An interesting observation I've made about the primary ray attacks of Ultra warriors is that, instead of igniting/exploding on impact, the energies seem to absorb into the target before detonating.


Speaking of Ultraman the original version didn't have a "complete stream", it's got gaps, like thousands of tiny particles being fired instead of a single large stream. Kinda like the "laser dart" thing I mentioned with MOGUERA's eye lasers.

The delayed explosion thing is pretty much a trademark of Ultraman and super sentia shows in general. Even Zone Fighter's missiles and lasers tend to have a delayed explosion usually.

That's true; and I think that goes for a majority of other Ultras as well.

Congratulations on the well structured and thought out thread there. I wasnt expecting such detail! It is in an interesting topic. I always wanted to know the deal with Destoroyah's beam? Was it supposed to dissolve the enemy? I thought thats what Oxygen destroyer was supposed to do so then why did his beams just burn shi*?

I think it's implied that it is most effective in the water (remember the fish dissolving? Or all the reports of dead whales?) but I'm just guessing.

*Looks at you're avatar and see's GFW Gigan*

Ah shit! I forgot to add Gigan's Cluster Beam. Well, I guess that would fit the multiply thing along with Spacegodzilla's Corona Beam.

Oh shit! yeah how did I forget that :P I love that shotgun blast. I would have liked to have seen that deployed a bit more effectively. I loved FW Gigan he had so many cool moves that should have been show cased better. But back to beams...

I thought that the Oxygen Destroyer beam was supposed to create the same devastating effect above water as the original OD device did under it? I always thought the beam was a confusingly under powered weapon.

I think the dead whales were supposed to be the work of Junior.
