Production
The idea of a standalone Sevenger series was conceived by Taguchi as early as the filming of
Ultraman Z episode 3 in Mt. Iwafune, focusing on Sevenger's fight against Guigass near the observatory. At some point in time later on, Taguchi brought up the idea when Tsuburaya started to launch their online subscription service and
Shogakukan at the same time wanted more content for the
Ultraman Z Super Complete Works magazine. As both parties accepted the idea, production of the series took place in November 2020 at Mt. Iwafune. Although
Sevenger Fight was done in the idea of parodying
Ultra Fight and
Redman, the production team wanted to make the miniseries faithfully accurate to the world view of
Ultraman Z.
Whereas Sevenger is portrayed the same suit used in Ultraman Z, the rest of the appearing monsters were portrayed by attraction suits provided by Tsuburaya's Kaiju Warehouse.
On June 3, 2021, a pay-per-view virtual event was held for an international audience for the worldwide broadcast of Sevenger Fight with English subtitles. The event includes Rima Matsuda, Takaya Aoyagi, Kiyotaka Taguchi and Sean Nichols of Ultraman Max as panelists.
