Ultraseven

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ultraseven_movie_i.png
Suit Actor: Kohji Uenishinote , Voiced by: Kohji Moritsugu
The second hero of the Land of Light (or the first and only in the Heisei continuity), Ultraseven (or Ultra Seven, either is acceptable) was originally sent to map the Milky Way for M78. He found himself attracted to Earth and went there, rescuing a brave man named Jiro Satsuma and taking on the human's form with the alias Dan Moroboshi. He joined Ultra Garrison after assisting them in defeating an invasion force from Alien Cool and would assist them in many adventures. Since his debut, Ultraseven has become an important character in the Ultra Series, possibly even more than the original Ultraman! He was the first Ultra to appear outside his own series when he assisted Jack against Bemstar in Return of Ultraman and later returned as a major character in Ultraman Leo. His biggest contribution to the franchise's history though is probably his son, Ultraman Zero, who would go on to become one of the most powerful heroes in Ultraman history and star in a few movies and several specials.
  • Abnormal Ammo: Shrank down to about an inch high, ran into Furuhashi's BFG, and let Furuhashi fire the next round, all to destroy Crazygon.
  • Action Dad: He's the father to Ultraman Zero, one of the strongest Heisei Ultras.
  • Anatomy Arsenal
    • The Eye Slugger from the top of his head, by itself, with energy, and combined with telekinesis
    • The Emerium Beam lamp from his forehead which also acts as his Colour Timer
    • His L-shaped Wide Shot from his right forearm.
    • His eyes can see invisible aliens.
    • Knife and shuriken-shaped energy blasts from his hands.
    • A spiral beam from an outstretched arm.
  • Badass Cape: By the time Ultraman Mebius came along, the Showa Ultramen back in M-78 began wearing long flowing capes. The change was confirmed in Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends. Seven even flies off to fight Belial wearing it!
  • Cerebus Retcon: In Episode 48, he had nearly run out of energy due to past injuries. Nothing in previous episodes mentioned this but it did give new perspectives to the brutality of the many fights he got involved into.
  • Dented Iron: As noted above all of his previous battles caught up with him and he was in terrible shape by the end of the series, to the point that his superior urges him to abandon Earth and recover out of concern for his life.
  • Evil Doppelgänger: Robot Ultraseven which was built by the Salomes, Delusion Ultraseven in Ultraman 80 made by the Minus Energy, Dark Seven in Ultraman Ginga.
  • Heroic Safe Mode: In Ultraman Leo, after losing the ability to transform, he became focused on the mission and on training Gen, not on himself or collateral damage.
  • Humanoid Aliens: Like all Ultramen, he has a human-shaped body and is a descendant of a human-like alien race.
  • Iconic Sequel Character: Ultraseven has come to be one of the most popular characters of the Ultra Series thanks to his series' massive ratings and well-received quality, as such Seven has had many reappearances throughout the franchise, such as brief episodic returns in Return of Ultraman, Ultraman Ace, Ultraman Taro, a major role in Ultraman Leo as Dan Moroboshi, a sort-of cameo in Ultraman 80 in addition to various sequel series such as Heisei Ultraseven and Ultraseven X. It all culminated in him getting a major legacy through his son, Ultraman Zero, and still getting the chance to reappear and shine afterwards. Even today, Ultraseven gets as much if not more homages than the original Ultraman, firmly cementing him as one of the most iconic characters of the franchise.
  • Impossibly Cool Weapon: The Eye Slugger is a weapon located in his head crest, which he can employ as a Battle Boomerang that he can manipulate through telekinesis.
  • Improbable Weapon User: In addition to his vast arsenal he himself can become a weapon such as when he was shrunk to size and was shot out of Furuhashi's gun to defeat Crazygon as a living bullet.
  • Kryptonite Factor: Extreme cold temperatures weaken him to the point of hindering his strength. Also, he can run out of energy if he overexerts himself without recharging or long periods of rest.
  • Messianic Archetype: Played out uniquely. He fights to end the flaws and feuds the humans and creatures often that the Garrison has resolved, and protects the people of earth with his own life before others. Fittingly, he's been shown with a Crucified Hero Shot multiple times in the series, whether transformed or not.
  • Nice Guy: He's given hospitable rescues to random civilians out of kindness, is a kind person to his teammates and even shows empathy for some alien invaders or enemies with sympathetic stories.
  • Off with His Head!: Seven's main use for the Eye Slugger was decapitation of his foes, usually after giving them a beating.
  • One Hero, Hold the Weaksauce: He lacked a Color Timer (or a time limit in his true form, for that matter), unlike his predecessor. The fact that the solar panels on his chest and shoulders can collect solar energy as needed made him more powerful in comparison. Somewhat averted because unlike the original Ultraman, he was weakened by extreme cold and could still run out of energy and sustain severe injuries if faced with a powerful enemy. Also unlike the original Ultraman, his injuries stacked up overtime to the point where he was on death's door in the last two episodes, whereas the original was stronger by comparison because he was still fighting fit when he faced his final opponent and only entered death's door due to receiving a fully powered reflected Spacium Beam into his chest.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: Played With. His human disguise is flawless, allowing him to blend in without issue, but other aliens usually have no trouble recognizing Seven for what he really is when he's disguised as Dan even when he hasn't done anything that proves his identity.
  • Precision-Guided Boomerang: How The Eye Slugger behaves, Seven can freely manipulate its direction to hit his intended targets with it.
  • Sizeshifter: From micro-sized to human sized and even several hundred feet, Ultraseven can change size at will depending on the situation or his needs at the time.
  • Super-Strength: Almost on par with Ultraman's, Seven can lift opponents bigger and heavier than himself with ease, and outmuscle big juggernauts.
  • Telekinesis: He is able to levitate kaiju, as well as control the Eye Slugger this way
  • Telepathy: He talked to other aliens this way as well some humans.
  • Teleportation with Drawbacks: Some unknown drawbacks, used in Episode 18.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting/Humanshifting: From human to his M78 form and back
  • Worf Had the Flu: He was severely weakened by the time of Episode 48 against Pandon due to the worsening effects of past injuries acquired throughout the series' many battles.
  • You Are Number 6: Stationary Post Observer # 340, UG member # 7.

Ultraseven's Superior

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sevens_superior.jpg
"You can't change into Ultraseven. It will bleed all your energy. You will really die this time!"

First Appearance: The Ultimate Invasion Pt. 1
Nearing the end of the series, after Ultraseven had accumulated injuries upon injuries as a result of his numerous battles, which are carried over to his human form of Dan Moroboshi, the superior commanding officer of Ultraseven personally arrive, appearing to Dan whom is recuperating in a TDF ward. Intending to bring Ultraseven back to the Land of Light to recover his energy, Seven's Superior strictly forbids him to transform, once more, just as Earth is facing it's deadliest threat in the form of the Ghose Aliens.
  • Ambiguous Situation: Does he really exist? What happened to him after the show? And why didn't Ultraseven bring him up for the five decades or so after the series ended? A 2018 theory actually posits that the Superior is the result of a hallucinating Dan Moroboshi thanks to his cumulative injuries.
  • Art Evolution: The Manga adaptation changed the design of his Eye Slugger to resemble a jagged Mohawk which better differentiated him from Seven, in addition one soft vinyl figurine, based on the same design, gave him blue eyes in place of Seven's yellow ones.
  • Dub Name Change: For some reason, the CINAR English dub gave him a Norwegian-sounding name, Rutler.
  • Dynamic Akimbo: How he's depicted appearing to Ultraseven in a TDF ward.
  • Expy: He's supposed to be another Zoffy, appearing to his subordinate much like the finale of the previous show, with the intentions of bringing Ultraseven back to the Land of Light. But Ultraseven had other ideas.
  • Hero Antagonist: He wanted to prevent Seven's death due to his worsening condition by forbidding him from transforming. Dan disregarded his superior, though.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: Yes, he's actively preventing Ultraseven from transforming himself one last time to save humanity, potentially dooming earth in the process, because Ultraseven could barely sustain the numerous injuries he had accumulated in past battles, and one more transformation could be fatal. Additionally, humans have proven themselves to be reckless and sometimes responsible for kickstarting alien invasions, as seen in the Pegasssa and Nonmalt incident, and whether mankind deserves the protection of the Ultras are now questionable.
  • No Name Given: The original show calls him Seven's Superior. Averted in the dub.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Much like Zoffy before him, he's determined to get his subordinate back to the Land of Light no matter what.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: This particular Ultra have not made any further appearances ever since the series ended, save for a cameo flashback in Ultraman Mebius and the Ultra Brothers. Even Tsuburaya themselves aren't sure what happened to him after the series ended.

    The Ultra Garrison 
The defense team of the series, Ultra Garrison is an elite branch of the Terrestrial Defense Forces (TDF), a worldwide organization established to thwart alien invaders.

As a whole

Dan Moroboshi

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dan_97.jpg
Portrayed by: Kohji Moritsugu, Rob Roy (CINAR dub)
The protagonist and Ultra Garrison's newest recruit, Dan Moroboshi is Ultraseven in a human disguise and can turn back into Ultraseven using the Ultra Eye. He is a friendly but enigmatic person amongst his teammates. He later reappears in Ultraman Leo, where he is the captain of the new defense team MAC.
  • Alien Among Us: Disguised as a human, aware of human's potential for good as well as their hubris and occasional cruelty.
  • All-Loving Hero: Loves the Earth, swore to protect it, and would die fighting for it rather than save his own skin.
  • Awesomeness by Analysis: He had vast previous knowledge of some of his enemies
  • Brought Down to Badass: In Ultraman Leo, when he lost the ability to transform.
  • Changing of the Guard: With Gen Ootori in Ultraman Leo and Masaki Kazamori in Ultraseven Evolution.
  • Character Aged with the Actor: Kohji Moritsugu has played Dan for over fifty years.
  • Doppelgänger: Jiro Satsuma, whom he identifies as a clone. Dan impersonates Masaki Kazamori in the video specials.
  • Friend to All Children: In episode 38, he showed up for Osamu's heart surgery as promised, despite being bloodied and in dire need for hospital care himself after battling against Crazygon.
  • Good-Looking Privates: Played by a former male model, no less.
  • Henshin Hero: The second one from Tsuburaya
  • The Hero: Main character
  • Heroic RRoD: He suffered injury after injury in giant form that eventually affected his human form. His superior warned him not to transform even as Pandon attacked the UG. After he fought Pandon to defeat the first time (and was curb-stomped throughout), he turned back into Dan and collapsed with a head injury, right where the kaijuu had kicked Seven.
  • Honor Before Reason: Will keep a promise to be present during a sick child's surgery ("The brave one") and defend Earth ("The world's greatest invasion"), no matter if he's injured or in mortal danger.
  • Human Aliens: He was a shape-shifting alien who adopted a human identity in honor of a brave man he saved.
  • Human Outside, Alien Inside: No X-rays please, Anne!
  • Love Interest: To Anne.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Jarringly, his personality seems to have become much more harsh in Ultraman Leo, probably due to being unable to transform.
  • Manly Tears: After his defeat to the Gillas Brothers and Alien Magma.
  • Meaningful Name: Moroboshi = many stars
  • Mentor Occupational Hazard: A subversion in Ultraman Leo. He just vanishes instead of dying and goes back to the Land of Light, where he finishes healing his injuries, returning in time as Seven to give Leo one final pep talk before he fights Black Directive's last monster.
  • Morton's Fork: From Episode 48: Save yourself and live or save Earth and die. Dan took a third option.
  • Nice Guy: In general.
  • Non-Human Sidekick: His Capsule Monsters, and Sevengar in Ultraman Leo.
  • Official Couple: With Anne, if Super 8 Ultra Brothers and the last episode of Ultraseven X are to be believed.
    • Using his telekinetic powers in Ultraman Leo left him severely weakened, no doubt due to the same injuries that left him unable to transform.
  • Rock Beats Laser: Leg-twisting twin kaijuu beat hero's Eye Slugger in Ultraman Leo
  • Running Gag: His Ultra Eye gets stolen often.
  • Shapeshifter Mode Lock: The Ultra Eye melted down after the leg injury in his battle vs the Gillas Brothers, so he couldn't transform into giant size again until the trinket was repaired back on M-78.
  • Shell-Shocked Veteran: in Ultraman Leo, Dan is defeated by Alien Magma and the Gillas Brothers, which together with his injuries, his inability to transform, and newfound responsibilities (team captain, mentor to Gen), left him with PTSD. In the first episode, as he's talking to Gen about joining MAC, you can see his Thousand-Yard Stare, staring teary eyed into the distance. Later, tensions escalate between Gen and Dan due to Gen's inexperience and Dan's frustration and impatience.
  • Say My Name: On the receiving end of this. "DAAAAAAAAN"
  • Sixth Ranger: joined the Ultra Garrison last.
  • Spell My Name With An S: Dan Moroboshe?
  • Transformation Trinket: The Ultra Eye, a set of red-rimmed clear goggles.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: Being an alien, he transformed whenever the need arised.

Commander Kaoru Kiriyama

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kiriyama.jpg
Portrayed by: Shoji Nakayama, Jean Fontaine (CINAR dub)
A veteran of countless battles against alien invasions, Commander Kiriyama is a no-nonsense fellow, but also a kindhearted one.

Soga

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/soga.jpg
Portrayed by: Shinsuke Achiha, Marc Denis (CINAR dub)
The best shot on Ultra Garrison and Dan's closest friend on the team. Soga is pretty easygoing most of the time, but not be trifled with on the field.

Shigeru Furuhashi

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/furuhashi.jpg
Portrayed by: Sandayu Dokumamushi (credited as "Iyoshi Ishii"), Dean Hagopian (CINAR dub)
The strongest man on Ultra Garrison. Furuhashi is a tough-looking but friendly man whose skills with a firearm are only outclassed by Soga.
  • Arbitrary Skepticism: In "The Saucers are Coming", complains about Saburo's sighting of flying saucers, dismissing it as a crank call. He, who has seen aliens face-to-face.
  • The Big Guy: His first scene was his exercise routine and The Narrator's description of his capabilities.
  • BFG: Shoots rounds instead of laser beams. Soga carries a similar weapon.
  • Butt-Monkey: Anything can happen to him (possession, injuries, humiliations, etc).
  • Character Aged with the Actor: Ishii played a much older Furuhashi (first as a team captain, like Kiriyama before him, and then as a TDF commander) in the '90s video specials.
  • A Day in the Limelight: "Return to the North!"
  • Expy: Of Arashi. Played by the same actor.
  • My Beloved Smother: In "Fly North!", Mrs. Furuhashi pretends to be ill so her son would visit her in Hokkaido and maybe even quit the Ultra Garrison. Upon hearing this, he went back to work. She then drops by for a visit just as he is about to crash his plane with an airliner thanks to the Kanan aliens.
  • Plucky Comic Relief: His reactions are priceless.

Amagi

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amagi.jpg
Portrayed by: Bin Furuya, Arthur Grosser (CINAR dub)
The strategist of Ultra Garrison. Amagi is extremely intelligent, but also tends to be the most anxious in times of crisis.

Anne Yuri

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/external_contentduckduckgocom_8.png
Portrayed by: Yuriko Hishimi, Jane Woods (CINAR dub)
Dan's love interest, as well as Ultra Garrison's nurse and communications operator. Anne is the youngest and sole female member of Ultra Garrison, but has proven herself to be quite skilled on the field.

Captain Kurata

Portrayed by: Hiroshi Minami
An old friend of Commander Kiriyama from their days as privates in Ultra Garrison, Captain Kurata is stationed on board Ultra Garrison's space station V3, but occasionally joins the Japan-based team on missions.
  • 11th-Hour Ranger: Joins the UG at the end to distract Pandon, allowing Seven to defeat it once and for all.
  • The Ace: He's a badass fighter pilot.
  • Cool Plane: The Station Hawk
  • Friendly Rival: To Kiriyama, whom he respects.
  • Hero Antagonist: Became one in the finale, as Dan's condition caused him to miss the arrival of the Ghose aliens, got himself shot down, and later missed a warning from Space Station V3 that resulted in Amagi's kidnapping and Pandon's first attack. Kurata blamed Dan for everything.
  • Hero of Another Story: He killed one or more Zampa aliens three years before the episode "Terror on the Moon".
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's rude, condescending, impatient, and antagonistic to those he deems incompetent, yet he's the first one to apologize to Dan/Seven (who had clashed with Kurata early in Episode 48) at the end.
  • Revenge: Alien Zampa wants him dead for what happened three years prior to "Terror on the Moon"
  • Secret-Keeper: Found out Dan was Ultraseven at the same time as the UG, and didn't take it well.

    Capsule Monsters 

As a Whole:

A trio of kaiju that Dan releases from small capsules to fight in his stead whenever he is incapable of transforming into Ultraseven for some reason. Although only appearing in a handful of episodes, they've become very popular and often reappear in the Ultra Series alongside their master and other heroes, both human and Ultra.
  • Breakout Character: Miclas and Windam more than Agira, but all three are among the most well-remembered monsters from Ultraseven, even if they only appeared in a total of 7 episodes.
  • Butt-Monkey: They never won any battles and largely served as punching bags for the aliens and monsters until Dan could turn into Ultraseven.
  • Mons: Beating Pokémon by some 20+ years!
  • Sealed Good in a Can: Lived in small capsules that Dan carried in a case. When Dan needed to slow his enemies down, he threw a capsule into the distance and one of these kaiju would appear.
  • Undying Loyalty: To Dan.

Windam

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/windom_movie_ii.png
First Appearance: The Invisible Invader
The first Capsule Monster we're introduced to, Windam is a robotic creature from the planet Metal in M78. Dan used Windam to destroy Alien Cool's spaceship armada and Alien Kanan's lighthouse spaceship, as well as to battle Alien Guts when the bird-like invaders challenged him to battle.

Due to his status as the very first of the Capsule Monsters to appear in the series, Windam has returned many more times in the later entries of the Ultra Series as a steadfast ally of the Ultras and humanity, most prominently in Ultraman Mebius and Ultraman Z.


Miclas

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/miclas_movie.png
First Appearance: The Secret of the Lake
A horned monster from the planet Buffalo in M78. Miclas was first seen when Dan used him to battle Eleking when his Ultra Eye was stolen by the Pitts. Later on, Miclas was brought back to fight the icy monster Gandar when Dan lost his Ultra Eye in the blizzard created by the latter kaiju.

Arguably the most popular of the Capsule Monsters, Miclas has made many reappearances in the Ultra Series, notably in Ultraman Mebius and Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle NEO. In that time, he's been given characterization as timid until riled up by a strong but benevolent master.


Agira

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/agira_lgnds_8.png
First Appearance: The Wandering Planet
A dinosaur-like beast from the planet Animal in M78. Agira was first used to fight the monster Rigger when Dan discovered that the Ultra Eye couldn't work in its asteroid's magnetic field, and was later pitted against the Salome aliens' Robot Ultraseven while Dan went to retrieve the Ultra Eye that the invaders had separated him from.

Agira is not as popular as Miclas and Windam, and as a result, he is the least frequently reappearing of the Capsule Monsters, having been absent in most series that feature the other two. That said, he hasn't been totally forgotten and still has made a few reappearances to date.


    Monsters and Aliens 

Alien Cool

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alien_cool.png
First Appearance: The Invisible Invader
Voiced by: Koji Yada
An alien invader who kidnapped humans by using his invisible spaceship and demanded that Earth submit to his control in exchange for the hostages. When Earth refused to accept the deal, he sent his invasion fleet to decimate Japan. Fortunately for the world, Ultraseven had arrived on the planet just a while before, now in the form of Dan Moroboshi and having his first encounter with Ultra Garrison.

Alien Wyann

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ultrsvn_aln_wyn.png
First Appearance: The Green Terror
Voiced by: Asao Matsumoto (also human form actor)
A vampiric plant-like alien that kidnapped an Ultra Garrison member named Ishiguro and impersonated him by using a mineral called Tilsonite 808. The alien would then transform into his true form every night to feed on blood, turning victims into more of his kind.

Alien Pitt

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alienpitt.jpg
First Appearance: The Secret of the Lake
Voiced by: Reiko Takahashi (also human form actor of both)
A pair of aliens who disguised themselves as playful twin girls, bring the monster Eleking with them. They placed its tadpole form in a lake for safekeeping and then stole Dan's Ultra Eye to ensure Ultraseven could not stand in the way of Eleking. Since then, the Pitts have made a few more appearances in the Ultra Series, and almost always in association with Eleking.

Eleking

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eleking.png
First Appearance: The Secret of the Lake
An electric eel-based monster used by the Pitts as their weapon to conquer Earth. The alien girls hid the monster's tadpole form in a lake near their ship until the creature was ready to come out in its towering adult form and rampage across the countryside.

Eleking is one of Ultraseven's most recognizable foes, thus among the most popular monsters in the Ultra Series. Thus, he makes numerous appearances in the later entries of the franchise, including a heroic one in Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle.


  • Aim for the Horn: Has both horns blated off by Ultraseven's Emerium Ray.
  • Attack the Tail: Miclas attempts this when fighting Eleking, only to fall victim to Eleking's electrified tail. And in the penultimate battle, Ultraseven severs Eleking's tail besides decapitating it.
  • Breakout Character: Has appeared in nearly every entry of the Ultra Series in some form since returning in Ultraman Max. He's also been on the side of the Ultramen and Rei's Gomora in several incarnations too!
  • Breath Weapon: Generally spits out a series of electrical disks, but later series have given him some additional ones.
  • Eyeless Face: Has two rotating antenna where most monsters usually have eyes.
  • Gigantic Adults, Tiny Babies: Eleking's juvenile tadpole form is small enough to be carried by hand from it's owners, the human-sized Pitt Aliens, before it gets enlarged into a massive monster. This ability is carried over when it gets reintroduced years later in Ultraman Max.
  • Meaningful Name: It's a combination of "electric" and "king".
  • Metamorphosis Monster: Begins as a tadpole-like creature small enough to fit in a human hand before eventually growing into a bipedal salamander/electric eel monster standing 55 meters tall.
  • Off with His Head!: Ultraseven kills him this way.
  • Pet Monstrosity: Of the Pitts.
  • Prehensile Tail: A very long one for wrapping around enemies and shocking them to death.
  • Psycho Electric Eel: Is meant to resemble a mix of an electric eel and a typical kaiju.
  • Shock and Awe: His element, which allows him to spit various electrical attacks from his mouth, as well as shock opponents by touching them.

Alien Godola

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/godola_new.jpg
First Appearance: Respond, Max!
Voiced by: Kyoji Kobayashi
Dastardly aliens who used an anti-gravity field to abduct ships at sea, capturing an Ultra Garrison investigation crew. They also attempted to destroy Ultra Garrison headquarters with a bomb and stole Dan's Ultra Eye in order to do it without opposition. The Alien Godola have since made a few reappearances in the Ultra Series, notably in the Heisei Ultraseven,Ultraman Geed, and Ultraman Taiga.
  • Breakout Villain: While not to the extent of Alien Metron or Alien Guts, the Alien Godola have proven to be a fairly popular foe, making multiple appearances in other entries of the Ultra Series.
  • Dirty Coward: One of them runs off in the middle of the fight with Ultraseven!
    • Averted with the female Alien Godola, who states that she's willing to die in the explosion as long as it takes the Ultra Garrison with her and ensures her people's plan works.
  • Dub Name Change: Correlans in the English dub.
  • Gravity Master: Uses anti-gravity to abduct ships.
  • Improbable Aiming Skills: The one who stole the Ultra Eye shot Dan's gun out of his hand.
  • Insectoid Aliens: Sorta reminiscent of Alien Baltan or Alien Temperor, but according to supplementary sources, they're plants.
  • Mad Bomber: The agent was willing to be killed when her explosive went off!
  • Plant Aliens: According to supplementary sources.
  • Power Pincers: Able to shoot various types of laser bolts from their pincers, including one able to form prison capsules around enemies.
  • Spell My Name With An S: Godola and Godora have been used.
  • Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Uses this to steal Dan's Ultra Eye in disguise.

Alien Bira

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bira_i.png
First Appearance: The Erased Time
Voiced by: Mahito Tsujimura
Alien invaders who froze time to mind control Ultra Garrison scientist Dr. Yushima, making him their minion and sending him to sabotage Ultra Garrison headquarters, for which they pinned the blame on Dan being a double agent in order to launch their attack without any opposition from Ultraseven.

Alien Pegassa

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pegassa_5_5.jpg
First Appearance: Dark Zone
Voiced by: Junichi Higasa
Aliens who built a utopian space city that ended up on a collision course with Earth when its power supply malfunctioned. One came to Ultra Garrison headquarters to request that humanity adjust Earth's orbit, or his people would be forced to blow up the planet. Meanwhile, Ultra Garrison was planning to destroy the Pegassa's space city too, hoping that the aliens would receive their warnings to evacuate.

Alien Pegassa was brought back in the Heisei Ultraseven series, but more notably, an individual named Pega appears as one of the main characters of Ultraman Geed and the best friend of the eponymous hero's human identity.


  • Anti-Villain: Although very condescending to more primitive species, they were just wanting to protect their doomed city.
  • Casting a Shadow: Showed the ability to cloak himself in shadows.
  • Last Villain Stand: A tragic example. The Pegassa on Earth sets up a bomb to destroy the planet to save his people. When Dan arrives he informs him he's too late, his people and city are gone. Enraged by this he decides to set off the bomb anyway to avenge them. Interestingly unlike most examples of this trope the Pegassa lives in the end, getting out of there after Dan becomes Ultraseven.
  • Nuke 'em: Pegassa City was destroyed with a nuclear missile before it could collide with Earth. Unfortunately it killed most of the Pegassans, as they underestimated the damage it could do. A few were able to escape and settled on the planet.
  • The Right of a Superior Species: They believed humans were best destroyed when learning that they were incapable of changing their planet's orbit. The Pegassan on Earth tried to detonate the planet so that Pegassa City would survive.
  • Too Clever by Half: Clever enough to save themselves after their planet was destroyed, clever enough to build a floating space city and manufacture everything they needed (even air), but naive or arrogant in their belief the people of Earth are willing or able to shift the planet's orbit.
  • Villain: Exit, Stage Left: The Pegassa that fought Seven ran into the night after failing to blow up the Earth.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: They simply wanted to save their skins from total destruction even if it meant blowing up Earth!
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: The original one ran off, never to be seen again. More memebers of species did return in an episode in the Heisei series, which revealed other Pegassans survived and now live on Earth. They have split into two groups, debating whether to live amongst the humans or avenge Pegassa City's destruction.
  • What Measure Is a Non-Human?: A major element of them was the moral dilemma between blowing up Pegassa City or risking the destruction of both the planet and the city.

Alien Quraso

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/quraso.png
First Appearance: Alien Prisoner 303
A homicidal maniac from a distant world who came to Earth to escape his planet's lawmen. There, he made a life out of murdering humans and guzzling down any available gasoline he could find, which ended up attracting the attention of Ultra Garrison.
  • Aliens Are Bastards: A rare aversion here. The Quraso race themselves are not bad or even the problem of the episode, it’s one dangerous criminal from their planet. The Quraso race themselves even sent a warning to the Ultra Garrison about the criminal. It’s one of the rare times an episode ends with Ultra Garrison on good terms with an alien race.
  • Ax-Crazy: A serial killer from an alien planet.
  • Breath Weapon: A stream of fire.
  • Bizarre Alien Biology: Can drink gasoline with no ill effects!
  • Dirty Coward: He loves murdering but at the same time often attempts to run away the second anyone could fight back comes along. It’s also implied in his final moments, he’s crying for mercy before he explodes.
  • Karmic Death: Attempted to escape using the Ultra Hawk 1, but crashed the plane and burned to death, crying and begging for mercy. Dan even Lampshades it with a short speech.
  • Kill It with Fire: Yes, the fire-breathing, gas-guzzling alien is burned to death from crashing a plane in an escape attempt.
  • Logical Weakness: An alien who drinks a lot of gasoline is naturally explosive.
  • Mind Control: Able to release a flash from his forehead that puts people who see it under his control, which he uses to hold a family hostage and later get Anne to drive him to Ultra Garrison base.
  • Nothing Is Scarier: For most of the episode, it plays out like murder mystery with the alien only being shown in parts and his exact identity left ambiguous until later.
  • Serial Killer: Stated to have been a serial killer on his home planet before coming to earth where he continues his murder spree.
  • Spell My Name With An S: Kyuraso or Quraso?

Alien Metron

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/metron_classic_8.png
First Appearance: The Targeted Town

An alien invader who disguised himself as a cigarette deliveryman in order to place tiny red crystals inside cigarettes from vending machines all around the town of Kitagawa, causing anyone who smoked those cigarettes to go temporarily insane and attack others in brief but violent rampages.

Alien Metron is one of the most iconic aliens in the Ultra Series, with his strange appearance, sunset battle with Ultraseven, and friendly coffee table chat with Dan making him incredibly recognizable in Japan. Thus, Metron has made him numerous reappearances in the franchise against many new generations of Ultra heroes.


  • Affably Evil: Very friendly and polite to the point of having a cup of tea with the characters.
  • The Anticipator: His jovial welcome to Dan: "Welcome, UltraSeven. I've been expecting you."
  • Breakout Villain: Quickly became one of the most popular aliens in the show. The famous coffee table discussion scene in his debut borders on Memetic Mutation in Japan.
  • Dub Name Change: The Kiirlons in the CINAR English dub.
  • Friendly Enemy: He happily reveals his plans to spread his hate plague while treating Dan to tea and playing rock paper scissors with him.
  • Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: Most certainly of the evil variety as he uses cigarettes to turn humans to violence.
  • Half the Man He Used to Be: In Seven, as well as Ace.
  • Hate Plague: He plants little crystals inside cigarettes that makes people go crazy.
  • Meaningful Name: "Metron" comes from "metro", referring to his underground scheme to conquer Earth.
  • No Mouth: Has a series of yellow patches that flashes when he talks!
  • Paper Tiger: Warns Seven to stay out of their business claiming they don’t want to kill another alien. In truth, they stood no chance against Ultraseven and immediately attempt to retreat the second Dan transforms.
  • Starfish Aliens: Meant to resemble an upright shellfish of some sort.

Alien Chibu

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alien_chibu_ginga_s_5.png
First Appearance: Android Zero Directive
Portrayed by: Kenjiro Uemura (human form actor)
An alien who disguised himself as an elderly toymaker to make disturbingly realistic toy weapons and little badges for children while sending his Android Zero-One to assassinate Dan. He intended to use the badges to receive radio waves of his that would mind control children into soldiers that would kill all the adults on Earth.

Although Alien Chibu is not considered one of Ultraseven's most iconic foes, an individual of the species named Exceller surprisingly appeared as the Big Bad of Ultraman Ginga S.


  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: When the Ultra Garrison first meets him he seems like a kindly old man handing out toys to children, but in truth, he’s an evil alien invader who isn’t above using Child Soldiers.
  • Brain Monster: His true form is one with tentacles.
  • Child Soldiers: Plans to brainwash a large portion of the children in the city to use them as soldiers to conquer the earth.
  • Meaningful Name: "Chibu" comes from the Okinawan dialect for "head", referencing how his true form's a giant brain with a face and tentacles.
  • Mind Control: Essentially how he'll take over the world — by turning kids into child soldiers with it.
  • My Brain Is Big: It's more than half of his body!
  • My Little Panzer: Dangerously realistic toy weapons are his choice of weapon, complete with tiny tanks and planes to shoot people.
  • Spell My Name With An S: Chibull, Chibu, Chiburu?
  • Starfish Aliens: His normal form, a brain with a face and tentacles.

First Appearance: Android Zero Directive
Portrayed by: Yukiko Kobayashi

During an early attempt, she mistook Furuhashi for Dan, almost killing him and leading Ultra Garrison to investigate for her motives and eventually uncover Alien Chibu's plan.

Alien Icarus

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/icary.JPG
First Appearance: The Suspicious Neighbour
Portrayed by: Ren Yamamoto (human form actor)
An alien who disguised himself as a human and moved into a house to work on a piece of technology that would allow his homeworld's troops to get to Earth through another dimension, only to be spotted by a boy next door whose suspicions of his neighbour led to Ultra Garrison discovering his invasion plot. Alien Icarus has reappeared a few times since then, notably as an antagonist in Ultraman Ginga.
  • Badass in a Nice Suit: Its human form rocks a two-piece suit with a turtleneck.
  • Bat Out of Hell: An evil alien invader who resembles a bat.
  • Bizarre Alien Biology: Hairless body of an elephant, ears of a bat, head of a bat/rat, hair on top, a low-pitched growl...
  • Dub Name Change: To a Kyalian in English.
  • Phantom Zone: The Fourth Dimension, which his species planned to use as a shortcut to invading Earth.
  • Pointy Ears: Like those of a bat. They're also capable of firing hailstorms of energy needles.
  • Spanner in the Works: His plan probably would have gone off without a hitch it wasn’t for a little kid noticing his strange activities.
  • Teleport Spam: Uses a short-distance of this briefly during the battle with Ultraseven.

Alien Wild

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wild_new.jpg
First Appearance: Fly to the Mountain of Evil
Voiced by: Eiji Maruyama
A yeti-like extraterrestrial who came to Earth in order to help his species gain eternal youth. To this end, he used a camera that trapped the souls of humans in its film whenever it took a picture of the victims, managing to "kill" Dan Moroboshi with it.

Narse

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/narse_i.png
First Appearance: Fly to the Mountain of Evil
A robotic dragon able to transform into a flying saucer, and used by Alien Wild as his ride to Earth. He stored Narse within his mountain lair until his plans were foiled by Ultra Garrison, forcing him to call out the robot to destroy Ultra Garrison and flee Earth.

Narse would later reappear in Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends under control of Alien Zetton, attempting to crush the Pendragon with his coils and battling Ultraman Dyna.


Alien Spell

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alienspell.jpg
First Appearance: From Another Planet with Love
Aliens who came to Earth in search of the blood of young women to cure their radiation sickness after having devastated their homeworld through nuclear war. One was sent to sell watches that drained victims of their blood, while he dated a friend of Anne named Sanae. But when Sanae's little brother tried a watch, the aliens discovered that children's blood was even better!

However, this alien is better known for being in "The Banned Episode", as an atomic bomb survivor pointed out the terrible discrimination faced by bomb survivors in Japanese society. DVD releases won't include the episode either (it was featured on the CINAR dub though), so we likely won't being seeing this alien in a very long time.


Alien Iyros

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iyros2.jpg
First Appearance: The Man from V3
Voiced by: Koji Yada
An alien who made an unprovoked attack Ultra Garrison's space station V3 and hid on Earth when pursued by the space station's Captain Kurata. He kidnapped Furuhashi and Amagi, creating clones of them as spies, and made incessant demands to Ultra Garrison for fuel to be able to leave in peace.
  • Ambiguous Situation: Is the "Iyros" Seven fights the actual Alien Iyros, the unnamed monster minion to Invisible Aliens, or the result of unseen aliens taking on a One-Winged Angel form? Preliminary scripts have Iyros as a monster, whilst Narita designed Iyros to be a monster that blurs the line between alien and kaiju, further complicating things.
  • Breath Weapon: A series of small energy bolts.
  • Capture and Replicate: Captured Amagi and Furuhashi, sending duplicates to the UG base to steal fuel, possibly blow the base up.
  • I Lied: Oh, he never planned on leaving Earth in peace once given the spaceship supplies.
  • Meaningful Name: Named after Aeschylus, a Greek tragedian.
  • Spin Attack: Can spin his body very quickly to deflect attacks.
  • Starfish Aliens: Played with a rubber suit, but nowhere near humanoid.

King Joe

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/king_j0e.png
First Appearance: The Ultra Garrison Goes West Pt. 1
The Pedans' ultimate war machine, sent to Earth in the form of four spaceships to attack an important international meeting in Japan. King Joe's strength was so great that it easily defeated Ultraseven, leaving Ultra Garrison to figure out how to bypass the robot's nigh-invincible Pedanium plating.

King Joe is one of the most iconic and popular robots in the Ultra Series, and has made numerous reappearances in other entries of the franchise, often as a servant to the Pedan, but sometimes under other aliens' control. He has also received an incredibly powerful arm cannon in several incarnations, beginning with Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle.


  • Achilles' Heel: Being made of Pedanium, he's vulnerable to a certain type of chemical.
  • A.I. Is a Crapshoot: In the Heisei series, Ultra Garrison rebuilds him as an Earth defender. It still remembers its original purpose.
  • Barrier Warrior: Displayed the ability to coat itself in an electrical force field that serves not only to block energy rays, but zap enemies.
  • Breakout Villain: Has appeared in nearly every entry of the Ultra Series since returning in Ultraman Max.
  • Combining Mecha: Made from four spaceships that are capable of separating and combining at will, even in the middle of a fight to dodge attacks.
  • Cyber Cyclops: The single glowing visor which serve as King Joe's optic sensor is its sole "eye", though the two circles and T-shape below the sensor could also be construed as a face that averts this.
  • Dragon-in-Chief: To the Pedans — a trait that has been carried in most of his later appearances. While the Pedans themselves are hardly a threat to an Ultra, King Joe is their trump card.
  • Dragon Their Feet: In the Heisei continuity. After being rebuilt, it remembers its original purpose and continues its late creators' mission.
  • Eye Beams: Has this ability (called the Dest Ray), though he usually prefers to just use his own two fists. Given how tough he is, it's excusable.
  • Humongous Mecha: A gigantic robot, and the most famous one in the Ultra Series.
  • Implacable Man: His armour makes him nearly unkillable except when hit by the most powerful attacks.
  • The Juggernaut: Huge, slow, but nearly unstoppable. Exaggerated when equipped with the arm cannon, which actually killed other monsters in a single shot.
  • Tuckerization: Named after Tetsuo Kinjo, a friend of Eiji Tsuburaya and head writer for Ultraseven and Ultraman (with some work on Ultra Q).
  • The Worf Effect: Absolutely pummels Ultraseven in the first fight. It tends to be a recurring trait for him in many other appearances, notably Ultra Galaxy.

Alien Pedan

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ultr_glxy_aln_pndn.png
First Appearance: The Ultra Garrison Goes West Pt. 1
Portrayed by: Shun Yashiro, Hiroshi Tanabe (voices), Linda Hardisty (Dorothy Anderson impersonator)
A race of aliens who declared war on Earth when a Terrestrial Defense Forces satellite visiting their planet was mistaken for a weapon. They launched their assault by sending an assassin disguised an American TDF agent - Dorothy Anderson - to kill all foreigners on Japanese soil, as well as calling in their robot King Joe to battle Ultraseven.

The Pedans have only appeared a few times in the Ultra Series since their debut, but one of their more notable ones would have to be in Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle NEO, where a group of them were one of the main antagonistic factions, albeit well-intentioned.


  • Dub Name Change: They become the Rodanians in the CINAR dub.
  • Human Aliens: Though not seen beyond the Anderson double, they are revealed to be such in Ultra Galaxy.
  • Humans Are the Real Monsters: If humans hadn't visited the Pedan planet without warning, the whole crisis would have never happened... But since the Pedan leader revealed they always had plans to invade Earth anyway it renders their moral high ground null and void.
  • I Lied: Seriously, Fake Anderson? You flat-out promised alien-on-alien with Dan not to invade Earth, and now you call for the invasion fleet!
  • Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: This is what the Alien Pedan truly are. They are first introduced attacking the Earth and sending King Joe to attack Ultraseven. When Dan confronts Fake Dorothy, they claim that they wouldn’t have invaded if it weren’t for the satellite. Dan shows sympathy and makes an alien-to-alien peace deal with the Pedans, which they appear to accept. The Pedans reveal they never had any intentions for peace by not only flat-out lying to Dan, but reveal they were always interested in conquering Earth anyway.
  • Jerkass: Even if Earth unintentionally started the war in the first place, the Pedans aren't exactly a friendly people as seen in the later series; they're basically warmongering imperialists and they were already planning to conquer our planet so they don't even have a true excuse.
  • Sinister Silhouettes: The two Pedanian representatives controlling King Joe were never fully seen, spending the entirety of their screentime obscured in the shadows.

Annon

First Appearance: Eyes Shining in the Darkness
Voiced by: Shinji Nakae

  • Brown Note: In eyeball form, Annon can create a high frequency sound to give others agonizing migraines.
  • Eye Beams: His power in rock monster form.
  • Faceless Eye: His normal form.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: After being beaten by Ultraseven and being told that humanity did not mean to hurt his people he decides to just leave.
  • Non-Malicious Monster: He never wanted to conquer Earth or destroy cities, he just wanted to tell humanity to leave him alone.
  • Rock Monster: An interesting example as the monster is normally a hollow shell, but Annon needs it to be able to make contact with the physical world.

U-Tom

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ultrsvn_utm.png
First Appearance: Underground: Go! Go! Go!
A mysterious class of robots that guard an abandoned subterranean city and its seismic machine. Ultra Garrison ran into them when they had to rescue a miner trapped underground by the earthquakes created by the enigmatic underground city.

  • Ambiguous Situation: What exactly is their backstory? Are they aliens or an ancient underground civilization?
  • Arm Cannon: Their weapon.
  • The Blank: Just a series of gears instead of a face.
  • Mighty Glacier: Armed with a powerful laser gun and a sledgehammer hand strong enough to smash rocks, but incredibly slow and lumbering.
  • Tin-Can Robot: What they are essentially.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alien_bell.png
First Appearance: Escape Space X
A cicada-like alien who trapped Soga and Amagi in an alien jungle realm called Space X to let them die lost and confused. In the meantime, he focused on tormenting Dan and Ultra Garrison with his agonizing bell-like cries whenever they tried to contact their vanished teammates.
  • Ambiguous Situation: The clear shell on his back is identical in appearance to Gumonga, suggesting some correlation, but the exact relationship between them is unknown.
  • Brown Note: His cicada-like noises are harmful, even to Dan's alien ears.
  • Cicadian Rhythm: His whole gimmick.
  • Dimension Lord: He creates Space X as a place for him to torment those unlucky enough to enter it.
  • Doppelgänger Spin: Like Alien Baltan, he can create illusions of himself.
  • Dub Name Change: Gigee (pronounced "gy-jee") in English.
  • For the Evulz: Unlike most alien invaders he doesn’t really seem to have a motive except for being killing people on an island for no reason.
  • Insectoid Aliens: Resembles a humanoid cicada.
  • Meaningful Name: Named after the chiming noise he makes.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: Ultraseven kills him by shoving him into a lake, where the water dissolves him.

First Appearance: Escape Space X
When Soga first woke up in Space X, he was attacked by these strange extraterrestrial parasites, which latched onto his body in an attempt to get at his blood. He killed them pretty quickly though.
  • Big Creepy-Crawlies: Regular-sized ticks are microscopic in size and are already a nuisance, but ticks the size of fists?
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Only appear for a single scene as a minor nuisance and have never been brought up again since.

Sunflan

Voiced by: Ryuji Saikachi
A ruthless race of aliens who had destroyed all life on Pluto thousands of years ago and now wanted to do the same to Earth. However, the Terrestrial Defense Forces had set up a powerful force field around Earth called Project Blue, so the aliens kidnapped the project’s head, Dr. Miyabe, to gain the plans for the shield.
  • Blood from the Mouth: Upon his demise.
  • Combat Pragmatist: The head Bado was shown to be a dirty fighter, using all sorts of underhanded tactics from pretending to surrender to knuckle spikes.

  • Pluto Is Expendable: Claims to have destroyed all life on Pluto thousands of years ago.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: For the self-proclaimed emperors of the universe they seem like any other invading force. The Space Garrison has little trouble clearing them out and the leader's battle with Ultraseven is less than impressive. Plus someone else has the better claim to the title to Emperor of the universe.
  • Tom the Dark Lord: Wayne, Lord of the Universe in the dub.

Alien Shaplay

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shap.png
First Appearance: Destroy Epicenter X
Portrayed by: Takashi Kitahara (human form actor)
An alien who came to Earth in search of a mineral from the center of the world called Ultonium. He disguised himself as Dr. Sakai, the cheerful assistant of a crabby old seismologist named Dr. Iwamura to keep Ultra Garrison busy while they investigated the activities of his monster Giladorus.

Despite being one of Ultraseven's more obscure foes, Alien Shaplay has made a surprising number of reappearances against the Ultras and their allies in the Ultra Series, beginning with the movie Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends.


  • Affably Evil: Dr. Iwamura (human) may be a big jerk, but his assistant (evil alien) is not.
  • Badass in a Nice Suit: He's a sharp dresser, too.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Disguised as a friendly, young scientist. Nobody would have guessed he was the alien.

  • Dub Name Change: The CINAR dub calls him Raveen of Mesmeras.
  • Greed: He’s not invading like most aliens but taking a rare substance called Ultonium from the core. He still just as evil considering that his mining operation could destroy the entire world.

Alien Shadow

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shadow_new.jpg
First Appearance: Seaching for Tomorrow
Voiced by: Koichi Ueda (male individuals), Mariko Oshima (female individuals)
A group of alien invaders with the ability to turn invisible. They attempted to kill an old fortune teller named Yasui who had predicted their invasion plans with his crystal ball and sought to tell Ultra Garrison about the forecoming invasion.

The Shadow aliens also appear as major characters in Ultraman Geed, albeit without Gabura and with a new monster called Zegan. An individual named Zena is also one of the main allies of the title hero in the show.


  • The Faceless: They wear masks that may or may not present what they look like underneath. However, by Ultraman Geed, it's implied the mask is their actual face.
  • I Surrender, Suckers: Pulls this off twice, first when their ship is taken out of the sky and the 2nd when the monster seemingly killed.
  • Invisibility: They used this ability to prevent Ultra Garrison from noticing their plans.

First Appearance: Super Weapon R-1
A bird-like alien that was mutated into a giant monster when the Terrestrial Defense Forces conducted a test of their new planet-destroying nuclear superweapon R-1 on his homeworld, not realizing the planet was inhabited. As the sole survivor of its planet's destruction, it flew to Earth to destroy Ultra Garrison for what they had done.

For a while, it was believed that, much like the aforementioned Alien Spell, this monster was effectively Exiled from Continuity due to controversy surrounding its episode (which was removed from circulation following the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, as said episode revolved around nuclear deterrents). However, these fears seem to have been baseless, as it returned in Ultraman Geed, and the episode was shown for the 55th Anniversary airing on the series on YouTube.

  • Not Quite Dead: Despite being burned down to a skeleton he gets back up but Aoki takes him down before he can do anything else.

First Appearance: The Seven Assassination Plan Pt. 1
A race of bird-faced aliens who prepared for world domination through studying Ultraseven's battle tactics by siccing Arlon on the hero. They then demanded that Ultraseven face them, and when Dan accepted the challenge, the invaders imprisoned him in a glass crucifix and announced to the world that Ultraseven would be executed at dawn, placing Ultra Garrison in a race against time to save the world.

Alien Guts has since become one of the most iconic aliens in the Ultra Series, making numerous reappearances. They are often shown working in alliances or controlling monsters but are always intimidating foes, due to the events of their original appearance.


  • The Anticipator: "At last you turned into Seven. We've been expecting you."
  • Badass Boast: Their first words to Dan were, paraphrasing, "We are the invincible, never defeated in battle, Guts Aliens!"
  • Bird People: Resemble featherless anthropomorphic parrots.
  • Breakout Villain: Alien Guts is one of the most popular extraterrestrial antagonists in the franchise and whenever he reappears, you can expect him to be an important villain due to his status as one of Ultraseven's most dangerous enemies.

  • Spell My Name With An S: Gutz and Gutts are also used.

  • Does This Remind You of Anything?: Although western viewers my be inclined to think of the Native Americans, the backstory of the Nonmalts was based on Okinawan writer Tetsuo Kinjo's own experiences with the repression of the people of the Ryukyu Islands by the imperial Japanese government in World War 2.
  • Dub Name Change: The Tomatans.
  • Humans Are the Real Monsters: IF the Nonmalts were telling the truth, then humans are really invaders from another planet.
  • Ultraterrestrials: If what Shinichi (the eponymous envoy) said was true, then the Nonmalts are the original inhabitants of Earth.
  • Unreliable Narrator: A major point of the story is whether the Nonmalts were really the original Earthlings or aliens spouting crap to justify their invasion. It's revealed that they weren't lying in the Heisei series.

  • Creepy Child: His human disguise.
  • Creepy High-Pitched Voice: In his true form, his voice is Hikaru Urano's baritone pitched up.

Ultraseven managed to slice off one of its arms and one of its legs, but was critically wounded in the battle. Worse still, the Ghose retrieved Pandon's body and replaced its missing limbs with cybernetic ones, creating Reconstructed Pandon.

Remembered as one of Ultraseven's most dangerous foes, Pandon is a popular choice for Ultra Series reappearances due to its sheer popularity and recognizability. It is also worth noting that later incarnations of the monster have often been depicted with two heads on two necks as opposed to the original two-headed, one-necked creature.


  • An Arm and a Leg: Seven chops one of each off, but the Ghose give him new ones, durable enough to actually catch the Eye Slugger without injurynote .

  • Black Bead Eyes: He has a comically small pair of black eyes on both of his heads, though they're not clearly visible in the show.
  • Breakout Villain: Pandon is one of Ultraseven's most popular foes due to his sheer strength, and has received numerous reappearances and redesigns for it.
  • Breath Weapon: Two streams of fire. Later incarnations added energy beams too, one red and one blue.
  • Cyborg: As Reconstructed Pandon, it has a mechanical arm and a mechanical leg.
  • Dub Name Change: A Winser Fire-Beather in the CINAR dub.
  • Meaningful Name: Pandon is named after Pandora of Greek mythology, as he first comes out of a large box-like object (Pandora's Box!) to bring pain and suffering into the world.
  • Multiple Head Case / Two-Faced: Two heads. The original one had one neck while many of the later incarnations had two, separating the heads. The concept art had it as a two-headed, two-necked monster as well, but it was changed because there was trouble operating both heads on the suit.
  • Off with His Head!: Seven finally finishes him off with an Eye Slugger that decapitates him.
  • Pet Monstrosity: Of the Ghose.
  • Playing with Fire: Two streams of flame are better than one!

  • We Can Rebuild Him: What the Ghose did with him.
  • The Worf Effect: Pummels Ultraseven tirelessly, but...
    • Worf Had the Flu: This was mostly because Seven was far too injured to fight. He couldn't even create an Emerium Beam!
