2022 marks the 25th anniversary of Ultraman Dyna, the second instalment in the fan-favourite Tiga/Dyna/Gaia (aka TDG) trilogy. As part of the celebrations, Tsuburaya Productions have announced that Ultraman Chronicle D will premiere on January 29th next year! Presented by Ultraman Trigger‘s own alien Metron Marlulu and the mascot monster Deban, the series has been promised as “a brand new series for fans from every generation”. Though Tsuburaya have said to stay tuned to find out what the D in the title stands for, much like the previous Ultraman Chronicle shows it is likely that this will bring new viewers up to speed with the story of Ultraman Dyna – along with a few other surprises along the way.

As usual, the show will be available to watch on the Ultraman Official YouTube channel shortly after its Japanese TV broadcast.
