Do you think Great, Powered and Seven 21 can destroy the Leo Bros in other ways aside Ultra Will power?

Great has the same age as Ace

Powered has the same age as Jack

Seven 21 is older than Seven

If I recall correctly

Hi!

Great is actually 2000 years older than Ace

Powered is 2000 years younger than Jack

Seven 21 is 1000 years older than Seven

For reference, Leo and Astra are 10 000 years old

So if you remove Ultra Psychokinesis, then you're looking at purely physical stats as well as beam potency.

However, as mentioned before with regards to M78 vs L77 Ultras, we don't know how L77 Ultras scale with age, because we only have literally a single point of reference for L77 ultras with regards to physical stats.

So we could probably just go by the simple logic of if Seven trained Leo, so Seven > Leo. Which means that Seven 21 and Great can defeat Leo. Leaving Powered undetermined as he would be 2000 years younger than Seven (because we dont know the scaling to interpolate)

Otherwise, if you wanna go by feats, its kinda hard to scale as well as even if you went by the original Leo series, where Leo barely managed to hold his own against at least 2 Ultra Brothers, in the same sequence, a single Ultra Brother was also seemingly on equal footing with the Alien Valky that was disguised as Astra at the time.

And Leo's planet busting attack isnt much to compare either as in Mebius, his combination attack with Astra was clearing the sunspots at the same rate as a single ultra brother's finisher.

Even fast forwarding to UFV and UGF3, Leo still seems to be keeping up with the Ultra Brothers comparatively, against the choju in the former and against AT in the latter.

Tho its important to point out that Powered's main gimmick seems to be his Mega Specium Beam, which is 5x stronger than Ultraman's own Specium Beam, which I dont think Leo can actually tank it.

On the other hand as mentioned, we dont know if Leo can scale to a 15 000 year old M78 Ultra physically, so thats inconclusive.

Thanks for the question!

Kaiju Week in Review (March 26-April 1, 2023)

Sadao Iizuka died on March 24 at the age of 88. One of the last living links to the first Godzilla film, he had an incredibly prolific career in tokusatsu as an optical artist, with his work including Godzilla's atomic breath, King Ghidorah's gravity beams, and Ultraman's specium ray. Most of his work on Toho kaiju films was in the Showa era, but he also contributed animation to every one from 1993 to 1997, plus Final Wars and, believe it or not, Shin Ultraman. Rest in peace.

If you'd like to learn more about his career, Brett Homenick published a couple of very expansive interviews here and here.

Chibi Godzilla Raids Again premiered on April Fools Day with a lot of bickering between the worldly Chibi Mechagodzilla and the sweet Chibi Godzilla. No official translation yet, but fellow Wikizilla bureaucrat Les went through the on-screen captions to write a lengthy summary.

Godziban is celebrating Godzilla vs. Megalon's 50th with a multipart episode, the first installment of which also went up on April Fools' Day. The Three Godzilla Brothers get the filmmaking itch again, and Gigan and Megalon are as gloriously dumb as ever.

Kamen Rider and Man Spider—sorry, "Masked Rider" and "Kumo Augment"—have joined Godzilla Battle Line. With this, every lead from the Shin Japan Heroes Universe is part of the game, making it one of the most elaborate Godzilla crossovers ever (remember, Kong's there too). I doubt Rider actually becomes kaiju-sized in Shin Kamen Rider, but there is some precedent for it. Both units are apparently game-changers too.

Penguin will be publishing a Godzilla picture book the day after Christmas by Olivia Luchini, titled Love from Godzilla. No cover yet, but here's the description:

Share the love with Godzilla! This hardcover gift book, complete with monstrously adorable illustrations of everyone’s favorite kaijus, is perfect for that special someone.

Sick of the Skull Island cartoon taking forever to come out? Make your own story. Evil Genius Games has opened preorders for its Kong: Skull Island Cinematic Adventure RPG, to be released on June 1, although you can buy the PDF right now. As someone whose introduction to tabletop RPGs was Toho Kingdom's D20 section, I'm beyond thrilled, not the least because the book thanks Wikizilla and our resident King Kong expert, The Boy Who Cried Godzilla. And as you can see, there are some new monsters in the mix.

Preorders are also open for their Pacific Rim RPG; same release date. They're hoping to expand on both via crowdfunding; the Kickstarter starts May 9.

Bandai released a short, baffling video about an unspecified Shin Japan Heroes Universe project on April Fools' Day. Very suspicious timing, but there's nothing in here that really reads as a prank; this crossover has been around for a while now. Cool animation too.

Toho didn't do anything Godzilla-related for 4/1 this year, probably to avoid upstaging the shows that released actual episodes that day. But I did write a Wikizilla article on past pranks if you'd like a stroll down memory lane.

[tyrantisterror]

So fun fact on the Baltan's not wanting Mars! The Science Patrol figure out later on in the episode that the reason they don't want Mars is because there's massive amounts of Specium, which isn't present on earth and it's toxic to them. Which is also what Ultraman's beams are made of, which helps with the new abilities they garner later on in the original series. Also it's weird that by that list you gave I've somehow seen more of Ultraman than you at this point. We should fix that at some point.

I have so much Ultraman to binge. Someday... someday...

[vbartilucci]

Just on the off chance that people don't know, Golgotha is the name of the mountain on which Christ was crucified. in case the scene wasn't on point enough.

Tsuburaya PACKED Ultraman with Christian imagery - the specium beam final attack is done by the hands forming a cross.

So, apparently, crucifixion in Super Sentai is a trope going all the way back to the first series, Himitsu Sentai GoRanger. This did not get started with Sentai though as Crucifixion in Toku dates back to at least Ultraseven* in 1967:

Perhaps even more (in)famously is the scene from 1972′s Ultraman Ace where the Ultra Brothers are crucified on the Planet Gologotha as a trap for the new hero.

This scene is actually so famous in the series that it got a scene set release in the Ultra Act toyline from Bandai.

I think this got started because the creator of Ultraman and Ultraseven, Eiji Tsuburaya, was a Catholic who liked to infuse Christian religious imagery into his work.  The classic Ultraman specium beam pose is supposed to resemble a cross,  the ultimate ward against evil.

The actual meaning of crucifixion was apparently lost and seen as just a means of restraint before an execution.  Or maybe the meaning was stripped away and the original intent as an archaic, barbaric form of execution restored.

The Super Sentai series above are (in order of the pictures):

Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger

Himitsu Sentai GoRanger

J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai

Choudenshi Bioman

Hikari Sentai Maskman

Choujin Sentai Jetman

and then two instances from:

Hyakujyuu Sentai GaoRanger

*The episode of Ultraseven featuring the hero’s crucifixion was accidentally aired (in dubbed form) by TNT in the United States on Easter Sunday, an act that upset several of their viewers considering TNT is based in the Conservative Southern city of Atlanta.

File #2. Bemular (Extraterrestrial Serpent)

Bemular was first sighted by the SSSP drifting through space until suddenly it changed course and immediately directed itself towards Earth where it eventually made contact with The Ultraman orbiting the planet, the two creatures would be locked in combat as they both crashed towards the planets surface and eventually made impact at Lake Ryugamori. The Ultraman would dissipate after three minutes leaving Bemular to wander and recover across Earths surface. Wide spread panic about these two behemoths would lead to the SSSP revealing themselves to the public, and the SSSP’s first offensive attack on an extraterrestrial species, these attacks would prove useless on Bemular, and showed the creatures ability to shoot a concentrated beam of ionized particles. Bemular’s rampage would follow into the nearby city until miraculously The Ultraman would reappear, bursting out of the side of a Law Firm building. The two creatures second battle would end with the area around The Ultraman rising to extreme temperatures, and The Ultraman crossing their arms, and from them burst a beam aimed directly at Bemular causing the creatures demise. The next day Shin Hayata would be introduced as a new member of the SSSP. Multiple tests have concluded that the residual particles in the area are the same emitted from the β Capsule, this new particle has been named by SSSP officials as Specium-133

(I used to work at that Law Firm. - Shin Hayata)

[ultramanultimo]

You know it occurred to me why Jackel swelled up like that only recently because I learned (thank you Gundam Seed and Super Atragon) what happens to a human body exposed to high levels and frequencies of radioactive/microwave heat.

They POP.

The Ultra’s Specium/Spacium beams are composed of a radioactive element they naturally generate possibly due to their bodies absorbing solar radiation.

They were fucking BOILING Jackel's inner fluids.

THAT is why kaiju usually explode when a specium beam hits them, Ultramen literally expose the monster to rapid thermal expansion of their body fluids and the result is KA-BOOM.

So not only does it look awesome but suddenly it’s alot more darker than you’d think when you see a character explode in a tokusatsu or super sentai production.

Hell, if Anno and Higuchi wanted Shin Ultraman to be darker, they coulda realistically showed what happens when people are even nearby Ultraman when he fires off the beam. Thank god they didn’t.

[destroyer-of-monsters]

Digelos defeated, and his horns too!

• Ultraman Arc Episode 3

[thekaijudude]

Ok, so I was going to ask people on physics.stackexchange.com this question, but then I decided to ask you so as to make it easier on myself. So, here’s the actual question: 

In a world where any two forms of energy can be mixed and/or compounded in the same sense as how two chemical elements can be mixed and/or compounded, what would you say the Specium Ray is (as far as its composition), why is the Specium Ray considered the most basic Ultra Beam technique, how is the Specium Ray generated and fired by Ultras (biologically speaking), and how does Specium become the other forms of energy seen in other Ultra Beams (Ace’s Metallium Ray, Taro’s Strium Ray, Tiga’s Zeperion Ray, etc.)?

Oh, and just to be clear, by “mixed and/or compounded”, I’m referring to how in chemistry, there’s a difference between a mixture and a compound.

I think its better to remove the prerequisite that "two forms of energy can be mixed" part cause THAT specific point has major implications on so many levels of analytical mechanics that im not even going to bother delving into. Plus it dosent even necessarily relate to your actual question

The Specium Ray (Or Ultra Beams in general) seems to work like some form of lasering technique (which ngl, im not really familiar with this cause this is under Applied Physics in my uni's curriculum and im taking Theoretical Physics which they only very briefly talk about lasering)

Not to mention theres alot of Bio and Chem stuff in there that I have no idea how to explain in those context cause its been YEARS since ive took those subjects

iirc why specifically Specium, i believe it was stated somewhere that its because its in abundance in the LoL or sth, so every ultra's base beam is just the Specium Ray. But iirc, its also stated that no 2 Specium Rays are the same like Ultraman and Jack's Specium Ray are different from each other (either in strength and/or other optical properties? Unsure since this was not stated)

Then I suppose over time as the Ultra gets more powerful and experienced, perhaps their inner composition changes and this also naturally alters the properties of their beams? Either that or theres some system in the LoL where Ultras can infuse themselves with other elements to alter their beam by testing their compatibility or sth. Other than the LoL, other Ultras such as ones "born" directly from their power sources like VoL or Noa/King/Blazar might have just been naturally born with their own variations. The DoL mightve worked the same way as the LoL

Thanks for the question!

[ukiyaseed]

From First Love: Hatsukoi, Episode 5 “Talk in Sign Language”

No, but you ended up becoming a Kamen Rider. Also it is today that I learned that the Japanese sign language for Ultraman is the Specium Beam pose.

[radroller]

I feel like i had a real Berenstein/Berenstain experience with the spelling of “Spacium Beam” bc for the longest time i swear everything spelled it “Specium” when i first got into Ultraman.

Guide to Gridman Universe Part 3j + Guide to ULTRAMAN Part 3d: ULTRAMAN SUIT ANOTHER UNIVERSE x SSSS.Gridman

In spring 2022 a special collaboration took place between SSSS.Gridman and the ULTRAMAN anime. The two properties had always had something of a link, bother being Tsuburaya anime released within 6 months of eachother, but it was now that a few special foods were produced, and a few things were done to mark the occasion.

This image, of Gridman using the Grid Beam and ULTRAMAN the Specium Ray, was around the time of release.

This logo was made for the collaboration. If we were to take the merged names literally it would read "Special Signature Science Save Special Soul Search . Party"

Symphogear XD relaunched both series' events, with a new combined attack card for Maria and Hibiki.

The standout feature was a two part story in ULTRAMAN SUIT ANOTHER UNIVERSE, interrupting the flow of the 8U story.

Chapter 28

Shinjiro awakens in class to a lecture on rose buds, having returned with Seiji from attachment to the Dive Hanger, Moroboshi now being considered adequate security there. As he's trying to work out what is out of place, an alien is sighted attacking the city, and he can't find his phone or transfer device. As the alien approaches, Gridman suddenly appears between them, and turns to Shinjiro, telling him to remember his mission.

Ide, Edo, Hayata, Seiji, and Moroboshi remotely, monitor the unconsciousness Shinjiro and Maya, Shinjiro hooked up to her. SSSP's mainframe suddenly found itself attacked by an unknown entity, Maya isolated the network within herself and shut down to prevent spread, her last words being "Rosebud". Edo determined the threat was probably an Arteric Seijin, able to hack the system and slowly eroding Maya even as she's shut down. The immediate solution would be to destroy her. An alternate plan was decided with Shinjiro, Ide admitting Shinjiro seems to have started merging with the ULTRAMAN Suit, as after Gatonothor when it was taken for repairs it was found with less weight than expected, and this continued to be noted after subsequent recoveries, after he survived the LOPS incident unscathed they had to make a proper investigation, and found beyond the expected Ultraman Factor based mutations, evidence the Suit was merging with Shinjiro. Until now only Ide, Edo and Fuji had known, although Maya must have known, and at this point fusion is so great separating would be virtually impossible. However, this made it possible to send Shinjiro into Maya's network to try and purge the Arteric Seijin.

Gridman explains his mission, and that he came to try and protect this Computer World, able to enter via Maya's somewhat isolated network, and reminds Shinjiro why he came, only then is Shinjir able to materialise his Transfer Device and become ULTRAMAN.

ULTRAMAN flies to the side of the human size Gridman, whose black thrusters have been damaged, and so calls Sky Vitter, joining to become Sky Gridman. They fight it, holding it off, and then use the Grid Beam and Specium Ray at Arteric Seijin. However, despite it being destroyed, the Computer World is still being destroyed.

(Diorama Details 1: Hayata Shinjiro looks out the window, seeing Gridman looking in at him. 2: Gridman performs a Grid Beam alongside ULTRAMAN using the Specium Ray.)

Chapter 29

Gridman leads ULTRAMAN through the Path and brought him to the centre of the Computer World. They locate the Arteric Seijin, giant in the city, and try a Spark Beam and Specium Slash, but it is ineffective, so Gridman opts for heavier firepower, calling Buster Borr and using suppressing fire, them merging onto Buster Gridman, and repels the Arteric Seijin.

Shinjiro is shocked to see the Zero Lance being wielded by LOPS ZERO, taking a moment to realise it is a recreation from Maya's data. He catches the Zero Lance with a Specium Blade, LOPS ZERO the uses Zero Sluggers at Buster Gridman. Gridman then calls the Gridman Calibur.

Shinjiro stops Gridman, relating how Maya captured him within LOPS before, and suspects Maya's consciousness may be trapped in this version. Unwilling to risk harming Maya, Gridman sends ULTRAMAN to attack Arteric Seijin, while he holds off LOPS, using the Grid Light Saber and Gridman Calibur Axe Mode.

Hayata, Edo and Seiji watch Ide suddenly receive a call, and be informed the ULTRAMAN Suit has sent a request for all processing power they can spare from the super computer Iwamoto II, which Ide grants special permission to use all resources due to the current situation, recognising this as a unique case of the merging, Shinjiro was able to make the request.

Shinjiro returns his thoughts to the battle, as Gridman's Gran Acceptor was broken, but he still helps hold off, calling Battle Tracto Max and merging into Max Gridman.

Following the clue left by Maya, ULTRAMAN targets Arteric Seijin's abdomen, and seeing the attack work, releases the limiter, attacking forcefully with the Specium Blades. Tearing it to pieces, he finds Maya within, and pulls her free, cutting Arteric Seijin to pieces.

Seeing that Maya is safe, Gridman is prepared to attack properly, as LOPS adds 4 new arms. Full Power Gridman forms, using a Grid Full Power Finish as LOPS attempts to repel with Zero Lance, Zero Slugger and EX Rifles unsuccessfully, being bisected, the miniature main body of Arteric Seijin escaping. ULTRAMAN is drained, but Gridman Calibur is sent to be in, and he uses the Ultra Grid Calibur End to destroy Arteric Seijin.

Seiji, Hayata and Ide watch Shiniro and Maya awaken and rush in, as Edo and Moroboshi observe relieved. They recall how after Arteric Seijin was defeated Gridman merged with Maya to regain his true form, and used the Fixer Beam to restore both systems. After, the three spoke in the Paddock. Gridman offered to separate Shinjiro's body, but he decides to stay like this, since it may allow him to save others in the future. Gridman sent Shinjiro and Maya down the Passroute to return, and set off to Hyper World.

(Diorama Details 1: In the Computer World, ULTRAMAN using the Specium Blade and Gridman using the Gridman Light Saber, confront LOPS wielding the Zero Lance. 2: Full Power Gridman is born, as ULTRAMAN wields the Gridman Calibur.)

Arteric Seijin

Uchusen included a special photo story using the live action suits of ULTRAMAN and Gridman, essentially a shortened telling of the ULTRAMAN Suit Another Universe story. If I'm following correctly it's told from the perspective of Gridman Calibur.
