Alien Nackle

Assassin Alien Alien Nackle (暗殺宇宙人 ナックル星人, Ansatsu Uchūjin Nakkuru Seijin, 37, 38) are a group of invaders aiming to defeat Jack and conquer the Earth. ^[9] In human forms, they operated in Space Radio Wave Research Institute (宇宙電波研究所, Uchū Denpa Kenkyūjo) led by a director. After reviving Bemstar and Seagorath as test subjects, the Nackles stole Saturn Z bomb from MAT and murdered the older Sakato siblings, Ken and Aki, to diminish Go's spirit. ^{[10] [11]} Once Jack was killed and put to crucifixion on their home world, the Nackles disable MAT's aircraft and brainwashed them (saved for Yuriko) in their failed attempt to bust into the Research Institute. After being rescued by the original Ultraman and Seven, Jack decimated the invading fleets and engaged in the fight against the monster and alien pair. In his dying moments, the Nackle leader pridefully gloated over MAT's helplessness from stopping the Saturn Z bomb, despite them proving otherwise afterwards.

• Re-Seagorath (再生シーゴラス, Saisei Shīgorasu) and Re-Bemstar (再生ベムスター, Saisei Bemusutā) (37): A pair of deceased monster revived by Alien Nackle to test Jack's strength.

Black King and the Alien Nackle leader managed to defeat Jack in the first battle, partly due to Go's emotional dilemma. When Jack returned to Earth, Black King was summoned again, but instead was decapitated, leaving its master to fend for himself.

The Alien Nackle leader was portrayed by Masahiko Naruse (成瀬 昌彦, Naruse Masahiko) (human form) and voiced by Ritsuo Sawa (沢 りつお, Sawa Ritsuo). The other two subordinates on the other hand were portrayed by Ko Hayami (速水 鴻, Hayami Kō) and Mitsuru Sawa (沢 美鶴, Sawa Mitsuru). ^[5]

Alien Bat

Antenna Alien Alien Bat (触覚宇宙人 バット星人, Shokkaku Uchūjin Batto Seijin, 51) is the final antagonist of The Return of Ultraman. By assembling an invasion fleet named Planet Bat Federal Army (バット星連合部隊, Batto Sei Rengō Butai), they put the Ultra Annihilation Project (ウルトラ抹殺計画, Urutora Massatsu Keikaku) into motion by invading the Planet Ultra as part of their campaign against the Ultra Warriors while a lone operative was sent to Earth to deal with the recent member of the Ultra Brothers, Jack. This particular Alien Bat held Jirō and Rumiko as his hostage while using a revived Zetton in his campaign against Ultraman Jack and stripping MAT of their assets while they were busy fighting his monster. At 5:00 pm, he challenged the entire team again and was killed after Jack impaled him with the Ultra Cross.

As revealed in The Ultraman Mebius novel, the Alien Bat's reason of invading the Planet Ultra was due to its inhabitants' refusal to share their life preservation technology that was developed by Ultraman Hikari. The Inter-Galactic Defense Force (including the Ultra Brothers members and a rookie Mebius) managed to counter the invasion but the battle ended with huge losses on both sides.

• Space Dinosaur Zetton II (宇宙恐竜 ゼットン二代目, Uchū Kyōryū Zetton Nidaime, 51): A different breed of the namesake monster from episode 39 of Ultraman, this one has the ability to shoot Zetton Napalm (ゼットンナパーム, Zetton Napāmu) from its hands. Zetton II was sent as Alien Bat's biological weapon against Jack due to its previous infamy for killing the original Ultraman in 1967. Zetton II was first deployed as a distraction for MAT while Alien Bat invaded their headquarters and destroy their supply of weaponry. MAT fought the two again in their limited assets and this time joined by Ultraman Jack. Both monster and alien had an upper hand against Jack, but the support from MAT members gave the Ultra a second wind by first killing its master and then disabling Zetton by throwing the monster airborne before firing his Specium Ray.
