Ultraman Blu

Ultraman Blu (ウルトラマンブル) is one of the two main heroes of Ultraman R/B and is the younger brother of Ultraman Rosso.

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

Before R/B
1300 years ago, a meteor crashed down in what became Ayaka City, making a massive crater and unleashed Grigio 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 Grigio Bone again, as as well as other monsters summoned by a mysterious enemy, through the Minato brothers - Katsumi and Isami.

Stats

 * Height: 51 m
 * Weight: 43,000 t
 * Weakness: Like all Ultras, Blu is subjected to the three-minutes limit. On occasion, he will revert back to human form even when the time is not up. It also appears that, like the Riser, the R/B Gyro has to cooldown before Isami can transform again.

Body Features

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

Transformation
Isami takes an R/B Crystal from the R/B Crystal Holder and flips out the middle horn 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. Isami 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 Katsumi, instead of getting the crystal from the holder, the new crystal will appear and fall from above. The same sequence continues afterwards.

Standard Abilities

 * Weapons


 * R/B Slugger Blu (ルーブスラッガーブル): Blu is able to summon a sword from his crest when fighting against his opponents.
 * Cross Slugger (クロススラッガー): Rosso and Blu simultaneously deliver an "X" shaped slash at the enemy, destroying them.
 * Deflection: By slashing at an incoming attack, the R/B Slugger can deflect it.
 * R/B Crystal Powers: Using R/B Crystals, Blu can perform finishing attacks with his R/B Slugger. Their appearance/color/element seems to change with Blu's own form.
 * Galaxy Saber (ギャラクシーセイバー): A special attack using the power of the Ginga Crystal. It is presumably based on Ultraman Ginga's Ginga Saber.
 * Dynamite Slash (ダイナマイトスラッシュ): A special attack using the power of the Taro Crystal. It is presumably based on Ultraman Taro's Ultra Dynamite.
 * Spiral Slugger (スパイラルスラッガー): A special attack using the power of the Zero Crystal.
 * Wide Shot Slugger (ワイドショットスラッガー): A special attack using the power of the Seven Crystal. It is presumably based on Ultraseven's Wide Shot.
 * Bringer Slash (ブリンガースラッシュ): A special attack using the power of the Tiga Crystal.
 * Spark Attacker (スパークアタッカー): A special attack using the power of the X Crystal. It is presumably based on Ultraman X's Attacker X.

Trivia

 * The name of his signature Aqua Strium may have been derived from the signature finishers of the Ultras who celebrate their 45th and 20th anniversaries: Taro and Agul. Taro uses the Storium (ストリウム) Ray (it is sometimes spelled Strium as well no matter how little sense it makes) and Agul uses the Agul Stream (ストリーム), and Blu's Aqua Strium (ストリューム) may be an amalgamation of the two former beams' named. "Strium" means nothing on its own and may very well be "Stream" made to sound slightly more similar to "Storium" but without losing its overall essence.
