Ultraman X (character)

"An unknown giant.... That means... we should call him... X. Ultraman X."

- Shotaro Kamiki and Daichi Ozora, Voice from the Starry Sky

Ultraman X (ウルトラマンエックス), or Ultraman X (ウルトラマンX) is the main hero of his series, with a human host named Daichi Ozora. While not in transformed state, he resides in the XDevisor, communicating with Daichi over time.

Appearance
X has a similar appearance to Ultraman Tiga, but with red, smaller crests on the side and unique armor. He has glowing circles for ears, and an X shaped color timer. He is red, light grey and silver, in the style of classic Ultras, yet similar to them, as his height is around 40 ~ 50 m.

He as well may be considered as odd-one-out compared to other Ultras before him, due to his futuristic design. His hemispheric-shaped ears suspiciously enough resembles headphones, a trait that is notable by fans.

Ultraman X
Sometime ago, Ultraman X fought against an unknown purplish figure in his Flash Travel mode. X emerged victorious, when he knocked his opponent to the sun but this became his undoing, which initiated a solar flare that bathed the Earth in a purple light and awakened Spark Dolls from beneath the Earth. As a result from the battle, X's body was digitized and sent to Earth. During his time on space, he received a strange frequency that originated from Daichi, his future human host.

Fifteen years later, when the monster Demaaga rampaged on a city, he rescued and bonded with a Xio officer Daichi Ozora, where his body was finally re-materialized. X and Daichi where able to confront and destroy Demaaga. After the battle, X seeks Daichi's help in recovering his old physical body as the latter agrees to do so. Starting from his fight with Birdon, X gains the MonsArmor ability from Alien Fanton Guruman, allowing him to use the power of Cyber Kaiju.

Trivia

 * Several of Ultraman X's MonsArmor forms resemble Digimons. Coincidentally, X's series premiers in 2015, the same year Digimon Adventure tri. will be launched. Among them are:
 * Gomora Armor/WarGreymon: both wield huge arm guards with gigantic claws and WarGreymon's breast armor has rope cross, mirroring the Ultra's huge "X" symbol in said armor. Similarly, one of WarGreymon's previous evolution and Champion Form (ja: Adult Level), Greymon, is based on Gomora.
 * Eleking Armor/Omnimon (ja:Omegamon): the Cyber Eleking's head on the armor's left shoulder is designed to be more of a canine, resembling MetalGarurumon's part of said Digimon, and his Blaster Cannon is positioned on his right arm, just like the Garuru Cannon.
 * Alternatively, due to only having the MetalGarurumon parts, it could be similar to MetalGarurumon X
 * Bemstar Armor/Crusadermon (ja:LordKnightmon): both wield huge shields and have pink accents (technically, Crusadermon's Pile Bunker is mainly used for delivering deadly blows but can be used as a makeshift arm guard/shield). The "X" logo on Bemstar Armor's chest even faced forward, similar to Crusadermon's design.
 * Though the Zero Armor is already copied from Ultimate Zero, but this form's closest equivalent is MagnaAngemon (ja:HolyAngemon), where both had transcendent powers and wield an arm blade.
 * Similar to Ultraman Mebius, X's rising scene would include him raising one hand to the screen before switching to the other hand.
 * When donning the MonsArmors, X has a problem with adjusting the armor, claiming it "heavy", meaning that he is probably has a weak stamina.
 * X has the most armor forms, beating Ultraman Zero with four (discounting his stage show armors).
 * X's name might be an abbreviation of the prefix Exo meaning outside in Greek.
 * He may be "outside" of normal ultras since he bleeds data instead of light.
 * He also has a more futuristic design compared to other ultras.
