Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film's dominant themes critique militaristic authority and advocate for empathy, ethical power use, and collective action over individual dominance, aligning its narrative with progressive values.

The movie features a bicultural Japanese American protagonist and a predominantly Asian and Asian American cast, focusing on themes of cultural identity, family legacy, and parenthood. It incorporates authentic Japanese cultural elements and aims for global appeal, presenting diversity through its characters and narrative without explicitly critiquing traditional identities.

Secondary

Ultraman: Rising subtly explores themes of identity, transformation, and self-acceptance, which metaphorically parallel aspects of the trans experience. Characters are depicted with respect, avoiding stereotypes. The film's nuanced approach contributes to a broader message of inclusivity and self-empowerment, resulting in a net positive portrayal of trans-related themes.

Ultraman: Rising does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film focuses on family dynamics, parenting, and heroism through the story of Ken Sato and a baby kaiju, without addressing or depicting the LGBTQ community in its narrative.

Based on available information, Ultraman: Rising does not depict female characters engaging in direct physical combat with male opponents. Combat sequences primarily feature Ultraman fighting Kaiju and KDF forces, with female characters appearing in supportive roles rather than direct physical confrontations.

Based on available information, characters in Ultraman: Rising, such as Ken Sato and Emiko Sato, maintain their established canonical genders from the source material. There is no indication of any character being portrayed on screen with a different gender than their original, widely established version.

The film's main characters align with their Japanese or Japanese-American backgrounds. While Ami Wakita, a Japanese reporter, is played by a non-Japanese actress, the provided information does not establish her race in prior canon, thus not meeting the definition of a race swap.
