Episode Z is set two years after the series finale and in this Tsuburaya Imagination original movie, set in honor of the service's first anniversary, the GUTS-SELECT team faced a daunting new challenge; a swarm of threats. When a crisis looms; a savior has been returned; Kengo Manaka, also known as Trigger. However, Trigger faces a more terrifying challenge. The arrival of Tokioka in GUTS-SELECT, Tatsumi's new purpose, the wrath of Evil Trigger, and whatever happened to Z, this is the ultimate challenge Trigger ever faced.

This movie is the closure fans have waited for since the series finale two months ago and as most fans are heavily delighted with the suspense and thrills Episode Z delivers, as well as the long-awaited arrival of Evil Trigger, a terrifying monster reminiscent of Evil Tiga from a certain episode of Ultraman Tiga 25 years ago, some are feeling envy over this because...argh that GUTS Spark Lence thingy. We do want one as well Ignis's Black Spark Lence.

Anyway, Episode Z truly marks the end of Trigger's story and it truly is the ultimate shot fired at the heads of fans who enjoyed Ultraman Trigger from start to finish. It's the biggest bang delivered on the highest note, almost. With Trigger's story truly done, the New Generation Heroes universe is ushering to a new start after a decade of saving the universe. With one story done, a new legacy begins.
