| Type | Exclamation |
| Origin | Ultraman series |
"Shuwatch" is an exclamation commonly associated with the Ultraman series, a media franchise created by Tsuburaya Productions.
Introduction
It is Ultraman's "catchphrase", so to speak.
However, basically, Ultramen don't say "Shuwatch" when about to attack the enemy or shoot a beam at them (in that case, they shout other exclamations such as "Heah!", "Shaa", "Dyuwah", or "Dahh!"). Ultraman shouts this just before defeating a kaiju and flying off the scene.
Then, the reason why this word (?) has become synonymous with Ultraman is that it has become common to parody Ultraman by drawing characters saying it.
Other variants
- Ultraseven: "Dyuwah!" (デュワッ!)

- Ultraman Leo: "Eeyah!" (イヤァー!)
- Ultraman X: "Issah!" (イーッサ!)
- Ultraman Orb: "Orya!" (オウリャ！)
- Ultraman Z: "Kiah!" (キアッ！)
- Ultraman Zero: "Deryah!" (デェリャッ！)
