Take note that you'd better not read this unless you've binge-watched the rest of the Ultraman New Generation era shows (save for R/B). I can wait.
Are you finished binge-watching the New Generation shows? Let's go.

| Ultraman R/B |
10) In Episode 6 of Ultraman Ginga, just as Ginga's about to be beaten by the wrath of Alien Valky and Dark Tiga, the once arch nemesis Tomoya Ichijouji comes to the rescue. He was unknowingly given a Gun-Pad and the Jean-Killer Tomoya piloted was re-named Jean-Nine. Together, Ginga and Jean-Nine vanquished Alien Valky and Dark Tiga. Did you know that Jean-Nine was one of Zero's friends as part of his Ultimate Force Zero? Oh, that young Ultraman, letting one of his friends slipping by.
9) In episode 10 of Ultraman Ginga S, the kaiju guardian of the underground world Shepardon sacrifice itself to protect Victory (Show) from the attacks of the two kaijus summoned by Alien Guts Vorst. Following Shepardon's sacrifice, it became a Spark Doll and to ensure that all of its efforts will not go in vain, Show Ult-Lances the Shepardon Spark Doll and unleashed Ultraman Victory's powerful weapon, the Shepardon Saber.
8) Chigusa Kuno, one of Hikaru Raido's childhood friends, fulfills her dream of being an idol in episode 12 of Ultraman Ginga S where an Alien Metron becomes so devoted to Chigusa, he turned away his role from being one of Exceller's henchmen to being a passionate fan. As Vorst attacks his former colleague, Ginga and Victory goes all-out to save a very special fan and with Vorst got distracted by Chigusa's performance (that's how idols roll in this universe), he got defeated by the two Ultra Heroes, saving an Alien Metron's life to get back at what he does best; cheering for his favorite idol.
7) Daiichi Ozora and Ultraman X are revived thanks to Asuna in the finale of Ultraman X and in the finale, to stop the fully formed Greeza, Daiichi and X combined all of the powers of the cards they've obtained to unleash X's Hybrid Armor. Thanks to X's Hybrid Armor, Daiichi and X successfully defeated Greeza once and for all.
6) In episode 15 of Ultraman R/B, as the Grgio King kaiju, which was controlled by Makoto Aizen, awakened by Saki Mitsurugi following it defeating the Minato brothers from a previous episode, the brothers are going all-out to defeat the monster. In there, the powers of the Ultraman crystal and the Belial crystal they've picked up have awakened and using all of the powers from the crystals in possession, the Kiwami Crystal has formed and with this crystal, the powers of Rosso (Katsumi Minato) and Blu (Isami Minato) have combined to become Ultraman R/B. Using the powerful R/B Kourin weapon, the brothers successfully finished off the kaiju with Aizen in it.
5) In episode 17 of Ultraman Geed, as Riku escapes from Belial's illusions thanks to his companion Laiha Toba because of the Little Star she possesses, Geed goes all-out to defeat Belial with the whole crowd cheering for our Ultra Hero. With Laiha's Little Star passed to Geed after that epic fight scene between Geed and Belial (in his Chimeraberos form) Riku obtained the King Capsule. With the power of the Belial capsule and the King capsule comes the King Sword and with this sword, Ultraman Geed Royal Mega Master awakens and his divine powers more than enough to blow Belial into smithereens.
4) In Episode 8 of Ultraman Geed, Ultraman Zero comes back to life following his sacrifice from a previous episode and fights alongside Leito Igaguri once again. As Zero and Geed teams up against not one but two Galactrons summoned by Kei Fukuide, a strange light approaches Zero. It turns out that Ultraman Hikari appeared to give Zero the Riser and the New Generation capsules. With the Riser equipped with the Ultra Zero Eye NEO and the powers of the New Generation capsules, Ultraman Zero becomes Ultraman Zero Beyond, a more powerful version with powerful moves such as Quattro Slugger and Bulky Chorus.
3) In the finale of Ultraman Geed, as Geed's about to be beaten by his father, Belial Atrocious, the combined might of the Ultra Heroes prompted to summon all of Geed's variants from Solid Burning, Acro Smasher, Magnificent, and Royal Mega Master. As Geed and all of his variants destroyed Belial's Atrocious form, Geed zaps his father to the wormhole formed by Zegan, under the control of Alien Shadow Zena of the AIB before Belial crushed him. In that wormhole, after witnessing Belial's flashbacks, Geed (Riku Asakura) ultimately eliminate his father once and for all.
2) Near the climax of the finale of Ultraman Orb, Orb (Kurenai Gai) got unexpectedly teamed up with his arch nemesis Jugglus Juggler to defeat Magata no Orochi. As Juggler gets grabbed by Magata no Orochi while exposing its weak point, Juggler told Orb to finish him off along with the Great King Demon Beast with it. It's a risky sacrifice but Orb pulled an ultra-explosive finale by using all of the cards to summon his ancestors and put an end to the great monstrosity once and for all. BOOOOM!!!
1) The explosive team-up between X, Ginga, and Victory from episode 14 of Ultraman X is hands down the best New Generation moment I've ever saw. That episode sees Daiichi Ozora, Hikaru Raido, and Show team up to defeat Mold Spectre once and for all and the combined might of Exceed X and Ginga Victory is too awesome to miss.
HONORABLE MENTION: Rem's human form in episode 19 of Ultraman Geed. In that episode where Kei raided our heroes' Nebula House to restore his organs, Sturm organs, and rein terror once more, prompting our heroes to escape, they've encountered a young woman who turned out to be Rem, the artificial intelligence supporting Riku during his adventures. Suzuko Mimori's appearance in a tokusatsu show really shocked the fans, including Love Live fans.
ANOTHER HONORABLE MENTION: Kaiju Booska in episode 17 of Ultraman R/B. The lovable classic kaiju of Tsuburaya Productions made its appearance in a Halloween episode where Asahi, Mitsurugi, and the girls following Pigmon, which lured them to a haunted house with Dada in it.
