Thank you!

Is Ultra-Zine going on this year and if so, what’s the deadline to apply?

The mod team is still uncertain when vol 4 will be held. Based on the past, we've held it every other year, so likely 2025 (or 2026 if we want to aim for the 60th anniversary.) Usually applications will be around December (so dec 2024 or dec 2025), and we will post updates and promote heavily when applications are open.

A Nice Night at the Kaiju Bar

Before I forget again, I did a comic and this time with @spagonia for @ultra-zine's Vol. 3!!! This is my first comic collaboration where I get to do art instead. Spagonia's writing is so much fun and you should check out her other written works. Highly recommended! 👀✌

The comic itself is a crossover between two obscure Ultra media and characters:

Ultraman Nice - An Ultraman who debuted only in commercials as a means to advertise toys during the Tiga reruns in the late 90s and is a father of two children. While not completely obscure, he does make small appearances in stageshows and in web drama series as comedic relief.

Meitei! Kaiju Bar - A 2015 comedic web manga series by Aoki Ume that features various stories centered within the titular Kaiju Bar, and protag Uruma's experiences there working part-time. (You can read all the chapters here! It's in Japanese though.)

It's a lot funnier if you read it in the zine itself.

ALSO SPEAKING OF THE ZINE!!!

You can get the digital copy of Volume 3, alongside previous volumes now at Ko-fi! Which just opened recently!

GRAB A COPY OF SHUWATCH!! AT KO-FI!!!

Proceeds for the zine will go towards Ultraman Foundation.

Guess what's ready for digital order! It's @ultra-zine!!!

Okay look I know that my very first post said that I wasn't a figure person. That has obviously changed and I have officially fallen into the SH Figuarts rabbit hole. I preordered Blazar plus I want to get Zero and all of Z's forms. Send help, lmao

Full disclosure: I did contribute something to this zine, which is one reason why I haven't done many liveblogs lately. (I'm still a little emotional about seeing something I've written in print.) I wrote Chill Out, It's Snow Problem, though that was before I saw the dub for Z. Watching that notably changed how I write Z's verbal tics.

I had a hard time with this story because my first draft was like 4500 words. I had to cut out a lot and that was a painful experience! Granted, for me editing is always a painful process, but I'm of the opinion that if it doesn't hurt in one way or another, I'm not editing enough. I'll probably toss up the longer version on AO3 eventually though. It actually really, really hurt to cut as much as I did and I want those parts to see the light of day in one way or another.

There were some scenes that I wanted to write but didn't even make it into the first draft. There was originally going to be a scene with Z taking control of Haruki's body with his permission and skating at an ice rink because my headcanon is that Z would be really good at it. Yes, that scene from episode 7 has been living rent-free in my head for way too long. I also thought Z skating in Haruki's body would be a fun scene for the artist (in this case the amazing @chacerider, though I didn't know that at the time) to use for the illustration if they wanted. Beliarok was going to appear too, but I couldn't think of a way to get him in there in a way that I was happy with.

Originally the story started in Haruki's apartment before going to STORAGE, which actually did make it into the first draft. I had to choose between scrapping that whole intro or paring down the emotional beats that came later. The choice was obvious. Oh yeah and I had Haruki nearly get hit by a truck in the first draft. Fun! Still had to cut it, though.

Haruki and Z being able to tell how the other is feeling or emotions bleeding from one to the other isn't exactly something that happens in canon, I know. It's pretty much me taking the idea of Haruki's emotional state having a big effect on Z in episode 12 and then dialing it up to 11. I like the idea of there being side effects (for lack of a better word) to merging, and I wanted to explore how the friendship between Z and Haruki might develop if there was a lot more unintentional emotional openness. I'll also fully admit that I stole some things from Geed. Leito and Zero's conversations when they're out and around regular people was the big one, and while Z does take control of Haruki's body in episode 7 for a second, I was really more thinking of Geed's early episodes and how Zero would take control of Leito's body basically whenever he felt he needed to.

If you made it to the end, thanks! The link to read my story on AO3 is below. If you didn't manage to grab a physical edition of the zine, you can get a digital version of it and the previous volumes here!

Oh hey, @ultra-zine's digital PDFs are now up for general sale! Please observe an example of some of my art which you can find inside/upon it, and consider buying a copy - all proceeds go to charity! ✨

(Honestly, there is so much more and so much better art in there, everyone truly killed it this year and it was such an honor and a blast to be a part of Shuwatch once again!)
