Ultraman (ウルトラマン Urutoraman), real name Lipiah (リピア Ripia), is an alien who appears in the 2022 Toho, Tsuburaya Productions, and khara film Shin Ultraman. The character first debuted in the 1966 Tsuburaya Productions series of the same name.
Name
As the name implies, "Ultraman" is a combination of the English words "ultra," spelled in Japanese as urutora (ウルトラ), and "man" (マン). In the original Ultraman series, Ultraman stated that he had no true name, and Hayata began calling him Ultraman. In Shin Ultraman, he is tentatively classified as Ultraman by the SSSP as a shortening of Giant Humanoid Creature Ultraman (巨大人型生物ウルトラマン Kyodai Hitogata Seibutsu Urutoraman). Zoffy at one point refers to him as "Lipiah" (リピア Ripia), assumed to be his real name, before correcting himself to Ultraman.

Design
|
This article or section needs to be cleaned up to meet the standards of Wikizilla. |
|
Ultraman resembles the third Ultraman suit used in the original series. However, his physique is slender and tall. The iconic Color Timer located on his chest is missing, a reference to the original Ultraman design by Tohl Narita.[8] As a CG creation, Ultraman lacks eyeholes for a suit actor to see out of and a dorsal fin to hide the zipper of the suit. His signature chest patterns are thinner and more angular than his 1966 counterpart while the lower "pants" design has an indent at the bottom of each thigh.
When Ultraman first lands on Earth, his patterns are a silver only slightly darker than the rest of his body. His face is modeled after the suit used in Ultraman's first 13 episodes, with a slightly open mouth and an decrepit-seeming appearance.

Spacium Ray
Ultraman fires his deadly Specium Ray from his right hand, which must be held vertically with his left arm positioned horizontally just below it. The beam was able to destroy Neronga in a single hit and injured Zarab to the point that he was forced to shed his Ultraman disguise, but was overpowered by Mefilas's own energy attack and failed to breach Zetton's shield.
Ultra Slash
Ultraman can conjure the Ultra Slash by bending his arms towards each other and orienting his right to face up. From there, he throws the serrated ring of energy. It is capable of slicing clean through buildings and was able to kill Zarab instantly. Additionally, Ultraman can create a larger variant of the attack that seperates into eight smaller Ultra Slashes. However, Mefilas was able to swat away the Ultra Slash with little issue and Zetton's forcefield completely negated it.

Trivia
- The first look at Ultraman's design was not in a trailer, but rather an image during the opening ceremony of Tsuburaya Convention 2019 on December 13.[9]
- Much like Anno and Higuchi's interpretation of Godzilla, Ultraman resembles an earlier concept from his debut outing. While Godzilla has a similar head to the maquette used for the iconic image of Godzilla biting a train, Ultraman is directly based off Tohl Narita's 1983 painting "The Incarnation of Truth, Justice, and Beauty".[10]

Gabora
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Gabora (ガボラ Gabora) is a burrowing reptilian kaiju who appears in the 2022 Toho, Tsuburaya Productions, and khara film Shin Ultraman. The character debuted in the ninth episode of the original 1966 Ultraman series, "Lightning Operation", and later featured in the 1993 U.S.-filmed series Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero.
Name
In-universe, Gabora is presumably named "on impulse" by the Disaster Prevention Agency Minister like other kaiju before him, including Neronga.
Development
To be added.
Design
Gabora bears a striking resemblance to Neronga, sharing a similar body. However, Gabora has a much smaller, skeletal head. Six beady eyes glow crimson inside sunken sockets while four nostril-like holes reside in the equivalent area to Neronga's nasal horn. In place of Neronga's yellow back plates, Gabora has two purple screw-like organs that run down its back and continue past the end of its tail. Additionally, its head is surrounded by six plates that can close into a conical drill.

Abilities
Drill tendrils
The two rows of spinning plates on Gabora's back can partially detach from his tail, allowing them to move freely, Gabora is capable of using these tendrils as a means of high speed locomotion when flipped on his back. Additionally, they are sharp enough to puncture the base of a mountain and wield the necessary strength to keep him perfectly in place.
Radation
Gabora primarily uses radiation as sustenance but he can also repurpose this energy to emit an blue heat ray from his mouth, strong enough to visibly push Ultraman back. He is able to control the intensity of this beam at will but even at its lowest-shown state of power, the attack releases massive amounts of radiation into the environment.
Head plates
The plates that surround Gabora's head can close, creating a drill-like structure that can spin at rapid speeds. While this is mostly used for the purpose of burrowing through the ground, this adaptation also serves as his primary weapon. The plates can also rotate while they're open, which seemingly serves as the catalyst for Gabora's irradiated heat ray.
Roar
Like the original version of the character, the Gabora in Shin Ultraman utilizes King Kong roars from King Kong vs. Godzilla
|
Trivia
- Being labeled as the eigth kaiju to have appeared in Japan, Gabora coincidentally shares a name with the title character of the 2020 shōnen manga Kaiju No. 8.

Zetton
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
SPOILER WARNING: This section may contain major plot and/or ending details. Proceed at your own discretion. |
|---|
Zetton (ゼットン Zetton) is an alien bioweapon unleashed by Zōffy to annihilate humanity in the 2022 Toho, Tsuburaya Productions, and khara film Shin Ultraman. The character debuted as a 'space dinosaur' in the 39th and final episode of Tsuburaya's 1966 Ultraman series, entitled "Farewell, Ultraman." Zetton crossed over with Godzilla and other Japanese pop culture characters in Banpresto's Compati Sports games Battle Soccer: Champion of the Field and Battle Baseball, released for the Super Famicom in 1992 and Famicom in 1993, respectively. The Shin Ultraman version of the character also appears in episode TI5 of the non-canonical web series Shin Ultra Fight—which recreates part of his battle with Ultraman from the original series shot-for-shot—as well as the mobile game Godzilla Battle Line.
Name
Zetton's name is a combination of the final letter of the English alphabet, Z (read as zetto in Japanese), and the final kana of the Japanese syllabary, ん (n). This name was chosen to signify finality, as Zetton was Ultraman's last opponent of his original series.[1] In Shin Ultraman, Zōffy introduces Zetton as the Ultimate Celestial Suppression Weapon (天体制圧用最終兵器 Tentai Seiatsu-yō Saishū Heiki), with Ultraman recognizing its name to be Zetton. In Shin Ultra Fight, Zetton is given the epithet Space Dinosaur (宇宙恐竜 Uchū Kyōryū), which he possessed in his original incarnation in Ultraman.

Abilities
Superheated fireball
Zetton's ultimate weapon is a one-terakelvin superheated ball of energy (超光熱球 chō kōnetsu kyū), or simply fireball (熱球 nekkyū), powerful enough to not only destroy Earth but evaporate the entirety of the Solar System and further affect an area light-years wide. Zetton creates the fireball by concentrating beams of energy projected from the yellow compartments on its chest. Zetton then splays out the angular coverings on its body and shifts its limbs into a horizontal railgun-like posture in preperation to fire.
Unnamed Energy Machine Gun
Relatively-small circular objects located in front of Zetton's torso can fire a hail of energy bullets. They are presumably some of Zetton's weakest attacks as they cause no visible pain or stress in Ultraman when he's pelted by them.
Arm Blasts
Zetton can fire red bolts of energy from the sides of its arms. Multiple consecutive shots can destroy Ultraman's Ultra-Barrier.
Durability
Zetton is protected by a kind of forcefield, making it virtually indestrucible even to Ultraman's weaponry. According to Ultraman, all of the thermonuclear weapons in the world, equating to roughly 2 million kilotons of TNT, would be "totally insufficient" in damaging Zetton.

Zōffy
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Name
Zoffy's original name has no confirmed origin but it is speculated that it was derived from the English name Sophie. In Shin Ultraman, Zōffy is spelled with an accented ō as a reference to the script of Zoffy's debut episode.
Development

Design
Zōffy is very similar to Ultraman in appearance, sharing his physique and overall patterns. However, his skin is gold in color while the markings that cover his body are black. An extra line swoops below his chest pattern while a thin circle lays on each shoulder. Additionally, his forehead crest is black. His eyes are slightly lopsided and so are his lips, the latter creating a visage that resembles a smirk to the side.
