In 1971, three years after 'Ultraseven', came the show 'Return of Ultraman.' Since then, a new show has been introduced every year, like 'Ultraman Ace', 'Ultraman Taro', and 'Ultraman Leo.' These series lowered the age of viewers and came to depict the whole series as family dramas of mother and son, father and son, and between brothers. These shows contributed to passing Ultraman on to the following generation, but its negative side was that the original Ultraman fans lost interest, calling them sitcom shows. Birdon is an important monster who beat the eldest brother of the family Zoffy and the youngest, Taro, but his design lacks excitement.
