Ultraman Great

Ultraman Great (ウルトラマンG（グレート）, Urutoraman Gurēto) is the titular hero, who is simply called as the "Ultraman" in-series. Hailing from Nebula M78 of the Land of Light, Great chased the Gudis to Earth, where it plans on corrupting all life, mutating other creatures into monsters and awakening existing ones.[15][16][4]

During the Mars exploration, two astronauts are Jack Shindo and Stanley Haggard had encounters monster Gudis. But Gudis killed Stanley Haggard while tries to escape in their ship but it is blown up. After Gudis was defeated by Ultraman Great but Gudis metamorphoses into a virus and travels to Earth, Jack able to return to Earth after merging with Great and transforms into him using the Delta Plasma. Later, Jack transforms into Great and battle against the Bogun in Australia. Since his body condition cannot adapt to Earth surroundings, he is forced to bond with Jack Shindo.[17][3][16] A serious problem for Ultraman Great is that he can only last for three minutes in his natural state on Earth. If two minutes elapsed during a fight with a monster, Great's power jewel changed from green to a flashing white color to warn him time was running out.

In episode 6 Super Gudis reappears, more powerful than before. It imprisons Great, but Jack distracts it by ultimately showing it the futility of its mission. Even if it does manage to corrupt all life, eventually there will be nothing else to corrupt. The distraction allows Great to break free and destroy Super Gudis once and for all. For the rest of the series the environmental themes are stronger and the monsters usually arise from human pollution.

In the final episode, a doomsday scenario begins with the appearance of two powerful monsters are Kilazee and Kudara, which tries to wipe out the human race for abusing it. Great is defeated by Kudara, but Jack survives. Ultimately UMA use an ancient disc to destroy Kudara by reflecting its own power at it, Great defeats Kilazee and carries it into space, separating Jack from him and restoring him on Earth as a normal human. The victory is seen as another chance for the human race. He is voiced by Matthew O'Sullivan in English and Masaaki Okabe (岡部 政明, Okabe Masaaki) in Japanese dub.[4][18]

Ultraman Great's costume different from the previous Ultramen, with the color timer is a triangle and the body color is white and red. Great's spandex suit was created by Kiyoshi Suzuki (鈴木 清, Suzuki Kiyoshi) the producer and also a photographer, and instead of a traditional rubber suit, so that the "actor could move in it" and "reduce the risk of heat exhaustion" however, the suit actor passed out one day in the spandex suit.[19][20][21][20][22]

Delta Plasma (デルタ・プラズマー, Deruta Purazumā) is a Color Timer-shaped pendant that Jack Shindo wears and uses to transform into Ultraman Great. Jack gingerly places it in his palm, closes his eyes, emits weird pulsating synthesizer noises and emerges as Great from amidst fireworks.[17][23][3][16][24]

His main finishers moves are Burning Plasma (バーニングプラズマ, Bāningu Purazuma)[25][17][26][3][16] and Magnum Shoot (マグナムシュート, Magunamu Shūto).[25][27][3] He can also perform beam finishers, such as Knuckle Shooter (ナックルシューター, Nakkuru Shūtā),[25][17][28][3] Great Slicer (グレートスライサー, Gurēto Suraisā) [25][17][29][3][16] is an energy sword with a variation of Double Great Slicer (ダブルグレートスライサー, Daburu Gurēto Suraisā),[25] Dissolver (ディゾルバー, Dizorubā) is an atomic disruptor can dissolve monster's corpse,[25][3] Finger Beam (フィンガービーム, Fingā Bīmu) [25][17][3] a needle laser fired from the index of middle fingers with a variation of Double Finger Beam (ダブルフィンガービーム, Daburu Fingā Bīmu), Disk Beam (ディスクビーム, Disuku Bīmu),[25][17][30][3] Palm Shooter (パームシューター, Pāmu Shūtā),[25][17][26][3] Star Beam (スタービーム, Sutā Bīmu)[3] and Arrow Beam (アロービーム, Arō Bīmu).[25][3] The others normal moves are Triangle Shield (トライアングルシールド, Toraianguru Shīrudo) a triangle barrier,[25][31][3] Great Punch (グレートパンチ, Gurēto Panchi),[3] Great Chop (グレートチョップ, Gurēto Choppu) [3] and Great Kick (グレートキック, Gurēto Kikku) [32]
