List of Ultraman Arc characters

This is the character list of 2024 Ultra Series Ultraman Arc.

SKIP

[edit]

The Scientific Kaiju Investigation and Prevention center SKIP (スキップ, Sukippu) is an organization that conducts scientific investigations and implements precautionary measures against kaiju-related disasters.[1][2] Alternate universe counterparts of Yuma, Shu, Rin, and Hiroshi are members of the GGFJ.

Yuma Hize

[edit]

Yuma Hize (飛世 ユウマ, Hize Yūma) is a 23-year-old rookie investigator assigned to the Hoshimoto City Branch of SKIP. After losing his parents during Monogeros' attack on K-Day, Yuma bonded with the alien being Rution. His imagination reformed Rution into Ultraman Arc, modeled on Yuma's childhood drawing of an ideal hero.

Near the series finale, Sweed and Ze-Su attempt to sever Yuma's bond with Arc by imprisoning him in an illusion where the K-Day incident never occurred. Yuma rejects the illusion and escapes. Following Sweed’s death, Yuma and Arc depart for space to continue addressing the conflict in Star Sonia.

Yuma transforms into Ultraman Arc with the Arc Ariser (アークアライザー, Āku Araizā) and the Arc Cube (アークキューブ, Āku Kyūbu).[1][2] His imagination enables Arc to creatively adapt attacks, form new weapons, and generate Arc Cubes.

Yuma Hize is portrayed by Yuki Totsuka (戸塚 有輝, Totsuka Yūki),[1][2] with Paul Castro Jr. voicing him in the English dub.[3] His childhood self is portrayed by Rihito Tachibana (立花 利仁, Tachibana Rihito).

He is armed with the Elemagun (エレマガン, Eremagan) handgun and stationed at the Hoshimoto City Branch of SKIP, where he partners with Yuma.[4][5]

Before joining SKIP, Shu lost a partner during a confrontation with Alien Repo, leading to resentment toward extraterrestrials. His outlook changes after encountering Alien Croco. Tasked by the Global Defense Force with monitoring the Onyx, Shu initially conceals his mission but gradually softens and comes to view Yuma as a true friend. He is also portrayed as a coffee enthusiast, becoming restless and easily flustered without caffeine.

Ultra Warriors

[edit]

Ultraman Arc

[edit]

Ultraman Arc (ウルトラマンアーク, Urutoraman Āku) is the titular Ultra Warrior of the series and the merged form of Yuma Hize and Rution, a being of light from a distant galaxy. After Ze-Su declared war on those who opposed his plan to save Star Sonia, Rution traveled to Earth, where he bonded with Yuma following Monogelos' attack and his failure to save Yuma's family. Rution remained dormant within Yuma until his adolescence, emerging when Digelos launched an attack on Earth. From then on, Arc engaged in repeated battles against monsters and Ze-Su's forces.

When Sweed attempts to reopen the Ze-Su Gate, Rution reshapes it into the Galaxy Armor using his imagination. Although this grants Arc the ability to face stronger opponents, the armor also exposes him to pollutants from Star Sonia, weakening his connection to Yuma. After escaping Guilebaku's illusion, Yuma uses his imagination to purify the pollutants into a new Arc Cube and defeats Sweed’s Star Form. Yuma and Arc later depart Earth to continue their struggle against Ze-Su on Rution’s homeworld, learning that Star Sonia's crisis can be resolved without endangering Earth or other planets.

Arc primarily fights using energy-based techniques, with Yuma's imagination enabling unorthodox strategies and the creation of new abilities. His finishing move is Arc Finalize (アークファイナライズ, Āku Fainaraizu).[1][2] His primary weapon is the Arc Eye Sword (アークアイソード, Āku Ai Sōdo).[16][17]

Other forms include:

  • Rution (ルティオン): Arc's original form prior to fusing with Yuma.[1][2] This was also the form he used while pursued by Monogelos.
  • Arc Armors (アークアーマー, Āku Āmā): Armors powered by Arc Cubes that activate when Arc's Color Timer blinks red. Their appearances and designs are based on Yuma's childhood sketches.[16][17]
    • Solis Armor (ソリスアーマー, Sorisu Āmā): Sun-themed armor granting super strength and pyrokinesis at the cost of speed. Its weight also prevents flight.[16][17]
    • Luna Armor (ルーナアーマー, Rūna Āmā): Moon-themed armor that enhances speed at the cost of defense. It includes the Luna Saucer (ルーナソーサー, Rūna Sōsā) gauntlet with defensive and illusionary functions.[16][17]
    • Galaxy Armor (ギャラクシーアーマー, Gyarakushī Āmā): Galaxy-themed armor granting energy and space-time manipulation abilities, as well as the Arc Galaxer (アークギャラクサー, Āku Gyarakusā) formed from four Arc Feathers (アークフェザー, Āku Fezā). Created by Rution by reshaping the Ze-Su Gate, this form leaves Arc vulnerable to toxins transmitted through the gate.
    • Satur Armor (サトゥルーアーマー, Saturū Āmā): Saturn-themed armor granting cryokinesis. Exclusive to the stage show New Generation The Live during the Ultra Heroes Expo 2024 Summer Festival in Ikebukuro Sunshine City and the Ultra Heroes Expo 2024 Umeda Summer Festival.[18][19]

Ultraman Arc is voiced by Masato Hagiwara (萩原 聖人, Hagiwara Masato) in Japanese,[20] and by Christopher Wehkamp in the English dub.[21]

Guil Arc

[edit]

Dark Warrior Guil Arc (闇戦士 ギルアーク, Yami Senshi Giru Āku) is a dark clone of Ultraman Arc that appears in Ultraman Arc the Movie: The Clash of Light and Evil. Guil Arc is created by Alien Repo to support her invasion of Earth, exploiting Shu Ishido's lingering trauma over the death of his partner prior to joining SKIP. Ishido had expressed his grief through a sculpture titled Guilty, which Repo delivered to SKIP and used to trigger his inner darkness. By combining this darkness with a stolen Arc Ariser and a newly created Arc Cube, Repo forcibly transformed Ishido into Guil Arc.

Ishido ultimately regains control with Yuma's help after a mysterious stranger provides him with another Arc Ariser. Following the battle with Repodios, the Arc Ariser is returned to Yuma, and the Guil Arc Cube disappears along with most of Ishido's memories of the event.

As a clone, Guil Arc mirrors Ultraman Arc’s abilities, performing techniques in reversed stances. His finishing move is Guil Arc Finalize (ギルアークファイナライズ, Giru Āku Fainaraizu). He can also equip Arc Armors by borrowing the corresponding Arc Cubes, most notably donning the Galaxy Armor during the battle with Repodios.

Other Ultra Warriors

[edit]
  • Ultraman Blazar (ウルトラマンブレーザー, Urutoraman Burēzā; 19): An Ultraman from an alternate universe who, alongside Earth Garon, battled Hellnarak and its forces. When Ultraman Arc was dimensionally displaced, Blazar cooperated with him to create his own Arc Cube, allowing Yuma to channel Blazar's powers in later battles.

Antagonists

[edit]

Sweed

[edit]

Sweed (スイード, Suīdo) is an alien devotee of Ze-Su and the primary antagonist of the series. She possesses psychic abilities, including telepathy and telekinesis, as well as multidimensional powers. Sweed commands Zadime, using it to battle Ultraman Arc and to open the Ze-Su Gate. After Zadime is defeated, she later returns alongside Guilebaku. Following Guilebaku's defeat, she transforms into Dark Galactic Warrior Sweed (暗黒宇宙戦士 スイード, Ankoku Uchū Senshi Suīdo) but is ultimately defeated by Ultraman Arc.

Sweed is portrayed by Eriko Sato (佐藤 江梨子, Satō Eriko), with Sam Slade providing her voice in the English dub.[22]

Ze Su

[edit]

Dark Space Lord Ze Su (暗黒宇宙卿 ゼ・ズー, Ankoku Uchū-kyō Ze Zū) is an alien leader of several planets within his and Rution's galaxy and is revealed to be the true culprit behind the K-Day incident. Facing the imminent destruction of his galaxy, Ze-Su created the Ze Su Gate (ゼ・ズーゲート, Ze Zū Gēto) as a means of dispersing Star Sonia's surplus energy, though at the cost of Earth's destruction. His plan was opposed by Rution's species, leading Rution to travel to Earth and seal the device. Humans later identified it as the Onyx (オニキス, Onikisu), linking its presence to K-Day and subsequent monster attacks, culminating in battles in Hoshimoto City.

Years later, Ze-Su dispatched Sweed and Zadime to reactivate the Ze-Su Gate, but it was reformed into the Galaxy Armor by Rution/Arc's imagination. Ze-Su exploited the armor's connection to Star Sonia to inject pollutants into Arc, gradually weakening him. Despite the development of a new solution to stabilize Star Sonia without harming Earth, Ze-Su continued his efforts through Sweed and Guilebaku. When these attempts failed and Yuma purified the pollutants into a new Arc Cube, Ze-Su forcibly transformed Sweed into her Alien Form as part of constructing another Ze-Su Gate. However, this plan was also thwarted by Arc.

Ze-Su's ultimate fate remains unknown, as Yuma and Rution/Arc depart Earth to confront him directly in Rution's galaxy.

Alien Repo

[edit]

Evil Phantom Alien Repo (邪悪怪人 レポ星人, Jaaku Kaijin Repo Seijin) is the main antagonist of Ultraman Arc the Movie: The Clash of Light and Evil and an ally of Ze-Su's faction. She fuses with Zerogelos to form Evil Monster Repodios (邪悪怪獣 レポディオス, Jaaku Kaijū Repodiosu), but is defeated by Ultraman Arc, who uses the Solis Armor, and Guil Arc, who uses the Galaxy Armor.

Alien Repo is voiced by Miki Mizuno (水野 美紀, Mizuno Miki).

Pollutants in Earth's atmosphere—transmitted by Ze Su—weakened Arc and caused the Galaxy Armor to malfunction, allowing Guilebaku to subdue him and induce sleep. Within the dreamscape, Yuma overcame the narrative and transformed into Arc, but Guilebaku manipulated the environment to restrain him. Shu entered the dome barrier and destroyed the belly crystal with a device firing Onyxium Particles, collapsing the barrier and enabling GDF attacks in both realities. Arc escaped, activated the Galaxy Armor, and destroyed Guilebaku in the dream, killing its real-world body as well.

  • Space Sage Alien Diggle "Sascal" (宇宙賢者 ディグル星人 サスカル, Uchū Kenja Diguru Seijin Sasukaru): An eccentric yet benevolent alien who can manipulate time. He set Yuma three trials to judge his worthiness as a hero; when Guil Arc (the final trial) appeared, Sascal enlisted Yuma's future self to lend an Arc Ariser, by which point Sascal had become a trusted friend. Portrayed by Naoto Takenaka (竹中 直人, Takenaka Naoto).
  • Dog-Wolf Monster Doglf (犬狼怪獣 ドグルフ, Kenrō Kaijū Dogurufu): A friendly monster nicknamed "Mugon" (ムーゴン, Mūgon) by Motoki Mukawa, inhabiting the Mt. Akiyoshi region. Near the end of its lifespan, it defeated two Shagongs with Arc's help before dying of old age.
  • Interstellar Parasitic Plant Gartura (宇宙寄生植物 ガチュラ, Uchū Kisei Shokubutsu Gachura): A parasitic plant capable of possessing humans. Shot and killed by Rin.
  • Galactic Beast Zerogelos (宇宙獣 ゼロゲロス, Uchū-jū Zerogerosu): A Monogelos subspecies used by Alien Repo. It fused with Alien Repo to become Repodios.
