Ultraman Cosmos

Voiced by: Hisanori Koyatsu (First Contact), Yuki Sato (series), Tetsu Inada (The Blue Planet and Ultraman Cosmos vs Ultraman Justice), Taiyo Sugiura (Ultraman Saga onwards)

The hero of the series, Ultraman Cosmos is a calm and gentle alien of unknown origin who seeks to protect Earth. He befriended Musashi on his first visit to Earth, and would later merge with the human to battle Chaos Header. Unlike most Ultramen, Cosmos is a pacifist and prefers to calm rampaging kaiju instead of killing them. Ultraman Cosmos has since made appearances in a number of other installments, beginning with the 2012 movie Ultraman Saga.

Badass Pacifist: Whereas other Ultramen are warriors who usually kill the monsters and aliens they battle, Cosmos prefers not to use violence and instead usually attempts to purify or pacify his opponents.
Big Good: In the series, with the main focus being Musashi. Cosmos acts as a mentor figure for the young hero.
- After his series concluded, Cosmos and Musashi becomes this to their successors such as Ginga and Orb.
Blue Is Calm: Aside from showing his heroism, Cosmos' blue color also shows his pacifist nature, prefering calm and peaceful solutions to conflicts.
Blue Is Heroic: His main color is a light blue and he is a pure-hearted and kind individual who seeks harmony and the coexistance of living beings.
Beware the Nice Ones: Cosmos is a pacifist who wants everyone to get along and rarely harbors hatred even towards his enemies, but anger him or hurt those that he cares for with malevolent intent and he will destroy you.
Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Like his heisei predecessors, the main colours of Cosmos's forms explain their specialties
- Luna mode is all blue as it is used for non-violent solutions, used defensive attacks and its special moves are for either calming the monsters or getting rid of any malice within them.
- Corona mode is mostly red with a little blue. This form is used when Cosmos resolve to combat but still intended to save monsters if it can. Its special moves are used to destroy any enemies that is past saving, though he has non violent moves as well.
- Eclipse mode is mostly blue with red lining and yellow/gold on his chest. In this form, Cosmos is all about combat but still chooses to save his opponents. Its special move, the cosmium beam, is fired as if its an attack but is also used to destroy any form of malice or danger from within its opponents without hurting them.
Cosmic Motifs: Aside from his name being Cosmos (space), his forms are all based on celestial bodies. Luna and Corona are based on moon and sun, while eclipse is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. Also it's mentioned in the 2018 Ultraman Tiga, Dyna, and Gaia Novel that he draws his powers from the Sun and the Moon.
Dented Iron: In episode 60, Cosmos revealed to Musashi that he is getting weaker during his time on earth. However , he assures the young hero that he is going to keep fighting even it means he has to die.
Friend to All Living Things: Cosmos has dedicated his life to all creatures that seek to live peacefully with others. His only exceptions to this were Alien Nowar, Alien Waroga, Sandros, Alien Bat, Etelgar and formerly Chaos Header (before Musashi helped him find a way to redeem it).
Gentle Giant: Even by Ultraman standards, Cosmos is gentle and kind, only killing his enemies if no peaceful solutions can be achieved. In fact, he has the lowest kill ratio of all Ultras, with only a few genuinely evil/unredeemable enemies being killed.
Literal Split Personality: It's alluded to through All There in the Manual and eventually confirmed in Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy that Cosmos is actually the result of Ultraman Legend splitting in two to become him and Justice.
Martial Pacifist: Cosmos often uses defensive maneuvers when battling, as he tries to avoid provoking fights and battles only to subdue his enemies without hurting them.
Multiform Balance: Cosmos has several forms he switches between depending on the situation:
- Luna Mode, his default blue form, uses a variety of healing, purification, and calming powers in order to pacify berserk monsters. It is powered by Cosmos' own kindness.
- Corona Mode, where he gains lots of red in overlap with his blue patterns. This form is powered by Cosmos' strength, and is mainly used if killing is the only way to end the conflict.
- Eclipse Mode, which he gains in Episode 30. It combines the powers of Luna and Corona Mode through Musashi's own courage. However, it can only be used for one minute.
- Space Corona Mode, a purple form with greater speed and mental/energy abilities than Luna Mode, but as its name suggests is mainly used for combat in space.
- Future Mode, gained in Ultraman Cosmos vs. Ultraman Justice: The Final Battle. It represents hope, which combines the kindness, strength and courage of the other forms. Powered by future energy, it is Cosmos' strongest form and also has the ability to fuse with Ultraman Justice to form Ultraman Legend.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
- Earlier in his own series, when the baby Arados dies saving him from Ragstone Mechalator, who was sent to kill Cosmos so Nowar could kidnap the baby Arados, Cosmos wordlessly destroys Nowar's spaceship with him on it for it.
- In general, if he goes all-out and foregoes his usual Martial Pacifist fighting style, you know he's been absolutely pissed off and will lay a smackdown on, if not outright destroy, those who dared to provoke him far.
Papa Wolf: An ultra/host version to Musashi. He is very protective of the boy and tries his best to ensure his safety even if it means seperating himself from him. In one example, when Chaos Darkness nearly kills Musashi in the finale, Cosmos went berserk on the monster.
Red Baron: The Warrior of Kindness.
Technical Pacifist: Cosmos uses Luna Mode to subdue and pacify the kaiju when he can. Clones, robots, and kaiju that are not Non-Malicious Monsters are generally okay to destroy with Corona Mode.
So Proud of You: His goodbye to Musashi in his series. Cosmos is impress that Musashi has more heart and kindness than even Cosmos himself, to the point where he manages to turn Chaos Darkness into his good angelic form, something that Cosmos himself never thought about. He then assures Musashi that earth will be safe in his hands before taking off.
True Companions: Cosmos and Mushashi is a rare ultra and host example. Cosmos deeply cares for his human host and will do all he can to not only save the day but also ensure Musashi's safety. In fact, the first two times he seperated himself from Musashi is not because of him no longer want to be one with him, but because of fear of the man's life. He also acts as a mentor to Musashi giving him guidance needed to do what is right.
- It is worth mentioning that by the time Ultraman Orb kicks in, he still chose to be bonded with Musashi rather than go independent.

EYES (Elite Young Expert Squad)

The attack team of this series, EYES is a branch of the SRC (Scientific Research Circle), an organization dedicated to studying and protecting monsters and aliens. Thus, EYES is not a military squad and prefers to deal with monsters and aliens non-violently. However, they do carry weaponry and have fighting vehicles for defense and those times when they must battle the monsters. In the series' timeline, the group was established shortly after the events of the first movie in response to the appearance of Ultraman Cosmos.

The Main Team

Musashi Haruno

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/musashi_9.jpg

Played by: Taiyo Sugiura (in the series), Kounosuke Tokai (in First Contact)

The protagonist. Musashi first met Ultraman Cosmos when he was just 10, but would merge with him after he grew up and joined SRC. Like Cosmos, Musashi is pacifistic, gentle, and hopes that some day humans and kaiju will be able to coexist peacefully. He transforms with the Cosmos Pluck, which was given to him by Cosmos as a gemstone to call him when they first met, only gaining the transformation aspect later on.

Action Dad: In Ultraman Saga, it is shown that he has a son with Ayano.
All-Loving Hero: In a manner similar to Cosmos. See Friend to All Living Things below. Even the seemingly pure evil that is Chaos Header doesn't earn his hatred. In fact, he is perfectly happy to forgive Julie/Ultraman Justice, despite them killing him and Cosmos and almost allowing Delacion to commit planetary genocide on Earth.
Beware the Nice Ones: In general, Musashi is the sweetest guy you'll ever met, but he is NO pushover. In his determined state to acquire strength, he manages to beat Fubuki in their sparring match and even leave a really bad bruise on his arm, Fubuki himself is surprised...and terrified.
Childhood Friends: A rare non-human example with Lidorias, the two met when Musashi was a kid and have remained friends with each other ever since.
- In a minor sense, he and Cosmos are also this, since he met him when he was a child and Cosmos even took him flying, something that he remembers fondly as an adult.
Chronic Hero Syndrome: Sometimes Deconstructed. Musashi's desire to protect all innocent kaiju and aliens often results in Leeroy Jenkins, putting at risk himself, teammates, or the one he's trying to save. Usually it works out in the end. For an Eligal, it didn't.
Decoy Protagonist: It appears that the Cosmos VS Justice movie focuses on Musashi, right? Wrong. The director reveals in the magazine that the true viewpoint character is Julie, aka. Ultraman Justice, which is better exemplified by him and Cosmos getting killed by Justice early on and only being revived at the beginning of the third act, once Justice and Julie have had their Heel–Face Turn.
Death Glare: He gives a really scary one when he defeats Fubuki in episode 28. Fubuki himself is scared by this.
Easily Forgiven: Musashi's Chronic Hero Syndrome often puts EYES in legal or physical danger, and at some points he even gets fired. Of course, Status Quo Is God and issues with insubordination are resolved between episodes.
Friend to All Living Things: Like Cosmos, Musashi believes that all beings, whether they be human, monster, animal, or alien, have a right to live in peace, even Chaos Header. Only a few legitimately evil aliens became aversions to his view due to their cruelty.
The Heart: Musashi just wants everyone, humans, animals, Kaiju, aliens and other things alike to live in peace and harmony. He rarely harbors negative emotions towards someone and helps his teammates and others around him grow kinder and happier.
The Hero: The series follows his dreams in pursuit of a world where all creatures, including kaiju, can live together peacefully.
Martial Pacifist: Believes strongly in avoiding violence and fighting, which grows stronger as the series draws to a close as he even questions if killing Chaos Header is right.
Manly Tears: When he said his goodbyes to Ultraman Cosmos in the finale of the series.
Official Couple: With Ayano. They even have a son by the time of Ultraman Saga.
Positive Friend Influence: To everyone else in the series, his pacifism and niceness rubs off his teammates and helps them all not only become more forgiving and kind, but also to eventually solve their personal problems. Likewise, his kindness gets Ultraman Justice to view the errors of his extremism and even Cosmos tells him that Musashi has far more of a heart than he does, and that he owes his truest kindness to Musashi's own idealism.
The Mentor: He becomes this in later Ultra series where he gave the new generation ultras guidance and support, most notably in ultraman orb.
True Companions: An ultra and host version with Cosmos. Whereas other hosts have little to no direct interaction with their Ultra, Musashi speaks to Cosmos as if he is a friend or a mentor, from asking for guidance, or just to talk with him. He is even devastated when Cosmos separated with him. Musashi himself tries to help Cosmos as best as he can in occasions showing that the man care for his Ultra.

Harumitsu Hiura

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

Played by: Daisuke Shima

The captain of EYES and the one who convinced Musashi to join the team. Captain Hiura is also the team's founder, having originally been part of SRC.

A Day in the Limelight: "The Alternate Dimension Trap" and "Gigi vs Gon".
A Father to His Men: He cares deeply for each member of EYES and has full trust in their capabilities.
Beware the Nice Ones: Piss him off and he'll show you he's no slouch in a fight.
The Captain: Of EYES.
Frontline General: Occasionally participates directly in the fights of EYES'.
Supporting Leader: He tends to direct orders from the safety of EYES' Treasure Base.
What the Hell, Hero?: Often is the one to directly call out the JADF on their unnecessary violence and hatred of monsters, that often results in innocent monsters being hurt/dying, and is willing to get physical to get his points across.

Mizuki Shinobu

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

Played by: Kaori Sakagami

Captain Hiura's second-in-command. Vice-Captain Shinobu was originally a military instructor, but joined EYES out of admiration for their ideals. She is reserved woman and typically leads the rest of the team on the field.

A Day in the Limelight: "The Legend of Mt. Nibito" and "The Magic Stone".
Action Girl: In contrast to Ayano, who's usually stationed in base.
Defrosting Ice Queen: Though reserved and strict, Musashi's positivity rubs off on her, softening her somewhat.
Number Two: To Captain Hiura, as she leads the rest of the team out in the field.

Koji Doigaki

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

Played by: Koichi Sudo

A chubby fellow who serves as the team's engineer and science expert, having been lauded as a genius at a young age despite his upbringing as the son of a rugged and stoic fisherman.

A Day in the Limelight: "Monster Fishing", "The Bronze Devil", "Wrath of the Sea God", and "The Miraculous Flower".
Fat Comic Relief: Downplayed. He often has his moments as such, but is also legitimately a very intelligent person whose ideas have proven to be key to success on many occasions. Likewise, his struggles and issues with his father are not Played for Laughs beyond a few scenes and form a serious part of his character arcs.
Nice Guy
The Smart Guy: He creates the various technology and strategies that EYES uses against monsters, and also plays a role in researching the anti-Chaos Header antidote.
Smart People Wear Glasses: Always bespectacled.
"Well Done, Son" Guy: His relationship with his father, who he feels doesn't appreciate his achievements as an EYES scientist enough to care.

Ayano Morimoto

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

Played by: Mayuka Suzuki

The youngest member of the team (she's the same age as Musashi, but younger by 10 months), Ayano is a spirited and energetic girl who also serves as the bridge communications manager for the team.

A Day in the Limelight: "The Sleeping Girl", "Warm Memories", and "The Amusement Park Legend"
Bridge Bunnies: She's typically stationed at EYES' computer and communications bridge.
Genki Girl: She's a cheerful and chatty girl full of energy and good feelings.
Mission Control: She rarely ever goes out onto the field.
Official Couple: With Musashi. They have a son by the time of Ultraman Saga.

Keisuke Fubuki

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fubuki_2.jpg

Played by: Hidekazu Ichinose

The best pilot on EYES and a former JADF soldier, Fubuki has a stern and aggressive attitude, which means that he frequently butts heads with Musashi (not that it stops Hiura from making them work together as "a breeze in spring").

Ace Pilot: Was already a talent in the Defense Force days, but in EYES his TECCH Thunder 1 is the strongest force against the monster besides Cosmos.
The Cynic: In contrast to the more lighthearted nature of the show and most of its cast, Fubuki tends to be rather dour and cynical. This eventually starts to fade away with his Character Development and growing kindness.
A Day in the Limelight: "Revenge of the Fireflies", "Fubuki Retires?!", "The Green Fugitive", and "Sorceress of the Sky".
Freudian Excuse: He was born a sickly, weak child; who then grew up to believe that strength was the only way to get through in life.
I Let Gwen Stacy Die: Had a growing relationship with another Ace Pilot Ai before her jet went missing (and is considered crashed) in a storm trying to rescue Fubuki from it. When Banes disguises herself as Ai, Fubuki falls for her charms easily.
Murder Is the Best Solution: In contrast to Musashi who wants to save all monsters, Fubuki is more pragmatic and prefers to pull the trigger the moment a monster starts moving towards a city. Overtime he joins Musashi's mindest, despite the mockery from his former JADF colleagues.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Spring Breeze Duo dynamic, with Musashi being Hot-Blooded Friend to All Living Things and Fubuki being The Stoic with Hidden Heart of Gold.
The Rival: With Musashi. Hiura likes to make them work together, but Fubuki finds Musashi's pacifistic attitude to be naive. Though this fades as the series progresses and Fubuki grows to appreciate and embrace the pacifist ideals of Musashi.
Took a Level in Kindness: As the series progresses he goes from opposing Musashi's ideals to fully embracing them and seeing Musashi as a close and true friend, rather than a rival. Likewise, when he is ascended to the position of Captain, he maintains the pacifist ideals of Musashi.
Tragic Keepsake: The Cool Shades he wears while in TECCH are revealed to come from Ai Misaki, who died in a crash.

Others

Dr. Noboru Kawaya

Played by: Shigeki Kagemaru

The head doctor of the SRC medical branch. Dr. Kawaya is a talented physician, but despised by all the women in the organization (including EYES) for his lustfulness and constant attempts to woo them. Nevertheless, he is very dedicated to his many loves.

Chivalrous Pervert: Despite his playboy attitude, Dr. Kawaya is very loyal to the women he loves. Best shown in his debut, where he takes a bullet for the Alien Srayu Lamia to save her from JADF officers.
The Medic: He serves as EYES' doctor.

Ikeyama

A close friend of Musashi who works in SRC's Monster Observation Facility on the Kapuya Islands where many of the monsters pacified by Cosmos dwell.

JADF (Jointed Armed Defense Force)

In General

Another faction in charge of dealing with Kaiju, unlike EYES, prefers to utilize brute force and kill Kaiju outright. They often clash with EYES on how to deal with Kaiju.

Commander Sahara

The leading figure of JADF. Despite his position, he's fairly reasonable and is willing to listen to EYES' advice more often than most of his subordinates.

Reasonable Authority Figure: Compared to most of his fellow JADF members, he takes far less convincing in order to work alongside EYES.

Vice-Commander Shishikura

Sahara's right-hand man, and equally as reasonable in spite of his preference of violence against Kaiju.

Naval Officer Saijo

An arrogant, rude and stubborn officer under Sahara. Unlike his superiors, he dislikes having to work outright with EYES and often antagonizes them.

Hate Sink: Like Shigemura before him. He's arrogant, rude, stubborn even when proven wrong and usually makes the situation at hand worse by employing unnecessary violence even when the situation has been de-escalated.
Humans Are the Real Monsters: Unlike most humans in the series, even fellow JADF members, he's straight-up unlikable with little to no redeeming qualities of any kind.
Smug Snake: In spite of his inability to ever solve the problems of save the day, he will insist that EYES are "incompetent" and keep trying to overtake their operations.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: To Shigemura, being an irrational, petty and smug officer who makes things harder for EYES to solve.

Chaos Header

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chaos_7.jpg

Chaos Header's default form

^{Chaos Darkness}

^{Click here for spoilers}

First Appearance: Reunion with the Light

Voiced by: Koji Haramaki

The series' Big Bad. Chaos Header is a malevolent entity from space composed of thousands of tiny virus-like organisms made out of a light-like energy. It seeks to change and corrupt all life in the universe, infecting and transforming various monsters in order to remake Earth into its own twisted image. Several times in the series, Chaos Header takes on a physical form or becomes an evil clone of the hero called Chaos Ultraman to battle Cosmos.

Adaptive Ability: On top of learning about humanity in general, like a virus, it gradually gains resistance to EYES' weapons and Cosmos' Finishing Moves.
The Assimilator: Chaos Header believes that the fact that all living creatures have differing thoughts is the ultimate cause of conflict, thus it infects them with its own essence, assimilating their minds into its own and creating "order".
Barrier Warrior: Its final form, Chaos Darkness, can create a purple energy barrier to block attacks.
Batman Gambit: It disguised as the third Eligal and baited Cosmos to use Luna Extract and thus waste his energy. Then it reveals itself and Curb-Stomp Battle ensues.
Big Bad: Of the series proper.
Bishōnen Line: A good example with its purified form, Chaos Header 0, which is angelical and more humanoid looking than its previous transformations.
The Corruption: Chaos Header transforms creatures into evil and twisted versions of themselves that Cosmos has to either purify or destroy depending on the situation.
- It can also create evil versions of beings it infects if it chooses to.
Demonic Possession: Chaos Header specializes in taking over the bodies of other creatures — humans, animals, monsters, aliens, and even robots. In their corrupted forms, they become uncontrollably evil and often gain new powers or a demonic appearance.
Eldritch Abomination: A mass of virus-like beings that seek to corrupt all beings in the universe in order to form a new cosmic order.
Energy Absorption: In its physical forms, Chaos Header is able to drain energy from Ultraman Cosmos, which it uses in its first battle with him to analyze Cosmos' powers and combat tactics.
- Later on, it absorbs some of Cosmos' energy attacks to grow more powerful and even absorbs some of Cosmos' light to become Chaos Ultraman.
Energy Being: Since the microorganisms that compose its body are made of a light-like substance.
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: As Musashi observes in Episode 26, Chaos Header is fascinated with negative human emotions like anger and sadness, but happiness and love disturb and confuse it to the point of weakening.
Evil Knockoff: When not corrupting other beings, Chaos Header instead creates an evil doppelganger of them, which it does to Golmede, Parastan, and Eligal. However, Chaos Header need to collect their DNA to do this.
- Later on, Chaos Header absorbs some of Ultraman Cosmos' light from the Cosmos Pluck, allowing it to transform into the evil doppelganger, Chaos Ultraman (or Chaos Ultraman Calamity when it gets a power boost).
Eye Beams: Chaos Header can fire bolts of chaos energy from its eyes in all its physical forms, which is derived from one of its abilities in its normal light form.
Gone Horribly Wrong: As EYES learns from an alien document recovered from the ruins of a planet, Chaos Header was created by an exinct alien race to bring order to the universe. However, the entity believed order could only be achieved violently and imposed its will by devastating planets and corrupting or killing native lifeforms as a result.
Good Hurts Evil: Positive emotions weaken Chaos Header's infections over anything that its corrupted.
- In the finale, Musashi discovers that Chaos Header's capacity for evil suggests a capacity for goodness, so as he tries to tap into the goodness in Chaos Header's heart alongside the cries of his monster friends, causing the entity to become temporarily stunned with each attempt. Though it's averted when Cosmos uses a Full Moon Rect on the weakened Chaos Header, as it purifies the entity into a being of good.
Guardian Entity: As Chaos Header 0, as it serves as the guardian of Planet Juran, watching over both Kaiju and humans.
Hand Blast: Chaos Darkness, possesses a number of such abilities; all very powerful.
- The Chaos Light Bullets are small energy blasts that can cause large explosions, covering several city blocks with fire.
- The Dark Destroyer charges up a massive energy ball that fire with tremendous force, pushing back whatever it hits hundreds of yards. It even shattered Cosmos' Golden Barrier!
- The Crimson Break is done with red energy blasts shot into the ground, creating a massive, explosive fissure of chaos energy.
Heel–Face Turn: After managing to find Chaos Header's hidden goodness, Musashi ultimately purifies the villain, transforming the evil entity into the angelic Chaos Header Zero. As Chaos Header thanks Musashi for the deed, even Ultraman Cosmos is left impressed by Musashi for his determination to redeem the villain — something that even he never considered.
- Taken a step further in Ultraman Saga, where Musashi reveals that the redeemed Chaos Header has become the new guardian of a rejuvenated Juran, watching over the planet-turned-monster sanctuary and protecting its inhabitants.
I Am Legion: Whenever Chaos Header speaks, it refers himself as "we", as it's a hive mind of tiny but malevolent microorganisms. After becoming Chaos Header 0 this is no longer its way of speaking, however.
Intangibility: In mist form it can shoot lasers, but return fire just passes right through it.
It Can Think: Initially EYES believed it's some sort of Hate Plague that so happened to enter Earth's atmosphere. Turns out it's been targeting the planet deliberately, and it's not its first one.
Kryptonite Factor: The reason why Chaos Header cannot infect the same victims over and over again is because they develop an antibody that makes them immune (or at least highly resistant) to Chaos Header's corruption. As the series progresses, EYES researches the anitbodies in hopes of creating a formula that will destroy Chaos Header.
- Chaos Header is also weakened by a type of mineral found on the Moon dubbed SOAAG by EYES, which the team combines with the antibody and Mazalgas' Chaos Chimera enzyme during the events of the finale.
Light Is Not Good: Its most basic form resembles particles of bright light, which EYES initially assumes to be some kind of marvelous cosmic spectacle when it first appears. Then said light releases a beam of energy that destroys an entire city!
- Averted with Chaos Header 0, its purified form, which is colored a bright golden and is a being of pure good, going as far as becoming a Guardian Entity on Juran.
Mind over Matter: In its physical forms, Chaos Header can fire waves of telekinetic energy that force push whatever they hit. They get more powerful with each new form, eventually escalating to outright telekinesis.
Mysterious Mist: By default it looks like a cloud of rainbow dust, and its idendity remained unknown for a long time.
One-Winged Angel: Three times in the series Chaos Header take on a dark and demonic physical form to battle Ultraman Cosmos.
- The first was in "The Power to Defeat Chaos" as Chaos Header Iblis.
- Second was as Chaos Header Mebut in "Dreaming of Courage".
- Finally, as Chaos Darkness in the series finale.
The Power of Hate: Chaos Header manifests in physical forms if it has absorbed a sufficient amount of negative emotions. If not sacrificing a living being will do instead.
- In the finale, Chaps Header its own hatred for Ultraman Cosmos to become Chaos Darkness.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: In all its physical forms, though whenever Chaos Header forms a face in its light form, it has this trait.
- Also, those infected by it or its creations have them as well.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: It seeks absolute order, and believes that infecting all creatures with its virus and extinguishing free will is going to achieve that goal.
Worf Effect: Since gaining Cosmos's powers, he always gave the ultra a one sided brutal beatdown, and comes very close to killing him in every encounter they had.
- Worf Had the Flu: However, Cosmos did mentione that he has become weak after their fight. Although, it is possible that he still would have given Cosmos a run for his money.

Monsters and Aliens

Lidorias

First Appearance: Reunion with the Light

A peaceful bird-like monster that dwells on the Kapuya Islands. As Musashi often spends time on the island, Lidorias has a close bond with him and occasionally assists him in battling other monsters. Unfortunately, Lidorias is also the first victim of Chaos Header, who corrupts her into Chaos Lidorias. She also often makes cameos when Ultraman Cosmos appears in other series.

Benevolent Monsters: Like many kaiju in this series, Lidorias is a gentle creature that will help humans if necessary. Naturally, this makes it the first target of Chaos Header.
Breakout Character: Lidorias is the most iconic monster in Ultraman Cosmos and often appears in merchandise or makes background appearances in other series whenever Cosmos makes an appearance, though obviously being a peaceful monster, she hasn't been placed against any other Ultra heroes and usually appears as a cameo alongside fellow monsters, Golmede, Mogrudon and Bolgils.
Breath Weapon: Breathes a beam of blue energy.
Gentle Giant: Establishing one of the major tropes for kaiju in this series, Lidorias is a purely peaceful monster that does not actively seek to attack humans and is quite friendly with Musashi Haruno.
Giant Flyer: Like all bird kaiju.
Homage: Lidorias is based on Litra (note the similarity of their names) from Ultra Q, another benevolent bird kaiju who is enemies with a brutish and aggressive reptilian Kaiju.
Superpowered Evil Side: Chaos Lidorias, the first creation of Chaos Header.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Her eyes also grow narrower to emphasize her corruption.
- Spikes of Villainy: She grows spikes all over her neck.
- Wolverine Claws: She gains huge scythe-like claws.
Undying Loyalty: Lidorias is extremely loyal to Musashi. A few times in the series, Lidorias will sense that Musashi is in danger and fly all the way from the Kapuya Islands in order to fight whatever monster is endangering her human friend.

Golmede

First Appearance: Chaos Header's Shadow

The mortal enemy of Lidorias awoken by Chaos Header to fight EYES. But when Ultraman Cosmos appears to help Lidorias and EYES battle it, Chaos Header creates a corrupted clone of the monster called Chaos Golmede to fight in the dinosaur-like kaiju's place. Later on, a second Golmede dubbed Golmede Beta rampages after the JADF capture and experiment on it to create a bio-weapon. This one is later sent to lie on the Kapuya Islands (away from Lidorias, of couse).

Archenemy: Of Lidorias. Though that doesn't stop him from teaming up with her when the Glokers invader Earth Ultraman Cosmos vs Ultraman Justice.
Art Evolution: The second Golmede is covered in light yellowy blotches around its neck and limbs in comparison to the original Golmede's fully brown skin.
Breath Weapon: Breathes fire.
Energy Absorption: Gains this ability as Golmede Beta due to the JADF's cruel experiments on it, absorbing any and all attacks and their energy to increase its strength and that of its flame breath. However, Golmede Beta must constantly replenish its energy as a result, putting the kaiju in a perpetual state of agony as its energy perpetually diminishes to near-fatal levels.
Evil Knockoff: Chaos Header creates Chaos Golmede by collecting its DNA and corrupting it into a new creature.
- Kick the Dog: Chaos Golmede's very first action is to brutally attack and wound the real Golmede, which angers Cosmos into transforming into his Corona Mode.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Chaos Golmede has glowing red eyes, while its armoured head becomes bright red with a large crest.
Homage: Of Gomess from Ultra Q, another dinosaur-like kaiju with a peaceful bird kaiju as its archenemy.
Non-Malicious Monster: Although Golmede can be a dangerous and violent creature if aroused to anger (such as being awoken by Chaos Header or tortured by the JADF), it is content to keep to itself and prefers to stay away from humans.
Tragic Monster: Golmede Beta, full stop. EYES is disgusted by the JADF abusing and torturing the monster into a living weapon, and Musashi is especially saddened by the monster's pain and torment, considering it to be the equivalent of a frightened and wounded animal.
Tunnel King: Gomede prefers to stay underground, only coming up to the surface when disturbed.

Spittle

First Appearance: Fly, Musashi!

A frog-like monster that lives underground, but suddenly started to come to the surface to rampage for some reason. It normally keeps its head hidden within an armoured cone that can open up like a flower. It is also one of the inhabitants of the Kapuya Islands.

Achilles' Heel: Has a small bright red organ on the back of its neck that is particularly sensitive to anesthetic.
Homage: Its cone-head armour design is inspired by Gabora from the original Ultraman.
Monster Is a Mommy: It had an egg underground near the airport, which is why it refused to leave the area despite the sounds of airplanes disturbing it.
Non-Malicious Monster: Musashi discovers that Spittle was rampaging because the sounds of airplanes flying above it were driving it crazy, so EYES and Cosmos decide to move the monster and its egg somewhere else instead.
Super Spit: As Spittle's name suggests, it relies mainly on its slime-like spit, which has explosive properties.
Tunnel King: Its a very fast burrower, able to make quick u-turns and escape by digging in a matter of minutes.

Igomas

First Appearance: The Fallen Robot

Voiced by: Hiroshi Ishi

A giant toy robot from the planet Bibin that fell to Earth when it was disposed of by its even more gigantic owner due to its obsolescence and low battery. It befriends a trio of children named Nakazawa, Ryu, and Naoko on landing, but when it discovers the reason why it was thrown away, it goes a furious rampage!

Cool Toy: And they don't get much cooler than a kaiju-sized alien robot!
Good Old Robot: Played with. Igomas' owner got rid of him because he was completely obsolete (the batteries he needed were no longer available) and treated him as garbage to be tossed away. However, the children he befriends consider him their dear friend regardless of his obsolescence, and when Igomas "dies", they decide to keep him around and work towards making it a new battery so future generations will be able play to play with it.
Humongous Mecha: Correction. Humongous toy mecha.
Living Toys: Although Igomas is just a toy, he is fully self-aware, has a human-like personality, and is capable of learning and sympathizing with others.
My Little Panzer: Justified, as his owners were absolutely gargantuan aliens, so Igomas would be mere action figures to them.
Transforming Mecha: He spends most of the episode is a compacted form resembling a strange-looking building.
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Igomas was treated as replaceable merchandise by his alien owners despite being as intelligent as a human, while the kids consider him an equal and are deeply saddened by Igomas' anger at his own obsolescence.

Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti: Looks the part.
Friend to All Children: Yamawarawa prefers to make itself only visible to children and likes to make friends with any children he meets in the forest. However, he has a hard time accepting the fact that when the kids grow up, they will forget about him and just consider him a fairy tale — something that both angers and saddens him.
Hulking Out: When angered, Yamawarawa changes his size to that of a kaiju and increases the length of his horns and shoulder spikes.
I Just Want to Have Friends: The reason why he likes to befriend children he encounters in the forest is because he doesn't like being lonely. It's also why Yamawarawa is saddened when the children he befriends grow up and forget about him.

Tastes Like Friendship: Yamawarawa likes to hand out offerings of fruit to those he wishes to befriend.

A bronze statuette created by an alien long ago as a gift for humanity. It possesses the power to absorb stress and anger, but excessive amounts of it causes the statuette to turn into a rampaging kaiju!

Energy Absorption: Absorbs stress in the form of energy, but too much of it makes it violent.
Eye Beams: When in its kaiju form, Geshot can fire out the stress it has absorbed in the form of laser blasts. They don't harm people but they do cause people to become stressful and take it out violently. They also come in a limited amount based on how much stress Geshot has absorbed.
Gone Horribly Right: Humans sealed inside an enchanted glass container because even though it was extremely effective at removing stress, Geshot had no way relieving the stress it absorbed.

An animated skeleton of the (fictional) herding dinosaur species Murancraphodon. Construction workers found it sleeping at the end of a tunnel and called in EYES to get it out of the tunnel somehow.

Dem Bones: It's a fossil skeleton animated by its own unwillingness to die without seeing its child one last time.
Gentle Giant: Mudon's species is stated to be herbivorous and they live in family groups, so the kaiju is completely peaceful. However, it does go berserk in the climax as it is angry that the fossils of its child were taken from it.
Homage: Mudon borrows heavily from Seabozu and Skydon, in its appearance and how EYES deals with it respectively.
Horn Attack: During its battle with Ultraman Cosmos, it manages to gore him badly enough that Cosmos is forced to retreat!
Monster Is a Mommy: Turns out to be a mother dinosaur whose child's fossils were taken away from it, so it refused to move from the site they were buried until it became angry at humans for taking away the bones and rampaged. So EYES creates a model of the child's skeleton that Cosmos brings to life.
No Body Left Behind: Mudon dissolves into a pile of powdered stone after being united with its child.
Punny Name: Ayano came up with its name from "Don't move" with the syllables reversed, as Mudon doesn't move out of the tunnel it was found in (at least until the episode's climax).
Quieting the Unquiet Dead: Rather than killing her, Cosmos and EYES instead decide to find a way to put her to rest. It works.
Tears of Joy: Upon reuniting with her baby.

Ephemera

First Appearance: The Brightness of Life

A peaceful mayfly-like kaiju that only appears once every 500 years and lives only for a day, maturing from a baby to an adult (but not changing in appearance) during that short span of a life.

Big Creepy-Crawlies: A mayfly, in this case.
Gentle Giant: It is a peaceful kaiju whose only goal is to lay its egg. This doesn't stop the JADF from trying to destroy it though. Tragically, they succeed, but the egg survives and is sent to be cared for at the Kapuya Islands.
Meaningful Name: As Fubuki explains, it's name is derived from Greek for "living for only a day".
Non-Malicious Monster: Ephemera destroys an abandoned factory in its infant stage, but that's the only destruction it causes (with no casualties). It then proceeds to play with the rubble until it reaches adult stage, where it begins to build a nest from the wreckage for the next Ephemera.
Shock and Awe: Can shoot lightning from its antennae if angered.
Short-Lived Organism: It has a twenty four-hour lifespan. Cosmos keeps it confined to an open field rather than killing it outright, with the monster dying on its own when its lifespan is spent.

He resurrected the woman with a Bio-Chip and sent her to Earth as an amnesiac agent, intending to use her to sabotage EYES and capture Musashi. A second Waroga attacks later on, determined to destroy Ultraman Cosmos and EYES.

Achilles' Heel: His eyes are his weak point,as damaging them prevents him from using his powers.
Blade Below the Shoulder: His arms end in a pair of sword-like appendages that can also shoot laser bolts.

Invisibility: Waroga uses this in the battle against Cosmos to baffle him. However, his reflection is still visible in the lake nearby, allowing Cosmos to strike him down.

Red Eyes, Take Warning: His sole facial feature.
Shock and Awe: Can shoot lightning from his eyes.
Vader Breath: His "roar".
Voluntary Shapeshifting: In order to fly, he can transform himself into an orb of purple energy with only his red eyes visible.

A peaceful kaiju that was awoken by Alien Waroga and mind controlled by the invader in order to destroy cities while he and his mind-controlled human focused on sabotaging EYES and the JADF.

Brainwashed and Crazy: Thanks to Alien Waroga's Bio-Chip, though EYES remains unaware of this and is completely confused by Galbas' sudden rampage.
Breath Weapon: Breathes fire.
Non-Malicious Monster: Galbas is normally a peaceful monster, but starts rampaging due to Alien Waroga's mind control, although the JADF doesn't care and will have it killed either way.
Tunnel King: Normally lived underground, so naturally,, Galbas is a good burrower.

The Power of Hate: Chaos Jirak is virtually unstoppable due to Akane's intense hatred and disillusionment at having her hopes and dreams crushed by her friends. It's only after a passionate speech by her friends about following your dreams does Akane finally become calm enough for Cosmos to purify Chaos Jirak.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: As Chaos Jirak, since it's a Chaos Header monster.

Voiced by: Moriya Endo

A race of aliens desperately seeking a new home for their enormous population. They are divided between the peaceful Scientist-Types and aggressive Soldier-Types.

Achilles' Heel: In their first appearance, their most vulnerable spot is the very top of their heads. However, in their reappearance, the Soldier-Types have outfitted themselves with automatic force field projections to block that weak point.
Doppelgänger Spin: Their super speed can create illusions of themselves.
Cyclops: Soldier-Type Gigi come in three variations: red-eyed, blue-eyed ones, and yellow-eyed. The former two have only one visor-shaped eye, while the latter has bulging eyes. Scientist-Types like Dr. XX01 only come in a single variation — two small magenta eyes.
Eye Beams: Soldier-Types can fire beams from their eyes (yellow, blue, or red, depending on the colour of the individuals eyes). In giant form, the Gigi can rotate their three faces rapidly to fire a barrage of beams.
Fusion Dance: Soldier-Types merge themselves into a three-faced giant, which they typically do to battle Ultraman Cosmos. However, they can also split back into three giant-sized versions of themselves (or re-merge) when needed.
Gravity Master: Their eye beams can manipulate gravity.
Homage: To Dada from the original Ultraman. Both have three faces (Dada changes faces at random while Soldier-Type Gigi only has them in giant form), wield shrink rays, speak in Pokémon Speak, have mime-like skin, and names with repeating katakana letters.
Intangibility: They can can phase through walls at will.
Pokémon Speak: They only say "gi-gi" unless they're wearing their translation devices.
Samus Is a Girl: Dr XX01 is revealed at the last minute to be female. EYES didn't realize it because her translation device had a masculine voice.
Scientist vs. Soldier: Their entire society is based on this. As Dr. XX01 explains, they are completely divided between Soldier-Type and Scientist-Type, with the two groups divided on whether their species should migrate to Earth.
Shrink Ray: Their preferred weapon. However, it can also do the reverse if the Gigi wielding it chooses to use it that way. Dr. XX01 uses it to turn Clevergon into a giant to assist Cosmos against the Soldier-Types.
Super-Speed: They move so quickly they look like they're teleporting.
Translator Collar: The Gigi wear these to communicate with the human characters.

Renki

First Appearance: The Legend of Mt. Nibito

Voiced by: Miho Aoyama and Tadashi Katsumata

An updated version of Renki called Gurenki appeared in Ultraman Orb, making Renki one of the only Cosmos monsters to have fought other Ultramen.

Ascended to a Higher Plane of Existence: When Vice-Captain Shinobu explains that the hardships of love that make it all the more worthwhile and that one should not take out their anger for their own failed loves on others' loves, the two souls that make up the demon leave the body as it fades away, soaring higher into the sky until they vanished into the next life.
Bilingual Bonus: Renki means "Love Ghost" in Japanese, which accurately describes its origins.

Our Demons Are Different / Our Ghosts Are Different: Renki is an evil spirit formed from the sorrow and anger of the ghosts of two lovers.
Sealed Evil in a Can: Was sealed underneath a sacred stone at Mt. Nibito by a powerful samurai, only to be released in the modern era.
Tragic Monster: Case in point: When Captain Hiura explains the backstory of Renki, Ayano feels great pity for Renki, comparing the story to Romeo and Juliet. Vice-Captain Shinobu also shows great sympathy towards Renki, and it is her speech on the trials of love that puts the ghosts to rest.
Voice of the Legion: Renki speaks in two voices at once — that of the samurai and that of the princess.

Gelworm is able to take on the appearance of other creatures, and uses this ability to try get back to the meteorite when the object is taken to a university for study, causing doppelganger sightings all around the campus.

Cyclops: Only has a single yellow eye.
Non-Malicious Monster: Gelworm was just trying to get back to the meteorite it came from without any intention of harming people because a female of some relation it loves (the characters ponder whether it was its mate, mother, sister, or girlfriend) is still trapped on the meteorite.
Sizeshifter: The reason why Gelworm is able to take on the form of humans despite being so tiny that people can't even feel it crawling on their shoulder. Eventually, it goes berserk in the climax and turns itself kaiju-sized.

EMP: All electronics within a large radius of Gragas short-circuit due to its massive electromagnetic field.
Energy Absorption: Gragas feeds on electricity, which it uses to increase its size to battle Ultraman Cosmos.
I Surrender, Suckers: Does this to Cosmos by fleeing, prompting Cosmos to leave until Gragas blasts him from behind with electric bolts.
Invisible to Normals: The only person who can see Gragas for most of the episode is a friend of Ayano named Jun. Even then, it was solely because a car accident had put Jun in a coma, allowing his spirit to wander about and see other invisible beings.

First Appearance: A Space Monster is Born on Earth

A pregnant kaiju that arrives on Earth in order to give birth. Zaranga must give birth in the ocean, so EYES has to help guide it to its birthing grounds.

Gentle Giant: Zaranga is a completely peaceful creature, so the only work EYES and Cosmos had to do was get it to the ocean safely without anyone getting hurt.
Playing with Fire: Zaranga's body temperature increases the closer it gets to childbirth, causing it to scorch the ground with its footsteps, burn anything in comes in contact with, and gain the ability to breath fire. Because, this intense heat can be fatal to her, it needs to give birth in the ocean to cool off.

Eligal

Homage: His design and name are modeled after Crazygon from Ultraseven. And when turned into Chaos Clevergon, he even starts "eating" cars.

Breath Weapon: Breathes fire.
Cyborg: As Neldorand Mechalator. However, the implants are slowly killing the monster due to their alien origin and the abuse Neldorand is subjected to during the transformation.
Gentle Giant: Neldorand is a completely peaceful kaiju that prefers to remain underground, but circumstances force the creature on to the surface where it becomes a target for those interested in hurting it.
Shout-Out: Neldorand Mechalator appears during a sunset and its subsequent battle with Cosmos mimics Ultraseven's battle with Alien Metron (which also took place at sunset).
Superpowered Evil Side: Chaos Neldorand, who gains armor on its head and shoulders.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: As is typical of Chaos Header-infected monsters.
Tragic Monster: Mechalator Neldorand was originally a peaceful monster until the Nowar aliens converted it into a weapon.
Tunnel King: Like Golmede, Neldorand is primarily a subterranean kaiju, hiding underneath rocky and mountainous regions away from any who would dare to bother it.

Gaia's Vengeance: Created to punish those who pollute the ocean. However, its creators do allow those who awaken it to redeem themselves by taking the mystic conch that controls Reycura and placing it at the god's stone shrine to deactivate the monster.
Golem: A huge statue of an ocean deity made to carry out the god's wrath and will.
Living Statue: Since it's meant to be the civilization's sea god in statue form that's usually half-buried at the bottom of the ocean.
Spring Jump: Despite being a statue, Reycura was able to leap straight from the bottom of the sea to land in a single jump.

Ragstone

First Appearance: The Magic Stone

An alien monster that feeds on emotions, Ragstone came to Earth disguised as a strange stone that inducted athletes and scientists into a cult that improved their physical or intellectual capability as the monster consumed their emotions. Later on, Alien Nowar transforms the monster into a cyborg called Ragstone Mechalator and sends it to attack EYES in an attempt to capture a baby Arados.

Cyborg: As Ragstone Mechalator.
Cyclops: Has only one orange eye.
Emotion Eater: Ragstone consumes the emotions of those it mind controls, turning them into pseudo-robots that gain increased intelligence or athleticism in return. It becomes more powerful the more emotions it consumes and its spaceship can gather emotion energy to further power up Ragstone.
Eye Beams: Shoots a beam of energy from its eye that drains emotions and mind controls people.
The Juggernaut: It was completely unfazed by Cosmos Eclipse Mode's Naybuster Ray!
Mind Control: What it does to humans in order to feed on their emotions.
Our Monsters Are Weird: It's a one-eyed alien rock monster that feeds on emotions and turns people into mindless zombies!
Rock Monster: An extraterrestrial one.
Villain: Exit, Stage Left: Cosmos manages to purify Ragstone, driving out all the emotions it has consumed back into its victims bodies, forcing the monster to go back into its spaceship and leave Earth. Ragstone does end up returning when Alien Nowar turns it into a cyborg though.
Voluntary Shapeshifting: It can disguise itself as a small orange stone with a single eye and small spikes, allowing it to still fire its eye beams. Its spaceship disguises itself as a bizarre-looking temple for its "worshipers" as well.
You Have Failed Me: After Ragstone flees Cosmos, Alien Nowar uses the same torturous methods of creating cyborgs he does on other monsters to create Ragstone Mechalator as punishment.

Mahagenom

First Appearance: The Mountain of Youkai

An evil youkai long ago sealed by Yamawarawa near Hidaka Village. However, Mahagenom escapes and goes on a rampage in the present, forcing Yamawarawa to return to his ancestral home to subdue the demon with the help of EYES.

Archenemy: Of Yamawarawa.
Badass Normal: Despite possessing no powers, Mahagenom was strong enough that Ultraman Cosmos and EYES needed help from Yamawarawa to defeat him, and even then, the best they could do was simply imprison it again.
Red and Black and Evil All Over: Almost completely red and black, and indeed, very much evil.
Sealed Evil in a Can: Was imprisoned by Yamawarawa long ago underneath a mountain near Hidaka Village, but eventually escaped to rampage again. However, only Yamawarawa knows the ritual to re-imprison Mahagenom.
Youkai: Dosn't seem to be based on any examples from real-world folklore though.

Taildas

First Appearance: Fubuki Retires?!

A peaceful but easily frightened monster that gets a powerful missile stuck in its back armor. As EYES figures out how to remove the unstable missile, Chaos Header infects it and turns it into Chaos Taildas! Afterwards, the monster is placed on the Kapuya Islands with other monsters pacified by Cosmos, but a second one is captured by Alien Nowar and turned into the cyborg Taildas Mechalator.

Cyborg: As Taildas Mechalator. However, it dies shortly afterwards as the transformation is extremely agonizing and the alien nature of the cybernetics are harming the monster's body.
Extra Eyes: Has six eyes, although as Chaos Taildas, they merge into two eyes.
In a Single Bound: Able to leap good distances, almost like a frog.
Non-Malicious Monster: Although Taildas is first seen rampaging without any explanation, the kaiju is not a malevolent creature — just a panicked one.
Superpowered Evil Side: Chaos Taildas.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: The sole difference of Chaos Taildas from the normal one is its red eyes
Tail Slap: As his name suggests, his preferred weapon is his tail.
Tunnel King: Taildas is primarily a subterranean monster, and he spends a lot of the episode burrowing to flee from things that frighten it.

Hellzking

First Appearance: Old Man Alien

An organic robot created by the Beryl aliens to invade Earth. It comes in the form of a bizarre spaceship to absorb energy, eventually becoming its true form to battle Ultraman Cosmos. Later on, the JADF reconstruct it as Hellzking Revised, using the Chaos Header-damaging mineral SOAAG in hopes of using it to destroy Chaos Header. However, the robot ends up going rogue.

Achilles' Heel: The only weak spot on Hellzking's body is his neck. Damaging that area will cause Hellzking to malfunction.
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Hellzking Revised remembers the purpose of the original Hellzking, causing the robot to go rogue.
Arm Cannon: Is equipped with laser cannons inside its wrists that it can reveal and hide at will. When upgraded to Hellzking Revised, the JADF replace these with SOAAG disintegration cannons capable of evaporating even a mountain.
Cyber Cyclops: Has only a single yellow eye.
Energy Absorption: Hellzking can create tendrils from its body in spaceship form that sap up electricity, allowing it to gain enough energy to transform into its robot form.
Humongous Mecha: A gigantic organic robot, to be exact.
Organic Technology: Doigaki's analysis of the monster's composition reveals that Hellzking is less of a machine and more of a living being with robotic qualities.
Transforming Mecha: Hellzking's usual form is a three-pronged spaceship. However, to transform, it completely restructures itself rather than sprouting limbs and a head lie most examples.

Alien Beryl

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

First Appearance: Old Man Alien

Voiced by: Shoichiro Akaboshi (also human form actor)

Alien invaders who come to Earth and take over the bodies of humans to plot out Hellzking's attack on Earth. The problem for Musashi, as he tries to track down the alien suspects, is that he's not sure which one is the invader — a schoolgirl named Kaori Kusano or her quirky father Tadao Kusano.

Aliens Among Us: The problem for Musashi is he doesn't know who's the alien!
Becoming the Mask: The Beryl in Tadao's body had come to Earth with the same intentions as his companion, but taking over the body a family man, he came to love Tadao's daughter and wife as they were his own and eventually defected.
The Dog Was the Mastermind: The invader turns out to be in the body of an incidental police officer that Musashi, Tadao, and Kaori ran into a few times. However, Tadao is also an Alien Beryl — just no longer on the same side as his companion.
Starfish Aliens: Their true form is a bizarre floating creature with tentacles of energy.
Trademark Favorite Food: The Beryl aliens really love takoyaki.

First Appearance: The Green Fugitive

Portrayed by: Etsuko Mizutani

An alien from the K57 system that came to Earth, fleeing the Exter Raider.

Last of Her Kind: She's the last surviving Alien Greenbelt after the Exterians managed to wipe out the rest in a war.
Plant Aliens: According to supplementary sources.
We Hardly Knew Ye: She only appears for a single scene at the start of the episode, kickstarting the story.

First Appearance: The Green Fugitive

Portrayed by: Koichi Sugisaki

An android bounty hunter from the planet Exter in the K57 system assigned to kill members of Puratea's species. While he succeeds in killing Puratea, his programming causes him to mistake Puratea's essence in Kazumi's body for another Alien Greenbelt.

Bounty Hunter: The unseen Exter aliens hired him to kill all their enemies.
Deceptively Human Robots: Technically Human Alien robots, but for an advanced killer android, he's completely emotionless and unquestioning in orders like a lesser robot.

Super-Strength: Able to pick up a car with his bare hands.

The Exter Raider's AI-controlled spaceship sent to finish the job of killing the Greenbelt-infected Kazumi after the android bounty hunter was killed by Fubuki. It takes on the form a giant robot in order to accomplish the task.

Cool Spaceship: What else do you call a bounty hunter's spaceship that can turn into a giant robot?
Eye Beams: Sidebackter's primary ability is to fire blue lasers from its "eye", which is derived from its spaceship form's weaponry.
Humongous Mecha: A giant spaceship kaiju.

First Appearance: Friend

A peaceful space monster that was corrupted by Chaos Header into the vicious Chaos Delgoran, driving it to fly to Earth and battle Ultraman Cosmos.

Breath Weapon: Breathes fire.
Gentle Giant: Delgoran is a friendly and peaceful kaiju that was very much tolerant of the aliens who were studying it and prefers to mind its own business.
Giant Flyer: Its ray-like wings allow it soar through space.
Spin Attack: Can spin itself rapidly to churn up blinding clouds of dust.
Superpowered Evil Side: Chaos Delgoran, which can retract the wings at will to use normal arms, thanks to Chaos Header's monster-mutating powers.

- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Five of them!

Sol

First Appearance: Friend

Voiced by: Mami Matsui

A young alien who worked with his biologist father to study Delgoran. Unfortunately, their spaceship was destroyed and Sol's father was killed when the monster became Chaos Delgoran, leaving Sol stranded on a planetoid. Desperately searching for help, Sol managed to make contact with an Earthling — a lonely high school student named Shunji Hoimura.

He Who Must Not Be Seen: He and his father wear robes that conceal their bodies for the episode, and all shots of him are from behind or the side. Only at the very end does he finally remove his hood, revealing white hair and pointy ears, but we see very little beyond that.

Alien Nowar

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

First Appearance: Puppet Monster

Voiced by: Tetsu Inada (also human form actor)

An evil alien whose species specializes in capturing monsters and transforming them into cyborg weapons, with the side effect of slowly killing them due to the torturous experimentation involved in the process. After driving all the monsters of his homeworld to extinction, he turns his attention to Earth and subjected a second Taildas and a third Neldorand to the process. Later on, a second Alien Nowar comes to Earth to capture a baby Arados and turn it into a cyborg.

Beyond Redemption: You know this trope applies when Cosmos, who has dedicated himself to preserving life whenever possible, decides to wipe out the last remaining members of the species.
Lack of Empathy: Alien Nowar cares nothing about the horrifying pain that is inflicted upon the monsters he turns into cyborgs. In fact, he is legitimately baffled at the fact that humans have not considered doing this to their planet's kaiju.
Killed Off for Real: The last invading Nowars are all taken out by Cosmos who, after watching the Baby Arados die saving him, destroys their spaceship by slicing it in half.
The Man Behind the Man: His species had sent Ragstone to Earth to study the planet.
Master of Illusion: Creates the illusion of a large group of children playing around a factory to lure Musashi into a trap.
Mirror Monster: Can travel between mirrors and reflective surfaces, as well as project images onto them (which he does to show Musashi what his species is doing to Neldorand).
The Mirror Shows Your True Self: In his human disguise, he still takes on his true form in front of a mirror. Also, shooting his reflection will harm him.
More Hateable Minor Villain: While Chaos Header is a terrifying force, it still has a degree of sympathy played for it as the series progresses and is ultimately a Well-Intentioned Extremist that's lost its way. The Alien Nowar are minor villains for some episodes but are nonetheless the show's darkest antagonists, painfully turning various innocent creatures into cyborgs against their will unlike Chaos Header lack any real excuse for their actions.
Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: In a show that's notably Lighter and Softer, Alien Nowar stands out as one of the darkest antagonist in the franchise. Enslaving, torturing, eventually killing hundreds of innocent monsters for their own personal gain.

Mugera

First Appearance: The Amusement Park Legend

Voiced by: Junko Shimakata

A legendary spirit who dwells in an amusement park and helps children. One day, the amusement park's owners are planning to close the place down and an enormous UFO appears over the place, leading EYES to investigate and discover Mugera is more than just a fairy tale.

Voiced by: Eisuke Tonoda (also human form actor)

A kindhearted alien who came to Earth and became the doctor for a small village, relying on an alien species of flower he brought with him to maintain his human disguise and create medicine. However, a meteorite spreads alien particles that taint his flowers one day, causing him to turn into a berserk giant every time he goes out to do his gathering.

Aliens Among Us: The villagers are fully aware that he is an alien, but they warmly welcome him as one of their own.
The Blank: In his true form, he is completely faceless, having one side completely smooth and featureless, the other being a series of strange patterns.
Brainwashed and Crazy: As a result of his flowers being tainted by the meteorite's dust, he briefly becomes a rampaging giant whenever he gathers from them.
Hand Blast: Can shoot purple lasers from his hands capable of causing fairly large explosions.
Mercy Kill: He begs Musashi to turn into Cosmos and kill him to put an end to his insanity episodes, but Musashi refuses, saying that Cosmos cannot kill other beings without reason. Instead, Cosmos purifies both Kyulia and his flowers, allowing him to remain as village doctor for many more years to come.
Nice Guy: He had actually just landed on Earth by accident, but came to love the people of the planet as much as Ultraman Cosmos does,. He is also more concerned about what his berserk episodes will do to the villagers than him.
Really 700 Years Old: He's been living among the villagers for 300 years.

Giragas

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

First Appearance: Sorceress of the Sky

Voiced by: Junichi Kawamoto (male), Nami Ishibashi (female)

A bizarre alien race made of humanoid males and symbiotic, bloodsucking females that resemble a pair of wings. An bronze-skinned individual dubbed GiriBanes (Giri is the male, Banes is the female) by EYES attacks Earth with the female impersonating Fubuki's deceased girlfriend Ai Misaki, but later on, a blue-skinned individual known only as Giragas comes to Earth, with the male intending to avenge GiriBanes' death while the female tries to reason with EYES.

Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism: Let us make this as clear as possible — the male is the Ultraman-like humanoid with the pointed chest and the female is the bloodsucking pair of wings with the red eyes, and they are the same species.
Brains and Brawn: The female is the brains (she does much of the communication with the human characters) and the male is the brawn (he mainly does the fighting with Ultraman Cosmos).
Driven to Suicide: The original male dies this way
Eye Beams: The female has this ability.
Hand Blast: The male can shoot laser beams from his claws.
Mind Control: The female possesses the ability to hypnotize humans into doing her bidding, although taking the form of their loved ones certainly helped out.
Our Vampires Are Different: The female drinks blood to survive (by biting the victim's neck) and can impersonate other people to get around on Earth, all while acting as a symbiote with the humanoid male.
The Symbiote: The female lives like one of the male's back, allowing the male to fly. She can separate as she wishes to operate on her own.
Wolverine Claws: The male is equipped with these.

Alukela

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

First Appearance: The Snow of Space

A monster that suddenly appears on Earth after EYES encounters a swarm of beautiful space-dwelling organisms nicknamed Snow Stars, only to suddenly collapse and begin dying for some reason.

Big Creepy-Crawlies: Resembles a giant firefly.
Breath Weapon: Breathes fire.
Female Monster Surprise: After Alukela dies, it turns out to have been a mother as its body releases thousands of Snow Stars (the creature's larval stage) that fly into space.
Non-Malicious Monster: Alukela does destroy a few buildings and attack EYES, but only because the team attacked it. In fact, as Alukela is dying, its cells suddenly begin to evolve, leading EYES to try destroy it out of fear of it metamorphosing into something worse and consequently causing the monster to regain all its strength and begin rampaging again.
Spell My Name With An S: Also called Alkela.

Vadata

First Appearance: Monster Smuggling!?

A monster that grows by feeding on poisons and drugs. Two were smuggled by two crooks who discovered them in a cave. EYES quickly caught on to the operation when one Vadata was found by the police, but the criminals have been injecting the second Vadata with powerful tranquilizers for easy escorting. Later on, it is sent to live on the Kapuya Islands.

Make My Monster Grow: Vadata is only about 50 centimeters tall when first discovered by the smugglers, but by injecting it with powerful tranquilizers, it ends up growing to 59 meters! Unfortunately, it also makes him more violent.
Non-Malicious Monster: Vadata is a peaceful monster, but poisons or drugs in its body cause it to become berserk, especially if they're very strong chemicals. Cosmos thus defeats Vadata by purifying the tranquilizers out of its system.

Mazalgas

First Appearance: Enemy of Chaos

A monster from space that is immune to Chaos Header's corruption and can consume Chaos Header's energies through its Chaos Chimera enzyme, Mazalgas provided exciting new possibilities against Chaos Header, However, the JADF attacked the monster with their powerful, new Dabidess-909 missiles, weakening Mazalgas enough for Chaos Header to take over it and create Chaos Mazalgas!

Breath Weapon: Mazalgas can spit blue orbs of energy that explode in the air, sending a shower of smaller energy orbs raining toward the ground and exploding. As Chaos Mazalgas, these are switched out for bolts of chaos energy.
Energy Absorption: Mazalgas' most potent power is its ability to absorb any form of energy by opening up the top of its head to suck it in. It used the ability to consume EYES' energy net, but more significantly for the team was its ability to even consume Chaos Header's essence without being corrupted, thanks to its Chaos Chimera enzyme. However, this power is weakened when Mazalgas is fatally weakened by the JADF's attacks.
Non-Malicious Monster: Mazalgas is described by Musashi as "Chaos Header's natural enemy", but the creature is solely interested in finding food, not in the battle between good and evil. Otherwise, the worst Mazalgas does is smash a JADF ammunitions plant when Chaos Header lures its predator over in order to frighten the JADF into attacking the monster.
Rolling Attack: Can curl itself into a ball-like form in order to fly through space.
Superpowered Evil Side: Chaos Mazalgas, the result of the monster being injured to the point of being unable to use its Energy Absorption powers, thus letting Chaos Header possess it.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Like all of Chaos Header's victims, Mazalgas gains red eyes.
- Spikes of Villainy: Its only physical difference from the original is the red spikes growing from the top of its head.
Tail Slap: Liked using this ability in combat.

Zageru

First Appearance: Transformation Impossible!?

A cowardly monster that appeared on Earth with its master June.

Barrier Warrior: Like June, Zageru can produce a force field, but this ability is nullified by Earth's atmosphere.
Breath Weapon: Breathes fire.
Non-Malicious Monster: Most of the rampaging that Zageru does is solely because it is easily scared.
Pet Monstrosity: Of June

Alien Koise June

First Appearance: Transformation Impossible!?

Portrayed by: Shiori Kanzaki

An alien stranded on Earth and rendered powerless by the planet's atmosphere, June stole the Cosmos Pluck from Musashi, hoping to use it restore her powers and that of her monster Zageru.

Barrier Warrior: Her species has the natural ability to produce force fields, though this is rendered null by Earth's atmosphere.
Human Aliens: Or at the very least, we never see her in her true form.

Arados

First Appearance: Future Monster

A species of monster that originates from five thousand years into the future with the ability to transcend time. A juvenile ends up in the present, but begins dying due to being unable to adapt to the era. Worse still, Alien Nowar wants his hands on the monster's time powers...

Gentle Giant: Arados are peaceful monsters that wander through time in family herds.
Gigantic Adults, Tiny Babies: The infant is only about a meter tall, but the adults stand at around 40 meters.
Time Master: Arados' primary powers, which are all concentrated in its shell patterns. It can open up portals to travel through time, freeze time in a single area, warp other creatures through time, and even reverse time on a target to bring them back from the dead!

Tablis

First Appearance: Human Transporter

A hippo-like monster with the ability to project a double of itself that suddenly appears in Yumekawa City in a search of a girl named Kana who had befriended it many years ago. It later becomes one of the inhabitants of the Kapuya Islands.

Doppelgänger Spin: Tablis' sole ability is to create an intangible illusion of itself from any distance, meaning the monster doesn't have to take actions, only the duplicate.
Gentle Giant: A completely peaceful creature that only seeks to be reunited with Kana, a human it saved and befriended so long ago. However, it (or rather its illusion) does begin to rampage when EYES attempts to use a hologram of Kana to fool the monster. Before that, the most destruction it caused was due to its clumsiness at moving in a city.
Interspecies Friendship: Formed one with Kana, a human woman it saved as a girl from collateral damage of an attack by the JADF against it.
Small Role, Big Impact: Only appeared for one episode, but Cosmos' world began to take a less violent approach to dealing with kaiju as a result of the public learning of Tablis' heroic act of saving Kana from collateral damage of an attack on it and eventually led to EYES being founded and Musashi and Cosmos' adventures as a result of it.

Mitoru

First Appearance: The Final Test

Portrayed by: Hitomi Akimoto

A child of the alien race that originally sent the Minins. She comes to Earth to turn them into Gamoran again and captures Musashi in order to prevent Ultraman Cosmos from interfering with what she calls "a test for humanity".

Forced Sleep: She can shoot out a beam of yellow energy from her hands that puts targets to sleep. She uses this to quiet Lidorias when the bird monster becomes alarmed by her presence.
Human Aliens: It's not clear if this was a form she had taken or not though.
The Man Behind the Man: Her species had turned the Minins into Gamorans sent them to Earth to test if humans could solve problems peacefully, but since Ultraman Cosmos had interfered with the previous test, it needed to be done again.

Kawanoji

First Appearance: The Kappa's Village

A kappa who lives in a lake near Tokawa Village, beloved by the locals. However, trouble ensues when he leaves his home to follow an old man from his village he was particularly close with to the hospital, only to scare a police officer who shoots him and causes him to go berserk!

Friend to All Children: While his closest friend of all the villagers was actually an old man, Kawanoji loves to play with the children in sumo wrestling games.
Hulking Out: Kawanoji can turn himself giant-sized when angered, though during the fight he makes a deal with Cosmos that if the hero wins, he will shrink himself back to normal size.
Kappa: There have been a few kappa-like kaiju in the franchise, but Kawanoji is an example of the real deal. He even sumo wrestles Ultraman Cosmos!
Non-Malicious Monster: Kawanoji is a very peaceful kappa, only going on a rampage when provoked by the human characters.

Gruanfan

First Appearance: The Door of Snow

A legendary creature that dwells in the World of Memories, which can only be opened through a card-sized artifact called the Door of Snow. It was sought after by an old violinist named Tomano (with the help of a teenager named Akira), who wanted to call Gruanfan into the world so he could relive his memories of youth.

An Ice Person: Gruanfan's arrival when the Door of Snow opens is foretold by sudden heavy snowfall, even in the summer.
Gentle Giant: Gruanfan is a completely peaceful monster that does no fighting or attacking. The only reason why Musashi turns into Cosmos is to help Gruanfan go back through the Door of Snow.
Time Master: Gruanfan freezes time when it enters the physical world because of the incompatibility with the Memory World. While present time is frozen, the Memory World appears to whoever summoned it, replaying past time for them and turning the summoner into a memory once Gruanfan goes back through the Door of Snow. It is possible to avoid being frozen by Gruanfan though, if one closes their eyes the moment the monster enters the physical world.

Dolba

First Appearance: Cry of the Earth

A monster of the same species as Galbas. It appears during an operation by EYES to destroy Chaos Ultraman as part of the final war against Chaos Header, having been transformed into Chaos Dolba to foil the plan.

Breath Weapon: Breathes fire.
Giant Flyer: Amazingly, Dolba is able to fly, despite its tiny wings.
Long-Lost Relative: Dolba is related to Galbas, although in what way isn't stated.
Superpowered Evil Side: Chaos Dolba, who has bigger wings and a large crest on his head.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Like all Chaos Header victims.
Tunnel King: Burrows very rapidly.

Characters from Movies

From Ultraman Cosmos: The First Contact

SRC

Played by: Taro Kawano (Captain Akatsuki), Emiri Nakayama (Kyoko), (Kimoto), Takanosuke Toukai (Kido), Mainoumi Shuhei (Raiden), Shingo Kazami (Ichinose), Hitomi Takahashi (Sakaguchi)

The organization of which EYES is a branch of. Before EYES was founded though, they were a small private organization mainly made of part-time civilian volunteers that studied aliens and monsters, hoping to make peace with them some day. In First Contact, their members are Captain Noboru Akatsuki (who works full time), Musashi's teacher Kyoko Watanabe, an inventor named Kensaku Kimoto, a car designer named Kido, a pastry chef named Kaoru Raiden, an astronomer named Ichinose, and a mechanic named Sakiguchi. They return in Ultraman Cosmos 2: The Blue Planet, now known as Team SEA and operating in the South Pacific with Kido as the new captain.

Commander Shigemura

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fuckface.PNG

Admit it, if you've seen this movie, you'd probably feel like punching a hole through your computer screen right about now.

Played by: Ikkei Watanabe

The head of SHARKS, a military organization that is often in conflict with the SRC due to their emphasis on attacking any monster and alien that appears without question. By the time of the series though, SHARKS has become the JADF, but retains its aggressively militaristic stance.

Adults Are Useless: The shinning example. To say Commander Shigemura is useless is like saying the Artic has snow. Its a fact.
Armchair Military: Mostly commands his armies of drones and fighters from inside his office or in a military vehicle.
Armies Are Evil: "Evil" may be a bit of a strong word to describe Shigemura and the JADF, but their hyper-militaristic approach to all monsters is always portrayed as stupid at best and heinous at worst.
Armies Are Useless: More often than not Shigemura and the JADF make things worse against the weekly monsters, thanks to their highly aggressive natures.
Dirty Coward: After realizing his direct assault on Baltan has resulted in the alien waking up and retaliating by attacking the city, Shigemura's next actions would be to turn tail and flee into a nearby military truck while Cosmos deals with Baltan.
Expy: He's the closest audiences would get to a live-action Kent Mansley.
Hate Sink: He's an Obstructive Bureaucrat and General Ripper, who repeatedly insists that Violence is the Only Option (despite the SRC proving him wrong more than once) and interferes the SRC's attempts to peacefully subdue harmless monsters, by ordering his army to launch missiles indiscriminately. He tries to humiliate Haruno Musashi in public, and confiscates the blue stone given by Ultraman Cosmos' for no reason. His approach of using violence in all situations ultimately instigates Basical Baltan - already subdued peacefully by SRC - into retaliating, forcing Ultraman Cosmos to eventually kill the alien. Shigemura eventually crossed the line when he tries launching a nuke on Ultraman Cosmos (who just killed Baltan and saved the city) while muttering "aliens should all be destroyed"... in a Taking You with Me last-ditch attempt, which overlaps with Too Dumb to Live, because Cosmos at the time is right in the middle of the heavily-populated city. He would very likely end up being court-martialed for his actions, which seems more like a Karma Houdini for this hopelessly incompetent Smug Snake.
Humans Are the Real Monsters: In a movie containing giant monsters and alien invaders, the greatest threat to human life is still this lousy excuse of a human whose actions, from instigating peaceful, non-violent monsters into attacking the city to trying to launch a nuke on Ultraman Cosmos, provides majority of the conflict in the film itself.
Jerkass: A very good one-word description for him.
Lethally Stupid: Sadly, his idiocy causes more harm to innocent civilians than to himself.
The Millstone: His sole contribution to the story includes interfering with the SRC, attacking a non-violent monster causing it to go on a rampage, launch an attack on Baltan (which has been proven to be dangerous, but doesn't have hostile intentions as of yet) convincing Baltan to retaliate and invade Earth, and trying to blow up Ultraman Cosmos with a nuke.
More Hateable Minor Villain: Basical Baltan is the film's Big Bad, but he's not evil, just a desperate, fatherly figure to the last children of his kind that is seeking a way to save his species from extinction and give the children under his care a safe place to live in. Commander Shigemura, while not the main threat, is the absolute most despicable being in the film as he is a miserable cowardly manchild that causes the peaceful negotiations with Basical to fail by attacking the alien when he is pacified, eventually leading to the alien committing suicide out of regret of almost harming humanity in his rage, and then tries to kill Ultraman Cosmos even when he helped stop Basical and was trying to help the Baltan children, all because he hates aliens.
Put on a Bus: He's absent in the sequels, likely from being demoted or expelled by the military from his actions in the first movie. Good, nobody is going to miss him.
Sinister Shades: Wears sunglasses. Even in daytime. Makes the audience want to kick him in the face even more than they already do.

Yujiro Haruno

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sgtharuno.PNG

"Anyone can be an astronaut, Musashi. They just need some Spartan training!"

Played by: Hidekazu Akai

Musashi's step-father and the head of the local police force. He also makes a cameo in Ultraman Cosmos 2: The Blue Planet, where it is revealed that he has retired to Hokkaido while Musashi was in EYES, but in Ultraman Cosmos vs. Ultraman Justice: The Final Battle, Musashi's mother takes his stead.

Armor-Piercing Question: In the ending of Ultraman Cosmos: The First Contact, he delivers one of these to Shigemura after stopping him from detonating a nuke in the middle of the city.

Papa Wolf: Cares for his stepson Haruno Musashi as much as a biological one, even pummeling Commander Shigemura for threatening the boy.

Reasonable Authority Figure: A police sergeant who is dedicated to his job.
"Well Done, Dad!" Guy: He knows that he can never replace Musashi's late biological late father, but tries to live up to be a good stepdad to his son. By the end of the movie, Musashi had since decided to make peace with his depression and recognize Yujiro as a father.
What Happened to the Mouse?: While the second movie explains his absence by stating he's retired, he's completely absent and not even mentioned in the third.

Neo Baltan

Voiced by: Daisuke Gōri

The most famous foe of the original Ultraman resurrected for the franchise's 35th anniversary and movie pilot of Ultraman Cosmos. Basical is the last surviving adult Baltan after his kind destroyed their homeworld through war and pollution. He came to Earth in hopes of taking it from humanity, but was opposed by Ultraman Cosmos in what would become the hero's first appearance on Earth.

For tropes applying to the Baltans in general, see the Ultraman TV Series character sheet

Alas, Poor Villain: Everyone feels pretty bad for him when he dies, including Ultraman Cosmos and the human characters (well, except Commander Shigemura), as they sympathize with his motives for trying to take over Earth and realize that with his death, the Baltan children are effectively leaderless and defenseless. Cosmos even helps the Baltan children with taking his body back to his homeworld for burial. To push the point further, Basical cries in his dying moments, fearing for the future of his people with his death.
An Ice Person: Can shoot freezing beams from his claws that cause several fighter jets to shatter into pieces.
Anti-Villain: Ultimately, he had the future of his species' children in his heart and mind when he decided to invade Earth.
Art Evolution: Being an updated version of the classic Ultraman foe, Basical has larger horns resembling those of a stag beetle, as well as a more armored body, meant to resemble an insect's exoskeleton. He also sports cicada-like wings tucked onto his sides, sharp-ended feet, and insect-like joints. His proboscis also sticks out unlike other Baltan suits.
Big Bad: Of Ultraman Cosmos: First Contact.
Blade Below the Shoulder: As Neo Baltan, he gains a massive sword in place of his right arm. Said sword can also hurl glass blades.
Healing Factor: When Ultraman Cosmos first enters Corona Mode, he tears off Basical's blade arm, only for it to regrow into a claw.
Last of His Kind: He's the last remaining adult Baltan.
Music Soothes the Savage Beast: As correctly deduced by Team SRC, they can pacify Baltan with music played from loudspeakers, and then attwmpt a peaceful communication with it. It works, until Commander Shigemura orders a drone attack on the sleeping Baltan.
Mythology Gag: His backstory borrows many elements from Baltan's appearance in the second episode of Ultraman, such as having destroyed his own world and deciding to replace it with Earth, as well as having a spaceship with millions of smaller Baltans on board following behind him.
One-Winged Angel: For his final battle with Ultraman Cosmos, he transforms himself into the monstrous Neo Baltan, gaining a more metallic appearance and a slew of new abilities.
Planet Spaceship: His home, and the home of millions of Baltanian children.
Shock and Awe: Can create lightning storms, but in Neo Baltan form, his energy whip can channel electric shocks.
Spike Shooter: As Neo Baltan, Basical can create shoot out a storm of flechettes from his shoulders.
Tragic Villain: Despite his ruthless determination to destroy the human race and seize Earth for his own people, Basical is ultimately a victim of circumstance, as it was his generation's selfishness and idleness that led to the destruction of his homeworld and forced him to bring the Baltan children in search of a new home.
Vader Breath: His roar sounds like that. It's literally the first thing audiences hear right at the start of the film.
Weather Manipulation: He appears to have this ability in the opening battle in the stratospher, when his electrical attacks clashes against Cosmos' beams, unintentionally summoning a thunderstorm that drenches Musashi, Mari, and their friends which are out camping.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Basical never considered that humanity and the Baltans could coexist peacefully, as he believed humanity was doomed to the same fate as his species unless he stopped them.

Alien Baltan Shirubyi

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

Voiced by: Rina Mogami

One of hundreds of thousands of Baltan children that came on spaceship fashioned from a ruined chunk of their planet. She opposes Basical's idea of violently taking Earth from humanity and hopes that humankind and the Baltan children can live together on Earth peacefully. She also makes appearances in the next two movies as an ally of Ultraman Cosmos.

For tropes applying to the Baltans in general, see the Ultraman TV Series character sheet

Invading Refugees: Like all the other Baltan children, she was just a refugee leaving a devastated world for a new one.
Punny Name: Shirubyi is a play on "Chibi", which describes her design.
Super-Deformed: Her design is meant to be a chibi version of the original Baltan.
Super-Speed: Although possessing bodies is not a new ability for the Baltans, giving the host super speed is.
X-Ray Vision: An ability not seen in any other incarnation of Baltan.

Don Ron

A legendary dragon associated with the god of medicine. He was awoken by Basical to grab the attention of humanity, making him the first monster to appear in the series' timeline. Don Ron also appears in Ultraman Cosmos Vs Ultraman Justice: The Final Battle, where he, Lidorias, Golmede, and Bolgils battle some Gloker Pawns attacking Japan.

All Myths Are True: His existance is supposed to be the stuff of ancient myths, until he awakens from his hibernation. A passing civilian even exclaims that the Dragon exists only in legends.
Armless Biped: Doesn't stop him from being able to burrow though.
Breath Weapon: Breathes fire.
The Bus Came Back: Absent in the series and second movie, but comes back in the third.
Non-Malicious Monster: Like many kaiju in this series, Don Ron is a peaceful creature that prefers to be left alone. The only reason why it awakens and goes on a rampage is due to Basical taking over its body.
Our Dragons Are Different: An armless biped associated with the god of medicine and with a head combining the features of Japanese Dragons and Chinese Lions.
Panthera Awesome: Due to the lion motifs on its head.

From Ultraman Cosmos 2: The Blue Planet

Sandros

Voiced by: Daisuke Gōri

The Big Bad of the second movie. Sandros is a terrible alien monster who travels from planet to planet with his hordes of Scorpis, ravaging worlds and turning them into barren wastelands. After destroying the planets Juran and Gyashi, he has turned his attention to Earth.

Big Bad: Of Ultraman Cosmos 2: The Blue Planet.
Blade Below the Shoulder: Sandros forms these after he cloaks Earth in darkness in order to slash at the blinded Ultraman Cosmos.
Breath Weapon: Sandros can open up his jaw three ways in order to spit out a red orb of explosive energy.
Casting a Shadow: Sandros can produce a black smoke from his body that cloaks the planet in pitch darkness, rendering enemies completely blinded. He also travels through space by cloaking himself in the smoke.
Evil Sounds Deep: Thanks to being voiced by Daisuke Gōri, Sandros has a low and menacing voice.
Hand Blast: He can shoot energy blasts from his hand ranging from missile-strength to being able send opponents flying for hundreds of yards.
It Can Think: While its minions the Scorpis are mindless monsters which only knows of destruction, Sandros on the other hand have some degree of intelligence, capable of communicating and taunting the Ultras in the battle.
Mind over Matter: Displayed telekinetic abilities.
Monster Lord: He commands the Scorpis.
Omnicidal Maniac: Sandros seeks to reduce the entire universe to nothing more than a lifeless wasteland of endless deserts.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: Has two red eyes that are among the few things visible in his darkness during the battle with Cosmos.
Social Darwinist: Espouses his philosophy when he first meets Cosmos.
Sandros: The strong will destroy the weak, that is a universal rule!
Walking Wasteland: Sandros' black smoke that disintegrates non-organic material in a similar manner to the Scorpis' withering orbs.
Villainous Legacy: Dead by the third movie but his action weighs heavily on Justice because he didn't kill him 2,000 years ago when he had a chance out of mercy. Making him willing to join the Delaxion in destroying the earth when the earth is seen as a threat like Sandros.

Scorpis

Sandros' minions, the Scorpis are alien kaiju that travel across the universe with the sole purpose of transforming any planet they encounter into a lifeless desert under the bidding of their master.

Beware My Stinger Tail: They possess long pincer-tipped tails they use to wound opponents in battle.
Breath Weapon: The Scorpis breathe a red beam of energy that instantly withers and disintegrates whatever it hits.
Giant Flyer: In order to travel through space, the Scorpis can switch out their legs for wings.
Horde of Alien Locusts: The Scorpis travel in large numbers from planet to planet, extinguishing all life.
Walking Wasteland: Like Sandros, the Scorpis leave only blasted ruins behind on any planet they visit.

Alien Gyashi Jin and Shau

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jin_1.jpg

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shau_9.jpg

Above:Shau
Below: Jin

Played by: Mai Saito (Shau), Masatoshi Matsuo (Jin)

Two aliens (Jin is the male, Shau is the female) from a planet that was devastated by Sandros. They fled to Earth and set up an underwater base near Saipan Island in the South Pacific to prepare against Sandros' next target and recreate life on their homeworld. Jin is distrustful of humans and is determined to prevent them from interfering with their plans in any way, while Shau believes the humans are potential allies against Sandros and the Scorpis. The pair later return in Ultraman Cosmos vs. Ultraman Justice: The Final Battle, where they help EYES in the struggle against Delaxion and the Glokers.

Anti-Hero: Jin, who was very distrusting of humans to Fantastic Racism levels, despite also opposing Sandros and the Scorpis like Musashi and SRC were. He does eventually realize his misguidedness though.
Hand Blast: Both Jin and Shau were able to fire energy bolts from their fingers. These bolts can do a variety of things, but Jin mainly used them to try kill humans.
Human Aliens: Unlike humans though, they're primarily an aquatic race. Shau is actually seen transforming into a mermaid a few times, so it's possible that was her true form.
Our Mermaids Are Different: As mentioned earlier, Shau can turn her legs into a fish's tail at will. Musashi actually mistakes her for one when he first spots her, and considering her species' association with the ocean, it could be said that they're essentially alien merpeople.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: The humorless and skeptical Jin is the blue to the more sympathetic and cheery Shau's red.

Reija

A species of stingray-like kaiju that dwells in the oceans around Saipan Island. They befriend Jin and Shau, gaining the ability to merge with them in order to battle the Scorpis.

Breath Weapon: They breathe explosive orbs of red energy.
Flying Seafood Special: Is based on manta rays.
Fusion Dance: Jin and Shau can call forth a Reija and merge with them, gaining control over the monster and giving it legs to move on land and arms to battle enemies.
Gentle Giant: Reija are completely peaceful monsters that eagerly assist the humans and Gyashi against the forces of Sandros and his Scorpis.
Giant Flyer: The Reija can fly in both normal form and limbed form.
If It Swims, It Flies: Is an aquatic monster with flight abilities.
Mellow Mantas: They're based on manta rays and serves as the "good" kaiju of their film, whilst the "bad" kaiju Sandros and Scorpis are based on insects.
Sea Monster: Based on manta rays, and have co-existed with the underwater Gyasshi aliens for a long time.

Ultraman Justice

Click ^here to see Julie

Portrayed by: Osamu Ryutani (voice of Ultraman Justice), Kazue Fukiishi (as Julie)

A second Ultraman known mainly in Gyashi legend as their guardian, having helped many Gyashi flee the planet when Sandros invaded. He only has a small role in The Blue Planet, but becomes more important in Ultraman Cosmos vs. Ultraman Justice: The Final Battle, where it is revealed that he is in service of the cosmic peacekeeping forces of Delaxion. In the latter movie, he takes on the form of a woman named Julie, who transforms using the Just Lancer.

Above Good and Evil: An extremely rare Ultraman example. Ultraman Justice is better described as a protector of order rather than of a warrior for goodness, willing to battle both villains like Sandros and heroes like Cosmos if they pose a threat to peace of a universal scale. This explains why he ends up siding with Delaxion and her Gloker army, as Delaxion serves as a kind of universal judge that observes civilisations to see if they would become a threat. However, he does eventually learn the importance of protecting life.
Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: His human form.
Anti-Hero: In contrast to the more messianic Cosmos and most obviously shown in the third movie.
Bash Brothers: With Ultraman Cosmos. Helps that both of Justice's modes have at least one combination attack with Cosmos. They might actually be literal 'brothers' in a sense, as they're confirmed to be two halves of Ultraman Legend.
Character Development: In the third movie, Justice spends from The Stoic enforcer of Delaxion to finally understanding what it means to protect.
Comfort Food: Seems to enjoy eating the sweets that he received from a human girl.
Dark Action Girl: Justice's human form takes an appearance of a girl dressed in black, and still capable of kicking ass even without transforming.
Easily Forgiven: Kills Cosmos at the early of the third movie, but when said Ultra revived, the first thing he did is replenishing Justice's energy. Even the red Ultra was astonished at his forgiveness.
Expy: To Ultraman Agul's human host, whose racism towards humanity stems from the influence of a great cosmic entity. Yet the two eventually joined the titular Ultraman in facing said antagonist.
Foil: Whereas Ultraman Cosmos is a Friend to All Living Things who values life above all else, Justice is more likely to kill his enemies, and also care not for life — he destroys anyone who disrupts cosmic peace regardless of whether they are good or evil.
Gender Bender: The only male Ultra to have a female human identity. This is because he views justice as above gender, so he doesn't consider what gender he appears as to be important.
Hero of Another Story: Is the true main character of Ultraman Cosmos vs. Ultraman Justice: The Final Battle.
Humans Are the Real Monsters: Part of his reason to destroy humanity is because they'll become a threat to the universe 2000 years later. It doesn't help that he's ambushed by a gang of thugs while in human form, which only reassures his view of humanity. Thankfully, he gets better later.
Julie: This is human nature. There's no value in saving you.
In a Single Bound: Julie can do this quite easily during a fight against several thugs.
Informed Ability: His Standard Mode has lots of it.
- Barrier Warrior: Justice Protect
- Blade Below the Shoulder: Justice Cutter
- Mind over Matter: Justice Move and Justice Kinesis
It's All My Fault: He spares Sandros for 2,000 years back when he was harmless, only for the monster to become what he is today. He is still affected by this mistake.
Kick Chick: Subverted that it was his female human form, but nonetheless managed to do so by moping the floor against several thugs at night.
Literal Split Personality: It's alluded to through All There in the Manual and eventually confirmed in Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy that Justice is actually the result of Ultraman Legend splitting in two to become him and Cosmos.
Multiform Balance: Like Cosmos, although he has less forms.
- Mighty Glacier: Standard Mode, which is his default form and is a foil to the Fragile Speedster Luna Mode of Cosmos.
- Lightning Bruiser: Crusher Mode — his equivalent to Corona Mode, but he only uses it in the climax of the third movie when he helps Cosmos to destroy Giga Endra.
Red Baron: The Emissary of Universal Justice.
Red Is Violent: As a Foil to Cosmos's predominantly blue color, Justice is predominantly red, and he's not above using violence to solve conflicts for the sake of the Universal Justice. After Character Development however, this becomes Red Is Heroic.
Redemption Promotion: His understanding of true justice and determination to stop Delaxion's forces allows him to gain Crusher Mode.
Telepathy: Julie's Establishing Character Moment has her communicating with Musashi.
Took a Level in Kindness: As noted above, Justice begins as an Anti-Hero interested only in protecting the cosmic order, but his interactions with Cosmos and humanity led him to realize the importance of protecting life.

From Ultraman Cosmos vs. Ultraman Justice: The Final Battle

New EYES

By the time of the third film, the original members of EYES have been transferred to different branches of SRC, leaving Fubuki as the captain of a new team in the battle against Delaxion and its forces. This new team is made of Eiichi Kashima, Natsuki Kuramoto, Kazuomi Watarai, and Ryojiro Shiyoda.

Delaxion

Voiced by: Chisako Hara

A godlike cosmic entity famed and respected as the ultimate judge of universal peace and order. Delaxion had prophesied the threat of Sandros and sent Ultraman Justice to destroy him, but has now predicted that in two thousand years Earth will become a threat to the universe. So it sends its Gloker legions and Giga Endra alongside Ultraman Justice to destroy all life on the planet.

Anthropomorphic Personification: Of universal law.
Anti-Villain: Although she serves as the movie's Big Bad, her causes are just (if lacking in empathy for living beings). She was responsible for sending Justice to destroy Sandros in the previous movie, but ultimately she cares more about universal order than good and evil. Cosmos and Justice certainly didn't seem to take her trying to wipe the both of them out too badly, since Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy reveals that the duo work together as her agents, since they had been sent by Delaxion to investigate Absolute Tartarus's meddling with the timeline.
Big Bad: Of Ultraman Cosmos vs. Ultraman Justice: The Final Battle.
Energy Being: She is essentially a gigantic white orb of light surrounded by an almighty aura.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: She prophesied that the inhabitants of Earth (humans, animals, and monsters) would become cosmic threats in the future. So while she does have a justification for her sending her Glokers and Ultraman Justice, she ultimately failed to realize their potential for goodness, to make themselves better, and the fact that many of them really just want to live their lives in peace.

Giga Endra

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

An immense and all-powerful superweapon robot created by Delaxion to annihilate all life on Earth.

Mook Maker: The Gloker Mothers come from its hold.
Names to Run Away from Really Fast: It's a gigantic superweapon designed to end life on Earth.
Shock and Awe: Can fire powerful lightning bolts as a defense mechanism.
Spell My Name With An S: Also known as Giga Ender.
Wave-Motion Gun: Given that its purpose is to raze planets of life, it's equipped with one so powerful that it almost killed Cosmos.
Weapon of Mass Destruction: It's a gigantic and nigh-invincible robotic superweapon able to fire a beam from its core that can annihilate every living creature on a planet in a single shot.

Gloker Pawn/Rook

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

Elite Mook: Only one Gloker Rook appears, when a squad of Gloker Pawns get overwhelmed by the attack of Lidorias, Golmede, Bolgils, and Don Ron and determine the best course of action is to become something that would defeat all four monsters.
- Shoulder Cannon: The Gloker Rook is equipped with these to replace the Arm Cannons.
- Spikes of Villainy: The Gloker Rook is covered with these, including around its eye in imitation of teeth.
Humongous Mecha: Giant robots created by a cosmic entity as footsoldiers to enforce its order upon Earth.
Mecha-Mooks: As the title of "Pawn" indicates, they serve as Delaxion's footsoldiers produced from the Gloker Mothers en masse.

Gloker Mother/Bishop

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

Click ^here to see a Gloker Bishop

A spaceship that spawns Gloker Pawns, but is able to transform into the formidable Gloker Bishop robot if needed.

The Juggernaut: These things are damn nigh-invulnerable in both spaceship and robot form!
Mook Maker: Gloker Mothers produce the Gloker Pawns to attack Earth.
Transforming Mecha: A Gloker Mother can transform into a Gloker Bishop.
- Cyber Cyclops: Like the Gloker Pawns, they have a single red eye.
- Elite Mook: Even moreso than the Gloker Rooks, as Delaxion only calls them forth when Ultraman Justice decides to join Cosmos in protecting Earth from Giga Endra.
- Hand Blast: The Gloker Bishop fires powerful orbs of explosive energy from its hands.
- Madness Mantra: The Gloker Bishop constantly says "Remove All Obstacles!"
