Heisei Ultraseven (平成ウルトラセブン, Heisei Urutorasebun) is a collective of Japanese direct-to-video instalments, serving as a standalone sequel to the 1967-68 tokusatsu series Ultraseven.[1] The series took place in an alternate universe featuring Ultraseven diverging from Ultraman and other succeeding Ultra Series starting from Return of Ultraman.[2][a]

The project initially started as a pair of television specials in the year 1994, made to promote environmental awareness in Japan.[2] It received a trilogy of specials in 1998 to promote Ultraseven's 30th anniversary and a hexalogy in 1999 to ostensibly wrapping up the entire series.[2] To celebrate the 35th anniversary of Ultraseven, the Evolution pentalogy was introduced in 2002 as a direct follow up to the 1999 hexalogy and became the definitive ending to Heisei Ultraseven.[1][3]
