horizon, and darkness was approaching the industrial area on the bay shore. A silver wing that flew from nowhere crash-landed on a deserted beachside. It was the Ultra Hawk 1 that crash-landed due to a time paradox created by Alien Pegassa to prevent an accident that occurred 55 years ago.

 

Earthlings that survived by deciding to destroy Pegassa City that interfered with the Earth’s orbit. An alien that lived in solitude after the city of its species was destroyed.

 

And Ultraseven, an extraterrestrial who loved and lived on Earth. Each world line intertwines, and after 55 years, a story of the future where they encounter comes around.

 

In 2023, Dan Moroboshi will come crossing time and space.
