==History==
===Ultraseven===
After a young girl is found lying dead in the street, the UG is called in to investigate and discovered that the watch she was wearing might have contributed to her death. The Ultra Guard went on reconnaissance work until they found a vendor selling the same watches. After following him to a strange building, they discovered that he was an alien (known as Alien Spell) talking with the council from his home world. Alien Spell and his council began to speak of eliminating humans so they wouldn't massacre their race with nuclear war, like on their own world. The next day a strange ad appeared in a newspaper, telling children to stop by the strange building for free watches. The Ultra Guard did their best to stop the children from entering and barely managed to hold them off. Following that, the building exploded with Alien Spell growing in size and terrorizing them. Alien Spell tried his best to get the kids to not run away from him to no avail. The Ultra Guard sent their fighters to stop him, but Alien Spell dispatched his saucer after them. He managed to hold one of the fighters in place so he could attack it. Alien Spell managed to retreat from the Ultra Guard. Later that day, Alien Spell was seen attacking a young boy in the forest. He was quickly shot at by the Ultra Guard. Alien Spell grew once again and started a new battle against the Ultra Guard. As the battle started to become grim, Dan turned into Ultraseven. Even with the assistance of his saucer, Alien Spell was of little match for Ultraseven. The flying saucer was then destroyed by the Ultra Guard. Without any other options, Alien Spell attempted to flee. Ultraseven used his Eye Slugger to slice Alien Spell in half vertically. 
====Trivia====
*In 1970, a trading card that came bundled with a magazine referred to Alien Spell as . Although the name was unused in the show, the magazine's editor Shoji Otomo came up with the name as Alien Spell's design, complete with keloid scars, resembles hibakusha, survivors of the atomic bombings. Given that hibakusha were subject to terrible discrimination in Japan, a member of an atomic bomb victim organization who saw the card wrote a letter of protest to the publishers. This was noticed by newspaper Asahi Shimbun, and their report on the issue raised a public outcry. Tsuburaya Productions' president at the time, Hajime Tsuburaya, released an apology, promising not to release anything related to Alien Spell again.https://www.huffingtonpost.jp/entry/ultra-seven_jp_5c5aa716e4b0cd19aa941045 As such, Alien Spell's episode has not been rereleased since, apart from in the CINAR English dub on TNT.
**Interestingly in the TNT dub, the Spell were changed to just be vampiric aliens that merely wanted to feed upon blood.
**Shoji Otomo had already used the name "Alien Hibaku" in a 1968 book, but this went unnoticed at the time.
**Despite Tsuburaya's words, several magazines have mentioned this episode and Alien Spell.https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/スペル星人#封印後のメディア露出
