Beings from M421

Ultraman Blazar

Portrayed by: Hideyoshi Iwata (suit and voice)

Click ^here to see him equipped with the Firdran armor.

An Ultraman that Gento Hiruma transforms into. He is a Giant of Light that came from M421, a blazar far away from Earth.

When Gento strongly desires power for the sake of justice, the transformation item, Blazar Brace, appears on his left arm. While strongly imbuing his wishes into the crystal Blazar Stone, which holds the power of light, he then loads it into the Blazar Brace and transforms into Ultraman Blazar.

Abnormal Limb Rotation Range: Episode 6 reveals he can twist his torso around the waist several times in order to increase his throwing power.
Boss Subtitles: Surprisingly not him but the Tilsonite Sword has "Garadama Thunder Blade".
Breaking Old Trends:
- Rather than saving Gento at the beginning of the show by merging with him as most past Ultras have done, it's heavily implied that Gento and Blazar bonded long ago in a prior accident 3 years before the series but only now did Blazar awaken, a rare trend for main show Ultramen, and unlike Taiga and Hiroyuki Blazar has no prior backstory detailed before his appearance.
- And rather than willingly or instinctively having Gento transform into him, it's more or less shown that Blazar forces his host to transform for the first time against his will, up to taking control of his body to activate his Transformation Trinket.
- Past Ultras employed swords as their melee weapons of choice besides Jack who used a spear, Blazar becomes the first main series Ultraman in half a century to employ a spear weapon as his primary weapon^note.
Bruiser with a Soft Center: In episode 10, he develops a fascination towards newborns. This leads to him wrestling with Gento over control of his body while transformed when his host decided to kill Demaaga, orphaning and potentially killing its hatchling as well. Fortunately, he finds a way to non-lethally subdue them.
- In general Blazar as an Ultra is this. He is a somewhat feral Ultraman that fights with a degree of brutality, not like many of his predecessors who present themselves heroically to defend the earth. Furthermore, most the monsters he faced met their doom at his hands quite horrifically (and comically for some) either from being stab or cut in half unlike most ultras who prefer to use their finishers to end the battle with most of the monsters getting a case of Defeat Equals Explosion . Despite all this, he is genuinely a good guy that fights to defend the earth from all that threatens it. Also, while a brutal combatant he maybe, he at least knows when to be violent and when to end a conflict more peacefully such as few monsters who he lets go or even assist in the series.
Duality Motif: The left half with the head crystal and blue and red lines represents Blazar, while his right half represents his host, Gento, which is shown when the two are struggling with control with Blazar stopping Gento with his left arm.
11th-Hour Superpower: After hearing Gento's son cheer him on through the bracelet he made for his dad several episodes ago, Blazar channels the power to shoot an Ultra Beam from his left hand, destroying Garallon once and for all.
Fashionable Asymmetry: He has red and blue vein-like patterns on his left side and his left eye is notably framed by a longer curved crystal.
In a Single Bound: He's agile enough to easily leap onto and scale up a nearby tower to avoid an attack.
Know When to Fold 'Em: Upon sensing how dangerous Gebalga is, Blazar briefly takes over control of his host to tell Anri to flee and when fighting against the Space Electromagnetic Monster himself, he realizes that he is unable to win and forces his host to flee rather than continue a futile battle.
Morph Weapon: His base finishing move, Spiral Burrade, is a Pure Energy Hard Light construct normally used as a spear or javelin but the properties can change to suit the need. For example:
- It can become a fishing rod called the Lure Burrade to pull out a submerged aquatic kaiju from the ocean.
- It can act like a Trick Bomb; after the initial impalement the spear releases a Spike Cluster, impaling the kaiju even more from the inside-out before the usual Defeat Equals Explosion.
- It can bifurcate into two relatively shorter plumbatae (war darts) to attack multiple targets.
- It can turn into an arrow shape cutter to slice a target.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Killing several Taganular turns out to have been a really bad idea as the Taganulars emerging through the show were never going to cause all that much damage and were only trying to intercept the invading waves of V99 kaiju, including Varallon. It's even demonstrated that if the Taganular had been left alone not much would've happened to the cities besides losing some power.
Non-Standard Character Design: Besides his Fashionable Asymmetry being exaggerated enough that his left and right profiles look almost completely different, his back fin is also serrated and the boots on his costume are split at the toes.
Pet the Dog: After Dorgo falls asleep, Blazar simply pushes it back into its sleeping spot. Although he's a hunter, he clearly doesn't do it for sport.
Rugged Scar: Word of God states that the crystal on his head was from a hunting injury that crystallized like a scab over a wound.
Smarter Than You Look: Satoko mentioned that Gento, who is actually being possessed by Blazar, has been watching the news a lot lately. Not only did Blazar realize the news was a source of information, he took advantage of it to learn more about humankind in a relatively subtle manner. He may be a Screaming Warrior, but he's far from Dumb Muscle.
Screaming Warrior: This particular giant loves to scream when fighting, reflecting his savage and brutal nature.
Stellar Name: A "Blazar" is an Active Galactic Nucleus with an astrophysical jet pointed toward the Earth, in which radiation from the jet is enhanced by relativistic beaming.
Suddenly Speaking: Before fusing with Gento to take on Varallon, Blazar utters Gento's catchphrase with a twist:
Blazar: "We'll go."
Super Mode: Gets one in the form of Firdran Armor in Episode 19.
Super-Scream: Revealed to have this ability in Episode 10. Notably, this makes Blazar the third Ultra after Geed and Belial Atrocious to have this power.
Super-Strength: While Ultras in general posses this trope, in episode 24, Blazar manages to take it to a whole new level by pushing the freaking Moon back into its orbit.
Sword Beam: Blazar's Tilsonite sword is shown to shoot green electric arrows that are strong enough to shatter Gebalga's shield.
Variant Power Copying: Using Blazar Stones of other beings allows him to use their power in his own way:
- Nijikagachi: Lets him use the rainbow power. The primary form of attack is called Rainbow Slash, a dismembering halo with six distinct colored blades that cuts through to enemies. Splitting it into two smaller versions to dual wield, called Double Rainbow Slash, lets him cut and grind tougher foes. Furthermore, the disc can also be used as a shield, enabling Blazar to protect himself from attacks and freeze enemy kaiju.
- Garamon: Lets him use the Garadama Thunder Blade Tilsonite Sword, made of the same material as Garamon. In addition to inserting the Super-Toughness traits of its alloy, the blade can also discharge electricity with every swing, release energy arrows strong enough to shatter barriers and summon lightning to empower its wielder.
- Firdran: Lets him access the Firdran Armor. The red-orange armor forms on Blazar's chest and right arm. It gives Blazar the power of fire and a significant boost in power. The Firdran can also combine with the Tilsonite Sword to make it a double-sided spear weapon called Tilsonite Lancer which can also be used as a bow.
Wrecked Weapon: His Tilsonite Sword is shattered by Brood Gebalga's attack, but he's able to replace it when SKaRD gives him another Tilsonite spear to transform.

Firdran

Blazar's animal companion, who came to rescue his master from Brood Gebalga.

Animal Companion: Of Blazar with the ability to give its master its powers.
Benevolent Monsters: Helps Blazar in his battles to protect others.
Big Damn Heroes: When Earth Garon and Blazar are overwhelmed by Brood Gebalga and the horde of Irugos, Firdran appears to give Blazar its powers and destroy all enemies with ease.
Boss Subtitles: "Fire Dragon Monster"
Deus ex Machina: There is no indication or foreshadowing that Blazar had an Animal Companion back in M421, whose powers make Blazar powerful enough to kill the colossal Brood Gebalga with ease.
Equippable Ally: Becomes Blazar's Firdran Armor while upgrading the Tilsonite Sword into the Tilsofird Lancer.
Flat Character: Firdran solely exists to give Blazar its powers and does not have any interactions outside of being summoned by its Blazar Stone.
Playing with Fire: Its name is shortened from "Fire Dragon" and with its stone, Blazar's weapon is enhanced with powerful flames.

Special Kaiju Reaction Detachment (SKaRD)

An elite attack team established by the Global Guardian Force (GGF) in a world where kaiju disasters are a common occurrence.

As a whole

Failure Hero: While the team is far from incompetent, they have yet to kill a kaiju by themselves with them at best only managing to help Blazar with the kill.
Mildly Military: Gento outright says in episode 2 that members are to use first names or nicknames, and demonstrates that he won't respond to being addressed on a Last-Name Basis.

Members

Gento Hiruma

Portrayed by: Tomoya Warabino

Voiced by: Johnny Yong Bosch (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/_408.jpg

The protagonist, who transforms into Ultraman Blazar to fight kaiju. 30 years old. He is the captain of SKaRD and is a family man who's married to a woman of his age, and they have a 7 year-old son. He originally led a small elite special unit in the GGF, but shortly after Ultraman Blazar first appeared on Earth in a battle against the space crustacean kaiju Bazanga, he was inaugurated as the captain of SKaRD. At the time of his appointment SKaRD’s existence was still unknown. He forms a team together with members he has yet to meet.

Human and Ultraman, mankind and kaiju/aliens, subordinates and superiors, family and work… As he struggles with various relationships, he stands up against the kaiju with his courage and strong sense of justice.

Action Dad: He has a son and a major drive for his heroism is to provide a safe world for his child. Interestingly, while not the first Ultra to be a father, Gento is the first main protagonist to be one, furthering his distinction as an Experienced Protagonist compared to other Ultra protagonists past him.
Benevolent Boss: Makes clear he wants the small team open and informal, allowing ideas to be heard and even makes his team gets days off while he schedules himself none.
Breaking Old Trends: While most Ultraman protagonists are low-ranking field agents for their respective attack teams, Gento becomes the Captain of SKaRD at the start of the series. Additionally, unlike most protagonists who start out wet behind the ears, Gento's an Experienced Protagonist.
The Captain: He's the leader of the series' defense team, a first in a Ultra series.
Catchphrase: "I've got this."
Detrimental Determination: Gento is a determined men dedicating his life to saving lives... regardless of the cost of his own health, which causes him to continue fights he cannot win (Gebalga) or overworking himself till the point of damaging his body with Blazar outright knocking him out to force him to get some rest.
Don't Call Me "Sir": Insists on using either first names or nicknames with his team, to the point where he will completely ignore you if you don't call him Gento.
Experienced Protagonist: He was already a well-established captain with many successful operations under his belt by the time he transformed into Blazar for the first time.
A Father to His Men: He chides the newest member of his squad for forgetting the last part of the plan, 'everyone goes home.' He follows it with protecting all his members and is annoyed when another brings up that if the positions were switched he'd insist on being left behind.
Thinking Tic: Gento has a habit of rubbing his right temple while making plans.
To Be Lawful or Good: Gento faces this dilemma in Episode 10.

Emi Aobe

Portrayed by: Himena Tsukimiya

Voiced by: Madeline Dorroh (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/_4308.jpg

Emi Aobe is an intelligence specialist who does undercover missions to gather intelligence from organizations.

She graduated from a world-renowned elite school after skipping a grade, at the age of 17. She was scouted to join the Global Guardian Force and participated in missions around the world as the special force’s intelligence officer. From an early age she learns about the dark secrets of the world which is why she typically does not trust people nor the government. She has excellent physical abilities that aid her in undercover missions and in addition her exceptional shooting skills make her a valuable member in combat missions as well.

Her hobby is cosplaying.

Cold Sniper: Coolly hits Bazanga with a special bazooka round before withdrawing. Though outside of missions, she's more outgoing.
Disappeared Dad: Her father, Ki Aobe, was a scientist who disappeared 3 years ago on September 9, 2020 in an explosion in GGF Test Facility 66.
Master of Disguise: Being intelligence she'd rather disguise and blend in instead of directly approaching. It varies from dock worker to being able to pass off as a rookie scientist.

Yasunobu Bando

Portrayed by: Hayate Kajihara

Voiced by: Ricco Fajardo (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/_002.jpg

Yasunobu is a skilled mechanic who also took part in the development of Earth Garon. He is the pilot of Earth Garon and has a charming Kansai dialect. He was a pilot in the Global Guardian Force’s transport corps before getting assigned to SKaRD. He keeps weapons and machinery well-maintained and secretly likes naming his favorite machines. His nickname for Earth Garon is “Earthy.” Sometimes he might be too upfront and can make people feel uncomfortable, but he is a friendly and lovable character. His hobby is playing cat’s cradle.

Clark Kent Outfit: As shown in episode 6, he is absolutely ripped under his uniform.
A Day in the Limelight: Episode 6 gives him focus and fleshes him out as an eager worker with a love for machines.
Extreme Doormat: Played with, more in the manner of taking on too many projects at work dealing with tech support. His team realizes they are piling too much on him.
Heel Realization: The alien Herbie pointed out that humans overwork and gripe at their machines so much that the machines have resentment. Bando then apologized to Chururu for complaining to her so much and hoped she would open the portal to Herbie's base and she complies.
Machine Empathy: He has a tendency to talk to machines and give them nicknames with examples including Earth Garon, his favorite clothes dryer, and the van SKard uses with him calling them Earthy, Cururu, and Moppy. He is somewhat embarrassed whenever this is discoverd by his teammates, who tease him over this.

Anri Minami

Portrayed by: Konomi Naito

Voiced by: Madeleine Morris (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/_647.jpg

Anri Minami is a pilot for Earth Garon, a kaiju-type robot artillery used by SKaRD. She is a graduate from an engineering school and has been a dedicated member of the Global Guardian Force. Because of her long service in infantry missions, Anri is also an expert in close-quarter combat. She has always wanted to join the Special Forces and her dream comes true when she is recruited to SKaRDled by Gento. However, Anri finds it hard to adjust to Gento’s spontaneous and independent style of going about things compared to the strict and rigid way she had done things in her previous unit. She is a simple and earnest person, but as she works with Gento and the other members she starts to realize her true abilities. Her hobby is lifting weights.

A Day in the Limelight: Episode 5, which takes place in her hometown, and has her reunited with a childhood friend.
Minnesota Nice: The Japanese country dialect she speaks with briefly in Episode 5 is rendered in the English dub as an exaggerated Minnesota/Northern Plains accent to get the point across.
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She really dislikes bugs of any kind.
Wrench Wench: Has admitted to being a gearhead to upgrade the mobile HQ but wasn't necessary since Bando upgraded it offscreen.

Teruaki Nagura

Portrayed by: Yuki Ito

Voiced by: Nicolas Andrew Louie (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/_987.jpg

Teruaki is the vice-captain and operations strategist of the team, who excels in collecting and analyzing information using his extensive knowledge on Kaiju biology. He strategizes the operations for SKaRD, the Special Kaiju Reaction Detachment, led by Captain Gento. He formally was the Fire Support Coordinator for a General Unit and has also fought in the Bazanga Elimination Operation. In fact, it was his analytical and calm decision-making, strong conviction in his decisions, extensive knowledge of kaiju and intelligence that he proved he had in the operation that got him a position on SKaRD. He strongly believes in the importance of living harmoniously with Earth kaiju while protecting humans. He is very disciplined, but can also be a bit out of it at times.

Absurd Phobia: Episode 16 reveals he's been scared of bean cakes since he was a kid.
Armor-Piercing Question: He asks Kazunori if he thought about the wildlife and vegetation that would be destroyed by Nijikagachi destroying civilization and if they were also responsible for humanity's crimes against nature. Kazunori admits Teruaki has a point, but he is still unwilling to stop his plans.
The Smart Guy: He is the team's foremost expert on kaiju biology.

Mecha

Earth Garon

Type 23 Special Tactical Armored Kaiju: Earth Garon

Height: 50 meters

Weight: 25,000 tons

EGOISS System voiced by: Akira Ishida (Japanese), Clifford Chapin (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/_3909.png

SKaRD’s main weapon, an enormous counter-Kaiju robot. It is a bipedal kaiju type that can also be used in close-quarter combat mode.

Its official name is Type 23 Special Tactical Armored Kaiju. It is equipped with Earth Fire, a charged particle cannon that shoots from its mouth, Earth Guns on each hand, and a Tail VLS on its tail that fires missiles vertically.

Arm Cannon: Earth Garon got aptly named Earth Gun - an autocannon equipped with 105-millimeter explosive rounds - for each of its forearms.
Artificial Intelligence: In episode 16, it is equipped with the EGOISS System, a fully-sentient AI that complements a lone pilot on certain missions, like when Emi was forced to pilot the mecha alone due to the other SKaRD members being unavailable due to their hospitalization.
Energy Weapon: It can fire a charged particle cannon called the Earth Fire, which is capable of shooting off kaiju's limbs in one shot.
Giant Robot Hands Save Lives: When Yasunobu plummets from Alien Canaan's windmill base, Earth Garon breaks out of the alien's control and catches the young engineer a mere feet before he would have hit the ground.
Humongous Mecha: Is 50 meters (164 feet) tall and weighs 25,000 tons.
Mecha Expansion Pack: Earth Garon's back can be equipped with additional weapons.
Notzilla: It is basically the Ultraman franchise's take on Mechagodzilla.
Real Robot: Earth Garon, while a powerful war machine, can still break during combat, not unlike a tank. To boot, its manual's thickness puts phonebooks to shame.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: In episode 6, its eyes turn red when under the influence of Alien Canaan's aurora beam.
The Worf Effect: Despite Earth Garon's strength and weaponry, it usually struggles or in some cases is taken out by the Monster of the Week with it at best fighting alongside Blazar and/or making it easier for Blazar to kill it.

Global Guardian Force (GGF)

Established in 1966 by nations all around the world in response to the worldwide outbreak of kaiju disasters, the Global Guardian Force (GGF) deals with kaiju and extraterrestrial life forms’ attacks on Earth.

Retsu Haruno

Portrayed by: Masaya Kato

Voiced by: Keith Silverstein (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/m_mal3_st206_0821_rotated.jpg

Retsu is the Chief of Staff at the command office of the Global Guardian Force Japan Branch (GGFJ). With the headquarters in North America and branches in various countries worldwide, the Global Guardian Force has been struggling to combat recurring kaiju threats. To overcome this situation, Retsu swiftly investigates and analyzes the unique characteristics of each kaiju and establishes the specialized unit, SKaRD, within the Japanese branch to deal with them. He recruits Gento as the team’s captain. Retsu is an ambitious individual who has climbed the ranks within the Global Guardian Force organization and holds the important position of Chief of Staff. He often imposes challenging tasks on Gento, but secretly has a soft spot for dogs.

Ambiguously Evil: He seems to be taking part in covering up some kind of conspiracy related to the events at GGF Test Facility 66 three years ago. However he also seems to not be on good terms with the higher-ups and after being discharged he gets given Tatsuki Aobe's diary containing important information about the V99 conspiracy, subtly implying even he might've not known about the truth.
Big Good: He is the one that formed SKaRD and is their superior, which leaves him dealing with the complaints his higher-ups give about SKaRD's actions.
Freudian Excuse: While he is strict against SKaRD with them needing to deal with his complaints against them, he has to deal with the unreasonable demands of his superiors.
Jerkass Has a Point: While he is very strict against SKaRD, they admit he is completely right in the fact that they haven't managed to kill a single kaiju.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He is strict to SKaRD, but he genuinely wants the team to prove their worth and not get disbanded, which is why he doesn't want to rely on Blazar to deal with all the problems.
Never My Fault: He routinely chews out SKaRD for either failing to kill any kaiju they fight or whenever an unforeseen variable ruins their mission... even though he was the one who assembled the team in the first place. Subverted in #23, in which he takes full responsibility for them defying orders and protecting the Taganular, which gets him discharged.
Pointy-Haired Boss: No matter what kind of reason SKaRD gives for why they couldn't accomplish their mission, he will never accept it. A specific example of how unreasonable he can be comes in #14, where he yells at SKaRD for retreating from their first fight with Deltandal, ignoring their explanation that Earth Garon isn't built for arial combat. Unsurprisingly, nobody in SKaRD can stand him.
Bando: Is he ever not angry?

Minoru Genkawa

Portrayed by: Taro Kawano

Voiced by: Sonny Strait (English)

The Commander of GGFJ Command office and Haruno's superior. With his serious attitude and no-nonsense approach to things with regards to his authority he presides over SKaRD's every decision.

Reasonable Authority Figure: He's harsh but very much dedicated to protecting Earth and being fair to SKaRD when appropriate.

Yu Dobashi (Unmarked Spoilers)

Yu Dobashi

Portrayed by: Minori Terada

Voiced by: John Swasey (English)

The former director of GGFJ, who despite his apparent well-mannered attitude has been hiding the truth about the V99 conspiracy and intends for no one to ever find out.

Ambiguously Evil: His apparent niceties are offset by his insistence on hiding any and all records of V99, up to and including confiscating Emi's father's diary when she starts reading too much into it and when Emi starts to outright see more about V99 he has soldiers sent to capture her. In addition to all of this, he's disturbingly optimistic and confident about the operation to stop Varallon, paying no mind to the direness of the situation. That the files imply an innocent alien was killed when their spacecraft was shot down also imply he's been trying to clean blood off his hands. The mask fully comes off in the finale where he admits he shot down an unarmed alien spaceship and has been trying to keep the truth hidden even when the comrades of the victims his actions clamed came back for vegeance, with him fully aware of the consequences.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: He seems like a nice, affable old man but trying to investigate the V99 incident in any way lets him show his true colors as an unpleasant, self-absorbed and paranoid man who for some reason does not want the truth to come out. Made worse when it's revealed that he had an unarmed and harmless V99 spaceship shot down but refused to divulge the truth to avoid consequences by keeping up the act of being for Earth's good.
Casting Gag: This is not the first, nor the second time Minori Terada has portrayed an elderly Tokusatsu villain, when both of his characters' shady practices became their respective show's underlying threats the heroes face.
Evil Old Folks: While not outright megalomaniacal he's a conspirator who tries his hardest to keep the truth of V99 a secret and actively antagonizes Emi such as stealing her father's diary and burning it when given the chance and later trying to have her arrested to stop her attempts to discover the truth of V99. In the finale he is completely unmoved by the rather sympathetic motives of the V99 aliens and is all too ready to shoot them down like he did to their comrade in 1999.
Final Solution: Dobashi would go down in the history of the Ultra Series as a human villain to ever attempt genocide on a benevolent alien race whom he believed as invaders to the point having the entire GGF branches worldwide take up arms against the impending V99 presence on Earth during the endgame episodes.
Greater-Scope Villain: It's heavily implied that whatever went down at Test Facility 66, which happened during his time as the facility's manager and GGFJ's benefactor and manager behind the scenes was the cause of the V99 incident and the invading waves in some way. The finale confirms this as it was him shooting down an unarmed innocent alien spacecraft from the V99 that led to the aliens retaliating with the invading waves of kaiju, with him intending to finish them all off when they arrived on Earth.
Hate Sink: The moment he starts showing his true colors, he's portrayed as a deeply unpleasant corrupt jerk who proves obstructive to Emi and all but outright insults her missing father by unfavorably comparing her rebellious attitude to her father's. And despite the finale revealing the V99 were only retaliating for one of their own being killed, he isn't moved by this and wants to shoot the rest down.
Hidden Agenda Villain: Tries and keep anyone from finding out and uncovering the truth of the V99 incident, heavily implied to be in order to avoid crimes he committed in secret from leaking out to the public.
Humans Are the Real Monsters: The simple fact that he plays a role in covering up the V99 conspiracy highlights Dobashi being the clear representation of every negative description of humanity in comparison to the kaiju and aliens Ultraman Blazar and SKaRD has fought.
Karma Houdini: Once Varallon has been dealt with, he gets away with all the machinations he caused in the series' end without facing any consequences.
Never My Fault: His most defining trait. Dobashi's tendency to lie and dodge questions regarding the V99 is an indicator that he has no sense of conscience, remorse, and responsibility for his actions. He even gets away without being held accountable for attempting genocide on a benevolent alien race after Varallon is defeated.
The Sociopath: He checks a number of boxes: he comes off as superficially charming, but underneath it all, Dobashi is a pathological liar, he shows no shame or remorse for his actions, abusing his power to go to the extremes of covering up his act, and even shows no compunction on attempting genocide on an alien race that have no intention of invading Earth.

Other Humans

Corrupt Corporate Executive: He is a wealthy CEO with delusions of becoming the world's richest and most powerful man with a plan involving setting off Levira and providing the key to defeating it.
Engineered Heroics: His company created Levira so the GGF would be forced to continuously pay his company for a supply of their sterilizing antimicrobial agent, FK 1.
Glory Hound: The reason why he sends out Levira is not for profit, but the glory and praise he receives from the chemical used to defeat the kaiju.
Narcissist: He is full of himself already with his delusional plans to be the world's most powerful man, but he reaches new heights when he is shown to listen to a song by him where he praises himself as means of motivating himself or "meditating".

Mizuho

Portrayed by: Asaka Yamada

Voiced by: Felecia Angelle (English)

A local of Ichinoji Village who warns others of Dorgo's awakening.

Childhood Friend: Of Anri whom she grew up with in Ichinoji Village.
Cassandra Truth: Her claims of Dorgo awakening are dismissed due to the GGF's examination of the area showing no proof of its existence due to how much the Mountain Monster managed to suppress its biological functions.
Mr. Exposition: She tells members of GGF and SKaRD of Dorgo's legend and how to put it back to sleep.

Kazunori Yokomine

Portrayed by: Kozo Sato

Voiced by: Kirk Thornton (English)

Gento's former mentor and a respected scientist/writer who has developed a burning hatred for humanity's damage to the environment and seeks to rectify it any way he can.

Affably Evil: He wants to destroy civilization and start anew, but he is also a polite guy and won't doubt about calmly explaining his point and wishes to others and even is willing to hear out opposing arguments and recognize their validity.
Arc Villain: Of episodes 7 and 8 as he summons and initially controls Nijikagachi to wipe out civilization.
Gaia's Vengeance: He believes himself to be acting on this principle wanting humanity to pay for damaging nature by destroying civilization as we know it and start anew in a world more aware of the damage done to the environment.
Karma Houdini: Nijikagachi is destroyed and his plans are thwarted but because the police and law have no way to pin him as Nijikagachi's master, he goes free and on top of that he hears Nijikagachi calling to him by the end of #8, implying he will soon resume his plans. Surprisingly he doesn't appear in #17 when Nijikagachi comes back as a spirit.
The Man Behind the Monsters: He summons Nijikagachi and controls it for most of episodes 7 and 8 so it can destroy civilization.
Villains Out Shopping: When he's not trying to destroy humankind, he's sedately fishing.

Kaiju and Aliens

V99's Forces

Bazanga

A crustacean-like reptilian kaiju that arrives on Earth and begins attacking, becoming the first threat of the show.

An Arm and a Leg: During its battle against Blazar, the Ultra rips off the organic blasters attached to its arms. To say it was brutal is an understatement.
Attack Its Weak Point: Its nose is its weak point, with a single good attack on it disorienting it and making it unable to use its organic blasters. However, due to a miscommunication between management, Gento's team believed that the gills on its chest are its weak point.
Boss Subtitles: "Space Crustacean Monster"
Breaking Old Trends: Unlike the majority of past first-episode threats in shows with the Symbiotic Possession dynamic, Bazanga is not responsible even indirectly for causing the show's Ultraman and host to merge together; instead, merely forcing Blazar out unintentionally when it threatens to crush Gento with a building it knocked down.
Giant Enemy Crab: Has the tough shell and sharp claws of one.
Grievous Harm with a Body: Blazar rips off the armored blades on his forearms and hits him a couple times with one of them.
Starter Villain: The first foe that Blazar faces. And Gento's team's very first foe (prior to the formation of SKaRD).

Gebalga

A kaiju from space that came to Earth as a meteor.

Barrier Warrior: Gebalga is capable of harnessing its electromagnetic powers to form a barrier that measures at over 30,000 degrees celsius, enabling it to block any attack until Blazar's Tilsonite sword shatters it.
Belly Mouth: Much like real-world starfish, Gebalga has one of these, which it can use to generate EMP attacks.
Boss Subtitles: "Space Electromagnetic Monster"
Came from the Sky: Comes to Earth by crashing into the atmosphere while curled up into a meteor-esque form. SKARD, being Genre Savvy and having faced space kaiju before, address it as a kaiju even before it arrives on Earth.
Eyes Do Not Belong There: Gebalga has 3 eyes placed asymmetrically around its torso.
Half the Man He Used to Be: Courtesy of Blazar's Tilsonite Sword.
Rolling Attack: Gebalga can roll into the same meteor shape in which it arrived on Earth to charge at its enemies.
Mythology Gag: Coincidentally, Gebalga's name and appearance are similar to those of Gibaaroga.
Shock and Awe: It is able to create an EMP field to defend itself from incoming attacks or disable machines generated from a special organ on its torso. Said organ gets neutralized after getting a Tilsonite spear shot through it.
Starfish Alien: Ressembles a gigantic starfish.

Irugo

^{Click here to see its immature Gebalga form}

An extraterrestrial worm-like kaiju that causes terror in the city with its burrowing activities. However, it soon turns out to be related to a previous monster...

Big Creepy-Crawlies: Resembles a giant worm sticking out of the ground
Boss Subtitles: "Pollution Monster"
Connected All Along: While they were already considered the third wave of V99, they are also the larval state of Gebalga.
Conservation of Ninjutsu: Whereas one Irugo manages to keep Earth Garon and Blazar on their toes in the first half of the two-parter, the duo easily slaughter dozens in the second half.
Hollywood Evolution: Numerous Irugo are shown to be capable of maturing into orange "adult" Gebalga forms in a matter of seconds.
Poisonous Person: They emit "Irugo Gas", which is poisonous to humans and makes it easier for them to live on Earth.
Weaksauce Weakness: Irugos' are naturally vulnerable to clean air, which is why they have to pollute the environment around them to stay alive above ground.
Zerg Rush: A swarm of Irugo larvae manage to break Blazar's by crushing it under their collective weight.

Brood Gebalga

The massive progenitor of the Irugo invasion. After the first Irugo is defeated, it and its offspring rise from below the surface to destroy Tokyo.

Belly Mouth: Has one, much like the Gebalga drones.
Boss Subtitles: "Advanced Space Pollution Monster"
Defeat Equals Explosion: Suffers from this after being hit by Firdran and lightning from the Tilsonite sword.
Explosive Breeder: Capable of producing dozens of Irugo larvae in a very short time span
Eyes Do Not Belong There: Just like its offspring, the monster has 3 eyes placed asymmetrically around its torso.
Gigantic Adults, Tiny Babies: Standing at over 150 meters tall, the Brood Gebalga easily towers over its offspring and its enemies.
Insect Queen: Despite being a starfish-themed kaiju, the Brood Gebalga is portrayed as both the parent and leader of the Irugo.
Playing with Fire: Capable of releasing heat waves in order to wear down opponents.
Shock and Awe: It is able to create an EMP field even more powerful than that of its offspring both in terms of range and magnitude.
Starfish Alien: Resembles a gigantic starfish.

Varallon (Unmarked Spoilers)

Varallon

^{Click here to see his second form}

The final threat of the show, a dangerous extraterrestrial beast whose dreaded arrival has caused Earth's monsters to prepare for an all-out war against him and his legions of invading space kaiju.

Big Bad: He is the driving force behind the events of the story, with all of the preceding V99 kaiju were but mere underlings to him, and every single Earth kaiju that seemed to act in strange ways were only preparing themselves for his arrival. While he turns out to be an underling himself to the V99 aliens, they also are rather benevolent in nature and stand down peacefully, with Varallon in contrast remaining deadset on destroying Earth.
Boss Subtitles: "Space Bomber Monster".
Colony Drop: After being set off-course by the Taganulars' beams, Varallon attempts to plant hundreds of bombs on the Moon to cause it to go off-orbit and crash on Earth, luckily this ploy is stopped by Blazar moving the Moon back into position. However, Varallon made his way to Earth nonetheless after defeating Blazar.
Dragon Their Feet: Regardless of the V99 aliens standing down, he doesn't and continues attacking Earth and trying to destroy it all on his own, leading to the final battle against it.
Defeat Equals Explosion: As with many, many kaiju before him in the franchise, suffers this fate after taking an Ultra Beam to the face.
The Dreaded: Just his signature alone sent Earth's biosphere into distress and several kaiju like Taganular were awakened and attempted to stop it from reaching Earth at all costs as a response to it simply arriving on the Solar System.
Final Boss: The last threat faced in the series. He even outlasts his supposed masters, the V99 aliens, as even them standing down does nothing to stop Varalllon's rampage which Blazar has to personally stop to save Earth.
Having a Blast: Can generate organic bombs to either try and destroy foes and obstacles or to provoke alterations to celestial bodies' orbits and set them off course.
Metamorphosis Monster: After absorbing Blazar's power, he evolves into a second, more demonic-looking form.
Power Copying: He's able to absorbing energy from his foes and use it to empower himself, such as he does with Blazar in episode 24 to evolve into his second form.

V99 (Unmarked Spoilers)

V99

An alien race that attempted to contact with Earth sometime during 1999, but the spaceship that was sent by them was destroyed by GGF Japan, leading them to send waves of space kaiju to attack Earth as a retaliation.

Doomed Hometown: Their homeworld was destroyed long ago by unknown causes, and their goal is to find a new planet for themselves.
Greater-Scope Villain: Subverted. While they were the ones who are responsible for Bazanga, Gebalga, and Varallon's attacks on Earth, their initial aim was to make peace with the humans, until Dobashi ruined it.

Other Kaiju

Gedos

A fishlike, aquatic kaiju. Once terrorized Japan in the Edo period.

Boss Subtitles: "Abyssal Monster"
Gaia's Vengeance: An old fisherman believes that Gedos appeared due to humans polluting the ocean and that a second Gedos could appear if we continue to do so.
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: It ends up skewered by Blazar's Spiral Burrade
Non-Malicious Monster: Little more than a gluttonous kaiju that prefers to stay at the bottom of the sea and feed on hordes of fish there, yet it's this very same hunger that drives it to aggressively attack sailing boats, requiring SKaRD to mobilize and kill it.
Starter Villain: SKaRD's first Kaiju when they are barely formed, trained and just got their equipment.
Villainous Glutton: Likes to eat and eat and eat. Its first appearance back in the Edo period apparently had it devour all the sea life in the surrounding area, and its reappearance was solely so it could feast upon processed fish straight from the cannery.

Taganular

A beetle/weevil kaiju with a long trunk-like proboscius that feeds on liquid teaterium. Earth Garon's first opponent.

Blade Below the Shoulder: It has two arm blades as its main weapon.
Boss Subtitles: "Coleopteran Monster"
Defeat Equals Explosion: SKARD attempt to avert this at first since, as a result of the immense heat built up in the kaiju's body, killing it would create an explosion with a blast radius of 10 km. Played straight after Taganular's body temperature cools down enough that defeating it would create a much safer explosion.
Good All Along: The reason the species were powering themselves up with teaterium is to preemptively intercept the invading waves of V99s and Varallon. This also explains why the ghost of Taganular didn't do anything destructive before being laid to rest by Zangill.
Improbable Aiming Skills: They're accurate enough with the beams they fire to try to shoot down approaching space kaiju several thousands of miles before they reach Earth's orbit.
Pillar of Light: After getting too hot, Taganular I releases a fusion beam that pierces the clouds. Fortunately, not only does the blast appear to not hit anything but it cools the monster down, allowing Blazar to destroy the monster safely. It is later revealed that it did in fact intentionally hit Gebalga while it was on route to Earth.
Person of Mass Destruction: Taganular is plenty destructive as it is due to being a kaiju but it can also emit powerful heat that over time becomes nuclear and can potentially wipe out an entire country in an explosion if allowed to build up too much. It woud turn out that they intentionally built up that much energy in order to target and try to destroy Varallon and other invading kaiju like Gebalga before they could arrive on Earth.
Starter Villain: Earth Garon's debut opponent.
Tough Beetles: Taganular's size, coupled with the extreme heat it gives off, makes it a tough foe for both Earth Garon and Blazar to pin down, let alone defeat.

Leviera

An extraterrestrial kaiju that looks like a giant Sea Butterfly.

Boss Subtitles: "Molluscan Monster"
Head Blast: Able to shoot an orange beam from its bud-like head.
Healing Factor: After dissolving upon exposure to the chemical FK-1, Leviera reforms underground before rising to go on another rampage. In battle, this leaves Leviera effectively invulnerable to all other attacks.
Kill It with Ice: Blazar manages to defeat Leviera after Earth Garon hits the kaiju with a liquid nitrogen canister, leaving it an easy target for the Ultra.
Kryptonite Factor: Exposure to the chemical FK-1 causes it to instantly dissolve. However, after 3 months, Leviera has begun developing an immunity to the substance, requiring increasingly larger doses to destroy it.

Dorgo

An ancient kaiju that disguises itself as a mountain when hibernating.

Backpack Cannon: The Mega Shot was accidentally installed on its back, which then malfunctioned causing it to wake Dorgo from its nap early and attack Earth Garon and Blazar due to its self-defense systems.
Boss Subtitles: "Mountain Monster"
Gentle Giant: Other than its brief attack when the Mega Shot was accidentally installed on its back and causing it to wake up from its slumber early, Dorgo is a perfectly peaceful, friendly kaiju that sleeps all the time without disturbing anyone.
He Was Right There All Along: Despite the GGF surveying the entire area, Dorgo unintentionally avoided detection due to disguising itself as a mountain and reducing its biological functions.
Horn Attack: Capable of shooting lightning from its horn.
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: The statue kept in its shrine to keep him asleep is either magical in nature or as Teruaki theorizes acts as a sedating needle by stabbing its brainstem or possibly a mixture of both.
Mythology Gag: Dorgo heavily resembles Yamaton, an unused monster from Ultraman. This is fitting in that director Takanori Tsujimoto requested that Dorgo be designed to blend in with the kaiju roster from the original series.
Non-Malicious Monster: It is considered the local guardian deity of Ichinoji Village, which allows their rice to prosper, and it only awoke due to the GGF removing the shrine that kept it asleep. Because of this SKaRD's main goal became returning its statue to its proper place so it goes back to sleep instead of killing it.

Alien Canaan (Herbie)

Voiced by: Ayako Takeuchi (Japanese), Mona Marshall (English)

An alien invader who hails from a world long-destroyed by countless wars. Wanting to conquer the Earth for their species, they aim to use the Aurora Beam to take control of Earth's machinery and turn them against mankind.

See Ultraseven for tropes pertaining to Alien Canaan in general

An Alien Named "Bob": To differentiate this Canaan from its previous incarnation, they are addressed as Herbie.
The Bus Came Back: Blazar marks Alien Canaan's first appearance since episode 24 of Ultraseven, which aired over 55 years ago.
Faux Affably Evil: After first appearing to Yasunobo, Alien Canaan gleefully explains their plan, topping it off with a lampshaded pun. Despite this, they show no compunction towards attempting to kill SKARD or wipe out humanity.
Mythology Gag:
- The aurora borealis appearing in the sky during their invasion, coupled with the name for their aurora beam, reference the original Alien Canaan's usage of an aurora to hijack machinery.
- Both Ultraseven's and Blazar's Alien Canaans transformed their bases into a rocket in order to escape Earth after their plans were foiled, only for their ship to be destroyed by each show's respective Ultra.
Non-Human Non-Binary: Official publications refer to Blazar's Alien Canaan with gender-neutral terms.
Robot War: Aims to awaken the negative emotions that machines feel towards humans in order to launch a mechanical revolution against humanity.

Nijikagachi

An ancient kaiju and a member of a race that once were worshipped as gods of rain and prosperity. Its arrival is heralded by upside down rainbows appearing all over Japan.

Boss Subtitles: "Iridescent Monster".
The Bus Came Back: Returns in episode 17 stronger than before, as a rogue soul and Zangill's final target.
The Corruptible: According to the legends, Nijikagachi can be an agent of good or evil, it depends on the wishes of those that summon him; if its summoner wishes for prosperity (such as helping with a drought) then it will bring prosperous rain for the land, but if it's summoned for a malevolent purpose (like Kazunori Yokomine did) then disaster will come instead.
Demonic Possession: Temporarily takes control over Zangill's body by trapping the alien between its two spiritual halves. Fortunately, Blazar is able to kick it out without killing his ally - though to be fair, Zangill was already dead.
Everything's Better with Rainbows: His resurgence in the presence is heralded by upside-down rainbows.
Half the Man He Used to Be: Blazar employs a new technique dubbed the "Rainbow Slash" in the form of a giant Ultra Cutter powered by Nijikagachi's rainbow energy to slice it in half. After being resurrected in episode 17, Blazar does this again with the Tilsonite sword, though it pulls itself back together easily.
Head Blast: Capable of shooting a rainbow beam from the crystal on its forehead.
Meaningful Name: Nijikagachi's name translates to "rainbow snake god", referencing its reptilian appearance, the rainbows that appear in its wake and its status as a deity in some parts of Japan.
Not Quite Dead: At the end of episode 8, Yokomine hears its cries while sitting along the fishing line, implying Nijikagachi managed to survive its apparent death. It would later turn out it did died, but its soul persisted with such strength it was able to manifest a physical body for itself once more.
Stance System: Has a brute fighting mode when his head's armor is on and changes to a more energy-beam oriented form when empowered to open said armor by the one that summoned it. It later gains the ability to keep all its power and speed in either form but simply opens its armor to fire its beam.
Took a Level in Badass: In its return it proves to have picked up a lot of tricks and newfound strength as a revenant ghost, countering the Rainbow Slash and even fighting back against a Chilsonite-equipped Blazar and requiring a tag team of Blazar, Zangill and Earthgaron to be defeated.
Vacuum Mouth: Has this ability, enabling it to suck up debris, give humans headaches and even disorient Earth Garon.
Weather Manipulation: Nijikagachi possesses the ability to manipulate the weather and is capable of covering Japan with several simultaneous typhoons.

Garamon

A robotic kaiju which arrived via meteorite, manufactured and summoned by members of an extraterrestrial race to pillage Earth's resources. Marks the first instance of Garamon fighting an Ultra in the mainline Ultra Series.

See Ultra Q for tropes pertaining to Garamon in general

Adaptational Badass: It demonstrates feats of speed, invulnerability and power absent in the original Garamon, which mostly walked around to cause destruction and was killed before it could show its fighting prowess.
Blood from the Mouth: An indirect and symbolic example: when the aliens' control of Garamon is disrupted, it goes completely still as some kind of blue fluid starts trickling out of its mouth.
Boss Subtitles "Robot Monster"
Deceptively Human Robots: While not human in this case, Garamon looks so organic that SKaRD is surprised to discover it's actually a robot.
Made of Indestructium: Its scales are hard enough to pierce Earth Garon's armor, as well as repulsing its attacks and even resisting Blazar's attacks, up to and including breaking the Spiral Burrade. It's only the combination of interrupted control and a double Rainbow Slash which lets Blazar actually destroy it.
Mind-Control Music: Blazar's iteration of Garamon is controlled by a quartet of Cicada Men playing music that guides its actions. Once the quartet stops playing, Garamon stands motionless, leaving it an easy target for Blazar.
Mythology Gag: The aliens who summoned and controlled Garamon arrived on Earth about 60 years prior to the series ... or a couple of years before Ultra Q aired in the real world.
Shockwave Clap: Can clap its hands in order to produce a sonic shockwave powerful enough to disorient Blazar.

Cicada Men

A quartet of Cicada people who, much like the originals, came to Earth with the purpose of looting the planet's resources with the aid of Garamon. However, for some reason, these Cicada people appear far more reluctant in their mission...

See Ultra Q for tropes pertaining to the Cicada People in general

Affably Evil: Despite their plan to pillage Earth, they are especially cordial with Anri, inviting her to their concert. However, it's revealed they've long dropped the "evil" part after having come to love Earth music, with the above act being a ploy to intentionally sabotage their mission.
Aliens Among Us: The Cicada Men are stated to have arrived on Earth 60 years ago, spending an unknown amount of time on Earth as traveling orchestra musicians. Sadly, their mission forces them to turn Garamon on Earth despite having come to love the planet.
The Bus Came Back: While Cicada Women have appeared in numerous installments in the franchise and Taiga featured a minor appearance of a Cicada Man (though only its alien head was visible), Blazar features the first reappearance of the Cicada Men's original design, as well as their proper return to the franchise's mainline installments, since 1966.
Klingons Love Shakespeare: Shortly after arriving on Earth 60 years ago, the Cicada Men fell in love with the concept of music, to the point of becoming a professional quartet themselves.
Spanner in the Works: Having come to love Earth but forced to pillage it, the Cicada Men intentionally sabotage their mission by 1) making Garamon controllable by music and 2) inviting Anri to their concert with the intention of her stopping them.
This Was His True Form: Downplayed Example: After being shot in the hand by Anri, Hoichi's right hand reverts to its true form.

Baby Demaaga

A newborn Demaaga who ends up awing a group of civilians but due to fears of a rampage ends up attempted to be tranquilized and captured which leads to its parent showing up.

Back for the Finale: Returns with its parents and various infant Zugugan in the final episode, eating Varallon's bombs so as to save Earth.
Benevolent Monsters: It's entirely friendly and harmless, at worst being pushy about its curiosity towards the humans it spots upon being born. This endears Gento's son into feeling sympathy and anger over how it's treated by the military.
Children Are Innocent: Becomes a big plot point towards the sympathy for it and its parent, as Baby Demaaga is especially friendly and harmless to the point that attacking it is a sour point for Gento's son.
Gigantic Adults, Tiny Babies: As mentioned below, appears relatively minuscule compared to its parent despite being about as tall as an ordinary human.

Demaaga

An ancient monster that rises from underground to protect its newborn offspring from humanity.

See Ultraman X for tropes pertaining to Demaaga in general

Adaptational Heroism: Blazar marks the first time that Demaaga appears without ill-intentions (even Z's Demaaga, who only sought to stop the threat of Ultroid Zero before it was too late, was aggressive on principle), having only surfaced to protect its child.
Back for the Finale: Returns with its child and various infant Zugugan in the final episode, eating Varallon's bombs so as to save Earth.
Gigantic Adults, Tiny Babies: Whereas the adult Demaaga stands 50 meters (164 feet) tall, its newborn child is only about as tall as a human, at around 1.92 meters (Roughly 5-6 feet) tall.
Monster Is a Mommy: This Demaaga is shown to be the parent to a newborn baby.
Non-Malicious Monster: Judging by its baby's behavior and the fact that it didn't violently surface even after it was born, only attacking when its child called for help, Demaaga is a peaceful kaiju and isn't interested in bothering humans. Though Gento ends up deciding to kill it outright despite the act orphaning its baby, Blazar can't stand for it and takes control to non-lethally subdue the parent and keep both it and its child safe.
Playing with Fire: All of its abilities are fire-based, from its Breath Weapon to the fireballs it shoots from its back.

Deltandal

A subterranean Earth kaiju awakened by unknown stimuli, Deltandal soars across the globe while hiding in cumulonimbus clouds. Unfortunately, the damage caused by its supersonic shockwaves forces SKaRD to intervene.

A second much larger one, designated as Deltandal B, appears which SKaRD debuts the new MOD.3 for Earth Garon to counter.

Back for the Finale: A swarm appear in the final episode to help save the Earth by eating Varallon's bombs.
Barrier Warrior: Can use its own sonic shockwaves to create barriers in order to protect itself from harm.
Boss Subtitles: "Moonlight Monster"
Chest Blaster: Can fire numerous energy attacks from its chest. The second one can also it up to release a single gigantic energy ball.
Defeat Equals Explosion: The first suffers this after taking a hit from the Tilsonite Sword's Sword Beam.
Giant Flyer: Deltandal looks like a giant, organic jet fighter, with all the flying capabilities that that implies.
- The B variant, would be comparable to a bomber, and measures over 300 meters long.
Good All Along: At least some of the Deltandals that awakened were only trying to prepare themselves to protect Earth from the oncoming hordes of V99 invaders, particularly the Third Wave, Varallon. In the finale, various Deltandals arrive to defuse the bombs Varallon set up, helping save Earth in the process.
Half the Man He Used to Be: The second suffers this via the Tilsonite sword, shortly before blowing up.
Playing with Fire: Deltandal is capable of spitting a barrage of fireballs.
Super-Speed: Stated to fly at Mach 9, but shown to cover over 10,000 km in about 30 minutes (putting it above Mach 16).

Gavadon

A peaceful yet obstructive monster brought to life from a drawing made by one of Jun's friends, Arata. After Jun and his friends feel Gavadon isn't safe in its smaller size, they draw it bigger each time causing trouble when its snores cause too much sound pollution.

For tropes pertaining to Gavadon in general see Ultraman TV Series

Abstract Eater: Shown to be able to consume drawings, though whether or not it needs to eat to survive is unknown.
Adaptational Backstory Change: Downplayed example. While still a monster born from drawings exposed to cosmic rays, Gavadon was created inside Arata's secret base instead of a clay pipe yard, as Tsuburaya could not obtain permission to draw graffiti on public property.
Adaptational Wimp: Unlike the original Gavadon, who was born as the giant-sized product of a human-sized drawing, this Gavadon's size depends heavily on the drawing's size, with Gavadon only reaching kaiju proportions after its image is drawn into a field.
Adapted Out: It does not transform into its "B" second form as Jun and his friends don't think of drawing him fiercer.
The Bus Came Back: Blazar marks Gavadon's first appearance since episode 15 of Ultraman, which aired near 57 years ago.
Gentle Giant: Much like the original, Gavadon prefers to sleep all day instead of going on rampages. When Blazar finally appears, it doesn't even try to fight back, letting its rubbery body do all of the work for it.
Mythology Gag:
- While running from the military attack, it reaches a clay pipe yard, the same kind of location it first appeared in the 1966 series.
- It manages to tire out this series' Ultraman by doing nothing but standing still, similarly to how Skydon in the 1966 series was too heavy and sturdy for Ultraman to kill and the latter exhausted himself into detransforming after failed assaults.
- It ends up turned into a constellation at the end, just like its 1966 counterpart; albeit in its first form instead of its second form.
Rubber Man: Its body appears to be entirely of rubber or some similar elastic material which gives it protection against any attacks.
Victory by Endurance: It's got no fighting skills of any kind but when its body is soft enough to cushion against any blows, bomb and beam attacks then it has no issue staying still to let attackers wear themselves down such as Blazar.

Mogusion

A predatory underground kaiju that has begun hunting for food on the surface. However, when SKaRD tries to approach it, it turns out it can make them see their greatest fears!

Boss Subtitles: "Vision Monster"
Chainsaw Good: Its scaly mane substitutes as a natural buzzsaw, effective at hacking at enemies and buildings alike.
Extendable Arms: Capable of shooting its stretching its arms to great lengths in order to strike its foes from hard away.
Half the Man He Used to Be: After a long fight against Earth Garon and Blazar, the latter bisects him across the waist with the Tilsonite Sword, with the monster exploding shortly thereafter.
It Can Think: It has a frightening amount of intelligence for a kaiju making good use of its abilities especially its Illusion Flashes and once Blazar closes his eyes, it starts moving slowly and quietly to catch the Ultra off-guard.
Overly-Long Tongue: Can extend its tongue to great lengths to ensnare prey.
Supernatural Fear Inducer: Its signature Illusion Flashes, which it shoots from its hands, are capable of stimulating its target's amygdala, causing them to see the monster as what they fear the most. This is stated to be a survival tactic against underground predators (whatever those could be) and a means of immobilizing prey above ground.
Super-Toughness: Its hands are durable enough to catch Blazar's rainbow slash, which previously bisected kaiju like butter.

Zangill

^{Click here to see his human disguise}

Portrayed by: Mitsuru Karahashi

An alien swordfighter dealing with rogue kaiju souls that have shown up. He aids Blazar against the returning Nijikagachi.

The Atoner: He was a foolish and amateur thug in the past that fought anyone he came across with it being implied that it's this very lifestyle what costed him his life but after meeting Zamsher and being bested by him he was sent on a quest to help 108 rogue souls pass to the afterlife as his atoning so he himself could move on.
Blade Below the Shoulder: He can transform his right arm into a blade to use in combat.
Blood Knight: Was once a warrior who sought nothing but to challenge strong opponents. Then Zamsher gave Zangill some Humble Pie.
Dead All Along: It turns out he was a rogue soul himself, albeit one on a quest for redemption. Once he finishes with his 108th soul (Nijikagachi's), he passes on to the afterlife and disappears into light.
Demonic Possession: Temporarily gets possessed by Nijikagachi, though fortunately is exorcised without much damage done to him.
Flowery Elizabethan English: Uses an archaic form of Japanese, with Tsubaraya's own subtitles translation it in this manner.
Zangill: Dost thou seek something here? I suspect thine objective is the same as my own.
Foreign Culture Fetish: He is an alien who became fascinated with Earth, especially the Japanese samurai and coffee. It's implied that this is due to meeting Zamsher.
Hunter of His Own Kind: He's been hunting rogue souls that haven't moved on across the universe, while being a rogue soul himself.
In a Single Bound: After throwing Gento to Nijikagachi's position, he leaps after the human, with the two landing several kilometers from their starting point.
Super-Strength: In human form, Zangill manages to throw Gento several kilometers away.
Use Your Head: His head can be used as a blade in an attack.

Zamsher

A galactic samurai who fights the strongest swordfighters in the Universe. He came across Zangill in the latter's mad quest for fights across the Universe and gave him his task of having 108 souls be put to rest.

For tropes pertaining to Zamsher in general see Ultraman Mebius

Adaptational Nice Guy: The original Zamsher from his debut series was a violent lawless alien prior to his redemption, this one is a good guy from the start and even helped Zangill find his redemption.
Greater-Scope Paragon: Only shows up in obscured flashbacks but he's the one who helped reform Zangill and set him on his mission to atone.
Mythology Gag: Zamsher was a fierce Blood Knight in Mebius, only changing his ways after Mebius and Hikari gave him some Humble Pie. Here, he is seen giving Humble Pie to Zangill, a fellow Blood Knight.

Zugugan

A colony of giant insects that once lived deep underground. However, they've begun sapping farmland soil of their nutrients, threatening the fields of Teruaki's hometown.

Alas, Poor Villain: At the end of the day they are just animals, but considering their large numbers and the danger they could bring to humanity, SKaRD had no choice but to exterminate their nest. Teruaki somberly apologizes before blowing them all up.
Back for the Finale: Several infant Zugugans appear in the final episode, helping the Demaagas eat Varallon's bombs so as to save Earth.
Big Creepy-Crawlies: Though not based on a specific insect species or group, they are stated to be insectoid in nature.
Blade Below the Shoulder: The adult Zugugan has two mantis-esque blades on the ends of its frontmost legs, which it uses to strike at foes with deadly accuracy.
Defeat Equals Explosion: The adult Zugugan explodes after being hit by a Firdran-empowered arrow.
Fooled by the Sound: After finding out the chirps the juveniles emit serve as a warning signal to other members in the colony, SKaRD manages to wipe out the colony by tricking them to swarm around an explosive-laced nest.
Gigantic Adults, Tiny Babies: The adult Zugugan stands at 50 meters tall, whereas its offspring are only slighty larger than the average human.
Sticky Situation: Both the juvenile and adult Zugugans can spit mucus to incapacitate foes.

Red King II

Another incarnation of the second variant of Red King, who forces a Guigass to submit to it and aid it into attacking the city.

See Ultraman TV Series for tropes pertaining to Red King in general.

Always a Bigger Fish: While physically stronger than Guigass, both monsters flee the Japanese Alps after seeing ... something in the sky.
The Bully: It beats a Guigass into submission and forces it to aid it in its rampages.
Died in Your Arms Tonight: Shares an embrace with Guigass before Blazar's and Earth Garon's combined attacks destroy both monsters.
Genius Bruiser: It's much smarter than the average Red King, being intelligent enough to instruct a Guigass into helping its rampages and using their teamwork to overwhelm Earthgaron.
Legacy Character: Stated to be the second Red King to have appeared in this show's universe, with another one having previously appeared in the Tartara islands.
Mythology Gag:
- It fights a Guigass and defeats it in the Japanese Alps, like in the 1966 series.
- Similarly to Kelbeam, it forces another kaiju to aid in its rampage and mistreats it through the whole process.
Oh, Crap!: Panics when it sees Earth Garon's and Blazar's oncoming combined finishers.

Guigass

An ape-like kaiju from the Japanese Alps which is forced by Red King to aid in its rampage.

See Ultraman TV Series for tropes pertaining to Guigass in general.

Ascended Extra: In past appearances, Guigass was little more than fodder that lost to the human forces and never lived long enough to fight an Ultraman. Here, it gets to put its icy breath and strength to good work against Earth Garon and fights both it and Blazar alongside Red King in the climax.
Breath Weapon: Capable of exhaling freezing mist from its mouth. Notably, this is the first time this ability has ever been portrayed on-screen after having only been mentioned in supplementary material to Ultraman.
Defeat Equals Friendship: Of sorts. It becomes Red King's right-hand after losing to it in a battle and helps it tag-team Earthgaron.
Died in Your Arms Tonight: Shares an embrace with Red King II before Blazar's and Earth Garon's combined attacks destroy both monsters.
The Dragon: Serves as Red King's right-hand in its rampage.
Mythology Gag:
- Fights and loses to a Red King in the Japanese Alps, like in its original outing.
- It's a monster that was forced to help another in its rampage like Earthron in Ultraman Mebius.
Oh, Crap!: Like Red King, it panics as the combined finishers of Earth Garon and Blazar are about to obliterate them both.
Pose of Supplication: Performs this after Red King defeats it, before becoming its lackey.
