| 10 | -->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TomokazuSugita, Nicholas Clark (English dub), Victor Ruiz (Latin American Spanish dub) |
| 11 | A mysterious Ultraman whose Spark Doll resides in the Ginga Spark, Ultraman Ginga hails from the Land of Light's distant future and was prophesied in M78 legend. He has fought against his sworn enemy Dark Lugiel across the cosmos and through time, eventually arriving in the present where he manifested in Hikaru. |
| 12 | ---- |
| 13 | * AllYourPowersCombined: Ginga Strium, accessed by the fusing with Ultraman Taro via the Strium Brace. In this form he can use the special moves of the Six Ultra Brothers – Ultraman, Zoffy, Ultraseven, Jack, Ace, and Taro. This form is no longer accesible after Taro left with his job on Earth is done. |
| 14 | * BladeBelowTheShoulder: The Ginga Saber, an energy blade formed from his right arm. |
| 15 | * ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Ginga's light-up panels change color for each of his moves -- blue default, red for fireballs, yellow for thunderbolts, green for healing, and purple for the Ginga Slash. |
| 16 | * CosmicMotifs: His name is literally the Japanese for Galaxy. In addition, his crystals change color as a reference to the multitude colors of the galaxy. |
| 17 | * HealingHands: The Ginga Comfort, which works a lot like many of Series/UltramanCosmos' powers by showering the enemy with a calming, healing light. |
| 18 | * TheHero: This is as much his story as it is Hikaru's. He's the one who beat Dark Lugiel in the original Dark Spark War and their battle continues into the present day. |
| 19 | * PlayingWithFire: The Ginga Fireballs, in which he summons homing orbs of fire that he can direct at his foes as he pleases. |
| 20 | * ShockAndAwe: The Ginga Thunderbolt creates a vortex of lightning to engulf monsters. |
| 21 | * YourSizeMayVary: Ginga's height can be somewhat inconsistent at times, from as tall as a classic Ultra to half the avergae Ultra's height, with objects like lamp posts and overhead powerlines standing to Ginga's waist. This is due to financial issues faced by [=TsuPro=] during filming, where they can only adjust the size of foreground objects based off the sets. Later [=TsuPro=] would provide a canonical height for Ginga: Micro to ''infinity''. |

| 27 | [[caption-width-right:342:''Ultlive! Ultraman Victory!'']] |
| 28 | |
| 29 | -->'''Voiced by:''' Kiyotaka Uji, Bryan Forrest (English dub) |
| 30 | An Ultraman who hails from the ancient underground civilization of the Victorian people, Ultraman Victory is the guardian of the Victorium stones that allow their civilization to flourish, with his Victory Lance passed through generations. But when dark forces begin to steal the crystals, Victory is forced to head to the surface to find the enemy, lending his power to the Victorian prince Shou. He debuts in ''Ultraman Ginga S''. |
| 31 | ---- |
| 32 | * BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: Victory has several V-shaped crystals adorning his body. |
| 33 | * EquippableAlly: How the Spark Dolls work for him. Instead of turning into a monster, he gains a piece of them to use as a weapon on his right arm. |
| 34 | ** ArmCannon: By using the [[Series/UltraSeven King Joe]] [[Series/UltraGalaxyMegaMonsterBattle Custom]] Spark Doll, Victory gains the robot's powerful Pedanium Launcher. |
| 35 | ** CoolSword: By scanning Shepherdon's Spark Doll, Victory will be armed with the Shepherdon Saber, a sword that resembles said monster's back crystal. |
| 36 | ** PlayingWithFire: Gains this with the [[Series/UltraGalaxyMegaMonsterBattle EX Red King]] Spark Doll. |
| 37 | ** PowerFist: The EX Red King Spark Doll gives him the monster's massive fist, allowing him to not only punch harder, but create fiery eruptions by slamming the ground. |
| 38 | ** PowerPincers: His Sadorah Scissors, gained from using the [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Sadorah]] Spark Doll. Like the monster, he can stretch out the pincer arm to impossible lengths to hit foes from afar. |
| 39 | ** ShockAndAwe: The [[Series/UltraSeven Eleking]] Spark Doll grants him lightning-based abilities. |
| 40 | ** LightningLash: He gains a whip from Eleking Spark Dolls, which keeps Eleking's electric powers. |
| 41 | * FinishingMove: '''Victorium Shoot''': His signature move, which appears as an orange beam with multiple light orange Vs in it. Victory draws an energy V by raising his hands and the V and yellow energy is absorbed in the V Crystal on his right arm. It is fired from an "L" position from the V Crystal on Victory's wrists, which means it is fired from the back of his hand. |
| 42 | * TheLancer: To Ultraman Ginga. |
| 43 | * MultiformBalance: |
| 44 | ** JackOfAllStats: His normal form. |
| 45 | ** SuperForm: Ultraman Victory Knight, an enhanced version of Victory. His red and black markings replaced with blue and silver and his V Crystals turned red. His main weapon is the [[MixAndMatchWeapon Knight]] [[MusicalAssassin Timbre]], a sword/flute object. |
| 46 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Ultraman Victory is one of the few Ultras that doesn't have a circular color timer, instead having a V-shaped one. He also has a lot of black in his design, something rare for a good-aligned Ultra |
| 47 | * YourSizeMayVary: In a manner similar to Ginga, Victory's height as an Ultraman tends to bounce around a bit when compared to foreground objects. Once more, [=TsuPro=] would later provide a canonical height for Victory: Micro to ''infinity''. |

| 220 | The BigBad of the series. Dark Lugiel is the mysterious entity behind the Dark Spark War that created the Spark Dolls. He despises Ultraman Ginga and seeks to destroy him for reasons unknown. He owns an enormous collection of Spark Dolls, hiding from our heroes and animating them to carry out his bidding. |
| 221 | ---- |
| 222 | * BeamOWar: His penultimate confrontation with Utraman Ginga is this, which lasts for nearly 2 minutes. He earlier gets into one with Taro, which is mostly tied until Taro gives his energy to a downed Ginga to let the latter fight again. |
| 223 | * BigBad: Of ''Ultraman Ginga'', although his presence is unknown to the main characters. [[spoiler:In ''Ginga S'' he takes this spot from Exceller once he's fully resurrected.]] |
| 224 | * DarkIsEvil: As his name indicates, he embodies darkness and is an evil tyrant bent on making life itself come to a cease forever. |

| 226 | * EvilCounterpart: Of Ultraman Ginga, but reasons are too spoilerific to get into. |
| 227 | * {{Expy}}: With his name, colour scheme, design elements like having visible toes and shoulder spikes and his origin as an EvilCounterpart of Ultraman Ginga possessing a protagonist, he reuses many aspects of Dark Lucifer, the scrapped final boss of ''Series/UltramanNexus''. |
| 228 | * ForcedTransformation: He possesses the ability to turn living beings into Spark Dolls, hoping to turn the entire universe into a place of unchanging stillness by doing so either directly through the Dark Spark or with his beams. |
| 229 | * HeroKiller: Took out almost every single hero in the Franchise/UltraSeries multiverse at the end of the Dark Spark War, defeated Ginga and nearly killed him and was able to match Taro in a fair fight for the most part. [[spoiler:In ''Ginga S'' he easily defeats both Ginga and Victory as Vict Lugiel, turning them into Spark Dolls and their bodies to stone, and it takes a massive group effort with Mana requiring to sacrifice herself after linking herself to his robotic body as Vict Lugiel for him to be defeated.]] |
| 230 | * TheJuggernaut: [[spoiler:As Vict Lugiel he's strong enough to handle both Ginga and Victory with ease, defeating them in one attack in their first true fight and it takes them giving their all with a HeroicSecondWind along with Mana weakening him to finally destroy him.]] |
| 231 | * KnightOfCerebus: Most of the series is rather lighthearted and Dark Lugiel's minions are fairly silly and comedic despite their legitimate threat. Lugiel himself is devoid of any comedic qualities and his appearance shifts the tone towards a more serious situation. [[spoiler:In ''Ginga S'' his resurrection marks the start of the DarkestHour and he temporaily takes out both Ginga and Victory.]] |

| 290 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/exceller.png]] |
| 291 | |
| 292 | -->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakuyaEguchi |
| 293 | The BigBad of ''Ultraman Ginga S'' and the self-proclaimed "Greatest Mind in the Universe". Exceller is an [[Series/UltraSeven Alien Chibu]] who seeks to harness the power of Victorium for mysterious but nefarious purposes that force the Victorians to send Shou to the surface world. He relies on a variety of alien and robot minions to carry out his plans due to his lack of physical power. |
| 294 | ---- |
| 295 | See the Characters/UltraSeven character sheet for tropes applying to the Alien Chibu as a whole |
| 296 | |
| 297 | * BigBad: Of ''Ultraman Ginga S'' as he's the one drawing out the Victorium Crystals from the ground for his evil plans. [[spoiler:Though ends up usurped by Dark Lugiel once the latter is fully resurrected.]] |
| 298 | * BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler:Once Lugiel's mind is revived, he turns Exceller back into a Spark Doll and seizes control of Vict Lugiel for himself.]] |
| 299 | * GratuitousEnglish: He tends to shout in English when he's furious at his lackeys. |
| 300 | * GratuitousFrench: He often refer to his allies as "Monsieur" Vorst, Muerte, Berume, etc. |
| 301 | * InsufferableGenius: Exceller fancies himself as the "Greatest Mind in the Universe", and ''it shows'' through his arrogance towards everyone, including his allies, who he tends to trash-talk behind their backs. |
| 302 | * HateSink: ''Jesus'', this dude is just as bad as Lugiel, and unlike Lugiel, Exceller doesn't have the excuse [[spoiler:of being a LiteralSplitPersonality]] to explain the reasons behind his villainy. He has a massive superiority complex and sees everyone else beneath him. He treats his own minions, including One-Zero like trash especially once [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness everything is all said and done]]. He has caused so much misery throughout ''Ginga S'' all for the sake of power and made Lugiel look inferior. |
| 303 | * {{Jerkass}}: Arrogant to the extreme, abusive to his lackeys, and merciless to his enemies. Exceller cares only for absolute power, hoping that by using the Victorium Crystals, he will become not just the smartest creature in the cosmos, but the strongest. |
| 304 | * MiniMecha: Due to the fact that his species are essentially giant brains with faces and tentacles, he pilots a small mecha called Chibu Loader Strong in order to do things only a humanoid could do. |
| 305 | * NonActionBigBad: Exceller remains on his spaceship near the Moon 95% of the time, sending his various minions to do his dirty work. Justified for as an Alien Chibu, he's physically very weak and only has the brains to come up with schemes for others to carry out, and part of his plan is to gain a body powerful enough to match his mind. When he ''does'' acquire such a body as Five King, he nearly beats Victory and Ginga to death. |
| 306 | * OneWingedAngel: Eventually transforms into Five King to deal with Victory and Ginga personally. |
| 307 | * UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:His spark doll was left inside Vict Lugiel's body and wasn't retrieved after Vict Lugiel's destruction, which doesn't bode well for him.]] |
| 308 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: He likes to deliver this fate to his minions. [[spoiler:[[LaserGuidedKarma Lugiel does this to him in turn]] once the latter has fully resurrected.]] |
| 309 | |

| 312 | |
| 313 | -->'''Played by:''' Moga Mogami |
| 314 | Exceller's second-in-command, an android girl built to act as his Spark Doll-using agent on Earth. |
| 315 | ---- |
| 316 | * CoDragons: With Vorst, as both are Exceller's most important lackeys, command his Chiburoid troopers, and carry out the majority of his Spark Doll-using schemes. [[spoiler:Until her HeelFaceTurn, that is.]] |
| 317 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:She joins UPG about halfway through the series when Exceller sends her on a suicide mission and she takes enough of the alien's general mistreatment of her.]] |
| 318 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Makes sure to weaken Vict Lugiel so Ginga and Victory can defeat him, but at the cost of her life when she perishes in the destruction of Lugiel. Luckily UPG backed up her data to rebuild her]] |
| 319 | * ShockAndAwe: She can shoot lightning from her hands, a variation of the original Alien Chibu android's killer joy buzzer. |
| 320 | * RobotGirl: She's a modernized version of Android Zero-One, another android lackey who had appeared in Alien Chibu's debut episode of ''Series/UltraSeven''. |
| 321 | * WeCanRebuildHim: [[spoiler:UPG managed to back up her data and prepare to restore and rebuild her in TheStinger of the final episode.]] |
| 322 | |
| 323 | !!Alien Guts Vorst |
| 324 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vorst.png]] |
| 325 | |
| 326 | -->'''Voiced by:''' Horii Kaneko |
| 327 | The self-declared "Strongest in Space", Vorst is an [[Series/UltraSeven Alien Guts]] mercenary hired by Exceller to assist Android One-Zero. |
| 328 | ---- |
| 329 | See the Characters/UltraSeven character sheet for tropes applying to the Alien Guts as a whole |
| 330 | |
| 331 | * CoDragons: Alongside Android One-Zero, though Vorst is promoted to a solo Dragon about halfway through the series. |
| 332 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Has a gruff and booming voice. |
| 333 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Vorst has a huge sense of pride, calling himself the strongest person in the universe and referring himself as ''[[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics Ore-Sama]]'' ("my magnificent self"). He will often disobey Exceller's direct orders to do as he pleases thus. |
| 334 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Due to the confusion with "B" and "V" as well as "L" and "R" in the Japanese language, Vorst's name is just as often translated as Bolst. |
| 335 | |
| 336 | !!Alien Zetton Berume |
| 337 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/berume.png]] |
| 338 | |
| 339 | -->'''First Appearance:''' The Resurrection of Lugiel |
| 340 | -->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukiOno |
| 341 | A new alien mercenary hired by Exceller. This Alien Zetton dresses and behaves like a disco artist. |
| 342 | ---- |
| 343 | See Characters/UltramanTVSeries |
| 344 | * DanceBattler: Likes to dance and incorporates some of that style in his fights. |
| 345 | * TheDragon: To Alien Chibu Exceller... Or so he claimed. In reality he actually serves Dark Lugiel and is quick to ditch his servitude to Exceller once Lugiel is close to resurrecting. |
| 346 | * YouShallNotPass: A villainous example. When Hikaru and Shou prepare for a rematch against Vict Lugiel, he leads the remaining Chiburoids and Lugiel's Dark Agents (Icarus, Nackle and Valky) as the Dark Lugiel Rangers to stop them, forcing their allies to clear the coast for them. |
| 347 | |
| 348 | |
| 349 | !!Chiburoids |
| 350 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chiburoid.png]] |
| 351 | |
| 352 | Exceller's robot soldiers who serve as cannon fodder for the villains and are also able to use Spark Dolls. |
| 353 | ---- |
| 354 | * MechaMooks: Their role is to act as expendable and unintelligent footsoldiers for Exceller and his henchmen. |

| 360 | |
| 361 | !!Black King |
| 362 | -->'''First Appearance:''' Town of Falling Stars |
| 363 | The first monster Spark Doll discovered by Hikaru and his friends. Hikaru uses it to battle the enemy whenever Ultraman Ginga isn't available. |
| 364 | ---- |
| 365 | See Characters/ReturnOfUltraman |
| 366 | |
| 367 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Due to the fact that Hikaru and his friends discovered the Spark Doll before any villains got to use it, this is the only series in which Black King is a good guy. |
| 368 | |
| 369 | !!Thunder Darambia |
| 370 | -->'''First Appearance:''' Town of Falling Stars |
| 371 | The first Spark Doll Alien Valky gives out, this one being an electrical version of [[Series/UltramanDyna Neo Darambia]]. He hands it to a pair of sleazy garbagemen who have just been dumping their trash into the forest |
| 372 | ---- |
| 373 | See Characters/UltramanDyna |
| 374 | |
| 375 | * ArtEvolution: Compared to Neo Darambia, Thunder Darambia possesses the five eyes on the basic Darambia, clawed hands, some sort of organ on its chest, and, most distinctly, four electrical rods growing from its back. |
| 376 | * ShockAndAwe: The original Neo Darambia had some electrical powers, but Thunder Darambia is entirely centered around it. It still possesses the shocking hand tentacles of the original, but can also fire lightning bolts from the coils growing on its back. |
| 377 | * StarterVillain: For Ultraman Ginga. |
| 378 | * YourSizeMayVary: Thunder Darambia is only 40 meters tall compared to the 65-meter height of the original Neo Darambia. Justified as many Ultra monsters that appear in this series are not as tall as Neo Darambia (usually 40-50 meters), so Thunder Darambia had to be scaled down to avoid inconsistency. |
| 379 | |
| 380 | !!Kemur-Man |
| 381 | -->'''First Appearance:''' A Midsummer Night's Dream |
| 382 | -->'''Voiced by:''' Koichi Toshima |

| 396 | ---- |
| 397 | See Characters/UltraQ |
| 398 | |
| 399 | * {{Sizeshifter}}: In this series, Ragon possesses the ability to change its size, referencing the human-sized original of ''Series/UltraQ'' and the one that was turned giant by an atomic bomb in ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'' (gaining atomic breath likewise). |
| 400 | |

| 402 | -->'''First Appearance:''' The Hater of Dreams |

| 419 | ---- |
| 420 | See Characters/UltramanTaro |
| 421 | |
| 422 | * OneWingedAngel: Referencing Alien Icarus' ears being part pf Tyrant's composition, this appearance from Tyrant is simply Alien Icarus merging himself with the Spark Dolls of its remaining components to become a monster. |
| 423 | |
| 424 | !!Dark Zagi |
| 425 | -->'''First Appearance:''' Ultraman Ginga Theater Special |
| 426 | The BigBad of ''Series/UltramanNexus'' resurrected by [[spoiler:Dark Lugiel]] to defeat Ultraman Ginga after Alien Icarus' failure as Tyrant. |
| 427 | ---- |
| 428 | See Characters/UltramanNexus |
| 429 | |
| 430 | * VillainDecay: The savage and calculating BigBad of one of the ''Franchise/UltraSeries''' darkest entries is reduced to simply being an expendable minion in this series (though he still maintains his strength and fierceness). |
| 431 | |
| 432 | !!Dark Galberos |
| 433 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dark_galberos.png]] |

| 437 | ---- |
| 438 | See Characters/UltramanNexus |
| 439 | |

| 442 | !!Zaragas |
| 443 | -->'''First Appearance:''' The Stolen Ginga Spark |
| 444 | A Spark Doll given by Gray to an executive from Ichinotani Construction, the company that seeks to build over Furoboshi Elementary School. |
| 445 | ---- |
| 446 | See Characters/UltramanTVSeries |
| 447 | |
| 448 | * MetamorphosisMonster: For the first time since its original appearance, Zaragas displays its adaptation ability, as its user deliberately sheds off the monster's armour to grow huge spines all over its body. |
| 449 | * MythologyGag: The spikes were actually a scrapped concept from Zaragas' debut episode in the original ''Series/{{Ultraman}}''. |
| 450 | * ShockAndAwe: Zaragas has the ability to shoot lightning from its spikes and electrocute those it impales on its spikes in this series. |
| 451 | * SpikesOfDoom: In this series, Zaragas switches out its blinding flashes for long spikes growing from where its bulb sockets usually are. |
| 452 | |
| 453 | !!Red King |
| 454 | -->'''First Appearance:''' The Stolen Ginga Spark |
| 455 | A Spark Doll used by Misuzu to battle Zaragas. |
| 456 | ---- |
| 457 | See Characters/UltramanTVSeries |
| 458 | |
| 459 | * AdaptationalHeroism: While ''Series/UltraGalaxyMegaMonsterBattle NEO'' also featured a Red King fighting the bad guys, that one was used by AntiHero Grande. Here, Red King is used by Misuzu, making this the first true heroic appearance of Red King. |
| 460 | * AdaptationalWimp: However, Misuzu is not experienced with using Spark Dolls to fight, so Red King doesn't do very well against Zaragas. In any other appearance, Zaragas would have been toast. |
| 461 | |
| 462 | !!Antlar |
| 463 | -->'''First Appearance:''' The Jet-Black Ultra Brothers |
| 464 | A Spark Doll given by Gray to the general manager of Ichinotani Construction. |

| 470 | A Spark Doll used by Kenta, Chigusa, and Misuzu to battle Antlar. |
| 471 | ---- |
| 472 | See Characters/UltramanMebius |
| 473 | |
| 474 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Like Black King, this is the only series in which Jashrine is a good guy, due to the fact that Hikaru's grandpa already had the Spark Doll for some reason. |
| 475 | * AdaptationalWimp: Justified as Misuzu, Kenta, and Chigusa were unable to coordinate well enough to make use of Jashrine's powers against Antlar. |
| 476 | |
| 477 | !!Super Grand King |
| 478 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grand_king_0.png]] |
| 479 | |
| 480 | -->'''First Appearance:''' Darkness and Light |
| 481 | A Spark Doll used by Gray himself to battle Ultraman Ginga, the Ultra warriors, and Jean-Nine in one final attempt to destroy the school. It is later resurrected by Yapool in the events of ''Ultra Fight Victory''. This is Grand King's first appearance in a proper series, having debuted in the 1984 movie ''Film/UltramanStory''. |
| 482 | ---- |
| 483 | See Characters/UltramanTaro |
| 484 | |
| 485 | * ArtEvolution: Due to the fact that this is Grand King's first appearance in nearly 30 years, the robot monster is a brighter metallic colour, larger horns and spikes, more detailed legs, a thicker tail, orange eyes and chest patterns, and different arms as described below. |
| 486 | * AttackReflector: Super Grand King can absorb energy through its back and launch the beams from its ChestBlaster. This ability was not present in the original Grand King. |
| 487 | * BackFromTheDead: Yapool revives the monster alongside its original creator Juda in ''Ultra Fight Victory'', turning the monster into Super Grand King Spectre. It's still really friggin' unstoppable. |
| 488 | * ChestBlaster: Another power not present in the original Grand King is Super Grand King's ability to fire a devastating red laser from the orange lines on its chest. This ability was carried onto Maga-Grand King in ''Series/UltramanOrb''. |
| 489 | * RightHandOfDoom: Whereas the original had a drill hand, Super Grand King has a massive pincer to go with its giant claw. When Yapool revives it, the pincer becomes a sword. |

| 499 | ---- |
| 500 | * BreathWeapon: Can breathe a beam of Victorium Energy by charging up the Victorium Crsytal on his back. |
| 501 | * {{Expy}}: In the same way that the Victorians are based on the Underground People from ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'', Shepherdon is based on their monster Telesdon. |
| 502 | * EquippableAlly: As the Shepherdon Sabre, where the monster is transformed into a powerful sword for it's master to wield. |
| 503 | * GentleGiant: It must be emphasized that Shepherdon is a completely peaceful monster that lives in harmony with the Victorians. Its appearance does alarm UPG as the creature comes to the surface to try stop Exceller from pulling Victorium Crystals out of the earth, but the surface-dwelling heroes quickly realize that the monster is on their side. |
| 504 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:During the battle against Velokron and Doragory, Shepherdon pushes Victory out of the way to take Velokron's missiles for the hero, causing the monster to become a Spark Doll for the rest of the series.]] |
| 505 | * PowerCrystal: The source of Shepherdon's abilities is the Victorium Crystal growing on his back. This crystal is 10 times more powerful than a standard Victorium Crystal and possesses healing powers. Naturally, this makes him a target for those seeking immense power like Exceller and Commander Kamiyama of UPG. |
| 506 | * TunnelKing: Being a subterranean monster, Shepherdon can burrow very well. |
| 507 | * UndyingLoyalty: Shepherdon is a devoted ally of Ultraman Victory and Shou, having befriended the Victorian prince when he was a boy. He helps Victory out in the battles against Gudon, Fire Golza, Gan Q, Velokron and Doragory, and Lunatyx and Victory Killer when the odds turn against the hero, even when Shepherdon's own life was potentially at a greater risk as a result. |

Here, the Imperisers are highly expendable cannon fodder, with the heroes being able to destroy legions upon legions of them. |

| 607 | * EyesDoNotBelongThere: In addition to the Gan-Q eye taking up Five King's left hand? The monster also has Melba's eyes on it's forehead and Super C.O.V's on it's belly. But that's what would happen when you comine five monsters into one and add the facial features of all five ''across it's body''. |
| 608 | * GiantFlyer: Borrowed from Melba's wings. |
| 609 | * HandBlast: Its hands are the bodies of Reicubas and Gan Q, allowing it to fire Reicubas' elemental attacks and Gan Q's EyeBeams. |

| 764 | * GoldColoredSuperiority: He's mostly gold and is a powerful enemy capable of defeating even ''Ultraman Noa''. |
| 765 | * IKnowWhatYouFear: His most powerful ability. Etelgar can fire a beam of light from his hands that causes those who look at it to experience their worst fears.

| 772 | * SuperToughness: Was able to survive almost every finishing move thrown at him. Hikaru and Shou had to learn to do their FusionDance Ginga-Victory to even stand a chance. |
| 773 | * WeaponizedTeleportation: Able to fire a purple laser form his eyes and hands that teleports targets. |
| 774 | |

| 781 | ---- |
| 782 | * TheDragon: Serves as Etelgar's main henchwoman while she's brainwashed by her. In the movie she has a LancerVsDragon battle against Series/UltramanCosmos (one of TheLancer duo besides Ultraman Zero) in human form. |

| 784 | * HumanAliens: Her species are shown as such. |
| 785 | * MagicMirror: Etelgar specifically enslaved her due to her species' powers over such. To wit: |
| 786 | ** She carries with her a mirror that fires a golden ray that imprisons its targets inside a floating mirror. This is what Etelgar uses to capture the Ultra heroes. |
| 787 | ** She can summon several mirrors that then fire bolts of energy. |

| 789 | ** She can teleport between reflective surfaces. |
