The Great Demon King Jackal (ジャッカル大魔王, Jakkaru Dai Maō) is the ruler of the Jackals, a species of alien warriors that make up the Jackal Army, first introduced in an The・Ultraman manga series.

History[]

The・Ultraman: Jackal vs. Ultraman[]

The leader of the Jackal Aliens, titled as the Space Demon King, was a cold and ruthless tyrant who once held the universe in his grip. However, at some point in time, Ultraman King sealed King Jackal in a black hole as punishment for his crimes against galactic civilization.

In the year 1975, King Jackal soon was freed from the black hole and began to draw his sword of vengeance against those who had defied him, starting with the Ultra Brothers. One by one, King Jackal, using his ability to shapeshift into other monsters, aliens and even other Ultras, had viciously killed each of the iconic five Ultra Warriors, and devastated the Land of light to the point of driving Zoffy, Mother of Ultra and a few remaining Ultra Warriors into hiding as human disguises on Earth, which soon fell under Jackal's cruel enslavement.

Just as all hope seemed lost for the human race of that age, an armored giant appeared and attacked Jackal's footsoldiers, as he soon revealed himself to be Melos. This intervention gave Zoffy and other Ultra soldiers a chance to engage in a counterattack against Jackal's army on his homeworld, as Melos and King Jackal soon faced off in Jackal's palace. Despite his shapeshifting and subsequent ability replication, King Jackal was no match for Melos' strength and resourcefulness, ending up having one of his horns dismembered by Melos' Andrang.

Jackal, out of desperation, feigned pleas for mercy, as he soon fooled Melos into letting him live, as the deceitful alien soon broke Melos' arm, deactivating his armor and wounding the warrior with a powerful attack. Believing Melos to be dead, Jackal set his sights on resuming universal conquest, but who appeared to be Melos soon was wearing his armor, the Cosmo Techtor, as the warrior fired, surprisingly, the M87 Beam at Jackal.

It was actually Zoffy, who had managed to wear the Cosmo Techtor. Soon the spirits of the Ultra Brothers whom Jackal killed, had appeared, revived by the power of Ultraman King. Ultraman, Ultraseven, Jack, Ace, and Taro soon fired their respective beams at King Jackal, destroying him. As a result, all the other Jackal aliens see the futility in fighting and decide to leave in peace.

Trivia[]

  • Despite being non-canon, the Jackal aliens so far are the only race of aliens besides the Alien Magma and Ultra species to have different ranks.
  • They greatly resemble Juda from his time as the villain of Andro Melos.
  • Among the revived Ultra Brothers are Ultraseven, however Seven was not one of Jackal's victims. This was due to the fact that in Mamoru Uchiyama's manga, Seven was already dead in his human form Dan Moroboshi when Black Directive ordered the eradication of MAC members via Silverbloome, sometime prior to Jackal's attack. During that time as well, Dan was still unable to transform due to the broken Ultra Eye with his Eye Slugger falling into Leo's possession until his revival was seen re-equipping the weapon on his forehead.
  • Jackal's name comes from Frederick Forsyth's novel, The Day of the Jackal. Coincidentally, that novel is about an assassination attempt on Charles de Gaulle, the President of France, which mirrors that of Jackal's modus operandi against the Ultra Brothers.
