History

The☆Ultraman

Ultraman Joe

Ultraman Joneus in The☆Ultraman

A being from the Planet U40, Joneus was the strongest of the Great Eight, eight of the strongest warriors of the planet. During the war with the Hellar Fleet, the former Ultras targeted the Earth hoping to divide the Ultra forces. Ultraman Joneus was sent to protect the Earth from danger. On the way he merged with the human named Choichiro Hikari. Since then Joneus only appeared in Ultra form when Hikari wielded his Beam Flasher. During the conflict against the Hellar Fleet, Joneus, and therefore Hikari, fell in battle. Hikari was taken back to U40 by another Giant Ultra where the pair were revived and Hikari met his younger sister Amia. Eventually the pair met up with the Scientific Guard and the group assisted the Ultras in battling the Hellar Fleet. Eventually Hellar was defeated and Hikari and Joneus returned to Earth to continue protecting it, being assisted occasionally by Amia. Ultraman Joneus was successful in protecting Earth from various monsters and aliens. After many long battles Joneus eventually separated from his host allowing Hikari to meet him in human form before he returned home.

Ultraman: Great Monster Decisive Battle

For the first time Ultraman Joneus appeared live in the 1979 film. In the film however Ultraman Joneus is referred to as Ultraman Joe.

Like most of the other Ultras featured in the movie, he was only given a short bio featuring his ray the Planium Ray. However unlike the other Ultras, his fight scene is new live footage as he fought Bedoran in a mossy forest. Ultraman Joe and Bedoran were at a close match until Joe used Planium Ray B to eliminate the deadly beast. He is later shown as stock footage for most Ultra Brothers movies.

Trivia

  • All of the Ultras with a time limit on Earth like planets, Joneus and his people have the longest time limit at four minutes.
  • The red and white Ultra was originally known simply as Ultraman to the humans but it was later learned that Joneus was his real name around episode 20.
  • He is alternately known as Ultraman Joe, Jonias or J.
  • Ultraman Joneus was the first anime Ultraman show in the entire series.
  • Despite being introduced around the same time as Ultraman 80, Joneus is not considered a 'Brother', as he isn't even from the same continuity as other Ultras.
  • Toku crossover
    So far, Joneus is the only Ultraman to team up with a Super Sentai team, the Battle Fever J team, two Kamen Riders (Kamen Rider Stronger and Kamen Rider V3), the Japanese Spider-Man and Doremon in a stage show, and Battle Fever J Stage Show at Super Hero Korakuen Yuenchi.
