| Biography |
The Ultraman Suits are suits of powered armor worn by certain people to become 'Ultramen' in the absence of the authentic Ultraman. Originally developed by Mitsuhiro Ide of the SSSP, more models have since come into existence through various means.
History[]
ULTRAMAN[]
A creation of Ide, though some of their technology was provided by Yapool, the suit is a device made to be worn by a bearer of the Ultraman Factor, allowing them to use a greater potential of their Ultra DNA than before. It has two known wearers, Shin Hayata and his son Shinjiro. The two wore them to fulfill their roles as 'Ultraman' for the SSSP, helping to battle evil aliens and act as a deterrent for other aliens who may commit similar atrocities.
Later, with the members of Ultraman expanding, more variants that serve different purposes were gradually developed: either for the cases of Dan, Seiji, and the entire MAT crew means to empower "normal" individuals, or for Taro and Rena's cases to allow them to control their already existed powers better; as for the special case of Leo Brothers, were simply reconstructed from their original combat armors.
In the beginning, all the suits required the user to don before action, this was changed during the battle against the three Ultraman impostors when Ide finally managed to create watch-like transmission devices for the users to summon their suits afar, largely reducing their inconvenience.
Models[]
- Main article: Shinjiro Hayata
The newer Ultraman Suit worn by Shinjiro, this suit more closely resembles Ultraman. It has all the same abilities as the first one but has a helmet and added armaments such as the Spacium Blades and the Spacium Beam. Its first use was also against Bemular in the same battle that saw the end of the prototype's use. The suit was described by Ide as a reinforced version of the prototype version, meaning greater protection and more features.
It is later upgraded into the B-Type suit, with more features added as well as more red coloring, and a reduction in weight. Ide upgraded the suit after noticing that the old suit could no longer keep up with Shinjiro's evolving fighting style.
During the second battle against Zetton Core, it would forcibly upgraded into the C-Type suit. This time it would further get rid of previous two models' mechanical appearance, with a more Ultraman looking body shape. It allowed Shinjiro to easily overpower Alien Temperor, in contrast to their first encounter.
- Abilities and Equipment
- Ultraman Helmet: Shinjiro's suit comes with a helmet with a retractable face plate for his mouth. The helmet was obviously designed to resemble Ultraman and has a communication device installed so Ide can talk to Shinjiro when ever he needs to.
- Focus: The suit focuses the wearer's strength allowing them to make better use of their natural strength.
- Protection: While both provide protection, the newer model seemed to hold superior defense as it took Bemular's heat ray at point-blank range and was relatively unscathed, Shin's armor was damaged by Bemular's own strength and extra arms. Shinjiro was still injured from the heat ray, but it is unlikely he would've even survived that blast without the armor.
- Color Timer: On both father and son's suits there is a mechanical Color Timer. When the suit's energy output or consumption of Spacium energy from the user drops below certain levels the light turns red and begins to flash like a real Color Timer.
- Limiter: When Shinjiro's armor is forced to its limits he can release the limiter. This gives him a speed and power boost and enhances his Spacium Beam, however he has a short time before he is left completely drained of energy. When activated it appears that Shinjiro is glowing red and red streams of energy flow from his helmet's eyes and Color Timer.
- Spacium Blades : Shinjiro's suit is armed with Spacium Blades, which are multipurpose energy blades.
- Blades: Like their names suggest they are are used for cutting and slicing through objects.
- Acceleration/Thrusters: The blades can be used as thrusters to propel Shinjiro forward or into the air.
- Defense: The blades can defend against energy attacks such as Bemular’s lasers. They cannot stop large beams however.
- Spacium Beam : On Shinjiro's wrists are connectors for the control units, when the left and right connectors are joined together, Shinjiro puts his arms in the classic arm position the beam is automatically fired. The beam is fired from his horizontal arm, and when the beam is being prepared and used, the Spacium Blades are deactivated. It can also combine with his father and Bemular's to form the Triple Spacium Beam. It is fired slightly differently in the anime adaptation, whereby Shinjiro pulls down a tab on the vertical right arm to reveal a port that fires the Spacium Beam.
- B-Type
- Spacium Slash (or Ultra Slash in the anime dub): Shinjiro can conjure twin rings of energy, one on each hand, and use them to slice through things. They can also be thrown. This ability originally debuted in the anime before appearing in the manga as one of B-Type's new abilities.
- MARS 133 Kai : A Spacium Rifle that was designed for Shinjiro's use, to conserve the Ultraman Suit's energy. Its name is based on an old SSSP weapon of the same name, one that worked on the same principle as Ultraman's Spacium Beam. This weapon does not appear in the manga, but does appear on the Chapter 80 title double spread.
- Cloaking: The B-Type suit is capable of cloaking to stay out of plain sight. It takes on a far darker color scheme, mostly being black and grey, while the light-up parts turn a dark red.
- Suit Transfer [1]: During the fight against Ambassador Mephisto and Alien Zarab, Shinjiro's suit was upgraded with the same teleport technology as the Ace Suit to make the suit more accessible to Shinjiro during times of need. In the anime, this is included as a default function.
- Dismembering Halo [2]: This weapon is exclusive to the Flame Toys figure.
- Attack Ray [2]: This weapon is exclusive to the Flame Toys figure.
- Main article: Shin Hayata (ULTRAMAN)
The Protosuit was the first suit was worn by Shin Hayata, this black and grey armor is without a helmet or any extra features. It was used by Shin for some ten years, its first use being against the being calling itself Bemular.
It was later enhanced into the Convenience Prototype, featuring a facemask like the Ultraman Suit and a modernized power core. Worn by Shin to fight Ace Killer and his goons.
- Abilities and Equipment
- Focus: The suit focuses the wearer's strength allowing them to make better use of their natural strength.
- Protection: While both provide protection, the newer model seemed to hold superior defence as it took Bemular's heat ray at point-blank range and was relatively unscathed while Shin's armor was damaged by Bemular's own strength and extra arms.
- Spacium Core: On the suit, there is a mechanical Spacium Core. When the suit's energy output or consumption of Spacium energy from the user drops below certain levels the light turns red and begins to flash like a Color Timer.
The Zoffy Suit also known as the Ultraman Suit Ver. Z is a further upgrade of the Protosuit. Its design is based on Zoffy.
- Abilities and Equipment
- Focus: The suit focuses the wearer's strength allowing them to make better use of their natural strength. The Zoffy Suit takes this function a step further via the glowing lights on the chest and shoulders, which enhance the Spacium energy the suit absorbs from Shin.
- Protection: Like the other suits, this one also provides its wearer with extra protection against attacks.
- Spacium Core: On the suit, there is a mechanical Spacium Core as well as eight smaller Spacium Cores that reinforce the main one. When the suit's energy output or consumption of Spacium energy from the user drops below certain levels the smaller cores dim out from the outside first until the main core's light turns red and begins to flash like a Color Timer.
- Spacium Beam : The Zoffy Suit allowed Shin to fire a Spacium Beam, much like Shinjiro's suit; it can also combine with Shinjiro and Bemular's to form the Triple Spacium Beam.
- Spacium Slash : Like his son, Shin's new suit also allowed him to conjure rings of energy for throwing.
- Spacium Blades : The Zoffy Suit is armed with Spacium Blades, which are multipurpose energy blades. Currently the Zoffy Suit's Spacium Blades have yet to appear in the manga but do appear as assessories for other figure related merchandise.
- Blades: Like their names suggest they are are used for cutting and slicing through objects.
- Acceleration/Thrusters: The blades can be used as thrusters to propel Shinjiro forward or into the air.
- Defense: The blades can defend against energy attacks such as Bemular’s lasers. They cannot stop large beams however.
- MARS 133 Kai : A Spacium Rifle that was designed for Shinjiro and Shin's use, to conserve their Suits' energy. Its name is based on an old SSSP weapon of the same name, one that worked on the same principle as Ultraman's Spacium Beam. This weapon has currently not appeared in the manga and is exclusive to the Figure Rise Standard Model Kits.
- Main article: Dan Moroboshi (ULTRAMAN)
Ultraman Suit Ver. 7 , also called the Seven Suit , is a newer model made to be worn by ordinary people, who do not have the Ultraman Factor, it is armed with a blade and other edge weapons to compensate for the wearer's lack of an Ultraman Factor/Superhuman Strength. Despite it being made to be worn by a normal human, it places a great deal of strain on the user, meaning not just anyone can wear it. As it is constantly being upgraded from combat data gain through use, it is commonly referred to as just Version 'Seven'.
Version History[3]
- Version 0[4]: Ide mentions that this was the first version of the suit, but was super finicky when all the limiters were deactivated. It was then sealed away as Version 0.
- Version 6[5]: The prototype suit of the Seven suit made by Ide before being upgraded to Version Seven.
- Version 7.1[3]: The original version of the suit.
- Version 7.2[3]: After the battle against Alien Bris, it was further refurbished and upgraded. There are no visual changes with this version.

- Version 7.5[3]: This version has a comprehensive version upgrade carried out by incorporating the improvements made in Shinjiro's suit and the extraterrestrial technology of the Ace suit by Yapool. Additionally, a "transfer device" that was previously available only in the Ace suit has been added.
- Frontal Assault Type [6]: A space-time boundary perforation system developed to save Shinjiro, who was caught in a space-time distortion point. The system resulted in the Seven suit to have a black coating applied. This form appears exclusively in ULTRAMAN SUIT ANOTHER UNIVERSE.
- Abilities and Equipment
- Ultraman Helmet: Moroboshi's suit has its own version of the Ultraman Helmet, this one bears a great resemblance to Ultraseven and also Mirror Knight. His helmet has a green light on the forehead that may be the suit's equivalent of the mechanical Color Timer seen on the previous models, further increasing the resemblance to Seven, via his Beam Lamp. Unlike Shinjiro's, this one can be connected to the suit and slides down over the wearer's face as the mouthpiece rises.
- Strength: Since he does not have the Ultraman Factor, Moroboshi's suit gives him greater strength than he would normally possess.
- Extra Armor: The version 7 suit was built with normal humans in mind, thus it has more armor than Shinjiro's model, particularly the chest and the shoulder region.
- Spacium Sword : Morboshi's suit comes with a high-tech katana. The blade is capable of devastating amounts of damage and using Spacium Blade technology improve its cutting ability to the point that it can make a shockwave when swung. Because it is using Spacium Blade technology, it is powered by Spacium energy. Moroboshi wields two of these when the suit gets upgraded into Version 7.3 and beyond. They are coated in a black coating as part of Frontal Assault Type.
- Throwing Knives: Moroboshi's suit is armed with throwing knives that resemble Ultraseven's Eye Slugger. They are stored in pockets on the back of the suit.
- Large Mobile Weapon No. 7 [7]: A remote control robot developed by Ide for the Seven Suit with the code name Sevenger It appears exclusively in the bonus chapter Dreaming Mitsuhiro [8] (originally named Dreaming Ido ). It was built to help Shinjiro, but for some reason it did not start. The robot reached out to the frustrated Ido as if it has a will of it's own but Moroboshi unknowingly mistook it for an enemy alien robot, slicing the prototype robot in half with the Spacium Sword.
- Version 7.3
- EX-Rifle : A modification of the rifle used by the SSSP Extermination Squads, they fire Emerium Bullets tipped with crystallized alien energy. Moroboshi uses two of them. It can be fitted with an Extension Barrel for long range sniping. The barrel's sensor's are directly connected to the Seven suit, requiring no additional optical equipment or for the rifle to be held in a sniping stance, as well as having supressor functions. The EX-Rifles are able to be equipped on the suit via a mounter attached to the back of the suit. They are coated in a black coating as part of Frontal Assault Type.
- Wide Shot : A heavy Spacium cannon, its power is close to that of Shinjiro's ray. It can be used as a beam blade by continuous fire, but that consumes energy quickly. Moroboshi carries two. It is named after Ultraseven's Wide Shot and it resembles the UG's Electro H Gun.

- Version 7.5
- Eye Sluggers : Twin combat knives that are used by Seven. Ide made them capable of combining into a single larger weapon at Moroboshi's request. This is done by simply connecting the two blades to a intermittent connector. Despite their name and user, they are closer to the Zero Sluggers, and in extension its Zero Twin Sword mode, in function than the original Eye Slugger. They are coated in a black coating as part of Frontal Assault Type.
- Prototype Anti-Kaiju Large-Scale Super Vibration Slashing Sword Akebonomaru : A hammer axe weapon based on the upon Ultraseven's Eye Slugger. A cutting knife developed by SSSP engineer Horii . The blade itself vibrates violently and cuts the target with that power. It defeated the Magnia that invaded SSSP HQ, but received a harsh evaluation from Moroboshi.[9] It appears in ULTRAMAN SUIT ANOTHER UNIVERSE.
- Prototype Anti-Monster Large High-Speed Ray Gun Alpha Superior : A large gun developed by Nakajima , an engineer of SSSP. It was unpopular with Moroboshi for its poor handling, and had to be declared a failure. It is based upon the Ultra Key. It appears in ULTRAMAN SUIT ANOTHER UNIVERSE.[9] This combined with the Akebonomaru creates the Anti-Kaiju Instant Combined Strength Line Heavy Iron Felling Sword《Troy Total》 [10].
- Prototype Anti-Monster Jet Type Heavy Iron Fist Hercules [11]: A large armanent for the Seven suit developed by SSSP Engineer Doigaki . Hercules consists of two parts: a giant arm unit equipped on the right arm, and a backpack that serves as the engine. Extending from the backpack is a rocket launcher tube called the Hydra Head . This equipment is used to control the balance of the huge right arm. It appears in ULTRAMAN SUIT ANOTHER UNIVERSE[12].
- Main article: Seiji Hokuto (ULTRAMAN)
Ultraman Suit Ver. A was designed by Yapool to be worn by Seiji Hokuto. The 'A' in its name stands for 'Alien' due to its origins, but Seiji personally calls it the Ace Suit . It is similar in appearance to Ultraman Ace.

- Main article: Jack (ULTRAMAN)
The Jack Suits or MAT (Mechanized Armoursuit Team)[18], also called the American Suits by some, were made directly by Yapool in America. The suits are larger and bulkier due to the lack of resources Yapool worked with and because he was asked to make them look more imposing. However their size is for more than show, as they house several pieces of technology. Among them is the suit which Jack wears, from whence the name comes, while the other two sport simplified heads and chests.
The MAT squad first appears during the events of the Battle of New York with its members re-appearing in ULTRAMAN SUIT ANOTHER UNIVERSE as part of the 8U Arc. The squad currently consists of:

Both massive in size and weight, the weapon is cumbersome to wield, but Jack is able to deftly use the weapon's power to his advantage thanks to his combat prowess, with each attack he lets fly leaving devastation in his wake. It is a pole weapon that highly resembles the original counterpart's Ultra Lance, and it was directly teleported to its user. Jack used this weapon during the second encounter against the Zetton Core warrior Tyrant and slashed the latter into half.
- MAT Shoot : An additional energy weapon developed specifically for the Jack Suit by Yapool that comes equipped to the suit at a hard point on its back. Since the weapon does consume a tremendous amount of energy when firing at its high-powered projectile, it comes with an additoinal battery pack. This weapon is exclusive to the Figure-Rise Standard Ultraman Suit Jack -ACTION- kit.
- White Sports Car: A car used for transporting Jack, it is based on the MAT Vehicle.
- Main article: Kotaro Higashi (ULTRAMAN)
The Taro Suit is a suit made by Yapool for Kotaro to replace his handmade suit, it resembles Ultraman Taro. It is based off the Seven suit, being an Ultraman Suit that does not have any combat functions and instead serves to protect the wearer, while acting as a power limiter to keep Kotaro's explosive power in check. In the anime, Kotaro wears this suit by default during the Dark Star invasion as a prototype Ultraman suit developed by Yapool.

Ultraman Suit Marie is an Ultraman Suit piloted by Rena Sayama that is based on Mother of Ultra.[20] It was the most advanced suit manufactured by Yapool under Bemular's request, and it incorporates functions to protect her. Its operating time is dramatically longer than that of its predecessors.
The flexible suit surface is made of rare fiber material and boasts a robustness that is hard to imagine from its appearance. The control vanes on both ears can amplify Rena's ability to generate a force field over a wide area. In addition to the rear armor, the back of the skirt-like armor is equipped with simple thrusters similar to those of the Ace Suit.
Unlike other suits, however, it has almost no built-in weapons, as it is completely specialized for defense.

The Ultraman Suit (GEED IMAGE Ver.)[75] is an Ultraman Geed-themed suit that was made by Kei Tadano as a promotion for the second Ultraman Suit Plamodel contest as an honour to Tatsuomi Hamada participating in the contest as one of the judges.[76][77] The figure was created by Tadano in the span of two weeks.[78]
Tadano initially planned to proceed with simply recolouring the B-type SUIT like they did with the Juggler figure but they realised that there was no reason not to sculpt a new design and so proceeded with the new plan. With the motif of Geed's Primitive form, they started by modelling the V-shaped pattern that flowed throughout the body into the B-type Suit. They tried to reconstruct the lines of the suit with the image of the suit lines restraining the powerful strength and duality of Riku and coloured it using the standard B-Type colour scheme.[78]
This model was created by modeler Kei Tadano by resculpting the base figure of Shinjiro's Type B suit, utilising the shoulder armor from the Tiga Suit figure, cutting off the arched part of the chin, adding epoxy to the ear to extend it, using a plastic plate to recreate the headfin and to make the chest piece and making a new V-shaped line piece that attached from the front of the waist part.
