The R/B Slugger (ルーブスラッガー, Rūbu Suraggā) is the signature weapon of both Ultraman Rosso and Ultraman Blu.

Usage[]

The R/B Slugger has two variants depending on who wields it, notably based on their crest shape.

  • R/B Slugger Rosso (ルーブスラッガーロッソ, Rūbu Suraggā Rosso): A pair of daggers utilized by Rosso. The shorter pair of the weapon is held on the left hand in a reverse grip.
  • R/B Slugger Blu (ルーブスラッガーブル, Rūbu Suraggā Buru): A sword utilized by Blu.

Powers[]

  • R/B Slugger Attack (ルーブスラッガーアタック, Rūbu Suraggā Atakku): A simple slashing attack using the R/B Slugger.
  • Cross Slugger (クロススラッガー, Kurosu Suraggā): Rosso and Blu simultaneously deliver an "X" shaped slash at the enemy, destroying them.
  • Slugger Connection (スラッガーコネクション, Suraggā Konekushon): Blu fires an energy blade from his R/B Slugger, which connects with Rosso's R/B Slugger and fired back towards the enemy with a second blade added.
  • Deflection: By slashing at an incoming attack, the R/B Slugger can deflect it.
  • Elemental Power: The R/B Slugger is capable of utilizing the element of each R/B Crystal, depending on the elemental form used at the time, to augment its own power. Each of them have their own special attacks.

  • R/B Crystal Powers
    • Zero Twin Slicer (ゼロツインスライサー, Zero Tsuin Suraisā): Using the power of the Zero Crystal, Rosso charges up energy before firing two cutter beams, one from either dagger. This attack's appearance/color/element seems to change with Rosso's own form, being fiery when used in Flame but watery in Aqua.

    • Cross Spark Shoot (クロススパークシュート, Kurosu Supāku Shūto): Using the power of the Ginga Crystal, Rosso fires a stream of freezing cold water at the opponent. Together with Blu's Dynamite Slash, the combined heat and cold can crack armor such as Pedanium.

    • Sandstorm (サンドストーム, Sando Sutōmu): Charging his weapon with energy, Blu Wind fires an energy wave that blows dust and sand away.
  • R/B Crystal Powers
    • Wide Shot Slugger (ワイドショットスラッガー, Waido Shotto Suraggā): Using the power of the Seven Crystal, Blu fires an Eye Slugger-like energy projection that cuts the target.
    • Spark Attacker (スパークアタッカー, Supāku Attakā): Using the power of the X Crystal, the R/B Slugger Blu is enveloped by thunder energy. Blu then jumps up and slashes at his opponent, electrocuting them.
    • Bringer Flash (ブリンガーフラッシュ, Buringā Furasshu): Using the power of the Tiga Crystal, Blu forms an X made of purple energy before making one more energy arc which is sent flying to the opponent, making an energy drill.
    • Gravity Slasher (グラビティスラッシャー, Gurabiti Surasshā): Using the power of the Victory Crystal, Blu forms a 'V' made of crystals. When he impales the weapon into the ground, it breaks apart and smaller projectiles are fired.
    • Dynamite Slash (ダイナマイトスラッシュ, Dainamaito Surasshu): Using the power of the Taro Crystal, Blu launches a stream of flames at the opponent. Together with Rosso's Cross Spark Shoot, the combined heat and cold can crack armor such as Pedanium.
