Ultraman X
Ultraman X
- Voiced by: Yūichi Nakamura
- Bash Brothers: With Daichi.
- The Cape: As typical of most Ultramen, X is very much a straightforward, noble hero.
- Equippable Ally: X can utilize the Cyber Cards, which contain data of Cyber Monsters, to materialize on Ultraman X Mons Armors — sets of armor and weaponry based on classic Ultra Kaiju.
- Gomora Armor:
- Finishing Move: The Gomora Oscillatory Wave, based on Gomora's Super Oscillatory Wave and used in a similar fashion (except fired from his hands).
- Shout-Out: All of us were hyped when we realized that the Gomora Armor looks like WarGreymon from Digimon franchise.
- Wolverine Claws: The Gomora Claws on his armor — enlarged, cybernetic versions of Gomora's own claws.
- Eleking Armor:
- Arm Cannon: The BFG on its left arm.
- Finishing Move: The Eleking Electric Shockwave, which is a huge beam of lightning fired from its Arm Cannon.
- Shock and Awe: Since it's based on Eleking. According to X, Eleking Armor allows him to control electricity, but in the series, he only uses it to create a rope of electrical energy based on Eleking's Prehensile Tail.
- Bemstar Armor:
- Attack Reflector: Like the monster it;s based on, the Bemstar Armor can eat up energy attacks, but unlike Bemstar, it can shoot them back out at enemies.
- Battle Boomerang: The shield also acts as a boomerang.
- Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Equipped with a shield that resembles the monster's Belly Mouth. It also acts as a claw in melee combat.
- Zetton Armor:
- Arm Cannon: Is equipped with two of these on each arm.
- Barrier Warrior: The arm cannons can also produce Zetton's infamous force field, the Zetton Shutter.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Its first use was a trap set up by Alien Sran Quila to corrupt X into his puppet and fight against Ultraman Max. Daichi's quick thinking allows him to use Eleking's card and fry the program that corrupted X to bring him back.
- Playing with Fire: Taken from Zetton's ability to shoot fireballs, the Zetton Armor can shoot a powerful fireball to burn monsters into crisp.
- Spin Attack: A modification of the Zetton Shutter, Ultraman X creates a force field around himself before spinning rapidly like a tornado and slamming himself into the enemy like a gigantic crystal shard.
- Super-Strength: Even by Ultra Standards, because it uses Zetton's strength stacked on top of Ultraman X's. Even the Alien Sran complimented this form as the ultimate combination.
- Teleport Spam: Inherited from Zetton, though X does it by temporarily digitizing himself to move about.
- Hybrid Armor:
- All Your Powers Combined: Has the powers of all 4 MonsArmors, as well as the Xlugger.
- Super Mode: So super that he only unlocks the power when battling Greeza.
- Xlugger:
- Super Mode: But of course.
- Cool Sword: The Xlugger, which serves as a tribute to the Eye Slugger.
- Me's a Crowd: Can split into four different colored clones.
- Gomora Armor:
- Fusion Dance:
- With all the Spark Dolls in the finale in order to gain his Hybrid Armor form.
- While the Beta Spark is just another, albeit very strong armor, Ultraman and Ultraman Tiga fuse with him to give him the added boost to put Zaigorg down for good.
- Let X Be the Unknown: Daichi originally gives X that name because of how little Xio knows about him.
- Motor Mouth: Downplayed. X isn't a chatterbox in-series, but he and Daichi are unusual in that they actually have a bond that grows throughout the series. Usually the Ultraman doesn't get this level of dialogue or development, but X stands out.
- My Greatest Failure: X thought that when he threw Greeza into the sun, he ended its reign of terror. However, Greeza's death unleashed uncontrollable energy which then reacted with the sun and initiated the Ultra Flare. This leads to an awakening and subsequent rampage of slumbering spark dolls.
- Non-Standard Character Design: Among the New Generation Ultras, X has a notably more futuristic and cybernetic appearance, with his body having "mechanical" parts for instance antenna-like protrusions and his ears resembling headphones. It was likely intentional due to his "Cyber" origin.
- Sealed Good in a Can: Or sealed good in cyberspace.

- Gadgeteer Genius: Builds at least one of Ultraman X's armors from scratch.
- Memento MacGuffin: After his parents' disappearance, he keeps the Gomora Spark Doll from his dad and the space communicator from his mother.
- Technical Pacifist: Wants peace between humans and monsters, but willing to fight to save people if need be.
- Thou Shalt Not Kill: Daichi is a pacifistic person, wishes that one day, humans will peacefully coexist with monsters. This eventually fits him partnering with X, as the Ultra turns monsters into Spark Dolls.

- Played by: Akane Sakanoue
- Action Girl
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: The tomboy to Rui.
- Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Is the Action Girl of Xio and can easily beat Daichi in a sparring match (courtesy of her Cuteness Proximity), but is actually concern with her outlooks and considered her past as an old shame after beating a boy she liked in a Kendo match. In fact, episode 3 is filled with these moments.

- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite her bad criticism towards Asuna in episode 3 for her mistake, she buys her a new pair of shoes for her birthday present.
- Mama Bear: Is chosen by Nexus to wield his powers to protect her daughters. She does so. Deconstructed a bit, as she worries if she'll selfishly protect them with the power.
- The Chosen One: Was chosen by Ultraman Nexus to become the sixth Deunamist. While it was only temporary, it still counts.
- The Smart Guy: Tactical leader
- Team Mom: She's a mom herself and shares that affection with her subordinates.

Dr. Guruman
- Voiced by: Yasunori Matsumoto
For tropes applying to the Alien Fanton in general, see the Ultraman Mebius Character Sheet
- Aliens Speaking English: Unlike the Fanton from Mebius, Guruman can speak Japanese.
- All There in the Manual: According to the magazines, the Fantonian race were one of the founders of Xio alongside United Nations. They also said that should Xio went out of food supply, Guruman has an emergency C-Pin 929 stored inside.
- Amusing Alien: He can be pretty silly sometimes.
- Big Eater: He eats thirteen meals a day due to his race being gluttonous.
- Gadgeteer Genius: He created the Cyber Kaiju technology Xio and Ultraman X use.
- Genius Ditz: Is the main supporter to Xio's techs but on one occasion drank Rui's invisible potion by accident.
- Heavy Sleeper: When he sleeps from his post lunch, almost nothing is capable of awakening him.
- Meaningful Name: Due to his species being a race of Big Eaters, it's appropriate that his name is derived from the Japanese pronunciation of "gourmet" or "gourmand".
- The Professor: Fills this role for Xio quite often. He's quite versed in alien history and culture, as well as science, allowing him to fill the humans in on any aliens they meet.
- Secret Secret-Keeper: Implied to be the only one who knows Daichi is Ultraman X (at least before the finale)).
- Spell My Name With An S: Sometimes translated as "Dr. Gourman".
Cyber Gomora/Gomora/EX Gomora
- First Appearance: An Unknown Friend (Gomora and EX Gomora appear in "Living Together")
See the Ultraman TV Series Character Sheet for tropes applying to Gomora in general
- Adaptational Heroism: This is the second heroic Gomora in the franchise after the one from Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle. Likewise, he also possesses the Super Oscillatory Wave.
- Boxing Battler: Courtesy of Captain Kamiki as the controller, despite its gauntlet claws, Cyber Gomora can fight against Gomess (S) in a boxing attack.
- Empowered Badass Normal: Gomora is already a serious badass, but as Cyber Gomora, it's taken up to eleven.
- Humongous Mecha: As Cyber Gomora, a materialized version of Ultraman X's Cyber Gomora Card.
- Mythology Gag:
- The series Blu-Ray release reveals Daichi's father discovered Gomora's Spark Doll on a place called Johnson Island — the island where Science Patrol countered the original Gomora in Ultraman!
- His battle against Zaragas was an homage to Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends, in which the other heroic Gomora of theUltra Series battled the monster.
- Power Fist: As Cyber Gomora, Gomora's normal punches are enhanced with the ability to charge its claws with energy. Often used in combination with the Super Oscillatory Wave for maximum damage.
- Sealed Good in a Can: Due to the fact that he's in the form of a Spark Doll for the first half of the series.
- Superpowered Evil Side: EX Gomora when he gets hit by a bolt of Dark Thunder Energy.
- Toy Transmutation: He is a Spark Doll most of the series. In Episode 19, "Living Together" Gomora is temporarily given back his original physical form before being forced back into his Spark Doll due to getting corrupted by Dark Thunder Energy. He does receive a new body with less danger of losing control in Cyber Gomora.
- Undying Loyalty: Gomora and Daichi are very close companions, as they've only had each other for the past fifteen years. Gomora is thus very loyal to Daichi and Ultraman X, first manifesting as Cyber Gomora as a result of its determination to help him battle King Joe.
Monsters and Aliens
Demaaga
- First Appearance: Voice from the Starry Sky
- Breath Weapon: Able to breathe a heat beam.
- Breakout Villain: The most popular monster from X's series, who shows up in both its original and upgraded Tsurugi form, and gets to do battle with nearly every Ultramen from Ginga to Z.

- Extra-ore-dinary: Demaaga's body is 79% molten iron.
- Meaningful Name: It's named after Amenomahitotsu-no-Kami, a god of iron manufacture and blacksmiths, which ties into its 79% molten iron body composition and its evolved forms being named after bladed weapons.
- Not Zilla: The design borrows heavily from Godzilla, much like Earthtron. But like Earthtron, Demaaga is an original suit.
- Our Demons Are Different: Described in ancient texts as an "iron demon" and confirmed by Word of God to literally originate from Hell like Zaigorg.
- Playing with Fire: His powers were all based on fire, as he is capable of launching fireballs from his spikes and unleashes the deadly heat ray from his mouth.

- Spikes of Villainy: Covered in several long ones on the back.

- Tunnel King: Shown to be a proficient burrower.
Birdon
- First Appearance: A Collection of Possibilities
See Ultraman Taro

Underground Woman

- Dead Person Impersonation: She takes on the identity of a late beautician named Ryoko Mabuse.
- Humans Are the Real Monsters: Believes that humans are to be destroyed for brightening the night sky with their city lights.
- Karma Houdini: She simply runs away after Telesdon is destroyed and is never seen again.
- Make Me Wanna Shout: She releases a banshee-like wail that summon Telesdon. Asuna's analysis of the wail shows that it is one of sadness and anger, representing her hatred of lights brightening the night.
- Race Lift: The original Underground Woman was played by a Caucasian lady, but here, she's played by a Japanese actress.
- Sinister Shades: Almost never seen without 'em, and for good reason.
- Urban Legend: The subject of one.
Alien Zarab
- First Appearance: All for OneVoiced by: You Murakami
See Ultraman TV Series
- Art Evolution: Due to a refurbishing of the suit, Zarab's body is now a darker shade of gray with a smaller head and a skinnier form. Additionally, the mouth was changed to more closely resemble Bemstar's Belly Mouth to play up their connection.
- Forgot About His Powers: This is the first series in which Alien Zarab never uses his shapeshifting powers, which writer Hisako Kurosawa would later state regret for not including into the story.
- Mad Bomber: He makes a career of destroying other planets.
- Mythology Gag: The remote detonator he uses resembles a tiny version of the translator the original Alien Zarab carried with him. Could be an in-joke by the writer's part.
- The Worf Effect: After Dr. Guruman managed to replicate the effect of an Ultraman's beam, Zarab is the first kaiju-sized opponent to be used as target practice. It works, Zarab gets killed on the spot, proving XIO's capability in repelling monsters and backing up Ultras.
Bemstar
- First Appearance: All for One
See Return of Ultraman
- Black-Hole Belly: Literally too, although not seen in Bemstar's previous appearances.
- Magma Man: Bemstar's Black Hole Belly Mouth contains what is called a Magma Enzyme, which basically turns Bemstar's stomach into a volcano that digests anything swimming in its lava.
- Pet Monstrosity: Alien Zarab's kaiju lackey who serves as the muscle.
- Unrealistic Black Hole: Bemstar's gorge sucks up objects like a black hole in this series, up to and including Ultraman X.
Alien Nackle Bandero

See Return of Ultraman
- All There in the Manual: The official blog of Tsuburaya Productions says that he works for Alien Markind, who appears nine episodes later.
- Arms Dealer: His MO and the reason he goes after the Spark Dolls. He also apparently sells torture devices as well, as he offers his contact some if he acts quickly.
- Art Evolution: His design, in contrast to the other Alien Nackle who appears later on in the series, is a throwback to the original Alien Nackle from Return of Ultraman.
- Badass Cape: His big brown poncho.
- Ironic Echo: Director Koichi Sakamoto has said that Rui using the Xio Aramis to run into him is meant to be one to Return of Ultraman, specifically a sort of "revenge" for the original one's murder of Aki Sakata.
- Shout-Out:
- His name is an homage to the protagonist of Little Caesar, Caesar Enrico Bandello.
- His fate appears to be a Shout-Out to Gene Hackman's demise in The Quick and the Dead.
- Social Darwinist: Has a 'survival of the fittest' mantra.
- Torso with a View: Bandero is eventually defeated when he and Ultraman Zero fires at each other, respectively with Bandero's blaster and Zero's Miracle Twin Sluggers. Bandero doesn't realize he's been mortally wounded until he sees several holes in his shadow.

Black King
- First Appearance: When the Aegis Shines
See Return of Ultraman
- Aim for the Horn: Has its horn kicked off by Ultraman Zero, promptly causing Alien Nackle to collect Black King and beat it. In a later scene Black King's horn has been replaced by a laser-firing drill.
- Mythology Gag: Black King's drill horn is one to Andro Melos, in which the title hero faces another Black King equipped with a similar weapon.
- This Is a Drill: Gets one after Ultraman Zero destroys its big horn.
Alien Gold tE-rU
- First Appearance: The Man with the Memories of a PlanetPortrayed by: Masaya Kikawada
- Human Aliens: His species.
- Fallen Princess: Gender-Inverted Trope for tE-rU as he is the sole survivor of his kind from Gargorgon's attack.
- Hand Blast: Can fire golden bolts of energy from his fingers.
- Healing Hands: Can release a golden wave of energy from his hands to heal injuries.

- Royals Who Actually Do Something: Is the royal prince who pilots a Humongous Mecha and goes all out to save his planet.
Rudian
- First Appearance: The Man with the Memories of a Planet
- Arm Cannon: Its gattling gun arms are able to fire powerful missiles from the center.
- Crippling Overspecialisation: Having gatling guns for arms sure is difficult, especially when dealing blows with Gargorgon, so Rudian is only a ranged fighter compared to her.
- Humongous Mecha: Its sort of a dog-headed guardian robot.
- More Dakka: Its arms are gattling guns.
- Robot Dog: It's mechanical head motif is clearly based on a canine.
- Sealed Good in a Can: The Gold aliens keep Rudian in the form of a Spark Doll when it isn't needed.
- Shout-Out: The robot's dog-like head is meant to be one to Friender from Neo Human Casshern.
- Sleep-Mode Size: Rudian is unique in this series in that Spark Doll form is its natural state when not in use, rather than being forcefully changed into one.
Gargorgon
- First Appearance: The Man with the Memories of a PlanetVoiced by: Jenya
- Arc Villain: First monster from X's show that appears in a two-parter episode.
- Attack Its Weakpoint: Her petrifying eye is also where she stores her stolen energy. Destroying it instantly cures all her petrified victims. However, unlike most, she can heal from having it destroyed.
- Eyeless Face: Her two lesser heads. As for her main head, see Eyes Do Not Belong There below.
- Eyes Do Not Belong There: Her petrifying eye is in her mouth.
- Hartman Hips: Befitting a female reptilian monster, her body is rather bottom-heavy; director Takanori Tsujimoto specifically requested her to be designed with a feminine body shape.
- Hate Sink: She literally has zero redeeming qualities and is the most despicable creature in the entire series, and her entire character arc solely emphasizes how horrid she is as a destroyer of worlds. The two-parter featuring Gargorgon seems to be a build-up for the most cathartic and satisfying kaiju demise at that point of the series, and it's hard not to cheer when she earns her comeuppance by being blasted into pieces by tE-rU, after every horrible thing she did to his home world.
- Healing Factor: Slowly regenerates body parts over time.
- Hoist by Her Own Petard: X uses the Cyber Bemstar Armor to catch her Taken for Granite attack and send it back, turning her to stone.
- Karmic Death: Was killed by being turned to stone by her own attack after using it to terrorize Planet Gold, Earth, and probably other planets as well, then shattered by Rudian.
- It Can Think: At first she appears to just be a mindless beast, but then it reveals it is indeed fully sapient.
- Killed Off for Real: Unlike the majority of monsters, she's not turned into a Spark Doll. Instead she's turned to stone and shattered.
- Literally Shattered Lives: Is turned to stone when X uses the Bemstar Armor to reflect her Taken for Granite attack back at her, after which Rudian shatters her with its gattling guns.
- Long Neck: Her smaller heads can stretch out to great distances to strike at enemies by surprise.
- Meaningful Name: Her name is a combination of "gargoyle" and "gorgon".
- More Hateable Minor Villain: While Greeza is a world-destroying abomination, it is nonetheless a mindless entity that is more of a force to be stopped. No such thing applies to Gargorgon, a sadistic sapient Kaiju who petrified entire worlds for her amusement and enjoys every second of her victims' suffering and her many atrocities.
- Multiple Head Case: She has one main head and two secondary heads on her shoulders.
- Multiple-Tailed Beast: Possesses two tails.
- Non-Mammal Mammaries: She has two raised spheres on her chest that resemble breasts.
- Shock and Awe: Able to fire lightning bolts from the heads on her shoulders.
- Tail Slap: her two rattlesnake-like tails can be used for this.
- Taken for Granite: Has the power to turn others to stone with the eye in her mouth. She does this by charging up a laser from said eye and then firing it out towards the target.
Zetton
- First Appearance: X in Peril
See Ultraman TV Series
- Continuity Nod: Is the variant from Ultraman Max.
- Easily-Distracted Referee: He does nothing even as the Dark Star Cluster blatantly cheats in their rugby match. Isamu (and nobody else, hilariously) calls him out.
Alien Sran Quila
- First Appearance: X in PerilVoiced by: Kenta Matsumoto
See Ultraman Max
- Avenging the Villain: Quila sought to destroy Ultraman Max in revenge for the death of the original Alien Sran.
- Meaningful Name: His name is derived from Kuàisù (快速?), the Chinese word for "Speed", since Super-Speed is his species' signature ability.
Alien Valky Haruki
- First Appearance: We are Nebula!Voiced by: Tatsuya Hashimoto
See Ultraman Taro
- Expy: Of the Alien Valky from Ultraman Ginga, who has the same personality traits, mannerisms and voice.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Sure he's brash and suggested to exploit someone's lost money to pay their rent but he has soft side for his pet Samekujira Jolly and even encouraged Isamu during his hardship, likewise he is still honest enough to report the aforementioned money to a police officer after thinking about it.
- The Mirror Shows Your True Self: Haruki's human disguise is dispelled when reflected upon a mirror, which reveals his true form as an Alien Valky. Which Isamu finds out one morning when spotting an oblivious Haruki brushing his teeth.
- Reformed Criminal: According to Daichi's Monster Lab he was once an invader before giving that lifestyle up for a simple and peaceful life on Earth.
- Token Heroic Orc: All previous Alien Valky in the shows have been villains. Halky and its alien friends (Nackley and Ikari) were once an invading force but willingly gave that up for a peaceful life.
Alien Icarus Ikari
- First Appearance: We are Nebula!Voiced by: Tomokazu Seki
See Ultraseven
- Art Evolution: Compared to the rather crude and cheap looking head of the previous Alien Icarus, this one looks exactly like the original with polished edges and thus shows a lot more quality.

- Reformed Criminal: According to Daichi's Monster Lab he was once an invader before giving that lifestyle up for a simple and peaceful life on Earth.

Alien Nackle Nakuri
- First Appearance: We are Nebula!Voiced by: Kunji Hirano
See Return of Ultraman

- Reformed Criminal: According to Daichi's Monster Lab he was once an invader before giving that lifestyle up for a simple and peaceful life on Earth.
- Token Heroic Orc: All previous Alien Nackle in the shows have been villains. Nackley and its alien friends (Halky and Ikari) were once an invading force but willingly gave that up for a peaceful life.
Alien Babalou
- First Appearance: We are Nebula!Voiced by: Kazunori Naotsuka
See Ultraman Leo
- Curb-Stomp Battle: The rugby match initially begins in their favour, with the Dark Star Cluster stomping Nebula House with a 51-0 lead. Isamu turns this around in the final round.

- Loophole Abuse: Freely using beam attacks and disguises while playing rugby, saying that its not written in the rules for against using it.
- Sore Loser: After Nebula House won the space rugby match, the Dark Star Cluster instead decides to turn kaiju-sized to crush everyone.
Dada
- First Appearance: We are NebulaVoiced by: Takahiro Maeda (first Dada), Daisuke Nagumo (second Dada)
See Ultraman TV Series
- Sore Loser: Applies for the first Dada, who's part of the Dark Star Cluster. After Nebula House won the space rugby match, the Dark Star Cluster instead decides to turn kaiju-sized to crush everyone.

Kemur-Man
- First Appearance: We are Nebula!Voiced by: Koichi Toshima

- Sore Loser: Only the first Kemurian, who's part of the Dark Star Cluster. After Nebula House won the space rugby match, the Dark Star Cluster instead decides to turn kaiju-sized to crush everyone.
- Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: The Kemur-Man actually cried when reminded of his mother during his interrogation.
- Shrink Ray: Kemur-Man always does Alien Abduction, but the second one uses shrinking guns rather than the usual teleportation slime to capture women.
Alien Zetton
- First Appearance: We are Nebula!Voiced by: Yuki Ono
See Ultraman TV Series
- Sore Loser: After Nebula House won the space rugby match, the Dark Star Cluster instead decides to turn kaiju-sized to crush everyone.
- Expy: His clothes, mannerisms, and voice actor are directly lifted from the Alien Zetton known as Berume who appeared in Ultraman Ginga S.
- Sizeshifter: This is the only appearance of Alien Zetton where he can turn kaiju-sized. According to the official website, it's a courtesy from his golden tuxedo.
Alien Akumania
- First Appearance: We are Nebula!
See Ultraman Leo
- Continuity Cameo: He only shows up for a few minutes as a referee.
Houlinga
- First Appearance: The Monster Won't Move
- Breath Weapon: Houlinga sprays pollen from its flower-like mouth. It's not deadly, but instead causes really bad sneezing fits.
- Combat Tentacles: Mainly uses its multiple blue tentacles to battle Ultraman X.
- Gentle Giant: Houlinga is a peaceful monster that mainly just sits in one spot and lets things happen around it as it waits to become a mountain. However, Xio gives the monster medicine, making it extremely active, and it grows even more furious when they attempt to move it to a new location.
- Green Thumb: Upon death, it transforms into a mountain covered in lush vegetation and blesses the surrounding location with renewed soil fertility, creating yellow flowers everywhere.
- Moe Anthropomorphism: In a rare example, Houlinga's Moe form actually shows up onscreen in the episode it debuts in, on a magazine promoting tourists to have a look at Houlinga.
- Planimal: Its sort of a hybrid of a mollusk and a flower.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: When it becomes angry, its eyes turn red.
- Vine Tentacles: It has multiple tentacle-like wooden vines that spread far and wide from the mountain where Houlinga is rooted. As one of the few non-hostile plant monsters in the franchise, Houlinga's vines are initially meant for delivering nutrients to the land, but it then goes on a rampage after being injected with poison, up weaponizing its vines to grab and throttle Ultraman X.
King Joe
- First Appearance: An Unknown Friend
See Ultraseven
- Call-Back: Xio identifies King Joe as a weapon built by the Pedans from documents in the past, referencing the robot's past appearances in the franchise.
- Invisible Aliens: While this particular King Joe is confirmed to be affiliated with the Pedans (unlike it's previous appearance in Ultraman Ginga where it's a Spark Doll), the Pedanians controlling it isn't shown onscreen at any point of the episode.
- Mythology Gag: It was defeated by the Galaxy Sword bestowed by Ultraman Max several episodes ago, a nod to how King Joe made it's first return to the series in the 2000s in Max's show.
Gina Spectre
- First Appearance: End of the RainbowPlayed by: Minami Tsukui
- Adaptational Attractiveness: In Andro Melos, Gina looked a lot more like a female version of her brothers (like this◊, to be exact), so she couldn't exactly be called "sexy". Here, she's the most human-like of the three, though it's completely possible that this is merely a form she has decided to take.
- Badass Normal: She shows no special combat abilities, relying solely on her martial arts and agility (as well as a little help from lackeys) to fight her enemies
- Back from the Dead: She was originally one of the Big Bads of the obscure 1984 spin-off Andro Melos, but was revived by Yapool alongside her siblings during Ultra Fighty Victory. Unlike her brothers though, she never appears in her true form.
- The Baroness: Natch. She's got the whip, the looks, the asskicking power, and the mercilessness of one.
- Dark Action Girl: Although she never fights any of the Ultramen due to remaining human-sized for the whole story arc, she fights Asuna and later Arisa and puts up a strong battle against the two Action Girls.
- Fusion Dance: In the final battle against Ultramen X, Ginga, and Victory, she merges with Mold to become Guar Spectre (Mold with a power boost essentially).
- Galactic Conqueror: Her goal, alongside Mold, is to restore their old armies and restart their conquest of the universe.
- Knight of Cerebus: Her appearance also marks the introduction of the mysterious Dark Thunder Energy and Ultraman X gaining Exceed Mode, which begins the slow buildup to the events of the finale.
- Whip of Dominance: Her weapon of choice is a whip, fitting her status as a domineering and ruthless villainess. She also likes to use it to beat her minions when they fail her, as Aliens Shaplay and Magma found out after their first battle.
Tsurugi Demaaga
- First Appearance: End of the Rainbow
- Blade Below the Shoulder: Though it possesses additional ones on its shoulders.
- Breath Weapon: Like the original Demaaga, it breathes fire.
- Elite Mook: It's a more powerful version of Demaaga, thanks to the power of Dark Thunder Energy.
- The Juggernaut: Immune to the Xanadium Ray, which is one of the boons of Dark Thunder Energy.
- Knight of Cerebus: This monster was no joke when it came to battling Ultraman X, as its Dark Thunder Energy empowerment makes it deadly to Ultraman X, which eventually leads to Daichi and X unlocking the Xlugger.
- Mook Carryover: Despite originally being a minion of Gina, more Tsurugi Demaagas are seen under Zaigorg's control in The Movie.
Zaragas
- First Appearance: End of the Rainbow
See Ultraman TV Series

Alien Magma
- First Appearance: End of the RainbowVoiced by: Isamu Yusen
See Ultraman Leo
- Co-Dragons: One of the two alien servants besides Shaplay that assists Gina and Juda.
- Dual Wielding: Variant. Due to his species' signature skill being their Shapeshifter Weapons, he instead turns both of his arms into sabers, rather than just his right arm.
Mold Spectre
- First Appearance: The Sword of VictoryVoiced by: Hidenari Ugaki
- Arc Villain: Serves as the major threat of 3 episodes in the middle of the series.
- Avenging the Villain: He's mad at Victory for killing Juda, thus part of his reason to kill Ultras is to avenge his youngest sibling.
- Back from the Dead: Like Gina and Juda, he was originally one of the Big Bads of Andro Melos. Yapool resurrected them about thirty years later, and although Juda was killed quickly, he and Gina fled to Ultraman X's universe.
- The Brute: In comparison to his siblings, Mold prefers to rely on brute force in combat, whereas Gina uses her agility and wits while Juda takes the best of both.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: A tyrant he may be, Mold is caring for his siblings and part of his reason to kill the Ultramen is to avenge Juda.
- Fusion Dance: Gina merges with him to give him a power boost, turning them into Guar Spectre for the final battle against the Ultramen.
- Galactic Conqueror: Before he was killed, he was one. After being resurrected, he and Gina intend to go back to it, starting with Earth and getting rid of those pesky Ultra heroes first.
- Weapon Specialization: His weapon of choice is a battleaxe. It can also be thrown like a boomerang.
Mecha-Gomora
- First Appearance: The Shining Sky and the Land Beneath It
See Ultraman Zero
Gomess
- First Appearance: A Soldier's Back
See Ultra Q
- Breath Weapon Due to the Dark Thunder Energy, Gomess can breathe a beam of atomic energy.
- Shout-Out: Since the original Gomess was created with a Godzilla suit, the crew took a few opportunities to add Godzilla references. Including the atomic breath mentioned above, Gomess' roars are enhanced with some of Jirass' roars. Incidentally, the episode Gomess appears in here first aired on November 3, the date the original Godzilla (1954) debuted.
Cicada Woman
- First Appearance: Feature Report! 24 Hours Inside Xio!Portrayed by: Una
See Ultra Q

Gubila

See Ultraman TV Series
Pigmon
- First Appearance: My Friend's a Monster
See Ultraman TV Series
- Friend to All Children: While Pigmon is always a friendly monster towards humans, in this series, Pigmon shows a particular affinity for children and likes to play with them.
- Heroic Sacrifice: As per Pigmon appearances. This time, he saves a man from being crushed by King Gesura, only to be seemingly killed. Fortunately, this time he survives.
King Gesura
- First Appearance: My Friend's a Monster
See Ultraman TV Series
- Spike Shooter: Gesura's usual venomous spines are upgraded to these, thanks to the Dark Thunder Energy.
Space Cat Mu
- First Appearance: Wataru's RomanceVoiced by: Jenya
See Ultraman Max
- Art Evolution: Unlike the original Space Cats, Mu possesses two large cat-like ears and two extra tentacles that act as arms. These were added to make her more expressive and maneuverable.
- Because You Were Nice to Me: Ultraman X saved her from being bullied by a Dorako years ago, hence her reason for following X.
- EMP: Whereas the original Space Cats emitted waves from their body that caused amnesia, Mu emits waves that cause electronics to malfunction.
- Fartillery:Invoked unintentionally; whenever Mu farts she releases amnesiac gas, which causes living beings to forget what they were doing and what just happened. In the Ultraman video game, the ability is called (乙女の香りOtome no Kaori) or a Maiden's Scent.
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: Whereas the original Space Cats caused general amnesia with their presence, Mu instead releases an amnesiac gas from her rear that causes people to forget who she is. Her tears instantly cure it, but they cause her to lose her own memories!
Red King/EX Red King
- First Appearance: Wataru's Romance
See Ultraman TV Series
Dorako
- First Appearance: Wataru's Romance
See Ultraman TV Series
- The Bully: One that tries roughing up Mu for no discernible reason.
- Dirty C Oward: Picking on weak, helpless Mu is totally fine, but facing Ultraman X? Screw This, I'm Outta Here it is.
- Noodle Incident: Why is it picking on Mu? Is there a backstory for it's behaviour?
- We Hardly Knew Ye: Appears in a flashback that lasts for less than 10 seconds.
- Uncertain Doom: It remains unknown whether Dorako simply fled after being confronted by Ultraman X (like the previous Dorako in Ultraman) or if it gets vaporized via Xanadium Beam.
- Would Hit a Girl: It's introduced stomping on the defenseless Mu and gloating all the way, even though Mu is clearly unable to defend herself. Then Ultraman X comes to the rescue.
M1
- First Appearance: Living TogetherVoiced by: Shozo Iizuka
See Ultra Q
- Baritone of Strength: He now speaks in a deep voice, which accentuates his incredible power.
- Black Eyes of Evil: Subverted. M1 had gained completely black eyes upon his ascension into the Ultimate Life Form, but he's not evil, just cynical and embittered by isolation in space.
- Freudian Excuse: His disbelief in humanity's ability to live peacefully with others originates from how he was jettisoned into space for being a failed experiment.
- Humans Are Bastards: He believes that humans are inherently incapable of coexisting with other creatures and challenges Daichi on his ideals about it.
- Mythology Gag: The third and final recap episode of Ultraman X states this is the original M1 from Ultra Q (who was launched into space at the end of his appearance).
- Psychic Powers: Possesses these in this series, allowing him to subdue Ultraman X and speak to him and Daichi.
- Shout-Out: His trapping of Ultraman X in a glass vial is a reference to Ultraseven, when Seven ends up in the same situation after being shrunk by the undead Shadowmen.
- Took a Level in Cynic: M1 was originally playful, curious and innocent, posing no threat to anyone. This one was jaded by his time in space and turned into a cynical being who believes human coexistence with other beings was impossible, at least until Daichi convinces him otherwise.
- Ultimate Life Form: Claims to be this and can more than back it up. As he shows borderline, if not outright Omnipotence and X/Daichi are completely helpless and powerless against him, with them only being capable of talking M1 down.
Bemular
- First Appearance: Bonds -Unite-
See Ultraman TV Series
- Early-Bird Cameo: Bemular was shown as early as episode 1, 15 years ago when the Ultra Flare happened. Whether the one who fought Nexus is the one from the past is unknown.
- Killed Offscreen: Bemular's fate isn't shown onscreen, but according to Tsuburaya Ultraman Nexus defeats it while Xio is occupied investigating the Bugbuzun infestation.
- Mythology Gag: Bemular's battle with Nexus at a lake homages Bemular's appearance in the original Ultraman where a lake was the stage of combat, as well as Nexus' battle against The One (who is based on Bemular) in Ultraman: The Next.
- Would Hurt a Child: Bemular was attempting to stomp on two little girls until Ultraman Nexus comes to the rescue, though it's uncertain if it's intentionally malicious or only acting on instincts.
Bugbuzun Brood
- First Appearance: Bonds -Unite-
See Ultraman Nexus
- Art Evolution: Compared to the original Bugbuzun Broods (who had human-like builds and were able to wear clothes), these ones are based on the giant form the Unknown Hand turned them into in Ultraman Nexus EX. So instead, their new giant form sports large shoulder spikes borrowed from fellow Space Beast Arakunia.
- Big Creepy-Crawlies: And if their man-sized form isn't creepy enough, one of these ends up turning kaiju-sized!
- Make My Monster Grow: The one Bugbuzun struck by Dark Energy ends up enlarging into a kaiju.
- Violence is the Only Option: Space Beasts by extension are violent monsters, whose sole purpose of existence is to feed on the fear of others. As pacifist as Daichi is, he has no choice but to agree destroying these monsters.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: Bugbuzun Broods are spawned by a Bugbuzun Golar in their Nexus appearance, but Xio makes no attempt to find the Bugbuzun Golar, nor is it ever mentioned by even Ultraman X. Director Yuichi Abe explained that Bugbuzun Golar was dropped as he wanted the Broods to be more threatening.
Greeza
- First Appearance: A Beautiful End
- All Your Powers Combined: After absorbing all of Xio's Spark Dolls, Greeza puts their powers to good use against Ultraman X.
- Hand Blast: Gomora's Super Oscillatory Wave is fired as such.
- Playing with Fire: Has the fiery powers of Demaaga, EX Red King, and Zetton.
- Shock and Awe: Uses Eleking's electrical powers.
- Almighty Idiot: An extremely powerful creature but seems to be on the mental level of wild animal. It seems to only absorb life because it's in it's nature rather than any real desire for power.
- The Assimilator: It can absorb Spark Dolls to gain the powers of the monsters.
- Attack Reflector: It can absorb attacks, store them in its body, and then fire them back.
- Barrier Warrior: Could create a powerful force field.
- Big Bad: It is the main antagonist of the series, and also revealed to be the creator of Dark Thunder Energy.
- The Blank: Its humanoid form possesses one, which is intended to be a Shout-Out to Zetton. It can also fire a massive laser from there.
- Chest Blaster: The Greeza Double Helix, its most powerful ability.
- Discard and Draw: The final form of Greeza loses most of its attacks in exchange for a set of armor and the ability to utilize Spark Dolls' power. As well as its previous intangibility courtesy of the Xlugger turning it into a physical being.
- Evil Counterpart: To X. More obvious in its final form, when it starts using attacks stolen from the Spark Dolls in a manner similar to X's Armors. Additionally, one can argue that its final form is wearing a set of armor like X's Mons Armor.
- Eldritch Abomination: A strange purplish alien monster who seems to waver in and out of reality as if it was not really there. Xio's radar shows a mass of literally nothing when it appears.Guruman: "If there was a space energy reading of zero, then there's nothing in front of Space Musketty. Literally nothing, I mean. Zero, a void. That light shown is our senses trying to perceive a total lack of information."
- EMP: Able to create EMP shockwaves from its body.
- The Faceless: It's entire face is just a blank glowing orange patch. And somehow it makes him even creepier.
- Giggling Villain: Greeza's roar is a series of psychotic giggles that echo over and over.
- Homing Lasers: Can fire innumerable numbers of these from all over its body.
- Hurl It into the Sun: X tried to kill him by throwing into the sun. It only put him out of commission for a few years before he began reforming, and caused the Ultra Flare incident.
- Metamorphosis Monster: Begins as a large orb-like object, but after arriving on Earth and absorbing various Spark Dolls around the world it takes on a humanoid form similar to Zetton. After absorbing all of Xio's Spark Dolls, it transforms into an armored version covered in spikes and equipped with numerous weapons.
- Mind Screw: Everything about Greeza is wrong as a whole, despite clearly being seen and interacted with by our heroes, it's still not detected in radars and described as "nothing" with its presence being more of the human mind invoking A Form You Are Comfortable With in regards to a complete lack of information.
- Negative Space Wedgie: Word of God describes Greeza as a living space anomaly, making it a sentient version of the trope.
- Nigh-Invulnerable: Greeza's nature as a space-time anomaly makes it nearly impossible to damage. It is still insanely hard to damage even after the Xlugger forces it into a new physical body.
- No-Sell: Everything thrown at it doesn't even make it flinch until X's Hybrid Armor destroys it thanks to the Xlugger turning Greeza into a physical being.
- Not Quite Dead: It survived being thrown into the sun at the start of the series! Later on X blows up its second form in a sacrificial attack and Greeza simply regenerates instantly.
- Oh, Crap!: Despite literally not having a face, Greeza manages to get a good one when X fires the Final Xanadium Beam at it.
- Omnicidal Maniac: A space-time anomaly monster that seeks to destroy planets and the entire Solar system.
- Person of Mass Destruction: Wiped three planets barren of life and intends to do the same to the entire universe.
- Power of the Void: Greeza is best described as a sentience void-like anomaly that destroys everything around it. Its Boss Subtitles are even "Void Monster". Ultimately, it takes being forced into a physical form for Greeza to be able to be defeated.
- Reality Warper: As it technically doesn't exist (hence why Xio's detectors showed a blank spot where it should be), its connection with reality is unstable, causing all sorts of minor weirdness around it. Defeating it involved forcing it into a physical body, removing most of its Reality Warper powers.
- Space Master: Due to its loose connection to reality, its movements are highly erratic. This can result in it suddenly teleporting, hyper-speed traveling, suddenly stopping its enemy mid-punch, and a reflective force field randomly appearing in front of it.
- Spontaneous Weapon Creation: Able to conjure five orbs that create energy whips to lash enemies.
- You Cannot Grasp the True Form: Guruman notes the light it first appears in is merely their brains trying to comprehend a complete lack of information, as Greeza is a sapient void. It's unclear if this applies to its monster form as well or just its initial form.
Zaigorg
- First Appearance: Ultraman X The Movie: Here Comes! Our Ultraman!
- An Arm and a Leg: After getting his Beta Spark Armor, X slices his mace hand clean off with his sword.
- Ancient Evil: Was imprisoned in ancient times until it escaped in the present day.
- Belly Mouth: It has a mouth on its chest that opens up like a flower to fire its Chest Blaster.
- Big Bad: Of The Movie.
- Breath Weapon: Can fire a powerful beam of electrical red energy from its mouth.
- Chest Blaster: Can open up its chest mouth and fire a gigantic beam of red energy.
- Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Zaigorg intentionally contrasts Etelgar, the villain of the previous movie. While both of them are demonic-looking and can summon monster minions, Etelgar is humanoid and covered in divine-looking gold armour, while Zaigorg is an orthodox kaiju with a sinister purple and red colour scheme. Etelgar is also capable of speech and hides his villainy under an affable façade, while Zaigorg can only roar and does not even attempt to hide its evil nature.
- Cruel Mercy: After defeating X and sealing Daichi's ability to transform, Zaigorg looks directly at him and watches him notice what happened before departing with an Evil Laugh, suggesting Zaigorg intentionally spared him so he could watch Zaigorg's rampage and do nothing about it.
- Evil Counterpart: Another one to X. Its chest mouth resembles X's color timer and resembles the letter "X" when open, it uses the powers of past villains (summoning two past kaiju rather than copying powers) and its beam attack is on par with X's Hybrid armor finisher.
- Evil Laugh: It's roar sounds like one. Unlike Greeza's, which sounded like psychotic giggling, his sounds deep and threatening.
- Hell on Earth: Zaigorg's end goal is to create a world were the earth smolders and the oceans boil. He did it in ancient times until the Ultramen defeated him.
- It Can Think: Given it was smart enough to track down the thing that kept it sealed in the first place in an attempt to prevent it from being sealed again, it's implied it's no mindless beast. It's also smart enough to be one of the few kaiju in X that can be considered genuinely evil. Makes sense given it's implied he's literally the X universe's equal of the Devil.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Ultraman X's Beta Spark Arrow goes straight through his chest and comes out the other side.
- The Juggernaut: Was able to survive not only multiple Specium Rays, Zepellion Rays, and the like, but survived the Xlugger!
- Meaningful Name: Zaigorg's name is a mutation of "Jigoku", the Japanese word for "hell", also romanized as "Zigoku". It can also be read as "Sin Suffering."
- Mook Maker: Is capable of creating cloned 'Gorg' Monsters.
- More Teeth than the Osmond Family: Not only does it's mouth have plenty of teeth already, a close look shows he has a second set inside his mouth.
- Mythology Gag: As the movie Zaigorg makes its debut in celebrates the 50th anniversary of Ultraman, designer Masayuki Gotoh designed Zaigorg as an amalgamation of different kaiju that debuted in Ultraman:
- Its numerous eyes are taken from Alien Baltan.
- Its face and forward-facing horns are designed after Neronga, specifically when Neronga's two antennae rotate forward to fire its electric beam.
- Its chest is inspired by Greenmons.
- The ribbed texture on its limbs and tail reference Red King.
- The shape of the tentacles hidden in its chest mouth is identical to Suflan. Its tail spike also resembles an abstracted version of Suflan's leaves.
- The only parts of its body that aren't designed after Ultraman kaiju are its back spikes and the red parts of its body, which were respectively based on Varan and Destoroyah. Aside from being a Shout-Out to the Godzilla franchise, it's also a nod to how many kaiju from Ultraman were modified from Godzilla kaiju (Jirass being the most notable example).
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Zaigorg's name is a mutation of the word "Jigoku", the Japanese word for "Hell." It can also mean "Sin Suffering." His subtitle can mean Devil Beast or refer to the Ruler of Hell in Japanese mythology.
- No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: His first 'fight' with X largely consists of Zaigorg throwing X around like a ragdoll and beating the stuffing out of him.
- No-Sell: Does this to more or less everything that's not the Beta Spark Armor. Most pronounced with his first fight were all of X's attacks that land fail to so much as make him flinch.
- Our Demons Are Different: Word of God is that the creature originated from Hell itself, and its deign is intended to invoke Japanese concepts of Hell.
- Its horns are those of an oni, while its Right Hand of Doom is meant to invoke the kanabo, a spiked club frequently used by oni.
- The spikes on its back recall the mountains of knives the damned are forced to climb and be impaled on, while its mouth is reminiscent of Blood Pond Hell (one of the Hells of Beppu).
- Its tail is based on the saws that demons use to torture the damned, while its multiple eyes reference Avici Hell, in which the worst of the damned are tortured by a multi-eyed demon.
- Punched Across the Room: His first attack on X is hitting him with his mace hand hard enough to send him flying into a mountain.
- Punch! Punch! Punch! Uh Oh...: X lays into him at the start of their fight...and Zaigorg hardly even reacts, let alone flinches before proceeding to beat the stuffing out of X.
- Right Hand of Doom: Possesses a spiked mace in place of its right hand.
- Sadist: Zaigorg is laughs his head off at every act of cruelty and evil he commits.
- Satanic Archetype: His subtitle is Devil Beast, and in Japanese specifically refers to Enma, the mythological ruler of Hell. He's also a walking collection of demon and Hell references. He explicitly came from Hell and desires to bring about Hell on Earth.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: Was imprisoned in an ancient Barraj temple centuries ago until a treasure hunter took the thing keeping him sealed away thinking it was a priceless artifact and accidentally set him free.
- Spike Shooter: Able to fire the spines from its back like bolts. It can also sprout and fire two blades from its shoulder as missiles. They can also grow into Gorg Monsters as needed.
- Tail Slap: Even deadlier, thanks to its spiked tail.
- A Villain Named "Z__rg": Zaigorg. Sounds pretty menacing even before audiences can see how he looks like.
- Worf Barrage: Cyber Gomora and XIO hit him with a massive onslaught of the strongest attacks they've got and it doesn't even slow him down.
