nihongo|"Ultraman Dyna"|ウルトラマンダイナ|Urutoraman Dainais a Japanese tokusatsu TV show which aired between September 6, 1997 to August 29, 1998. The series is a direct sequel to the previous Ultraman series, Ultraman Tiga.

Plot

In the year AD 2017 (More than ten years after the world was saved by Ultraman Tiga), TPC has advanced beyond earth, and has created a new GUTS team, "Super GUTS". Humans have begun terra-forming Mars and other planets in what is known as the "Age of the Neo Frontier". One day, however, the Neo Frontier is attacked by an alien race known as the Spheres. Shin Asuka has just joined Super GUTS and is in the middle of training maneuvers above Earth's atmosphere when he and his comrades are attacked. He proves himself in battle, and can hold his own against ace pilot Ryoh. However, his ship is damaged and he ejects, after which he encounters a shining light. It is then that a new giant of light merges with the bewildered Asuka, saving his life. When the Spheres enter Mars' atmosphere and merge with the Martian rocks to form monsters, Asuka again participates in the battle, now equipped with a mysterious device known as the "Reflasher". Upon the Sphere's new attack, Asuka suddenly transforms into a colossal giant, and manages to protect Mars from a group of monsters sent by the Spheres. The members of Super GUTS quickly catch on that this giant being is not Ultraman Tiga, but a new giant of light, "Ultraman Dyna". In contrast to the serious tone of "Ultraman Tiga", "Ultraman Dyna" is a far more light hearted show, featuring more upbeat stories and goofy character personalities for its cast.

The final story arc is rather somber, in contrast to the rest of the series. Dyna/Asuka ultimately sacrifice themselves to save the Earth from Gran Sphere, the planet-sized mother form of the Spheres. Though the fate of Dyna and Asuka is not at all clear from the final episode, we do get to see that Asuka rejoins his father as they ride off toward the light in their two spaceships.

uper GUTS members

Super GUTS is a branch of TPC (Terrestrial Peaceable Consortium) and is the direct successor to GUTS.
*nihongo|Gousuke Hibiki|ヒビキ・ゴウスケ|Hibiki Gōsuke
The team captain. He is loud and boisterous, often joking with his subordinates and shouting orders. At the same time, however, he is a caring leader with a good heart and good intentions for Super GUTS.
*nihongo|Shin Asuka/Ultraman Dyna|アスカ・シン/ウルトラマンダイナ|Asuka Shin/Urutoraman Daina
Ultraman Dyna's human host. He is light-hearted overall, and is one of the rare Ultra human hosts who also serves as the comic relief of the show. Asuka often whines and pouts immaturely, and sometimes pretends that he is killed in combat just to see his teammates freak out. Asuka is not all just fun and games, though. He can also be headstrong and overly courageous. His well-known motto is "Never give up." Asuka's dad disappeared years ago when his space ship disappeared into a mysterious light, which Asuka himself enters alongside his father in the final episode.
*nihongo|Ryo Yumimura|ユミムラ・リョウ|Yumimura Ryō
The tomboy ace pilot of Super GUTS, who has a short temper and often yells at Asuka for his goof ball antics and recklessness. They have a pilot rivalry going on. However, deep down inside she likes the guy, they do like each other, which becomes quite clear toward the end. She also plays a big sister role for the less experienced Mai. Ryoh is slightly cross-eyed, which add charm for her.
*nihongo|Toshiyuki Kouda|コウダ・トシユキ|Kōda Toshiyuki
The cool and slick haircut guy who is eventually promoted to Dept. Captain.
*nihongo|Mai Midorikawa|ミドリカワ・マイ|Midorikawa Mai
A cute, bubbly, loud cadet-type with little combat experience. She mostly serves as the communication person, but she has multiple crushes (baseball players, cute exploratory robots, bike racers, etc.), gets peoples' attention by saying 'neh-neh-neh,' and has the amazing ability to hide multiple items behind her back, only to whip them out in rapid succession.
*nihongo|Tsutomu Nakajima|ナカジマ・ツトム|Nakajima Tsutomu
The pudgy technician and researcher of the Super GUTS team, often becomes panicked or overly serious.
*nihongo|Kouhei Kariya|カリヤ・コウヘイ|Kariya Kōhei
An expert of shooting of the Super GUTS and is well versed in archaeology.
*nihongo|Hanejiro|ハネジロー|Hanejirō
A strange alien which Asuka befriended on a mission to mysterious planet, it first helped Asuka (as Dyna) by pointing out a monster's weak spot during a battle, and was since made Super GUTS' "mascot" of sorts. It is able to fly and show emotion, but can be mischievous at times.

Mayumi, Shinjoh's nurse sister, returns to reprise her dead-biker boyfriend story arc.
*Episode 30
Cameo by the Production Department office at Tsuburaya Productions. As an inside source disclosed, "Whenever you see a rundown office in a TPC show, you can bet they shot it here (that's our prod. dept. in Dyna ep. 30)"
*Episodes 35

Shinjoh and Horii team up with Super GUTS in locating the battlefield for the monster. Horii's children find Asuka's lost Reflasher and return it to him. Iruma appears in TPC HQ (at this time, Tiga's "Take Me Higher" instrumental is played). Horii asked Shinjoh to team up with Super GUTS in their GUTS Wing. We also noted that an ex-officer of TPC hands Munakata a file that orders him to Tokyo. Munakata appears in GUTS uniform and was in a Guts Wing EX-J to team up with Super GUTS/Shinjoh and Horii . The series ended up when Horii reunites with his family, along with GUTS and Super GUTS marching together.
*Episode 42
Munakata, Shinjoh, Horii, and Rena make cameos. Munakata especially gets to have fun as a Captain Harlock parody.
