Ultramen

Ultraman Leo

Voiced by: Ryu Manatsu

A Ultra warrior hailing from the planet L77 (whereas all other Ultras are from M78), Ultraman Leo's homeworld was destroyed by the Alien Magma and twin kaiju called the Gilas Brothers, so he came to Earth in the guise of a human named Gen Ohtori and trained under Ultraseven, becoming a skilled martial artist more reliant on his physical capabilities than most Ultra heroes. Ultraman Leo has also reappeared in other series, and most notably, is the mentor of Ultraseven's own son Ultraman Zero.

Always Someone Better: The first episode of Ultraman Regulos reveals that Leo is this towards the titular Ultraman. When Leo bests Regulos in their sparring practice, Regulos claims that Leo has beaten him for 15 matches total, without Regulos winning even a single fight. Please note this is the Leo before the TV series when he have yet gone through the training and tribulations on Earth
Animal Motifs: Lions. His theme song has the verse "The eye of the lion is shining" and a lion's head is used to symbolize L77.
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. On Earth, he briefly got the Ultra Mantle from Ultraman King.
Bare-Fisted Monk: The Ultraman equivalent of one, as Leo relies almost entirely on unarmed melee combat as opposed to flashier beam attacks used by most other Ultra heroes.
Big Brother Instinct: So much that he was willing to fight the Ultra Brothers to defend Astra when the latter was accused of stealing the Ultra Key from the Land of Light (which turned out to be Alien Babalou in disguise).
Big Damn Heroes: In his first appearance (other than the opening sequence), his burning foot landed on Alien Magma's chest and he kept on fighting Magma and the Gillas monsters after that, saving a wounded Ultraseven.
Chest Blaster: Much like Ultraman Ace before him, one of Leo's secondary attacks is an energy beam fired from his chest timer.
Combination Attack: The Ultra Double Flasher, executed in tandem with Astra, when Leo and Astra combine their beams together into a concentrated, powerful red energy beam capable of taking down even the strongest of monsters. Later in the series, Leo is revealed to be capable of performing this with his student, Ultraman Zero too.
Create Your Own Hero: If Alien Magma and his twin monsters hadn't attacked L-77 or Earth, Leo wouldn't have become a warrior.
Disney Death:
- A family-unfriendly demise at the hands of Bunyo and Commander Black. He got better.
- A shorter one at the end of Episode 3 when a giant Alien Tsuruk attacked.
Diving Kick: His signature Finishing Move is the Leo Kick, created as a friendly nod towards Kamen Rider.
Elemental Punch: Variant. Leo is able to encase his karate chops in fiery energy for some truly devastating attacks that usually end with a monster get a body part lopped off.
Hand Blast: While Leo is better known for his usage of his own bare hands, he does get a few minor ones later on in the series.
Horned Humanoid: One of the few Ultramen with horns.
Improbable Weapon User: His arsenal includes an umbrella and a crystal ball.
Last of His Kind: He thought he was this, until Astra appeared.
Meaningful Name: Name after the constellation of Leo, the lion, in which L77 is located in.
My Greatest Failure: Leo had to escape the destruction of L-77 after failing to save his brother Astra. Subverted after Astra arrived on Earth, and together they fought many aliens and monsters.
Panthera Awesome: As stated above, lions form his major motif.
Parasol of Pain: The Leo-brella weapon serves this purpose.
Red Is Heroic: He, Astra, and Ultraseven.
Rookie Red Ranger: He's a newcomer both as an Ultraman (no combat experience) and as a human (the latest member of MAC).
Spin Attack: Able to perform spinning kick attacks powerful enough to knock the heads of his opponents' bodies.
Super-Strength: Even by the standards of the Ultramen, Leo's physical power is unmatched, thanks to years of Training from Hell.
Swiss-Army Weapon: The Ultra Mantle, which he carries on his left arm in the form of a bracelet. A gift from Ultraman King originally used to defeat the alien wizard Pressure.
Training from Hell: Put through all sorts of it to become the skilled martial artist he is today.
Warrior Prince: He was a prince back on his homeworld.

Astra

Voiced by: Ryu Manatsu (stock grunts), Chikara Osaka (Ultra Fight Victory onwards)

Ultraman Leo's younger twin brother, who was initially presumed dead after the destruction of L77, but reappears to assist Leo against the monster brothers Gallon and Litre. He returns to assist Leo many more times in the series and often appears alongside Leo in other series too.

Big Damn Heroes: Saves the day in his first appearance, taking on Gallon and Litre along with Leo.
Combination Attack: He and Leo often perform these, with the most notable being the Ultra Double Flasher, a beam of red lightning fired with Leo standing behind a kneeling Astra.
Dark and Troubled Past : He barely survived the destruction of L77, and was captured and imprisoned by the Alien Magma, who tortured and enslaved him. It was only the intervention of Ultraman King that got him out of it, and only from King did he learn that his brother had survived.
Deus ex Machina: His role in Ultraman Leo. He'd always appears suddenly during a battle to help Leo against whatever the monster was giving his older brother trouble, like Gallon and Litre, Alien Akumania, Alien Atlanta, and Hangler.
Disney Death: Leo failed to save him during Alien Magma's destruction of L-77. He turns up alive on Earth to save his brother from Gallon and Litre.
Diving Kick: Has his own version of the Leo Kick called the Astra Kick.
Facial Horror: Downplayed, but due to the torture at the hands of Alien Magma, Astra has asymmetrical eyes, and a lightly parted lower left mouth. Unlike other Ultras such as Jack, this is still retained in his modern appearances, which shows it isn't just a result of the limited budget during the Showa era.
Hand Blast: He uses beam attacks a lot more than Leo does.
Meaningful Name: His name is Latin for "star".
The Quiet One: He never said anything in the entire series, only gaining his first speaking role some 40 years later.
Sibling Team: While they only occasionally worked together in the series, later Ultra Series almost always have Astra and Leo together, like in Ultra Fight Victory and Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends.
Slave Collar: Variant. He wears one around his left leg — the only external remnant of the time he spent as a slave of the Alien Magma.
Twin Desynch: As a result of his time spent as a prisoner of the Alien Magma, Astra has become fairly different from Leo. Notably, Astra used to have horns, but they were sawed off by the Alien Magma.

Ultraman King

Voiced by: Motomu Kiyokawa (Ultraman Leo and Ultraman Mebius), Junichiro Koizumi (Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends), Nobuyuki Hiyama (Ultraman Geed), Masao Nakasone (stock grunts, since Ultraman Zero: The Chronicle)

The most powerful Ultraman in existence and a virtual god amongst the Ultras, Ultraman King is a reclusive and mysterious hermit who resides on a Zen Garden-like planet near M78 where he is its sole inhabitant. He most often appears in times of serious crisis when all seems completely lost against forces of evil. King is supposedly one of the oldest living Ultras, and in the series' lore was around before the Plasma Spark existed, thus making him one of, if not the only inhabitant of the Land of Light to possess memories of what life was like before the planet's star died, necessitating the construction of the Spark.

Appeal to Worse Problems: In Episode 39, he admonished the Ultra Brothers for fighting with Leo and reminded them of the imminent collision of the Ultra planet with Earth.
Badass Cape: His Ultra Mantle, which can transform into anything he wishes and can even deflect attacks. He gave it to Leo for the series, but got it back afterwards.
Deus ex Machina: His role in Ultraman Leo is to make sure the day can be saved whenever things seem totally hopeless. He does against Alien Pressure (when Leo is shrunken down by the wizard), Alien Babalou (revealing him to be disguised as Astra to end the conflict between the Leo Brothers and Ultra Brothers), and Alien Bunyo (when Bunyo and Commander Black chop Leo into pieces).
Godzilla Threshold: He only gets involved in the Ultra warriors' battles if there is no other way for whatever crisis they are facing to be solved, such as the Land of Light about to collide with Earth while the Ultra and Leo Brothers are engaged in in-fighting or Ultraman Belial successfully activating a weapon capable of destroying the universe.
Greater-Scope Paragon: He's the greatest force for good of the entire Ultra Series, although since he's a hermit, the Father of Ultra tends to fill in the more active needs of the Big Good role.
Hermit Guru: Usually lives as one, spending his time meditating and observing the Space Garrison from an isolated planet. In fact, no Ultra had ever seen King until Leo's battle against Alien Pressure forced him to make an appearance.
I Have Many Names: He tells this to Ultraman Hikari in the Hikari Saga Gaiden, saying that "Ultraman King" is simply what humans have given him.
Mysterious Past: It's known that the Ultras developed their powers from the Plasma Spark, but Ultraman King was already an Ultra long before that and his origin is unknown. Only Ultraman Nexus is more ancient than him.
Non-Indicative Name: Despite his given title of "king", Ultraman King isn't actually the ruler of the Land of Light. It just befits his incredible power.
Non-Standard Character Design: He's the only good Ultra with red eyes.
The Omnipotent: His powers are virtually infinite and he's regarded as all powerful, and more than backs up that claim. He's capable of effortlessly bring back a dismembered Leo to life and curbstomped the immensely powerful Ultraman Belial, then created the Land of Light's moon around him to seal him away. In Ultraman Geed, he recreates the freaking universe.
Physical God: When a species of immensely strong, 50 meter tall energy beings considers you their deity, you have to be this.
Time Abyss: In keeping with the longevity of his kind, though He predates the Plasma Spark, and is at LEAST 300,000 years old, probably older.

Ultra Brothers

The Ultra Brothers

The previous team of Ultramen (sans Taro, for reasons unexplained) who defended Earth prior to Leo's arrival shows up in this series as well. While Ultraseven returns as the Captain of MAC (see Humans Folder), having lost his powers to transform thanks to being critically injured by the Gillas Brothers, the other Ultras, consisting of Ultraman, Zoffy, Jack and Ace made occasional appearances, Jack showing up halfway to deliver Ultraseven's Ultra Eye back to M78 for repairs, and later the quartet all arriving on Earth to pursue the stolen Ultra Key.

A Day in the Limelight: Jack in "Ultra Brothers, Eternal Vows", when he returns to Earth in order to have Ultraseven's Ultra Eye fixed. The episode even gives a brief recap of Jack's backgroud early in (in the form of Stock Footage from Return of Ultraman) and playing Jack's theme early in the show.
Badass Biker: Jack, while stranded in his human form as Hideki Go, does some cool stunts on a motorbike, speeding through Ashuran's rampage to deliver the Sevenger capsule to Moroboshi.
Badass in Distress: Jack in the episode he guest-starred in, after getting choked by Ashuran and crashing on Earth.
Big Damn Heroes: Ultraman Jack arriving in the middle of the eclipse to help Ultraman Leo battle Ashuran, the two Ultras tearing the demonic kaiju a new hole. Cue much rejoicing from Jack's fans.
Combination Attack: Ultraman Jack and Ultraman Leo defeats Ashuran in this manner, both Ultras landing a kick on both sides of the monster.
Demoted to Extra: While Jack gets an episode where he gets to shine, the others... not so much. Their parts in the Alien Babalou two-parter pretty much amounts to a glorified cameo, with the great Ultraman King revealing Astra to be a disguised Alien Babalou and then having Leo and the released Astra fixing the mess started by the alien.
The Guards Must Be Crazy: The four brothers somehow falls under this at the start of the Alien Babalou two-parter. Considering the Key is needed to prevent M78 from falling out of orbit and is a powerful weapon enough to destroy planets by it's wielder, when the Key gets stolen by Alien Babalou somehow all four of the brothers are in a separate room (instead of having at least one of them watching over the key at all times...), only coming out after Babalou-as-Astra had left with the Key. Maybe the quartet are on their lunch break and are playing cards when the theft happens...
Hand Signals: Jack, while stuck in his human form as Hideki with his mouth gagged and unable to speak, tries communicating with MAC with this method that he's looking for Sevengar's dropped capsule and that he's related to their Captain Dan Moroboshi. It... doesn't really work.
Injured Limb Episode: Much like Ultraseven / Dan Moroboshi in the pilot, Ultraman Jack in the episode he guest-starred in gets his hand broken by Ashuran, where in his human form as Hideki he's seen with his left hand bandaged while recovering. Thankfully the injury isn't nearly as severe, enough for Hideki to transform into Ultraman Jack and assist Leo in the episode's penultimate battle.
MacGuffin Delivery Service: Jack's role in the episode he guest-stars, which is to deliver Ashuran's capsule to Dan Moroboshi, and then taking Moroboshi's Ultra Eye back to M78 to be fixed.
Unwitting Pawn: All the brothers ends up being this to Alien Babalou, whom had disguised himself as Astra, manipulating the brothers into fighting Leo.
Waking Up Elsewhere: After his battle against Ashuran on the Moon goes south, Jack ends up crashing on Earth... and then waking up on a beach. With his mouth gagged and unable to speak.
The Worf Effect: Jack getting beated up by Ashuran en route to Earth serves to establish the alien demon as a legitimate threat. As Ashuran shows up near the end of the episode - during an eclipse, no less, where it's powers will be multiplied by the darkness - Jack quickly backs up Leo, knowing how powerful the demon is.

The Cutie: Being the younger of the two major child characters, the first episode has an extended scene of her bonding with Gen, her singing while Gen plays his guitar.

Alien Magma

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alien_magmua.png

First Appearance: The Death of Seven! Tokyo Sinks!

One of the brutal race that destroyed Ultraman Leo's homeworld at the beginning of the series, Alien Magma set his eyes on Earth with his monster lackeys, the Gilas Brothers, to devastate cities with the monsters' tsunami-creating powers and defeat Ultraseven. Another one, the first ones younger brother would appear in Episode 28 when he attempted to marry the bird-like alien Rolan, coming face-to-face with Ultraman Leo.

Alien Magma has appeared several more times in the Ultra Series, due to being one of Ultraman Leo's most popular and iconic enemies, as well as for the major impact he carried for Leo in the background of his own series. The hairstyle, eye colour, and weaponry have also changed a number of times over the course of the franchise, but he remains as a fierce foe for any Ultra hero who goes up against him.

Abhorrent Admirer: The seconed one to Rolan in "The Monster's Favor".
Archenemy: To Ultraman Leo, for destroying the hero's homeworld at the start of the series.
Breakout Villain: Ranks among Ultraman Leo's most iconic foes and has reappeared several times in the franchise against other Ultramen.
Cat Folk: His species, as evidenced by the cat-like ears and leonine hair.
Hand Blast: Can fire a variety of energy bolts from his hands, including a blue laser and finger bolts. One of those attacks, and not necessarily the broken leg, may have crippled Ultraseven.
If I Can't Have You…: Rolan rejected the seconed one's advances, so he turned on her.
Karmic Death: Leo killed the seconed one with one of Rolan's pinwheels, made from her feathers.
Knight of Cerebus: Alien Magma shows off right from the start that Ultraman Leo is nothing like the wacky Ultraman Taro by defeating Ultraseven and successfully sinking an island-city with the help of the Gilas Brothers.
Non-Standard Character Design: One of the very few alien/monster designs that show the part of the real actor, being its mouth and eyes. The species' second appearance would drop this but every other appearance but stick with the original design.
Shapeshifter Weapon: His hands are able to transform at will into a lance-like sword called a Pata for combat. In later incarnations, he can also transform them into a hook.
- Blade Below the Shoulder: Typically his right hand, which can also fire a laser from its tip if needed.
- Hook Hand: Typically his left hand, which can also be launched out with a grappling chain.
Small Role, Big Impact: Although they're really only the Monster of the Week in a total of three episodes, his species' actions are important to Ultraman Leo's backstory.
Starter Villain Stays: Sort of. While the first one dosen't appear again after its initial defeat, his younger brother appear later on.
Villain Decay: In the species reappearance. they've gone from sinking an island, flooding Tokyo, crippling Ultraseven, and destroying Leo's homeworld, to harassing children for their toy fans and trying to marry some bird alien. Justified, in the fact that it was a different individual.
Villain: Exit, Stage Left: He runs away after the Gilas Brothers are killed and vanishes and is never seen again.
The Voiceless: Never speaks or makes a noise during his appearances.
What Happened to the Mouse?: Despite his importance, the original Alien Magma just leave after being beaten, and never comes back, with every Alien Magma afterword being a different individual.
The Worf Effect: He and the Gilas Brothers defeat Ultraseven at the start of the series, showing exactly the direction of the series, as well as Magma's ruthlessness.
Would Hurt a Child: In "The Monster's Favor", The seconed one attacked any child who had one of Rolan's pinwheels.

Gilas Brothers

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/giras_brothers.png

First Appearance: The Death of Seven! Tokyo Sinks!

Alien Magma's twin monster lackeys, who specialize in creating devastating floods and storms, as well as using tag team abilities, which Gen had to train against.

Attack Reflector: Both brothers can lock hands together and spin themselves rapidly to reflect all attacks against them.
Combination Attack: All the Gilas Brothers' powers are based around this, particularly their Spin Attack, which allows them to spam their laser bolts and create a powerful electrified force field. Gen had to train against these powers too.
Co-Dragons: As Alien Magma's henchmen.
The Dividual: It's nigh impossible to treat them as separate monsters due to how closely tied with each other they are.
The Dragon: Both of them are Alien Magma's loyal monster minions and do most of the dirty work for him.
Horn Attack: Both brothers can shoot lasers from their horns.
Making a Splash: The Gilas Brothers can conjure tsunamis to flood cities and sink islands.
Off with His Head!: The fates of both.
Small Role, Big Impact: They are only the Monster of the Week of the series' first two episodes and never return afterwards, but their actions are the reason for Dan's condition throughout the show.
Spell My Name With An S: Also known as the Giras or Gillas Brothers.
Spin Attack: Their Attack Reflector allows them to do this as well by firing energy beams as they spin about.
Starter Villain: They were the first foes that Ultraman Leo had to train himself against.
Tag Team Twins: They do all their combat and always use their powers together.
Weather Manipulation: They can create torrential rainstorms and hurricanes.
The Worf Effect: They break Ultraseven's leg, costing him his ability to transform and forcing him to remain as Dan Moroboshi for the remainder of the show.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tsuruk_new.jpg

Humanoid Form

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tsur.PNG

Kaiju Form

First Appearance: Farewell to Tears

A ruthless swordsman from outer space who murdered Tooru and Kaoru's father (an MAC officer), bringing them under the care of Gen and Momoko. Gen had to train against Tsuruk's deadly wrist blades that granted the evil alien his lethal swordsmanship skills.

An Arm and a Leg: Loses both his arms to Ultraman Leo.
Blade Below the Shoulder: His weapon of choice is a pair of long swords built into his wrists, which Gen had to figure out how to overcome.
Generic Doomsday Villain: Alien Tsuruk is the first in a long line of Aliens with no motivation for attacking earth except for making Leo's life a living hell.
Hoist by His Own Petard: Leo kills him by tearing off his arms and stabbing him with their wrist blades.
Karmic Death: He's an alien murderer who delights in using his arm blades to slice several people to death, so fittingly enough he ends up getting stabbed to death by his own severed arm blades.
Kick the Dog: Murders Tooru and Kaoru's dad right in front of them. The two kids are adopted by another MAC officer, but then Tsuruk murders him as well.
Master Swordsman: A murderous blademaster whose swiftness and brutality with his wrist blades were so great that Gen had to go through his usual Training from Hell in order to counter them.
One-Winged Angel: Tsuruk transforms himself into a giant reptilian monster instead of merely increasing his size, which is how he battles Ultraman Leo. He maintains his lethal wrist blades in this form.
Villainous Legacy: is killed off after the end of part his two-parter but his murder of Tooru and Kaoru's father still haunts them throughout the series, especially Tooru.

First Appearance: Don't Cry! You're A Man!

Naturally, Gen had to train hard in order to find a way to counter Kanedoras' throwing skills with its boomerang horn, while also trying to find a way to get Tooru's spirits back up after his father's death.

Battle Boomerang: Its "ability of the week" that Gen needed to train against and find a way to overcome. Its boomerang horn is also bladed for a good measure.
Breath Weapon: Breathes fire.
Eye Scream: Leo managed to turn it's horn back into it's face, and sure enough it ends up in the monster's eyes.
Giant Flyer: Possesses flaps of skin on its sides that allow it soar through the sky.
Half the Man He Used to Be: After the monster gets impaled, Leo uses his Leo Kick to slice Kanedoras in half.
Hoist by His Own Petard: Was stabbed in it's eyes by it's own boomerang-like horn, after trying to use it on Leo.

Humanoid Form

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/karly.PNG

Kaiju Form

First Appearance: Burn On! You're A Man!

A murderous alien with massive shoulder spikes that he uses to great effect. With these weapons, he was able to successfully kill several members of MAC in a single fight, and it was exactly for this reason that Gen needed to train himself to overcome the alien's skills.

Aim for the Horn: Had both his shoulder tusks severed by Leo.
Facial Horror: His fate, as Ultraman Leo manages to rip off one of his shoulder spikes and stab him in the skull with it.
Generic Doomsday Villain: Another alien with no motivation except for causing suffering.
Left Stuck After Attack: While trying to skewer Leo in kaiju form, Karly ends up embedding it's tusks into the side of the building. Unable to break free in time, Karly ends up having both tusks chopped off by Leo.
One-Winged Angel: Like Tsuruk, Karly transforms himself into a giant reptilian monster rather than increasing his size. He uses this ability to battle Ultraman Leo, and still has his deadly shoulder spikes.
Shock and Awe: Shoots lightning from his shoulder spikes and can electrocute enemies who try to grab them.
Spikes of Doom: He relies on the two huge spikes on his shoulders to overwhelm his opponents. Naturally, Gen had to train himself to counter the weapons.

Kendoros

First Appearance: A Beautiful Man's Disposition

A strange alien monster that spawned a dangerous flower which Kaoru had discovered and taken care of. Using the fully matured flower, the monster had the ability to hurl shuriken-like petals from its body, which was what Gen needed to train himself against for the episode.

Battle Boomerang: The shuriken petals act as these, and Gen had to train against them.
Beat Them at Their Own Game: Kendoros specializes in launching it's petals like numerous boomerang blades, so at the end of the battle Leo turns himself into a boomerang and inflicts a killing blow on Kendoros.
Foul Flower: Kendoros gains its shuriken petals from the alien flower growing on the top of its body, but it has to create the flower and let it grow in order to gain the ability.

Vekira

First Appearance: Certain Kill! Monster Challenger!

A monster whose Achilles' Heel is its backside. However, Vekira is smart enough to make sure that its enemies will never be able hit it from behind no matter how hard they try, so Gen had to train himself to find a way to be able to get behind Vekira and strike its weak spot.

Achilles' Heel: Vekira's backside is so vulnerable to attack that it will die if hit from behind hard enough. However, the monster knows this and always ensures that its back is never facing the enemy, so Gen had to train in order to somehow hit the monster from behind.
Breath Weapon: Can breath a shower of explosive sparks.

Alien Giro

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/guiro_i.png

First Appearance: The Bridge of Friendship that Spans the Universe

A friendly alien who came to Earth to enjoy its sights and befriended Tooru after meeting him at an amusement park. Unfortunately, his friendship with the boy was met with suspicion by MAC, and Dan forced Gen to train against the alien's ability to create hindering foam from its antennae.

Achilles' Heel: His antennae are not only the source of his most potent powers, but he will actually die if they're torn off.
Aim for the Horn: His horn-like antennae ends up being cut by Leo in battle.
Aliens Among Us: Giro can't disguise himself as a human like many Ultra aliens, so he hides by blending in with the monster statues at an amusement park.
Amusing Alien: He was merely a friendly and fun-loving alien who just came to Earth to make friends and travel as a tourist. Unfortunately, MAC's suspicion of potential alien invaders led to him fighting Ultraman Leo.
Humans Are the Real Monsters: Giro is not evil however humanity's paranoia of him causes the conflict of the episode.
Little Green Men: He strongly resembles one.
Not Helping Your Case: Though non-malicious, the fact that his immediate reaction upon being confronted by a suspicious Gen is to run away, Tooru in hand, doesn't particularly help matters.
Slippery Skid: One of Giro's main attacks is spewing foam from its horns which causes Leo to slip.
Spell My Name With An S: Sometimes spelled as Guiro.
Sticky Situation: Giro's primary power (and that which Gen had to train against) is to spray a white foam from his antennae that solidifies upon contact with solid matter, slowing and hindering his enemies in sticky white foam.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ron_i.png

Kaiju Form

First Appearance: The Sorrowful, Wandering Monster

Leo's beloved pet monster back on L77 before the planet was destroyed.

Beware My Stinger Tail: Ron can shoot energy darts from his tail.
Breath Weapon: Breathes fire.
Came from the Sky: Arrives on Earth in the form of a comet.
Canine Companion: Leo's equivalent to one, although All There in the Manual sources state that Ron's species were actually considered pests by most of L77's inhabitants. In fact, Leo even grants him an animal equivalent of a human form, since he appears disguised as a dog at the end of his episode.
Eye Beams: Can shoot lasers from his eyes.
Magma Man: Ron consumes lava, which was how he turned from a small animal into a gigantic monster.
Make My Monster Grow: Ron is normally only about the equivalent of a small dog in terms of comparing his size to that of Ultraman Leo, but its grief and rage, as well as a steady diet of magma, made it the size of Ultraman Leo.
Pet Monstrosity: Of Ultraman Leo before L77 was destroyed.
Prehensile Tail: Uses his tail to constrict Ultraman Leo during their fight.
Playing with Fire: Asides from his Breath Weapon, he can also shoot fire from his tail.
Tunnel King: Ron is a powerful burrower, which helps him feed on lava. In fact, books on the Ultra Series state that on L77, Ron's species are roughly equivalent to moles.
What Happened to the Mouse?: Despite surviving his battle against Leo, reverted to a regular puppy and adopted by Kaoru at the end, Ron somehow never appears for the rest of the series outside it's debut episode.
Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Ron was only rampaging because he had been driven to madness by the grief over being separated from Ultraman Leo. Even Gen feels deeply sorry for Ron and refuses to battle him as he rampages.

Alien Kettle

First Appearance: One Man Covered in Mud

A vicious alien thug who kills the uncle and aunt of Ichiro Matsumoto, one of the boys at Jounan Sports Center. The shame of failing to save the kid's family and his inability to overcome the alien's superhuman strength and speed led Gen to once again go through Training from Hell.

Badass Normal: Despite having no powers beyond the stock one of changing his size, Kettle was so strong and agile that Gen had to merely train against the alien's superhuman martial arts skills instead of some special ability he had.
Generic Doomsday Villain: No motivation for why its killing people on earth, it just is
Kick the Dog: Aliens in this series really like murdering kids' guardians, don't they?
Super-Reflexes: Kettle is capable of numerous acts of inhuman agility, including jumping clean over the heads of his enemies and leaping from wall to wall.
Super-Strength: Kettle is so strong that he can bend iron with his bare hands, and defeat 4 trained MAC officers and a professional wrestler (the latter whom he kills) all fighting him at once.

Bango

First Appearance: The Adventure Nut Arrives!

A fun-loving monster whose only interest is finding new and exciting things to do. Bango particularly enjoys imitating anything it finds amusing, particularly the antics of MAC's newest team member, an eccentric self-declared world adventurer from Africa named Saburo Sato.

Breath Weapon: Breathes powerful gusts of misty wind. They can't hurt people, but they can blow away annoyances as needed.
Improbable Weapon User: In his battle against Ultraman Leo, he uses a tower as a bat and tosses an oil tank as a grenade.
Non-Malicious Monster: Being the kaiju of the series' first Breather Episode, Bango is merely a harmless (as far as kaiju go) goofball who just wants to have fun and likes to imitate anything he finds amusing.

Alien Vibe

Humanoid Form

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alien_vibe_big.png

Monster Form

First Appearance: Huge Explosion! Two Aliens in Crisis!

A bloodthirsty alien invader with the ability to vibrate his own body at such speeds that he is rendered invisible. Naturally, Gen had to figure out how to train against an enemy that he could not see, while the rest of MAC busied itself with trying to stop the alien's killing spree.

Beware the Silly Ones: Yeah, his humanoid form looks more like a clown outfit (complete with a pair of dangling bells on each side!) but make no mistake, once he turned monstrous he's a formidable foe to deal with.
Fragile Speedster: Despite how overwhelming his Super-Speed and Invisibility were for Gen, Vibe ended up being killed by only MAC's firepower when he turned giant size, with no help from Ultraman Leo.
Invisibility: Which he performs by moving his entire body at Super-Speed.
Punny Name: So called for his vibrating abilities, which is what allows him to turn invisible and move at superspeed.
Super-Speed: Vibe can vibrate his entire body at lightning fast speeds, and then move about with an equally great swiftness to make some murderous mayhem.

Antales

First Appearance: Certain Kill-Fists! A Young Boy Calls Up a Tempest!

Played by: Kawashiro Famiyoshi (human form actor)

A scorpion-like alien from the Antares system who takes on the form of a young and hotheaded human martial artist with a secret invisible stinger technique to strike his foes down. The agonizing pain of the invisible stinger was exactly what Gen had to train against for the episode.

Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Takes on the form of a young martial artist in order to challenge Gen in face-to-face combat, using his human disguise to overpower and humiliate other martial artists with his secret technique.
Attack the Tail: Leo managed to sever Antales' tail during the battle.
Beware My Stinger Tail: Being a scorpion-like alien, Antales uses his claw-like stinger tail in combat. In his human disguise, the tail is invisible allowing him to still use it. It was also the ability Gen had to train against.
Blinded by the Light: Can flash a blinding red light from his eyes.
Meaningful Name: Antales' Japanese name "Antares" is derived from the name of a star located in the constellation of Scorpius, where he originates from.
Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: A kung-fu fighting scorpion-based alien monster. Seriously.
Off with His Head! / Hoist by His Own Petard: Leo defeats Antales by ripping of his stinger and using it slice off his head.
Playing with Fire: His stinger tail can also act as a flamethrower.
Power Pincers: Being a martial artist scorpion alien, he uses them to block his enemies' punches and kicks.
Scary Scorpions: Japanese books on the Ultra Series state that he hails from the constellation of Scorpius too!

Alien Flip

First Appearance: The Way to Fight in Darkness! Attacking with Fighting Spirit!

An evil alien with the ability to create numerous illusory duplicates of himself in order to disorient his enemies. Gen, of course, had to train against this confusion-inducing technique by seeking the help of a blind martial artist and training himself in blinded combat.

Ambiguously Related: There are magazines and promotional materials (one from the "Ultraman Monster Great Encyclopedia") that claims Alien Flip is related to Alien Baltan, which doesn't sound too far-fetched given they create similar gloating noises and Doppelgänger Spin abilities, but that's not really made clear within the episode itself.
Doppelgänger Spin: Creates illusions of himself to battle Ultraman Leo. Gen had to train to figure out how to distinguish the real one. The trick is that the real one is the only one whose footsteps can be heard.
Evil Laugh: Which is actually a slightly modified form of Alien Baltan's.
Expy: Of Alien Baltan from the original Ultraman, who has almost the exact same Doppelgänger Spin ability and Evil Laugh.

Alien Atler

First Appearance: The Woman who Disappeared at Midnight

Played by: Yuri Hoshino (human form actress)

A wicked alien who shapeshifts into a pretty young woman in white to lure humans to their deaths. She relies on the power of a deadly flower from her homeworld known as the Black Orchid, which encases her victims in silver. She's also notable for being the first Monster of the Week Gen did not have to train himself to defeat.

Foul Flower: Carries the Black Orchid on her chest, which allow her to change shape. It also shoots a ray of energy that turns victims into silver, but in the battle with Ultraman Leo, it only has a minimal effect due to their larger sizes.
Taken for Granite: Her Black Orchid encases people in silver, turning them into statues or simply welding their legs.
Voluntary Shapeshifting: Takes on the form of a ghost-like lady in white to lure men and kill them with her Black Orchid.

Alien Wolf

Humanoid form

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alien_wolf_i.png

Kaiju form

First Appearance: Bride of the Wolfman

A werewolf-like alien that can possess humans, forcing his victims to transform into him every night. He takes over the body of a gymnast named Saeko that Gen's friend Takeshi is dating, combining her superb reflexes with his own natural strength and strange powers in order to defeat Ultraman Leo.

Demonic Possession: His method of turning people into "werewolves". If the person has any special traits (eg: Saeko and her gymnastic skills), he gains those in his monstrous form.
Non-Indicative Name: Alien Wolf's humanoid form resembles... a bear.
Our Werewolves Are Different: Very different. First of all, he's an alien. Secondly, and more interestingly, he actually turns people into werewolves by possessing them instead of biting them, forcing them to transform into Alien Wolf at night. Also, he has a number of vampire traits, notably drinking blood for sustenance and having a habit of specifically targeting women.
Spin Attack: Due to the fact that he was possessing the body of Saeko the gymnast, Alien Wolf inherits the girl's spinning acrobatics and uses it to perform a pinwheel attack.
Spring Jump: Not actually taken from Saeko, but rather a standard ability for Alien Wolf.
The Tooth Hurts: Ultraman Leo tears out Alien Wolf's fangs during the fight.
Ursine Aliens: In his humanoid form, anyways, which resembles closer to a bear than a wolf.

Batton

First Appearance: Vampire! The Bat Girl!

Voiced by: Tomoko Sakamoto (also human form actor)

One of a swarm of extraterrestrial vampire bats that were exterminated by MAC when they attacked Earth. As the sole survivor of MAC's onslaught, she disguised herself as an injured young woman and was taken in by Momoko and Kaoru to be cared for, using the opportunity to search for blood to drink.

Bat Out of Hell: Her true form is a giant humanoid bat, though she can also appear as a very large spacefaring vampire bat.
Blade Below the Shoulder: Has retractable wrist blades that she uses in her fight with Leo.
Blow You Away: Like all winged monsters, she is able to create powerful gusts by flapping her wings. To solve this, Leo simply just rips her wings apart.
Our Vampires Are Different: In this case, they're giant alien space bats that take on the forms of humans to turn people into vampires.
Pointy Ears: They can shoot rays of energy.
Power Crystal: In her human form, Batton carries a gemstone around her neck that puts people to sleep, which she uses so that she can drink their blood.
Super Spit: Has poison spit.
Voluntary Shapeshifting: Like Antales, Batton takes on a human in order to spread havoc out of the notice of MAC. She still has all her vampire powers, using her long dress as makeshift wings.
Would Not Hurt A Child: She doesn't attack children. It's not out of sympathy for them though — she just doesn't like the taste of their blood.

Alien Boze

First Appearance: Revival of the Half-Man Fish

A fish-like alien who had been terrorizing a small fishing village in Hokkaido for over a century. It happened to be that Gen, Momoko, Tooru, and Kaoru were vacationing in that exact village, soon bringing the fearful villagers' story of a sea monster to the attention of MAC.

All Myths Are True: He originated as a myth among the local fishing populace. Turns out he's very real.
Ear Fins: To complete the "fish people" look, Boze has a row of fins in place of ears.
Fish People: He came to Earth during the 1800s and terrorized the locals of the nearby village for many years, creating a dread superstition amongst them about not fishing at certain times lest they incur the wrath of a "sea monster".

Stripped to the Bone: Dissolves into a skeleton upon death.

A young friend of Dan Moroboshi from the constellation of Ursa Minor who came to Hokkaido to seek the help of Dan and Gen when his mother was murdered by the vicious Dogyuh. He takes on the form of a human boy and is accompanied by a pair of orphaned bear cubs.

Beary Friendly: A little boy from the constellation of Ursa Minor and gets along swimmingly with both Dan and Gen. He also has his pair of orphaned bear cubs, whom he cares for a lot.
Human Aliens: Appears as one, although it's more likely that we never actually see his true form.
Intergenerational Friendship: Although just a child, he's a good friend of the much older Dan Moroboshi.
Meaningful Name: Bock's name comes from "Koro-pok-guru", the name of a race of gnome-like people in the folklore of the Ainu people who inhabit Hokkaido.
Nice Guy: Bick shows himself to be a friendly and well-behaved child.
Ursine Aliens: Implied. We never see his true form, but considering Dogyuh, it's likely he resembles one.
You Killed My Father: In this case, Dogyuh killed his mother. Thus he comes to Earth to ask for help from his friend, Ultraseven.

Dogyuh

First Appearance: The Strange Boy from Ursa Minor

Played by: Kin Ohmae (human form actor)

A brutal bull-like alien from the constellation of Taurus who came to Hokkaido in pursuit of Bock after murdering the bear-boy's mother. He spends most of the episode in the form of a burly bear hunter, trying to rile up locals into helping him kill Bock by telling them he's an alien invader.

An Arm and a Leg: Ultraman Leo kills him by ripping his legs off.
Archenemy: Of Bock, for killing his mother.
Eye Scream: Bock impales Dogyuh's eyes with spears during Leo's battle with the bull-like alien.
Hate Sink: He killed Bock's mother and hunted the child all the way to Earth, framed Bock for killing of livestock, and manipulated an entire village to hunt down the child. Every action from this scumbag of an alien is a massive Kick the Dog moment, from being a bully to killing a little bear cub and being nasty in general.
Kick the Dog: He lives to do this, such as killing one of Bock's pet bear cubs.
Jerkass: He's a bullying brute all around.
Manipulative Bastard: He incites some local villagers against Bock by accusing him of being an evil invader.
Our Minotaurs Are Different: His true form is a vaguely minotaur-like alien, since he hails from the Taurus constellation.
Super-Strength: Since he is a bull-like alien. He manages to temporarily blind Leo with the sheer strength of a single punch to the face.
Would Hurt a Child: Duh. His goal was to kill Bock, after all.

Alien Alpha Nike

First Appearance: I Saw a Goddess in the Far North

Played by: Megumi Maritomo

One of a race of benevolent aliens who send a secret visitor to Earth under the title of Goddess of Victory every four years to bless one virtuous human with good luck. Unfortunately, she's being pursued by the evil Alien Northsatan, so she turns to MAC for help and to find her former lover, an Olympic athlete-turned-MAC officer named Kitayama.

Ancient Astronauts: When her species came to ancient Greece, the Greeks gained their inspiration for their goddess of victory.
Been There, Shaped History: Her people are the inspiration for the Greek Goddess of Victory.

Kaiju Form

First Appearance: I Saw a Goddess in the Far North

A needle-spitting alien bounty hunter going after Alien Alpha Nike for a massive price that more malevolent forces had placed on the Goddess of Victory's head. He's also notable for being the final Monster of the Week in which Gen had to spend a chunk of the episode training to fight.

Bounty Hunter: His goal was to kill Nike due to a price that evil aliens had placed on her head.
Breath Weapon: Northsatan can fire a beam of white smoke containing hundreds of needles.

Torso with a View: Ultraman Leo kills him with a punch that penetrates his guts.

A pair of monster brothers, with Gallon being the older of the two and Litre being the younger one. The two monsters overwhelmed Ultraman Leo with their teamwork, but it is during their battle with the hero that his thought-to-be-deceased brother Astra makes his debut.

Bash Brothers: Monster siblings who fight side by side.
Breath Weapon: Both of them breathe fireballs and showers of explosive sparks.
The Dividual: Like the Gilas Brothers, it's nigh impossible to treat them as separate monsters due to how closely tied with each other they are.

Spell My Name With An S: Gallon has also been spelled as Garon and Galon, while Litre as Liter and Littre.

Played by: Yasuhiro Masuda (actor), Kazue Takahashi (voice)

A child-like alien who spends most of his time resting on a spacefaring bed. One day however, he fell out and landed on Earth, where he befriended Tooru and Kaoru. However, he ends up causing a lot of trouble, especially when he summons his pet monster Renbolar to show off to the kids.

Amusing Alien: Coro is purely a goofy, fun-loving alien who has no ill intentions (as appropriate for a Breather Episode). He causes a lot of trouble through his mischief with Tooru and Kaoru though, not to mention the whole Renbolar fiasco.
Big Eater: He eats a lot when Tooru and his friends get him several boxes of donuts. However, he gets a stomachache from it.
Kid with the Leash: Coro controls Renbolar entirely through his tail, so if it gets torn off, Renbolar will rampage. Fortunately, if that happens Coro can regrow his tail, which is sped up by standing on his head.
Really 700 Years Old: Despite his child-like appearance and personality, he says he's old enough to be a great-grandfather!
Rubber-Forehead Aliens: The only physical differences between him and a human boy are that Coro has big floppy ears and a tail.

Renbolar

First Appearance: The Mischievous Alien Who Fell From His Bed

Coro's pet monster, which he controls through his tail. Thanks to Coro's control, Renbolar is actually quite harmless, despite its size and strength. Unfortunately, when of Tooru's friends pulls on Coro's tail too hard and yanks it off as a result, Renbolar ends up going berserk!

Beware the Silly Ones: Despite his goofy personality, Renbolar proved to be an extremely powerful enemy. Thankfully, Coro regrew his tail quickly enough to keep Renbolar from defeating Leo.
Everything's Better with Rainbows: Can consume rainbows^note to increase his strength. His Boss Subtitles are even "Rainbow Monster".
Fighting Clown: Renbolar's battles with Leo are highly comedic, with their first fight playing out quite similarly to a very goofy boxing match.
Ironic Fear: Is shown to be afraid of rainwater, despite that fact rainbows are created when the sun's reflection bounces off rain.
Non-Malicious Monster: As another Breather Episode monster, Renbolar is a purely peaceful creature, so long as Coro can keep him under control. But even when it goes berserk, Renbolar is still pretty ineffectual.
Pet Monstrosity: Of Alien Coro, who controls the monster via his tail.
Punny Name: Renbolar's Japanese name "Renbora" is derived from the Japanese pronunciation of "rainbow".
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Renbolar is afraid of water, and when a rainstorm hits Tokyo, the monster runs away.

Gadgeteer Genius: Built numerous robots to serve Sarin society, which tragically backfired when they destroyed his people.
Human Aliens: Though a flashback implies it's just a disguise.
Last of His Kind: Thanks to Gamelot and the other robots destroying his homeworld.

Alien Sarin Carolyn

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/carolyn_0.jpg

First Appearance: The Beautiful Maiden from Virgo

Played by: Mariko Matsuoka

Professor Dodole's beautiful granddaughter, who flees with her father to Earth to escape a robot rebellion on their homeworld. A romance begins to flourish between her and Gen on Earth, but when Gamelot arrives, it turns out Carolyn is not what she seems.

Heroic Sacrifice:In order to help Leo kill Gamelot, Carolyn self-destructs to blow a hole in Gamelot's armour.
Human Aliens: Or so it seems...
Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter: Granddaughter technically, but who's keeping track? Dodole can't really be called "mad", but he did build the robots that destroyed his homeworld. Carolyn was also beautiful enough that Gen developed feelings for her.
Robot Girl: See below.
Robotic Reveal: Turns out to be an android, and she self-destructs in order to damage Gamelot enough for Leo to kill him.

Gamelot

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gamerot_robot_mode.jpg

First Appearance: The Beautiful Maiden from Virgo

Originally built as the guardian of the Professor Dodole and Carolyn's homeworld, Gamelot was the vanguard of the robot revolution in Virgo that killed off his creators' species. After the scientists and his daughter fled to Earth, Gamelot was sent by the other robots of Virgo in search of the survivors.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: He was the most powerful of the numerous robots that once served the Sarins, built to be their defender. Unfortunately, it backfired when they rebelled and destroyed the planet.

Chest Blaster: Has numerous large red orbs on his chest that fire lasers.
Humongous Mecha: A giant robot built to protect the Virgo Consetllation from enemies, only to turn against them.
The Juggernaut: Ultraman Leo had a nigh-impossible time trying to get past Gamelot's metallic armour. It was only Carolyn's self-destruction that allowed Leo to finally bust up the robot into scrap metal.
Meaningful Name: Gamelot's alternative name Gamerot comes from "kame", the Japanese word for "turtle", which is rather fitting as Gamelot possesses the ability to retract its head and limbs into its super-tough body.
Off with His Head!: He was eventually destroyed when Leo kicks his head off.
Spell My Name With An S: Gamelot or Gamerot?
Spring Jump: Due to the powerful springs in his legs, he can jump quite high for a robot.
Transforming Mecha: Can retract his head and limbs inside his body to fly.

Alien Clean

First Appearance: The Rhinoceros Beetle is a Space Invader!

Portrayed by: Toru Hanabusa

An alien janitor who only appears in the dreams of a hypochondriac boy named Jiro, who desires to live as far away as possible from Earth pollution. Clean tells him that he can come to his world, which has no filth or pollution and is where Jiro's disappeared pet tortoise and rhinoceros beetle are supposedly living.

Ambiguous Situation: It's never made clear whether Alien Clean actually ever existed and was contacting Jiro through his dreams or was just a figment of Jiro's overactive imagination.
Ambiguously Evil: It's never explained whether Clean actually did send Satan Beetle to Earth as part of a scheme to take over the planet or whether the monster was entirely independent.
Human Aliens: He appears as one.

Satan Beetle

First Appearance: The Rhinoceros Beetle is a Space Invader!

An extraterrestrial insect-like monster that unexpectedly arrived on Earth. It was believed by a germaphobic boy named Jiro to be his lost pet rhinoceros beetle sent as an ambassador by Alien Clean to take him to the alien's far less filthy and polluted home planet.

Ambiguous Situation: It's never completely explained whether Satan Beetle actually did have anything to do with Alien Clean and Jiro's lost pet rhinoceros beetle or whether it was just a random space kaiju that coincidentally showed up at the same time. The latter is more strongly implied when Jiro manages to find his rhinoceros beetle alive and well.
Big Creepy-Crawlies: Is meant to resemble the Japanese rhinoceros beetle, or kabutomushi.
Breakout Villain: A rather strange example of this. While having very limited screen time in the form of cameos or mentions (Save for it's cameo in Ultraman Z where it was used to form Destrudos, and physical appearance in the former show's spin-off mini-seriesSevenger Fight), Satan Beetle has found a place for itself in other forms of Ultra Series media such as video games and merchandising.
Breath Weapon: Breathes poison gas.
Chest Blaster: Satan Beetle is able to fire energy missiles from from the sockets on its chest.
Four-Legged Insect: Like most insect kaiju, Satan Beetle only has two arms and two legs since that's how People in Rubber Suits work.
Giant Flyer: Like a real rhinoceros beetle, Satan Beetle's wings are hidden under its carapace.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pressure_i.png

First Appearance: Ultraman King vs. the Magician

A powerful and malicious extraterrestrial wizard who used his powers to wreak all sorts of havoc on Earth, including shrinking Ultraman Leo to the size of an action figure. It was in his appearance that the mighty Ultraman King made his debut to help Leo against the space wizard.

Alien Pressure became the subject of some minor Memetic Mutation in Japan during the release hype for Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends when comedian Takashi Okamura performed a parody of Michael Jackson's Thriller with Ultra Series monsters while in a Pressure suit to promote the film on his comedy show Mecha-Mecha Iketeru!. He also makes a cameo in the film dressed as Pressure.

Evil Sorcerer: He came to Earth for the sole purpose of wreaking havoc with his magic powers, as well as defeating Ultraman Leo.
Having a Blast: Able to generate a series of explosions by waving his hand.
Magic Wand: Pressure's weapon of choice. Displayed the following abilities:
- Dishing Out Dirt: Can cause small earthquakes.
- Mind over Matter: His staff is able to lift objects telekinetically.

- Shrink Ray: Can reduce his enemies to minuscule sizes, which he does to Ultraman Leo at the beginning of the episode.
- Smoke Out: Can create red smoke for escaping foes.
- Useless Useful Spell: Can create balloons, and he uses one to trap a shrunken Leo inside.
Nightmare Face: When the episode decides to give audiences an uncomfortable close-up on Pressure's grinning mug... sweet dreams!
Teleport Spam: Which he uses to annoy MAC as they attempt to pursue him.
Wizards from Outer Space: He's an alien wizard so powerful that Ultraman King had to reveal himself for the first time in order to save the day.

Oni-On

First Appearance: Mighty Momotaro!

An oni-like monster from the planet Apple who enjoys eating fruit. After being chased off of Apple by the planet's denizens, he came to Earth in search of more food, only to encounter opposition in the form of MAC and the son of a fruit seller named Taro who is nicknamed "Peach Boy" by his friends.

Breath Weapon: Breathes tear gas.
Big Eater: He has a huge appetite for fruit and came to Earth with the intention of eating all of the planet's fruit.
Carry a Big Stick: Wields a kanabou, a type of spiked club popularly wielded by oni in Japanese culture.
Naked People Are Funny: His kilt gets knocked down during the battle with Ultraman Leo, exposing his butt, much to his embarrassment!
Oni: He is from an episode inspired by fairy tale of Momotaro the Peach Boy after all!
Punny Name: On "onion" and "oni", which describes his breath weapon's tear gas power and appearance.
Trademark Favorite Food: He likes fruit in general, but loves apples the most.
Transflormation: Ultraman Leo defeats him by transforming him into an example of the apple trees from his home.
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Oni-On is terrified of chickens, as his home planet has a native chicken species which is around the same size to him as normal chickens are to humans, and they frequently give him trouble on his home planet.

Alien Paradai/King Paradai

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/paradai.png

Left: Alien Paradai
Right: King Paradai

First Appearance: Return of the Bearded Captain

Played by: Saiko Egawa (queen), Nobuhiro Kamiya (child)

A group of amphibious aliens who came to live on Earth, only for one of their children to be harassed by a mob of suspicious fishermen. Despite efforts to fix relations between the aliens and humans by MAC, two angry Paradai merged themselves into the kaiju King Paradai in revenge.

Breath Weapon: King Paradai breathes choking black smoke.
Ear Ache: In King Paradai form, Leo rips off both his ears during the battle.
Ear Fins: In King Paradai form.
Fish People: Their episode is inspired by the folktale of Urashima Taro, the boy who visited the bottom of the sea and the palace of Ryujin, the Japanese dragon god of the sea. However, they live in a submarine rather than swimming about in the ocean.
Fusion Dance: Two Paradai are able to transform themselves into King Paradai by merging together.
Horn Attack: King Paradai can shoot energy bolts from its horns.
Mind over Matter: The Paradai have telekinetic powers.
One-Winged Angel: Some of the human-like Paradai, angry about the attack on their children, transform themselves into the dragon-like King Paradai to destroy a fishing village, despite that fact that MAC, a friendly fisherman, and the Paradai queen had been working to patch up the incident. Ultraman Leo does not take kindly to this.
Prehensile Tail: King Paradai uses its tail to strangle Ultraman Leo in their fight.
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: The Paradai who had turned themselves into King Paradai intended on this to punish the humans for harming their children. However, Ultraman Leo was not going to tolerate their actions.

Rubber-Forehead Aliens: Except for their green skin and hair, the Paradai look exactly like humans.

Uringa

First Appearance: Reunion of Fate! Dan and Anne!

Played by: Keiji Shimizu (human form actor)

A psychic alien who uses his immense powers to wreak havoc around Tokyo. He spends most of the episode in the form of an extremely bratty boy accompanied by his alleged mother, a mysterious woman whom Dan recognizes as Anne Yuri, only to find that the lady doesn't recognize him.

Bratty Half-Pint: His human disguise, except the kid also has incredible psychic powers.
Eye Beams: Able to fire a series of telekinetic rings from his visor.
Karma Houdini: Despite all the trouble he causes, Ultraman Leo ultimately spares Uringa and takes both the alien and the woman away from Earth, leaving it forever a mystery whether the lady really was Anne or an Identical Stranger.
Mind over Matter: Has immense psychic powers, overwhelming even Dan's Ultra Willpower. In his first appearance, he uses his powers to pin Momoko and a group of children with a steel beam, and he even lifted a Ferris wheel with telekinesis!
Psychopathic Man Child: Possibly. He takes on the form of an extremely bratty little boy who uses his potent psychic powers to cause mischief and depends heavily on a maybe-Anne who may or may not be his real mother.
Shock and Awe: Can fire green lightning from the horns on his helmet.
Spike Shooter: Can fire the spikes from his armour as missiles, or even use them as daggers in melee combat.

Rolan

First Appearance: The Monster's Favour

Played by: Hiroko Sakurai (human form actress)

A bird-like alien described as the most beautiful creature in the universe, which attracted the attention of Alien Magma, who sought to marry her. She managed to escape with Leo's help, but was injured until a bike shop owner and his son helped her. In gratitude, she took on a human form to work at their bicycle shop and give toy pinwheels to children.

Abhorrent Admirer: Alien Magma is this to her. He didn't take her rejection well.
Bird People: She's an intelligent bird-like alien described as the most beautiful being in the universe. It's also worth noting she was inspired by a classic Japanese fairy tale Tsuru no Ongaeshi (usually called The Grateful Crane in English).
Chekhov's Gun: The pinwheels she made for the children, one of which Leo used to stab Magma with, killing him.
Friend to All Children: She shows signs of this, as she presents children with toy pinwheel fans she made
Informed Attribute: Admittedly, her true form is not as beautiful as the show says, but that's what happens when you recycle the costume from Alien Northsatan mixed with Alien Wolf. Her human form is played by the very attractive Hiroko Sakurai, though.
Nice Girl: She was a polite and kindhearted alien with a soft spot for children and a deep sense of gratitude towards those who showed her kindness.
Voluntary Shapeshifting: Like the fairy tale character she's based on, she takes the form of a beautiful young woman (who is no less than Akiko Fuji!) to live with the man who helped her get rid of a spear stuck in her foot from when Alien Magma had attacked her.

Alien Virmin

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/virmin_full.png

First Appearance: The White Flower that Protects Earth

Voiced by: Nobotu Nakaya (also human form actor)

An insectoid alien who disguised himself as an elderly florist with the intent of making Earth a prettier place through his sleep-inducing flowers. He also has a mysterious rivalry with a tiny woman known as the White Flower Fairy who warns Kaoru of the alien's true nature.

Archenemy: Of the enigmatic White Flower Fairy.
Evil Old Folks: His human form is an elderly man.
Faux Affably Evil: He presents himself as a kindly old man, even when his plot is uncovered, proudly stating that his flowers will beautify Tokyo and give the hard-studying children of Japan some much needed rest.
Foul Flower: Virmin's flowers may seem like dainty little beauties, but he uses them to spray children with a sleep-inducing poison.
Green Thumb: He can create poisonous flowers that put humans to sleep. Additionally, his antennae can fire a laser that creates entangling vines around his enemies, as well as fire a mist from his hands that makes his poisonous flowers grow on whatever they hit.
Insectoid Aliens: Sorta looks like a giant cockroach.
Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Sounds like "vermin".
Punny Name: On "vermin", since he's an insect-like alien.
Spell My Name With An S: Virmin or Vermin? It all depends on how literally you translate his name.
Would Hurt a Child: Turns on Kaoru once she got suspicious and threw his flowers on the floor.
Your Head Asplode: His fate after Leo's Ches tTimer shot gets him in the face. Followed immediately by the rest of his body.

Kirara

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kiraa_i.png

First Appearance: Farewell, Princess Kaguya!

Voiced by: Takeshi Watabe

A monster from the Moon who comes to Earth to pick up a lovely young lady named Kaguya who was unaware of the fact that she was actually the princess of the Moon sent to Earth as an infant. However, Kaguya is reluctant to part with her Earth family, and even Gen doesn't believe Kirara should take the princess back home.

Ambiguous Situation: Given that Ultraman Ace establishes that the Moon had its own civilisation, only to have it destroyed by Yapool and his creation, Lunaticks (the latter of whom drained the Moon of its magma, reverting it to a rocky desert), it's unclear if Kirara and Kaguya are representatives from this civilisation, a separate nation which happened to survive the Moon's transformation into its present state, or one which arose after these events took place.
Breath Weapon: Breathes a shower of explosive sparks.
Chest Blaster: The bright pattern on his underside can fire out a beam of energy that can create blinding flashes of light, cause a small earthquake, or even give Kaguya her true princess outfit.
Non-Malicious Monster: Kirara's goal was to pick up Princess Kaguya, who had been left on Earth as a baby by the people of the Moon to hide her from enemies. However, Kaguya isn't aware of this and refuses to leave the old couple who have taken care of her for the past 15 years. Ultraman Leo agrees likewise.
Rolling Attack: Kirara can roll himself up into a meteor, which he uses to smash into enemies, as well as fly between Earth and the Moon.

Alien Akumania

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/akumania.PNG

As a creepy Faceless Eye.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alien_akuma_ginga_s.png

Later as a kaiju.

First Appearance: Leo Brothers vs. the Space Demon

Voiced by: Eiji Maruyama

A demon-like alien who arrives on Earth in the form of a giant floating eyeball, causing all sorts of disturbing supernatural happenings around an apartment ground with his mere presence. Alien Akumania has also made a few reappearances in later series like Ultraman Ginga S.

Aim for the Horn: Has one of it's horns kicked off by Leo.
An Arm and a Leg: Leo rips off both his arms during their fight.
Breakout Villain: Not to the extent of Alien Magma and Alien Babalou, or Nova, but Akumania has proven to be decently popular enough to earn some reappearances.
Casting a Shadow: Can cloak a targeted area in darkness.
Cephalothorax: His eye and mouth are located on his chest and belly.
Cyclops: Has a single eye.
Detachment Combat: Leo managed to rip off Akumania's arms at the peak of the battle, only to realize the alien can remotely control it's arms to float around, using these to ambush Leo from behind and choke the Ultra to the point of needing Astra's assistance.
Eye Beams: In eyeball form, he can fire energy blasts, as well as a ray of energy that causes spectral hands to appear out of the ground and grab victims.
Eye Scream: Gets his eye punctured during his battle against Leo and Astra when they toss one of his horns into it.
Faceless Eye: Can transform himself into one for flight.
Meaningful Name / Names to Run Away from Really Fast : "Akuma" translates as "demon" in Japanese.
Mind over Matter: Has telekinetic powers. In fact, when Leo tears off his arms in the fight, Akumania uses his telekinesis to guide his severed arms to strangle Leo and reattach them to his body.
Our Demons Are Different: His name is derived from the Japanese word for "demon" and he also has several demonic powers, but really he's just an extraterrestrial.
Reality Warper: As a giant floating eye, Akumania can summon floating limbs from out of nowhere, put it's victims in a trance as it traps them in another dimension, submerge it's surroundings in a nightmarish realm, all that and more. But it lose this ability once Leo pierces it's eye.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: The central eye in Akumania's body tends to glow red when it starts using its reality-bending powers, one of it's most powerful attacks.
Starfish Aliens: Easily one of the weirdest alien designs in this series.

Ashuran

First Appearance: Ultra Brothers, Eternal Vows

A two-faced demon-like monster that attacked Ultraman Jack while he was on his way to give Sevengar to Dan and take the Ultra Eye back to M78 for repairs. Ashuran used its powers to create a muzzle around Jack that remained when he became Hideki Goh, preventing Jack from speaking.

Blood from the Mouth: Pukes yellow blood from both sides after Jack and Leo executes a fatal kick from both directions.
Breath Weapon: Breathes fire from both faces.
Eye Beams: Fires bolts of energy from both of his faces, but can also shoot out a beam that encases its victim's mouth in a near-indestructible iron mask, which he used to prevent Goh from being able to say anything to Dan and Gen.
Know When to Fold 'Em: He barely survives a thrashing from Sevengar until the robot is forced back into capsule form, and later upon witnessing Gen Ohtori, Dan Moroboshi and Hideki Go - recognizing these to be the human forms of Ultraman Leo, Ultraseven and Ultraman Jack, Ashuran immediately scrams because he knew the battle is no longer on his favour.
Meaningful Name: Ashuran's name is derived from the Asuras, a class of demons in Indian mythology (and later imported to Japan through the spread of Buddhism) that are sometimes portrayed with multiple faces.
Oni: Although he's mainly based on the Indian Asuras, Ashuran also takes heavy inspiration from Oni as evidenced by his red-and-blue design.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: Invoked with his design, which is entirely red on one side and entirely blue on the other side. However, they're pretty much the same in every other aspect.
Total Eclipse of the Plot: Ashuran chose to invade the earth during an eclipse, because his powers are fueled by darkness and the lack of moonlight will make him stronger than ever. Luckily in the final battle, Jack is around to assist Leo to take down Ashuran.
Two-Faced: One side of Ashuran is red and the other is blue, but otherwise they're totally identical.

Sevengar

First Appearance: Ultra Brothers, Eternal Vows

A powerful robotic Capsule Monster stored within an item known as a Monster Ball. Ultraman Jack gave Sevengar to Dan as something to help him assist Ultraman Leo while Jack took Ultraseven's Ultra Eye back to the Land of Light for some much-needed repairs.

After a nearly 50-year absence from the franchise, Sevengar returned in Ultraman Z as a recurring ally of the titular Ultra hero, although this time, the robot is of human construction rather than Ultra design.

Sevengar would finally, finally get to battle several of Leo's enemies in its very own spin-off, Sevenger Fight, in which it gets the spotlight as the titular hero for once.

Awesome, but Impractical: Although Sevengar managed to pummel Ashuran with ease when released, his 50 hour recharge time and one minute time limit meant he ultimately did very little against the demon-like kaiju. This is the likely reason why he's never used again afterwards.
Breakout Character: Was once a very obscure and underrated kaiju back in 1974, but when he made his re-appearance in Ultraman Z 46 years later, Sevenger's popularity would skyrocket, turning him into one of the most well known characters in the entire franchise.
Hand Blast: Fires missiles from his fingertips.
Hour of Power: Unlike Seven's Capsule Monsters (but similar to the Maquette Monsters of Ultraman Mebius), Sevengar can only last for one minute before returning to his capsule. Afterwards, the capsule cannot be used for the next 50 hours as he recharges.
Humongous Mecha: A giant 58 meter (190 foot) tall robot that the Ultras had specifically created for usage as a Capsule Monster.
Mons: He's a Capsule Monster like Miclas, Windam, and Agira, and even has a "Monster Ball" (beating Pokemon by about 20 years!).
Rolling Attack: Thanks to his cylindrical body shape, Sevengar can use himself as an impromptu steamroller to flatten Ashuran, as seen in their battle.
Sealed Good in a Can: He's stored inside in a football-shaped object called a Monster Ball, which looks very different from the capsules used by Dan in Ultraseven.
Spell My Name With An S: Sevengar or Sevenger?
Super-Strength: Which is what makes Sevengar is the most powerful of all the Capsule Monsters, allowing him to overpower Ashuran with no problems.
Tin-Can Robot: Sevengar has a very canister-shaped body.

Taishoh

First Appearance: I'm the Monster General

Voiced by: Fuyumi Shiraishi

A naughty alien child sealed inside a jar by his parents for his misbehavior and poor grades in school. Taishoh's prison eventually arrived on Earth, where a boy with an equally poor performance at school named Miyasaka, "the Monster General", befriended him, only for the alien brat to cause him a lot of trouble.

Amusing Alien: He's another Breather Episode monster, so this is a given. The worst he really does is destroy an empty school building when he turns giant-sized, but the kids don't seem to mind.
Attack Reflector: The warts on his body are able to reflect projectile attacks.
Bilingual Bonus: His name means "'General" in Japanese, which reflects his friendship with a kid nicknamed "the Monster General". Taishoh's the literal monster general.
Bratty Half-Pint: The reason why his parents have sealed him inside a magical pot was due to his extremely bad behaviour and performance at school. When he arrives on Earth, he causes just as much havoc for the kids and MAC.
Cool and Unusual Punishment: Taishoh was placed inside a magical pot and thrown into space for how much of a brat he was, but Miyasaka released him when he arrived on Earth. Ultraman Leo seals him back up again for all the trouble he causes.
Fighting Clown: His battle with Ultraman Leo is very much a slapstick-type fight, befitting of Taishoh's mischievous behaviour.
Potty Failure: Suffers from this when Miyasaka brings him inside the jar to school, only for Taishoh to have to really use the bathroom. It turns out the jar has a leak too, much to Miyasaka's embarrassment!

Alien Atlanta

First Appearance: Fly, Leo Brothers! Save the Space Base!

Played by: Tetsuo Nogawa (human form actor)

A sinister alien who takes the form of an astronaut named Uchida who, unbeknownst to everyone but Gen and Dan, was killed when he landed on Atlanta's homeworld. He joined MAC in his human disguise, intending to plant a bomb in the MAC base to assassinate the supreme commander of MAC, who happened to be the father of Uchida's fiance.

Badass Normal: Despite not really having any unique combat powers beyond the usual size-increasing one, he gave Ultraman Leo a tough enough time that Astra had to show up and help him out.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Gen and Dan know all too well that Uchida is in fact Alien Atlanta coming to Earth with murderous intentions, but because Uchida is highly regarded by the rest of MAC and is supposed to marry the daughter of MAC's top leader, they can do pretty much nothing to stop him.
Dead Person Impersonation: Takes on the form of Uchida, whom he killed, in order to join MAC and destroy them.

Alien Mazaras

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alien_mazara.png

First Appearance: Mystery! The Devil in the Mirror!

Voiced by: Chisako Hara (also human form actress)

An alien who resides in the mirror world. She stepped out of her realm to capture Kaoru in an effort to replace her own lost daughter by impersonating the girl's deceased mother while also sending out her monster servant Specter to ravage the human world.

Dead Person Impersonation: Takes on the form of Tooru and Kaoru's mother to capture Kaoru. Kaoru sees through the disguise when she sees her brother being harmed by Specter's rampage and realizes her mother would have also tried to save Tooru in such a situation.
Master of Illusion: Asides from taking the form of Tooru and Kaoru's dead mother, she also creates various hallucinations to confuse Ultraman Leo in their fight.
Mirror Monster: Unlike most Ultra Series aliens, Mazaras isn't the name of her homeworld. She lives in the mirror realm instead.
Oni: Essentially an Oni mixed with Bloody Mary, in terms of appearance and behaviour.
Tragic Villain: Mazaras kidnapped Kaoru to replace her deceased daughter, so even Ultraman Leo felt bad for her when they fought.

Specter

First Appearance: Mystery! The Devil in the Mirror!

Alien Mazaras' monster minion and a fellow native of the mirror world she inhabits. Mazaras sent Specter out into the human world to ravage Tokyo while she personally dealt Ultraman Leo when he came out rescue Kaoru from her clutches and break the illusions cast on the girl.

Attack Reflector: Its mirror-like body can reflect weak attacks, such as the gunfire from MAC.
The Dragon: Of Alien Mazaras.
Literally Shattered Lives: Specter shatters into hundreds of mirror shards when Ultraman Leo kills it.
Mirror Monster: Not only does Specter hail from the same realm as its master Mazaras, but it is also completely made out of mirrors!
Poisonous Person: Is able to shoot toxic gas from its hands.
Power Crystal: Specter has several on its head that are able to shoot out weak energy beams.

Alien Babalou

First Appearance: Battle! Leo Brothers vs. Ultra Brothers!

Voiced by: Motomu Kiyokawa

One of the most wicked aliens in the universe, Alien Babalou kidnapped and impersonated Astra to steal the Ultra Key, the device that keeps the Land of Light in orbit, before coming to Earth. As a result, the Ultra Brothers branded Astra a traitor, leading to a vicious battle with Ultraman Leo (who continued to remain loyal to his brother, not knowing he was supporting an impostor) while the Ultra homeworld was sent on a collision course with Earth.

Among Ultraman Leo's most iconic and dangerous enemies, Alien Babalou has reappeared many times in other entries of the Ultra Series, where he remains a cunning and powerful foe who continues to use his shapeshifting abilities to sow havoc and distrust among humans and Ultras alike.

Arm Cannon: His left arm's bracer is equipped with a small one capable of launching small purple lasers.
Blade Below the Shoulder: He possesses a small switchblade on his right arm's bracer.
Breakout Villain: Babalou is probably the most frequently reappearing, as well as the most popular, of Ultraman Leo's enemies, not surprising given his manipulative nature and formidable combat abilities.
Climax Boss: Can be seen as this for Leo due to not only being the last villain before Commander Black, but his plan also put the Land of Light in jeopardy instead of just Earth along with the need of both King and Astra to stop his plan.
The Dreaded: Even before stealing the Ultra Key, he was already an infamous alien, which the Ultra Brothers were wary of till the point he is known as the ruler of the dark universe.
Evil Knockoff: His main combat specialty and the general role in many of his appearances is to transform himself into an evil version of an Ultraman, such as Astra or Ultraman Hikari, in order to sow distrust between human and Ultras, or Ultras and each other. His default form even had a chest timer, much like the Ultras.
Grappling-Hook Gun: Comes with the arm cannon on his left bracer, serving to ensnare foes.
Horned Humanoid: The two pointy horns sticking from his hair. According to one manga, they're the source of his shapeshifting powers.
Jerkass: Babalou is cruel, aggressive, arrogant, and manipulative. He delights in the distrust and prejudice he creates in using his disguises for evil, even going as far as to use Leo's loyalty to his brother to deceive him into battling the Ultra Brothers.
Manipulative Bastard: He uses the disguise of Astra to trick Ultraman Leo into battling the Ultra Brothers and assists him in the process. If it wasn't for a timely reveal by Ultraman King, the Earth and the Land of Light would have both been destroyed.
Shapeshifter: Like Alien Zarab of the original Ultraman fame, he specializes in doing this. However, he's no wimp in combat once the heroes catch on to his disguise.
Spell My Name With An S: Babalou or Babarue?

Black Star Aliens

Commander Black

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kuro_shirei.jpg

First Appearance: MAC Annihilated! The Flying Saucer is a Living Creature!

Played by: Takeshi Obayashi

A sinister alien of mysterious origins who commands monsters known as the Flying Saucer Beasts. Commander Black is the Big Bad for the final twelve episodes of the show, calling forth his minions from a sentient planet called the Black Star, with him and his monsters proving to be among Ultraman Leo's deadliest opponents in the series.

Artifact of Doom: His crystal ball summoned the Flying Saucer Beasts, Bunyo, and the Black Star itself.
Badass Cape: Wears a transparent black cape that flows around as he's commanding his monsters.
Beard of Evil: Sports a very villainous-looking goatee.
The Beastmaster: He's the commander of the Flying Saucer Beasts.
Big Bad: Becomes this with his arrival as the series didn't really have one previously.
Combat Pragmatist: Commander Black does not fight fair in the slightest, and will take any openning he can find to get an edge in a fight.
Crystal Ball: He carries one that is used to call forth the Flying Saucer Beasts from the Black Star.
Establishing Character Moment: His debut has him wipe all of MAC out and kill an entire shopping mall full of people with Silver Bloom...while calmly walking through the panicked civilians before giving a Slasher Smile.
Evil Is Hammy: While we don't hear him speak very much early on, his habit dramatically announcing the names of the next Flying Saucer Beast would certainly qualify him for it.
Evil Wears Black: From the hat to the cape to the tip of his boots.
Genre Savvy: Whereas most Ultra Series aliens will see humans as too puny to be of any threat to them and end up defeated because of that assumption, Commander Black knows that a defense team can legitimately be a threat and takes MAC down before they can even know of his invasion plans.
Glass Cannon: A deadly, cunning enemy who's not physically strong. Children took him down!
Hate Sink: There's absolutely nothing redeeming about Commander Black, with each and every last ten episodes of the series depicting him as nothing but pure scum. His eventual death in the last episode is treated as a moment of awesome in the entire series.
Hero Killer: Kills all of MAC in his first appearance. He later temporarily kills Leo by hacking him to pieces.
Hollywood Heart Attack: When he got separated from his crystal ball, before he melted, he clutched his chest and extended his other arm skyward while contorting his body, just like the stereotypical sufferer of a heart attack.
Human Aliens: When his face is finally revealed, he looks very much like a human.
I'm Melting!: Dissolves into foam after being killed by Tooru and his friends.
Karmic Death: Repeatedly endangers the children Leo has befriended and uses one as a hostage for the Final Battle. Those kids proceed to beat him to death.
Knight of Cerebus: The series was already dark, this guy took it to a whole other level. To point: before his debut is over, he's already gotten a double digit body count.
Looks Like Cesare: In his original appearance, more obvious when he's dying.
No-Nonsense Nemesis: One of the most dangerous things about Commander Black is he does not mess around in the slightest. To note, his first appearance had him ambush MAC in their base and become the only villain in the franchise to successfully wipe out the Ultra's support group before Leo even knew he existed. Each of his monsters is extremely lethal, often having a huge body count, and both Black and his creations have next to no hesitation of exploiting knowing Leo's Secret Identity to get an edge on him. When he finally has Leo at his mercy thanks to Bunyo, he freezes him to keep him restrained and instantly executes him by hacking him to pieces.
Orcus on His Throne: Normally just commands his monsters from a distance and doesn't fight Leo himself. Justified, as while capable of jumping far distances, he's ultimately overwhelmed by children, so he wouldn't be much of a match for Leo. Subverted in the manga adaptation, where he grows giant to fight Leo himself.
Sadist: It's quite clear Black really enjoys what he's doing while murdering hundreds of people and slicing Leo to pieces.
Slasher Smile: Flashes many, both subtle and completely psychotic.
Soul Jar: Losing his crystal ball accelerated his death.
Taking You with Me: When he's killed, the Black Star attempts a Colony Drop in an attempt to take the earth with him. Fortunately, Leo blows it up.
The Villain Knows Where You Live: He's aware of Leo's Secret Identity and makes very good use of that fact.
Would Hurt a Child: Repeatedly has his monsters target Leo's young friends to get at him. In Leo's battle with Black End during the finale, he threatens to kill Tooru in an attempt to demoralize the hero and let his monster win. It almost works.

Flying Saucer Beasts in General

Also known as the Living Saucers, Saucer Creatures, and similar titles, the Flying Saucer Beasts are a class of alien kaiju that can transform into flying saucers (or assume an approximate form to one) for space travel. They all serve Commander Black, who calls them forth from a sentient planet known as the Black Star. Most of them debuted in this series, with one additional Flying Saucer Beast being introduced in Ultraman Mebius (and detailed on that series' characters page).

The Dragon: All eleven of them are this to Commander Black, albeit consecutively instead of simultaneously.
Flying Saucer: As their name suggests, they assume the form of flying saucers to travel.
Flying Seafood Special: Many of them resemble flying versions of sea creatures like jellyfish, crabs, sea stars, and clams.

Silver Bloome

First Appearance: MAC Annihilated! The Flying Saucer is a Living Creature!

The first of the Flying Saucer Beasts to be sent to Earth, the jellyfish-like Silver Bloome quickly showed off how much more lethal these monsters were compared to Leo's previous foes through a real whammy of an introductory rampage that dealt deep blows to Gen and Tooru.

Big Eater: Eats the MAC space station!.
Combat Tentacles: Relies on these in battle, as well as to wrap around anything it desires to consume.
Expy: Appears to be based on Toho's flying jellyfish monster, Dogora, sharing similar traits such as attack tentacles, sizeshifting abilities, and a massive mouth which it used to swallow it's victims whole.
Flying Seafood Special: A gigantic jellyfish.
Gutted Like a Fish: Ultraman Leo rips his insides out at the conclusion of their penultimate battle.
Knight of Cerebus: As the very first of the Flying Saucer Beasts, Silver Bloome shows how dark things are getting by killing all of MAC (except Gen), Momoko, Kaoru, and Takeshi within the first 6 minutes of the episode.
Odd Name Out: Silver Bloome is the only member of the Saucer Beasts who is named from a different colour besides black; every other creature is either "Black X" or no colour at all.
Poisonous Person: Silver Bloome can spew a highly flammable, toxic liquid from its mouth. However, rainwater seems to dilute this, as Leo's Battle in the Rain with the monster sees him and some kids get splashed by the stuff with no effect.
Sizeshifter: Makes itself tiny, which it does to hide from Ultraman Leo for most of the episode.
Swallowed Whole: Silve Bloome can consume nearly anything completely, increasing the size of its mouth as appropriate.
Voluntary Shapeshifting: Can transform itself into a rock shaped like a flying saucer. Tooru and his friends discover it and bring it to class, where Silver Bloome shifts into its small form and attacks their teacher later on.

Black Dome

First Appearance: The Flying Saucer Beast From an Evil Planet is Here!

The second Flying Saucer Beast to come to Earth. The crustacean-shaped Black Dome caused trouble by injuring the family of one of Tooru's friends, Oba, when the kids accidentally attracted its attention in an attempt to try make contact with alien spacecraft.

Cruel and Unusual Death: After Leo uses his Leo Spark on Black Dome's mouth, the monster's digestive enzymes begin bursting out of his body, and this process appears to be especially painful. Fortunately, Leo quickly puts Black Dome out of his misery by using the Shooting Beam to blow the monster to pieces.
Flying Seafood Special: A crab.
Giant Enemy Crab: Based on horseshoe crabs and fiddler crabs to be exact.
Right Hand of Doom: Like a fiddler crab, Black Dome's left pincer is far larger and stronger than his right one.
Sizeshifter: He makes himself tiny to hide for most of the episode.
Super Spit: Black Dome spits a light blue-green foam containing the digestive enzyme pepsin, capable of turning apartments into mush within minutes.

Absorba

First Appearance: Leo is in Danger! The Assassin is a Flying Saucer Beast!

The third Flying Saucer Beast summoned by Commander Black. The jellyfish-like Absorba hid from Gen between rampages by shrinking itself and letting itself be come under the protection of a lonely boy named Hideyuki who loves animals and tends to any injured specimens he finds.

Combat Tentacles: They are mainly used to fire energy blasts or shoot fire instead.
Farmer and the Viper: Despite Hideyuki attempting to tend to it, Absorba repays his kindness by destroying his shed and killing some of the other animals he looks after.
Flying Seafood Special: Another gigantic jellyfish, just like Silver Bloome.
Manipulative Bastard: Takes advantage of a boy's love for animals to be sheltered in a small shed when not rampaging.
Meaningful Name: Absorba absorbs oil to gain its fire powers.
Playing with Fire: Can use the suction cups at the tips of its tentacles to act like flamethrowers.
Shock and Awe: Absorba can fire a beam of electrical energy from the top of its body.
Sizeshifter: Takes on a small form when hiding.
Ungrateful Bastard: Attempts to kill the kid taking care of it, burning down his shed and killing a few of his animals in the process too!

Deemos

First Appearance: Challenge! Terror of the Vampiric Saucer!

The fourth Flying Saucer Beast, this one resembling a monstrous brittle star. Deemos spent most of its episode as multiple tiny individuals attacking innocents for their blood as a warning from Commander Black to Gen that if he did not surrender, every last human he knew and loved would be killed.

Acid Attack: Spits acid from its midsection that is able to dissolve a human in seconds.
Asteroids Monster: Deemos can split into tiny versions of itself to drink human blood. Additionally, when Deemos is blown into pieces, its various bits simply take a life of their own.
Combat Tentacles: Equipped with 7 of these.
Flying Seafood Special: An enormous brittle star.
Our Vampires Are Different: Another Ultra monster with vampire-like traits, but it feeds on blood by splitting into lots of hard-to-see small forms that attack humans by hiding in unexpected places.
Spell My Name With An S: Deemos or Demos?

Black Garon

First Appearance: The Shooting Star from Hell

The fifth Flying Saucer Beast called forth from the Black Star. Resembling a cross between a toad and a turtle, Black Garon arrived on Earth disguised as a meteorite in order to hide itself from Ultraman Leo and be taken in by an unwitting scientist until the time was right to strike.

Hand Blast: Black Garon is able to fire a shower of explosive sparks from the ends of its arms.
Mix-and-Match Critters: Black Garon had toad features mixed with turtle qualities.
Overly-Long Tongue: Works as a rope or a whip to smash structures or entangle Ultraman Leo for combat.
Tongue Trauma: At the conclusion of his battle with Leo, Leo chops off his tongue, which somehow leads to the entire tongue exploding with enough force to kill Black Garon.
Voluntary Shapeshifting: Disguises itself as a lumpy meteorite for most of the episode, hiding in a science laboratory.

Blizzard

First Appearance: The Phantom Girl

The sixth Flying Saucer Beast. The bizarre-looking, two-faced Blizzard assumed the form of a small and mute girl named Mayuko who carried about an eerie doll that breathes freezing gas in order to assassinate scientists that were trying to learn more about the Black Star.

An Ice Person: Both in human and monster form, Blizzard can spray freezing gas.
Chest Blaster: Blizzard's fire and ice attacks are emitted from an orb-shaped structure on its stomach.
Creepy Child: Its human disguise, Mayuko, a mute little girl who wanders around carrying her Creepy Doll.
Creepy Doll: Mayuko carries one that breathes freezing gas.
Dead Person Impersonation: It is implied in the episode that Mayuko was actually a dead child that Blizzard took the form upon, not unlike Vakishim a few years earlier.
Playing with Fire: Blizzard can also shoot out fire.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: Blizzard's design invokes this, with one side of its body being red and having fire powers and the other side being blue with ice powers.
Two-Faced: Much like Ashuran from earlier, Blizzard has a face on the front and another on the back. The front has a blue outline and manipulates ice, while the back is red and control fire.
Voluntary Shapeshifting: Takes on the form of a little girl named Mayuko for most of the episode.

Hangler

First Appearance: The Fighting Leo Brothers! End of the Flying Saucer Beast!

The seventh Flying Saucer Beast summoned to Earth, this one bearing a resemblance to an anglerfish. Hangler attacked cars by disguising itself as a tunnel with a mysteriously out-of-place traffic light in order to devour drivers and their vehicles under the cover of night.

Big Eater: Devours an entire highway of cars trapped in a traffic jam in one scene.
Breath Weapon: Breathes fire.
Eat Me: Astra helps Leo defeat Hangler by flying inside the monster's mouth and somehow causing it to explode from within.
Flying Seafood Special: Since it's a Flying Saucer Beast, although based on a fish instead of an invertebrate.
Luring in Prey: Hangler's lure is disguised as a mysteriously misplaced traffic light, leading unsuspecting drivers into its cavernous mouth.
Punny Name: Hangler's Japanese name "Hungura" is a combination of the Japanese pronunciations of "hungry" and "angler".
Spell My Name With An S: Also spelled as Hungler and Hanglar.
Tunnel King: A capable burrower, sticking out only its maw and lure from the earth to create the illusion of a tunnel at night.
Vacuum Mouth: Hangler's preferred tactic of consuming vehicles is simply sucking them up through its mouth.

Black Terrina

First Appearance: The Girl Who Collected the Stardust of Demons

The eighth Flying Saucer Beast, which resembled a tentacled clam. Black Terrina initiated its assault on Japan by sending small versions of itself that resembled normal but beautiful seashells. These shells were then unwittingly distributed by a little girl named Mariko, upon which they attacked people.

Achilles' Heel: Being a clam, Black Terrina has a soft body underneath the shell. When Leo manages to get a hold of it, his beatings result in serious injury for Black Terrina.
Alien Blood: He bleeds blue and yellow blood.
Breath Weapon: Spits an explosive shower of sparks from within its shell.
Combat Tentacles: Has about six tentacles growing from the inside of its shell, with four of them ending in claws.
Eye Scream: Black Terrina's minions jump at people's eyes, clamping into them and causing horrible bleeding. Even Gen was pretty hurt when one managed to get him.
Flying Seafood Special: A clam-based kaiju.
Gutted Like a Fish: After Terrina gets weakened by being electrocuted by a power transformer, its shell pops open, and Leo takes action, immediately ripping out Terrina's insides with his bare hands, resulting in plenty of Terrina's blood splashing on Leo's face.
The Juggernaut: As a clam-based monster, Black Terrina's shell rendered completely immune to Ultraman Leo's Finishing Moves. But once he gets a hold on Terrina's insides, the tables are turned.
Mind Control: The tiny Terrinas do this to victims they attack.
Mook Maker: Conjures tiny versions of itself that resemble very pretty but perfectly ordinary seashells until they attack. Unfortunately, one little girl thought they were beautiful enough to be given to everyone in Tokyo...

Satan Moa

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/satan_mora_i.png

First Appearance: The Giant Saucer Bird Attacks Tokyo

The ninth Flying Saucer Beast to attack Earth and a decidedly avian creature. Satan Moa launched its assault on Tokyo by spawning tiny versions of itself to peck people to death while it attempted to use its beak to knock down a skyscraper full of people that Gen happened to be inside at the time.

Beak Attack: Asides from its little minions attacking civilians on the streets, Satan Moa uses its beak like a giant woodpecker on a skyscraper full of screaming people to cause mass panic.
Blinded by the Light: Satan Moa can make powerful flashes of light from its shoulder to blind enemies.
Breath Weapon: Able to spit out organic missiles from its beak.
Eye Beams: Can fire a pair of highly accurate lasers from its eyes capable of shooting down planes.
Giant Flyer: As the only bird-based Flying Saucer Beast, which is rather strange as its named after a type of flightless bird (although its motif is meant to be a woodpecker).
Kick the Dog: Satan Moa makes a building (luckily, a Conveniently Empty Building - there's a few interior shots for good measure) collapse during it's battle with Leo, and as Leo uses his body to hold the building in place (to prevent civilians from getting crushed) the monster gleefully uses this opportunity to continue roughing up Leo with it's beak!
Mix-and-Match Critters: While Satan Moa is a bird-themed kaiju (evidenced by it's name), it's wings resemble closer to bats. It's body design also have an Arthropod look resembling insects.
Mook Maker: Creates tiny versions of itself that fly out of its chest to peck civilians in an assault that would make Alfred Hitchcock proud.
Spell My Name With An S: Sometimes called Satan Mora.

Nova

First Appearance: The Red Assassin That Beckons Death!

The tenth Flying Saucer Beast that Commander Black summons. The bizarre Nova disguised itself as a red Teru-Teru Bōzu, letting itself be discovered by an unhappy Tooru before taking control of the boy to create illusions of his deceased family for him and spraying its red insanity gas at all who approached.

Noted as one of the weirdest kaiju ever made for the Ultra Series, Nova has become the most iconic of the Flying Saucer Beasts and has consequently made several other appearances in the franchise. It is one of the very few Ultraman Leo kaiju (rather than aliens) that the producers have ever brought back with notable reappearances including Ultraman Mebius and Ultraman Orb.

Beware the Silly Ones: Yes, it looks silly, but Nova is a very dangerous monster and among the most powerful Flying Saucer Beasts.
Breakout Villain: Along with Alien Magma and Alien Babalou, Nova is considered one of the "mascot monsters" of Ultraman Leo, and is by far the most famous of the Saucer Monsters, other than Silver Bloome. Its sheer weirdness probably helps with the memorability.
Breath Weapon: Asides from the insanity gas, Nova can shoot fireballs from its mouth. These fireballs split into smaller ones upon impact to generate a series of explosions.
Climax Boss: Of Tooru Umeda Character arc. For most of the series, especially the black star aliens arc, he has been haunted by what he has lost, and in the episode itself he's basically given up on life which allows Nova to take control of him. However, thanks to the love of his adopted family he is able to break free of Nova, and finally move on.
Combat Tentacles: Nova's right hand is a cluster of whip-like tentacles that are able to stretch out to impressive lengths.
Eye Beams: Able to fire a pair of blue lasers from its eyes.
Hate Plague: Nova's signature ability is its deadly "Red Crazy Gas", that cause humans to turn violently insane. Against Ultras it functions more as a smokescreen.
Meaningful Name: Nova is the ninth Saucer Beast to appear in the series in general, and appropriately enough "Nova" is a variation of "nine" in old English. Averted in it's future appearances however.
Mind Control: What it does Tooru, by latching itself onto his shoulder, causing him to see illusions of his deceased family beckoning him.
Our Monsters Are Weird: Giant, red Teru-Teru Bōzu that breathes insanity gas and turns into a flying saucer...You gotta wonder where the monster designers come up with these ideas sometimes.
Red Is Violent: Asides from being a very dangerous kaiju, there's also the red insanity gas, as well as the Red Zone that Nova summoned in its final fight with Ultraman Leo, blotting out the sun and casting the battlefield with a malevolent red glow, where even the rain is red.
Sinister Scythe: Nova's left hand is a giant sickle.
Sizeshifter: Can turn itself into a smaller form that can be mistake for a Teru-Teru Bōzu. The illusion goes away once the little guy starts spraying insanity gas at people though.
Spin Attack: Nova transforms into flying saucer mode by spinning its body about into a disc-like shape. In flying saucer form, Nova is able to slam into foes at high speeds.
Teru-Teru Bōzu: Nova's inspiration. Goes to show you can make anything into a kaiju.

Alien Bunyo

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bunyo.png

First Appearance: Leo's Life! The King's Miracle!

Voiced by: Keizo Kanie (also human form actor)

An alien mercenary hired by Commander Black when he was down to his last Flying Saucer Beast. Although Commander Black was unimpressed by the alien's goofy mannerisms and attitude, Bunyo had a foolproof plan to defeat Ultraman Leo and soon proved himself to be one of the hero's deadliest foes.

Ambiguous Situation: It's not made clear if he's an alien from planet Bunyo or a Flying Saucer Beast, further muddled by the fact that he doesn't have a saucer form despite bearing the subtitle. Supplementary materials usually lists him among the Saucer Beasts due to being sent by the Black Star.
Ax-Crazy: Made most clear when he kidnaps Ms. Miyama while cackling manically, warning Gen and Tooru not to call the police or he'll kill her. Then there's when he and Commander Black hack Ultraman Leo to pieces with a saw.
Beware the Silly Ones: Bunyo proved to be one of Ultraman Leo's most formidable enemies despite his silly behavior and design. Even Commander Black was impressed.
Breath Weapon: Asides from his slime, he also spits showers of explosive sparks.
Curb-Stomp Battle: Gave a serious beatdown to a defenseless, frozen Leo.
Faux Affably Evil: Sure, Bunyo acts friendly and silly, but if you don't watch your back, you're probably not going to live much longer.
Hero Killer: He and Commander Black manage to capture Gen and chop Ultraman Leo into pieces! Fortunately, Ultraman King showed up at the last minute to save Leo.
I'm Melting!: He dissolves into a puddle of slime upon death.
Little Green Men: His normal form, complete with antennae.
Meaningful Name: "Bunyo" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for something bouncy, echoing his gelatinous, boneless appearance.
Mood Whiplash: His antics were sometimes chuckle-inducing (notice his first encounter with Gen); the outcome, dead serious.
Morphic Resonance: His human form is dressed in a green hoodie, echoing his appearance in his true form.
Off with His Head!: Ultraman Leo defeats him by kicking his head off his shoulders with a well-placed Leo Kick.
Overly-Long Tongue: Used to strangle Leo.
Psycho for Hire: Commander Black brought him in to kill Ultraman Leo after Black End was all he had left.
Slippery Skid: Can spit out dark green slippery slime, which it used to trip up Leo during their battle.
Super Spit: Bunyo can spit great quantities of an oil-like substance to knock opponents off balance and make standing difficult. His skin is coated in smaller quantities of a similar substance as protection against attacks.
Vile Villain, Laughable Lackey: He's far sillier than his no-nonsense boss, though he quickly makes it clear that "vile" and "laughable" aren't mutually exclusive descriptions of him.
Wounded Gazelle Gambit: He feigned injury to attack Gen (as soon as he discovered Gen was Leo) and to kidnap Sakiko Miyama.

Black End

First Appearance: Goodbye, Leo! Journey to the Sun!

The last and mightiest of the Flying Saucer Beasts. Commander Black wanted the dragon-like Black End to defeat Ultraman Leo above all else and the Black Star followed close behind, all while Gen began to question if the world really needed Ultraman Leo after all the death and suffering the monsters coming after him had brought.

Aim for the Horn: Black End has tusks all over it's body, two on the front and two in the back. Leo rips off the two back tusks and later on Black End falls flat on it's face, breaking it's front tusks as well.
Armless Biped: Presumably, Black End's tail serves as balance.
Beware My Stinger Tail: Its tail has a pincer that can be used to grab foes.
Breath Weapon: A stream of fire.
Cephalothorax: Black End is pretty much a little head on a big body with legs and a tail.
Dracolich: Part of it's design inspiration, as the monster have a draconic skull for a head.
Final Boss: Largest and strongest of all the Saucer Beasts, and the very last enemy Ultraman Leo needs to face in his series.
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Leo kills Black End tearing off two of its spikes and stuffing them into the monster's mouth before finishing it off.
Names to Run Away from Really Fast: The name also signifies how it is the final monster in the show, as well as for the next five years (in-universe and in real-time).
Our Dragons Are Different: Black End is designed to be something akin to a dragon.
Pokémon Speak: Tried to lure Leo into a fight by hollering, "Leo! Leo!"
Red Eyes, Take Warning: The very last Saucer Beast, with glowing red eyes to show it means business.
Skull for a Head: It's head somewhat resembles a draconic skull.
Spikes of Doom: Black End has a number of these that can pop out of the black spots on its body whenever needed. They're also able to rotate.
Tunnel King: Commander Black gets the monster to hide underground while waiting for Ultraman Leo to come out and face the monster.
