History

Ultraman Ace

Barabas was one of Yapool's choju that yapool had specifically planned to be used in his latest effort to kill Ultraman Ace. Barabas's attack was first felt upon the older brother of a young boy, killing him. Later, Ultraman Ace was called into action by an Ultra Sign by the Ultra Brothers, who were on their way to investigate the planet of Golgotha. As Ace left to join his garrison, Yapool released Barabas onto Earth, who quickly went into smashing cars, buildings, and whatever laid in his path, with only little opposition in the form of TAC. It was also soon discovered that the investigation on Golgotha was a trap to kill the Ultra Brothers by Yapool, while Ace managed to escape thanks to some convincing, Ultraman, Zoffy, Ultraseven, and Ultraman Jack were shackled to crosses that had been prepared for them on the planet.

Ace managed to return to Earth and quickly fought Barabas into the Ultra's favor. Yapool however warned Ace had if he kills Barabas, the Ultra brothers would be killed by the entity himself. Unable to properly fight with the thought of his brothers in danger, Barabas gained the upper hand attacking Ace until Ace reverted back to his previous forms of Hokuto and Minami as Barabas returned back to Yapool, his mission a success.

Barabas is dead

Barabas' brutal death.

The next day, Barabas returned to the city he attacked with his only opposition being TAC, leaving the tide of battle, one-sided. Once Ace recovered, rescued the Ultra Brothers, and stopped Ace Killer he returned back to Earth to settle business with Barabas. The battle was roughly at a standstill between the ultra and the Choju. Barabas tried to kill Ace by shooting his Sword at the Ultra, but Ace caught the sword and threw it back, impaling Barabas through the torso. Ace then rushed forwards, and delivered a blow to the back of the beast's head, dislodging its eyes and leaving the monster dashing about in intense pain. Finally, Ace dislodged Barabas' mace, caught it, and charged, slicing the Choju's head off as he rushed past. Amidst great cheering from TAC and civilians, Ace flew off to recover.

Ultraman Taro

Although not physically seen he became the arms of Tyrant, a monster who was created/combined by the souls of one of the past defeated monsters, which would appear in other movies.

Ultraman Ginga

Barabas participated in the Dark Spark War fighting alongside various monsters against Ultras until he was turned into a Spark Doll by Dark Lugiel. He was first seen as a Spark Doll being dug by Hikaru Raido after detecting him with the Ginga Spark. Alien Icarus then stole the Spark Doll after Hikaru gave it to Misuzu Isurugi. Icarus then dark lived himself as well as Barabas, Red King, Seagoras, King Crab, Bemstar, and Hanzagiran to form Tyrant. After Tyratn was defeated by Hikaru as Ultraman Tiga and Tomoya Ichijouji as Jean-nine, all of the monsters, including Barabas, were turned back into Spark Dolls and were the collected by Hikaru and his friends. In episode 7, him along with many other monsters are seen cheering Ultraman Ginga on as he fights Dark Galberos.

It is likely that he returned to space in his original form after Ultraman Ginga defeated Dark Lugiel.

Trivia

  • In the special Ginga the Live! Barabas appears along with many of the other Tyrant monsters (except Alien Icarus) to help host along with Gomora and Alien Godola.

Powers and Weapons

  • Flames: Barabas can emit a deadly stream of fire from his mouth.
  • Grappling Hook: Barabas can fire out a chained grappling hook from his spiked mace hand. This chain can then coil around an enemy's throat or body part. However, this ability has a fatal flaw, in that if an opponent can get hold of the weapon, they can take it off and use it themselves.
  • Sword Flashes: Barabas can create paralyzing flashes of light emitting from the sword on his head.
  • Sword Launch: The horn-like sword that adorns Barabas’ head is capable of launching from his head like a missile. However this sword does not have a homing ability and can be picked out of the sky and used as a weapon, even by his enemies.
  •  Tail: Barabas' tail splits into three pieces near the end of it.  It can be used to strangle foes.
