The Max Spark is both a transformation item, given by Ultraman Max for Kaito Touma, and a bracer for Ultraman Max.

History

Ultraman Max

The Max Spark was given to Kaito after his merger with Ultraman Max and is used during battle for several techniques, including Max's Maxium Cannon.

Ultraman X

In Ultraman X, this device's energy was used to create Max's Cyber Card, which is able to summon a copy of the Max Galaxy and the Ultra himself.

Transformation

Kaito raises the Max Spark and places it on his left arm to transform into Ultraman Max.

Transformation

Powers

• Maxium Cannon : Max raises the Max Spark on his left hand gathering particles and fires a left-handed "L" style beam. This technique is often misspelled as "Max Cannon".
• Purifying Beam : Like many techniques, it is charged by the spark itself. Max used this to quell Natsunomeryu's anger and seal him away.
• Maxium Reverse : Max can release a golden light from the Max Spark to damage enemies that restrained him.
• Cloning Ability : Max can multiply into many copies of himself with the Max Spark.
• Max Typhoon : When using the rectangular barrier, if it is being attacked Max can use the Max Spark to make the shield absorb the beam and transform into a tornado. The winds are strong enough to tear to shreds anything inside it.
• Power Endowment: As revealed in episode 8 of Ultraman X, Max/"Kaito Touma" can bestow a portion of his powers into any form of objects in mind. He manifests this in a form of a Type U Cyber Card. This not only gives Ultraman X the means to summon a Max Galaxy, but can also summon the Ultra Warrior in-person when humanity's hopes resonated with his card.

Trivia

• The Max Spark is a combination of elements from the Beta Capsule and the Ultra Eye, just as Max is based on Seven but with elements of Ultraman. It is first held up high, like the Beta Capsule, and then placed on the body to transform, like the Ultra Eyes. It also shares elements of the Armed Nexus worn by Ultraman Nexus and is the inspiration for the Mebius Brace, being that in Ultra Form it is used for several of the Ultra's techniques.
• The rise scene is also a mixture of Seven's and Ultraman's, it has Kaito being changed into Max thanks to the light from the Max Spark and then him growing to a giant size.
• Episode 2 is the only time Kaito shouts "Max" before raising the Max Spark.
  • In the Indonesian dub, he shouts "Max" after raising the Max Spark.
• The design theme of the Max Spark is the image of the mythical Phoenix bird.
• The item's name was initially "Max Flasher" during the planning stage, but Sean Nichols, who played Sean White, pointed out that "Flasher" means an exhibitionist, so the name was changed into "Max Spark". No transformation items named "Flasher" appeared in the Japanese TV series ever since, until the appearance of Ultra D Flasher.
