As I understand it was voted on years after his show had happened, presumably Tsuburaya decided he needed a more distinctive name that 'Shin Ultraman' or whatever it was
But why "Jack"??? That's one of a few Ultras with western names.
I know. Some Kamen Riders have had it in their real names.
Well IIRC he was just called 'New Ultraman' at first, but there was some sort of licensing issue so they had to come up with a different name for him, and they held a contest for children to pick his new moniker. As for why "Jack" won, who knows lol. He's just one of those Ultras with a Western name, alongside Ultraman Scott, Ultraman Chuck and Ultrawoman Beth. :laugh:Jack is just one that happens to be a name that real people have. I don't really know why they'd choose it.
