The Reiwa era (令和,   Reiwa), or Reiwa period (令和時代,   Reiwa Jidai), is the current political period in Japan, after the Heisei era in 2019 when Emperor Naruhito took the throne. Mainline entries of the Ultraman Series are identified as the New Generation Heroes (新世代ヒーローズ（ニュージェネレーションヒーローズ）,   Nyū Jenerēshon Hīrōzu) or the Third Generation.[1] The first six entries of the Third Generation are included retroactively despite airing during the Heisei era. The first Ultraman series to truly air during Japan's Reiwa era was 2019's Ultraman Taiga.

In 2013, half of Tsuburaya Productions was bought by Bandai, who now controls half the company. The first Ultraman series to air under Bandai's supervision was 2013's Ultraman Ginga, which would set the template for all future Ultraman series. Shortly after, a new term was given to Ultraman Ginga and its succeeding installments: the New Generation Heroes. Unlike previous Ultraman media, the New Generation Heroes series now have less then thirty episodes mostly feature reoccurring monsters. Due to Bandai now owning part of Tsuburaya Productions, their products and merchandise are promptly advertised in the New Generation Heroes series. Products include: Toys, cards, medals, handheld weapons and transformation devises with gimmicks to use said products. Additionally, certain installments of the New Generation Heroes series revolve around reviving older Ultraman series concepts and stories. This is most prevalent in the New Generation TDG series, which share plotlines with the original Heisei Trilogy.
