Alien Bado

"This is the Emperor of the Universe, Alien Bado. I have been here once before to your galaxy. But back then Planet Earth was just a ball of fire. There were no living beings in your galaxy, except on Pluto. However, we annihilated them, because no other beings other than us should be in this galaxy. As this is the case... Of course, Earth is next."

―Alien Bado to Dr. Miyabe, "Project Blue"

History

Pre-Ultraseven

According to Alien Bado, his people visited Earth's solar system, back when Earth was still forming. They wiped out the only form of life in the system at the time, on Pluto. They did this because they believed that no other form of life should exist besides their species.

Ultraseven

Alien Bado was an alien who referred to himself as "The Emperor of Space." He planned on destroying the Earth, along with his fleet, but was forced to take the duty alone as his followers were unable to enter the Earth thanks to a barrier surrounding it known as "Project Blue," created by Dr. Miyabe of the Ultra Garrison. Angered by the scientist's creation, Alien Bado invaded Dr. Miyabe's summer house and transformed it into a ship, where he physiologically tormented Dr. Miyabe as Bado searched for the blueprints to Project Blue. Once the Ultra Garrison found out of Bado's infiltration, they soon arrived on the scene to investigate what was happening until they too, as well as Miyabe’s wife were all attacked by Alien Bado, who attacked with his pistol. During the commotion, Dan transformed into Ultraseven to stop Alien Bado himself, but the alien noticed Ultraseven's presence and so tried to escape Earth with his prisoners. Luckily, Ultraseven grew into his giant size and was able to crash the ship out of the Earth’s atmosphere. However, Bado wasn’t finished yet and he morphed into a giant form to battle Ultraseven as well, grappling and throwing rocks at him before resorting to his spiked knuckle-duster-like weapon. Eventually once an opening was found, Ultraseven hit Bado with one strong punch in the face, knocking Bado into the air and on top of Ultraseven, who then held him up high and slammed him back onto the ground on his head, causing Bado to regurgitate blood before dying.

Trivia

• Alien Bado is the first villainous race that desired to destroy Earth, not conquer it, for no other reason than because they could.
• Although not physically seen, Alien Bado is one of the monsters that makes up Beryudora's back in Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends The Movie.
• Alien Bado was referred to as "Wayne, Lord of the Universe" in the TNT Dub of Ultraseven.
• In the subtitled version of Ultraseven, when Dr. Miyabe asks who is the unknown voice talking to him, Alien Bado says, "This the King of the Universe, the Budd."
• Alien Bado said that he hadn't visited Earth since it was a ball of fire and gas. Alien Bado, in theory, would have to be at least 4.5 billion years old if he visited Earth before any forms of life existed.
• The design of Alien Bado was said to have been influenced by American Special Effects work.
• Bado's battle with Seven was said to be heavily inspired by professional wrestling.
• Originally, multiple human sized Bados were to appear and later merge to form one giant entity at the end of the episode.
• Alien Bado appeared in episode 23 of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, when Space Ghost attempted to get Mystery Science Theater 3000's former host, Joel Hodgson, to make fun of a film with him.
• Their title of "Space Emperor" has been subject to ridicule, especially among the Japanese fandom, because of the original's ridiculous actions in the battle against Ultraseven, the species' roles in future appearances, as well as the appearance of other, much more rightfully titled "Emperors" such as Alien Empera himself.
• Alien Bado is one of the three Ultra-Aliens to appear in a 1996 stage show, assisting Alien Baltan and Alien Pitt in a massive attack on Earth, collaborating with Shocker and even the space monsters, Bemstar and Gigan from Toho. During the huge brawl, Alien Bado is once again, defeated by Ultraseven.

Ultraman Taiga

Alien Bado El-Rey

A hitman named El-Ray was hired by Alien Zetton Zolin of the Villain Guild to assassinate Professor Sachiko Motomiya, who was creating a device that could distinguish aliens from humans. Just as he was about to snipe at her, Mystie appeared and pushed Sachiko out of the way before taking her elsewhere. Hiroyuki Kudo went to fight him, but he called Aribunta from underground to take him away, escaping for now. He went back to Zolin to report to him, but was reprimanded. Later, El-Ray returns, holding Sachiko at gunpoint to corner Mystie. He calls Aribunta again, but it is dealt with by the combined effort of Ultraman Titas and Ultraman Taiga. El-Ray and his subordinate are defeated by Mystie, Homare Soya and Inspector Sakura, who arrests him. ^{Sand Castle}
