Recap / Ultraman Z Ep 7: His Majesty's Medal

Go To

Riku Asakura was kidnapped by someone! Riku's hidden power is being used to create something evil...! And the enemy's powerful Belial Fusion Monster appears! As peril befalls out heroes, Ultraman Z's master, Ultraman Zero appears! Shatter the enemy's evil ambitions, Z, Geed, and Zero!


Episode Tropes:

  • Adaptational Badass: The Belial Fusion Monsters in general. Celebro is capable of transitioning from Skull Gomora, Thunder Killer, and Pedanium Zetton all at once in just one episode, a feat that Kei Fukuide could not possibly do by himself back in Geed.
  • Badass in Distress: Riku gets captured by Celebro's Valis Raiders in order to extract his Belial factor and harvest a Belial medal.
  • Batman Gambit: It's implied by Juggler that Celebro was taking advantage of the Gillvalis incident from the earlier episode and by creating his own Valis Raiders out of the said AI's remnants for him to kidnap Riku in order to extract his Belial factor to successfully create a Belial medal.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Two in sequential order:
    • Juggler rescues Riku while being bound to Celebro's machine.
    • Ultraman Zero of all people shows up to defend and aid Z and Geed while fighting Celebro's Belial Fusion Monsters.
  • But Now I Must Go: After breaking free from Bullton's wormhole and aiding Z and Geed fighting Celebro's Belial Fusion Monsters, Zero decides to return back to the Land of Light while Riku reunites with Pega to travel across the multiverses to continue his search and destroy operation involving the Devil Splinters.
  • Continuity Nod: When extracting Belial DNA from Riku, the sample appears to be a tube of dark red essence. While its a given for audiences to mistake it for Riku's blood, mind you that episode 23 of Ultraman Taiga has Alien Chibull Mabuze created a Belial clone using his DNA sample, which, like Riku, is surprisingly dark red despite Ultras being known to have light as their analogy of blood.
  • Dance Battler: Z defeats several Valis Raiders by using Yoko as a dance partner.
  • Fangirl: Yoko fangirls hard at getting to fight alongside Z.
  • I Need to Go Iron My Dog: Hebikura once again uses the toilet excuse in the middle of Riku's rescue operation in the base, allowing himself to assume Juggler's Demon Form and silently participate without blowing his cover.
  • Impersonating an Officer: The Valis Raiders' new abilities here.
  • Noodle Incident: Although Gomora and Red King are Earth monsters, how did Celebro managed to harvest the Kaiju Medals of Zetton, Eleking, King Joe and Ace Killer remains a mystery up to this point due to their extraterrestrial origin.
  • The Reveal: Juggler stumbles at Kaburagi's name tag, in the process he learns that he's been pulling the strings behind the scenes.
  • Secret-Keeper: On a dual basis for Riku; he keeps Hebikura's real identity as Juggler away from STORAGE members and even Haruki, while Juggler likewise helped keeping Riku's cover.
  • Shout-Out: In one of his many made-up covers to STORAGE, Riku said that he is a video personality of sorts. Of course in real life, YouTube also happens to have a popular Japanese YouTuber by the name Sushi Ramen Riku.
  • Time Master: Shining Zero's Shining Star Drive managed to get him out of Bullton's wormhole, which drains his energy.
