History[]

Ultraman Mebius[]

A close up of Zamsher

Far away from Earth, on Oshima comet, two warriors battled fiercely: An Alien Magma, and a mysterious swordsman in armor, known as Zamsher. A second Alien Magma came to aid the first in battle, but the first was ultimately killed by Zamsher, leaving the second to fight alone.

Later, as the meteor approached Earth, Zamsher finally destroyed the second Alien Magma by using a slicing move that split him, as well the the meteor, in half. He then climbed aboard a lone meteorite, but was soon greeted by another: Alien Valky, who was on a meteorite as well. But instead of fighting, the two leaped from their meteorites and prepared to land on Earth; their new battlefield.

Mirai Hibino went to investigate, but both passed him up, and eventually landed on Earth, ready to fight. Alien Valky, however, was no match for Zamsher, and who stabbed him in the back, and watched as he fell to the ground, as he blew up. Mirai soon returned to Earth, and both had a long conversation, where Zamsher revealed his reason for coming to Earth: he wished to battle Hunter Knight Tsurugi. Mirai decided to turn into Ultraman Mebius.

The two fought with their swords/sabers, but Mebius' was sliced in half quickly. But Serizawa, who was in the area, turned into Ultraman Hikari, who, as the former Hunter Knight Tsurugi, accepted Zamsher's challenge. With one quick slash, Hikari seemingly destroyed Zamsher's sword, later revealed to be Mebius who destroyed it. Beaten, Zamsher decided to leave, he walked into the sunrise and prepares to become stronger through other means.

A Sword to Defend[]

As revealed in a novel bundled with ARCHIVE DOCUMENT magazine, Zamsher manages to get his Hoshikirimaru fixed by Ultraman King as he fought against various swordsmen, including Alien Tsuruk and Alien Terrorist. He as well recalls his past fighting a younger King Galtan. During one of his travels, he met with Alien Fanton and Alien Psychokino Kako as they fought against Alien Ateria and Zamsher managed to defeat him into a fight.

Return and Death[]

"Now....I know....what it means......to protect....Mebius."

―Zamsher's final words before dying.

Zamsher and his newfound comrades would return months later after Ultraman Hikari discovered what Alien Empera was doing to Earth's sun as it was being consumed by darkness. Zamsher reappeared on Earth and quickly destroyed a mass-production Inpelaizer right before it would destroy GUYS' base.

After destroying the robot the Mass Production Inpelaizer went into the atmosphere. Shortly after Alien Empera made his appearance. With little effort the fiend surrounded the planet in darkness. Zamsher, Alien Psychokino, and a soon arriving to the scene Ultraman Hikari could not so much as touch the Emperor as his dark shock-waves were more than the heroes could handle. Zamsher sacrificed himself before the Emperor could finish off GUYS, giving his allies another chance to fight.

Ultraman Ginga[]

In episode 7, him along with many other monsters are seen cheering Ultraman Ginga on as he fights Dark Galberos. The Closed World It is likely that Zamsher returned to space in his original form after Ginga defeated Dark Lugiel. Your Future

Zamsher's Spark Doll was seen in Dark Lugiel's collection alongside Chaos Darkness, Alien Metron, Hyper Zetton, Gan-Q, Sculla and many others.

Yoooooouuu....

Ultraman Blazar[]

Prior to the events of Ultraman Blazar (and presumably the events of Ultraman Mebius), Zamsher dueled against the alien warrior Zangill on a remote planet. Zamsher was victorious, and helped Zangill to see the error of his ways. He then entrusted Zangill with a soul-capturing crystal and a mission to vanquish the wandering souls of 108 kaiju to achieve salvation.

Trivia[]

  • Like the Alien Magma, the mouth of Zamsher's suit actor is exposed.
  • He appears to be based on famed tactician from the Sengoku Period, Date Masamune, mainly for his one-sided eye.
  • A cyborg would later be created under Zamsher's design, called Ghost Rebirth. Said warrior is just like Zamsher, speaking in a warrior accent and portrayed tsundere-like attitude, even shows a power hungry personality.
