This was the only theatrical appearance of all three Heisei Ultras together until 2008's Superior 8, making it basically the Avengers '06 of tokusatsu.
The 'magic wish rock' plot directly mirrors 1990s anxiety about children's media consumption—Tsutomu's imagination literally manifests as violence that adults must contain.
