Ultraman Rosso

Ultraman Rosso (ウルトラマンロッソ) is one of the two main heroes of Ultraman R/B, and is the elder brother of Ultraman Blu.

Etymology
His name means "Red" in Italian, which refers to his main form's body color being red.

Before R/B
At some unknown time in the past, a meteor crashed down in what became Ayaka City, making a massive crater and unleashed Grugeo Bone. The R/B brothers fought it, but they lost, scattering the R/B Crystals.

Present
In the present day, Rosso and Blu return to fight Grugeo Bone again through the Minato brothers Katsumi and Isami.

Body Features

 * Color Timer (カラータイマー): Rosso possesses a circle shaped Color Timer.
 * Ultra Armor: Rosso has the standard Ultra Armor.
 * Protectors (プロテクター): Rosso possess protectors on his chest area that represents the element of the form he is in.

Transformation
Katsumi takes an R/B Crystal from the R/B Crystal Holder and flips out the side horns of the crystal. He then inserts the crystal and the R/B Gyro opens. The Gyro is placed at chest level and the handles are pulled twice. Katsumi then thrusts the Gyro forward and pulls the handles one last time and places the Gyro on his chest, before transforming utilizing the elemental power of the crystal. When swapping crystals with Isami, instead of getting the crystal from the holder, the new crystal will appear and fall from above. The same sequence continues afterwards.

 * Weapons


 * R/B Slugger Rosso (ルーブスラッガーロッソ): Rosso's signature weapon that represents a pair of daggers, which are summoned from his crest.
 * Twin Storium Slasher (ツインストリウムスラッシャー): A special attack using the power of the Taro Crystal. It is presumably based on Ultraman Taro's Storium Ray.
 * Cross Spark Shoot (クロススパークシュート): A special attack using the power of the Ginga Crystal. It is presumably based on Ultraman Ginga's Ginga Cross Shoot.
 * Zero Twin Slicer (ゼロツインスライサー): A special attack using the power of the Zero Crystal. It is presumably based on Ultraman Zero's Zero Twin Sword.
 * Double Emerium Edge (ダブルエメリウムエッジ): A special attack using the power of the Seven Crystal. It is presumably based on Ultraseven's Emerium Ray.

Trivia

 * Although fired from a common Ultra Beam position, the Flame Sphere Shoot takes the form of an energy ball. This means Rosso is the second Ultraman overall not to have a traditional Ultra Beam. He is preceeded only by Ultraman Great.
