Tsuifon (comet)

is a fictional celestial body that appeared in Ultraman. A comet that shines red, Tsuifon approaches and passes by Earth on a regular basis, with its presence being connected to the appearance of monsters on Earth. In addition, Tsuifon is believed to be the home of Dorako, a monster whose presence is often connected to sightings of the comet.
==History==
===Ultraman===
The comet Tsuifon was discovered by Dr. Iwamoto and the members of SSSP. Although they initially feared a collision course with Earth, the comet barely passed the planet. However its presence trigger the discarded bombs at the Japanese alps and Dorako exited from that comet to arrive on that location. This also caused the awakening of Guigass and Red King II, the latter swallowed one of the hydrogen bombs. Red King II emerged as the last monster remaining, and Ultraman interfered right after that. By decapitating the skull monster, Ultraman brought its head in order for the bomb to safely explode.
The crisis was averted, but Dr. Iwamoto brought up his calculation that Tsuifon will return to Planet Earth in 8:05 am on July 2, 3026, this time the collision would be precise. However, the SSSP noted that by the time it returned, humanity would have the technology needed to stop it.
===Ultraman Orb===
On Shin Matsudo's desktop, the English words "comet colliding with Earth in 3026" appeared at his screen. Although no real mention of it, it's implied that the screen was a theorized impact of the Tsuifon in the future. 
==Nature==
Comet Tsuifon is portrayed as a spherical object shining red. The red light it emitted is most likely the cosmic ray it radiated, which is enough to detonate nuclear bombs just with close proximity. Strangely enough, it also housed Dorako, suggesting either Dorako lived on Tsuifon or simply piggybacking the celestial object as its transportation.
==Other Media==
===Ultraman: Super Fighter Legend===
The OVA of the manga takes place in the year 3026, where Tsuifon is set to hit the Planet Earth. Here, it was revealed that Tsuifon isn't just a comet, but a monster named after it.

==Trivia==
*The☆Ultraman episode 14 The Star's Devil Has Come! would introduce the Evil Star, a celestial object which had a similar role to Tsuifon, that while collision course with Earth is avoidable, its presence caused worldwide monsters and animals to run wild, resulting with appearances of Gellon and Gadon. Eventually, the Science Guard Party decided to take the fight to outer space and destroy the comet with Ultraman Joneus, this act itself makes it a departure from Tsuifon.
