Vortex Fire (ボルテックファイヤー, Borutekku Faiyā) is a Kaiju that appears exclusively in Ultraman Z's manga prequel, Fight! Sevenger.[1]

Subtitle: Exploding Flame Monster (爆烈炎怪獣, Bakuretsu Honō Kaijū)

Conception[]

Design[]

Vortex Fire was designed by the winner of a Kaiju designing contest held by Televi-Kun magazine under the promise of being the next monster to appear in the manga. Mangaka Tetsuya Kawaishi cleaned-up the monster's design for its canonical appearance.

History[]

Fight! Sevenger[]

From the Matsudori City, Vortex Fire rises up and begins its reign of terror on the nearby city. It defeated Sevenger to the point of exhausting its battery reserves. STORAGE then formulated their plan by using Red Smogy as a human bullet, where SC-2 Prototype Machine escort it to the monster. Idatenran helped with the mission until Sevenger delivers the blow, followed by a headbutt attack once the monster became paralyzed. Fight! Sevenger
