After watching Ultraman for many years, my perspective on the franchise has changed over time. I started to ask questions like "Who is the best Ultraman" or "Which Ultra series are good or bad". For this blog it's about the villains. Not the monster/alien of the day villain but, the main antagonist of the a series. Now, with all the villains we have since the beginning, we would have enough to get from Earth to Saturn and backbut, I'm referring to the "good villians". For me, Gul Dukat, Hannibal Lecter, the Cigarette Smoking Man, Dr. Tomoe (the original animated version), and Newman are some of my favorites, and for many too. But in the tokusatsu genre, those gems come very far and few. Most are two dimensional, evil for the purpose of just being evil, power hungry tyrants, and always use small children in their plans. So finding some antagonists I could get behind in this series was hard. But, with that here are my choices for this blog.



The Dark Four Heavenly Kings: To start of with my favorite series, here is my favorite antagonists. This group, who serve the lord of Darkness, Alien Empera, consist of Yapool, Deathrem, Grozam, and a Mefilas alien. To start, Yapool, who should have his own spot, already accomplishes many things, being the first main antagonist and for taking a major part in his fight for conquest. He creates his own army of Choju, aligns himself with many species of aliens, and in many cases takes the fight to the protagonist himself. In this group, he sends a couple of Choju to cause chaos, traps Miari (Ultraman Mebius) and two others in his own futuristic dimension, and toys with Miaris party as well. Deathrem, holds the attack team Crew GUYS hostsge, forcing Mebius to surrender and have everyone lose thier faith in him. Grozam just kills Mebius, and Mefilas plays a game of opposites and has everyone try to kill the red giant (and makes him break out in tears over finding his crew wanting to kill him as well).

Chaos Header: A good example of villain causing trouble for other motives is shown in this baddy. It destroys planets, infects others into his own image all because he was created to bring justice to the universe but, his obsession with this helps no one but himself. During his time on Earth, he infects many victims including Ultraman Cosmos himself, and taking many forms to fight the blue giant himself. At the end of the long campaign, Chaos Header as Chaos Darkness is purified and becomes a giant golden guardian who protects the various monsters he tried to infect.

Ultraman Belial: Originally a giant of light, who was banished for his greedy acts and with some added help from a very malevolent Reiblood alien, becomes the most feared entity ever faced. Ultraman Belial starts another great war with his Giga Battle Nizer and army of monsters, planned to conquer his own homeworld. He fails but, is brought back centuries later and starts his wave a terror again. In this time, he freezes the land of light, makes another army monsters (then combing them into the monsters into a voltron like monster), manufacturing his own army of robots a starting a giant galatic empire, and then turning his arch enemy Ultraman Zero, into the ultimate killing machine. Also, he's still alive, mostly seen on the Arzino Hall Show.

Black Directive: For the series that didn't know whether or not to be dark or light hearted, it definitely wasn't sunshine and school idols when this humanoid came to town. Black Directive, with his fleet of saucer monsters, already achieve many things in their first appearance. Silver Bloome, the first, destroys MAC, kills Gens (Ultraman Leo) closest friends and forces him and Toru (the only one left) into a slighty larger house. Overtime, they have caused lots of chaos mainly with monsters like Satan Mora, Nova, and Deemos. The cloaked alien even aligns himself with a Bunyo alien who captured Leo and allowed him to cut his nemesis with a jigsaw to pieces (he's revived soon after). In the end though, not even his toughest monster Black End couldnt save him from turning into a pile of green foam because of some children. Some what anti-climatic.

So, if not these guys, then who would you say is the baddest, bad guy but, for now, that's all I got to say.
