| ~ Ultraman Ace to a group of kids before leaving Earth |
Ultraman Ace is a major protagonist in the Ultraman franchise, serving as the titular protagonist of his series of the same name produced in 1972-1973.
He is the fifth Ultra brother to have arrived on Earth and one of the few Ultras to have 2 human hosts. Additionally, he is the adopted son of Father and Mother of Ultra, the older adoptive brother of Ultraman Taro, the godfather of Ultraman Z, and the arch-enemy of Yapool.
What Makes Him Pure Good?[]
In General[]
- While his killings of the Choju are quite lethally brutal, most of it was justified considering that, as confirmed by Ace himself, the Choju are incapable of feeling emotions and were originally created to be biological weapons by Yapool himself. As a matter of fact, given they were made to carry out the evil will of their creator and caused tons of deaths and destruction throughout their attacks, this makes Ace's killings of them all the more justified due to the necessity of ensuring the Earth's protection and sake, especially when it comes to viler Choju capable of heinous deeds such as Brocken, Mazaron Man, and Lunaticks. Despite this, however, he is capable of sparing Choju (e.g. Cowra and Aprassar) and showing remorse over killing them due to knowing they were victims of Yapool (e.g. Black Pigeon and Aquarius).
- Even though the Ultraman franchise has incredibly high admirable standards due to the multiple numbers of New Generation Ultramen crossing over to the main universe, Ace still stands out for having fewer resources, doesn't have form-changing abilities like Zero or Mebius, and even his own godson Z, and given the fact that the Choju had proven to be an even greater threat than the average Kaiju.
