Ultraman Blu is one of the two titular main protagonists (alongside his older brother) of Ultraman R/B.
He is the younger brother and partner of the protagonist of the series, Ultraman Rosso, and the tritagonist Ultrawoman Grigio. Blu had a human host called Isami Minato.
Though neither siblings learned the full story behind it, Katsumi and Isami would later discover that their Ultra powers were named after their predecessors, Saki's siblings Rosso and Blu. Despite their deaths, part of them in their respective Gyro endured and subsequently chose the two as their successors. Sadly, this fateful succession of power later initially fiercely opposed by the vengeful Saki due to her denial over their sacrifice to the point of perceiving Katsumi and Isami as a stain to their predecessors' memory which didn't help by the two being coincidentally their human counterparts. It took Katsumi and Isami's determination to stop her suicidal plan against Reugocyte, their predecessors' bane and Tregear's creation, that the dying Saki eventually approved the two and chose their sister Asahi to be her heir who would later unlock the power of Ultrawoman Grigio, the very power Saki unable to access in her lifetime.
History[]
Background[]
Ultraman Blu, along with his brothers Rosso and Grigio, were originally a trio of orphans born on the war-torn Planet Sanja. They were raised by Bakubarba in a place known as the House of Bakubarba, where they were trained as mercenaries with expertise in assassinations and other illegal activities. Having no records or relatives, they were easily taken advantage of and discarded if they failed in their duties. However, their lives begin to change when they help the residents of Planet Alhara who are experiencing a water shortage. There, they found a new, more peaceful way of life, although they eventually had to leave the planet due to their reputation as criminals. Their journey takes them to Planet O-50, where they seek the power to become Ultraman to achieve peace without sacrifice.
