Alien Perolynga [1] was an alien that appeared in episode 45 of Ultraseven.
Subtitle: Psyche Alien [1]
History
Ultraseven
An alien from a distant star, Perolynga came to Earth disguised as a little boy. Far out in space, a fleet of flying saucers, each resembling a star, stood awaiting orders for an attack on Planet Earth. One day, an amateur astronomer, Saburo Fukushin noticed the 'flying saucers'. He called the Ultra Guard but nobody believed him, except for the little boy he would talk to. The two became friends, enjoying discussion about traveling to the stars. The next day, Saburo spotted the flying saucers again. The young man kept calling the Ultra Guard H.Q reporting about flying saucers. However, the space observatories saw only the ships' star-like disguise.
Yet again, no one believed him but the young boy. The boy told Saburo that more ships would appear. He invited Saburo to his house where he revealed to him that he was an alien. The alien allowed him to call the Ultra Guard knowing full well they would not believe him and was proven correct in his assumption. He stated that on his time on Earth, he had heard of the story, "The Boy Who Cried Wolf." Saburo, like the boy in the story kept on calling about the flying saucers to the point where nobody believed him until it was too late. Alien Perolynga then asked Saburo to come with him to the stars, but Saburo refused. Later on the Ultra Guard heard the alien from their machines and they saw a picture showing that the flying saucers were not stars. The Ultra Guard went on the offensive. As they approached the fleet, there were countless flying saucers. The saucers fired their missiles but they were no match for the Ultra Guard ships and their piloting skills. Dan's ship was shot down however and at the last second he became Ultraseven and confronted a giant Perolynga. As the two titans clashed at superluminal speeds the Ultra Guard eliminated the remaining ships. Alien Perolynga was finally defeated and exploded, thus ending Alien Perolynga's attempted invasion of Planet Earth.
Trivia
- Actor: Hiroyuki Takano
- Suit actor: Kunio Suzuki
- The Alien Perolynga suit was originally made for an aquatic humanoid with the subtitle: "Aquatic Human Piniya".
- The Aquatic Human Piniya, originally had a reptile like monster under it's control, called Yamo.
- A white Alien Perolynga appeared in Chibira-kun.
- At the end of the TNT Dubbed Version of the episode, the Narrator says, "The area where Saburo lives could never be called beautiful. Perhaps someday, his friend from the planet Pelonga will return to Earth. Perhaps again, he will offer to take Saburo out of his sorted surroundings, off to explore the mysterious reaches of outer space. But in the meantime, Saburo waits with his heart among the stars." This implies that Alien Perolynga survived his fight with Ultraseven and may one day reappear, which he does in Ultraman Taiga .
- In Taiga, his survival is seemingly confirmed as the individual who appears in the series is supposedly the same individual from Ultraseven, even meeting with the same boy, Saburo, from the original episode.
- The formation of Alien Perolynga's flying saucers would later go on to inspire the 15th Angel of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Arael.
- Alien Perolynga is similar to Alien Pegassa.
- Both develop close bonds with a human character (Saburo for Perolynga, Anne for Pegassa) before eventually revealing their real purpose for being on Earth (Perolynga sought invasion, Pegassa to destroy Earth).
- They try to save said people from their own plans before the former rejects their offer, resulting in Ultraseven having to ultimately fight them and end up surviving the battle.
- Both return later with the aftershocks of said conflicts coming back with their reappearance (Pegassa in Heisei Ultraseven and Perolynga in Taiga).
- Both include black and orange, Pegassa being mostly black with a bit of orange and vice versa for Perolynga.
- Lastly, the two seemingly come from the same location, the Pegassa Nebula.
Ultraman Taiga
An Alien Perolynga appears in a human disguise, simply known as "The Man Who Wants to Return to the Stars" [1]
.He revealed to EGIS that he had once tried to go to the "world of stars" with his friend from Earth. Eventually, his friend couldn't take off, causing him to be left behind.
He waited for about 50 years to be picked up by his comrades and was pleased when Alien Gapiya Abel visited, asking him to take him back into space. He was almost killed by Abel due to him being a witness of his arrival, but was rescued by Kana Sasaki.
After interacting with Kana, he began to change his feelings about returning to the stars and eventually, after Abel was defeated, told his Perolynga comrade who arrived to rescue him that he will "try to live a little more on this planet" before watching the saucer fly off. He had promised to have Soba with Kana, which presumably happened off screen. The Flying Saucer Is Not Coming
Trivia
- Actor: Hiroyuki Takano
- The disguised Perolynga is implied to be the same one, or at least a tribute to, the Perolynga that appeared in Ultraseven disguised as a child, and is even played by the child actor Hiroyuki Takano who played Perolynga's disguise. This is a similar situation to the Alien Metron that appeared in Ultraman Max. This is also similar to Alien Nackle Odyssa, who also encountered his respective Ultra prior to his appearance in Ultraman Taiga.
- While not confirmed, the suit used for Alien Perolynga in Taiga was likely the one used to depict individuals of the species for stage shows prior to its appearance in the series.
