The Ultra Key (ウルトラキー, Urutora Kī) is a sacred item that belongs to the Ultra Brothers in the Land of Light.

Nature[]

The Ultra Key is responsible for maintaining the Land of Light's orbit in Nebula M78. It resides in the Ultra Tower. Should it ever be removed, the Land of Light will fall out of orbit and will collide with the nearest planet that is on its collision course with. The Ultra Key itself also contains great power, being able to discharge mass quantities of energy, enough to destroy an entire planet with a single blast.

History[]

Past[]

In a story recounted by Dan Moroboshi, in the past, a rogue planet named Deemos was due to collide with the Land of Light. Father of Ultra fired the Ultra Key at Deemos, blowing it to pieces and saving the Land of Light from imminent destruction.

Ultraman Leo[]

Alien Babarue (as Imit-Astra) steals the Ultra Key from the Ultra Tower. Though the Ultra Brothers arrived to stop Babarue, aware of his identity, the alien fled to Earth in disguise.

ACE-ASTRA

Once the Ultra Brothers arrived on Earth in pursuit of Imit-Astra, they were confronted by Ultraman Leo, who had been tricked into believing that his "brother" was being attacked without reason. During the battle between Leo & Imit-Astra and the Ultra Brothers, Babarue was fortunately prevented from using the Ultra Key's energy beam by virtue of the Ultra Brothers' relentless counterattack, but he instead used the device as a blunt-force weapon, utilising its size and weight to block physical attacks and push the Ultras back. At the climax of the fight, Ultraman King arrived and exposed Babarue for the fake he was, breaking the key in half so he could no longer use it.

Though the Ultra Key was now neutralised, the Land of Light continued to descend towards Earth; Babarue wandered the streets of a vacant city and gloated as tidal forces between the two planets began tearing the ground apart.

After learning of the true whereabouts of his real brother from King, Leo went to rescue Astra, then the two Ultras returned to Earth to fix the broken key. With the key repaired, Astra made his way with the Ultra Key in his possession to the Land of Light to end the impending collision, leaving Leo to fight Babarue in one final battle.

Once the Key was restored to its rightful place, the Land of Light returned itself back to M78.

Powers[]

  • Orbit Control: Due to the lack of a Sun as well as the compact nature of the Plasma Spark, which lacks a gravitational pull, the Ultra Key was created to keep the Land of Light in a fixed orbit.
  • Energy Beam: The Ultra Key can fire an energy beam with an incredible amount of energy, capable of destroying asteroids and rogue planets with a single shot. Its power against Earth was fortunately never demonstrated while the device was in Babarue's possession, but it can be assumed that the beam had the capacity to destroy or otherwise critically damage the planet if it had been used.

Other Media[]

Ultraman Fighting Evolution Rebirth[]

In the events of the video game, Ultraman Fighting Evolution Rebirth, the Ultra Key has once again been stolen, this time by Chaosroid S. The Ultra Key is eventually returned to the Ultra Tower after Ultraseven defeats Chaosroid S in battle.
