Ultraseven 21

"Are you okay, my friend?"

—Ultraseven 21 to Neos

is an Ultra-Crusader featured in the Direct-to-DVD ultra series Ultraman Neos. He greatly resembles the original Ultraseven.

Ultraman Neos
Ultraseven 21 was originally a member of the Space Garrison and the Space Security Department. When he was about to be assigned to protect the planet Earth, some emergency prevented him from leaving his post. So, the Security Department requested assistance from the Warrior Command Group.

The protection of the Earth fell into the hands of Ultraman Neos, but once Seven 21 was clear, he too traveled to Earth to act as Neos’ backup. The red giant appeared to Neo's host, unleashing the his transformation device sealed within him and instructing him to transform to fight the first Dark Matter monster to appear in Japan. The red giant aided the hero several times, but didn’t go into actual battle until Neos was being double teamed by the monsters Sazora and Nozera. The two heroes managed to vanquish both monsters. All the while 21 took on several human forms, often time taking the image of some one involved with the current situation HEART was investigating.



Ultraseven 21 would continue to aid Neos on and off again until Menschheit’s assassin, Gurale, almost killed Neos. While the red and silver hero managed to vanquish the golden kaiju, he was left wounded. 21 appeared before the dying with Zoffy, giving him much needed energy. On 21's suggestion, Zoffy returned to the Land of Light to gather up the needed life energy to fully heal Neos, warning him not to fight until he returned. Thus, when Menschheit arrived on Earth, it was up to Ultraseven 21 to thwart his attacks.

However, Menschheit’s powerful and bizarre attacks easily overpowered 21. Even when Neos was summoned to his side, both were almost killed at the feet of the warlord. However, an unexpected ally would soon help: the last of the people of Zamu The last member of the race sacrificed himself to recharge both Ultraman Neos and Ultraseven 21. With renewed strength, the pair threw several different energy attacks at the fiend. At long last, Menschheit was killed and the Earth saved. Ultraman Neos separated from his host. Their missions completed, Ultraman Neos and Ultraseven 21 returned to Nebula M78 to await further orders.

 * Like Ultraman Neos, Ultraseven 21 was redesigned in 2001.
 * It is a fan theory that Ultraseven 21 maybe the first son of Ultraseven. There is no evidence to support this.
 * According to M-78.jp (Link: ), Ultraseven 21 was the 21st Ultra warrior. Ironically, his name 21 was also the number of the Ultra warriors introduced. His name 21 also stems from "the 21st century" for Neos was the first series appear in the new millenium.
