History
Zabangi was the weapon of the Alien Nonmalt in their quest for vengeance in destroying Earth after the destruction of the home planet by Humanity. Once the Alien Nonmalt's secret disguise was exposed, Zabangi was released from underground and immediately headed towards O-Parts Storage Facility to attack. Kazamori sent out Windam and Miclas to prevent the monster from reaching the facility while he (as Ultra Seven) stormed the facility himself to save Dan. Zabangi easily overwhelmed both Capsule Monsters and wound up murdering them both by tearing off Miclas's horns and blasting Windam with his Heat Ray (after the latter had been already severely beaten by Zabangi in battle.) Ultimately once Dan was rescued, he recalled the dead Capsule Monsters and transformed into Ultra Seven to face Zabangi himself. However, Ultra Seven was very hesitant in going through with the task of killing him as he knew that Zabangi's duty was merely out of sadness for the tragic fate of what happened to his home planet. However being that he was still in ultra, with great remorse and hesitation, Ultra Seven had no other alternative and promptly slit Zabangi's throat with the Eye Slugger, brutally killing the monster.
