Dorothy Anderson (ドロシー・アンダーソン, Doroshī Andāson) is a TDF scientist from the Washington branch from episodes 14 and 15 of Ultraseven.

History[]

Ultraseven[]

Dorothy was among the Washington scientists who took part in the examination of Planet Pedan in the 8th Galaxy via an observation rocket. During that time, she examined their space alloy Pedanium and created its antithesis. the Ryton R30 (ライトンR30, Raiton Āru Sanjū). When the Alien Pedan discovered this, she and her escort Melvin Webb went to Japan by boat, only for the Pedan to attack and kidnap Dorothy.

After King Joe's attack in Rokko was foiled by Ultraseven, the Alien Pedan released Dorothy back to the TDF after their peaceful negotiation with Dan Moroboshi. Unfortunately, Dan realized too late of the deception when Dorothy was returned in a state of amnesia. When Anne returned her memory, Dorothy quickly utilized the help of other scientists to create the Ryton R30 Bomb (ライトンR30爆弾, Raiton Āru Sanjū Bakudan), which they used to defeat King Joe as Seven eliminated the escaping Pedan and halted their invasion.

Although Dorothy did not appeared, the legacy behind her Ryton R30 research would be used by GUYS Spacy to create the Ryton R30 Mine (ライトンR30マイン, Raiton Āru Sanjū Main).[1]

  • In the original draft, Dorothy was not a researcher but rather a civilian who had her face stolen, feeling like "she was no longer herself." Her ship was sabotaged, and her life was targeted by someone, prompting her to seek protection directly from the UG. Captain Kiriyama promised to protect her, expressing concerns that she might be related to a series of consecutive murder cases, thus escorting her to the base. Later, Dorothy's true identity as an underling of the Alien Pedan was revealed, and she perished in the explosion alongside the silhouette of the Alien Pedan in the final scene. However, in the final version and the broadcast edition, this setting itself underwent significant changes.[3][4]
  • Although the Alien Pedan's appearance at that time was ambiguous (until their reveal in 2012 by director Kazuho Mitsuta), Dorothy's appearance lay a huge impact and became popular to the rest of the fans of Ultraseven. In the Ultra Galaxy medias, two Alien Pedan women were portrayed as tributes to Dorothy: Harlan of the Reionics Hunter and another one whose directly named Dorothy in the manga-exclusive Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Adventure.
