Alien Baltan - The Return of Ultraman

The Return of Ultraman

This monster re-appeared in the series The Return of Ultraman, as Alien Baltan Jr. (Alien Baltan IV) this baltan was smaller, was brown, and also, the claws were smaller and blunt.

Of the vast numbers of microscopic Baltan that had formed the original Alien Baltan, one had a son, Alien Baltan IV. Following his father’s demise on Earth, the younger alien planned his revenge on Earth and the Ultras who protected it over the next few years and after Jack defeated Alien Knuckle and Black King, he was among one of the many aliens that would arrive on Earth to battle Ultraman Jack. However, unlike his father, Alien Baltan IV was not as good a fighter and well aware of that fact, so he procured a massive robot by the name of Billgamo to pilot into battle against the Earth and Ultraman Jack. Late one night, Alien Baltan IV arrived on Earth in the form of a fireball, entering a building under construction and briefly appearing before vanishing. A young boy saw the alien but no one believed him. Another boy also saw something strange decided to investigate himself, entering the building. As he looked around, he saw nothing and left his dog alone to keep looking, who was attacked by a mysterious cloud and abducted after stepping in a puddle of red liquid. As the boy searched for his dog, he heard him barking from inside a wall. Suddenly, he was confronted by Alien Baltan IV who mocked the young boy. He allowed him to run, wanting MAT to come so he could destroy them. The boy called the one man who would most likely believe him, Goh. The human host of Ultraman Jack was called by phone and alerted to the situation, who still had trouble believing him but was convinced. The next day, he went to the construction site and tried to tell them the truth about Alien Baltan IV but they would not believe him until he took them to the exact place he’d seen the alien. Realizing the boy may be right, they decided to check it out, finding the wall had been torn away. The boy then stepped in one of the alien’s booby-traps and was sucked into the vile invader’s shadow world. Having gotten MAT involved, Goh arrived to investigate the sighting and little did they know they were being watched by Baltan Seijin IV from his shadow dimension. Knowing Goh was Jack’s host, Alien Baltan IV was finally ready to begin his vengeance, first by showing a shadow of the boy on the wall in front of them. Goh realized that Alien Baltan IV was very real and now had the young boy as his captive. Finally ready, Alien Baltan IV prepared to unleash his mecha from its hiding place in the shadow world. Goh chased a boy into the building and pushed him out of the way as he stepped in the booby trap and was nearly sucked into the shadow world but was saved by MAT and the boy as the building began to shatter. Deciding to kill two birds with one stone, Alien Baltan IV sealed the team in the building as he was activating his battle machine, hoping to crush them. Luckily, Goh found a window and broke it, allowing him to escape as the building began collapsing, revealing Billgamo, piloting the robot into a rampage from inside it, MAT trapped inside its body as well. However, while Billgamo was battling Ultraman Jack, the alien’s captives where freed from the Shadow World and escaped Billgamo with MAT. When Jack managed to overcome the juggernaut of a machine, Alien Baltan IV emerged from his crippled mecha. Swearing to come back for his revenge one day, Alien Baltan IV took off to try to escape but Jack would have none of that. Firing the Specium Ray, Jack killed the latest Baltan invader once and for all.

It is possible that Alien Baltan IV did not die from Ultraman Jack's Specium Ray, as he could have teleported before it hit him since all the other Baltans could do this.
