Ultraman Tiga English Dub Intro "Larger Than Life"
Wallpaper from a promotional CD given out at Toys 'R' Us to promote the Fox Box
Ultraman Tiga received an English dub on the Fox Box from 4Kids Entertainment from September 14, 2002 to March 8, 2003. The episodes that aired on Fox Box were found. The dub was fully to produced, but the episode count was likely shortened to 48 episodes. This is due to merged and skipped content based on responses from people who worked on the English adaptation. The co-producer of the dub, Michael Pecoriello, recently confirmed in an interview that the English version was fully produced. The English dub never aired its 2nd half in favor of 4Kids giving the series an uncut subtitle release. The completely produced dub aired on TV channel POGO in India. One surviving episode title, which is called "Dark Warrior Part 1" which adapts Japanese episode 43, can be found in the link below. Footage from "Dark Warrior Part 2" of Ultraman Tiga battling Evil Tiga can be found in the "Enemy Database: Monster Files" segment for Evil Tiga below as well as Japanese Text is edited off the signs in the background.

4kids licensed Ultraman Tiga in early 2001.

4kids originally planned to air one Ultraman series per year and then move on to the next one for the following year.
4kids launched a website foe their Ultraman Tiga dub that had their own dub terminology for a lot of the lore in the show. It needs flash to work and preserve it's assets like the minigame.

4kids and Tsuburaya planned a multitude of merchandise based on trademarks found here.

The YouTube user GORIZARD TV had remastered some of the episodes using the Japanese Blu-Ray, but unfortunately the account seems to have been taken down, along with all of the episodes. Episode 4, "Spark of Evil" was uploaded to the Internet Archive, and it appears to be the only full episode to resurface at this time.
UPDATE: As of January 20, 2020, GORIZARD seems to be in a new channel, GORIZARD MUSIC and TV. All the episodes they were able to remaster are back again. A graph will be coming soon with the details of the listings.
UPDATE: As of March 2020, the remastered episodes are gone, and GORIZARD MUSIC AND TV is gone. However, the episodes they had remastered are still available on the Internet Archive, although in their original form recorded from the Fox Box when they aired.
UPDATE: As of June 2020, most of the English dub has been found thanks to the Apollo Dub Archive and is available on GORIZARD TV's channel.
UPDATE: The user ZetaReticuli1 found episode 3.
UPDATE: On June 30, 2022, The Toon Archivist released episode 2. It was later coverted by GORIZARD TV.
UPDATE: Gorizard TV released episode 7 on September 19, 2022
UPDATE: The 4kids Flashback podcast unearths dub episode 48, the finale of the 4kids dub on March 5, 2024.
