Alien Barossa are pirate aliens that debut in Ultraman Z.

Subtitle: Space Pirate

Conception

Etymology

Their name is likely derived from the Barbarossa brothers, a pair of notorious Turkish pirates who operated off the coast of North Africa during the fifteenth century.

Design

Alien Barossa is designed by artist Kengo Kusunoki under the image of an alien that will represent the Reiwa Era of Japan. True to form, Barossa is the first new alien race in the Reiwa Era of Ultraman Series to be given a suit.

History

Ultraman Z

Alien Barossa are a race of pirate aliens that are notorious for looting the weapons of their opponents, this includes a King Joe unit from Alien Pedan. ^{Alien Barossa Special Airborne Armor Secret File}

Original

Aiming for the scattered Ultra Medals on Earth, a Barossa piloted King Joe to ambush a GAF facility to steal three medals they obtained and threaten the organization to hand over the other three in their possession. STORAGE took the mission to protect them by acting as diversions while Yoko delivered the real set to JAERC. Meanwhile Barossa was leaving thinking it had the real ones. Unfortunately for STORAGE alike, neither managed to accomplish their task as Shinya Kaburagi was there to steal them from Yoko and lured Barossa/King Joe to his location by opening the special container. Just as King Joe was about to capture the Medals, Z obtain them first and ultimately used them to disable the robot. ^{The Unidentified Object Convoy Order}

Barossa survives long enough to manipulate a STORAGE officer to break into their headquarters to reclaim King Joe. Using Yoko as a hostage, he forces Yuka to reactivate the robot before Juggler prevented him from killing Yuka. Barossa made his way to the hangar by incapacitating Kojiro Inaba's men and electrocuted as soon as he was fooled by a lunchbox. The alien escaped the building by accidentally leaving his looted Ultra Medals behind and grows large to fight Ultraman Z using all of his looted weapons. Yoko gave Barossa's stolen Medals to Z, who uses it to initiate M78 Style Shining Tornado Slash. In his final breath, Barossa proclaims that his other 9,999 younger brothers shall avenge him. ^{Here Comes the Space Pirate!}

Generation II

Sometime later, true to the first Barossa's proclamation, one of his younger brothers, Alien Barossa II appeared from the sky and ambushed Z in Delta Rise Claw, who had just slain Metsuboros. ^{The Lion's Cry} In addition to taking the discarded Gillvalis hand from Metsuboros' remains, Barossa II intended to collect the Beliarok as part of his space treasure collection and get his revenge on Ultraman Z for killing his older brother.

Beliarok seemingly complied and allowed Barossa II to use him, but decided to refuse midway through the fight after seeing the sloppiness behind Barossa's attacks. Returning to human form, Barossa II found himself in a three-way confrontation between Haruki and Juggler for Beliarok's possession. Again, he briefly obtained the Beliarok, but the sword decided to choose Juggler instead as his wielder. Wanting to continue with avenging his older brother, Barossa II swallowed Juran seeds to enlarge and faces against Z and Windom. He was able to use Yoko/Windom as his hostage for a brief moment, but the Beliarok returned to Z to turn the tables. Seeing how the battle went to his disadvantage, Barossa II attempted to flee, but was killed by Deathcium Fang. ^Beliarok

Trivia

• Voice actor: Koichi Toshima (Original), Tomokazu Seki (II)
• They are unable to process normal/human speech. The Barossas instead speak by chanting and grunting their name, 'Barossa' over and over again. This is not the case with Barossa II, who seemingly managed to learn Japanese on his own.
  • For a split second, when the gigantified Barossa I tried to remove the Magma Saber stuck to a building, he was heard saying, "It won't move".
• The Barossa aliens lay 10,000 eggs at once, and the individual that Z had killed happened to be the eldest brother in the brood he originated from.
• Despite his initial claim to avoid unnecessary violence when trying to claim the other three Ultra Medals from STORAGE, the alien was willing to kill Yuka Ohta once she activated King Joe.
• One of Barossa aliens fought Ultraman Zero and gave him a hard time due to its trickery. ^{Alien Barossa}
• Unlike the first Alien Barossa, his brother is shown to speak without the use of a translator or hypnotized victim. ^Beliarok
• Both of the Barossa brothers had at least one allusion to their voice actors:
  • Among the first Barossa's weapons are Dada's Micronizer and Magma's Magma Saber. Koichi Toshima had portrayed these two aliens at some point, with Magma being his prominent recurring role in most of the Tsuburaya-related events.
  • The second Barossa was the subject of Windom Yoko Attack, a burning hand attack from Windom which resembles the Shining/God Finger finishing moves used by Domon Kasshu of Mobile Fighter G Gundam. In addition, Tomokazu Seki also voiced Glenfire, who is also a space pirate like Barossa II.
