Video Debate: Starting with Ultraman Boss

Both of them had their homes raided by the robot Mana; one had her Shepard Crystal stolen, and the other had her system completely crashed.

This is arguably the most degrading aspect of both.

If you have many plans in normal times, but you fail at the crucial moment, can you be considered wise?

What's more, they also have the common problem of villains: when there are more than one of them, they start fighting amongst themselves.

The two monks ran out of water; they were even worse off than humans.

[As for Etalgar, he is quite adept at strategy.]

Although it's unclear why he harbored a grudge against Ultraman, he clearly made thorough preparations before hunting and sealing Ultraman.

[First, he destroyed Planet Zant and implanted false memories into Arena, manipulating her to transfer her hatred to Ginga, thus launching a revenge campaign against all Ultramen and becoming Etelgar's accomplice.]

Secondly, he did intelligence work.

It's impressive that he was able to pinpoint Ultraman's location so accurately.

After all, not all Ultraman stay on Earth. Didn't Cosmos leave Earth and go to Planet Juran after the story ended?

Each Ultraman sealed by Etelgar is not to be trifled with. They have a defense team to help them in their home turf, and are bound to humans. They can unleash their supernatural powers and deus ex machina at any time.

A regular boss facing a fantasizing Ultraman is doomed to die.

The fact that Etelgar was able to seal these Ultramen shows that he has mastered the techniques to fight the main Ultraman.

Two points: one is to resolve the battle quickly, and the other is to leave the corresponding universe immediately after achieving one's goal.

The main point is the second one; the first point is for the purpose of achieving the second point.

Most of the defense forces do not have the technology to travel through time and space, and once they leave their home ground, Ultraman's power of willpower becomes ineffective.

Furthermore, Etelgar gave each Ultraman a separate sealing chamber to prevent them from creating inexplicable chemical reactions when they were grouped together.

Of course, Etelgar couldn't be considered to have a complete grasp of the situation or to have devised a flawless plan.

Wasn't Etelgar's miscalculation in dealing with Zero a mistake?

[Even in his normal state, Zero's strength surpasses that of many main Ultras, reaching the level of an Ultimate Ultra. Moreover, Zero maintained his Ultimate Zero form throughout the pursuit.]

In other words, the fighting techniques used against a regular protagonist like Ultraman are useless against Zero. He cannot defeat Zero quickly and might even be defeated by Zero himself.

This became an unsolvable problem for him.

Previously, there had always been one or two Ultramen, but supporting Ultramen hadn't appeared. But now, with Ginga, Hikaru and Sho are locked in a fierce battle, inseparable.

Unable to deal with the two Ultramen working together, he was then blocked by Zero who arrived shortly after, which turned the situation into a three-man battle, putting him at an even greater disadvantage.

As a result, his entire plan failed.

In terms of strategy, Etelgar > Dark Lugiel > Victor Lugiel!

Chapter 25 Galaxy BOSS Settlement 2

[Next are the five attributes that most significantly influence the outcome of a battle: physical attributes, combat skills, beam energy attacks, weapons and equipment, and subordinate troops.]

In this respect, each BOSS is actually quite similar; there is no particularly obvious difference in strength and speed.

Victor Lugiel demonstrated his physical prowess by overwhelming two Ultramen, while Etelgar showed his ability to capture Ginga with one arm and grab two Ultramen with both arms.

In terms of defense, all three bosses demonstrated the ability to withstand Ultraman's beam attacks without taking damage.

While Dark Lugiel and Victor Lugiel relied on their true forms to withstand attacks, and Etelgar relied on its armor for defense, Etelgar never removed its armor from its first appearance until its defeat, thus never having the opportunity to demonstrate the defensive capabilities of its true form.

Therefore, in terms of physical attributes, Victor Lugiel = Etelgar > Dark Lugiel.

Then there are fighting techniques, which are quite obvious.

Dark Lugiel was completely outmatched by Taro, while Victor Lugiel relied entirely on brute force, displaying absolutely no fighting skills.

Etelgar's fighting prowess overwhelmed Cosmos, and he easily defeated Galaxy and Victory, though he was slightly inferior to Zero.

The ranking is: Etelgar > Dark Lugiel > Victor Lugiel.

[Next comes beam energy attacks, which is Lugiel's forte.]

[Dark Lugiel has a record of defeating Ginga with the Dark Lugiel Impact, and even after losing the Dark Spark, he can still turn aliens into Spark Dolls with his beams, but only the Chebulians, who are not good at fighting and do not have the ability to grow to gigantic size.]

[Victor Lugiel has no fighting techniques; he relies entirely on energy attacks to defeat opponents.]

Although the ultimate move, Viktorium Cannon, has a long charging time and may not hit anyone, it does have the effect of leveling a mountain.

The massive, wide-range light blasts repeatedly pushed Galaxy and Victory to the brink of destruction, even shattering them on the spot.

The petrifying lightning can instantly turn Ultraman into a stone statue.

This move is almost identical to Gatanothor's petrification ray.

[And Etelgar's beam attacks are his weakness.]

The Etel Light Bullet, which is frequently used in battle, looks impressive but is actually powerless, and it doesn't even manage to bring Ultraman to the red light level.

Compared to the previous two, it's clearly far inferior.

Therefore, in terms of beam attacks, Victor Lugiel > Dark Lugiel > Etelgar!

Next up are the weapons and equipment.

In this respect, Dark Lugiel is virtually unmatched by any alien.

His Dark Spark is a powerful weapon that ranks among the top, or even strives to be in the top three, even in the entire Ultraman multiverse.

It can ignore the difference in combat power between the user and the opponent, turning the opponent directly into a spark puppet, and making them lose their self-awareness, which is almost the same as being dead.

It can also materialize darkness through dark sparks. The strength of the materialized form is not much different from the original form, and it even improves in terms of physical data.

In actual combat, performance depends entirely on the operator's skill.

In terms of expressiveness, the Galaxy Spark, which is of the same level, is far inferior to the Dark Spark.

The Galactic Spark cannot undo aliens turned into Spark Dolls, not even a Spark Doll like Taro who retains consciousness.

Then there's Victor Lugiel.

The Chebul aliens, as fans and pseudo-believers of Dark Lugiel, created a pseudo-Dark Spark using fragments of Dark Lugiel's body, which they called the Chebul Spark.

The Chebul Spark cannot turn aliens into Spark Dolls, but it can materialize Spark Dolls into dark forms.

This undoubtedly provided a large number of troops for the early Chebulians' plan to invade Earth.

Furthermore, the Chebulians' advanced technology enabled them to successfully create powerful biological weapons such as the Five Emperors and Victor Lugiel.

Etalgar also has a considerable amount of weaponry and equipment.

His armor and feathered robe can easily defend against most of the beam attacks of normal Ultraman. Even if the armor and mask are sacrificed, they can withstand Ultimate Zero's ultimate arrow.

This means that the armor, feather robe, and mask are not individual defenses, but a complete set covering the entire body. If an attack is strong enough to break through such a defense, it will only reduce the durability of the entire set of equipment, rather than destroying a single part.

In other words, even if the armor is reduced to just an arm guard, attacks on the unarmored parts of the body, such as the chest and head, will still be blocked.

Next is the Time-Space City. This fortress can provide good fire support, has a large enough prison to hold enemies, and can travel between different time periods, making it very useful.

Essential items for home and travel, and even for murder and arson.

[Comparing the three, in terms of weaponry and equipment, it's clear that Dark Lugiel > Etelgar = Victor Lugiel!]

[The last item: subordinate legions.]

To make this comparison, we obviously need to define a scope, which is the number of subordinate legions that can be commanded in the final battle.

[Take Dark Lugiel as an example. He also has a group of aliens under his command, such as the Balgi aliens and the Nackle aliens.]

These aliens usually helped him collect dark energy, but they all disappeared during the final battle, clearly indicating they couldn't be considered part of Dark Lugiel's fighting force.

Unlike Victor Lugiel, whose robot army and alien alliance under the Chebulians still appeared during the final battle and fought against the forces of justice.

However, the betrayal of his subordinates, who personally dealt a heavy blow to their former leader, was naturally a negative factor.

Etelgar has only one fixed subordinate, and that is Princess Alena of Zant.

Arena's mastery of the Magic Mirror power played a crucial role in Etelgar's plan to seal Ultraman.

[Etalgar, through his abilities, firmly kept Arena under his control, making the chance of betrayal almost zero.]

The real betrayal occurred late in the final battle.

Arena was saved by Gauss and the Galaxy, so naturally the two Ultras wouldn't send her to the battlefield again. Her impact would be far less than that of Mana, who betrayed the Chebulians.

Etelgar's true subordinates were puppets he created using fear energy.

These puppets were created based on Ultraman's nemesis. Although they are puppets, their strength should not be underestimated; they are much stronger than ordinary monsters.

Even if they can't play a key role in team fights, they can still hold off the enemy's helpers and buy themselves time.

Without the ability to create these puppets, Etelgar would have been blasted to smithereens by being surrounded by nine Ultramen.

In terms of subordinate legions, Etelgar > Victor Lugiel > Dark Lugiel

Considering factors such as character design, battle record, strategy, physical attributes, combat skills, energy projection, weaponry, and subordinate legions, Etelgar is undoubtedly the most powerful.

In a head-on battle, Etelgar would have virtually no chance of losing to Dark Lugiel, and the same goes for Victor Lugiel.

[If it's a sneak attack, unless Dark Lugiel's Dark Spark can instantly turn the alien into a puppet like in the Spark Puppet Battle, victory is unlikely.]

However, considering all factors, Etelgar undoubtedly has a greater chance of victory in all aspects.

Therefore, Galaxy and Victory's greatest nemesis is Etelgar!

Chapter 26 New Generation X

The universe of Ultraman X.

Asuna: "Daichi, watch out!"

Earth: "Bring it on."

No sooner had Daichi finished speaking than Asuna kicked him to the ground.

Asuna and Daichi, along with Hayato Kijima and Wataru Kazama, are in a pair and are undergoing their daily combat training.

Although Asuna appears to be a delicate young girl, she is actually proficient in hand-to-hand combat and ground fighting techniques, making her far superior to Daichi, a researcher who is completely powerless.

While Asuna was dominating the weaker opponents, Hayato and Watari were locked in a fierce battle.
