!!Ultra People
A race of intelligent HumanAliens from the Planet U40, who's culture is similar to the Ancient Greece, down to wearing Himation and Toga. A long time ago, the U40 residents were advanced 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 any extraterrestrial threats that harm the safety of their planet, they created the Ultra Mind energy source that transform them into Ultra Warriors, now calling themselves as Ultra Humanoids.
When the Earth was plagued by mysterious phenomenon, the Ultras sent their message and strongest warrior Joneus to guard the planet from monster attacks.
[[folder:As a whole]]
!!!Background U40 people are voiced by: Creator/TakeshiAono, Creator/NorioWakamoto
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Subverted. The Ultras of U40 are originally humans and their Ultra forms are their combat forms, but as stated by Amia, both are equally their true forms. They only choose to assume as humans during peace time and when communicating with mankind.
* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: Planetary example; the U40 Ultras were banished from their own home planet when Heller and his armies invaded it as revenge for their initial banishment during 10,000 years prior to the series.
* AlternateUniverse: Or rather, alternate planet. These Ultras came from Planet U40, making them as departures from the real life Ultras as neither from the Land of Light nor [[Series/UltramanLeo Planet L77]].
* BeenThereShapedHistory: The people of U40 are largely responsible for the modernization of mankind after coming in contact with the Neanderthals in the distant past. Because of this, mankind itself are implied to be descendants to the people of U40.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: The residents of U40 shouted "Ultra Change"! prior to transforming into their Ultra forms, although this only applied to those with the Star Symbols.
* HumanAliens: The U40 Ultras are originally this, and they are even implied to be mankind's descendants due to their established contact with Neanderthals in the distant past. Although obtaining the ability to transform into Ultra, their human forms are still their true forms at that.
* LaResistance: The remaining U40 Ultras banded together to form a resistance team when their home world were taken over by Heller's army. The Science Guard Party join them in order to put Heller's invasion on Earth to a definitive end.
* LightIsGood: In addition to red, the U40 race also has the white coloration to their Ultraman forms. When Joneus gets his own live action suit, the color white was replaced with Land of Light Ultra's silver.
* MassSuperEmpoweringEvent: Predating even the Land of Light in ''Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends'', the U40 people are said to originally being human like, but they receive their Ultraman forms under the exposure to the Ultra Mind, an artificial energy source created to counter invaders on their home planet. Unlike their Land of Light counterparts, Amia outright proclaims that both their human and Ultra forms are equally original forms altogether.
* RedIsHeroic: The entire Ultras of U40 are colored red and white, and are also heroics as long as they maintain their Ultraman forms.
* ReusedCharacterDesign: Other appearing U40 people in their Ultra forms are portrayed as simpler designs of Joneus' appearance.
* {{Sizeshifter}}: Averted. Unlike the Land of Light Ultras, the U40 Ultras are normally human-sized, but the Star Symbol used by the 8 chosen warriors allow them to grow into giant proportions. As Joneus demonstrated, by absorbing enough sunlight, he can grow to the maximum height of 120 meters.
* TransformationTrinket: The entirety of U40 Ultras transform via the use of Beam Flasher, a star-like pendant by placing it on their foreheads. Some of them can naturally warp themselves in their Ultra forms.
* UndergroundCity: The U40 people resides in a massive and civilized underground city, while the ground surface appear as an ancient Rome-like landscape.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: The elders of U40 said this, including that life and death is a normal cycle when Heller proposes the Ultra Mind's power to be used with immortality.

!!Ultraman Joneus
!!!Voiced by: Masato Ibu (Japanese); Tom Wyner (English)
[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/joe_data.png]]

The main Ultra of this anime series, Joneus is the leader of the great 8 Ultra Warriors and the strongest among his race. He was sent to Earth by the Great Sage to defend Earth from monster and alien attacks while bonding himself to Choichiro Hikari, a young man who was on his trip back to Earth.
----
* ArtEvolution: In the series, Joneus' color is mainly red and white as a contrast to the M78 universe Ultras' silver. When he guest appeared in the 1979 live action film ''Ultraman: Great Monster Decisive Battle'', Joneus was adapted into a suit, where his white color was render silver to be in line with the M78 Ultras.
* TheChooserOfTheOne: He chooses Hikari as his human host to operate on Earth. Out of all people, Hikari is due to his selflessness act that only Joneus witnessed at some point prior to the series.
* TheChosenOne: Joneus, Elek, Loto and other great 5 were chosen by the Great Sage as 8 warriors tasked in fighting for the peace of the universe, while Joneus was the only one to be sent down to Earth to defend mankind.
* CombinationAttack: Joneus can combine his beam with the other 7 great warriors, used once to destroy the Baladon's saucer during their escape from Earth.
* CriticalAnnoyance: Like the Land of Light Ultras, Joneus' Star Symbol (his equivalent of Color Timer) measures him time limit on Earth for only 4 minutes. Its original color is green, and when its low in energy, it briefly changes to yellow before blinking in red color.
* DisneyDeath: Both him and Hikari were killed by Bedorun in episode 19, forcing Elek to bring their body to U40 for revival and recuperation.
* FinishingMove: Planium Beam. He can either perform it in a), shooting a ball of light, or b), firing a standard beam attack.
* ForeheadBeam: Astro Spot, perhaps as a nod to Ultraseven's Emerium Ray.
* HealingHands: Through Hikari, Joneus can donate a portion of his energy to heal another Ultra, in the case of episode 31, his little sister, Amia. Unfortunately doing so drained a lot of energy, and Joneus barely had enough energy left to fight by the time he transformed.
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Like all U40 Ultras, Joneus has a human form, but the first glimpse we ever get was shrouded in episode 21. He chooses to do so to keep his bond with Hikari, only revealing it once they are properly severed. He reveals his form in the very final episode when Heller was defeated once and for all, and at one point staying on Earth for a while to watch over mankind rebuilding their civilizations after the Heller Army's intense attack.
* InSeriesNickname: According to Joneus in episode 21, he is also called as J (Joe/Jo) by his people, which is a short for his real name.
* IShallReturn: After temporarily staying on Earth to oversee mankind's reconsruction of their civilizations, Joneus bids farewell to Hikari and the Science Guard Party, swearing that he will return at the time Earth needs him again, and perhaps, taking in a new human host if that is the case.
* MightyGlacier: Is the strongest of the warriors of U40 and has a muscular body built, both in human form and even as an Ultra.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Prior to episode 20, he is only called as "Ultraman" by humankind, as they have no idea to who he is (hence the series is called as ''The Ultraman''). Joneus reveals it in episode 21, and even insisted to use mankind's name, thus combining into "Ultraman Joneus".
* SharingABody: An interesting case is that Hikari was never in a life-threatening situation that forced Joneus to combine with him. Joneus pick the young man because of his selflessness and sincerity to protect others.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is written as Joneus in official romanizations, but pronounced as "Jonias".
* WorldsStrongestMan: Joneus is the strongest warrior that U40 ever had, hence why he was sent to Earth to protect its people.

Alongside Loto and the other great 5, Elek is also one of the great 8 warriors chosen by the Great Sage as warriors of U40.

* DubNameChange: Maral in the English dub.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Joneus was the only one with a Star Symbol that allows him to grow in size and operate in another universe, something that Elek, Loto and the other great 5 lacked despite their similar ability to grow large. They later receive their Star Symbol as of episode 29.

A group of elite staffs in the Earth Self-Defense Army, all of them handpicked by Akiyama to form a team capable of fighting against monster attacks in the 21st century. Akiyama was transferred to the USA branch of monster observation, and his position as a leader was taken over by Daisuke Gondo.
During the Heller Empire's invasion, the Science Guard Party decided to take full involvement in the U40 Ultras by giving into their cooperation to destroy Heller's army and liberate their home planet altogether.
[[folder:As a whole]]
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Be it captain Akiyama, captain Gondo or Tobe as an interim captain, all three of them participate in the frontlines of fighting monsters while still being capable leaders.
* BadassCrew: Invoked. Akiyama hires all team members for being the ace in their respective fields, amassing them into a team capable of fighting against monster attacks.
* CoolCar: The Shooter ASS is a six-wheeled car with butterfly doors.
* CoolGun: Each members wield a custom gun as their main weapon.
* CoolPlane:
** The Super Mardock is a massive aircraft developed by Tobe for the Earth Self-Defense Army's use, but Akiyama demanded it for his team's use since they are specifically a group of elite soldiers tasked in fighting monsters. Although capable of fighting monsters, its usually the team's mobile base if they were in need of fighting in areas outside Japan.
** Smaller jets are usually Bardy and Beatamy to go against enemies without dragging the entire Super Mardock into combat.
* CoolStarship: The Science Guard Party received the U40 battleship Ultria from Amia, replacing their destroyed Super Mardock from episode 38 and so on.
* DrillTank: The Passerger and its successor, Passerger 2.
* FireForgedFriends: At the start of the series, the team members were simply doing their jobs to defend mankind from monster attacks, but as the story goes on, they get to know each other a lot more and slowly form into a team of TrueCompanions.
* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Captain Akiyama, and later Captain Gondo when Akiyama was PutOnABus.
** TheHero: Choichiro Hikari, aka the human host of Ultraman Joneus.
** TheChick: Mutsumi Hoshikawa.
** TheBigGuy: Marume, the team sniper.
** TheSmartGuy: Tobe, the team's inventor.
** RobotBuddy: Pig, the team's analyzer. In one occasion, he can also operate as a pilot, thus making him a nominal SixthRanger. Uruk is an addition to this position.
** TeamPet: Monki, well [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a little monkey]].
* MeaningfulName: In Japanese, their name is pronounced as Kagaku Keibitai, a portmanteau of '''Kagaku''' Tokusotai (SSSP in ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'') and Urutora '''Keibitai''' (Ultra Garrison from ''Series/{{Ultraseven}}'').
* MythologyGag:
** As seen above, their names are combinations of Japanese pronunciations of SSSP and Ultra Garrison.
** The team itself wears a pair of uniforms colored light blue/grey, like the ones seen in Ultra Garrison.
** As in the case of ''Series/ReturnOfUltraman'', the old captain was PutOnABus and a new one took his place. Both original team members also had trouble adjusting to him, but they eventually get along well in later episodes.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: When Heller unleashed an all out invasion army towards Earth, the Science Guard Party decided to go to Jupiter to destroy the Heller army's base, but the Self-Defense Army disagreed with them. Lead by Gondo, the team decided to refuse their orders anyway and helped the U40 Ultras to bring their fight to Heller.

The show's main protagonist, a young officer from the space station EGG 3 who was scouted by Akiyama to join the Science Guard Party. Midway in his return to Earth, he was bonded to Joneus and had since using the Ultra's power to defend Earth.
----
* BackFromTheDead: Hikari and Joneus were temporarily died by the hands of Bedorun in episode 19. Elek has to fetch them to Planet U40 to revive the two in the next episode.
* ChickMagnet: He has a lot of ShipTease moments going on with [[TheSmurfettePrinciple Mutsumi]], but he also garner a lot of attention from female characters. Best exampled with the bartender-like worker Yuriko Nojima, Joneus' little sister [[FlorenceNightingaleEffect Amia]] and an alien princess in episode 24.
* TheChosenOne: Joneus said that he specifically choses Hikari as his host. The reason is that he had long been on Earth's Solar System, witnessing Hikari's exploits in his space station after selflessly killing a space insect munching through the wires. This act of bravery was witnessed by Joneus alone, coupled with Hikari putting the safety of the station above his own importance (he was low on oxygen at that time) and keeping this as a secret to himself instead of being a GloryHound about it.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Despite his declining oxygen rate, Hikari chooses to save an entire space station from a munching space insect over his own oxygen reserves. He survived, but the event was why Joneus had his eyes on the young man in the first place.
* DubNameChange: Scotty Harrison in the English dub.
* TheHero: As the protagonist of the series and shares it with Joneus.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: After being healed in Planet U40 and helped thwarting the Badel army, Hikari was returned to Earth with his memories at Joneus' home planet being erased. This was done completely to ensure that U40's existence remains a secret to mankind. It doesn't last long due to Amia's presence on Earth, as well as the Heller Army's invasion forces Hikari and the Science Guard Party to give a full participation in assisting the U40's LaResistance team.
* MeaningfulName: His family name is Hikari (Japanese for light), alluding to the fact that he is bonded to Joneus. If that wasn't obvious enough, Ultras are usually the embodiment of light.
* RealityEnsues: Unlike the previous Ultra hosts, Hikari's constant absence whenever Joneus appears arose suspicion among his teammates. Marume was the first person to over get so close to expose Hikari early on in the series. In the last four final episodes, the entire team manages to catch on over what's actually happening and wasn't entirely surprised when Hikari's relation to Joneus was exposed.
* SharingABody: Hikari is symbiotically attached to Joneus, who requires a human partner to operate on Earth while maintaining his cover. Unlike [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Hayata]], [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Go]], [[Series/UltramanAce Hokuto]] or [[Series/UltramanTaro Kotaro]], Hikari never ended up in a life threatening situation for Joneus to interfere.
* TransformationTrinket: The Beam Flasher transform Hikari into Joneus by placing it onto his forehead, later on Joneus' body materializes over him. Starting from episode 21, he starts to shout "Ultra Change!" by copying said phrase from the rest of the U40 Ultras.

* DubNameChange: General Steel in the English dub.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Boisterous and a CoolBigBro presence aside, even Gondo can spare a moment of being deathly afraid of supernatural entities.
* SunglassesAtNight: Usually seen wearing one in missions, even if it happens during the night.
* SureLetsGoWithThat: He was initially mistaken to be a common member by the scientist Henry Nishiki. Instead of correcting the senile professor, Gondo seems to enjoy going along with the charade, much to his team members' amusement.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Is afraid of supernatural entities (such as Yuki Onna), although he hides it well from his team members. Fortunately for him, the Yuki Onna in question is an alien with similar lookalike who was [[GoodAllAlong reaching for Joneus' help]].

* {{Acrofatic}}: Despite his overweight appearance, Marume is still an energetic and trained soldier on his own right.
* TheBigGuy: Pun aside, he's more capable of using heavy artillery to destroy monsters in one shot. In fact aside from Joneus, he killed quite a few monsters with his own hands.
* {{Expy}}: Taking in both the roles of [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Arashi]] and [[Series/{{Ultraseven}} Furuhashi]] into a single character. In that, they are all comic relief characters, sharpshooters and handlers of long range artillery.
* DubNameChange: Lieutenant Marconi in the English dub.
* FatBestFriend: To the Science Guard Party.
* FriendToAllChildren: As seen in episode 3 when teaching a young boy named Takashi the responsibility of a pet owner. Even moreso in episode 22 when he builds a device to send a young monster back to its original dimension after getting lost in the human world.
* GenreSavvy: He is well aware of Hikari's constant absence in monster attacks and sometimes came close to put two and two together that he and Joneus are the same person, something that is absent in past live action Ultra Series instalments.
* GreenEyedMonster: He is envious of Hikari getting a lot of attention by other girls, even his own friend (a guy) when they planned to visit his village.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite his occasional self-centered moments, Marume is still a good person at heart. In episode 2, he outright teaches a young boy who nursed a monster about the actual responsibility of owning a pet. When he saw a fake Joneus (mistaken for the real one) fighting Gilos in episode 41, he spare a minute to thank him for his work.
* MeaningfulName: Marume, having the word "Maru" as a Japanese fat for being fat.
* ShipperOnDeck: Seeing a depressed Mutsumi in episode 24 (actually an alien princess borrowing her likeness), Marume remarks that going on a date with Hikari would cheer her up. [[CharacterDevelopment This is a far cry for someone who locked Hikari into his changing room just to go on a mission with Mutsumi in episode 2]].
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Japanese example; the Kanji of his first name, Kei/æ¬, is also read as "Takashi". His last name is the only one to be mentioned in the series, but supplementary materials such as a Karuta card pronounced it as "Kei".
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Tobe, making a FatAndSkinny duo.
* TheUnchosenOne: He wasn't really one of Akiyama's chosen candidates for the Science Guard Party, begging said captain for membership. While Akiyama reluctantly allow him to get in, Marume proves himself a lot of times that he is as competent as other team members by being the top marksman of the team.

* LastOfItsKind: Uruk was the only one of its unit to be activated despite the rest of them were visible in the Ultria ship itself. Considering that Ultria was destroyed upon entry in Planet U40, Uruk may be the only one to ever made it out, unless the Defense Army had thought of extracting Uruk's robot companions from Ultria beforehand.
* RobotBuddy: It was originally one of the many supporting robots in the Ultria. Only one unit was activated by Pig and since then it serve the Science Guard Party.

!!Heller Empire
The main antagonist in the final arc of ''The Ultraman'', from episode 37 to episode 50. Lead by the namesake Heller, it was a group of 3,000 Ultra People of U40 who follow Heller's ideals of abandoning their Ultra forms over immortality. Due to the perverted nature of this, they were banished to the depths of the Dark Nebula for their actions. They returned 10,000 years later with an amassed army fleet, invading their original home planet as revenge for their initial banishment while seeking to expand their universal conquest to even the planet Earth due to Joneus' presence on it.
[[folder:As a whole]]
* AllThereInTheManual: The U40 people with Ultra forms are called as Ultra Humanoid. Although not mentioned in the series, the 2013 Tsuburaya encyclopedia stated that Heller and the rest of his followers who abandon their Ultraman forms are called as Anti-Ultra Humanoid.
* BigBadEnsemble: You would think that a total of 3,000+ banished people of U40 would form this kind of army, right? Apparently the Heller Army even conscripted a number of alien races into their ranks and tricked a few innocent aliens to fight for their cause.
* CoolStarship: Being former U40 citizens, the Heller Army moves about and commence their attacks by using combat warships.
* EvilCounterpart: A self-inflicted example, the Heller Army are originally U40 citizen themselves, thus making it a case of the U40 Ultras fighting their former comrades (and possibly their flesh and blood) to reclaim their planet and liberate the entire universe from Heller's grip.
* FallenHero: The members of Heller Empire were originally U40 citizens who share their believes with Heller regarding immortality. It only gets messier from that point that it eventually became a full-scale civil war 10,000 years later.
* {{Revenge}}: The army invaded Planet U40 as a retribution for being banished into the dark nebula in 10,000 years prior to the series.

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heller.jpg]]
The main antagonist of ''The Ultraman'' since episode 37 and the de facto leader of Heller Empire and its armies. After being banished into the dark nebula with his 3,000 supporters, Heller sworn to have his revenge by building his empire. After invading his former home planet, Heller decided to expand his conquest to the entire galaxy by invading countless planets, with Earth as his next target due to Joneus' presence over there.
----
* AmbitionIsEvil: His initial goal was to only invade Planet U40 as a revenge, but he expanded his conquest to conquer other innocent alien planets and forcefully conscript some of the alien forces under his leadership.
* BigBad: He is the de facto ruler of Heller Empire and is effectively the major villain in the series.
* BlondesAreEvil: His hair color is yellow like Amia and Loto, but is actually an evil dictator and conqueror.
* DarkIsEvil: His black uniform only serves to complement his presence as a tyrant ruler.
* DirtyCoward: Has the gall to ditch his army the instant Joneus has him cornered.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: He was killed after being left out in his Heller City as it is falling and crashing to the ground.
* EvilIsPetty: Banishing him and his 3,000 followers would result in him conquering their former homeworld back after 10,000 years.
* EvilOldFolks: He is probably at least a few years older than Joneus with the added 10,000 years of his banishment, still energetic enough to become a galactic conqueror.
* FallenHero: Although having long discarded his Ultra Humanoid form, Heller is still considered an evil Ultra on his own right, making him a progrenitor to the real evil Ultras like [[Series/UltramanTiga Evil Tiga]] and so on.
* FatalFlaw: Overconfidence. He trapped the Great Sage into a data disk and exploited the Ultra Mind as a power source to his turret while gloating that he has the advantage in the battle. What he fails to realize is that Joneus and the other great 7 Ultras were proven stronger beyond his defenses and his own forces many times. When Joneus managed to attack his entire Heller City, it signals Heller into making an exit, even if it means abandoning his own supporters.
* FauxAffablyEvil: At first glance he looked like a normally composed dictator, but when things gone south, he was quick to drop this facade.
* GalacticConqueror: His current position in the Heller Army, predating even the currently famous [[Franchise/UltramanZero Ultraman Belial]].
* ImmortalityImmorality: For someone who claims to shed his Ultraman form over immortality, Heller has degraded himself into a tyrannical ruler and conqueror.
* ItsAllAboutMe: The entire Heller Empire exist to only satisfy Heller alone. He even orders the attack on Earth and other planets despite their zero involvement in his banishment, all for the sake to throw his tantrum over being banished from his home world prior.
* KnightOfCerebus: The first half of the anime lacked a major antagonist, but by the second half and his army making their debut in episode 37 fits the mold as a more serious threat Hikari and Joneus face.
* LackOfEmpathy: He unleashes a full scale attack on Earth after fearing that mankind would team up with the U40 Ultras to stop him, killing as many innocents along the way. He even extends this callousness to his own soldiers, treating them as cannon fodder just to satiate his ego.
* NamesToRunAwayFromVeryFast: His name is Heller, as in he and his army bring a metaphorical "hell" in their conquests.
* {{Narcissist}}: His desire for immortality makes him a malignant example. On top of that, he has a clear LackOfEmpathy and sees his own army as his expendable and will gladly abandon them when he's out of options.
* NeverMyFault: Heller blames the entire U40 population for his exile. Not surprising, he invaded the planet in retribution and desire for power and conquest, and then takes his frustration further towards Earth.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: He simply commands his armies far away from U40 while Royger supervises the attack on Earth.
* TheSociopath: Heller is defined with the following traits of a classic sociopath: [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitious]], [[DrunkWithPower power-hungry]], lack of shame, [[LackOfEmpathy uncaring for the suffering of others]] other than [[ItsAllAboutMe his own]] and won't [[TheUnfettered stop at nothing]] until he got what he desired.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is written as Heller, but is pronounced as Hell'''a'''r.
* TheUnfought: In truth, Heller was never actually a competent fighter, only ordering the rest of his followers to do the deed and was killed when his ejected city crashed and burn on the ground.
* VillainExitStageLeft: He attempts to escape when his entire city is in shambles, but Joneus isn't so merciful in letting him out.

----
* AffablyEvil: He retains all of his composures in all of his appearances and even shows no sign of fear when facing death.
* TheDragon: To Heller.
* EvilOldFolks: Looks the part of it, especially with his gray hair. Do note that at that time, his voice actor Ryuzaburo Otomo is still in his late 20's.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: He purposely stayed behind in the ruined Titan base while gloating to Joneus that Amia was kidnapped and transported to Heller. All while being aware that his death is ahead and he has none the worse for fear.
* ManipulativeBastard: He manipulates innocent aliens to do the Heller Army's deeds to, best shown tricking an alien boy and an alien hunter into fighting Joneus.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His name is also pronounced in Japanese in the same way as the Lloighor creature from the Cthulhu mythos.
* NotSoAboveItAll: He would take the time to caress Monki instead of immediately killing it, only doing so when the little monkey try to escape.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is written as Royger, but pronounced as Royg'''a'''r.
* WouldHurtAChild: As if manipulating a young alien into having his monster attacking Joneus, Royger soon kidnapped the boy's monster into a brainwashed servant and had his servants attempted to shoot the boy defenseless.

A race of intelligent HumanAliens from the Planet U40, who's culture is similar to the Ancient Greece, down to wearing Himation and Toga. A long time ago, the U40 residents were advanced 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 any extraterrestrial threats that harm the safety of their planet, they created the Ultra Mind energy source that transform them into Ultra Warriors, now calling themselves as Ultra Humanoids.
When the Earth was plagued by mysterious phenomenon, the Ultras sent their message and strongest warrior Joneus to guard the planet from monster attacks.
[[folder:As a whole]]
!!!Background U40 people are voiced by: Creator/TakeshiAono, Creator/NorioWakamoto
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Subverted. The Ultras of U40 are originally humans and their Ultra forms are their combat forms, but as stated by Amia, both are equally their true forms. They only choose to assume as humans during peace time and when communicating with mankind.
* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: Planetary example; the U40 Ultras were banished from their own home planet when Heller and his armies invaded it as revenge for their initial banishment during 10,000 years prior to the series.
* AlternateUniverse: Or rather, alternate planet. These Ultras came from Planet U40, making them as departures from the real life Ultras as neither from the Land of Light nor [[Series/UltramanLeo Planet L77]].
* BeenThereShapedHistory: The people of U40 are largely responsible for the modernization of mankind after coming in contact with the Neanderthals in the distant past. Because of this, mankind itself are implied to be descendants to the people of U40.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: The residents of U40 shouted "Ultra Change"! prior to transforming into their Ultra forms, although this only applied to those with the Star Symbols.
* HumanAliens: The U40 Ultras are originally this, and they are even implied to be mankind's descendants due to their established contact with Neanderthals in the distant past. Although obtaining the ability to transform into Ultra, their human forms are still their true forms at that.
* LaResistance: The remaining U40 Ultras banded together to form a resistance team when their home world were taken over by Heller's army. The Science Guard Party join them in order to put Heller's invasion on Earth to a definitive end.
* LightIsGood: In addition to red, the U40 race also has the white coloration to their Ultraman forms. When Joneus gets his own live action suit, the color white was replaced with Land of Light Ultra's silver.
* MassSuperEmpoweringEvent: Predating even the Land of Light in ''Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends'', the U40 people are said to originally being human like, but they receive their Ultraman forms under the exposure to the Ultra Mind, an artificial energy source created to counter invaders on their home planet. Unlike their Land of Light counterparts, Amia outright proclaims that both their human and Ultra forms are equally original forms altogether.
* RedIsHeroic: The entire Ultras of U40 are colored red and white, and are also heroics as long as they maintain their Ultraman forms.
* ReusedCharacterDesign: Other appearing U40 people in their Ultra forms are portrayed as simpler designs of Joneus' appearance.
* {{Sizeshifter}}: Averted. Unlike the Land of Light Ultras, the U40 Ultras are normally human-sized, but the Star Symbol used by the 8 chosen warriors allow them to grow into giant proportions. As Joneus demonstrated, by absorbing enough sunlight, he can grow to the maximum height of 120 meters.
* TransformationTrinket: The entirety of U40 Ultras transform via the use of Beam Flasher, a star-like pendant by placing it on their foreheads. Some of them can naturally warp themselves in their Ultra forms.
* UndergroundCity: The U40 people resides in a massive and civilized underground city, while the ground surface appear as an ancient Rome-like landscape.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: The elders of U40 said this, including that life and death is a normal cycle when Heller proposes the Ultra Mind's power to be used with immortality.

The main Ultra of this anime series, Joneus is the leader of the great 8 Ultra Warriors and the strongest among his race. He was sent to Earth by the Great Sage to defend Earth from monster and alien attacks while bonding himself to Choichiro Hikari, a young man who was on his trip back to Earth.
----
* ArtEvolution: In the series, Joneus' color is mainly red and white as a contrast to the M78 universe Ultras' silver. When he guest appeared in the 1979 live action film ''Ultraman: Great Monster Decisive Battle'', Joneus was adapted into a suit, where his white color was render silver to be in line with the M78 Ultras.
* TheChooserOfTheOne: He chooses Hikari as his human host to operate on Earth. Out of all people, Hikari is due to his selflessness act that only Joneus witnessed at some point prior to the series.
* TheChosenOne: Joneus, Elek, Loto and other great 5 were chosen by the Great Sage as 8 warriors tasked in fighting for the peace of the universe, while Joneus was the only one to be sent down to Earth to defend mankind.
* CombinationAttack: Joneus can combine his beam with the other 7 great warriors, used once to destroy the Baladon's saucer during their escape from Earth.
* CriticalAnnoyance: Like the Land of Light Ultras, Joneus' Star Symbol (his equivalent of Color Timer) measures him time limit on Earth for only 4 minutes. Its original color is green, and when its low in energy, it briefly changes to yellow before blinking in red color.
* DisneyDeath: Both him and Hikari were killed by Bedorun in episode 19, forcing Elek to bring their body to U40 for revival and recuperation.
* FinishingMove: Planium Beam. He can either perform it in a), shooting a ball of light, or b), firing a standard beam attack.
* ForeheadBeam: Astro Spot, perhaps as a nod to Ultraseven's Emerium Ray.
* HealingHands: Through Hikari, Joneus can donate a portion of his energy to heal another Ultra, in the case of episode 31, his little sister, Amia. Unfortunately doing so drained a lot of energy, and Joneus barely had enough energy left to fight by the time he transformed.
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Like all U40 Ultras, Joneus has a human form, but the first glimpse we ever get was shrouded in episode 21. He chooses to do so to keep his bond with Hikari, only revealing it once they are properly severed. He reveals his form in the very final episode when Heller was defeated once and for all, and at one point staying on Earth for a while to watch over mankind rebuilding their civilizations after the Heller Army's intense attack.
* InSeriesNickname: According to Joneus in episode 21, he is also called as J (Joe/Jo) by his people, which is a short for his real name.
* IShallReturn: After temporarily staying on Earth to oversee mankind's reconsruction of their civilizations, Joneus bids farewell to Hikari and the Science Guard Party, swearing that he will return at the time Earth needs him again, and perhaps, taking in a new human host if that is the case.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Prior to episode 20, he is only called as "Ultraman" by humankind, as they have no idea to who he is (hence the series is called as ''The Ultraman''). Joneus reveals it in episode 21, and even insisted to use mankind's name, thus combining into "Ultraman Joneus".
* SharingABody: An interesting case is that Hikari was never in a life-threatening situation that forced Joneus to combine with him. Joneus pick the young man because of his selflessness and sincerity to protect others.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is written as Joneus in official romanizations, but pronounced as "Jonias".
* WorldsStrongestMan: Joneus is the strongest warrior that U40 ever had, hence why he was sent to Earth to protect its people.

A group of elite staffs in the Earth Self-Defense Army, all of them handpicked by Akiyama to form a team capable of fighting against monster attacks in the 21st century. Akiyama was transferred to the USA branch of monster observation, and his position as a leader was taken over by Daisuke Gondo.
During the Heller Empire's invasion, the Science Guard Party decided to take full involvement in the U40 Ultras by giving into their cooperation to destroy Heller's army and liberate their home planet altogether.
[[folder:As a whole]]
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Be it captain Akiyama, captain Gondo or Tobe as an interim captain, all three of them participate in the frontlines of fighting monsters while still being capable leaders.
* BadassCrew: Invoked. Akiyama hires all team members for being the ace in their respective fields, amassing them into a team capable of fighting against monster attacks.
* CoolCar: The Shooter ASS is a six-wheeled car with butterfly doors.
* CoolGun: Each members wield a custom gun as their main weapon.
* CoolPlane:
** The Super Mardock is a massive aircraft developed by Tobe for the Earth Self-Defense Army's use, but Akiyama demanded it for his team's use since they are specifically a group of elite soldiers tasked in fighting monsters. Although capable of fighting monsters, its usually the team's mobile base if they were in need of fighting in areas outside Japan.
** Smaller jets are usually Bardy and Beatamy to go against enemies without dragging the entire Super Mardock into combat.
* CoolStarship: The Science Guard Party received the U40 battleship Ultria from Amia, replacing their destroyed Super Mardock from episode 38 and so on.
* DrillTank: The Passerger and its successor, Passerger 2.
* FireForgedFriends: At the start of the series, the team members were simply doing their jobs to defend mankind from monster attacks, but as the story goes on, they get to know each other a lot more and slowly form into a team of TrueCompanions.
* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Captain Akiyama, and later Captain Gondo when Akiyama was PutOnABus.
** TheHero: Choichiro Hikari, aka the human host of Ultraman Joneus.
** TheChick: Mutsumi Hoshikawa.
** TheBigGuy: Marume, the team sniper.
** TheSmartGuy: Tobe, the team's inventor.
** RobotBuddy: Pig, the team's analyzer. In one occasion, he can also operate as a pilot, thus making him a nominal SixthRanger. Uruk is an addition to this position.
** TeamPet: Monki, well [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a little monkey]].
* MeaningfulName: In Japanese, their name is pronounced as Kagaku Keibitai, a portmanteau of '''Kagaku''' Tokusotai (SSSP in ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'') and Urutora '''Keibitai''' (Ultra Garrison from ''Series/{{Ultraseven}}'').
* MythologyGag:
** As seen above, their names are combinations of Japanese pronunciations of SSSP and Ultra Garrison.
** The team itself wears a pair of uniforms colored light blue/grey, like the ones seen in Ultra Garrison.
** As in the case of ''Series/ReturnOfUltraman'', the old captain was PutOnABus and a new one took his place. Both original team members also had trouble adjusting to him, but they eventually get along well in later episodes.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: When Heller unleashed an all out invasion army towards Earth, the Science Guard Party decided to go to Jupiter to destroy the Heller army's base, but the Self-Defense Army disagreed with them. Lead by Gondo, the team decided to refuse their orders anyway and helped the U40 Ultras to bring their fight to Heller.

The show's main protagonist, a young officer from the space station EGG 3 who was scouted by Akiyama to join the Science Guard Party. Midway in his return to Earth, he was bonded to Joneus and had since using the Ultra's power to defend Earth.
----
* BackFromTheDead: Hikari and Joneus were temporarily died by the hands of Bedorun in episode 19. Elek has to fetch them to Planet U40 to revive the two in the next episode.
* ChickMagnet: He has a lot of ShipTease moments going on with [[TheSmurfettePrinciple Mutsumi]], but he also garner a lot of attention from female characters. Best exampled with the bartender-like worker Yuriko Nojima, Joneus' little sister [[FlorenceNightingaleEffect Amia]] and an alien princess in episode 24.
* TheChosenOne: Joneus said that he specifically choses Hikari as his host. The reason is that he had long been on Earth's Solar System, witnessing Hikari's exploits in his space station after selflessly killing a space insect munching through the wires. This act of bravery was witnessed by Joneus alone, coupled with Hikari putting the safety of the station above his own importance (he was low on oxygen at that time) and keeping this as a secret to himself instead of being a GloryHound about it.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Despite his declining oxygen rate, Hikari chooses to save an entire space station from a munching space insect over his own oxygen reserves. He survived, but the event was why Joneus had his eyes on the young man in the first place.
* DubNameChange: Scotty Harrison in the English dub.
* TheHero: As the protagonist of the series and shares it with Joneus.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: After being healed in Planet U40 and helped thwarting the Badel army, Hikari was returned to Earth with his memories at Joneus' home planet being erased. This was done completely to ensure that U40's existence remains a secret to mankind. It doesn't last long due to Amia's presence on Earth, as well as the Heller Army's invasion forces Hikari and the Science Guard Party to give a full participation in assisting the U40's LaResistance team.
* MeaningfulName: His family name is Hikari (Japanese for light), alluding to the fact that he is bonded to Joneus. If that wasn't obvious enough, Ultras are usually the embodiment of light.
* RealityEnsues: Unlike the previous Ultra hosts, Hikari's constant absence whenever Joneus appears arose suspicion among his teammates. Marume was the first person to over get so close to expose Hikari early on in the series. In the last four final episodes, the entire team manages to catch on over what's actually happening and wasn't entirely surprised when Hikari's relation to Joneus was exposed.
* SharingABody: Hikari is symbiotically attached to Joneus, who requires a human partner to operate on Earth while maintaining his cover. Unlike [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Hayata]], [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Go]], [[Series/UltramanAce Hokuto]] or [[Series/UltramanTaro Kotaro]], Hikari never ended up in a life threatening situation for Joneus to interfere.
* TransformationTrinket: The Beam Flasher transform Hikari into Joneus by placing it onto his forehead, later on Joneus' body materializes over him. Starting from episode 21, he starts to shout "Ultra Change!" by copying said phrase from the rest of the U40 Ultras.

----

* DubNameChange: Captain Adams in the English dub.

* BigBrotherMentor: His boisterous, youthful and hot blooded approach makes him fits well with the similarly young members in the Science Guard Party, while still having the authority and intelligence of a captain.
* CoatCape: He hangs a coat over his own uniform.

* DrillSergeantNasty: He puts the team members in a vigorous training in his debut episode.
* DubNameChange: General Steel in the English dub.
* HiddenDepths: He is the first person to suspect Gamiba's presence in the Maroi Island in episode 33 when deducing that the island never had any record of earthquakes. This seems to indicate Gondo as someone with ecological knowledge.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Boisterous and a CoolBigBro presence aside, even Gondo can spare a moment of being deathly afraid of supernatural entities.
* SunglassesAtNight: Usually seen wearing one in missions, even if it happens during the night.
* SureLetsGoWithThat: He was initially mistaken to be a common member by the scientist Henry Nishiki. Instead of correcting the senile professor, Gondo seems to enjoy going along with the charade, much to his team members' amusement.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Is afraid of supernatural entities (such as Yuki Onna), although he hides it well from his team members. Fortunately for him, the Yuki Onna in question is an alien with similar lookalike who was [[GoodAllAlong reaching for Joneus' help]].

An overweight officer of the Earth Self-Defense Army. Upon overhearing that Akiyama is scouting for members of the Science Guard Party, he asked him over the membership and was reluctantly accepted. He is usually the source of the comic relief among the team members.
----
* {{Acrofatic}}: Despite his overweight appearance, Marume is still an energetic and trained soldier on his own right.
* TheBigGuy: Pun aside, he's more capable of using heavy artillery to destroy monsters in one shot. In fact aside from Joneus, he killed quite a few monsters with his own hands.
* {{Expy}}: Taking in both the roles of [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Arashi]] and [[Series/{{Ultraseven}} Furuhashi]] into a single character. In that, they are all comic relief characters, sharpshooters and handlers of long range artillery.

* FatBestFriend: To the Science Guard Party.
* FriendToAllChildren: As seen in episode 3 when teaching a young boy named Takashi the responsibility of a pet owner. Even moreso in episode 22 when he builds a device to send a young monster back to its original dimension after getting lost in the human world.
* GenreSavvy: He is well aware of Hikari's constant absence in monster attacks and sometimes came close to put two and two together that he and Joneus are the same person, something that is absent in past live action Ultra Series instalments.
* GreenEyedMonster: He is envious of Hikari getting a lot of attention by other girls, even his own friend (a guy) when they planned to visit his village.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite his occasional self-centered moments, Marume is still a good person at heart. In episode 2, he outright teaches a young boy who nursed a monster about the actual responsibility of owning a pet. When he saw a fake Joneus (mistaken for the real one) fighting Gilos in episode 41, he spare a minute to thank him for his work.
* MeaningfulName: Marume, having the word "Maru" as a Japanese fat for being fat.
* ShipperOnDeck: Seeing a depressed Mutsumi in episode 24 (actually an alien princess borrowing her likeness), Marume remarks that going on a date with Hikari would cheer her up. [[CharacterDevelopment This is a far cry for someone who locked Hikari into his changing room just to go on a mission with Mutsumi in episode 2]].
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Japanese example; the Kanji of his first name, Kei/æ¬, is also read as "Takashi". His last name is the only one to be mentioned in the series, but supplementary materials such as a Karuta card pronounced it as "Kei".
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Tobe, making a FatAndSkinny duo.
* TheUnchosenOne: He wasn't really one of Akiyama's chosen candidates for the Science Guard Party, begging said captain for membership. While Akiyama reluctantly allow him to get in, Marume proves himself a lot of times that he is as competent as other team members by being the top marksman of the team.

Of all the team members, she and Tobe are the only one to have ever met each others before, as they previously discussed over their interests in recent incidents that eventually lead to the appearance of the Kaiju worldwide.
----
* ActionGirl: Part of the reason for her active involvement in the team is to prove her worth to her male members.

* MsFanservice: She holds the dubious honor as the first ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' heroine with fanservice scene. Mainly episode 39 for an almost naked shower bath scene and episode 41 into a full blown bikini.

Considering that Ultria was destroyed upon entry in Planet U40, Uruk may be the only one to ever made it out, unless the Defense Army had thought of extracting Uruk's robot companions from Ultria beforehand.
* RobotBuddy: It was originally one of the many supporting robots in the Ultria. Only one unit was activated by Pig and since then it serve the Science Guard Party.
* RobotMaid: AmbiguousGender aside, Uruk's role in Ultria is to serve as a assistants of sorts in the ship instead of real development in the battlefield like Pig did. Unlike the rest of the deactivated kin, Uruk was allowed to serve its purpose with the Science Guard even outside the ship.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Uruk simply disappeared mid way into the final episode despite surviving the whole battle against Heller Empire.

!!Heller Empire
The main antagonist in the final arc of ''The Ultraman'', from episode 37 to episode 50. Lead by the namesake Heller, it was a group of 3,000 Ultra People of U40 who follow Heller's ideals of abandoning their Ultra forms over immortality. Due to the perverted nature of this, they were banished to the depths of the Dark Nebula for their actions. They returned 10,000 years later with an amassed army fleet, invading their original home planet as revenge for their initial banishment while seeking to expand their universal conquest to even the planet Earth due to Joneus' presence on it.
[[folder:As a whole]]
* AllThereInTheManual: The U40 people with Ultra forms are called as Ultra Humanoid. Although not mentioned in the series, the 2013 Tsuburaya encyclopedia stated that Heller and the rest of his followers who abandon their Ultraman forms are called as Anti-Ultra Humanoid.
* BigBadEnsemble: You would think that a total of 3,000+ banished people of U40 would form this kind of army, right? Apparently the Heller Army even conscripted a number of alien races into their ranks and tricked a few innocent aliens to fight for their cause.
* CoolStarship: Being former U40 citizens, the Heller Army moves about and commence their attacks by using combat warships.
* EvilCounterpart: A self-inflicted example, the Heller Army are originally U40 citizen themselves, thus making it a case of the U40 Ultras fighting their former comrades (and possibly their flesh and blood) to reclaim their planet and liberate the entire universe from Heller's grip.
* FallenHero: The members of Heller Empire were originally U40 citizens who share their believes with Heller regarding immortality. It only gets messier from that point that it eventually became a full-scale civil war 10,000 years later.
* {{Revenge}}: The army invaded Planet U40 as a retribution for being banished into the dark nebula in 10,000 years prior to the series.

!!Heller
!!!Voiced by Tamio Oki
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heller.jpg]]
The main antagonist of ''The Ultraman'' since episode 37 and the de facto leader of Heller Empire and its armies. After being banished into the dark nebula with his 3,000 supporters, Heller sworn to have his revenge by building his empire. After invading his former home planet, Heller decided to expand his conquest to the entire galaxy by invading countless planets, with Earth as his next target due to Joneus' presence over there.
----
* AmbitionIsEvil: His initial goal was to only invade Planet U40 as a revenge, but he expanded his conquest to conquer other innocent alien planets and forcefully conscript some of the alien forces under his leadership.
* BigBad: He is the de facto ruler of Heller Empire and is effectively the major villain in the series.
* BlondesAreEvil: His hair color is yellow like Amia and Loto, but is actually an evil dictator and conqueror.
* DarkIsEvil: His black uniform only serves to complement his presence as a tyrant ruler.
* DirtyCoward: Has the gall to ditch his army the instant Joneus has him cornered.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: He was killed after being left out in his Heller City as it is falling and crashing to the ground.
* EvilIsPetty: Banishing him and his 3,000 followers would result in him conquering their former homeworld back after 10,000 years.
* EvilOldFolks: He is probably at least a few years older than Joneus with the added 10,000 years of his banishment, still energetic enough to become a galactic conqueror.
* FallenHero: Although having long discarded his Ultra Humanoid form, Heller is still considered an evil Ultra on his own right, making him a progrenitor to the real evil Ultras like [[Series/UltramanTiga Evil Tiga]] and so on.
* FatalFlaw: Overconfidence. He trapped the Great Sage into a data disk and exploited the Ultra Mind as a power source to his turret while gloating that he has the advantage in the battle. What he fails to realize is that Joneus and the other great 7 Ultras were proven stronger beyond his defenses and his own forces many times. When Joneus managed to attack his entire Heller City, it signals Heller into making an exit, even if it means abandoning his own supporters.
* FauxAffablyEvil: At first glance he looked like a normally composed dictator, but when things gone south, he was quick to drop this facade.
* GalacticConqueror: His current position in the Heller Army, predating even the currently famous [[Franchise/UltramanZero Ultraman Belial]].
* ImmortalityImmorality: For someone who claims to shed his Ultraman form over immortality, Heller has degraded himself into a tyrannical ruler and conqueror.
* ItsAllAboutMe: The entire Heller Empire exist to only satisfy Heller alone. He even orders the attack on Earth and other planets despite their zero involvement in his banishment, all for the sake to throw his tantrum over being banished from his home world prior.
* KnightOfCerebus: The first half of the anime lacked a major antagonist, but by the second half and his army making their debut in episode 37 fits the mold as a more serious threat Hikari and Joneus face.
* LackOfEmpathy: He unleashes a full scale attack on Earth after fearing that mankind would team up with the U40 Ultras to stop him, killing as many innocents along the way. He even extends this callousness to his own soldiers, treating them as cannon fodder just to satiate his ego.
* NamesToRunAwayFromVeryFast: His name is Heller, as in he and his army bring a metaphorical "hell" in their conquests.
* {{Narcissist}}: His desire for immortality makes him a malignant example. On top of that, he has a clear LackOfEmpathy and sees his own army as his expendable and will gladly abandon them when he's out of options.
* NeverMyFault: Heller blames the entire U40 population for his exile. Not surprising, he invaded the planet in retribution and desire for power and conquest, and then takes his frustration further towards Earth.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: He simply commands his armies far away from U40 while Royger supervises the attack on Earth.
* TheSociopath: Heller is defined with the following traits of a classic sociopath: [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitious]], [[DrunkWithPower power-hungry]], lack of shame, [[LackOfEmpathy uncaring for the suffering of others]] other than [[ItsAllAboutMe his own]] and won't [[TheUnfettered stop at nothing]] until he got what he desired.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is written as Heller, but is pronounced as Hell'''a'''r.
* TheUnfought: In truth, Heller was never actually a competent fighter, only ordering the rest of his followers to do the deed and was killed when his ejected city crashed and burn on the ground.
* VillainExitStageLeft: He attempts to escape when his entire city is in shambles, but Joneus isn't so merciful in letting him out.

Heller's right hand man. He is the de jure leader of the army and oversees the invasion on Earth by setting up base Titan in one of Saturn's moons.
----
* AffablyEvil: He retains all of his composures in all of his appearances and even shows no sign of fear when facing death.
* TheDragon: To Heller.
* EvilOldFolks: Looks the part of it, especially with his gray hair. Do note that at that time, his voice actor Ryuzaburo Otomo is still in his late 20's.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: He purposely stayed behind in the ruined Titan base while gloating to Joneus that Amia was kidnapped and transported to Heller. All while being aware that his death is ahead and he has none the worse for fear.
* ManipulativeBastard: He manipulates innocent aliens to do the Heller Army's deeds to, best shown tricking an alien boy and an alien hunter into fighting Joneus.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His name is also pronounced in Japanese in the same way as the Lloighor creature from the Cthulhu mythos.
* NotSoAboveItAll: He would take the time to caress Monki instead of immediately killing it, only doing so when the little monkey try to escape.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is written as Royger, but pronounced as Royg'''a'''r.
* WouldHurtAChild: As if manipulating a young alien into having his monster attacking Joneus, Royger soon kidnapped the boy's monster into a brainwashed servant and had his servants attempted to shoot the boy defenseless.

!!Ultra People
A race of intelligent HumanAliens from the Planet U40, who's culture is similar''Anime/TheUltraman''. Due to the Ancient Greece, down to wearing Himation and Toga. A long time ago, the U40 residents were advanced beings who wished to expand their race further to the outer space. Earth was one increasing number of the stars they visited and established the very first human civilization with Neanderthals. To combat any extraterrestrial threats that harm the safety of their planet, they created the Ultra Mind energy source that transform them into Ultra Warriors, now calling themselves as Ultra Humanoids.
When the Earth was plagued by mysterious phenomenon, the Ultras sent their message and strongest warrior Joneus to guard the planet from monster attacks.
[[folder:As a whole]]
!!!Background U40 people are voiced by: Creator/TakeshiAono, Creator/NorioWakamoto
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Subverted. The Ultras of U40 are originally humans and their Ultra forms are their combat forms, but as stated by Amia, both are equally their true forms. They only choose to assume as humans during peace time and when communicating with mankind.
* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: Planetary example; the U40 Ultras were banished from their own home planet when Heller and his armies invaded it as revenge for their initial banishment during 10,000 years prior to the series.
* AlternateUniverse: Or rather, alternate planet. These Ultras came from Planet U40, making them as departures from the real life Ultras as neither from the Land of Light nor [[Series/UltramanLeo Planet L77]].
* BeenThereShapedHistory: The people of U40 are largely responsible for the modernization of mankind after coming in contact with the Neanderthals in the distant past. Because of this, mankind itself are implied to be descendants to the people of U40.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: The residents of U40 shouted "Ultra Change"! prior to transforming into their Ultra forms, although this only applied to those with the Star Symbols.
* HumanAliens: The U40 Ultras are originally this, and they are even implied to be mankind's descendants due to their established contact with Neanderthals in the distant past. Although obtaining the ability to transform into Ultra, their human forms are still their true forms at that.
* LaResistance: The remaining U40 Ultras banded together to form a resistance team when their home world were taken over by Heller's army. The Science Guard Party join them in order to put Heller's invasion on Earth to a definitive end.
* LightIsGood: In addition to red, the U40 race also has the white coloration to their Ultraman forms. When Joneus gets his own live action suit, the color white was replaced with Land of Light Ultra's silver.
* MassSuperEmpoweringEvent: Predating even the Land of Light in ''Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends'', the U40 people are said to originally being human like, but they receive their Ultraman forms under the exposure to the Ultra Mind, an artificial energy source created to counter invaders on their home planet. Unlike their Land of Light counterparts, Amia outright proclaims that both their human and Ultra forms are equally original forms altogether.
* RedIsHeroic: The entire Ultras of U40 are colored red and white, and are also heroics as long as they maintain their Ultraman forms.
* ReusedCharacterDesign: Other appearing U40 people in their Ultra forms are portrayed as simpler designs of Joneus' appearance.
* {{Sizeshifter}}: Averted. Unlike the Land of Light Ultras, the U40 Ultras are normally human-sized, but the Star Symbol used by the 8 chosen warriors allow them to grow into giant proportions. As Joneus demonstrated, by absorbing enough sunlight, he can grow to the maximum height of 120 meters.
* TransformationTrinket: The entirety of U40 Ultras transform via the use of Beam Flasher, a star-like pendant by placing it on their foreheads. Some of them can naturally warp themselves in their Ultra forms.
* UndergroundCity: The U40 people resides in a massive and civilized underground city, while the ground surface appear as an ancient Rome-like landscape.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: The elders of U40 said this, including that life and death is a normal cycle when Heller proposes the Ultra Mind's power to be used with immortality.

The main Ultra of this anime series, Joneus is the leader of the great 8 Ultra Warriors and the strongest among his race. He was sent to Earth by the Great Sage to defend Earth from monster and alien attacks while bonding himself to Choichiro Hikari, a young man who was on his trip back to Earth.
----
* ArtEvolution: In the series, Joneus' color is mainly red and white as a contrast to the M78 universe Ultras' silver. When he guest appeared in the 1979 live action film ''Ultraman: Great Monster Decisive Battle'', Joneus was adapted into a suit, where his white color was render silver to be in line with the M78 Ultras.
* TheChooserOfTheOne: He chooses Hikari as his human host to operate on Earth. Out of all people, Hikari is due to his selflessness act that only Joneus witnessed at some point prior to the series.
* TheChosenOne: Joneus, Elek, Loto and other great 5 were chosen by the Great Sage as 8 warriors tasked in fighting for the peace of the universe, while Joneus was the only one to be sent down to Earth to defend mankind.
* CombinationAttack: Joneus can combine his beam with the other 7 great warriors, used once to destroy the Baladon's saucer during their escape from Earth.
* CriticalAnnoyance: Like the Land of Light Ultras, Joneus' Star Symbol (his equivalent of Color Timer) measures him time limit on Earth for only 4 minutes. Its original color is green, and when its low in energy, it briefly changes to yellow before blinking in red color.
* DisneyDeath: Both him and Hikari were killed by Bedorun in episode 19, forcing Elek to bring their body to U40 for revival and recuperation.
* FinishingMove: Planium Beam. He can either perform it in a), shooting a ball of light, or b), firing a standard beam attack.
* ForeheadBeam: Astro Spot, perhaps as a nod to Ultraseven's Emerium Ray.
* HealingHands: Through Hikari, Joneus can donate a portion of his energy to heal another Ultra, in the case of episode 31, his little sister, Amia. Unfortunately doing so drained a lot of energy, and Joneus barely had enough energy left to fight by the time he transformed.
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Like all U40 Ultras, Joneus has a human form, but the first glimpse we ever get was shrouded in episode 21. He chooses to do so to keep his bond with Hikari, only revealing it once they are properly severed. He reveals his form in the very final episode when Heller was defeated once and for all, and at one point staying on Earth for a while to watch over mankind rebuilding their civilizations after the Heller Army's intense attack.
* InSeriesNickname: According to Joneus in episode 21, he is also called as J (Joe/Jo) by his people, which is a short for his real name.
* IShallReturn: After temporarily staying on Earth to oversee mankind's reconsruction of their civilizations, Joneus bids farewell to Hikari and the Science Guard Party, swearing that he will return at the time Earth needs him again, and perhaps, taking in a new human host if that is the case.
* MightyGlacier: Is the strongest of the warriors of U40 and has a muscular body built, both in human form and even as an Ultra.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Prior to episode 20, he is only called as "Ultraman" by humankind, as they have no idea to who he is (hence the series is called as ''The Ultraman''). Joneus reveals it in episode 21, and even insisted to use mankind's name, thus combining into "Ultraman Joneus".
* SharingABody: An interesting case is that Hikari was never in a life-threatening situation that forced Joneus to combine with him. Joneus pick the young man because of his selflessness and sincerity to protect others.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is written as Joneus in official romanizations, but pronounced as "Jonias".
* WorldsStrongestMan: Joneus is the strongest warrior that U40 ever had, hence why he was sent to Earth to protect its people.

* CombinationAttack: They can combine their beams with Joneus, Elek and Loto, used once to destroy the Baladon's saucer during their escape from Earth. Without Joneus, the team can form a protective barrier around the Ultra Mind to prevent it from being exploited by other outside forces.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Joneus was the only one with a Star Symbol that allows him to grow in size and operate in another universe, something that Elek, Loto and the other great 5 lacked despite their similar ability to grow large. They later receive their Star Symbol as of episode 29.

A group of elite staffs in the Earth Self-Defense Army, all of them handpicked by Akiyama to form a team capable of fighting against monster attacks in the 21st century. Akiyama was transferred to the USA branch of monster observation, and his position as a leader was taken over by Daisuke Gondo.
During the Heller Empire's invasion, the Science Guard Party decided to take full involvement in the U40 Ultras by giving into their cooperation to destroy Heller's army and liberate their home planet altogether.
[[folder:As a whole]]
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Be it captain Akiyama, captain Gondo or Tobe as an interim captain, all three of them participate in the frontlines of fighting monsters while still being capable leaders.
* BadassCrew: Invoked. Akiyama hires all team members for being the ace in their respective fields, amassing them into a team capable of fighting against monster attacks.
* CoolCar: The Shooter ASS is a six-wheeled car with butterfly doors.
* CoolGun: Each members wield a custom gun as their main weapon.
* CoolPlane:
** The Super Mardock is a massive aircraft developed by Tobe for the Earth Self-Defense Army's use, but Akiyama demanded it for his team's use since they are specifically a group of elite soldiers tasked in fighting monsters. Although capable of fighting monsters, its usually the team's mobile base if they were in need of fighting in areas outside Japan.
** Smaller jets are usually Bardy and Beatamy to go against enemies without dragging the entire Super Mardock into combat.
* CoolStarship: The Science Guard Party received the U40 battleship Ultria from Amia, replacing their destroyed Super Mardock from episode 38 and so on.
* DrillTank: The Passerger and its successor, Passerger 2.
* FireForgedFriends: At the start of the series, the team members were simply doing their jobs to defend mankind from monster attacks, but as the story goes on, they get to know each other a lot more and slowly form into a team of TrueCompanions.
* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Captain Akiyama, and later Captain Gondo when Akiyama was PutOnABus.
** TheHero: Choichiro Hikari, aka the human host of Ultraman Joneus.
** TheChick: Mutsumi Hoshikawa.
** TheBigGuy: Marume, the team sniper.
** TheSmartGuy: Tobe, the team's inventor.
** RobotBuddy: Pig, the team's analyzer. In one occasion, he can also operate as a pilot, thus making him a nominal SixthRanger. Uruk is an addition to this position.
** TeamPet: Monki, well [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a little monkey]].
* MeaningfulName: In Japanese, their name is pronounced as Kagaku Keibitai, a portmanteau of '''Kagaku''' Tokusotai (SSSP in ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'') and Urutora '''Keibitai''' (Ultra Garrison from ''Series/{{Ultraseven}}'').
* MythologyGag:
** As seen above, their names are combinations of Japanese pronunciations of SSSP and Ultra Garrison.
** The team itself wears a pair of uniforms colored light blue/grey, like the ones seen in Ultra Garrison.
** As in the case of ''Series/ReturnOfUltraman'', the old captain was PutOnABus and a new one took his place. Both original team members also had trouble adjusting to him, but they eventually get along well in later episodes.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: When Heller unleashed an all out invasion army towards Earth, the Science Guard Party decided to go to Jupiter to destroy the Heller army's base, but the Self-Defense Army disagreed with them. Lead by Gondo, the team decided to refuse their orders anyway and helped the U40 Ultras to bring their fight to Heller.

----
* BackFromTheDead: Hikari and Joneus were temporarily died by the hands of Bedorun in episode 19. Elek has to fetch them to Planet U40 to revive the two in the next episode.
* ChickMagnet: He has a lot of ShipTease moments going on with [[TheSmurfettePrinciple Mutsumi]], but he also garner a lot of attention from female characters. Best exampled with the bartender-like worker Yuriko Nojima, Joneus' little sister [[FlorenceNightingaleEffect Amia]] and an alien princess in episode 24.
* TheChosenOne: Joneus said that he specifically choses Hikari as his host. The reason is that he had long been on Earth's Solar System, witnessing Hikari's exploits in his space station after selflessly killing a space insect munching through the wires. This act of bravery was witnessed by Joneus alone, coupled with Hikari putting the safety of the station above his own importance (he was low on oxygen at that time) and keeping this as a secret to himself instead of being a GloryHound about it.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Despite his declining oxygen rate, Hikari chooses to save an entire space station from a munching space insect over his own oxygen reserves. He survived, but the event was why Joneus had his eyes on the young man in the first place.
* DubNameChange: Scotty Harrison in the English dub.
* TheHero: As the protagonist of the series and shares it with Joneus.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: After being healed in Planet U40 and helped thwarting the Badel army, Hikari was returned to Earth with his memories at Joneus' home planet being erased. This was done completely to ensure that U40's existence remains a secret to mankind. It doesn't last long due to Amia's presence on Earth, as well as the Heller Army's invasion forces Hikari and the Science Guard Party to give a full participation in assisting the U40's LaResistance team.
* MeaningfulName: His family name is Hikari (Japanese for light), alluding to the fact that he is bonded to Joneus. If that wasn't obvious enough, Ultras are usually the embodiment of light.
* RealityEnsues: Unlike the previous Ultra hosts, Hikari's constant absence whenever Joneus appears arose suspicion among his teammates. Marume was the first person to over get so close to expose Hikari early on in the series. In the last four final episodes, the entire team manages to catch on over what's actually happening and wasn't entirely surprised when Hikari's relation to Joneus was exposed.
* SharingABody: Hikari is symbiotically attached to Joneus, who requires a human partner to operate on Earth while maintaining his cover. Unlike [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Hayata]], [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Go]], [[Series/UltramanAce Hokuto]] or [[Series/UltramanTaro Kotaro]], Hikari never ended up in a life threatening situation for Joneus to interfere.
* TransformationTrinket: The Beam Flasher transform Hikari into Joneus by placing it onto his forehead, later on Joneus' body materializes over him. Starting from episode 21, he starts to shout "Ultra Change!" by copying said phrase from the rest of the U40 Ultras.

* DubNameChange: Captain Adams in the English dub.

* DubNameChange: General Steel in the English dub.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Boisterous and a CoolBigBro presence aside, even Gondo can spare a moment of being deathly afraid of supernatural entities.
* SunglassesAtNight: Usually seen wearing one in missions, even if it happens during the night.

* ShipperOnDeck: Seeing a depressed Mutsumi in episode 24 (actually an alien princess borrowing her likeness), Marume remarks that going on a date with Hikari would cheer her up.

* TheUnchosenOne: He wasn't really one of Akiyama's chosen candidates for the Science Guard Party, begging said captain for membership.

!!Heller Empire
The main antagonist in the final arc of ''The Ultraman'', from episode 37 to episode 50. Lead by the namesake Heller, it was a group of 3,000 Ultra People of U40 who follow Heller's ideals of abandoning their Ultra forms over immortality. Due to the perverted nature of this, they were banished to the depths of the Dark Nebula for their actions. They returned 10,000 years later with an amassed army fleet, invading their original home planet as revenge for their initial banishment while seeking to expand their universal conquest to even the planet Earth due to Joneus' presence on it.
[[folder:As a whole]]
* AllThereInTheManual: The U40 people with Ultra forms are called as Ultra Humanoid. Although not mentioned in the series, the 2013 Tsuburaya encyclopedia stated that Heller and the rest of his followers who abandon their Ultraman forms are called as Anti-Ultra Humanoid.
* BigBadEnsemble: You would think that a total of 3,000+ banished people of U40 would form this kind of army, right? Apparently the Heller Army even conscripted a number of alien races into their ranks and tricked a few innocent aliens to fight for their cause.
* CoolStarship: Being former U40 citizens, the Heller Army moves about and commence their attacks by using combat warships.
* EvilCounterpart: A self-inflicted example, the Heller Army are originally U40 citizen themselves, thus making it a case of the U40 Ultras fighting their former comrades (and possibly their flesh and blood) to reclaim their planet and liberate the entire universe from Heller's grip.
* FallenHero: The members of Heller Empire were originally U40 citizens who share their believes with Heller regarding immortality. It only gets messier from that point that it eventually became a full-scale civil war 10,000 years later.

The main antagonist of ''The Ultraman'' since episode 37 and the de facto leader of Heller Empire and its armies. After being banished into the dark nebula with his 3,000 supporters, Heller sworn to have his revenge by building his empire. After invading his former home planet, Heller decided to expand his conquest to the entire galaxy by invading countless planets, with Earth as his next target due to Joneus' presence over there.
----
* AmbitionIsEvil: His initial goal was to only invade Planet U40 as a revenge, but he expanded his conquest to conquer other innocent alien planets and forcefully conscript some of the alien forces under his leadership.
* BigBad: He is the de facto ruler of Heller Empire and is effectively the major villain in the series.
* BlondesAreEvil: His hair color is yellow like Amia and Loto, but is actually an evil dictator and conqueror.

* DirtyCoward: Has the gall to ditch his army the instant Joneus has him cornered.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: He was killed after being left out in his Heller City as it is falling and crashing to the ground.

* EvilOldFolks: He is probably at least a few years older than Joneus with the added 10,000 years of his banishment, still energetic enough to become a galactic conqueror.
* FallenHero: Although having long discarded his Ultra Humanoid form, Heller is still considered an evil Ultra on his own right, making him a progrenitor to the real evil Ultras like [[Series/UltramanTiga Evil Tiga]] and so on.
* FatalFlaw: Overconfidence. He trapped the Great Sage into a data disk and exploited the Ultra Mind as a power source to his turret while gloating that he has the advantage in the battle. What he fails to realize is that Joneus and the other great 7 Ultras were proven stronger beyond his defenses and his own forces many times. When Joneus managed to attack his entire Heller City, it signals Heller into making an exit, even if it means abandoning his own supporters.
* FauxAffablyEvil: At first glance he looked like a normally composed dictator, but when things gone south, he was quick to drop this facade.
* GalacticConqueror: His current position in the Heller Army, predating even the currently famous [[Franchise/UltramanZero Ultraman Belial]].
* ImmortalityImmorality: For someone who claims to shed his Ultraman form over immortality, Heller has degraded himself into a tyrannical ruler and conqueror.
* ItsAllAboutMe: The entire Heller Empire exist to only satisfy Heller alone. He even orders the attack on Earth and other planets despite their zero involvement in his banishment, all for the sake to throw his tantrum over being banished from his home world prior.
* KnightOfCerebus: The first half of the anime lacked a major antagonist, but by the second half and his army making their debut in episode 37 fits the mold as a more serious threat Hikari and Joneus face.
* LackOfEmpathy: He unleashes a full scale attack on Earth after fearing that mankind would team up with the U40 Ultras to stop him, killing as many innocents along the way. He even extends this callousness to his own soldiers, treating them as cannon fodder just to satiate his ego.
* NamesToRunAwayFromVeryFast: His name is Heller, as in he and his army bring a metaphorical "hell" in their conquests.
* {{Narcissist}}: His desire for immortality makes him a malignant example. On top of that, he has a clear LackOfEmpathy and sees his own army as his expendable and will gladly abandon them when he's out of options.
* NeverMyFault: Heller blames the entire U40 population for his exile. Not surprising, he invaded the planet in retribution and desire for power and conquest, and then takes his frustration further towards Earth.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: He simply commands his armies far away from U40 while Royger supervises the attack on Earth.
* TheSociopath: Heller is defined with the following traits of a classic sociopath: [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitious]], [[DrunkWithPower power-hungry]], lack of shame, [[LackOfEmpathy uncaring for the suffering of others]] other than [[ItsAllAboutMe his own]] and won't [[TheUnfettered stop at nothing]] until he got what he desired.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is written as Heller, but is pronounced as Hell'''a'''r.
* TheUnfought: In truth, Heller was never actually a competent fighter, only ordering the rest of his followers to do the deed and was killed when his ejected city crashed and burn on the ground.
* VillainExitStageLeft: He attempts to escape when his entire city is in shambles, but Joneus isn't so merciful in letting him out.

Heller's right hand man. He is the de jure leader of the army and oversees the invasion on Earth by setting up base Titan in one of Saturn's moons.
----
* AffablyEvil: He retains all of his composures in all of his appearances and even shows no sign of fear when facing death.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is written as Royger, but pronounced as Royg'''a'''r.
* WouldHurtAChild: As if manipulating a young alien into having his monster attacking Joneus, Royger soon kidnapped the boy's monster into a brainwashed servant and had his servants attempted to shoot the boy defenseless.

!!Ultra People
A race of intelligent HumanAliens from the Planet U40, who's culture is similar
When the Earth was plagued by mysterious phenomenon, the Ultras sent their message and strongest warrior Joneus to guard the planet from monster attacks.
[[folder:As a whole]]
!!!Background U40 people are voiced by: Creator/TakeshiAono, Creator/NorioWakamoto
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Subverted. The Ultras of U40 are originally humans and their Ultra forms are their combat forms, but as stated by Amia, both are equally their true forms. They only choose to assume as humans during peace time and when communicating with mankind.
* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: Planetary example; the U40 Ultras were banished from their own home planet when Heller and his armies invaded it as revenge for their initial banishment during 10,000 years prior to the series.
* AlternateUniverse: Or rather, alternate planet. These Ultras came from Planet U40, making them as departures from the real life Ultras as neither from the Land of Light nor [[Series/UltramanLeo Planet L77]].
* BeenThereShapedHistory: The people of U40 are largely responsible for the modernization of mankind after coming in contact with the Neanderthals in the distant past. Because of this, mankind itself are implied to be descendants to the people of U40.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: The residents of U40 shouted "Ultra Change"! prior to transforming into their Ultra forms, although this only applied to those with the Star Symbols.
* HumanAliens: The U40 Ultras are originally this, and they are even implied to be mankind's descendants due to their established contact with Neanderthals in the distant past. Although obtaining the ability to transform into Ultra, their human forms are still their true forms at that.
* LaResistance: The remaining U40 Ultras banded together to form a resistance team when their home world were taken over by Heller's army. The Science Guard Party join them in order to put Heller's invasion on Earth to a definitive end.
* LightIsGood: In addition to red, the U40 race also has the white coloration to their Ultraman forms. When Joneus gets his own live action suit, the color white was replaced with Land of Light Ultra's silver.
* MassSuperEmpoweringEvent: Predating even the Land of Light in ''Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends'', the U40 people are said to originally being human like, but they receive their Ultraman forms under the exposure to the Ultra Mind, an artificial energy source created to counter invaders on their home planet. Unlike their Land of Light counterparts, Amia outright proclaims that both their human and Ultra forms are equally original forms altogether.
* RedIsHeroic: The entire Ultras of U40 are colored red and white, and are also heroics as long as they maintain their Ultraman forms.
* ReusedCharacterDesign: Other appearing U40 people in their Ultra forms are portrayed as simpler designs of Joneus' appearance.
* {{Sizeshifter}}: Averted. Unlike the Land of Light Ultras, the U40 Ultras are normally human-sized, but the Star Symbol used by the 8 chosen warriors allow them to grow into giant proportions. As Joneus demonstrated, by absorbing enough sunlight, he can grow to the maximum height of 120 meters.
* TransformationTrinket: The entirety of U40 Ultras transform via the use of Beam Flasher, a star-like pendant by placing it on their foreheads. Some of them can naturally warp themselves in their Ultra forms.
* UndergroundCity: The U40 people resides in a massive and civilized underground city, while the ground surface appear as an ancient Rome-like landscape.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: The elders of U40 said this, including that life and death is a normal cycle when Heller proposes the Ultra Mind's power to be used with immortality.

!!!Voiced by: Masato Ibu (Japanese); Tom Wyner (English)
[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/joe_data.png]]

The main Ultra of this anime series, Joneus is the leader of the great 8 Ultra Warriors and the strongest among his race. He was sent to Earth by the Great Sage to defend Earth from monster and alien attacks while bonding himself to Choichiro Hikari, a young man who was on his trip back to Earth.
----
* ArtEvolution: In the series, Joneus' color is mainly red and white as a contrast to the M78 universe Ultras' silver. When he guest appeared in the 1979 live action film ''Ultraman: Great Monster Decisive Battle'', Joneus was adapted into a suit, where his white color was render silver to be in line with the M78 Ultras.
* TheChooserOfTheOne: He chooses Hikari as his human host to operate on Earth. Out of all people, Hikari is due to his selflessness act that only Joneus witnessed at some point prior to the series.
* TheChosenOne: Joneus, Elek, Loto and other great 5 were chosen by the Great Sage as 8 warriors tasked in fighting for the peace of the universe, while Joneus was the only one to be sent down to Earth to defend mankind.
* CombinationAttack: Joneus can combine his beam with the other 7 great warriors, used once to destroy the Baladon's saucer during their escape from Earth.
* CriticalAnnoyance: Like the Land of Light Ultras, Joneus' Star Symbol (his equivalent of Color Timer) measures him time limit on Earth for only 4 minutes. Its original color is green, and when its low in energy, it briefly changes to yellow before blinking in red color.
* DisneyDeath: Both him and Hikari were killed by Bedorun in episode 19, forcing Elek to bring their body to U40 for revival and recuperation.
* FinishingMove: Planium Beam. He can either perform it in a), shooting a ball of light, or b), firing a standard beam attack.
* ForeheadBeam: Astro Spot, perhaps as a nod to Ultraseven's Emerium Ray.
* HealingHands: Through Hikari, Joneus can donate a portion of his energy to heal another Ultra, in the case of episode 31, his little sister, Amia. Unfortunately doing so drained a lot of energy, and Joneus barely had enough energy left to fight by the time he transformed.
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Like all U40 Ultras, Joneus has a human form, but the first glimpse we ever get was shrouded in episode 21. He chooses to do so to keep his bond with Hikari, only revealing it once they are properly severed. He reveals his form in the very final episode when Heller was defeated once and for all, and at one point staying on Earth for a while to watch over mankind rebuilding their civilizations after the Heller Army's intense attack.
* InSeriesNickname: According to Joneus in episode 21, he is also called as J (Joe/Jo) by his people, which is a short for his real name.
* IShallReturn: After temporarily staying on Earth to oversee mankind's reconsruction of their civilizations, Joneus bids farewell to Hikari and the Science Guard Party, swearing that he will return at the time Earth needs him again, and perhaps, taking in a new human host if that is the case.
* MightyGlacier: Is the strongest of the warriors of U40 and has a muscular body built, both in human form and even as an Ultra.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Prior to episode 20, he is only called as "Ultraman" by humankind, as they have no idea to who he is (hence the series is called as ''The Ultraman''). Joneus reveals it in episode 21, and even insisted to use mankind's name, thus combining into "Ultraman Joneus".
* SharingABody: An interesting case is that Hikari was never in a life-threatening situation that forced Joneus to combine with him. Joneus pick the young man because of his selflessness and sincerity to protect others.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is written as Joneus in official romanizations, but pronounced as "Jonias".
* WorldsStrongestMan: Joneus is the strongest warrior that U40 ever had, hence why he was sent to Earth to protect its people.

A group of elite staffs in the Earth Self-Defense Army, all of them handpicked by Akiyama to form a team capable of fighting against monster attacks in the 21st century. Akiyama was transferred to the USA branch of monster observation, and his position as a leader was taken over by Daisuke Gondo.
During the Heller Empire's invasion, the Science Guard Party decided to take full involvement in the U40 Ultras by giving into their cooperation to destroy Heller's army and liberate their home planet altogether.
[[folder:As a whole]]
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Be it captain Akiyama, captain Gondo or Tobe as an interim captain, all three of them participate in the frontlines of fighting monsters while still being capable leaders.
* BadassCrew: Invoked. Akiyama hires all team members for being the ace in their respective fields, amassing them into a team capable of fighting against monster attacks.
* CoolCar: The Shooter ASS is a six-wheeled car with butterfly doors.
* CoolGun: Each members wield a custom gun as their main weapon.
* CoolPlane:
** The Super Mardock is a massive aircraft developed by Tobe for the Earth Self-Defense Army's use, but Akiyama demanded it for his team's use since they are specifically a group of elite soldiers tasked in fighting monsters. Although capable of fighting monsters, its usually the team's mobile base if they were in need of fighting in areas outside Japan.
** Smaller jets are usually Bardy and Beatamy to go against enemies without dragging the entire Super Mardock into combat.
* CoolStarship: The Science Guard Party received the U40 battleship Ultria from Amia, replacing their destroyed Super Mardock from episode 38 and so on.
* DrillTank: The Passerger and its successor, Passerger 2.
* FireForgedFriends: At the start of the series, the team members were simply doing their jobs to defend mankind from monster attacks, but as the story goes on, they get to know each other a lot more and slowly form into a team of TrueCompanions.
* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Captain Akiyama, and later Captain Gondo when Akiyama was PutOnABus.
** TheHero: Choichiro Hikari, aka the human host of Ultraman Joneus.
** TheChick: Mutsumi Hoshikawa.
** TheBigGuy: Marume, the team sniper.
** TheSmartGuy: Tobe, the team's inventor.
** RobotBuddy: Pig, the team's analyzer. In one occasion, he can also operate as a pilot, thus making him a nominal SixthRanger. Uruk is an addition to this position.
** TeamPet: Monki, well [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a little monkey]].
* MeaningfulName: In Japanese, their name is pronounced as Kagaku Keibitai, a portmanteau of '''Kagaku''' Tokusotai (SSSP in ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'') and Urutora '''Keibitai''' (Ultra Garrison from ''Series/{{Ultraseven}}'').
* MythologyGag:
** As seen above, their names are combinations of Japanese pronunciations of SSSP and Ultra Garrison.
** The team itself wears a pair of uniforms colored light blue/grey, like the ones seen in Ultra Garrison.
** As in the case of ''Series/ReturnOfUltraman'', the old captain was PutOnABus and a new one took his place. Both original team members also had trouble adjusting to him, but they eventually get along well in later episodes.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: When Heller unleashed an all out invasion army towards Earth, the Science Guard Party decided to go to Jupiter to destroy the Heller army's base, but the Self-Defense Army disagreed with them. Lead by Gondo, the team decided to refuse their orders anyway and helped the U40 Ultras to bring their fight to Heller.

The show's main protagonist, a young officer from the space station EGG 3 who was scouted by Akiyama to join the Science Guard Party. Midway in his return to Earth, he was bonded to Joneus and had since using the Ultra's power to defend Earth.
----
* BackFromTheDead: Hikari and Joneus were temporarily died by the hands of Bedorun in episode 19. Elek has to fetch them to Planet U40 to revive the two in the next episode.
* ChickMagnet: He has a lot of ShipTease moments going on with [[TheSmurfettePrinciple Mutsumi]], but he also garner a lot of attention from female characters. Best exampled with the bartender-like worker Yuriko Nojima, Joneus' little sister [[FlorenceNightingaleEffect Amia]] and an alien princess in episode 24.
* TheChosenOne: Joneus said that he specifically choses Hikari as his host. The reason is that he had long been on Earth's Solar System, witnessing Hikari's exploits in his space station after selflessly killing a space insect munching through the wires. This act of bravery was witnessed by Joneus alone, coupled with Hikari putting the safety of the station above his own importance (he was low on oxygen at that time) and keeping this as a secret to himself instead of being a GloryHound about it.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Despite his declining oxygen rate, Hikari chooses to save an entire space station from a munching space insect over his own oxygen reserves. He survived, but the event was why Joneus had his eyes on the young man in the first place.
* DubNameChange: Scotty Harrison in the English dub.
* TheHero: As the protagonist of the series and shares it with Joneus.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: After being healed in Planet U40 and helped thwarting the Badel army, Hikari was returned to Earth with his memories at Joneus' home planet being erased. This was done completely to ensure that U40's existence remains a secret to mankind. It doesn't last long due to Amia's presence on Earth, as well as the Heller Army's invasion forces Hikari and the Science Guard Party to give a full participation in assisting the U40's LaResistance team.
* MeaningfulName: His family name is Hikari (Japanese for light), alluding to the fact that he is bonded to Joneus. If that wasn't obvious enough, Ultras are usually the embodiment of light.
* RealityEnsues: Unlike the previous Ultra hosts, Hikari's constant absence whenever Joneus appears arose suspicion among his teammates. Marume was the first person to over get so close to expose Hikari early on in the series. In the last four final episodes, the entire team manages to catch on over what's actually happening and wasn't entirely surprised when Hikari's relation to Joneus was exposed.
* SharingABody: Hikari is symbiotically attached to Joneus, who requires a human partner to operate on Earth while maintaining his cover. Unlike [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Hayata]], [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Go]], [[Series/UltramanAce Hokuto]] or [[Series/UltramanTaro Kotaro]], Hikari never ended up in a life threatening situation for Joneus to interfere.
* TransformationTrinket: The Beam Flasher transform Hikari into Joneus by placing it onto his forehead, later on Joneus' body materializes over him. Starting from episode 21, he starts to shout "Ultra Change!" by copying said phrase from the rest of the U40 Ultras.

An officer who was tasked in leading the Science Guard Party, while giving in two conditions: 1) he handpicked his own team members, and 2) having the Super Mardock to be used for his team. The Self-Defense Army has no trouble complying to his wishes and over time, the team under his leadership proved their worth as a competent fighting force against monsters.
----
* TheChooserOfTheOne: He handpicked his team members based on their talents in respective fields.
* DubNameChange: Captain Adams in the English dub.
* {{Expy}}: To Captain Kato from ''Series/ReturnOfUltraman''. Like Akiyama, Kato was the initial leader of MAT and has a parental-like presence to his team members. He was also PutOnABus somewhere in the middle of the series and was replaced by another captain.
* AFatherToHisMen: He rarely spends his time with his younger team members, but gives a rather parental presence to the team. At the end of episode 2, he was absent in Mutsumi's birthday party, but delivers a birthday cake instead before returning home.
* TheLeader: The first one in the Science Guard Party to be exact.
* PutOnABus: He was promoted and transferred into the American branch at the end of episode 26. The team manages to give their final respect to him in mid flight.

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gondo.jpeg]]
The replacement captain from episode 28 after Akiyama was PutOnABus. Despite his initial brash attitude, the rest of the Science Guard Party were later on accepted his leadership.
----
* BigBrotherMentor: His boisterous, youthful and hot blooded approach makes him fits well with the similarly young members in the Science Guard Party, while still having the authority and intelligence of a captain.
* CoatCape: He hangs a coat over his own uniform.
* {{Expy}}: To Ryu Ibuki in ''Series/ReturnOfUltraman''. Both are substitute to the previous captain and had a rocky start with the members of their teams in their debut episode, but later on proves to be competent leaders and accepted by their team members very well.
* DrillSergeantNasty: He puts the team members in a vigorous training in his debut episode.
* DubNameChange: General Steel in the English dub.
* HiddenDepths: He is the first person to suspect Gamiba's presence in the Maroi Island in episode 33 when deducing that the island never had any record of earthquakes. This seems to indicate Gondo as someone with ecological knowledge.
* TheLeader: He replaces Akiyama as one, starting in episode 28.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Boisterous and a CoolBigBro presence aside, even Gondo can spare a moment of being deathly afraid of supernatural entities.
* SunglassesAtNight: Usually seen wearing one in missions, even if it happens during the night.
* SureLetsGoWithThat: He was initially mistaken to be a common member by the scientist Henry Nishiki. Instead of correcting the senile professor, Gondo seems to enjoy going along with the charade, much to his team members' amusement.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Is afraid of supernatural entities (such as Yuki Onna), although he hides it well from his team members. Fortunately for him, the Yuki Onna in question is an alien with similar lookalike who was [[GoodAllAlong reaching for Joneus' help]].

An overweight officer of the Earth Self-Defense Army. Upon overhearing that Akiyama is scouting for members of the Science Guard Party, he asked him over the membership and was reluctantly accepted. He is usually the source of the comic relief among the team members.
----
* {{Acrofatic}}: Despite his overweight appearance, Marume is still an energetic and trained soldier on his own right.
* TheBigGuy: Pun aside, he's more capable of using heavy artillery to destroy monsters in one shot. In fact aside from Joneus, he killed quite a few monsters with his own hands.
* {{Expy}}: Taking in both the roles of [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Arashi]] and [[Series/{{Ultraseven}} Furuhashi]] into a single character. In that, they are all comic relief
[[index]]
*
* FatBestFriend: To the Science Guard Party.
* FriendToAllChildren: As seen in episode 3 when teaching a young boy named Takashi the responsibility of a pet owner. Even moreso in episode 22 when he builds a device to send a young monster back to its original dimension after getting lost in the human world.

*
*
* MeaningfulName: Marume, having the word "Maru" as a Japanese fat for being fat.
* ShipperOnDeck: Seeing a depressed Mutsumi in episode 24 (actually an alien princess borrowing her likeness), Marume remarks that going on a date with Hikari would cheer her up. [[CharacterDevelopment This is a far cry for someone who locked Hikari into his changing room just to go on a mission with Mutsumi in episode 2]].
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Japanese example; the Kanji of his first name, Kei/æ¬, is also read as "Takashi". His last name is the only one to be mentioned in the series, but supplementary materials such as a Karuta card pronounced it as "Kei".
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Tobe, making a FatAndSkinny duo.
* TheUnchosenOne: He wasn't really one of Akiyama's chosen candidates for the Science Guard Party, begging said captain for membership. While Akiyama reluctantly allow him to get in, Marume proves himself a lot of times that he is as competent as other team members by being the top marksman of the team.

Of all the team members, she and Tobe are the only one to have ever met each others before, as they previously discussed over their interests in recent incidents that eventually lead to the appearance of the Kaiju worldwide.
----
* ActionGirl: Part of the reason for her active involvement in the team is to prove her worth to her male members.

* LastOfItsKind: Uruk was the only one of its unit to be activated despite the rest of them were visible in the Ultria ship itself. Considering that Ultria was destroyed upon entry in Planet U40, Uruk may be the only one to ever made it out, unless the Defense Army had thought of extracting Uruk's robot companions from Ultria beforehand.

!!Heller Empire
The main antagonist in the final arc of ''The Ultraman'', from episode 37 to episode 50. Lead by the namesake Heller, it was a group of 3,000 Ultra People of U40 who follow Heller's ideals of abandoning their Ultra forms over immortality. Due to the perverted nature of this, they were banished to the depths of the Dark Nebula for their actions. They returned 10,000 years later with an amassed army fleet, invading their original home planet as revenge for their initial banishment while seeking to expand their universal conquest to even the planet Earth due to Joneus' presence on it.
[[folder:As a whole]]
* AllThereInTheManual: The U40 people with Ultra forms are called as Ultra Humanoid. Although not mentioned in the series, the 2013 Tsuburaya encyclopedia stated that Heller and the rest of his followers who abandon their Ultraman forms are called as Anti-Ultra Humanoid.
* BigBadEnsemble: You would think that a total of 3,000+ banished people of U40 would form this kind of army, right? Apparently the Heller Army even conscripted a number of alien races into their ranks and tricked a few innocent aliens to fight for their cause.
* CoolStarship: Being former U40 citizens, the Heller Army moves about and commence their attacks by using combat warships.
* EvilCounterpart: A self-inflicted example, the Heller Army are originally U40 citizen themselves, thus making it a case of the U40 Ultras fighting their former comrades (and possibly their flesh and blood) to reclaim their planet and liberate the entire universe from Heller's grip.
* FallenHero: The members of Heller Empire were originally U40 citizens who share their believes with Heller regarding immortality. It only gets messier from that point that it eventually became a full-scale civil war 10,000 years later.
* {{Revenge}}: The army invaded Planet U40 as a retribution for being banished into the dark nebula in 10,000 years prior to the series.

!!!Voiced by Tamio Oki
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heller.jpg]]
The main antagonist of ''The Ultraman'' since episode 37 and the de facto leader of Heller Empire and its armies. After being banished into the dark nebula with his 3,000 supporters, Heller sworn to have his revenge by building his empire. After invading his former home planet, Heller decided to expand his conquest to the entire galaxy by invading countless planets, with Earth as his next target due to Joneus' presence over there.
----
* AmbitionIsEvil: His initial goal was to only invade Planet U40 as a revenge, but he expanded his conquest to conquer other innocent alien planets and forcefully conscript some of the alien forces under his leadership.
* BigBad: He is the de facto ruler of Heller Empire and is effectively the major villain in the series.
* BlondesAreEvil: His hair color is yellow like Amia and Loto, but is actually an evil dictator and conqueror.
* DarkIsEvil: His black uniform only serves to complement his presence as a tyrant ruler.
* DirtyCoward: Has the gall to ditch his army the instant Joneus has him cornered.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: He was killed after being left out in his Heller City as it is falling and crashing to the ground.
* EvilIsPetty: Banishing him and his 3,000 followers would result in him conquering their former homeworld back after 10,000 years.
* EvilOldFolks: He is probably at least a few years older than Joneus with the added 10,000 years of his banishment, still energetic enough to become a galactic conqueror.
* FallenHero: Although having long discarded his Ultra Humanoid form, Heller is still considered an evil Ultra on his own right, making him a progrenitor to the real evil Ultras like [[Series/UltramanTiga Evil Tiga]] and so on.
* FatalFlaw: Overconfidence. He trapped the Great Sage into a data disk and exploited the Ultra Mind as a power source to his turret while gloating that he has the advantage in the battle. What he fails to realize is that Joneus and the other great 7 Ultras were proven stronger beyond his defenses and his own forces many times. When Joneus managed to attack his entire Heller City, it signals Heller into making an exit, even if it means abandoning his own supporters.
* FauxAffablyEvil: At first glance he looked like a normally composed dictator, but when things gone south, he was quick to drop this facade.
* GalacticConqueror: His current position in the Heller Army, predating even the currently famous [[Franchise/UltramanZero Ultraman Belial]].
* ImmortalityImmorality: For someone who claims to shed his Ultraman form over immortality, Heller has degraded himself into a tyrannical ruler and conqueror.
* ItsAllAboutMe: The entire Heller Empire exist to only satisfy Heller alone. He even orders the attack on Earth and other planets despite their zero involvement in his banishment, all for the sake to throw his tantrum over being banished from his home world prior.
* KnightOfCerebus: The first half of the anime lacked a major antagonist, but by the second half and his army making their debut in episode 37 fits the mold as a more serious threat Hikari and Joneus face.
* LackOfEmpathy: He unleashes a full scale attack on Earth after fearing that mankind would team up with the U40 Ultras to stop him, killing as many innocents along the way. He even extends this callousness to his own soldiers, treating them as cannon fodder just to satiate his ego.
* NamesToRunAwayFromVeryFast: His name is Heller, as in he and his army bring a metaphorical "hell" in their conquests.
* {{Narcissist}}: His desire for immortality makes him a malignant example. On top of that, he has a clear LackOfEmpathy and sees his own army as his expendable and will gladly abandon them when he's out of options.
* NeverMyFault: Heller blames the entire U40 population for his exile. Not surprising, he invaded the planet in retribution and desire for power and conquest, and then takes his frustration further towards Earth.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: He simply commands his armies far away from U40 while Royger supervises the attack on Earth.
* TheSociopath: Heller is defined with the following traits of a classic sociopath: [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitious]], [[DrunkWithPower power-hungry]], lack of shame, [[LackOfEmpathy uncaring for the suffering of others]] other than [[ItsAllAboutMe his own]] and won't [[TheUnfettered stop at nothing]] until he got what he desired.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is written as Heller, but is pronounced as Hell'''a'''r.
* TheUnfought: In truth, Heller was never actually a competent fighter, only ordering the rest of his followers to do the deed and was killed when his ejected city crashed and burn on the ground.
* VillainExitStageLeft: He attempts to escape when his entire city is in shambles, but Joneus isn't so merciful in letting him out.

----
* AffablyEvil: He retains all of his composures in all of his appearances and even shows no sign of fear when facing death.
* TheDragon: To Heller.
* EvilOldFolks: Looks the part of it, especially with his gray hair. Do note that at that time, his voice actor Ryuzaburo Otomo is still in his late 20's.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: He purposely stayed behind in the ruined Titan base while gloating to Joneus that Amia was kidnapped and transported to Heller. All while being aware that his death is ahead and he has none the worse for fear.
* ManipulativeBastard: He manipulates innocent aliens to do the Heller Army's deeds to, best shown tricking an alien boy and an alien hunter into fighting Joneus.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His name is also pronounced in Japanese in the same way as the Lloighor creature from the Cthulhu mythos.
* NotSoAboveItAll: He would take the time to caress Monki instead of immediately killing it, only doing so when the little monkey try to escape.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is written as Royger, but pronounced as Royg'''a'''r.
* WouldHurtAChild: As if manipulating a young alien into having his monster attacking Joneus, Royger soon kidnapped the boy's monster into a brainwashed servant and had his servants attempted to shoot the boy defenseless.

Best exampled with the bartender-like worker Yuriko Nojima, Joneus' little sister [[FlorenceNightingaleEffect Amia]] and an alien princess in episode 24.

The reason is that he had long been on Earth's Solar System, witnessing Hikari's exploits in his space station after selflessly killing a space insect munching through the wires. This act of bravery was witnessed by Joneus alone, coupled with Hikari putting the safety of the station above his own importance (he was low on oxygen at that time) and keeping this as a secret to himself instead of being a GloryHound about it.

* MeaningfulName: His family name is Hikari (Japanese for light), alluding to the fact that he is bonded to Joneus. If that wasn't obvious enough, Ultras are usually the embodiment of light.
* RealityEnsues: Unlike the previous Ultra hosts, Hikari's constant absence whenever Joneus appears arose suspicion among his teammates. Marume was the first person to over get so close to expose Hikari early on in the series. In the last four final episodes, the entire team manages to catch on over what's actually happening and wasn't entirely surprised when Hikari's relation to Joneus was exposed.
* SharingABody: Hikari is symbiotically attached to Joneus, who requires a human partner to operate on Earth while maintaining his cover. Unlike [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Hayata]], [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Go]], [[Series/UltramanAce Hokuto]] or [[Series/UltramanTaro Kotaro]], Hikari never ended up in a life threatening situation for Joneus to interfere.

!!Ultra People
A race of intelligent HumanAliens from the Planet U40, who's culture is similar to the Ancient Greece, down to wearing Himation and Toga. A long time ago, the U40 residents were advanced 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 any extraterrestrial threats that harm the safety of their planet, they created the Ultra Mind energy source that transform them into Ultra Warriors, now calling themselves as Ultra Humanoids.
When the Earth was plagued by mysterious phenomenon, the Ultras sent their message and strongest warrior Joneus to guard the planet from monster attacks.

Changed line(s) 277,295 (click to see context) from:
* ArtEvolution: In the series, Joneus' color is mainly red and white as a contrast to the M78 universe Ultras' silver. When he guest appeared in the 1979 live action film ''Ultraman: Great Monster Decisive Battle'', Joneus was adapted into a suit, where his white color was render silver to be in line with the M78 Ultras.
* TheChooserOfTheOne: He chooses Hikari as his human host to operate on Earth. Out of all people, Hikari is due to his selflessness act that only Joneus witnessed at some point prior to the series.
* TheChosenOne: Joneus, Elek, Loto and other great 5 were chosen by the Great Sage as 8 warriors tasked in fighting for the peace of the universe, while Joneus was the only one to be sent down to Earth to defend mankind.
* CombinationAttack: Joneus can combine his beam with the other 7 great warriors, used once to destroy the Baladon's saucer during their escape from Earth.
* CriticalAnnoyance: Like the Land of Light Ultras, Joneus' Star Symbol (his equivalent of Color Timer) measures him time limit on Earth for only 4 minutes. Its original color is green, and when its low in energy, it briefly changes to yellow before blinking in red color.
* DisneyDeath: Both him and Hikari were killed by Bedorun in episode 19, forcing Elek to bring their body to U40 for revival and recuperation.
* FinishingMove: Planium Beam. He can either perform it in a), shooting a ball of light, or b), firing a standard beam attack.
* ForeheadBeam: Astro Spot, perhaps as a nod to Ultraseven's Emerium Ray.
* HealingHands: Through Hikari, Joneus can donate a portion of his energy to heal another Ultra, in the case of episode 31, his little sister, Amia. Unfortunately doing so drained a lot of energy, and Joneus barely had enough energy left to fight by the time he transformed.
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Like all U40 Ultras, Joneus has a human form, but the first glimpse we ever get was shrouded in episode 21. He chooses to do so to keep his bond with Hikari, only revealing it once they are properly severed. He reveals his form in the very final episode when Heller was defeated once and for all, and at one point staying on Earth for a while to watch over mankind rebuilding their civilizations after the Heller Army's intense attack.
* InSeriesNickname: According to Joneus in episode 21, he is also called as J (Joe/Jo) by his people, which is a short for his real name.
* IShallReturn: After temporarily staying on Earth to oversee mankind's reconsruction of their civilizations, Joneus bids farewell to Hikari and the Science Guard Party, swearing that he will return at the time Earth needs him again, and perhaps, taking in a new human host if that is the case.
* MightyGlacier: Is the strongest of the warriors of U40 and has a muscular body built, both in human form and even as an Ultra.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Prior to episode 20, he is only called as "Ultraman" by humankind, as they have no idea to who he is (hence the series is called as ''The Ultraman''). Joneus reveals it in episode 21, and even insisted to use mankind's name, thus combining into "Ultraman Joneus".
* SharingABody: An interesting case is that Hikari was never in a life-threatening situation that forced Joneus to combine with him. Joneus pick the young man because of his selflessness and sincerity to protect others.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is written as Joneus in official romanizations, but pronounced as "Jonias".

!!Science Guard Party
A group of elite staffs in the Earth Self-Defense Army, all of them handpicked by Akiyama to form a team capable of fighting against monster attacks in the 21st century. Akiyama was transferred to the USA branch of monster observation, and his position as a leader was taken over by Daisuke Gondo.
During the Heller Empire's invasion, the Science Guard Party decided to take full involvement in the U40 Ultras by giving into their cooperation to destroy Heller's army and liberate their home planet altogether.
[[folder:As a whole]]
* BadassCrew: Invoked. Akiyama hires all team members for being the ace in their respective fields, amassing them into a team capable of fighting against monster attacks.
* CoolCar: The Shooter ASS is a six-wheeled car with butterfly doors.
* CoolGun: Each members wield a custom gun as their main weapon.
* CoolPlane:
** The Super Mardock is a massive aircraft developed by Tobe for the Earth Self-Defense Army's use, but Akiyama demanded it for his team's use since they are specifically a group of elite soldiers tasked in fighting monsters. Although capable of fighting monsters, its usually the team's mobile base if they were in need of fighting in areas outside Japan.
** Smaller jets are usually Bardy and Beatamy to go against enemies without dragging the entire Super Mardock into combat.
* CoolStarship: The Science Guard Party received the U40 battleship Ultria from Amia, replacing their destroyed Super Mardock from episode 38 and so on.
* DrillTank: The Passerger and its successor, Passerger 2.
* FireForgedFriends: At the start of the series, the team members were simply doing their jobs to defend mankind from monster attacks, but as the story goes on, they get to know each other a lot more and slowly form into a team of TrueCompanions.
* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Captain Akiyama, and later Captain Gondo when Akiyama was PutOnABus.
** TheLancer: Choichiro Hikari, aka the human host of Ultraman Joneus.
** TheChick: Mutsumi Hoshikawa.
** TheBigGuy: Marume, the team sniper.
** TheSmartGuy: Tobe, the team's inventor.
** RobotBuddy: Pig, the team's analyzer. In one occasion, he can also operate as a pilot, thus making him a nominal SixthRanger. Uruk is an addition to this position.
** TeamPet: Monki, well [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a little monkey]].
* MeaningfulName: In Japanese, their name is pronounced as Kagaku Keibitai, a portmanteau of '''Kagaku''' Tokusotai (SSSP in ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'') and Urutora '''Keibitai''' (Ultra Garrison from ''Series/{{Ultraseven}}'').
* MythologyGag:
** As seen above, their names are combinations of Japanese pronunciations of SSSP and Ultra Garrison.
** The team itself wears a pair of uniforms colored light blue/grey, like the ones seen in Ultra Garrison.
** As in the case of ''Series/ReturnOfUltraman'', the old captain was PutOnABus and a new one took his place. Both original team members also had trouble adjusting to him, but they eventually get along well in later episodes.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: When Heller unleashed an all out invasion army towards Earth, the Science Guard Party decided to go to Jupiter to destroy the Heller army's base, but the Self-Defense Army disagreed with them. Lead by Gondo, the team decided to refuse their orders anyway and helped the U40 Ultras to bring their fight to Heller.

[[folder:Choichiro Hikari]]
!!Choichiro Hikari
!!!Voiced by: Creator/KeiTomiyama (Japanese); Gary Morgan and Steve Kramer (English)
The show's main protagonist, a young officer from the space station EGG 3 who was scouted by Akiyama to join the Science Guard Party. Midway in his return to Earth, he was bonded to Joneus and had since using the Ultra's power to defend Earth.
----
* BackFromTheDead: Hikari and Joneus were temporarily died by the hands of Bedorun in episode 19. Elek has to fetch them to Planet U40 to revive the two in the next episode.
* ChickMagnet: He has a lot of ShipTease moments going on with [[TheSmurfettePrinciple Mutsumi]], but he also garner a lot of attention from female characters. Best exampled with the bartender-like worker Yuriko Nojima, Joneus' little sister [[FlorenceNightingaleEffect Amia]] and an alien princess in episode 24.
* TheChosenOne: Joneus said that he specifically choses Hikari as his host. The reason is that he had long been on Earth's Solar System, witnessing Hikari's exploits in his space station after selflessly killing a space insect munching through the wires. This act of bravery was witnessed by Joneus alone, coupled with Hikari putting the safety of the station above his own importance (he was low on oxygen at that time) and keeping this as a secret to himself instead of being a GloryHound about it.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Despite his declining oxygen rate, Hikari chooses to save an entire space station from a munching space insect over his own oxygen reserves. He survived, but the event was why Joneus had his eyes on the young man in the first place.
* DubNameChange: Scotty Harrison in the English dub.
* TheHero: As the protagonist of the series and shares it with Joneus.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: After being healed in Planet U40 and helped thwarting the Badel army, Hikari was returned to Earth with his memories at Joneus' home planet being erased. This was done completely to ensure that U40's existence remains a secret to mankind. It doesn't last long due to Amia's presence on Earth, as well as the Heller Army's invasion forces Hikari and the Science Guard Party to give a full participation in assisting the U40's La Résistance team.
* MeaningfulName: His family name is Hikari (Japanese for light), alluding to the fact that he is bonded to Joneus. If that wasn't obvious enough, Ultras are usually the embodiment of light.
* RealityEnsues: Unlike the previous Ultra hosts, Hikari's constant absence whenever Joneus appears arose suspicion among his teammates. Marume was the first person to over get so close to expose Hikari early on in the series. In the last four final episodes, the entire team manages to catch on over what's actually happening and wasn't entirely surprised when Hikari's relation to Joneus was exposed.
* SharingABody: Hikari is symbiotically attached to Joneus, who requires a human partner to operate on Earth while maintaining his cover. Unlike [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Hayata]], [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Go]], [[Series/UltramanAce Hokuto]] or [[Series/UltramanTaro Kotaro]], Hikari never ended up in a life threatening situation for Joneus to interfere.
* TransformationTrinket: The Beam Flasher transform Hikari into Joneus by placing it onto his forehead, later on Joneus' body materializes over him. Starting from episode 21, he starts to shout "Ultra Change!" by copying said phrase from the rest of the U40 Ultras.

!!!Voiced by: Kinya Morikawa (Japanese); Tom Wyner (English)
An officer who was tasked in leading the Science Guard Party, while giving in two conditions: 1) he handpicked his own team members, and 2) having the Super Mardock to be used for his team. The Self-Defense Army has no trouble complying to his wishes and over time, the team under his leadership proved their worth as a competent fighting force against monsters.
----
* TheChooserOfTheOne: He handpicked his team members based on their talents in respective fields.
* DubNameChange: Captain Adams in the English dub.
* {{Expy}}: To Captain Kato from ''Series/ReturnOfUltraman''. Like Akiyama, Kato was the initial leader of MAT and has a parental-like presence to his team members. He was also PutOnABus somewhere in the middle of the series and was replaced by another captain.
* AFatherToHisMen: He rarely spends his time with his younger team members, but gives a rather parental presence to the team. At the end of episode 2, he was absent in Mutsumi's birthday party, but delivers a birthday cake instead before returning home.
* TheLeader: The first one in the Science Guard Party to be exact.
* PutOnABus: He was promoted and transferred into the American branch at the end of episode 26. The team manages to give their final respect to him in mid flight.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Daisuke Gondo]]
!!Captain Daisuke Gondo
!!!Voiced by: Creator/HidekatsuShibata (Japanese); Sam Reily (English)
The replacement captain from episode 28 after Akiyama was PutOnABus. Despite his initial brash attitude, the rest of the Science Guard Party were later on accepted his leadership.
----
* BigBrotherMentor: His boisterous, youthful and hot blooded approach makes him fits well with the similarly young members in the Science Guard Party, while still having the authority and intelligence of a captain.
* CoatCape: He hangs a coat over his own uniform.
* {{Expy}}: To Ryu Ibuki in ''Series/ReturnOfUltraman''. Both are substitute to the previous captain and had a rocky start with the members of their teams in their debut episode, but later on proves to be competent leaders and accepted by their team members very well.
* DrillSergeantNasty: He puts the team members in a vigorous training in his debut episode.
* DubNameChange: General Steel in the English dub.
* HiddenDepths: He is the first person to suspect Gamiba's presence in the Maroi Island in episode 33 when deducing that the island never had any record of earthquakes. This seems to indicate Gondo as someone with ecological knowledge.

* ShipperOnDeck: Seeing a depressed Mutsumi in episode 24 (actually an alien princess borrowing her likeness), Marume remarks that going on a date with Hikari would cheer her up.

* ThoseTwoGuys: With Tobe.
* TheUnchosenOne: He wasn't really one of Akiyama's chosen candidates for the Science Guard Party, begging said captain for membership.

!!Ultra People
A race of intelligent HumanAliens from the Planet U40, who's culture is similar to the Ancient Greece, down to wearing Himation and Toga. A long time ago, the U40 residents were advanced 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 any extraterrestrial threats that harm the safety of their planet, they created the Ultra Mind energy source that transform them into Ultra Warriors, now calling themselves as Ultra Humanoids.
When the Earth was plagued by mysterious phenomenon, the Ultras sent their message and strongest warrior Joneus to guard the planet from monster attacks.
[[folder:As a whole]]
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Subverted. The Ultras of U40 are originally humans and their Ultra forms are their combat forms, but as stated by Amia, both are equally their true forms. They only choose to assume as humans during peace time and when communicating with mankind.
* AlternateUniverse: Or rather, alternate planet. These Ultras came from Planet U40, making them as departures from the real life Ultras as neither from the Land of Light nor [[Series/UltramanLeo Planet L77]].
* BeenThereShapedHistory: The people of U40 are largely responsible for the modernization of mankind after coming in contact with the Neanderthals in the distant past. Because of this, mankind itself are implied to be descendants to the people of U40.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: The residents of U40 shouted "Ultra Change"! prior to transforming into their Ultra forms, although this only applied to those with the Star Symbols.
* HumanAliens: The U40 Ultras are originally this, and they are even implied to be mankind's descendants due to their established contact with Neanderthals in the distant past. Although obtaining the ability to transform into Ultra, their human forms are still their true forms at that.
* LaResistance: The remaining U40 Ultras banded together to form a resistance team when their home world were taken over by Heller's army. The Science Guard Party join them in order to put Heller's invasion on Earth to a definitive end.
* LightIsGood: In addition to red, the U40 race also has the white coloration to their Ultraman forms. When Joneus gets his own live action suit, the color white was replaced with Land of Light Ultra's silver.
* MassSuperEmpoweringEvent: Predating even the Land of Light in ''Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends'', the U40 people are said to originally being human like, but they receive their Ultraman forms under the exposure to the Ultra Mind, an artificial energy source created to counter invaders on their home planet. Unlike their Land of Light counterparts, Amia outright proclaims that both their human and Ultra forms are equally original forms altogether.
* RedIsHeroic: The entire Ultras of U40 are colored red and white, and are also heroics as long as they maintain their Ultraman forms.
* {{Sizeshifter}}: Averted. Unlike the Land of Light Ultras, the U40 Ultras are normally human-sized, but the Star Symbol used by the 8 chosen warriors allow them to grow into giant proportions. As Joneus demonstrated, by absorbing enough sunlight, he can grow to the maximum height of 120 meters.
* TransformationTrinket: The entirety of U40 Ultras transform via the use of Beam Flasher, a star-like pendant by placing it on their foreheads. Some of them can naturally warp themselves in their Ultra forms.
* UndergroundCity: The U40 people resides in a massive and civilized underground city, while the ground surface appear as an ancient Rome-like landscape.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: The elders of U40 said this, including that life and death is a normal cycle when Heller proposes the Ultra Mind's power to be used with immortality.

[[folder:Ultraman Joneus]]
!!Ultraman Joneus
!!!Voiced by: Masato Ibu (Japanese); Tom Wyner (English)
The main Ultra of this anime series, Joneus is the leader of the great 8 Ultra Warriors and the strongest among his race. He was sent to Earth by the Great Sage to defend Earth from monster and alien attacks while bonding himself to Choichiro Hikari, a young man who was on his trip back to Earth.
----
* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: Planetary example; the U40 Ultras were banished from their own home planet when Heller and his armies invaded it as revenge for their initial banishment during 10,000 years prior to the series.
* ArtEvolution: In the series, Joneus' color is mainly red and white as a contrast to the M78 universe Ultras' silver. When he guest appeared in the 1979 live action film ''Ultraman: Great Monster Decisive Battle'', Joneus was adapted into a suit, where his white color was render silver to be in line with the M78 Ultras.
* TheChooserOfTheOne: He chooses Hikari as his human host to operate on Earth. Out of all people, Hikari is due to his selflessness act that only Joneus witnessed at some point prior to the series.
* TheChosenOne: Joneus, Elek, Loto and other great 5 were chosen by the Great Sage as 8 warriors tasked in fighting for the peace of the universe, while Joneus was the only one to be sent down to Earth to defend mankind.
* CombinationAttack: Joneus can combine his beam with the other 7 great warriors, used once to destroy the Baladon's saucer during their escape from Earth.
* CriticalAnnoyance: Like the Land of Light Ultras, Joneus' Star Symbol (his equivalent of Color Timer) measures him time limit on Earth for only 4 minutes. Its original color is green, and when its low in energy, it briefly changes to yellow before blinking in red color.
* DisneyDeath: Both him and Hikari were killed by Bedorun in episode 19, forcing Elek to bring their body to U40 for revival and recuperation.
* FinishingMove: Planium Beam. He can either perform it in a), shooting a ball of light, or b), firing a standard beam attack.
* HealingHands: Through Hikari, Joneus can donate a portion of his energy to heal another Ultra, in the case of episode 31, his little sister, Amia. Unfortunately doing so drained a lot of energy, and Joneus barely had enough energy left to fight by the time he transformed.
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Like all U40 Ultras, Joneus has a human form, but the first glimpse we ever get was shrouded in episode 21. He chooses to do so to keep his bond with Hikari, only revealing it once they are properly severed. He reveals his form in the very final episode when Heller was defeated once and for all, and at one point staying on Earth for a while to watch over mankind rebuilding their civilizations after the Heller Army's intense attack.
* InSeriesNickname: According to Joneus in episode 21, he is also called as J (Joe/Jo) by his people, which is a short for his real name.
* IShallReturn: After temporarily staying on Earth to oversee mankind's reconsruction of their civilizations, Joneus bids farewell to Hikari and the Science Guard Party, swearing that he will return at the time Earth needs him again, and perhaps, taking in a new human host if that is the case.
* MightyGlacier: Is the strongest of the warriors of U40 and has a muscular body built, both in human form and even as an Ultra.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Prior to episode 20, he is only called as "Ultraman" by humankind, as they have no idea to who he is (hence the series is called as ''The Ultraman''). Joneus reveals it in episode 21, and even insisted to use mankind's name, thus combining into "Ultraman Joneus".
* SharingABody: An interesting case is that Hikari was never in a life-threatening situation that forced Joneus to combine with him. Joneus pick the young man because of his selflessness and sincerity to protect others.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is written as Joneus in official romanizations, but pronounced as "Jonias".
* WorldsStrongestMan: Joneus is the strongest warrior that U40 ever had, hence why he was sent to Earth to protect its people.

!!Heller Empire
The main antagonist in the final arc of ''The Ultraman'', from episode 37 to episode 50. Lead by the namesake Heller, it was a group of 3,000 Ultra People of U40 who follow Heller's ideals of abandoning their Ultra forms over immortality. Due to the perverted nature of this, they were banished to the depths of the Dark Nebula for their actions. They returned 10,000 years later with an amassed army fleet, invading their original home planet as revenge for their initial banishment while seeking to expand their universal conquest to even the planet Earth due to Joneus' presence on it.
[[folder:As a whole]]
* AllThereInTheManual: The U40 people with Ultra forms are called as Ultra Humanoid. Although not mentioned in the series, the 2013 Tsuburaya encyclopedia stated that Heller and the rest of his followers who abandon their Ultraman forms are called as Anti-Ultra Humanoid.
* BigBadEnsemble: You would think that a total of 3,000+ banished people of U40 would form this kind of army, right? Apparently the Heller Army even conscripted a number of alien races into their ranks and tricked a few innocent aliens to fight for their cause.
* CoolStarship: Being former U40 citizens, the Heller Army moves about and commence their attacks by using combat warships.
* EvilCounterpart: A self-inflicted example, the Heller Army are originally U40 citizen themselves, thus making it a case of the U40 Ultras fighting their former comrades (and possibly their flesh and blood) to reclaim their planet and liberate the entire universe from Heller's grip.
* FallenHero: The members of Heller Empire were originally U40 citizens who share their believes with Heller regarding immortality. It only gets messier from that point that it eventually became a full-scale civil war 10,000 years later.
* {{Revenge}}: The army invaded Planet U40 as a retribution for being banished into the dark nebula in 10,000 years prior to the series.

After invading his former home planet, Heller decided to expand his conquest to the entire galaxy by invading countless planets, with Earth as his next target due to Joneus' presence over there.
----
* AmbitionIsEvil: His initial goal was to only invade Planet U40 as a revenge, but he expanded his conquest to conquer other innocent alien planets and forcefully conscript some of the alien forces under his leadership.
* BigBad: He is the de facto ruler of Heller Empire and is effectively the major villain in the series.
* BlondesAreEvil: His hair color is yellow like Amia and Loto, but is actually an evil dictator and conqueror.
* DarkIsEvil: His black uniform only serves to compliment his presence as a tyrannic ruler.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: He was killed after being left out in his Heller City as it is falling and crashing to the ground.
* EvilAlbino: His skin color is bleached, a la albinism, if this condition ever existed in U40 biology. In any way, he is still the major antagonist of the series.
* EvilIsPetty: Banishing him and his 3,000 followers would result in him conquering their former homeworld back after 10,000 years.
* EvilOldFolks: He is probably at least a few years older than Joneus with the added 10,000 years of his banishment, still energetic enough to become a galactic conqueror.
* FallenHero: Although having long discarded his Ultra Humanoid form, Heller is still considered an evil Ultra on his own right, making him a progrenitor to the real evil Ultras like [[Series/UltramanTiga Evil Tiga]] and so on.
* FatalFlaw: Overconfidence. He trapped the Great Sage into a data disk and exploited the Ultra Mind as a power source to his turret while gloating that he has the advantage in the battle. What he fails to realize is that Joneus and the other great 7 Ultras were proven stronger beyond his defenses and his own forces many times.

!!Science Guard Party
A group of elite staffs in the Earth Self-Defense Army, all of them handpicked by Akiyama to form a team capable of fighting against monster attacks in the 21st century. Akiyama was transferred to the USA branch of monster observation, and his position as a leader was taken over by Daisuke Gondo.
During the Heller Empire's invasion, the Science Guard Party decided to take full involvement in the U40 Ultras by giving into their cooperation to destroy Heller's army and liberate their home planet altogether.

* CoolCar: The Shooter ASS is a six-wheeled car with butterfly doors.
* CoolGun: Each members wield a custom gun as their main weapon.
* CoolPlane:
** The Super Mardock is a massive aircraft developed by Tobe for the Earth Self-Defense Army's use, but Akiyama demanded it for his team's use since they are specifically a group of elite soldiers tasked in fighting monsters. Although capable of fighting monsters, its usually the team's mobile base if they were in need of fighting in areas outside Japan.
** Smaller jets are usually Bardy and Beatamy to go against enemies without dragging the entire Super Mardock into combat.
* CoolStarship: The Science Guard Party received the U40 battleship Ultria from Amia, replacing their destroyed Super Mardock from episode 38 and so on.
* DrillTank: The Passerger and its successor, Passerger 2.
* FireForgedFriends: At the start of the series, the team members were simply doing their jobs to defend mankind from monster attacks, but as the story goes on, they get to know each other a lot more and slowly form into a team of TrueCompanions.
* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Captain Akiyama, and later Captain Gondo when Akiyama was PutOnABus.
** TheLancer: Choichiro Hikari, aka the human host of Ultraman Joneus.
** TheChick: Mutsumi Hoshikawa.
** TheBigGuy: Marume, the team sniper.
** TheSmartGuy: Tobe, the team's inventor.
** RobotBuddy: Pig, the team's analyzer. In one occasion, he can also operate as a pilot, thus making him a nominal SixthRanger. Uruk is an addition to this position.
** TeamPet: Monki, well [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a little monkey]].
* MeaningfulName: In Japanese, their name is pronounced as Kagaku Keibitai, a portmanteau of '''Kagaku''' Tokusotai (SSSP in ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'') and Urutora '''Keibitai''' (Ultra Garrison from ''Series/{{Ultraseven}}'').
* MythologyGag:
** As seen above, their names are combinations of Japanese pronunciations of SSSP and Ultra Garrison.
** The team itself wears a pair of uniforms colored light blue/grey, like the ones seen in Ultra Garrison.
** As in the case of ''Series/ReturnOfUltraman'', the old captain was PutOnABus and a new one took his place. Both original team members also had trouble adjusting to him, but they eventually get along well in later episodes.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: When Heller unleashed an all out invasion army towards Earth, the Science Guard Party decided to go to Jupiter to destroy the Heller army's base, but the Self-Defense Army disagreed with them. Lead by Gondo, the team decided to refuse their orders anyway and helped the U40 Ultras to bring their fight to Heller.

* ChickMagnet: He has a lot of ShipTease moments going on with [[TheSmurfettePrinciple Mutsumi]], but he also garner a lot of attention from female characters. Best exampled with the bartender-like worker Yuriko Nojima, Joneus' little sister [[FlorenceNightingaleEffect Amia]] and an alien princess in episode 24.
* TheChosenOne: Joneus said that he specifically choses Hikari as his host. The reason is that he had long been on Earth's Solar System, witnessing Hikari's exploits in his space station after selflessly killing a space insect munching through the wires. This act of bravery was witnessed by Joneus alone, coupled with Hikari putting the safety of the station above his own importance (he was low on oxygen at that time) and keeping this as a secret to himself instead of being a GloryHound about it.

* TheHero: As the protagonist of the series and shares it with Joneus.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: After being healed in Planet U40 and helped thwarting the Badel army, Hikari was returned to Earth with his memories at Joneus' home planet being erased.

It doesn't last long due to Amia's presence on Earth, as well as the Heller Army's invasion forces Hikari and the Science Guard Party to give a full participation in assisting the U40's La Résistance team.
* MeaningfulName: His family name is Hikari (Japanese for light), alluding to the fact that he is bonded to Joneus. If that wasn't obvious enough, Ultras are usually the embodiment of light.
* RealityEnsues: Unlike the previous Ultra hosts, Hikari's constant absence whenever Joneus appears arose suspicion among his teammates. Marume was the first person to over get so close to expose Hikari early on in the series. In the last four final episodes, the entire team manages to catch on over what's actually happening and wasn't entirely surprised when Hikari's relation to Joneus was exposed.
* SharingABody: Hikari is symbiotically attached to Joneus, who requires a human partner to operate on Earth while maintaining his cover. Unlike [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Hayata]], [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Go]], [[Series/UltramanAce Hokuto]] or [[Series/UltramanTaro Kotaro]], Hikari never ended up in a life threatening situation for Joneus to interfere.
* TransformationTrinket: The Beam Flasher transform Hikari into Joneus by placing it onto his forehead, later on Joneus' body materializes over him. Starting from episode 21, he starts to shout "Ultra Change!" by copying said phrase from the rest of the U40 Ultras.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite his occasional self-centered moments, Marume is still a good person at heart.

* ShipperOnDeck: Seeing a depressed Mutsumi in episode 24 (actually an alien princess borrowing her likeness), Marume remarks that going on a date with Hikari would cheer her up.

* ThoseTwoGuys: With Tobe.
* TheUnchosenOne: He wasn't really one of Akiyama's chosen candidates for the Science Guard Party, begging said captain for membership.

!!Ultra People
A race of intelligent HumanAliens from the Planet U40, who's culture is similar to the Ancient Greece, down to wearing Himation and Toga. A long time ago, the U40 residents were advanced 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 any extraterrestrial threats that harm the safety of their planet, they created the Ultra Mind energy source that transform them into Ultra Warriors, now calling themselves as Ultra Humanoids.
When the Earth was plagued by mysterious phenomenon, the Ultras sent their message and strongest warrior Joneus to guard the planet from monster attacks.
[[folder:As a whole]]
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Subverted. The Ultras of U40 are originally humans and their Ultra forms are their combat forms, but as stated by Amia, both are equally their true forms. They only choose to assume as humans during peace time and when communicating with mankind.
* AlternateUniverse: Or rather, alternate planet. These Ultras came from Planet U40, making them as departures from the real life Ultras as neither from the Land of Light nor [[Series/UltramanLeo Planet L77]].
* BeenThereShapedHistory: The people of U40 are largely responsible for the modernization of mankind after coming in contact with the Neanderthals in the distant past. Because of this, mankind itself are implied to be descendants to the people of U40.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: The residents of U40 shouted "Ultra Change"! prior to transforming into their Ultra forms, although this only applied to those with the Star Symbols.
* HumanAliens: The U40 Ultras are originally this, and they are even implied to be mankind's descendants due to their established contact with Neanderthals in the distant past. Although obtaining the ability to transform into Ultra, their human forms are still their true forms at that.
* LaResistance: The remaining U40 Ultras banded together to form a resistance team when their home world were taken over by Heller's army. The Science Guard Party join them in order to put Heller's invasion on Earth to a definitive end.
* LightIsGood: In addition to red, the U40 race also has the white coloration to their Ultraman forms. When Joneus gets his own live action suit, the color white was replaced with Land of Light Ultra's silver.
* MassSuperEmpoweringEvent: Predating even the Land of Light in ''Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends'', the U40 people are said to originally being human like, but they receive their Ultraman forms under the exposure to the Ultra Mind, an artificial energy source created to counter invaders on their home planet. Unlike their Land of Light counterparts, Amia outright proclaims that both their human and Ultra forms are equally original forms altogether.
* RedIsHeroic: The entire Ultras of U40 are colored red and white, and are also heroics as long as they maintain their Ultraman forms.
* {{Sizeshifter}}: Averted. Unlike the Land of Light Ultras, the U40 Ultras are normally human-sized, but the Star Symbol used by the 8 chosen warriors allow them to grow into giant proportions. As Joneus demonstrated, by absorbing enough sunlight, he can grow to the maximum height of 120 meters.
* TransformationTrinket: The entirety of U40 Ultras transform via the use of Beam Flasher, a star-like pendant by placing it on their foreheads. Some of them can naturally warp themselves in their Ultra forms.
* UndergroundCity: The U40 people resides in a massive and civilized underground city, while the ground surface appear as an ancient Rome-like landscape.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: The elders of U40 said this, including that life and death is a normal cycle when Heller proposes the Ultra Mind's power to be used with immortality.

!!Ultraman Joneus
!!!Voiced by: Masato Ibu (Japanese); Tom Wyner (English)
The main Ultra of this anime series, Joneus is the leader of the great 8 Ultra Warriors and the strongest among his race. He was sent to Earth by the Great Sage to defend Earth from monster and alien attacks while bonding himself to Choichiro Hikari, a young man who was on his trip back to Earth.
----
* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: Planetary example; the U40 Ultras were banished from their own home planet when Heller and his armies invaded it as revenge for their initial banishment during 10,000 years prior to the series.
* ArtEvolution: In the series, Joneus' color is mainly red and white as a contrast to the M78 universe Ultras' silver. When he guest appeared in the 1979 live action film ''Ultraman: Great Monster Decisive Battle'', Joneus was adapted into a suit, where his white color was render silver to be in line with the M78 Ultras.
* TheChooserOfTheOne: He chooses Hikari as his human host to operate on Earth. Out of all people, Hikari is due to his selflessness act that only Joneus witnessed at some point prior to the series.
* TheChosenOne: Joneus, Elek, Loto and other great 5 were chosen by the Great Sage as 8 warriors tasked in fighting for the peace of the universe, while Joneus was the only one to be sent down to Earth to defend mankind.
* CombinationAttack: Joneus can combine his beam with the other 7 great warriors, used once to destroy the Baladon's saucer during their escape from Earth.
* CriticalAnnoyance: Like the Land of Light Ultras, Joneus' Star Symbol (his equivalent of Color Timer) measures him time limit on Earth for only 4 minutes. Its original color is green, and when its low in energy, it briefly changes to yellow before blinking in red color.
* DisneyDeath: Both him and Hikari were killed by Bedorun in episode 19, forcing Elek to bring their body to U40 for revival and recuperation.
* FinishingMove: Planium Beam. He can either perform it in a), shooting a ball of light, or b), firing a standard beam attack.
* HealingHands: Through Hikari, Joneus can donate a portion of his energy to heal another Ultra, in the case of episode 31, his little sister, Amia. Unfortunately doing so drained a lot of energy, and Joneus barely had enough energy left to fight by the time he transformed.
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Like all U40 Ultras, Joneus has a human form, but the first glimpse we ever get was shrouded in episode 21. He chooses to do so to keep his bond with Hikari, only revealing it once they are properly severed. He reveals his form in the very final episode when Heller was defeated once and for all, and at one point staying on Earth for a while to watch over mankind rebuilding their civilizations after the Heller Army's intense attack.
* InSeriesNickname: According to Joneus in episode 21, he is also called as J (Joe/Jo) by his people, which is a short for his real name.
* IShallReturn: After temporarily staying on Earth to oversee mankind's reconsruction of their civilizations, Joneus bids farewell to Hikari and the Science Guard Party, swearing that he will return at the time Earth needs him again, and perhaps, taking in a new human host if that is the case.
* MightyGlacier: Is the strongest of the warriors of U40 and has a muscular body built, both in human form and even as an Ultra.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Prior to episode 20, he is only called as "Ultraman" by humankind, as they have no idea to who he is (hence the series is called as ''The Ultraman''). Joneus reveals it in episode 21, and even insisted to use mankind's name, thus combining into "Ultraman Joneus".
* SharingABody: An interesting case is that Hikari was never in a life-threatening situation that forced Joneus to combine with him. Joneus pick the young man because of his selflessness and sincerity to protect others.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is written as Joneus in official romanizations, but pronounced as "Jonias".
* WorldsStrongestMan: Joneus is the strongest warrior that U40 ever had, hence why he was sent to Earth to protect its people.

!!Heller Empire
The main antagonist in the final arc of ''The Ultraman'', from episode 37 to episode 50. Lead by the namesake Heller, it was a group of 3,000 Ultra People of U40 who follow Heller's ideals of abandoning their Ultra forms over immortality. Due to the perverted nature of this, they were banished to the depths of the Dark Nebula for their actions. They returned 10,000 years later with an amassed army fleet, invading their original home planet as revenge for their initial banishment while seeking to expand their universal conquest to even the planet Earth due to Joneus' presence on it.
[[folder:As a whole]]
* AllThereInTheManual: The U40 people with Ultra forms are called as Ultra Humanoid. Although not mentioned in the series, the 2013 Tsuburaya encyclopedia stated that Heller and the rest of his followers who abandon their Ultraman forms are called as Anti-Ultra Humanoid.
* BigBadEnsemble: You would think that a total of 3,000+ banished people of U40 would form this kind of army, right? Apparently the Heller Army even conscripted a number of alien races into their ranks and tricked a few innocent aliens to fight for their cause.
* CoolStarship: Being former U40 citizens, the Heller Army moves about and commence their attacks by using combat warships.
* EvilCounterpart: A self-inflicted example, the Heller Army are originally U40 citizen themselves, thus making it a case of the U40 Ultras fighting their former comrades (and possibly their flesh and blood) to reclaim their planet and liberate the entire universe from Heller's grip.
* FallenHero: The members of Heller Empire were originally U40 citizens who share their believes with Heller regarding immortality. It only gets messier from that point that it eventually became a full-scale civil war 10,000 years later.
* {{Revenge}}: The army invaded Planet U40 as a retribution for being banished into the dark nebula in 10,000 years prior to the series.

[[folder:Heller]]
!!Heller
!!!Voiced by Tamio Oki
The main antagonist of ''The Ultraman'' since episode 37 and the de facto leader of Heller Empire and its armies. After being banished into the dark nebula with his 3,000 supporters, Heller sworn to have his revenge by building his empire. After invading his former home planet, Heller decided to expand his conquest to the entire galaxy by invading countless planets, with Earth as his next target due to Joneus' presence over there.
----
* AmbitionIsEvil: His initial goal was to only invade Planet U40 as a revenge, but he expanded his conquest to conquer other innocent alien planets and forcefully conscript some of the alien forces under his leadership.
* BigBad: He is the de facto ruler of Heller Empire and is effectively the major villain in the series.
* BlondesAreEvil: His hair color is yellow like Amia and Loto, but is actually an evil dictator and conqueror.
* DarkIsEvil: His black uniform only serves to compliment his presence as a tyrannic ruler.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: He was killed after being left out in his Heller City as it is falling and crashing to the ground.
* EvilAlbino: His skin color is bleached, a la albinism, if this condition ever existed in U40 biology. In any way, he is still the major antagonist of the series.
* EvilIsPetty: Banishing him and his 3,000 followers would result in him conquering their former homeworld back after 10,000 years.
* EvilOldFolks: He is probably at least a few years older than Joneus with the added 10,000 years of his banishment, still energetic enough to become a galactic conqueror.
* FallenHero: Although having long discarded his Ultra Humanoid form, Heller is still considered an evil Ultra on his own right, making him a progrenitor to the real evil Ultras like [[Series/UltramanTiga Evil Tiga]] and so on.
* FatalFlaw: Overconfidence. He trapped the Great Sage into a data disk and exploited the Ultra Mind as a power source to his turret while gloating that he has the advantage in the battle. What he fails to realize is that Joneus and the other great 7 Ultras were proven stronger beyond his defenses and his own forces many times. When Joneus managed to attack his entire Heller City, it signals Heller into making an exit, even if it means abandoning his own supporters.
* FauxAffablyEvil: At first glance he looked like a normally composed dictator, but when things gone south, he was quick to drop this facade.
* GalacticConqueror: His current position in the Heller Army, predating even the currently famous [[Franchise/UltramanZero Ultraman Belial]].
* ImmortalityImmorality: For someone who claims to shed his Ultraman form over immortality, Heller has degraded himself into a tyrannical ruler and conqueror.
* ItsAllAboutMe: The entire Heller Empire exist to only satisfy Heller alone. He even orders the attack on Earth and other planets despite their zero involvement in his banishment, all for the sake to throw his tantrum over being banished from his home world prior.
* LackOfEmpathy: He unleashes a full scale attack on Earth after fearing that mankind would team up with the U40 Ultras to stop him, killing as many innocents along the way. He
* NamesToRunAwayFromVeryFast: His name is Heller, as in he and his army bring a metaphorical "hell" in their conquests.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: He simply commands his armies far away from U40 while Royger supervises the attack on Earth.
* TheSociopath: Heller is defined with the following traits of a classic sociopath: [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitious]], [[DrunkWithPower power-hungry]], lack of shame, [[LackOfEmpathy uncaring for the suffering of others]] other than [[ItsAllAboutMe his own]] and won't [[TheUnfettered stop at nothing]] until he got what he desired.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is written as Heller, but is pronounced as Hell'''a'''r.
* TheUnfought: In truth, Heller was never actually a competent fighter, only ordering the rest of his followers to do the deed and was killed when his ejected city crashed and burn on the ground.
* VillainExitStageLeft: He attempts to escape when his entire city is in shambles, but Joneus isn't so merciful in letting him out.

* FaceDeathWithDignity: He purposely stayed behind in the ruined Titan base while gloating to Joneus that Amia was kidnapped and transported to Heller. All while being aware that his death is ahead and he has none the worse for fear.
* ManipulativeBastard: He manipulates innocent aliens to do the Heller Army's deeds to, best shown tricking an alien boy and an alien hunter into fighting Joneus.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His name is also pronounced in Japanese in the same way as the Lloighor creature from the Cthulhu mythos.
* NotSoAboveItAll: He would take the time to caress Monki instead of immediately killing it, only doing so when the little monkey try to escape.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is written as Royger, but pronounced as Royg'''a'''r.
* WouldHurtAChild: As if manipulating a young alien into having his monster attacking Joneus, Royger soon kidnapped the boy's monster into a brainwashed servant and had his servants attempted to shoot the boy defenseless.
