The premise

After being brutally maimed by evil aliens, Dan Moroboshi (Ultra Seven) takes under his wing a fierce young Ultra-like being from L-77, and christens him "Ultraman Leo," to continue his mission to defend the Earth.

Horror Vault's take

When a devastating alien attack leaves a legendary defender unable to fight, a raw and powerful newcomer from a destroyed world is forged into Earth's next great protector. Ultraman Leo follows the rigorous, often brutal journey of a young warrior learning what it truly means to be a hero under a demanding and battle-scarred teacher. Each week brings fresh monstrous threats that push Leo — and the humans around him — to their limits. It's a tokusatsu series with a harder, more disciplined edge than many of its predecessors.
