1972's Ultraman Ace is a series that is simply full of surprises. Of all of the Ultra series I've covered, Ace is perhaps the one with the most divergences from what came before. The series introduced a lot of then new concepts that are common place today. But while Ace starts off unique for the Ultra series by taking the franchise into uncharted territory, where it heads is ultimately all familiar.
Fittingly, the most immediate of these changes are the protagonists
and Ace's hosts. That's right, plural, Ace has two, one a man and the
other a woman.
