Ultraman 80 (character)

is the ninth Ultra Brother and also the last live action Ultraman from the Showa era. As his human form Takeshi Yamato, 80 was a teacher at the Sakura-ga-Oka Middle School. He theorized that monsters originated from Minus Energy, which is created from the negative emotions of humans. 80 is a well known teacher from the Land of Light and was the last Ultra Warrior assigned to protect Earth in the main timeline until Ultraman Mebius' arrival in 2006.
==Conception==
===Etymology===
80's name is derived from "New Ultraman of the year 1980".
===Design===
Ultraman 80's design was done by artist Osamu Yamaguchi. It was the opinion of director Koichi Takano that the classic Ultraman design was becoming too over-decorated with each new installment in the series, so 80 was designed to be much more simple while still following the image of the first Ultraman. Takano also attempted to make 80's mask appear more human, so more emphasis was put on 80's nose; red paint was also added to the crest to bring more attention to the nose. Red was also decided to be added to the arms and legs of 80 to bring out the "glove and boots" design that past Ultra Warriors possessed. So, red cuffs were added to 80's forearms and red lines were added to his shins in order to make the design look as faithful to the references as possible.
The modeling of the 80 costume was done by Hirakimai Productions. The edge of 80's eyes was raised in order to hide the suit actor’s peephole, and the mouth-breathing slit was molded into the top and bottom of the mouth. To hide the back zipper of the costume, which was normally hidden by the Ultra Warriors fin, a different approach was taken with 80, his full-head mask was made of FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastics) and was designed to open from the back of the head, leaving no back-pin zipper to hide.
In the design of the NG (Not-Good) suit, the nose of the mask was more square (the final design is more triangular), and the red region of the back was longer. The suit featured in "Ultraman Mebius", however, used the long red back design. In addition, the designer Yamaguchi tried to use ski wear for 80's suit, but the fabrics were more fragile and fell off the suit actor's body during practice shots, so they reverted back to the conventional wetsuit for the costume.https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%A6%E3%83%AB%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%9E%E3%83%B380#.E3.83.87.E3.82.B6.E3.82.A4.E3.83.B3.E3.81.AE.E7.89.B9.E5.BE.B4
The miniatures of 80 in the rising pose for the transformation scenes were modified from the three-pronged model of Ultraman Taro in the same pose.
==History==
===Past===
Not much can be said about 80's past life, but he was said to have been friends with Yullian at that moment. As a child, 80 had once fell for an unnamed crush and had been working on part time jobs to buy her favorite musical instrument. Unfortunately by the time he was able to buy it, said girl had already dumped him for a new boyfriend. Despite 80's own disdain, he decided to give the present to her anyway as a sign of his feelings. 
===Ultraman 80===
Ultraman 80 came to Earth as one of the newest members of the Inter Galactic Defense Force (it is revealed in Ultraman Mebius that he was the ninth Ultra Brother), in the form of Takeshi Yamato. After a five/four-year hiatus since the departure of Ultraman Leo (1974-1975), monsters started reappearing again. Yamato's theory is that monsters are born of human wickedness, hatred, or sorrow. He decides to become a teacher at the Sakura-ga-Oka Middle School and served as a science teacher, as well as the homeroom teacher responsible for 1st Year E Division. He is absolutely dedicated to his students, for he is there to teach them not just about science, but also about life. Unfortunately, he has a penchant for being late, so he does things like promising his students to walk to class on his hands if he is late next time, or even promising to resign as a teacher. He even starts up a band with his students and jams on an electric guitar. His over-enthusiasm quickly wins the loyalty of his students, but often makes him an easy target for the Prime Deputy Schoolmaster Kumi Nozawa. Yamato loves rice omelettes and orange juice. He also loves Kyoko Aihara, the gym teacher, but loses all confidence in himself and sense of composure in her presence. Yamato dons an orange and silver suit to moonlight at UGM (Utility Government Members) after school and on Sundays. He gets the job from Captain Ohyama because they were both present at a park in the first episode, looking for signs of new monster activity. Ohyama is happy to meet someone who believes in the re-emergence of monsters.
However, even his own team members had their doubts, since none of them had any prior combat experience like their veteran captain. At school, only Principal Kennosuke Hayashi knows of Yamato's extracurricular activities. 80 has one of the more difficult human situations of any Ultraman. Ultraman 80 cannot be revealed to be known by humans since his revelation will lead 80 to leave Earth. Yet, Yamato must still balance UGM and school, all the while hiding his true identity while nursing a crush on Aihara. It is no wonder that he is often running to get to class on time. One has to wonder when he has time to grade papers. Though determined to teach his students about responsibility and integrity, he has to lie and break promises constantly to maintain these secret multiple personalities. 
thumb|Ultraman 80 & Yullian
Ultraman 80 and Yullian returned home after the events of the final episode against monster Margodon. In the final episode, UGM destroys Margodon all by themselves. It is revealed that Captain Ohyama knows the real identities of Yamato and Hoshi, and a small celebration is held to appreciate Ultraman 80's and Yullian's assistance while on Earth.
===Ultraman Mebius===
Ultraman 80 reappears in the series Ultraman Mebius.
25 years later, Ultraman 80 comes to Earth persecuting Roberuga II. After a short battle, Ultraman 80 was taking too much damage from the monster. However, in a few moments Ultraman Mebius came and saved Ultraman 80, Ultraman 80 used his Ultra Lance Ray, stabbing the monster, and then 80 and Mebius each used their beams and destroyed the monster. His former students, which one works in the same school as a teacher, know that Yamato is, in fact, Ultraman 80. The students wanted to see him again. They decided to have one final reunion party at the school as the school is to be torn down, soon in the hopes that their mentor would come. Ultraman 80 tells Mebius that he will not attend as he feels that by joining the UGM to fight monsters he failed in his primary mission of teaching his students. As the reunion party starts on the roof of the school, Minus Energy emerges from the school to resurrect the monster Hoe, a monster Ultraman 80 fought before. Ultraman Mebius battles the monster who seemed to be sad somehow and this sadness was being reflected in the school building itself. Ultraman 80 then landed and told Mebius that since it was the negative energy that spawned the monster that he would defeat it. The monster willingly stood and seemed to smile as it dispersed after being hit with energy from 80's Buckle Beam. 80 then sees his student's delight at his appearance and hears them as they shout out how their lives have turned out thanks to him. Ultraman 80 then flies away and reverts to Takeshi Yamato and is joyfully greeted by his students at the final school reunion, as he realized that he hadn't failed them after all.
Ultraman 80 later appears in the final episode of Ultraman Mebius, where he along with the other brothers were destroying a rock made by Alien Empera that was coating the sun.
===Mega Monster Battle Ultra Galaxy: The Movie===
In the beginning, after Ultraman Mebius defeated the monster Bemular and returns to the Land of Light, it is revealed that a growth of Minus Energy is driving the monsters in space mad and that Ace, Jack and 80 were sent to investigate (the reason why the minus energy was growing was because Ultraman Belial was going to be freed soon, and would cause universal chaos). Moments later, after Ultraman Belial defeats all the Ultramen, Ultraman, Ultraseven and Zoffy, he went inside the tower containing the Plasma Spark. When he entered, Ultraman Jack, Ultraman Ace and Ultraman 80 warned Belial that to obtain the Plasma Spark he had to pass through them. Belial started attacking the Ultras, after sending Ace and Jack flying far, 80 started to attack him with a few energy beams. Belial started to fight against Ace again, after retreating a little, 80 came flying to attack him, but Belial hit him hard with his Giga Battlenizer and 80 fell to the ground. Jack told 80 and Ace to use the Combined Ray against Belial, the three fired their beams and it combined into one, forming a strong beam, going straight at Belial, however, Belial used his Giga Battlenizer to hold the attack, and he fired it back at them, exploding on them, and leaving them so hurt they couldn't move. They were beaten by Belial, and when Belial took away the Plasma Spark, the Land of Light froze, and Ultraman 80 was frozen as well. After Ultraman Zero recovered the Plasma Spark, the Land of Light was recovered, every Ultra was unfrozen and was brought back to life, with 80, Ace and Jack included, and all the Ultras went to listen to Ultraman King's speech in the end. 
===Ultraman Zero: The Revenge of Belial===
After Ultraman Zero and Ultraseven fought the Darklops Zero, one of them left a robotic piece. In a reunion of the Inter Galactic Defense Force, Ultraman 80 was able to feel the Minus Energy coming from the robotic piece, showing from where it came from, the Ultras come to a conclusion that the Darklops came from an alternate universe and therefore are unable to come together to stop them, but Ultraman Zero decided to go, so he can find his destiny. When Ultraman Zero left, all Ultras gave their light to him. Some time later, when the Land of Light was attacked by Belial's army, the Inter Galactic Defense Force went to fight the army of Belial, and they all succeeded in destroying the army thanks to Zero's efforts at destroying all of Belial's headquarters, and Belial himself. 
===Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy Chapter 1===
80 was on standby at Planet Kanon in case of emergency during Yullian and Sora's diplomatic trip. Leugocyte suddenly appeared, forcing 80 to descend to the planet to defend it from the monster's rampage. After a quick fight, 80 drove it away. He then returned back to the Inter Galactic Defense Force headquarters where he met with Zoffy, Ultraman Taro and Ultraman Hikari, reporting the situation to them. Coincidentally, Ultraman Ribut was also present, and through him 80 learned of what happened to Ultraman Max. 80 gathered a strike force consisting of himself, Ultraman Neos and Ultraseven 21 to track down Leugocyte, fighting it on Planet Feed. Suddenly, Absolute Tartarus appeared with Reibatos, getting the latter to revive a Gymaira to interfere with the battle. The Ultra Heroes were in a tight spot until Ultraman Cosmos and Ultraman Justice arrived, giving 80 an opportunity to finish off Gymaira and return to helping the others fight Leugocyte. They eventually defeat Leugocyte but are suddenly attacked by Absolute Tartarus, who ambushed them. Fortunately, Cosmos and Justice fuse into Ultraman Legend, forcing Tartarus into retreating. After the battle was over, 80 and the others return to the Inter Galactic Defense Force Headquarters to report the situation to Zoffy. 
===Ultraman Ginga===
Prior to Ultraman Ginga, Ultraman 80 participated in the Dark Spark War but this time he fought not only alongside with the Ultra Brothers but, with the other Ultras that came from other universe and their allies against Evil side. While in their midst battle, Dark Lugiel turned every Ultra alongside their allies, monsters and aliens into Spark Dolls. With the war over an unknown warrior appeared and faced Dark Lugiel but like others he also turned into Spark Dolls. The location of 80's doll is unknown but he likely returned to space following Dark Lugiel's defeat.
===Ultraman Geed===
80 was among the Ultra Warriors who fought against Belial and his army during the Omega Armageddon, but was unable to stop Belial's army from ravaging the universe. 80 could only look on as Belial easily defeated Ultraman Zero, then succeeded in triggering the Crisis Impact before Ultraman King sacrificed his life to undo the damage caused by Belial.
===Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy Chapters Cont.===
Following the alterations to the timeline made by Tartarus and the situation on Satellite Golgotha being reported, 80, alongside Taro, Zoffy, Father of Ultra and Mother of Ultra discussed what he could be after and what "The Kingdom" he mentioned could be. 
Yullian, 80, and a few others were on board the Royal Spaceship on the way to Planet Kanon for the Galactic Federation Peace Conference, but they were attacked and crash landed on Planet Ebil. Only 80 and Yullian survived. They were soon attacked by Zett and his Zetton army, and sent a distress signal to the Land of Light. The two of them fought off the enemies until Ultramen Mebius, Taiga and Z arrived to help them. Later on, Ultraman Zero, Ultraman Joneus, Ultraman Titas, Ultraman Fuma, Ultrawoman Grigio, Ultraman Ribut and Andro Melos also appeared, and they all fought the Zetton army together. Absolute Tartarus arrived through a portal to abduct Yullian, but Zero transformed into Ultimate Shining Zero to stop him.
Soon after defeating Ultimate Shining Zero in Narak, Absolute Tartarus appeared, taking Yullian hostage and informing the heroes of his true motives before getting Ultraman Belial and Ultraman Tregear to fire their beams at them all. The group also received word from Ultraman Hikari that Genegarg had stolen a Z Riser and Ultra Medals from the Land of Light, causing Z to fly off in a hurry while Zero followed him. The Ultra League and the Tri-Squad prepare to recruit more heroes for the upcoming fight against The Kingdom. 
===Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Destined Crossroad===
Arriving back in the Land of Light, 80 and the Ultra League meet with their superiors, with him blaming himself for Yullian's capture. With Father of Ultra giving tasks to the group, Andro Melos reassured 80 that he would not fail in his rescue mission.

==Trivia==
*80 is:
**The first Ultra to have a crest that is not colored silver.
**The first Ultra with more than one transformation scene.
**The only Ultra not to transform on-screen in Ultraman Mebius in spite of his human form making an appearance (Taro doesn't count since he has long since separated from his human host)
**The first main Ultra Warrior to have never been defeated or lose a battle in his own series. His fight with the Zandrias child and mother does not count since he let himself lose the battle to fix the bonds between the two monsters.
**Rarely seen with the brothers, and it became a joke in the 1999 OVA that the Ultra Brothers thought he was a stuck up since he was a teacher.
*80's Color Timer's sound is a low pitch version of Taro's.
*Ultraman 80 is one of the quietest Ultras in battle. During the time of his series, 80 hardly grunts at all aside from jumping or when flying away, he also sometimes made grunts when getting hurt, even breaking Taro's record. 80 was originally the quietest Ultra until Ultraman Powered in Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero would break his record, who almost never made grunts even when injured, except when he flies away and he grunted once when firing the Mega Spacium Beam in episode 1. This too would be broken by a technical count with Ultraman Tiga in the 4Kids dub of the same name series, where Tiga was never voiced.
**The most sound 80 has made was before fighting Jihibikiran, in order to give the rules for their battle.
*Like Taro, 80's original stock grunts (especially the grunt 80 made when he flies away after battle "Shuwatch") are used in later appearances and in video games.
*80 makes a cameo along with Gora in Google's "Chromebook: For Students" commercial boasting virus protection.
*Ultraman 80, along with Ultraman Taro, are the only two Ultra Brothers whose human forms do not make an appearance in Ultraman Saga. Zoffy doesn't count, as he does not have a set human host or form.
*During an interview, Takeshi Tsuruno, Shin Asuka's actor and Ultraman Dyna's voice actor, stated that Ultraman 80 is his favorite Ultra Warrior. Takeshi said that he had watched the series in his childhood and was once mistaken that said 80 would appear in Great Decisive Battle! The Super 8 Ultra Brothers before Hiroshi Nagano, Daigo Madoka's actor and Ultraman Tiga's voice actor at that time, corrected him.
*In episode 23, 80 in his human form Takeshi claims that he is an orphan (having no family members), hence why he is willing to partake in suicidal missions compared to the rest of the UGM members. Although confirmed by the narrator, whether this statement also applicable to 80 or not is unknown.
*The prop used for Ultraman Taro's original rising scene was modified for 80's, which was then modified into Gridman's.
