This is the character list for the 2016 Ultra Series Ultraman Orb . The series as well spawned several continuations, such as Ultraman Orb The Movie , Ultraman Orb: The Origin Saga and Ultra Fight Orb .
Gai Kurenai (クレナイ・ガイ, Kurenai Gai) is a mysterious, yet cheerful young adventurer that travels around the Earth for a long time while playing his Orbnica (オーブニカ, Ōbunika) [lower-alpha 1] musical instrument. His true identity is the mysterious warrior Ultraman Orb (ウルトラマンオーブ, Urutoraman Ōbu), who descended from beyond the outer galaxy to protect the Earth and stop the resurrection of the Lord Monsters. [1] [2] [3] He possesses abilities that are beyond what normal humans are capable of, such as withstanding cold environments for a long time, performing superhuman leaps and displaying the use of ESP to detect objects from beneath the ground. Having lived on Earth for a long time (since 1,800 BC), he has a habit of remarking the past events and nostalgia that seemingly faded in the modern times due to constant development in the human civilization.
Sometime in the past, Orb's power was located at the unexplored mountain peak called Crusader's Peak (戦士の頂, Senshi no Itadaki) from distant planet called O-50 (オーフィフティ, Ō Fifuti). Two young warriors, Gai and Juggler and climbed towards the peak and try to obtain its powers. Gai was chosen to be the Warrior of Light and had the powers of Orb bestowed upon him, transforming into an Ultraman he is currently known for. After foiling the invasion of Bezelves, Gai completed his first mission and embark on a journey to collect all four elements of Orbcalibur. At one point he took a Planet Cobol native Shorty under his wing before the latter died from disarming Juggler's Balloonga Bomb.
Gai descended to Earth as part of his mission to prevent Orochi's revival but his ally-turned-adversary Jugglus Juggler follows in suit, unsealing Lord Monsters to collect their cards by having Orb defeated them. As a result, from Orb's battle with Maga-Zetton, Gai lost his true form (designated Orb Origin) and seemingly killing Natasha, a woman he befriended. He eventually made his way to Japan in 2016 and took refuge in the SSP base after befriending its members. After using Thunder Breastar to destroy Orochi, Gai once more suffers from the fear of his own power, which led to Naomi's hospitalization when said form nearly killed her. Once discovering Natasha's survival and Naomi being her descendant, Gai regains faith in himself and his true form after 108 years. During his final battle with Magatano-Orochi, Orb finds himself being unable to deliver any attacks to the monster and was considered defeat. When reverted to his human form, Gai deals with Juggler in his state of mental breakdown and learned that his own rival actually rescued Natasha from Maga-Zetton. This allows Gai to finally giving his respect to Juggler after years of seeing each other as bitter enemies and eventually teaming up to destroy Magatano-Orochi. In aftermath of the battle, Gai left to parts unknown while assuring Naomi that he would return when the time needed.
In his early days as Ultraman Orb, Gai transforms solely through the Orbcalibur (オーブカリバー, Ōbu Karibā). At that time, Orb is known by the form as Origin the First (オリジン・ザ・ファースト, Orijin Za Fāsuto), with his red color dominated majority of his body. His main finisher is the Origium Ray (オリジウム光線, Orijiumu Kōsen). [4] Following the success of his first mission, Orb evolves into Orb Origin (オーブオリジン, Ōbu Orijin), gaining the additional black marking to his body and utilizes the Orbcalibur during combat. [5] This form was originally lost upon destroying Maga-Zetton, but regained it after obtaining a blank card from Natasha's spirit and restoring faith in his own power. [6] While the Orbcalibur is capable of firing each of elemental Calibur attacks separately, Orb Origin's main finisher is the Orb Supreme Calibur (オーブスプリームカリバー, Ōbu Supurīmu Karibā), a power drawn by activating all 4 elemental Caliburs on the Orbcalibur simultaneously, initiated when Gai inserting the smaller Orbcalibur into the Orb Ring and charging it, then pulling a trigger on the sword hilt and spinning the center wheel to fully activate it. This action launches a massive energy beam from the sword, but can also create a citywide explosion when used with full anger. Apart from that, he can also utilize elemental attacks using the Orbcalibur:
After the success of his second mission, Gai obtains the Orb Ring (オーブリング, Ōbu Ringu), a legendary device that allows him to utilize Ultra Fusion Cards (ウルトラフュージョンカード, Urutora Fyūjon Kādo) and harness their powers. It was mainly used on Earth during Orb's period of losing Orb Origin. Orb can also channel the power of these cards even in human form, as shown when Gai blocked an incoming attack by Alien Zetton Maddock via Ultraman's card. Once his Color Timer (カラータイマー, Karā Taimā) starts blinking, the Fusion Up form begins to break apart so he must end the fight quickly before entering the time limit. After defeating a Lord Monster, Gai would use the Orb Ring to harvest its Maga Crystal and acquire the corresponding Ultra Fusion Card based on the Ultra Warrior that was used to seal the monster. Once a card is acquired, he would store it in his Ultra Fusion Card Holder (ウルトラフュージョンカードホルダー, Urutora Fyūjon Kādo Horudā) until the time would be needed to use said card.
By initiating Fusion Up, Orb can harness the power of two Ultra Warriors at once through his forms:
In Ultraman Orb The Movie, Ultraman Orb gain access to a form known as Orb Trinity (オーブトリニティ, Ōbu Torinitī), which uses the aspects of New Generation Ultra Warriors, Ginga, Victory and X. [14] [15] Because of how it uses three component Ultramen instead of two, this form is regarded as Trinity Fusion (トリニティフュージョン, Toriniti Fyūjon). Orb's main weapon is Orb Slasher (オーブスラッシャー, Ōbu Surasshā), the device that invokes said transformation, which allows him to perform three finishers; Trinitium Break (トリニティウムブレイク, Torinitiumu Bureiku), Trinitium Shoot (トリニティウムシュート, Torinitiumu Shūto) and Trinitium Giga Slash (トリニティウム光輪, Torinitiumu Kōrin). By himself, he can perform Trinitium Straight (トリニティウムストレート, Torinitiumu Sutorēto) flying punch and tapping into his component's own powers, such as Victory's EX Red King Knuckle and a portion of X's Gomora Armor. In Ultraman Geed the Movie , Orb can summon the entirety of Gomora Armor to gain access into cyberspace and rescues Geed from Galactron MK-II's digitization.
In addition, the Data Carddass game Ultraman Fusion Fight! also introduced game-exclusive Fusion Up. Alongside the original Fusion Up, Orb retained the original attacks of past Ultra Warriors in addition to newer attacks. [7]
Gai Kurenai is portrayed by Hideo Ishiguro (石黒 英雄, Ishiguro Hideo). [1] [3] Meanwhile, the voice actor for the Orb Ring is Takahiro Sakurai (櫻井 孝宏, Sakurai Takahiro), who voices Ultraman in Ultraman Festival 2016. [17]
The conception of Gai Kurenai/Ultraman Orb was made by the series' director Kiyotaka Taguchi, based on Dan Moroboshi/Ultraseven from the Ultra Series' second installment Ultraseven. Takao Nakano soon added more fictional wanderer attributes such as Japanese novel Lone Samurai Monjiro, actor Clint Eastwood and Tsunehiko Kamijō's image song, Dareka ga Kaze no Naka de. All this is done under the purpose to "re-invoke the wanderer hero in the 21st century world". [18] [19]
Phantom Demon Jugglus Juggler (無幻魔人 ジャグラスジャグラー, Mugen Majin Jagurasu Jagurā, [lower-alpha 5] ) [lower-alpha 6] is the main antagonist of the series and Gai Kurenai/Ultraman Orb's archenemy. Usually appears as a well-dressed young human male, he is capable of transforming into an armored form called Demon Form (魔人態, Majin-tai). [lower-alpha 7] He is a very emphatic and short-tempered creature who is known to be easily irritated to the point of violently tantrums. [1] In the series, Juggler's entire act of atrocities stems from his jealousy over Gai for not being chosen as the warrior of light and his entire motivation is to surpass Ultraman Orb himself.
Long ago, Jugglus and Gai once fought as comrades and constantly competed with each other. But after Gai acquired the light of Orb, their relationship began to strain as Jugglus' jealousy slowly grew. Juggler accompanied Gai on his mission to stop Psychi and his Bezelves but denounced his support after damaging the Tree of Life, preferring to participate on his own proxy. [4] After the battle, the two went on separate ways as Juggler becomes a mercenary who participated in various wars from outer space until he landed on a job as the Alien Zartana' bodyguard and fight against Gai. He was soon imprisoned in Planet 484 where he met Biranki and took her under his wing as they led a prison break before Gai helped the Interstellar Alliance to imprison them. With his jealousy for Gai reached climax, Juggler was bestowed the Dark Ring as he completely fell into the darkness and tails Gai to Earth. Whereas Gai tries to stop Maga-Orochi from awakening, Juggler freed the Lord Monster and harvested their cards upon destruction by Orb.
In the present day (after collecting all Lord Monster cards), he awakened Maga-Orochi through the Ultraman Belial card he obtained by backstabbing the Planetary Invasion Coalition and used Zeppandon to fight Orb. After losing the Dark Ring, Juggler trains by perfecting his new attack and prepared for what it seemed to be the final fight with Gai/Orb before being defeated once more. Using his apprehension by VTL, he relayed Magatano-Orochi's awakening to the public via VTL and tricked them to help in its resurrection as well. After escaping, Juggler prepared to kill Naomi but when she willingly took responsibility of her own death, he was hesitant to do so and instead rescued her from a crashed Z-VTOL. After discovering that Juggler rescued Natasha long ago, he was redeemed in his rival's--Gai's--eye and eventually joined Orb after being persuaded by Naomi. During the battle, Juggler would sacrifice himself to restrain the monster so that Orb could deliver the final blow. Juggler would survive the attack without a scratch and watched Gai for the last time from a distance. In Ultraman Orb The Movie, Juggler reclaimed the Dark Ring from Murnau after his undercover and fought against the Dark Alien Army before saving the SSP and the petrified Ultras, Ginga, Victory and X. He was last seen bidding farewell to Gai, waiting his rival on space.
Being a warrior of such caliber as Gai, Juggler is capable of many extraordinary feats such as teleportation and enhanced physical reflexes. In addition, he employs the Jashin Style (蛇心流, Jashin-ryū) of swordsmanship, wielding a katana called the Jashin Blade (蛇心剣, Jashin-ken). He can employ attacks such as the powerful Jashin Blade's Sword-Draw Slash (蛇心剣・抜刀斬, Jashin-ken Battō-zan). In his final confrontation with Gai/Ultraman Orb, he unveils a new attack that he had perfected called the Jashin Blade's Crescent Moon Shockwave (蛇心剣・新月斬波, Jashin-ken Shingetsu Zanpa), which launches a dark crescent wave from his sword.
Jugglus' main tools are Dark Ring (ダークリング, Dāku Ringu) and a set of Monster Cards, which allow him to awaken the Lord Monsters, summoning monsters or manifesting their powers. He also possess a Terrible-Monster-type Monster Cards, which are considered rarity. Upon an Ultra Monster's destruction, Jugglus can harvest their remains to create a corresponding card, which he does so to gain the sets of Lord Monsters. The Dark Ring disappeared from Zeppandon's destruction, finding its way to Murnau before Juggler reclaim it and for him to abandon it once more. Among the monsters he summoned were Aribunta, Cherubim, Black King and Zeppandon, with the former three were during his service in Planetary Invasion Coalition and the latter on his own.
Jugglus Juggler is portrayed by Takaya Aoyagi (青柳 尊哉, Aoyagi Takaya). [1] Although the official brochure of The Origin Saga stated that Gai and Juggler are natives of O-50, Aoyagi denied it as such. [20]
Space Girl Biranki (宇宙少女 ビランキ, Uchū Shōjo Biranki) is a character that appeared in Chapters 3, 5-2, and 10 of Ultraman Orb Chronicle.
Biranki was once a princess of an unnamed planet that was born with the ability to manipulate monsters. After being imprisoned by her parents due to the danger her power wields, her anger summoned Gango and nearly destroyed the planet before she was removed to Planet 484 by Interstellar Alliance. Ever since she was rescued by Juggler, Biranki falls in love with him, having prophesied his aid in her dream and assisted Juggler in the prison break. After Gai and Shorty neutralised the situation, Biranki was imprisoned again to a different cell, separating from Juggler.
Sometime later, Biranki escaped her confinement and went to Earth with the saucer monster Hungler to assist Juggler. After said monster's destruction by Orb, Juggler saved and left Biranki on another planet to avoid her intervention.
Biranki's main ability is to manipulate monsters, with her influence even reach other dimensions. Among the examples are:
The Light of Orb (オーブの光, Ōbu no Hikari) is a bluish halo that resided at the Crusader's Peak in Planet O-50. [21] After rejecting Juggler, the halo chooses Gai as the bearer of Ultraman Orb's power and his first mission to stop Psychi and his army of Bezelves. The ring would later provide Gai with various missions, including the hunt for the crystals making up the Orbcalibur and giving him the Orb Ring to stop the awakening of Maga-Orochi.
Outside the events of Ultraman Orb, the Light of Orb has also bestowed selected climbers of Crusader's Peak with their respective powers. Some of these examples include Rosso, Blu, Grigio, Fuma, [21] and Sagittari.
Credited as the Voice of Light (光の声, Hikari no Koe) in Ultraman Orb: The Chronicle , the Light of Orb is voiced by Takahiro Sakurai, who also provides the voice announcements of Orb Ring in Ultraman Orb.
The Something Search People (サムシングサーチピープル, Samushingu Sāchi Pīpuru, SSP) is a mysterious phenomenon tracking site which bends on uncovering paranormal events and monster sightings. They usually patrol in the SSP-7 car and is always the place where Shibukawa (and by extent the whole VTL Squad) relies on information when the said group incapable of researching on their own. This group was founded by Naomi Yumeno from her childhood dream of Ultraman Orb fighting against Maga-Zetton, and is also the team's sole breadwinner by engaging in multiple part-time jobs. [1] During Magatano-Orochi's rampage, they received the original copy of Pacific Records from Akie Kishine and each played a major part in the final battle. After said monster's destruction, the SSP website has achieved a grand total of 240 million worldwide views, thus marking it as their greatest success.
The group's name is simply one letter short from SSSP (Science Special Search Party), the main investigation attack team from Ultraman . Instead of being website managers, the original idea behind the SSP was to follow the example of Kogoro Akechi, the fictional character from Edogawa Ranpo's novel series, The Boy Detectives Club. [22]
VTL Squad (ビートル隊, Bītoru-tai, Versatile Tactical Leader) [lower-alpha 12] is an international military organization founded under the United Nations branch and is based on Paris. They possess a connection to the independent group SSP via their captain, Shibukawa and the Kofune Manufacturing in terms of mechanics. [1] While originally a simple military organization, frequent monster attacks starting from the advent of Maga-Basser in Japan forced them to revise their arsenal and combat strength in order to efficiently combat against monster attacks. [23] After Orb as Thunder Breastar endangered both a Z-VTOL pilot and Naomi, VTL labelled the Ultra Warrior as a public enemy until he saved the SSP members during Zeppandon's rampage. [6] During Jugglus Juggler's capture and Magatano-Orochi's revival, VTL members decides to take account of Juggler's warning and his advice to stop the monster by destroying the Tokyo Tower (the centerpoint of its revival) with their Spiner R-1 missile but realises too late that they were tricked into fulfilling their prophesied destruction.
According to Kiyotaka Taguchi, VTL is a small contrast to most of the attack teams from past Ultra Series as this team lacks a research department, further explaining their ties to SSP. This is also due to Taguchi himself viewing them as "ordinary street officers", wanting to give the SSP a larger screen time. [19] Unlike other regular officers, high ranking VTL Squad members were previously Japanese government officials instead of top soldiers. [24]
War Deity (戦神, Ikusagami) is an ancient war deity in Planet Kanon. Born from the Tree of Life, the War Deity functions as the protector of the Tree of Life from its own sibling, Queen Bezelve. According to the ancient prophecy, their destined encounter would cause the destruction of the universe itself. The War Deity's image is used as the royal insignia of Kanon, both royalty and its soldiers.
The War Deity's power was invoked twice by Amate in hopes of peacefully negotiating with the Queen Bezelve. Unfortunately both occasions turned out to be a trap in hopes of using the War Deity as a bomb to spread Kugutsu to the entire universe until the intervention of Orb and other Ultra Warriors saved her.
The characters of the Royal Planet Kanon (王立惑星カノン, Ōritsu Wakusei Kanon) appear exclusively in Ultraman Orb: The Origin Saga . The planet itself bears a giant tree called the "Tree of Life" (命の樹, Inochi no Ki), which supports all lives on said planet. In the past, the giant tree created both War Deity and the Queen Bezelve as symbols of light and darkness. When the Tree of Life was destroyed by Juggler, another seed on Earth regrows into the same tree, therefore sustaining its life force.
The War Deity is voiced by Saki Fukuda, Amate's actress and designed by Jun Takeuchi.
The Kanon Royal Guards (カノン近衛兵, Kanon Konoe-hei) are guardsmen that protected the planet's royal bloodline, and concurrently the queen Amate herself.
The Ultra Warriors (ウルトラ戦士, Urutora senshi) refer to past Ultraman from their original series and appearances.
In the original series, several of them fought the Lord Monsters in the past and used their powers of Ultra Fusion Cards to seal them. In the present day, the power of these cards can be negated by Monster Cards which blocked their sealing property to reawaken Lord Monsters until Ultraman Orb stops them. He harvested the past Ultra Warriors' powers through the crystals left by destroyed Lord Monsters and added them to his strength. Even if the cards only symbolizes their power, Gai always had the tendency to treat them with great respect. It is also shown that Gai is capable of using the powers of the Ultra Fusion Cards. During the final episode of the original series, they were materialized from their respective cards to assist Orb Origin in his final battle against Magatano-Orochi.
Each of Ultra Warriors' Ultra Fusion Card bears different elements represented by a kanji character on their Color Timer, symbolizing their traits and specialties.
Psychi (サイキ) is an Alien Wraith (レイフ星人, Reifu Seijin) scientist and is the main antagonist of Ultraman Orb: The Origin Saga . After grieving over the loss of his parents in a war, Psychi met and was manipulated by the Queen into assisting her with spreading the Kugutsu to the entire universe while seeking the Tree of Life's fruits in hopes of excluding himself from the infection. On Earth, after witnessing the Queen injured as a result of betraying him, Psychi combined with her via Partel into Psyqueen and effectively relieved him from the need of the Tree of Life. Before Psyqueen's destruction, Partel saved him by separating the fusion while Gai highlighted the errors of his ways.
Psychi is portrayed by Izumi Motoya (和泉 元彌). [4] As a child, Psychi is portrayed by Shouta Ikoma (生駒 星汰, Ikoma Shōta).
Partel (パーテル, Pāteru) is Psychi's AI that assist him in his plans and acted as his sole companion. While played a pivotal role in combining her creator and Queen Bezelve into Psyqueen, she saved him in the last minute and deactivated after taking a hit from an incoming rubble meant for Shinra and Ricca. [29]
Partel is voiced by Riho Iida (飯田 里穂, Iida Riho), who is the voice actress for Aki Miyashita/Agira in Kaiju Girls . As the character is her first non-human voice role, Riho expressed her excitement for the role and wished to portray Partel in a more attractive manner in the future. [30]
Space Devil Queen Bezelve (宇宙悪魔 クイーンベゼルブ, Uchū Akuma Kuīn Bezerubu) is the actual antagonist of Ultraman Orb: The Origin Saga. [4] Long ago when the Tree of Life disperse its fruits to outer space, the Queen was born alongside her sibling War Deity. As the antithesis of her own sibling, the Queen was meant to destroy the Tree of Life and erase free will from outer space, causing affected life forms to slowly die and civilizations perish. To that end she manipulated Psychi into his cooperation and eventually Amate into transforming as the War Deity. The infection of her sibling would cause her Kugutsu to spread across the space. Although having outright abandoned Psychi, the two were combined by Partel into Psyqueen (サイクイーン, Saikuīn) before her death by the Ultra Warriors.
The Queen Bezelve's main ability is to manipulate her own children and victims of Kugutsu, rapidly grows in strength when infected victims tend to win on a fight. She is capable of taking an upright position from her hunching state, symbolizing her constant mutation. In addition, her cries can also be misinterpreted by others as a cry for help.
The Bezelves are designed by Hiroshi Maruyama, a freelance designer that previously affiliated to Tsuburaya Productions until 2008. [31]
Kugutsu Monsters (クグツ怪獣, Kugutsu Kaijū) are monsters under infections by Bezelve in The Origin Saga.
Great Lord Monster Maga-Orochi (大魔王獣 マガオロチ, Dai Maō-jū Maga Orochi, 11, 12) is the main antagonist of Ultraman Orb, representing as Chapter 6 of Ultraman Orb Chronicle. Hailed from the Monster Galaxy (モンスター銀河, Monsutā Ginga), Maga-Orochi consumed various planets in its path. After landing on Earth, Orochi created six other Lord Monsters and Orochi kidnapped Princess Tamayura before it was sealed by Zoffy, permanently trapped in its egg state. Although Gai believed that Jugglus' efforts to awaken it were thwarted after all six of the Lord Monster had been "destroyed", he simply used their cards and with Belial's card, the seal made by Zoffy's Ultra Fusion Card broke, allowing Maga-Orochi to reawaken once more. Orb tried to stop it but was quickly defeated and went to sleep afterwards. After waking up and resuming its reign of terror, Maga-Orochi soon destroyed Princess Tamayura, Gai to transform into Orb's Thunder Breastar form. Unlike before, Maga-Orochi found itself weakened by both Belial and Zoffy's powers before being obliterated by Zedcium Ray. Its severed tail was salvaged by Juggler in the formation of Zeppandon, which ultimately led to his own downfall when said tail carried the Orbcalibur which Gai retrieved to assume Orb Origin. As it seemed that Maga-Orochi had died, in truth it was actually a juvenile and eventually left its body to the Earth's crust as part of its life cycle. The monster spent its entire time eating the grounds nutrients and its presence caused multiple monsters to leave Japan and alien saucers to depart from Earth. After being tricked by Juggler into firing the Spiner R1 missile, VTL Squad accidentally assisted Orochi's revival into Giga Lord Monster Magatano-Orochi (超大魔王獣 マガタノオロチ, Chō Dai Maō-jū Magatano Orochi, 24, 25). Orb tries to fight against the monster but was defeated after both of his strongest forms, Thunder Breastar and Orb Origin proven ineffective, as well as being shot in his own Color Timer. Orb faced the monster again, this time with the help of Juggler and the SSP/VTL exposed Magatano-Orochi's weakness, allowing him to channel the power of past Ultra Warriors to defeat the monster once and for all.
By itself, Maga-Orochi travels across other planets by turning itself into an egg called as Maga-Soul (マガ魂, Maga Tamashī) and creates other Lord Monsters by tapping into Earth elements. Maga-Orochi's main attack is Maga Thunderclap (マガ迅雷, Maga Jinrai), launching a bolt of lightning from its mouth. As Magatano-Orochi, the monster gained access to the signature abilities of past Lord Monster in addition to its own attack, Magatano Thunderclap (マガタノ迅雷, Magatano Jinrai). Its main weakness is a wounded spot on the right side of its lower jaw, which was a result of Maga-Orochi crushing the sacred tree in Kamio Park while sending off its energies underground, causing certain part of the monster to be defect.
Lord Monsters (魔王獣, Maō-jū) were antagonists that appeared in the original series. [1] Their origin traces back to the ancient past where Maga-Orochi's egg reached the Earth and gave birth when its power taps into the Earth elements. Due to being the "distorted personification of Earth elements", they possessed the ability to change nature, hence past Ultras choose to seal them instead of killing to preserve the Earth. They were awakened by Jugglus through the use of his Dark Ring and Monster Cards and possess Maga Crystals on their heads which allowed Gai to claim the corresponding Ultra Fusion Cards should they be defeated but at the same time, it also allowed Jugglus to claim theirs in hopes of awakening Maga-Orochi.
To awaken a sealed Lord Monster, Jugglus need to send in Monster Cards of the similar attribute as a counteract to the sealed Ultra Warrior energy and to feed them with the cards' powers. Most of these monsters are original to the series, while others are reincarnation of monsters from past Ultra Series. Due to them being present in the past, their activities were recorded in the present day by the Pacific Records (太平風土記, Taihei Fudoki).
Planetary Invasion Coalition (惑星侵略連合, Wakusei Shinryaku Rengō) is a mysterious group which bends on conquering the Earth in episode 6 to 20 of the original series. The group's main transportation is a twin-conjoined saucer (based on Alien Metron's saucer from episode 8 of Ultraseven) which had the function to trap people in a dimensional distortion. They collaborated with Jugglus Juggler but eventually went defunct after his betrayal and Tarde's destruction by Orb.
Civil Judgementer Galactron (シビルジャッジメンター ギャラクトロン, Shibiru Jajjimentā Gyarakutoron, 14, 15, Movie) is robot created by Gillvalis, which had been responsible for attacking multiple dimensions due to its warlike status. During its arrival on Earth, Galactron received its name from Naomi, who combined it under the proposed names Galaxy Dragon (ギャラクシードラゴン, Gyarakushī Doragon) by Jetta and Salvatron (サルヴァトロン, Saruvatoron) by Shin. After landing besides the Kofune Manufacturing, VTL and the warehouse's crew decided to analyze the robot, but said robot at the same time analyzing the Earth and its cultures. Once completed its task, it awoke and captured Naomi to be used as its speech interpreter, trying to reset Earth due to finding it corrupted, as well as believing how the planet's ecosystem being wrong and contemplating to eliminate all lifeforms. Orb tried to attack the robot but was quickly overpowered and defeated instantly when it pierced towards his body. Seeing the collateral damage Galactron made, Gai had no choice but to use Thunder Breastar and wreak the robot apart with his immense power, which almost cost Naomi her own life. Gai speculated that Galactron's invention was deemed a failure by his creators, thus prompting them to perform illegal dumping towards other dimensions.
In Ultraman Orb The Movie, Galactron was rebuilt and modified by Murnau as one of her minions, now renamed as Strange Mechanical Revised Dragon Galactron (奇機械改竜 ギャラクトロン, Ki Kikai Kairyū Gyarakutoron) which served her purpose to turn everything into jewellery. This machine fought against Ultraman Orb (Orb Origin) and Ultraman Zero before being defeated. [39]
Galactron's main weapons are Galactron Shaft (ギャラクトロンシャフト, Gyarakutoron Shafuto) capture claw which took the appearance of its "braid", Galactron Blade (ギャラクトロンブレード, Gyarakutoron Burēdo) sword from its left arm that can be extended in a manner of a spear and a catcher claw on its right arm that can be ejected and remotely controlled as a drone. Its strongest attack is Galactron Spark (ギャラクトロンスパーク, Gyarakutoron Supāku), which is capable of decimating a countryside with relative ease. After being rebuilt by Murnau, Galactron's chest now wielded the ability to fire Galactron Gem Spark (ギャラクトロンジェムスパーク, Gyarakutoron Jemu Supāku), turning everything on its firing range into jewels.
Space Witch Thief Murnau (宇宙魔女賊 ムルナウ, Uchū Majo Zoku Murunau) is the main antagonist of Ultraman Orb the Movie. An evil space sorceress, she fancied upon pretty things and added them to her collection by turning them into jewellery. Her first appearance is chronologically in Chapter 2-1 of Ultraman Orb Chronicle, conspiring with Dr. Jiggle to scare the entire residence of Planet Cobol and claim its supply of jewels. She escaped after Gai foil her plans, leaving behind the Earth jewel for Orbcalibur.
In Orb the Movie, having captured the Ultra Warriors Ginga and Victory, she set her sight on the Earth and turned X into one of her jewel collections with the help of her minions.
Through Juggler's own Dark Ring, she used to turn objects and lifeforms that she fancied upon into jewelry for her collections. It also functions by empowering her own strength.
Murnau is portrayed by Japanese comedian Oniyakko Tsubaki (椿 鬼奴, Tsubaki Oniyakko).
Strange Mechanical Alien Alien Gapiya "Sadis" (奇機械宇宙人 ガピヤ星人 サデス, Ki Kikai Uchūjin Gapiya Seijin Sadesu) is one of the supporting antagonist of Ultraman Orb the Movie.
First appeared in Chapter 2-3 of Ultraman Orb Chronicle, Sadis was once a bodyguard employed by Count Orlock in Planet Ganun Api and assisting him in destroying his own Enmanium mine. He fought against Gai when the latter try to foil their plans and seemingly killed after falling into a volcano. After his defeat, he was given a cybernetic reconstruction to save his life while employed by Murnau as a member of her Dark Alien Army to get his rematch with Gai. When Orb and X fought against Darebolic, Sadis dealt with the former and quickly defeated by Orb Trinity. After reforming from his previous destruction, Sadis fought the Ultras again and was sliced into half by Orb Trinity's Trinitium Giga Slash upon congratulating his opponent for putting up with a good fight.
His weapons are Gapiya Snake (ガピヤ・スネイク, Gapiya Suneiku) arm cannon and Sadestein (サデステイン, Sadesutein) sword. His main finisher is an energy punch Galactica Sadisfaction (ギャラクティカ・サデスファクション, Gyarakutika Sadesufakushon).
Sadis is voiced by Kōichi Yamadera (山寺 宏一, Yamadera Kōichi), [15] [40] who previously done the dub voice for Lloyd Wilder in Ultraman: Towards the Future.
Strange Mechanical Monster Darebolic (奇機械怪獣 デアボリック, Ki Kikai Kaijū Deaborikku) is a monster in Ultraman Orb the Movie, created by Murnau via her Dark Ring to convert the entire Earth into jewels. Having fought against Orb and X, Darebolic managed to freeze the latter and add it to Murnau's collection until Juggler banished the Dark Ring to a wormhole, causing the petrified Ultras to be freed. During the climax of the battle, Seven interfered and easily penetrated the Darebolic Cannon, allowing Orb to deliver his counterattack and defeating both Sadis and the monster with Trinitium Giga Slash.
Its main armaments is a myriad of cannons on its body and a thick set of armor that is resilient to most attacks. Through the Gem Arm (ジェムアーム, Jemu Āmu) cannon on its right hand, Darebolic can launch an attack called Jewelric Blaze (ジュエリックブレーズ, Juerikku Burēzu), turning its targets into jewels instantly. Once Sadis's hands were docked to Darebolic's back, the monster unveils Darebolic Cannon (デアボリックキャノン, Deaborikku Kyanon) from its mouth.
The Dark Alien Army (闇の宇宙人軍団, Yami no Uchūjin Gundan) is an alien faction in Ultraman Orb The Movie. [40]
Super Sky Great Evil Beast Desastro (超空大凶獣 デザストロ, Chōkū Dai Kyōjū Dezasutoro) is an antagonist of chapter 8 of Ultraman Orb Chronicle, serving as the connection between the endings of Ultraman X The Movie and Ultraman Orb The Movie. As this figure reached the Earth of Ultraman X , Zero requested the help of Ultraman Orb to assist him and the titular Ultra during their fight.
Ghost Sorcerer Reibatos (亡霊魔道士 レイバトス, Bōrei Madō-shi Reibatosu) is the main antagonist of Ultra Fight Orb. Created by the vengeful spirit of past monsters, he sought to rule the universe while leading an army of undead monsters against the Ultra Warriors.
