Wow, you really know a lot about this, it seems the Ultramen themselves have inspirations from the Christian religion, I mean, look at the defeat of Ultraseven. Tsuburaya most likely was influenced because he became a Roman catholic when he was older, most likely the influence was his wife (who, according to his book was a Roman Catholic). There's a lot of symbolism on the Ultra series of this, the cross sign with the Specium Ray, Seven's crux for example may represent a message that in real life our hero Jesus was crucified in the cross to save us all, and he maybe said the message through how Seven gave his life to save humanity... perhaps?
