Ultraman Z (character)

Z

## Portrayal

"*Please recite my name with pride as you enter the fight! Ultraman Z!*"
—Ultraman Z's catchphrase[src]
**Ultraman Z** is the main protagonist of *Ultraman Z*.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Assimilation:** Like all Ultras, Z is able to merge with other lifeforms to heal them by his lifeforce. In doing so, he is also able to stay in environments that do not provide him with enough energy to maintain his physical form.
* **Ultra Fusion:** With the use of the TBA and TBA, Z is able to utilize various Ultra Fusion forms.
* **Size Change:** Z is able to grow back to his original size from his human size.

### Weaknesses

* **Time Limit:** Like with most Ultras, Z has a time limit of three minutes on Earth. Z's time limit gets shortened to fifty seconds when he uses his human-sized form.
* **Spirit Desynchronization:** Unless both Z and Caleb try as hard as they can and their spirit are properly motivated, Caleb cannot transform into Z. If Caleb becomes too overwhelmed and his spirit starts falter, Z's Color Timer will go off; In extreme cases, Z reverts back to his original form from any of his Ultra Fusions.
