Protagonists

Ultraseven/Dan Moroboshi

Shigeru Furuhashi

Returning from Ultraseven, Shigeru Furuhashi (フルハシ・シゲル, Furuhashi Shigeru) is a former member of the original Ultra Guard, serving as their strongest member and had been active alongside Dan Moroboshi in their prime years. 30 years after Seven left the Earth and eventually returned in an injured state, Furuhashi had since been promoted into the rank of captain of the new Ultra Guard, leading the new members; Tōgō, Risa and Kaji into handling alien invasions. After Seven was revived and stopped the Alien Pitt's invasion, Furuhashi tried to find the Ultra's human form, Dan in the middle of the Alien Metron siblings' invasion plot. Years later in the 30th Anniversary Trilogy, Furuhashi was promoted to a staff officer of TDF's Far East Base branch and observed the progress of the new Ultra Guard under Shiragane's leadership.^[1] He reunited with Dan at the end of Bandelas' attack and when Seven was about to depart from Earth.

During The Final Chapters Hexalogy, Furuhashi was killed during his retirement day by Alien Valkyrie and had his name further tarnished when the alien tried to sabotage Kaji's Friendship Plan. Although his death was avenged by Seven not long after, Furuhashi was revived by the will of the universe to become a spectator of Earth's past and the ancient humans being invaders who overthrew the Nonmalt as the dominant race of their planet. This discovery made Dan/Seven hesitant, but Furuhashi's reassurance to believe in mankind inspired the Ultra to interfere in the civil war between mankind and the Nonmalt despite that doing so would lead to his banishment from his home planet. Although Furuhashi tried to compensate by offering Dan a place on Earth, his old friend choose to accept his punishment instead. Furuhashi was absent in the Evolution Pentalogy, but appeared in the series' novel adaptation as one of the TDF officers who spearheaded the reconstruction of TDF Far East Base.

Sandayu Dokumamushi (毒蝮 三太夫, Dokumamushi Sandayuu) reprised his role as the elderly Shigeru Furuhashi.^[1][2] Furuhashi's return in the final installment, I am an Earthling, was due to the staff members' dissatisfaction of the character's death in Legends and Glory.^[3]

Due their close relationship with Furuhashi, they also objected to the Friendship Plan proposed by Kaji, but was forced to stand down when the latter assumed Furuhashi's position to monitor their activities. After Kaji was revealed to have done various shady operations regarding the Omega Files, the team announced their rebellion against the staff officer and broadcast the Omega File towards the outer space at Ultraseven's advise.^[4] In the Evolution Pentalogy, the Ultra Guard was due to be disbanded after TDF signed their peace treaty with the universal civilizations, but they opted to go rogue after discovering that aliens had been secretly invading the TDF Far East Base, forcing their members to operate on their own in addition to a handful of TDF officers led by Saijō.^[4]

He often butted heads with the more pacifistic Satomi, as well as due to his inability to memorize her name. In the Evolution Pentalogy, Shima's weakness was revealed to be his insecurity over his reliance on physical fitness.

She originally joined Shiragane's Ultra Guard under Inagaki's orders to act as the mole, until she abandoned her superior's orders to properly joining the team. In addition to participating in the destruction of TDF Far East Base, she was revealed to be a neo neuron human, whose transformation was a result of the Akashic Records to serve as a bridge for Kazamori to obtain the record's true copy and foiling Alien Garut's plan for Earth domination.

In the Evolution Pentalogy, Inagaki was forced to conspire with Alien Garut after being mislead by the latter's fake copy of Akashic Records, hoping to ensure mankind's survival in Earth's future under the alien's rule. This led to him to allowing aliens to kill and replace most of the TDF personnels, sending Yuki to spy in the Ultra Guard and eventually disbanding the team as a whole.

Antagonists

Kaji

Kaji (カジ) is a hot-blooded member of Ultra Guard under Furuhashi's leadership in the 1994 TV Special.^[1] However, after the events of an alien invasion, Kaji's relationship with Furuhashi became strained at best due to the presumed deaths of his teammates. In the novel adaptation, he was revealed to have lost his girlfriend, Miku, in that alien invasion after her transport airplane was targeted, leaving Kaji with their engagement rings as her memento.

Kaji became the major antagonist of The Final Chapters Hexalogy, having been promoted to TDF's staff officer at the same time as Furuhashi.^[1] He proposed the Friendship Plan (フレンドシップ計画, Furendoshippu Keikaku) to the TDF, which involved the interstellar bombing planets with intelligent life forms that were percecive as potential threats to Earth's safety.^[1] Although this plan was met with oppositions by Furuhashi, the Ultra Guard and a few of TDF members, Kaji nonetheless took advantage of the chaos resulted by Alien Valkyrie to discredit the Ultra Guard and placed himself in charge of their operations when Furuhashi was killed by the alien.^[2] With Valkyrie's existence proven, Kaji choose the alien's planet as the first victim of the Friendship Plan, followed by several other planets after that. With him running Furuhashi's former position to observe the Ultra Guard's activities, Kaji more or less became a hindrance to their operations and often butted heads with the team members. Eventually in I am an Earthling, Kaji was revealed to have conspired with TDF's Public Security Bureau in silencing those who knew about the Omega Files, such as former Ultra Guard captain Kiriyama and came close to executing Seven while he was in disguise as Kazamori. When the Ultra Guard announced their rebellion against Kaji, Seven went through Kaji's defenses, causing him to throw his guns once Takenaka approved the interstellar broadcast of the Omega Files.^[4] This caused Kaji to break down in tears as he believe mankind's claim to Earth would be threatened. With his Friendship Plan abolished, Kaji's final fate was remained ambiguous.

Kaji is portrayed by Shigeki Kagemaru (影丸 茂樹, Kagemaru Shigeki).^[1][2][7] The character was absent in Ultraseven 30th Anniversary Trilogy due to Shigeki Kagemaru being preoccupied with his role as Tetsuo Shinjoh in Ultraman Tiga.^[13]

Nonmalt

The Earth Hominid Nonmalt (地球原人 ノンマルト, Chikyū Genjin Nonmaruto) is the final villain of the Ultraseven 1999 The Final Hexalogy episode 6, I am an Earthling.^[1]

The Nonmalts were originally the dominant species of planet Earth some 10,000s of years prior, until mankind's ancestors invaded the planet and overthrow Nonmalt as the new dominant species. After the Nonmalt race were eradicated by the Ultra Guard, led by captain Kiriyama, in episode 42 of Ultraseven, a lone Nonmalt survived the genocide and mislead Seven into exposing his true identity to the TDF before she exposed herself as a Nonmalt survivor who wanted to eradicate mankind to avenge her race. Although she validated her claims through the Omega Files, Nonmalt was still adamant in fulfilling her revenge by sending Zabangi to stop the TDF from broadcasting the files to outer space, as this admittance would've effectively absolved mankind of their ancestor's crimes. After Zabangi was killed, Nonmalt warned Seven that he had turned himself into a pariah before vanishing.

The novel adaptation of Heisei Ultraseven had Nonmalt assuming the form of a young Anne by reading Dan Moroboshi's memory of his departure from Earth. However, Anne's memory overloaded her mind, driving her somewhat insane and leading her to command Zabangi to destroy everything 'beautiful', eventually getting herself burned alive by her own monster.

• Guardian Deity Monster Zabangi (守護神獣 ザバンギ, Shugo Shinjū Zabangi):^[14] The guardian deity worshipped by the Nonmalts in the ancient past. Zabangi was sent to foil the TDF's attempt at broadcasting the Omega Files by destroying their facility. The monster managed to defeat both Miclas and Windom while they were guarding it, but was swiftly killed by Seven when the Ultra slit its neck with his Eye Slugger. Zabangi's main ability was to spit Superheated Fireballs (高熱火球, Kōnetsu Kakyū) from its mouth.^[15]

The Nonmalt's human form is portrayed by Noriko Watanabe (渡辺 典子, Watanabe Noriko).^[2]

Alien Garut

Metal Alien Alien Garut (メタル宇宙人 ガルト星人, Metaru Uchūjin Garuto Seijin) is the main antagonist of Ultraseven 35th Anniversary Evolution Pentalogy.^[16]

An alien who proclaimed himself to be a Fixed Point Observer, Alien Garut first arrived on Earth a year after Seven's imprisonment in the Horsehead Nebula, plotting to invade the planet by fabricating the Akashic Records to his favor. Using this, he managed to sway TDF staff officer Inagaki and Suwa to his side and slowly replaced TDF officers in the Far East Base with his alien cohorts while taking advantage of the peace on Earth through TDF's peace treaty with alien civilizations.^[4] He also assumed the human form of TDF researcher Tashiro (タシロ) to keep an eye on Seven's imprisonment in Horsehead Nebula.^[5]

Four years later in the present day, Garut put his plan to procure the Plant Life Forms to his side in motion by having the radical faction of Alien Pegassa launching their attack to absorb cities through their weaponized Dark Zone. Then after Alien Godola failed to prevent the Ultra Guard from blowing up TDF's Far East Base, Garut manipulated a trio of psychic powered children while his alien cohorts brainwashed the human society into a false peace and for Suwa to unleash the Neo Pandon. When the TDF tried to hunt down the Plant Life Form, Garut attempted to present himself as Kazamori's ally, but the young man saw through his trick. With Kazamori/Seven foiling Garut's deceptions, the alien was forced to summon Gaimos and enlarge to a giant stature to face Ultraseven. He was blown into pieces by Seven's Wide Shot while Kazamori undid his lies of the Akashic Records by presenting his teammates with the real copy of it.

• Mystic Evil Rare Monster Gaimos (妖邪剛獣 ガイモス, Yōja Gōjū Gaimosu):^[16] A monster under Alien Garut's command, it has a pair of shoulder cannons that can fire Explosive Fireballs (爆裂火球, Bakuretsu Kakyū).^[15] It was deployed to destroy the Urosu Shrine and bury the entry point to the Akashic Records to maintain his fabrication of the real document. After damaging the Ultra Hawk 1, Gaimos faced of against Ultraseven and was joined by its master in the fight. As the monster was about to kill Seven, the Ultra rose and stabbed its gut through the wound he created, causing Gaimos to fall after succumbing to the attack.
