Ultramen

Ultraman 80 (Ehiti)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ultraman_80.png

Voiced by: Hasunori Hasegawa

The last of the original generation of Ultra heroes to come to Earth and the first one to be seen since Ultraman Leo left five years ago, Ultraman 80 studies Minus Energy — a dark energy formed from negative emotions and evil deeds — and specializes in fighting kaiju formed from this energy. As a teacher on the Land of Light, he takes the form of a schoolteacher named Takeshi Yamato, hoping to pass the ideals of the Ultramen to Earth children. He is one of the less popular Ultra heroes, so he doesn't appear as frequently as most others, but is often seen alongside the classic heroes.

Badass Teacher: Is a teacher both on his home planet and Earth. In fact, his entire plan is to teach human children to be more positive and kind to counter Minus Energy. Given it's a long time until Earth faces monsters and aliens again after his departure, one can't argue with the results. ^note
Be the Ball: In the battle against Glovusk, Eighty transforms himself into a ball to knock the monster into submission.
Demoted to Extra: Ultraman 80 is not the most publicized main series Showa Ultra. Aside from his appearances on Ultraman Mebius, he has only made two different appearances in film, both of which are Ultraman Zero films.
Friend to All Children: It's a given considering his job as a teacher.^note
Invincible Hero: Unlike all his predecessors, 80 did not lose a single battle in his series, even when he struggled massively, with his only loss being on purpose since his goal was to make the mother and child Zandrias make up with each other by "losing" to their teamwork.

Yullian

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

Voiced by: Sayoko Hagiwara

The childhood friend of Ultraman 80, Yullian is the princess of the Land of Light. She comes to Earth in Episode 43 in the form of a lady named Ryoko Hoshi with the alien tyrant Emperor Galtan chasing her for the death of his son (who had arranged a kidnapping-marriage for her). She joins UGM shortly afterwards, but finds no need to transform as 80 is able to deal with the monsters by himself until Episode 49.

Action Girl: Even without transforming, she's a help to 80 while on Earth, and she also takes part in the Final Battle.
Aliens Among Us: Although hinted multiple times in the series, she doesn't reveal herself to be an Ultra until the second last episode.
Big Damn Heroes: Assists Eighty when he is on the receiving end of a Curb-Stomp Battle against Plazma and Minazma, and turns the battle around.
Demoted to Extra: Sadly, after the series have ended, much like 80 Yulian didn't get much of the spotlight either.
Dynamic Entry: After transforming onscreen for the first time, first thing she did is a Diving Kick into Minazma's face.
Royals Who Actually Do Something: Is the Princess of the Land of Light, but actively assists 80 in protecting the Earth.
Spin Attack: Combined with Ultraman Eighty, the two of them can form a powerful tornado capable of destroying even the most powerful of monsters.
Transformation Trinket: Her bracelet.

Four Eyes, Zero Soul: He wears glasses, and is the only human in the series without any redeeming qualities whatsoever.
Hate Sink: The biggest human scumbag in the show, Nakagawa is a self-centered, self-righteous asshole whose existence makes Takeshi realize NOT all humans are worth saving.
Gone Horribly Wrong: To say his attempts to control Myu after turning it into a rampaging giant monster didn't work would be an Understatement.
Humans Are the Real Monsters: He's the reason why an otherwise harmless space creature, the size of a puppy, would turn into a rampaging monster, as a result of him performing all kinds of experiments on it.

Monsters and Aliens

Minus Energy in General

Also called Negative Energy, it's created from negative emotions from people, which either create or awaken giant monsters.

Achilles' Heel: The monsters it creates are fueled by negative emotions, helping those being emotionally fed off of will weaken the monster.
Big Bad: Of 80, many of the problems faced throughout the series has negative energy involved in some way.
Fad Super: Around the time 80 was released there was a high delinquency problem in Japan. Negative Energy was a stand-in for the pain these kids were going through and showing the best way to fix it was with love and compassion
Greater-Scope Villain: It's described as the creator of the Kaiju problem on earth. This is mostly ignored in later series, however.
- Yapool is revealed to be made of the stuff in Ultra Fight Victory meaning he owns his existence to it.
Humans Are the Real Monsters: Some of the monsters come about because of human cruelty like Kuwaganda (fuel by a kids hate for his beetle being killed) or Delusion Ultraseven (fuel by a kid's hatred of a bullying gang of hooligan motorcyclists.)
The Heartless: The monsters are created and fueled by the negative emotions of people.
It Can Think: It seems like just a force of nature however in the penultimate episode it's stated it created Plazma and Minazma to kill 80 implying it has some form of sentience

Crescent

The Heartless: Hoe is representative of negative emotions more than any other Minus Energy monster, especially of jealousy and anguish, from which it was spawned by.
Intangibility: Albeit only towards the majority of beam attacks. Punching and kicking him works fine though.
No-Sell: Due to the fact that Hoe is completely made of Minus Energy, most beam attacks phase through its body.
Spell My Name With An S: Sometimes just spelled Ho.

Zandrias

First Appearance: From the Skies With Love

A young and bratty flying monster that came to Earth from outer space to in order to escape its mother's constant nagging about his misbehaviour and irresponsibility, venting its frustrations about its overbearing parent by going on the rampage.

Zandrias became the third Ultraman 80 kaiju to appear outside its debut series when it reappeared in Ultraman Geed. While the creature had problems with its girlfriend instead of its mother this time, it still remained the same bratty child as it always is.

Blow You Away: Like all winged kaiju, Zandrias and his mother can create hurricanes by flapping their wings.
Bratty Half-Pint: Zandrias is the equivalent of a frustrated 12-year-old boy who can't stand his mother pestering him about his responsibilities and decides to come to Earth to take out his anger.
Breath Weapon: Breathes a heat beam.
Came from the Sky: Zandrias lands on Earth in the form of a meteorite before proceeding with throwing his tantrums.
Eye Beams: Only the mother was shown using it, but it can be assumed the juvenile also had the ability as well.
Giant Flyer: Both mother and son.
Non-Malicious Monster: Zandrias is just an ungrateful kid, so he's mostly just troubled rather than violent and ferocious. So Ultraman 80 actually has to try get Zandrias back together with his mother along with stopping him from destroying things.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: Both the mother and the child have red eyes.

Alien Bam

First Appearance: Streets of Illusion

A race of aliens using a phony version of Tokyo hidden in the Fourth Dimension as a secret hideout. The used their hidden lair to trap Takeshi Yamato while he was returning from school and then release Mecha-Gillas to destroy the real Tokyo, hiding the robot in their illusory city when a retreat was necessary.

Carry a Big Stick: When in combat, they prefer to fight using cudgels. Not that it did them any good in their fight against Takeshi in human form.
Extra Eyes: They have two smaller eyes above their two main ones.

Breath Weapon: Can shoot a beam of energy from his mouth, as well as various missiles.

First Appearance: The Boy from the Stars

An alien monster that was suddenly beamed down to Earth one night by mysterious extraterrestrial invaders (who left shortly after sending the monster out). However, one student of Takeshi had been anticipating the monster's arrival, believing the aliens that sent it were there to pick him up and take him away from Earth.

Diabolus ex Nihilo: Very little explanation is given to who sent Abdolarus as the monster and the UFO that sent him solely appear at the very end of the episode. Most of the story is dedicated to Takeshi and a student of his who is convinced he is an alien.

Spell My Name With An S: Also called Abdolaars.

Bat Out of Hell: Complete with supersensitive hearing and echolocation that allow Noiseler to pick up even the faintest sounds.
Eye Beams: Can fire red laser bolts from his eyes by channeling energy through his ears.
Giant Flyer: Obviously.
Non-Malicious Monster: Noiseler is not an inherently violent or dangerous monster, he merely has very sensitive hearing that means loud noises drive him crazy. So Ultraman 80 spares Noiseler and takes the monster to space to find him a new and quieter home.
Spell My Name With An S: Also called Noislar.

Tabra

First Appearance: A Legend Revives

A man-eating monster originally defeated three thousand years ago by a mysterious warrior of light (implied to an Ultraman, possibly 80 himself) who sealed the creature away in a mountain.

Overly-Long Tongue: He uses it to snatch humans and eat them up.
Prehistoric Monster: Tabra's debut episode established that it has existed during the time of dinosaurs.

Spell My Name With An S: The Crunchyroll subs translate his name as Tablar.
To Serve Man: His favorite food is humans, and in ancient times, Tabra would rampage around the countryside devouring as many as he could.

The Mysterious Warrior of Light

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

First Appearance: A Legend Revives

An unidentified warrior from ancient times, who defeated and sealed the monster Tabra underground three thousand years ago.

Ambiguous Situation: The show doesn't really make it clear on the warrior's identity; it's either an anonymous Ultramen who defended Earth before Ultraman Eighty's arrival, or it's Eighty himself. The latter seems more likely however; a still provided by Tsuburaya themselves depicts the warrior as having a diamond-shaped buckle similar to Ultraman Eighty's.
Energy Being: For the entirety of his screentime, the warrior is depicted as a humanoid made of light.
We Hardly Knew Ye: Appears in one episode, with a under a minute of screentime.

Spell My Name With An S: Also called Aruma.

Jakki

First Appearance: The Visitor from Space

Alma's snail-like pet, which she brought with her to help examine Earth's Minus Energy. However, Jakki absorbs too much Minus Energy during Alma's stay on Earth, turning it evil. As a result the creature runs away from its owner and infests the body of a zoo elephant to create the monster Zruzular.

Energy Absorption: Jakki absorbs the Minus Energy generated from what it witnesses (like two men fighting over a car accident or kids bickering over a pencil), which is how it becomes corrupted.
Flying Seafood Special: Capable of flying about despite resembling a sea snail, which is how it escapes so quickly from Alma.
Pet Monstrosity: Of Alma, though it's generally pretty harmless.

Zruzular

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zuruzla3.jpg

First Appearance: The Visitor from Space

An ordinary zoo elephant that accidentally consumed a Minus Energy-corrupted Jakki (who had been hiding in a meal the zookeepers gave to the elephant), transforming the gentle creature into a giant monster that Ultraman 80 had to subdue by defeating Jakki inside it.

"Fantastic Voyage" Plot: Similar to what Ultraseven did with Darii back in 1967, Ultraman 80 doesn't fight Zruzular, but has to go inside it to subdue Jakki.

Non-Malicious Monster: Zruzula is a simple zoo elephant corrupted by Minus Energy into becoming a monster.

Spell My Name With An S: Also called Zuruzla or Zuruzular.

Medan

First Appearance: Gas Panic Horror!

An aquatic monster originating from China that feeds on natural gases. Medan came to Japan in search of food and proved to be a major nuisance for UGM due to its ability to constantly regenerate and grow no matter how many times it was killed. It is also notable as the first Monster of the Week in the series to not appear in a school-related episode.

Breath Weapon: Breathes poison gas, but only by consuming enough chemicals to create its toxic gases.
From a Single Cell: Medan can reform from being blown to pieces.
Kill It with Ice: Medan's regeneration is powered by heat, so UGM employs freeze missiles to help 80 kill the monster permanently.
Make My Monster Grow: Medan starts off human-sized, but as the creature consumes more gases around a refinery and is repeatedly blown up and regenerated, it eventually achieves a height of 50 meters.
Sea Monster: Originated from the ocean and strongly resembles some kind of fish.

Panthera Awesome: Modeled after a lion.
Playing with Fire: Asides from emerging from a volcano, Gorah can also shoot a heat beam from his hands by putting them together and shoot bolts of flame from its mane.
Spell My Name With An S: Also called Gora.
Whale Egg: A lion-ish monster that hatches from an egg. Yeah...

Alien Gorgon

First Appearance: Formation Yamato

A race of warlike aliens who bring the monster Salamandoras as their weapon to conquer Earth. They also try to sow distrust amongst UGM by getting Captain Oyama framed for attacking a high-ranking UGM official who was actually one of their kind in disguise.

Ambiguous Situation: They were last seen in an abandoned warehouse, that quickly collapses when they revived Salamandora. Did they die in their haste to revive the monster, or simply left earth after Salamandora's failure? The show never explains beyond that.

First Appearance: Formation Yamato

The Gorgon aliens' weapon of choice. Salamandoras is a reptilian monstrosity that's only weak point is a highly sensitive patch on its throat. And to make matters worse, its masters keep some of its DNA with them to completely regenerate the monster whenever necessary.

Salamandoras is also one of the few Ultraman 80 monsters to appear against other Ultra heroes. However, all references to its alien masters were dropped in later appearances, with the regeneration being retconned into a natural ability caused by the throat patch actually being an organ that grants it this power.

Achilles' Heel: It has a patch on its throat that when shot, causes it immense pain, so UGM has to figure out how to get the monster to expose the underside of its neck. This was retconned in Ultraman Mebius to explain that the soft spot is the monster's regeneration organ.
Attack Its Weak Point: The throat patch is recognizable as a brighter and lumpier bit of skin near its chin.
Breakout Villain: Due to being one of the few kaiju new to this series to appear in subsequent Ultra Series, starting with Ultraman Mebius, Salamandoras is one of the more popular monsters in this show.
Breath Weapon: Breathes fire.
From a Single Cell: The Gorgon aliens keep a cell of the monster to regenerate it completely if it is destroyed. Retconned in Ultraman Mebius into a default ability of the monster that can only be neutralized by attacking its Achilles' Heel.

However, his unethical rival, Professor Nakagawa, captured the monster and transformed it into a giant through painful experiments intended to see if the creature could be used as a source of labour.

Eye Beams: Can fire purple lasers from his eyes.
Gone Horribly Right: Nakagawa hoped to make Myu into a giant and paid with his life when he succeeded.
Humans Are the Real Monsters: Myu only became a rampaging kaiju as a result of its mistreatment at the hands of Nakagawa, who is the episode's only real villain.
Make My Monster Grow: Professor Nakagawa did this to Myu, hoping its size and peacefulness would make for good cheap labor. However, his cruelty to the monster proved him wrong.
Music Soothes the Savage Beast: Only Emi's singing was able to calm down Myu when it was turned into a kaiju due to the bond she had forged with the small monster when it was being studied by her father Dr. Jouno.
Tragic Monster: Myu was a completely peaceful creature captured, experimented, and tortured by an unscrupulous scientist into a kaiju. He almost got killed by Ultraman 80 but Emi manages to calm him down again as Ultraman 80 restore him back to his original form and send him back to outer space.

First Appearance: The Mysterious Snow Art from Space

Voiced by: Shojiro Kihara

Sealed Evil in a Can: Was imprisoned in a snowflake-like object by Alien Ruria, but ultimately escaped as a result of human curiosity and a fascination for the prison's beauty.

Played by: Masaaki Daimon

The result of the malevolent alien monster Gimyra transforming Chief Ito into another monster under its command when the man went on vacation on an island resort to visit his girlfriend Sawako Hoshi, unaware that Gimyra had taken over the place.

Beast and Beauty: Even when kaijufied, the only creature Chief Ito will not harm is Sawako. Unfortunately, UGM mistakes their first encounter with her and Raburas to be the monster kidnapping the lady.

Was Once a Man: Chief Ito had taken a vacation to the resort island that Gimyra had taken over, turning the second-in-command of UGM into the first victim of his monster-mutating powers. Fortunately, he still retains a shred of his human memories that UGM and Sawako are able to unlock and bring him to his senses.

Daron

First Appearance: Flight to the Eerie Monster Island Pt. 1

An octopus-like monster of unknown origin under the control of Gimyra. It suddenly appeared out of the sea to help Raburas battle Ultraman 80, but was destroyed at the end of the fight when Raburas managed to remember its original human identity and turned against its ally.

Combat Tentacles: Being an octopus kaiju, Daron relies on his tentacles for combat.
Diabolus ex Nihilo: Daron is never indicated to be a former human like Raburas and just suddenly appears from the ocean to help him battle Ultraman 80. All that is really clear about this guy is that it was under the control of Gimyra.

Mind Control: Gimiyra's primary ability is to mentally subjugate both humans and other monsters, so long as he has already drank some of their blood.
Overly-Long Tongue: Which he uses to drink the blood of his slaves. It also has multiple tips and can be used like an electrified whip.
Our Vampires Are Different: While he obviously doesn't resemble anything like a traditional vampire, Gimyra's bloodsucking traits (even leaving strange bitemarks) and his ability to mind control people or transform them into monsters after drinking their blood are very reminiscent of one.
Shock and Awe: Gimyra's tongue can conduct electricity to shock foes.
Spell My Name With An S: Also spelled as Gimaira, Gimira, and Gymaira.

Nuclear Mutant: Was originally a peaceful alien animal, but after his planet was blown up as the crossfire victim of a superweapon, Gauss became a giant monster.
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: His reason for attacking Earth was to avenge the destruction of his home planet and subsequent mutation into a monster.

First Appearance: Shine On, Space G-Man of L85!

Played by: Takeshi Obayashi (voice and suit actor)

A member of the Space G-Men, an alien organization much like the Ultramen in that they specialize in keeping peace by fighting giant monsters. Zuckal is a longtime member of the organization with a vendetta against the monster Gamos, but with retirement coming soon, he comes to Earth on a solo pursuit, refusing to let Ultraman 80 get in his way.

Anti-Hero: Although Zuckal serves in an organization with many of the same goals as the Ultramen and is quite admirable in his quest to kill Gamos, he is so consumed by revenge that he refuses to let even Ultraman 80 stand in his way, despite Takeshi's requests to assist him.
Hulking Out: He can transform into a giant, monstrous version of himself, but doing so will kill him, so he only saves it for what he believes will be his final battle with Gamos.
It's Personal: He despises Gamos vehemently because the monster attacked his homeworld and killed his wife and children.
Revenge Before Reason: His thirst for vengeance and hatred towards Gamos drives him into a rampage without thinking of the consequences.

Breath Weapon: Breathes jets of acid capable of dissolving whole groups of people and entire buildings in seconds.

Eye Beams: Gamos can shoot yellow waves of energy from his eyes.
Hate Sink: Gamos completely lives up to its Boss Subtitles Heinous Monster. While most kaiju act on instincts or are merely violent in nature, Gamos sticks out for destroying entire planets and wiping out harmless alien civilizations For the Evulz. More often than not Gamos seems to take delight in committing genocide, and in a disturbing Kick the Dog moment, he mercilessly kills Zuckal's family right in front of him after wounding Zuckal, before rampaging through Zuckal's home planet. When invading Earth, there is an extended scene where Gamos graphically wipes out innocent civilians ONSCREEN before enjoying its rampage. To this abomination of a monster, Earth is just another planet, one of many it has wiped out without a single care.
Jerkass: Gamos is an evil and destructive monster to the fullest degree, taking sheer delight in the carnage and sorrow it brings as it razes buildings and dissolves people with its acid breath.
The Juggernaut: Ultraman 80 barely stood a chance against Gamos' arsenal of abilities and was only able to turn the tide thanks to Zuckal's efforts (although the alien didn't fare much better).
Karmic Death: Gamos, who wipes out entire civilizations of alien races with his acid breath, including Zuckal's wife and son, and attempts to do the same to 80, was ultimately defeated when 80 managed to deflect Gamos' acid back at the creature, weakening it enough for 80 to execute a killing blow.

Weakened by the Light: Einus and the rest of her kind are fatally harmed by sunlight, so they try to do some minor blockage of the Sun in order to survive on the surface.

Make My Monster Grow: It's initially introduced as a small, lizard-esque pet of the Akuzones, before a growth ray turns it kaiju-sized for the episode's inevitable battle. Interestingly, both Gera's juvenile and kaiju form are a Prop Recycling of the earlier monster, Myu, who has two forms as well.
Pet Monstrosity: Of the Akuzone people.

Alien Argo

First Appearance: Terror of the White Demon

Voiced by: Goro Matsu

Giant Flyer: They migrate throughout space in large flocks.

Non-Malicious Monster: Being the infant offspring of an already harmless species of kaiju.

Zatan Silver

Breath Weapon: Breathes a cloud of highly explosive mist.
Humongous Mecha: Zatan Silver doesn't look quite as robotic as Mecha-Gillas or Robo-Fo, but it becomes clear the silvery skin isn't merely natural armour once Ultraman 80 reveals the wires and circuitry inside.
Robotic Reveal: The UGM, much like the audience, are completely unaware of Zatan Silver's nature as a cyborg until Ultraman 80 busts its armour open.

A highly advanced cargo ship with artificial intelligence that went rogue after colliding with an iceberg at the Strait of Magellan. The AI-powered ship then began to use magnetism from the cargo of magnetic materials it was carrying to absorb every ship in its path, increasing its size as it made its way back to Japan.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: In a somewhat more reasonable example, Barrack Ship's AI went rogue because its systems were damaged by an iceberg. Unfortunately, it also gained the ability to control the ships it's amassed too, gaining missile launchers and cannons from warships to shoot at Ultraman 80.
Expy: Of Iron Rocks from Ultraseven, the only other ship-based kaiju in the Ultra Series.
Humongous Mecha: It's a giant robot ship that increases its mass by amassing other ships!
Magnetism Manipulation: Due to the fact that Barrack Ship was carrying a large cargo of magnetic materials before going rogue, the ship's AI was able to use said materials to transform itself into a giant living magnet and drag other ships into its mass to create a monstrous cluster. It even manages to drag a few of UGM's planes out of the sky with it.

Gazera

First Appearance: The Boy-Made Monster

A spirit-like Minus Energy monster that came into being as a result of a boy's own fears of having to get an important surgery.

Breath Weapon: Breathes fire.
Chest Blaster: Gazera is able to fire powerful energy bolts from its chest. Similar projectiles come from its forehead as well.

Hand Blast: Able to shoot an energy beam from its massive right fist.
The Heartless: Being a Minus Energy Monster and all that.
The Juggernaut: Ultraman 80 had a lot of trouble with this guy until he discovered its Achilles' Heel as Gazera was unfazed by even the Saxium Beam. Part of the problem was that the kid who built the monster toy Gazera possessed had fantasized the creature as being powerful enough to defeat Ultraman 80, and Gazera was perfectly willing to make that a reality.
Right Hand of Doom: It's giant fist.

Angoras

First Appearance: I Caught a Strange Fish!

An enormous catfish that normally dwelled on the darkest depths of the sea. It came into shallower waters in search of its child, which had caught some time earlier on a fishing trip by a boy who had then decided to keep the unusual fish as his own personal pet.

Breath Weapon: Obviously, he breathes fire, but Fire-Draco can also shoot a beam of energy from his red head.
Multiple Head Case: Each of Fire-Draco's three heads has its own personality, appearance, and powers. In fact, when the monster was originally defeated long ago, the heads' souls reincarnated as three separate humans.
Our Dragons Are Different: While his body is fairly typical for a kaiju and name is suggestive of a western dragon, all three of Fire-Draco's heads are modeled after Japanese dragons.
Playing with Fire: The red head breathes fire, as the monster's name suggests. Helps that Kubiryu, the red head's reincarnation, is a fire-eater.
Sealed Evil in a Can: Fire-Draco's essence was sealed inside a magical gemstone by the priest who defeated him originally, but as legend prophesied, the monster would be reborn if its reincarnations managed to get a hold of the jewel.
Token Good Teammate: Mitsuo, the reincarnation of the monster's white head, is the only one of the three who doesn't want to return as Fire-Draco and is mostly forced into the ordeal by Kubiryu and Takeshi since he's just a kid. He even helps Ultraman 80 against the other two heads during their battle, allowing 80 to eventually separate Mitsuo from the monster to continue living his life as a human.
Use Your Head: The blue head can swing itself like a club to bash opponents, which in its human reincarnation, Takeshi, comes in the form of being able to bend steel with his forehead.
Youkai: Stated to be one by the Shinto priest of Ryujin Village.

Quieting the Unquiet Dead: Ultraman Eighty defeats Kuwaganda by convincing it to return to the earth, where it then reverts back to a regular, dead insect, aventually at peace.

Beam-O-War: The second Baltan briefly engages in one of these against Ultraman 80.
Chute Sabotage: One of the Baltans attempts to pull this off on Yamato after shooting down his jet. Yamato jettisons his ride while a few hundred feet in the air, only for Baltan to clip the strings of Yamato's parachute, at which point Yamato henshins into Ultraman Eighty.
Continuity Nod: Ultraman 80 defeats the second Baltan in the same way the original Ultraman defeated the second Baltan of his series.
Grievous Harm with a Body: Ultraman 80's method of defeating the first Baltan, is to grab Baltan's legs, swing him in circles before letting go and sending Baltan crashing face-first into his own battleship.
Half the Man He Used to Be: The second Baltan's fate.
Shrink Ray: The second Baltan uses this ability to kidnap kids and stuff them into a giant bag.
Villain Decay: Baltan is reduced to a fairly run-of-the-mill alien invader harassing children in both of his appearances. And let's not get around to the first one's preposterous plan to put Ultraman 80 on display at a zoo.
Would Hurt a Child: The first Baltan had numerous children kept in a sack during his battle against Ultraman 80, and he is perfectly content with threatening to kill the children in front of 80.

Gosdon

First Appearance: Voice of the Ultra Father

A spirit-like Minus Energy monster that attacked a boy's father on a highway, although nobody believed him afterwards. The entity took on a physical form by possessing the same kid's kite, taking advantage of his frustration towards everyone to terrorize Tokyo.

Energy Being: Similar to Gazera above, Gosdon is a wisp-like entity of Minus Energy that is able to possess inanimate objects to manifest as a kaiju.
Epic Flail: Gosdon's right hand is a three-headed fail.
The Heartless: As a Minus Energy Monster.
Horn Attack: Able to shoot lightning from its horn.
Shock and Awe: Asides from its lightning horn attack and being able to summon storms, Gosdon carries about a lightning bolt in its right hand that it can hurl like an angry god.
Spell My Name With An S: Also called Ghosdon or Ghostdon, in reference to its incorporeal nature.
Weather Manipulation: Perhaps fittingly for a kite-based monster, Gosdon is able to conjure huge winds at will. Additionally the monster can summon lightning storms.

Tetsuon

First Appearance: I'm a Monster, You Guys!

Voiced by: Kazue Takahashi

A monster that was created from a boy named Tetsuo, who had consumed an alien seed that had fallen from space on a dare from his friends. Tetsuo retains his personality and enjoys being a monster due to his new powers, but when people started losing interest in him, he begins to regret his decision.

Big Eater: His appetite when in monster form is huge.
Cursed with Awesome: Tetsuo finds that his intelligence reaches genius-levels and he is able to move objects with his mind as Tetsuon, which initially makes him very popular with his friends. However, his parents are not happy with his new monstrous appearance, and soon his friends become uninterested in him because his powers means he always wins their games and outdoes them in schoolwork, which leads him to decide that he wants to become a normal kid again.
Mind over Matter: Gains this ability, which he uses to win at baseball games.
Was Once a Man: Tetsuon was once a kid named Tetsuo, turned into a miniature monster after eating the pod that carried Space Plant.

Space Plant

First Appearance: I'm a Monster, You Guys!

The strange extraterrestrial seed that was swallowed by Tetsuo and subsequently turned him into a monster. Although the creature gave him a new form and powers, Tetsuo eventually grew unhappy with them and Ultraman 80 had to go inside his body to defeat the parasite.

"Fantastic Voyage" Plot: Ultraman 80 once again shrink himself and ventures inside the body of a monster in order to defeat a parasitic creature.
Space "X": Space Plant's name is Exactly What It Says on the Tin.

Jihibikiran

First Appearance: The Mountain Sumo Boy

Portrayed by: Jun Tanabe (human form)

A sumo Youkai who comes down from the mountains of Ashigara once every few years in the form of a sumo child to defeat 100 opponents in sumo wrestling. His need to sumo wrestle everyone he meets wreaks havoc as UGM tries to keep him from making trouble with the wrong people.

Graceful Loser: After 80 defeats him in a sumo match, Jihibikiran willingly reverts himself to child form and retreats into the mountains, never to be seen again.
Hulking Out: He only transforms into his giant monster form when angered by two robbers who try to use his strength for a crime.
Non-Malicious Monster: Jihibikiran causes a lot of chaos as he searches for opponents and also gets exploited by some crooks to help them beat up guards for a robbery, but being a Youkai, Jihibikiran is mostly just a capricious mischief-maker.
Stout Strength: He is a sumo monster!
Sumo Wrestling: His normal form is a sumo boy who wrestles everyone he meets. He wakes up every 10-20 years to search for challengers and will only return to rest after defeating 100 people in sumo wrestling. And yes, 80 battles him with a good ol' sumo match.
Super-Strong Child: In his human form, he assumes the form of a child who can throw adults around easily.
Worthy Opponent: Found Ultraman 80 to be the only one who put up a good match against him.
Youkai: One purely made up by Tsuburaya Productions though.

Barebadon

First Appearance: Did You See the Zero Fighter Plane, Monster Bird?

A nomadic bird-like monster from space that wanders through the cosmos, briefly stopping at Earth as part of its migration route. On Earth, it swallows a boy's remote control plane when mistaking it for food, meaning Takeshi has to help the kid get his toy back before the monster leaves.

Gentle Giant: Fortunately for 80, Barebadon is a completely peaceful creature that only comes to Earth every fifty to sixty years to rest during its intergalactic wanderings. The only reason why Takeshi had to even transform was to get the monster to spit out the toy plane it had swallowed by accident.
Giant Flyer: The monster dwarfs even Ultraman 80!

Zurasuimar

First Appearance: Kannon is the Strongest

A monster that was sealed underneath a statue of the goddess Kannon in 1855 after being awoken from a volcano by an earthquake. It was reawoken in the present when a pair of crooks searching for supposed treasure underneath the statue decided to have it toppled.

Playing with Fire: Zurasuimar can absorb fire to increase its strength, and is also immune to extreme temperatures.
Right Hand of Doom: His left arm is a spiked whip.
Sealed Evil in a Can: Was imprisoned underneath a statue of Kannon, the Japanese goddess of mercy and compassion. Knocking the statue over awakens the monster.
Weaksauce Weakness: Though it doesn't kill him, water weakens Zurasuimar significantly.

Alien Rattler

First Appearance: The Female Ultra Warrior

A race of aliens from the planet Galagala (thus also known as Alien Galagala) named for the unusual rattling noises they make. They come to Earth under the command of their ruler Emperor Galtan in search of Yullian, the princess of M78 who has taken the form of Ryoko Hoshi to elude them.

Mooks: They essentially serve as this for Emperor Galtan during UGM's hunt to rescue Emi from the king after he mistakes her for Ryoko.

Emperor Galtan

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/galtan_0.png

First Appearance: The Female Ultra Warrior

Voiced by: Yasuo Muramatsu

The king of the Rattler aliens. Emperor Galtan came to Earth in pursuit of Yullian, after his late son invaded the Land of Light to kidnap and marry her. However, he and his subjects mistake Emi for the Ultra princess' human form and kidnap her for execution, leading UGM in a race against time to save their friend.

Arch-Enemy: He despises Yullian for her responsibility in the death of his son and seeks to kill her as his way of repaying the Land of Light.
Cool Sword: His weapon of choice is a stylized scimitar sharp enough to cut through boulders and able to fire beams of energy, as well as channel shockwaves by stabbing the ground.
The Emperor: In Japan, he goes by the title of Daiou, or "Great King".
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He may be a villainous conqueror, but he does genuinely love his son.
It's Personal: His son was killed when he tried to invade the Land of Light to kidnap-marry Yullian, hence his hatred for the Ultramen.
Kick the Dog: He kidnaps, tortures, and eventually kills Emi.
Knight of Cerebus: His appearance is a lot more serious than the show usually is, due to the introduction of Yullian (who introduced a few major firsts in the franchise's history) and the fact that he kills Emi.
Large and in Charge: As their emperor, he towers over the rest of the Rattler aliens and is the only one able to increase his size.
Sinister Scimitar: His preferred weapon.
Master Swordsman: A highly proficient sword user, capable of various deadly techniques with his massive scimitar.
Royals Who Actually Do Something: Up to and including battling Ultraman 80!

Evil Doppelgänger: Of Ultraseven, complete with the real deal's Emerium Beam.
The Heartless: Since he's a Minus Energy monster, Delusion Ultraseven is formed from a kid's anger against a bullying gang of hooligan motorcyclists.
The Power of Hate: Delusion Ultraseven's strength is entirely derived from Naoto's anger.

Marjinn

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

First Appearance: The Unforeseen Revival of Red King

Played by: Akio Yokoyama.

A genie discovered in a clay vase by some children. In return for cleaning up litter around Tokyo for him, the kids are able to ask Marjinn for whatever toys and gifts they want, which is initially seen as a good thing by UGM until the kids' incessant wishes start exhausting Marjinn.

Benevolent Genie: Marjinn's only demand for granting wishes is that the kids have to clean up Tokyo's pollution as his way of trying to make Earth a more beautiful place. The only bad wish he grants was only because he misheard the wish from being exhausted.
Genie in a Bottle: He resides in a clay vase.
Our Genies Are Different: Marjinn is a very human-like genie (except for the bright facial markings around his eyes) and can grant as many wishes as he pleases. Additionally, he is imprisoned in a vase instead of a lamp and destroying the vase will free him from having to grant wishes.

Red King

First Appearance: The Unforeseen Revival of Red King

The result of a wish granted by Marjinn that went horribly wrong. Exhausted from granting so many wishes for so many children, Marjinn had misheard a wish from one boy for a toy of Red King as a wish for Red King itself, leading to the genie resurrect the real deal!

See Ultraman TV Series

Back from the Dead: As a result of Marjinn mishearing a wish.

Glovusk

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

First Appearance: The Evil Glove is Laughing at You!

A Minus Energy monster formed from the baseball glove of a boy frustrated with his own inability to do well at the sport. Glovusk used its newly-given life to torment the kid in a small form before being turned giant-sized from absorbing additional Minus Energy.

Eye Beams: Fires purple lasers from its eyes.
Giggling Villain: Glovusk's roars consist of mocking cackles.
Invisibility: Able to turn itself invisible.
Our Monsters Are Weird: Yes, people, an Ultraman once fought a baseball-themed glove monster. He even curled himself up into a ball to throw himself into its form!

Shock and Awe: Glovusk is able to discharge electricity from its body to electrocute enemies by grabbing them.
Voluntary Shapeshifting: In its small form, Glovusk can turn back into a normal baseball glove as it pleases to elude UGM.

Played by: Seiwa Kobayashi (voice), Hashi Daishinigami (human form actor)

Plazma and Minazma

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

Left: Plazma
Right: Minazma

First Appearance: 80's Greatest Challenge

A pair of extremely powerful Minus Energy monster brothers, as well as the final creatures to be spawned by that evil form of energy. Their combined threat was so great to Ultraman 80 that it forced Ryoko to transform into Yullian and help 80 fight for the first and last time.

The Dividual: For all intents and purposes, their combined threat is generally treated as a single monster.
Evil Duo: Plazma and Minazma are brothers spawned from Minus Energy.
Fat and Skinny: The short and stocky Minazma is the fat to the tall and more leanly-built Plazma's skinny.
Fusion Dance: They can merge themselves into Plazma-Minazma by attaching to each other's backs, becoming nigh-invincible.
Horn Attack: Both monsters can shoot lasers from their horns, with Plazma firing one and Minaza firing two.
Last Villain Stand: They are described as the Minus Energy last attempt to destroy Ultraman 80.
The Juggernaut: Both monsters are pretty tough individually, but together they proved to be among Ultraman 80's most powerful enemies, forcing Ryoko to become Yullian for the first time.
The Heartless: Like all Minus Energy Monsters.
Punny Name: Theirs come from Plus and Minus, with the "-zma" suffix coming from "Inazuma", the japanese word for lightning. It has the side effect of making Plazma sound like, well, Plasma.
Spell My Name With An S: Minazma or Minuzma?
Too Many Mouths: Plazma has three mouths stack on top of each other.

Margodon

First Appearance: Oh No! All the Animals Have Been Frozen!

A mammoth-like alien monster whose presence saps all heat from the air and freezes the surroundings. Despite the threat its icy abilities posed, UGM had made a special request to Ultraman 80 and Yullian — let humanity defeat the monster without any assistance from the Ultras.

Margodon is notable for being the final monster of the Showa era of the Ultra Series and for the next 25 years in-universe, marking the End of an Age for the franchise, which went fairly quiet until Ultraman Tiga debuted in 1996 while the original Showa timeline would not be revisited until 2006 with Ultraman Mebius.

Achilles' Heel: Margodon's heat-draining abilities means its body is extremely brittle.
An Ice Person: Margodon's presence freezes its surroundings as the monster completely drains all heat from the air. Also, it shoots freezing gas from its trunk.
Fake Ultimate Mook: Despite being the final opponent of the series (and of the next sixteen years^notetwenty-five years in-universe), Margodon is destroyed by UGM without ANY help from Ultraman 80 or Yullian. However, UGM had requested Takeshi and Ryoko not to transform as they wanted to prove that humanity no longer needed the protection of the Ultramen and would be able to take care of any future monsters by themselves.
Hoist by His Own Petard: The same freezing gas that Margodon uses turns out to be the perfect way to defeat it, thanks to its extremely brittle body.
Literally Shattered Lives: UGM destroys Margodon by using a gigantic wrecking ball to smash it to pieces
