Ultraman vs. Kamen Rider (ウルトラマンVS仮面ライダー, Urutoraman Bui Esu Kamen Raidā?) is the name of a television special that aired July 21, 1993 featuring a meetup between Tsuburaya Productions' Ultraman and Toei Company's Kamen Rider.
The main characters, Ultraman and Kamen Rider 1 appear on scene separately, each fighting an original kaijin and kaiju. When the two monsters are going to be destroyed, they merge into a more powerful kaiju. Ultraman experiences trouble and calls for Kamen Rider 1's help. Kamen Rider 1 is then able to grow to enormous size to fight alongside Ultraman. Combining their powers, the two were able to successfully destroy the monster.
