Basical (ベーシカル, Bēshikaru) was an Alien Baltan and the main antagonist of Ultraman Cosmos: The First Contact. His antagonistic role was due to his striving desire for the remaining Alien Baltans' survival after their planet's destruction. In a sense, Basical's existence as the sole surviving adult of his kind, as the rest of the Baltan race that survived were merely children, makes him somewhat mirror the Ultras as, like them, he is seen as the best hope for the survival of his race.

History[]

Ultraman Cosmos: The First Contact[]

Following the devastation of Planet Baltan, Basical became the ruler of the wreckage, and was the sole adult survivor of his kind, with many hundreds of Child Baltans looking up to him as their protector. Realising he needed to find a new home for his species, Basical set out across the universe to look for a suitable planet, and found one in the form of Planet Earth.

As he sped through space towards the blue planet, he was cut off by the heroic Ultraman Cosmos. While Cosmos knew that Basical's reasons for invading the planet were pure, Cosmos also knew that this could not be allowed, and so the two aliens fought. After a heated battle in space, which was sighted by a young Musashi Haruno and detected by SRC, the two giants fell into the atmosphere, descending to the planet's surface.

Basical managed to survive his fall, but he soon figured out it was likely his rival had also survived his impact as well, and quickly initiated his plan before the alien hero could recover, hoping that he would succeed before Cosmos could mount a counterattack. Basical's thoughts would be proven correct, though he didn't know it yet. Cosmos had been rescued and revived by Musashi.

Basical discovered the sleeping Don Ron and possessed it to go on a rampage. After SRC and fighters of the National Emergency Corps Sharks killed his host, Baltan emerged in person, growing to his full size. Basical soon communicated with humanity and declared his invasion while chastising humanity's warfare.

The next day, alarmed by the Sharks' assault on his homeworld, he re-emerged, whereupon he immediately began attacking the Sharks fighters until SRC played the national anthem alongside the citizens. Despite this successful peaceful method, Sharks took this opportunity to counter strike, which only worsened the condition until Musashi (with the help of Shirubyi) summoned Ultraman Cosmos and both giants engaged in a fiery combat. In the middle of the battle, he engaged into a more brutish appearance, Neo Baltan (ネオバルタン, Neo Barutan).

Eventually, after Cosmos Corona Mode delivered the finishing blow, Basical halted their fight and tearfully died after knowing that his race had no other protector left. Cosmos turned his body back into his normal form, realizing even though Baltan had tried to conquer Earth, his heart had been with his people the entire time. After watching the grueling battle, the Child Baltans came down and retrieved their king's body, taking it back to their homeworld so Basical could be laid to rest among the people he had died trying to save.

Trivia[]

  • Basical is a misguided survivor rather than a strictly evil alien. Although his methods caused chaos and destruction, he was simply trying to ensure the endurance of his fellow Baltans, being the last adult of his kind.
  • While Basical still has crayfish and cicada design elements like other Baltans, his large horns and strong armor are based on that of a stag beetle.
  • In some stage shows Basical is depicted as an evil alien, seen teaming with his fellow Baltans against the Ultras and even Kaiser Darkness, Sly and Tyrant.
    • In another stage show, he and a Lidorias are manipulated into fighting the Ultras.
