List of The Ultraman characters

This is a character list for the 1979 anime The Ultraman, a joint collaboration of Tsuburaya Production's Ultra Series with the anime studio Sunrise. In contrast to the Showa Era Ultra Series (from Ultra Q to Ultraman Leo), The Ultraman took place in an alternate universe wherein the main Ultra Joneus was the first to arrive on Earth, as well as his point of origin not being Land of Light in M78, but rather the Ultra Planet U40.

Earth Self-Defense Army[]

The Earth Self-Defense Army (地球防衛軍, Chikyū Bōei-gun) is a United Nations organization established for the purpose of Earth's defense, space development and observations around the world. There are bases located in the United States, Europe, Africa, and the Far East. Each branch had its own group of Science Guard (科学警備隊, Kagaku Keibitai, short for SG), an elite squad of soldiers and scientists formed in the wake of mysterious phenomenon across the globe.

Science Guard (SG)[]

The series focuses mainly on the Far East branch of Science Guard; the Earth Self-Defense Army members lead by captain Akiyama, who later on relinquished his position to Gondō in episode 28. In the event of Heller Army's full-scale invasion on Earth, the Science Guard disobey orders from Earth and joined the U40 Fleet to attack the Titan Base and made their invasion on the Heller City of U40. During their raid on the main tower, they were captured and almost executed by Mac Datar before Joneus interfered while Pig released them from their restrains. With the victory of the U40 Fleet over the war, the Science Guard were sent back to Earth and bid farewell to Joneus and Amia months later.

He had a great intuition towards a monster's movements, such as being able to predict Gamiba's presence on Maroi Island after knowing such place had no record of earthquake by natural means but is also fearful of supernatural existence (such as the rumored sightings of Yuki-onna).

In episode 44, the Ultria was shown capable of splitting into two different components, Alpha and Beta respectively.

Ultra People[]

In The Ultraman, the Ultra People (ウルトラ人, Urutora-jin) are human-like residents of Planet Ultra U40 (ウルトラの星U40 (ユーフォーティー), Urutora no Hoshi Yū Fōtī), demonstrating a similar culture to Ancient Greece, wearing garments such as the Himation and Toga. Despite their initially primitive appearance, they possess advance science and technology, with an underground city which was hidden beneath the planet's surface.

A long time ago, the citizens of U40 were human-like beings who wished to expand their race further to the outer space. Earth was one of the stars they visited and established the very first human civilization with Neanderthals. To combat against the evil forces in space, they created the Ultra Mind (ウルトラマインド, Urutora Maindo) and became Ultra Humanoids (ウルトラヒューマノイド, Urutora Hyūmanoido). They would soon discard the Ultra Mind within a black hole to prevent any misuse from outside forces.

When the Earth was plagued by mysterious phenomenon, the Ultras sent their message and strongest warrior Joneus to guard the planet from monster attacks. One of these nefarious forces, named Badel Tribe invaded U40 as their Spirit Parasites were acting on Earth. With Joneus still in recuperation, Elek, Loto and the other five warriors would fight the invading forces while Hikari and Amia tried to invade the Badel Star. A fully healed Joneus participated in the battle again to save his kind while the other seven warriors contain the stolen Ultra Mind. However, not long after that, the Heller Army, a renegade faction of the Ultra People, invaded the U40 in retaliation of their banishment in the past. The surviving Ultra People were led by Elek and Loto as U Fleet (U艦隊, Yū Kantai) the Science Guard joined them in a campaign to reclaim U40.^[9] With the Heller Army defeated and Heller killed, U40 citizens that previously scattered in outer space returned to their home world and celebrated Joneus' victory.

Although still in human size, 8 chosen warriors of U40 have Star Symbols (スターシンボル, Sutā Shinboru) on their chest allowing them to change their sizes into giants and travel to any planets in short distances and measure their energy levels. As the Earth's atmosphere quickly drains their energies, they can only sustain their giant forms for 4 minutes as the Star Symbol changes color from blue to yellow, and finally to red after 30 seconds. When bonded with an Earthling or to transform into giant sizes, they used the Beam Flasher (ビームフラッシャー, Bīmu Furasshā), a star-like pendant by placing it on their forehead to transform. Starting from episode 20, later appearances had the transformation style added with the phrase "Ultra Change!" (ウルトラチェンジ!, Urutora Chenji!). According to Elek and Loto, regular people of U40 can submit themselves in a deactivated state by stopping their body functions to survive for a longer period, though this required the Ultra Mind to reverse the process altogether.

The recently healed Joneus bonded with Hikari once more to reverse the tide of the battle, therefore saving both their planets. During the U40's Fleet's raid on Heller City, Joneus separated with Hikari to join his brethren in space in fighting against Heller Army's combat ships. Once his deed was done, he would fuse with the youth in one final time to save the Science Guard and Amia. Once peace has returned to Earth, Joneus revealed his human form to Hikari as he and Amia stayed on Earth to help repair the damages done from the ensuing war. Months later, the two bid farewell to the Science Guard but promised to return should Earth's safety be threatened again.

Since Joneus was the initial sole Ultraman in the series, he was only named as "Ultraman" from Pig's analysis and is referred to this by the Earthlings as well. Starting from episode 20, his original name Joneus was revealed and Hikari since then started calling his Ultraman partner by his true name. Although his height is averagely 70 meters like his kind, Joneus can shift his size freely into microscopic and even enlarging to 120 meters after absorbing enough sunlight.^[12] His favored attack is Planium Ray (プラニウム光線, Puraniumu Kōsen), which can be presented in two versions; A Type (shooting a ball of light)^[13] or B Type (conventional hand beams like M78 Ultramen).^[14]
