Sayuri Tachibana is portrayed by Sarara Tsukifune (月船 さらら, Tsukifune Sarara). The reason Sayuri was chosen as a Dunamist is a tribute to Nagi Saijyo from Ultraman Nexus, who was supposedly to have a deeper plot involvement as the fourth Dunamist but was quickly cancelled and given a slight chance in the final episode due to the series' poor ratings.[3][4][5]

He also invented the Beta Capsule (ベータカプセル, Bēta Kapuseru) in hopes of summoning the original Ultraman but failed miserably and caused an explosion in the lab. Using the statue of Ultraman Tiga and the original Ultraman's knowledge, Gourman created their Cyber Cards, which resulted in the appearance of Beta Spark Armor.
Dr. Gourman is voiced by Yasunori Matsumoto (松本 保典, Matsumoto Yasunori) and is a tribute to Alien Fanton from episode 7 of Ultraman Mebius.
Mechas and vehicles
editXio members deployed three vehicles into the battle, called Xio Special Investigation Vehicles (Xio特捜車, Jio tokusō-sha) with each of them can combine with the combiner unit Xio Musketty (ジオマスケッティ, Jio Masuketti). Additionally, they can also use the power of Cyber Cards as armaments. At the start of the series, only a single Xio Musketty unit was developed but a second unit was made during Greeza's arrival on Earth, used as a sacrificial bullet against the destroyer. Ultraman X The Movie saw the development of two other units in order for all three Musketty vehicles to participate against Zaigorg and its cohorts. All vehicles are named after the main characters of Alexandre Dumas's The Three Musketeers.
- Xio Athos (ジオアトス, Jio Atosu): A Nissan Leaf-based investigation vehicle, its main armament is Athos Laser (アトスレーザー, Atosu Rēzā). By combining with Xio Musketty, Athos can become the fighter jet Sky Musketty (スカイマスケッティ, Sukai Masuketti) and utilizes Fanton Photon Guns (ファントン光子砲, Fanton Kōshi-hō). The fighter jet is themed after the triangle shape.[8]
- Xio Aramis (ジオアラミス, Jio Aramisu): A Nissan NV200-based investigation vehicle, its main armament is Aramis Laser (アラミスレーザー, Aramisu Rēzā). By combining with Xio Musketty, Aramis can become the space shuttle Space Musketty (スペースマスケッティ, Supēsu Masuketti) and utilizes Fantonic Laser (ファントニックレーザー, Fantonikku Rēzā). Space Musketty was developed during X's abduction by Bemstar and later equipped with a second unit of Xio Musketty which possesses an advanced energy measurement unit in place of standard combat weapons. During the events of Ultraman X The Movie, it was revealed to have been armed with a cotton candy launcher by Rui which she used in halting Zaigorg's attack. The space fighter is themed after the circle shape.[8]
- Xio Porthos (ジオポルトス, Jio Porutosu): An e-NT400-based investigation truck. By combining with Xio Musketty, Porthos can become the combat tank Land Musketty (ランドマスケッティ, Rando Masuketti) and utilizes Fanton Rail Cannon (ファントンレールキャノン, Fanton Rēru Kyanon). The combat tank is themed after the square shape.[8]
Cyber Cards and Cyber Monsters
editThe Cyber Monsters (サイバー怪獣, Saibā Kaijū), also known as Cybernetic Monsters (電脳怪獣, Den'nō Kaijū), are artificial monsters stored within the Cyber Cards (サイバーカード, Saibā Kādo) created by Xio out of using Spark Dolls as its main basis. Originally, they were supposed to aid Xio in battling against monster threats but the development was briefly halted due to Cyber Gomora's part. Soon, these cards are utilized by Daichi to initiate MonsArmor, where the Cyber Monster combines with Ultraman X. While most cards usually house Cyber Monsters, but Type U categories instead house copies of Ultramen powers.
It was soon revealed that instead of only being copies to Spark Dolls, Cyber Monsters shares the same consciousness to their Spark Doll templates and materialization process not only requires brainwave synchronization, but also their approval to join their partner. This eventually allows Daichi to finally materializes Cyber Gomora to life. To materialize them, the Cyber Monster's Cyber Cards morph into Spark Dolls and the user "Realize" (リアライズ, Riaraizu) it. However, mental linking with a Cyber Monster can be fatal if used for a long time.
Outside its use as "biological weapons", Cyber Cards can also be used as ammunition in Xio's technologies and arsenal. Several of them were given Limiters (リミッター, Rimittā) within their program due to enormous power.
- Cyber Gomora (サイバーゴモラ, Saibā Gomora): Classified as Type G, Cyber Gomora was created from the data of Daichi's Gomora Spark Doll. It was supposedly brought to life at first but the process failed due to Gomora's part in refusal to prevent Daichi from being hurted. It was the first to be modified by Gourman in order to fit its MonsArmor function to X. Starting in episode 11, while Ultraman X battles King Joe, Daichi managed to reassure his partner and the materialization process successfully initiated. It's finisher attack is Cyber Super Oscillation Wave (サイバー超振動波, Saibā Chō Shindō-ha) where it delivers a large shockwave impulse. Alternatively, Cyber Gomora can be paired with Asuna or other Xio members like Captain Kamiki and Hayato should Daichi finds himself occupied. In Ultraman X The Movie, Cyber Gomora was used by Daichi in a failed attempt to stop Zaigorg's advance towards the stone of Baraji. Gomora's card was used by Asuna to maximize her Xio Bazooka, utilizing Gomora Oscillation Cannon (ゴモラ振動砲, Gomora Shindō-hō) to delay Gorg Fire Golza while Ultraman was recovering from the monster's attack.
- Cyber Eleking (サイバーエレキング, Saibā Erekingu): Classified as Type G, Cyber Eleking was created from the data of Eleking Spark Doll. It was modified by Rui in order to fit its MonsArmor function to X. In Xio's first attempt to hold Zaigorg from advancing, Mamoru used Eleking's card in conjunction with two parabolic antennae to utilize Eleking Energy Shield (エレキング・エナジーシールド, Erekingu Enajī Shīrudo) in hopes of imprisoning Zaigorg in a barrier while Xio members tried to destroy it, until the appearance of Gorg Antlar and Fire Golza turned the tables as they destroyed the parabolic antennae that imprisoned their masters.
- Cyber Telesdon (サイバーテレスドン, Saibā Teresudon): Classified as Type G, Cyber Telesdon was created from the data of Telesdon Spark Doll. By installing the card, it grants them its Lava Heatwave (溶岩熱線, Yōgan Nessen). It was first created and used in episode 4 in an operation to rescue Ultraman X from Bemstar, using Telesdon's lava to crack the bird monster's stomach.
- Cyber Bemstar (サイバーベムスター, Saibā Bemusutā): Classified as Type B, Cyber Bemstar was created from the data of Alien Zarab's Bemstar Spark Doll. It was modified for Ultraman X to utilize Bemstar Armor. While joining Tiga Sky Type and Sky Musketty against Gorg Antlar, Space Musketty used the card and initiated Bemstar Heaping Shield (ベムスタールイルイシールド, Bemusutā Ruirui Shīrudo), blocking Gorg Antlar's attack while Sky Musketty charged and destroyed its wings via Cyber Birdon's card.
- Cyber Zetton (サイバーゼットン, Saibā Zetton): Classified as Type G, Cyber Zetton was created from the data of Quila's Zetton Spark Doll. It was meant for X to use against the real Zetton but Quila activated a hidden malware that enslaved X as part of the plan to enact his revenge on Ultraman Max until Daichi purified the card with Cyber Eleking. In Ultraman X The Movie, Cyber Zetton's card was used by Wataru in Land Musketty against Gorg Fire Golza, utilizing Zetton Rail Cannon (ゼットンレールキャノン, Zetton Rēru Kyanon) through the removal of its Limiter to delay it while Ultraman recovered from the monster's attack.
- Cyber King Joe (サイバーキングジョー, Saibā Kingu Jō): Classified as Type M, Cyber King Joe was created from the data of King Joe Spark Doll. By installing the card, it grants them King Joe Dest-Ray Cannon (キングジョーデストレイ砲, Kingu Jō Desutorei Hō). It was first used in episode 19 by Sky Musketty to stop Daichi's Gomora from advancing towards an urban area. This card was used again in Xio's attempt to delay Zaigorg by Sky Musketty once more but failed due to Gorg Antlar and Fire Golza's intervention.
- Cyber Birdon (サイバーバードン, Saibā Bādon): Classified as Type B, Cyber Birdon was created from the data of Birdon Spark Doll. While joining Tiga Sky Type and Space Musketty against Gorg Antlar, Sky Musketty used the card and initiated Birdon Phoenix Attack (バードン・フェニックス・アタック, Bādon Fenikkusu Atakku) through the removal of its Limiter, shrouding the jet with flames and used it to crash Antlar's wings.
- Cyber Red King (サイバーレッドキング, Saibā Reddo Kingu): Classified as Type G, it was created from Red King's Spark Doll. This card was used again in Xio's attempt to delay Zaigorg by Land Musketty, utilizing Red King Armor-Piercing Bullet (レッドキング徹甲弾, Reddo Kingu Tekkōdan) but failed due to Gorg Antlar and Fire Golza's intervention.
UNVER
editThe Ultimate Noxious event Versus Earth Ranger (究極の有害事象に対抗する地球レンジャー, Kyūkyoku no yūgai jishō ni taikō suru chikyū renjā, UNVER) is an organization founded after the Ultra Flare incident. The organization aims to locate, retrieve and secure unstable Spark Dolls for studying. It was established at the time of Ultra Flare when its predecessor team formed an alliance with the crash-landed group of Alien Fantons (Dr. Gourman's race of origin) in Mexico during their trip to outer space after their planet suffered from depletion of food supplies.[2] Soon Xio was founded under its branch and allies with multiple friendly aliens as means of support. Their base of operation is in Geneva which was stated to be the world's biggest Spark Dolls containment facility, with the second place is in Xio Japan. Unfortunately, the base itself was under attacked by Greeza after absorbing all life forms nearby, including the Spark Dolls to assume its second form.
Daisuke Minamikawa
editDaisuke Minamikawa (南川 大輔, Minamikawa Daisuke, 6, 7) is the chief of UNVER Japanese Branch, he first appeared after tE-rU accidentally destroyed the city with Rudian. During Gargorgon's arrival, he held no mercy for the fugitive and wanted him to be surrendered to the destroyer but stopped by Captain Kamiki. Eventually, after witnessing tE-rU's contribution when he participated in their plan to attack Gargorgon, Daisuke regains faith in Xio members and commended Kamiki for having a good team to manage. According to writer Hirotoshi Kobayashi, Daisuke is an old colleague of Kamiki and was the one who offered him the Captain position in Xio.[9]
Daisuke Minamikawa was portrayed by Koichi Miura (三浦 浩一, Miura Kōichi).
Ultras
editUltraman X
editUltraman X (ウルトラマンエックス, Urutoraman Ekkusu) is an Ultra from space who merges with Daichi as his host to combat against monster threats. While not in transformed state, he resides in the X Devizer, communicating with Daichi over time. Fifteen years prior to the series, he was chasing Greeza and defeated him by throwing him into the sun but in the end accidentally triggered the Ultra Flare incident, thus his body trapped in a form of computer data. He sensed a great frequency in Daichi, being the main reason X bonded with him. His finisher attack is Xanadium Ray (ザナディウム光線, Zanadiumu Kōsen), which capable of regressing his opponents to Spark Dolls instead of killing them.[7]
After Ultraman X lost himself in the cyberspace following his defeat by Tsurugi Demaaga, Daichi ventured in and finds a rainbow which grants him the head-mounted Xlugger (エクスラッガー, Ekusuraggā) boomerang blade, allowing X to become Ultraman Exceed X (ウルトラマンエクシードX, Urutoraman Ekushīdo Ekkusu). The Xlugger is stored on his forehead and can be removed when in need. This form as well expels the Dark Thunder Energy that possessed the monsters.
Near the finale series, X revealed himself to Xio after Greeza headed towards Earth, seeking cooperation with Earth Defense Forces to fight him. Later in the fight, his relation to Daichi was revealed as well but with Greeza proven stronger, the two performed a kamikaze attack by letting themselves absorbed into Greeza and self-destructs, leaving X's Color Timer intact. However, he was revived thanks to Daichi's memory him, as well as Asuna whom managed to find the latter when he drifted in the cyberspace. Using the Hybrid Armor, X manages to defeat Greeza once and for all, preventing the Earth from its fated destruction. Despite still trapped as a computer data, X was later accepted into Xio, now being acknowledged as a member.
During the events of Ultraman X The Movie, X was defeated by Zaigorg and the X Devizer took a huge damage, rendering him untransformed for a moment until the appearance of Ultraman Tiga, which was transformed by Yuto healed the device and finally being able to join the battle once more. Joining with the original Ultraman and Ultraman Tiga, X fought against Zaigorg but once the monster captured the former two's energies, X gained Beta Spark Armor which he used to free them and empower the Ultra Warriors from the worldwide to destroy Tsurugi Demaaga before finishing Zaigorg. X separated from Daichi, revealing that throughout the battle he was able to regain his physical body and set his sight to depart from Earth. Before departing, he thanked Xio for their cooperation since the first time they met and reassured to Daichi that they will always stay united. Sometime later, he returned to Daichi after Desastro made its way to the planet.
Thanks to the upgrades installed by Dr. Gourman, Daichi can initiate MonsArmor (モンスアーマー, Monsuāmā) to combine X with Cyber Monsters.
- Gomora Armor (ゴモラアーマー, Gomora Āmā): The combination result of X and Cyber Gomora, X gains a pair of huge claws as his arsenal, which allows him to create digital shields for protection. His finisher attack is Gomora Oscillation Wave (ゴモラ振動波, Gomora Shindō-ha).
- Eleking Armor (エレキングアーマー, Erekingu Āmā): The combination result of X and Cyber Eleking, X gains a cannon as his arsenal, which allows him to manipulate electricity. His finisher attack is Eleking Electric Wave (エレキング電撃波, Erekingu Dengeki-ha).
- Bemstar Armor (ベムスターアーマー, Bemusutā Āmā): The combination result of X and Cyber Bemstar, X gains an Arm Shield (アームシールド, Āmu Shīrudo) that resembles Bemstar's stomach gorge. The shield can be used as a claw appendage and initiates a finisher attack, Bemstar Spout (ベムスタースパウト, Bemusutā Supauto), where X redirects in incoming attack from the opponent back to them.
- Zetton Armor (ゼットンアーマー, Zetton Āmā): The combination result of X and Cyber Zetton, X gained a pair of huge arm guards/cannons on his hands. It was meant for X to use against the real Zetton but Quila activated a hidden malware that enslaved X as part of the plan to enact his revenge on Ultraman Max until Daichi purified the card with Cyber Eleking. Its main finishers are Zetton Tornado (ゼットントルネード, Zetton Torunēdo) and Zetton Flaming Bullet (ゼットン火炎弾, Zetton Kaen-dan).
- Hybrid Armor (ハイブリッドアーマー, Haiburiddo Āmā): The combination result of X and all MonsAmors, this armor appeared during the final battle against Greeza and wields the Xlugger. The main finisher is Ultimate Xanadium (ウルティメイトザナディウム, Urutimeito Zanadiumu), where X launches an X-shaped ray from his chest before launching the Xlugger. This form was a last minute addition made by Sei Okazaki in hopes of giving a huge impact to the audiences, while the original plan was to have Xio members utilizing the powers of Cyber Cards, which was later used in Ultraman X The Movie.[10]
Apart from that, there are also alternatives to the MonsArmors, the Cyber Armor (サイバーアーマー, Saibā Āmā), which serve as copies of past Ultramen's powers:
- Ultraman Zero Armor (ウルトラマンゼロアーマー, Urutoraman Zero Āmā): The combination result of X and a copy of Ultraman Zero's Ultimate Aegis (ウルティメイトイージス, Urutimeito Ījisu), X gains the Ultimate Aegis and Ultimate Zero Sword (ウルティメイトゼロソード, Urutimeito Zero Sōdo) as his arsenal, which allows him to travel in-between dimensions.[b]
- Beta Spark Armor (ベータスパークアーマー, Bēta Supāku Āmā): An armor utilized by Ultraman Exceed X during his battle with Zaigorg, it serves as an analogy to Ultraman and Ultraman Tiga. His primary weapon is the Beta Spark Sword (ベータスパークソード, Bēta Supāku Sōdo), which is the combination of the X Beta Capsule (エクスベータカプセル, Ekusu Bēta Kapuseru) and the X Park Lence (エクスパークレンス, Ekusupāku Rensu) and allows him to turn into an arrow configuration and unleash the Beta Spark Arrow (ベータスパークアロー, Bēta Supāku Arō) as his finisher. When combining with Ultraman and Ultraman Tiga, he is capable of utilizing Cyber Wings (サイバーウィング, Saibā Wingu) that provided any Ultra Warriors from various locations on Earth with power boosts.
Ultraman X is voiced by Yuichi Nakamura (中村 悠一, Nakamura Yuichi).[11] His design was made by Masayuki Gotou and was originally themed after Ultraseven but in hopes of invoking an "armor-wearing Ultraman", the original Ultraman's design was incorporated instead, though Ultraseven's design was shelved and reused in Exceed X's Xlugger. In addition to the series' cyberpunk motif, the 1982 science fiction film Tron movie was adapted as well.[12][13]

After Daichi freed X from Cyber Zetton, the two quickly assist Max in fighting Zetton and Quila. With his mission ended, he lends them a portion of his power in a form of a Cyber Card before departing. This card was once used by X to summon Max Galaxy and reducing King Joe to scraps.

Antagonists
editGreeza
editVoid Monster Greeza (虚空怪獣 グリーザ, Kokū Kaijū Gurīza, 1, 4, 21, 22) is the primary antagonist of Ultraman X. Called the mysterious luminescent life form (謎の発光生命体, Nazo no Hakkō Seimei-tai) in the beginning, he is a sentient space void that had destroyed three planets which emitted biological life signs and sets the Solar System as his recent target. However, he was thrown into the sun by Ultraman X, creating the Ultra Flare and set forth the motion of the series. While thought to be dead, Greeza in fact survived his destruction and planned the Dark Thunder Energy (ダークサンダーエナジー, Dāku Sandā Enajī) attack on Earth while slowly recovering his strength, racing towards the Earth and contemplated to absorb the Spark Dolls to strengthen himself before destroying the Earth. Facing the Xio members and X, he battled them and easily overpowered the resistance until X performs a Kamikaze attack, which apparently killed both him and Greeza. However, Greeza survived the explosion and stole all of Xio's Spark Dolls to achieve its final form until X revived as well and with the help of the escaped Spark Dolls, they fused with X and destroyed Greeza once and for all.
Its first and initial form was a spiked ball, later evolved into a more humanoid second form after absorbing the Spark Dolls storage facility in UNVER Nevada Branch, which also allowed it to become a living space distortion. After absorbing Xio's Spark Doll, Greeza entered its final form, which gave it a spike armor and capable of manifesting the Spark Dolls' power for its own use.
Gargorgon
editPetrification Evil Monster Gargorgon (石化魔獣 ガーゴルゴン, Sekika Majū Gāgorugon, 6, 7): An intelligent space life form, Gargorgon was once responsible for petrifying an ancient human civilization and sank it under the sea. She attacked Planet Gold in search of its energies and returned to Earth after tracking it but met resistance in the form of Ultraman X, Rudian and Earth Defense Force, UNVER and Xio. She petrifies Ultraman X and demands the Earth to give tE-rU to her in 44 minutes or else the Earth population will receive the same fate.
