Recap / Ultraman Z Ep 10: Here Comes The Space Pirate!

Go To

The space pirate, Alien Barossa sneaks into STORAGE to retrieve King Joe! This space pirate is known for using various robbed tools and weapons from space and is a powerful enemy! In addition, King Joe is about to move again! Can Haruki stop this pirate?


Episode Tropes:

  • Asskicking Leads to Leadership:
    • The perks of Juggler's role as STORAGE captain proves just he can kick ass without letting Haruki and company know his true identity.
    • Also, don't underestimate Bako for a senile old man, lest you don't want to get your ass handed to him. Something that Alien Barossa found out the hard way.
  • Avenging the Villain: Barossa, in his dying throes, says that 9,999 of his brethren will avenge him.
  • Continuity Nod: Z recognizes the invisibility cape that Barossa used was knitted from the hairs of Ninja Monster Sartan from Return of Ultraman.
  • Didn't Think This Through:
    • Barossa had no idea that Juggler was prowling around at the STORAGE HQ. Justified, as due to the fact that Juggler is in fact The Captain of said team and won't stand around getting his crew killed.
    • Played for Laughs near the end of the episode. When Juggler was fighting Alien Barossa inside the HQ, not realizing that Yuka took a picture of his Majin form and hears her stating she wants to dissect him, this causes Juggler to spit his own coffee at the end of the episode.
  • Foreshadowing:
    • As Barossa is defeated, he says that his 9,999 of his brethren will come to avenge him. He wasn't kidding about not being the last Barossa to appear.
    • After salvaging the King Joe for reverse engineering of the Pedanium technology, Inaba remarked that The World Is Not Ready yet to accept alien technologies as part of their weapons. This will be one of the major issues brought up in the final episode when it seemed that mankind had gone too far with creating Ultroid Zero, that it provoked Gaia's Vengeance in the form of monster attacks.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Hebikura/Juggler at the end of the episode, when Yuka shows to the crew a picture of the former's Majin form making it seem like she's developed a crush before she gleefully states she wants to dissect him.
  • People Puppets: Alien Barossa has the ability to take control of anyone he comes in contact with, best shown doing so to Yoko into forcing Yuka to reactivate King Joe.
  • Spit Take: Upon hearing that Yuka wants to dissect him, Juggler does this.
  • Tempting Fate: Haruki having the balls to say that he will have no problem taking on 9,999 of the Alien Barossa race if they come to Earth avenge the first of their kind that he and Z defeated. Take a quick guess what happens next seven episodes later.
  • You Kill It, You Bought It: Besides King Joe from the previous episode, Barossa apparently has looted several weapons used by past Ultra Series Seijins, among those included are Juda Specter's Bat Caliber, Mold Specter's Bat Axe, Alien Magma's Magma Saber, Zamusha's Hoshikirimaru, Mecha Zamu's Sword Zamber, Alien Babalou's Babalou Stick (pronged half only), Alien Gapiya Abel's machete, Alien Bat's sword and last but not least is a handful of Valis Raiders' Raiding Swords.
