is a tokusatsu TV series and the eighteenth entry in the Ultra Series that was broadcast in Japan in 2004. It is a remake of Ultra Q, the first entry of the Ultra Series. It retains the same swirling effect for the title card, but with the words "Dark Fantasy" added underneath, the title also remains black and white. The final episode confirmed this is not a sequel; rather, it is another timeline in which the original series is portrayed as a television show.
