Birth of Ultraman

At the end of the run of Ultra Q and before the start of Ultraman, a stage show was put together by Tsuburaya, explaining the premise of the Ultraman series. In it, the Ultra Q monsters, Garamon, Kanegon, and M1 are causing chaos in a lab of monster researchers, and the chaos only goes further when Red King, leading Antlar, Alien Baltan, and Chandora burst into the lab, being chased by the SSSP. Soon, the Q and Ultraman monsters started a brawl, destroying most of the lab, only until Ultraman arrived and started to fight back. Soon, the entire cast of monsters were soothed by a chorus of children singing the Ultraman theme.

History

Ultraman

Generation I

Red King in Ultraman

The first Red King, Red King I , was discovered on a remote island filled with other monsters, where a small group of scientists had been terrorized and all but one were ultimately killed.

Red King appeared along with Magular and Chandora. This episode also featured the first appearance of Pigmon, a monster the size of a human child that was friendly toward humans. The reason for the monsters' appearances was because the magnetic field on the island was off balance, causing creatures to mutate. The island was named "Tatara Island".

Red King was first spotted by the SSSP battling Chandora. After a short fight, Red King defeated Chandora by tearing off a limb/wing and throwing the dismembered limb, as well as some rocks at the monster as it fled, and was never seen or heard from again. Magular, a burrowing monster, survived the episode almost unnoticed, but was eventually killed by the SSSP. Red King then found the SSSP and Pigmon. Red King then made an avalanche of rocks which killed Pigmon. Once Ultraman appeared, Red King was caught off guard and was defeated without the need for the Specium Ray (Except for when Ultraman used it on a rock Red King was about to throw at him). After being thrown around a few times by the Flying Mare, this Red King got paralyzed and was never seen again.

Trivia

• Suit actor: Teruo Aragaki
• The Red King suit has gone through a history of edits and recycling. After Red King's debut, the suit was used to create the monster, Aboras. Afterwards, the suit was recycled and reused to make Red King in episode 25. Then, the arms of Red King were used for the suit of Zetton. Currently, both Red King and Zetton have separate suits.
• During early production work on Ultraman when it was known as "Redman," Red King was intended to be king of the monsters until the show was changed into "Ultraman." Red King however kept his name for unknown reasons.
• Red King's "Shparr!" roar is one of the most characteristic monster sounds from the series. His roar is a combination of Godzilla (when he is injured) and Gaira (The green Gargantua) in War of the Gargantuas.
  • Red King briefly has a combination of Godzilla and King Kong's when Ultraman grabs him by the throat.
• Red King's pompous forearm gestures foreshadow the showboating of future pro wrestlers and athletes.
• Originally, Red King and Gomora were to be revived by Geronimon, but due to their suits being in an overused condition, they were replaced by Telesdon and Dorako. The original monsters' names are still used in the English dub of Ultraman, when the Science Patrol mistakenly call the revived monsters Red King and Gomora. Also, he makes a cameo appearance as a toy in the beginning of the episode 37.
• Red King appears in the Ultraman Ace opening but however does not appear in the series.
• Red King was one of the three original ideas for a capsule monster in the early stages of Ultraseven, along side Peguila and Antlar.
• Red King briefly appeared in Ultraseven Solar Energy Strategy as one of the many monsters that Ultra Garrison previously encountered.
• Red King is given the name "Mr. Bad" in the unofficial compilation film Space Warriors 2000, where he claims "everybody's heard of "him", perhaps in reference to the character's popularity in pop culture and merchandising.

Jairock's concept art

• The monster, Jairock from the 1972 Toho tokusatsu series, Assault! Human, very much resembles Red King. In fact, both were created by the same designer who drew Jairock with Red King in mind.
• His first appearance in Ultraman was featured in episode 131 "The Lawless Monster Zone! Fight, Ultraman!".
• In Return of Ultraman episode 7, Red King appears as a toy fighting a toy Baragon.

Generation II

Red King II

A second Red King, Red King II , appeared in episode 25 "Mystery Comet Typhoon". He appeared as part of another trio of kaiju, including Dorako and Gigass.

When the giant comet Cyphon was headed towards Earth, the SSSP division in Paris discovered that it's cosmic rays might set off unprotected hydrogen bombs. Japan's SSSP sent members Shin Hayata, Daisuke Arashi, and Mitsuhiro Ide to search for 6 missing hydrogen bombs in the Japanese Alps. Shortly after the men arrived in the Alps, Cyphon had already passed over the Earth, but it's presence disturbed the kaiju Gigass, then later Dorako. Still in search of the missing bombs the SSSP found another Red King, (Red King II) who had the missing hydrogen bombs on his neck.

Red King then found the two previous kaiju locked in combat and decided to join. Both he and Gigass ganged up against Dorako and beat the kaiju mercilessly. Red King viciously tore Dorako's wings off, and Dorako died of it's injuries soon afterward. Gigass was driven off by Red King and fell victim to the Extreme Drought Bomb deployed by the Science Patrol. All three monsters apparently precipitated out of a fragment of comet debris, or were awakened by the comet's radiation; it is not entirely clear, but the comet somehow triggered their appearance. Apparently Red King now presented an extra danger, as it had swallowed the six long-lost hydrogen bombs. Ultraman was unable to use his Specium Ray without detonating the hydrogen bombs lodged in his throat, and the second Red King proved to be a more formidable adversary than the original. After a brutal battle Ultraman ultimately paralyzed Red King and raised it off the ground with the Ultra Air Catch. He then used two of his Ultra-Slashes to slice Red King into thirds. Ultraman took the head and neck portion and flew away into space with it to allow the H-bombs to detonate harmlessly.

Trivia

• Red King II had a clay lump stuck to the right side of its neck to represent the bombs, and a flap of skin on his back that was seemingly cut which was most likely due to low budget and having to reuse the old Red King/Aboras suit.
• Red King II is also referred to as Red King Jr., implying that the first Red King had a son.
• Gorgos (from Ultra Q) was intended to be the monster that fought Gigass and Dorako.
• His second appearance in Ultraman was featured in New Ultraman Retsuden episode 17 "The Dreaded Comet Tsuiphon! The Three Roaring Monsters!!".

Ultraman Taro

Red King II's soul became the legs of Tyrant along with souls of one of the past defeated monsters like Alien Icarus, Seagorath, Bemstar, Baraba, King Crab, and Hanzagiran. ^{Go Beyond the Ultra Brothers!}

The☆Ultraman

Red King as seen in The☆Ultraman

Red King reappeared in episode 27 of the series, The☆Ultraman.

Of all the kaiju on the Asteroid Baladon, Red King was the most powerful monster, but it was reserved by Alien Baladon as their last line of defense. After the Scientific Defense Guard was attacking the other monsters that inhabited the island (Banila, Aboras, Arstron, Ghostron, and Gokinezula), Red King was unleashed to stop them. He first fights and kills Ghostron, and later fights and kills Gokinezula to show off his superiority.

When Ultraman Joneus appeared, the two battled to a standstill. Even with the other monsters assisting Red King in stopping the Ultra, Ultraman Joneus eventually destroyed the other monsters and Red King is destroyed by Joneus's Boomerang Guillotine.

Trivia

• This version of Red King possessed the ability to spit purple fire.
• Red King has a modified Kamacuras roar in the series.
• Red King was originally to appear in the first episode but was switched with Seagra.

Ultraman 80

Red King (as seen in Ultraman 80)

Red King reappeared in episode 46 of the series, Ultraman 80 as Red King III .

Red King III was wished into existence by Marjin, a genie-like entity who was imprisoned inside of an old jar until being released by three boys who debated about which monster to wish for (Eleking and Woo are referenced too). Shortly after being created, Red King rampages through the heart of the city and causes mass destruction. Ultraman 80 shows up, and after a relatively short battle, Ultraman 80 destroyed Red King with his Saxium Ray.

Trivia

• Red King III' suit was a completely new suit.
• It was thought that Red King III could be Red King II from Ultraman, due to the similar color, however it was officiously made as the third generation for convenience.
• In the Ultra Kaiju Encyclopedia video series, this Red King was stated by the narrator to be an imitation of the first appearing breed.
• The PlayStation 2 video game Ultraman Fighting Evolution 3 has a scenario based on this episode although Red King sucked right back into the jar instead of being destroyed. Additionally, Red King III was portrayed by a recycled original Red King polygon.
• When 80 stomps on Red King's foot, Red King's pained screech is a reused and slightly altered Ebirah roar.

Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero

The Red Kings as seen in Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero (Female left, Male right)

Red King reappeared as Powered Red King  in episodes 3 and 12 of the series Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero.

In this series, there are two Red Kings (a female, colored the traditional tan, and a male, red) In their debut appearance the female is seen mostly, attacking Chandora, Pigmon, and WINR before facing Ultraman Powered; she calls out to her male and the two monsters briefly double-team Powered. After being dazed by WINR, the female Red King wanders off a cliff to her doom, which leaves her mate in sorrow and loss. Ultraman Powered allows the male Red King to live, feeling sympathy for the monster.

Later around the end of the series, a male Red King appeared and was quickly killed by the Alien Baltan's version of Dorako. It's unknown if this is the same Red King from before or not.

Trivia

• This vesion of Red King is the only one to feature a female/queen.
  • There are some sources saying the female one is called Red Queen.
• Ironically, this is the only time Red King has appeared red.

Ultraman Max

Red King as seen in Ultraman Max

Red King reappeared in episode 5, 6, and 36 of the series, Ultraman Max.

Red King was mentioned in a prophecy as a destructive monster who was sealed underground by the race of Pigmon long ago. However, several years in the present after the tomb and the last of Pigmon's race is disturbed, Red King awakens and emerges from underground, resuming his rampage on the island he is on. Pigmon uses one of the monster guardians of the island, known as Salamadon to fight Red King, but Red King easily beats down and kills Salamadon before shifting his attention back to Pigmon. Ultraman Max appears and fights Red King and manages to bury the monster underground before the other guardian monster, known as Paragler appears and briefly fights Max. Pigmon tames Paragler, keeping him from attacking Max so that Max can leave (his color timer was blinking red). Red King is not finished yet, however, as he burrows away to recover. Red King resurfaces and attacks Paragler and after a lengthy battle manages to kill Paragler too. Red King tries to kill Pigmon again, with both guardian monsters dead, but Pigmon is rescued by DASH and Ultraman Max returns for a rematch. After a lengthy battle, Red King weakens and becomes highly explosive. Because of this Ultraman Max carries him to the Earth's atmosphere and destroys him with the Maxium Cannon so that he could detonate without harming Earth. ^{Monster Island Appears! 5 Seconds Before Bombing}

Red King returns by a dimensional portal that opens up in the middle of Tokyo and is still highly explosive. His appearance this time around is more comical, as is the other villain that appears to have brought him there: Alien Shamer. However, Ultraman Max fights back and defeats him again using the Max Galaxy. ^{Alternate Dimension World}

Trivia

• Suit actor: Koichi Toshima (Episode 36)
• In this series, Red King possessed a breath weapon consisting of impact-explosive rocks, similar to Toho's Megalon, except Red King's were a barrage rather than singular. He gained this ability by swallowing the explosive rocks that were in great amount on the island.
• In a DVD Special known as "Ultraman Max Super Battle!" Ultraman Max battles against Red King and Zetton. The two monsters team up to take out Max, but in the end Red King is knocked unconscious and Max kills Zetton with the Maxium Sword.
• In the series, Red King is the most comical as opposed to his other menacing appearances.
• According to Shamer, his reason of controlling Red King is due to the monster being less intelligent, making it easier to obey the alien without questions.

Ultraman Mebius

Red King as seen in Ultraman Mebius

Red King reappeared in episode 42 of the series Ultraman Mebius.

Red King is revived by Gadiba. He is then possessed by Gadiba to attack in the middle of a valley in which GUYS is sent to investigate. After a lengthy battle against GUYS, Mirai transforms into Ultraman Mebius and faces off against Red King as well. After a relatively short and easy battle, Mebius is victorious. Gadiba then suddenly emerges from Red King's body and transforms him into a Gomora (which was seen earlier in the episode, possibly morphed into Red King previously by Gadiba) to do battle against Mebius. ^{An Old Friend's Visit}

Trivia

• Red King makes a cameo in episode 21 in the Monster Graveyard, along with several other deceased monsters.
• The Red King suit from Ultraman Max was reused for Red King's battle in this series.

Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle

Red King as seen in the original Ultra Galaxy

Red King reappeared in episodes 1 and 7 of the series Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle.

Red King is first seen interfering in the middle of a battle between Telesdon and Sadola and after a brief brawl, manages to choke Sadora to death. Red King then turned his attention to the ZAP SPACY crew and attacked them but was intercepted by Telesdon and they resumed their battle. The result of the fight is unclear as it's seen that Red King is still persuing the ZAP SPACY team (the same Telesdon that fought him also returns in the next episode.) Rei confronts Red King himself and calls for his Gomora to do battle against the monster. After a long battle, Gomora is victorious by destroying Red King, destroying his innards with his Super Oscillatory Wave.

Later on, Red King as well as Telesdon and Neronga are all revived by the bizarre monster, Bullton to do battle against Rei and the ZAP SPACY. Red King doesn't fight until the end but even after displaying more power than the others combined, he is still destroyed by both Gomora and Litra.

The last that's seen of Red King in this series is in the flashback of a little girl while he was fighting against the monster Arstron.

Trivia

• Red King, as well as Telesdon and Sadola were referenced by the Spark Dolls Troupe in New Ultraman Retsuden episode 16 to demonstrate the "rampaging hordes of monsters" living on Planet Boris.

Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey

Red King in Ultra Galaxy NEO

Red King returns in episodes 10, 12, and 13 of the series Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey.

In the sequel to the above series, Red King is the 2nd monster owned by Grande (his 1st being Tyrant). Grande first uses Red King to fight against a King Joe Black that's sent to kill them both, but Red King destroys the King Joe Black with ease while Grande escapes death by the Alien Pedan. Towards the end of the series, Grande challenges Rei to another rematch (their second battle resulted in the death of his Tyrant) and Rei complies. The battle goes on for a lengthy amount of time and it appears Red King gains the upper hand after it beats down Gomora senselessly. Rei however transforms into Reimon and charges Gomora with enough power to defeat Red King with ease, however Reimon has Gomora spare Red King and Grande's life after they defeat him and thus leave.

EX Red King in Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey

During the series finale, Grande returns and sides with Rei in helping fight against Alien Rayblood (whom had possessed Armored Darkness) using his Red King to assist Gomora. In the end, Gomora and Red King transform into their EX forms and Rayblood meets his demise at the hands of the ZAP SPACY, EX Gomora and EX Red King .

Trivia

• EX Red King's roar is a combination of Godzilla and Chaos Taildas's roars.
• This is the first series in which Red King was unofficially a "good guy".

Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends The Movie

This monster reappeared in the movie Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends The Movie.

Red King was revived by Ultraman Belial as part of his 100 Monster Army. He was first seen as one of the spirits of the Monster Graveyard floating around with Doragory, King Joe Black, Alien Babarue, Telesdon and an unknown kaiju. Then he was seen rising out of the ground along with Tyrant, Hoe, Banpira, Gudon, King Guesra, and Eleking before being re-captured by Belial. He's the first to fight Gomora in the Monster Graveyard. When Reimon went beserk due to Belial, Red King and the other survivng monsters were told back to watch Gomora fight the Ultras and stayed there until Ultraman Zero arrived and he teamed up with the other monsters to take him down. He was last seen going for a brief fight against Ultraman Zero before being killed seconds later by three kicks on his body and a final kick on his neck.

Trivia

• Because Red King and Tyrant were seen together, Tyrant's legs might be from Red King II or other Red Kings.
• Red King is one of the monsters that makes up Beryudora's Support.

Ultra Zero Fight

Red King and EX Red King reappeared in Part 1 of the miniseries, Ultra Zero Fight. Red King was renamed Red King of the Strong Arm : in the series, also being part of "The Four Beast Warriors of Hell".

EX Red King

In this short series, Red King was one of the many monsters revived by Alien Bat Gurashie (along with Galberos, Bemstar, and Gan Q,) to battle against Ultraman Zero. Right before their fight, Alien Bat enhances Red King, transforming him into EX Red King in order to beat down Zero, who is physically incapable of fighting back due to Alien Bat locking him in the Techtor Gear Hatred. However, the appearance of a Pigmon allowed Zero to break the Techtor Gear and later, kill EX Red King with a revamped Ultra Hurricane, followed by the Garnate Buster.

Red King was used by Misuzu Isurugi, Hikaru's childhood friend, having UltraLived into the monster and teamed up with Ultraman Ginga to battle Zaragas. It is likely he returned to space in his original form soon after Ginga fought and defeated Dark Lugiel.

Trivia

• This was the first official time in which Red King was portrayed as a heroic kaiju rather than an antihero. But as Mizuzu does not know how to fight, Red King is easily defeated.
• In episode 7, him along with several monsters are seen cheering Ginga on as he fights Dark Galberos.
• In the special Ginga the Live!, Red King along with many of the other Tyrant monsters (except Alien Icarus) appear to help host along with Gomora and Alien Godola.

"Play Ball! Play!! Play!! Red King!!!"

―Makoto Aizen while summoning Red King

Red King reappeared in episode 4 of this series.

The kaiju first emerged from Mt. Muho at around 9:00 AM and made his way towards downtown. Katsumi Minato and Isami Minato transformed into Ultraman Rosso Aqua and Ultraman Blu Flame respectfully to take it down. Despite the fact that they outnumbered him, the two Ultras proved to be no match for Red King's physical strength. While Rosso did get a hit on the kaiju with his Splash Bomb, Red King grabbed the second one and threw it at Rosso, who took the attack to defend Blu, and defeated them both by knocking them down with his mighty arms. With their Color Timers flashing, Red King turned around and walked off with a suspicious drone watching over them. During Katsu's baseball game, it is soon revealed that Makoto Aizen was the one who summoned Red King and all of the previous kaiju beforehand. He summoned Red King on screen with his own version of the Gyro and proceeded to begin his rampage once again and was soon met by Ultraman Blu Aqua. Despite the fact that Blu once stomped on Red Kings' feet to escape a grip, he was still no match for him physically. Blu was soon saved by Rosso and the two teamed up to fight him once again and once again, the two were outmatched by Red King and the kaiju had the nerve to injure Rosso's shoulder. The two Ultras then brought out their R/B Sluggers and managed to get a hit on him with their Cross Sluggers but Red King kept on coming and proved to be a formidable foe. Just as things were looking grim, Katsu grabbed one of the R/B Crystals that he got from his baseball coach and after being healed by Blu's Aqua Jet Blast, he fired his Zero Twin Slicer at the kaiju. Red King managed to hold the attack for a bit, but in the end, he ended up getting defeated and destroyed by the new attack and his Crystal was soon recovered by the same drone from earlier. ^{The Winning Ball of Light}

Trivia

• This Red King is much more competent at fighting compared to his other counterparts' comical nature in other media, as he was able to defeat Rosso and Blu with ease in their first encounter, even redirecting Rosso's energy bullet back at him. During their second battle, he was shown to be smart enough to remember Rosso's earlier injury and target it.
  • Kiyotaka Taguchi himself referred to this incarnation as "The most violent Red King in history."
• For some reason, his roar is mixed up with EX Red King's roar.
• This is the first time Red King has ever defeated an Ultra, and it was two at the same time.

Ultra Galaxy Fight: New Generation Heroes

Two Red Kings are confirmed to appear in the miniseries, both the original and second generation, the latter returning after 52 years.

In aftermath of empowering Ultra Dark-Killer and Ultraman Zero Darkness, Ultraman Tregear left his magical space from his fight with Ultraman Ribut, while the two Red Kings were sent to replace him in the fight. Ribut fought the pair and killed them with Remote Cutter. ^{Ultra Galaxy Fight: New Generation Heroes}

Trivia

• Red King II's appearance in the fight marks the first time that the second generation of a monster or alien has returned in canon, not counting Remodeled Verokron as he was still a different variation.
• Red King II's suit was newly created and proposed by Koichi Sakamoto in order to have a tag team battle of two Red Kings.
  • It lacks a bump on the neck part of the suit, since this breed never swallowed a hydrogen bomb.
• The second Red King was not only killed by a similar tactic, but upon closer inspection, Ribut's Remote Cutters slice its neck in the same position as Ultraman's Ultra-Slash.

Red King Spark Doll

Stats

• Height: 14 cm
• Weight: 150 g

Usages

This Spark Doll has been used on two occasions by one alien and one person

• In the Theater Special, Alien Icarus DarkLived Red King, all of the other Spark Dolls that make up Tyrant and himself to form Tyrant. All of the Spark Dolls were turned back to normal after Alien Icarus lost against Hikaru Raido, who UltraLived into Ultraman Tiga, and Tomoya Ichijouji, inside Jean-Nine, with a combination of Tiga throwing Tyrant's energized dart right back at him and Jean-nine performing Jean Stardust on him.
• In Episode 8, Misuzu Isurugi UltraLived into him, using the Ginga Light Spark, to fight Shingo Kuwabara, an architecture designer, who DarkLived into Zaragas. Red King had the advantage at first, but, then, Zaragas released his spikes and greatly injured Red King. Misuzu is then saved by Hikaru, who UltraLived into Ultraman Ginga after retrieving the Ginga Spark, and teamed up to take down Zaragas.

After Dark Lugiel's defeat, Red King's Spark Doll is likely to have reverted back to it's original form and departed Earth to return home.

Red King's art for the game

Red King appears in three mini videos for this video game as sport for the main alien trio. His body is covered in plasma crystals that, when destroyed, act as game points for the player.

Red King Hunting

Alien Mefilas Djent sent The Rush Hunters alien team, Baltan Battler Barel, Guts Gunnner Garm and the rookie Magma Master Magna to hunt the kaiju as sport. Garm first used his cross-shaped laser cannon to topple a stalagmite to stop it. Later, Magna use this as an opening to strike Red King, but failed. Red King chased them as Barel split into three in order to evade the monster's boulder and later uses his Shurikens to strike the Plasma shards on its back. However, still not enough, he uses the monster's stupidity by baiting himself in order for Red King to chase him as it bashes through some stalagmites, destroying all the shards on its back. But a single Plasma Soul shard appeared in its mouth. Magna uses this as an opportunity to engage the Force Sabre attack, however before he can reach it, the Plasma Soul is snipped by Garm.

Plasma Killersaurus Hunting

Red King appeared at the very end alongside Neronga, Dinosaur Tank, Antlar, Eleking, Verokron, King Joe, Gandar, and Super-Earth Gomora and about to face off against the trio and many Alien Metron, Waroga, Kyrieloid, Alien Zarab, other Alien Guts, Alien Babarue, Alien Chibu in exosuits, Yapool, Alien Temperor, Alien Nackle, Alien Zetton and other Alien Magma.

Ultra Zone

Red King reappears throughout the series, Ultra Zone.

Red King is the monster of the segment "Kaiju English," in episode 1. During the segment it is stated he came from Tatara Island. It also states that he lacks intelligence but is very brutal, as well as that he looks like Hayato Ichihara.

During episodes 11 and 12 of the segment "Bad Monster Zetton," a rival gang of the titular gang hires Red King as their enforcer to beat up Zetton and steal his girlfriend. Zetton however fights Red King and wins his girlfriend back the episode after.

During episodes 10 and 11, there is a segment that retells the events of episode 8 of the original Ultraman (Red King's debut episode) known as "The Secret of Suflan Island." Unlike the original episode however, it is an expedition group that journeys to the island, also Red King battles the monsters Birdon and Banpira.

Red King's last appearance in the series would be in the series finale, in which he and several other monsters and aliens accompanied Riho Takata as she sung the opening theme song to Ultraman Mebius.
