Bazanga appeared in 2023 TV series called Ultraman Blazar. Bazanga (バザンガ) is a space crustacean Kaiju who appeared in the first episode of Ultraman Blazar.
A monster from space, Bazanga landed on the Earth in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, where it went on a rampage. The GGF sent out multiple teams and prepared several countermeasures, but had thus far all failed to deter the space monster. Captain Gento Hiruma and his team were airdropped and intended to strike at Bazanga using special ammunition to target its flesh between the folds of its shell, but encountered several obstacles including contradictory orders from the higher ups. After Gento got the aircrafts to lure Bazanga to a suitable firing location, the monster became enraged and started attacking more aggressively, blowing away another special team which Gento went over to help alone. When their last member fell unconscious, the Blazar Brace and Blazar Stone suddenly appeared to Gento, who found himself transformed into Ultraman Blazar.
Blazar fought against Bazanga, marking the first appearance of an Ultraman on the Earth. While protecting the people around him, Blazar fought against Bazanga but was struggling until Emi Aobe fired one of the special rounds at Bazanga's head, disorienting it and giving Blazar a chance to make a comeback. After tearing off both of the blasters on Bazanga's arms, Blazar defeated the monster by hurling his Spiral Burrade at it, destroying the monster at last.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Organic Blasters: Each of Bazanga's arms have four vent-like openings, resembling a Gatling gun, from which it can fire explosive spine-like projectiles. When it gets aggravated, Bazanga enters rage mode, where its antennae rotate upwards and the blasters move forwards, allowing it to fire far more rapidly and over a longer range/time before detonating.
- Carapace: Bazanga's scale-like skin is hard and resistant to attacks such as missiles, bombs, and artillery shells.
Weaknesses[]
There is a gill-like organ on Bazanga's chest for respiration, and a tactic is deployed by GGF’s special forces to launch special projectiles into the gap below the chest, deactivating its internal activities and halting its progress.
