King Joe (キングジョー, Kingu Jō) is a robot that first appeared in Ultraseven. A powerful super robot formed from several Alien Pedan UFOs, King Joe leads their charge in their invasion of Earth. With the ability to separate and recombine, this robot is more than a match for any Ultra Warrior.[1]

History[]

Ultraseven[]

A super robot created by Alien Pedan,[2] an alien race with scientific knowledge that far surpasses humanity and had a mission to stop an International Defense Conference. King Joe can split apart into four separate space ships to move at high-speed, and attacks enemies with its superior strength and destructive beams fired from its forehead. King Joe’s body is made from an incredibly strong metal which easily reflects Ultraseven’s Eye Slugger as well as attacks from the Ultra Guard’s weapons.

In King Joe’s separate ship form, it dove into the ocean and destroyed the Terrestrial Defense Force’s submarine the SS Arthur. Then King Joe flew to an International Defense Conference being held in Kobe where it fused together before the onlooking TDF. The TDF was not able to stop King Joe as it attacked the Defense Center. Even when Ultraseven appeared and attacked with his Eye Slugger and Emerium Beam, his attacks bounced right off, leaving both Ultraseven and the TDF out of options. He tackled King Joe and pushed it on its back. Immobilized, King Joe split back into four separate ships and flew away.[The Ultra Guard Goes West (Part 1)]

King Joe reappeared in Kobe Bay after Alien Pedan decided to invade Earth for the last time. It unleashed destruction with many beam attacks, and when Ultraseven arrived, King Joe used its super strength to overpower him. Finally, the TDF launched their newly-developed R3C bomb at King Joe which made it freeze in place and then fall over and explode.[3][The Ultra Guard Goes West (Part 2)]

Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle[]

King Joe Black (キングジョーブラック, Kingu Jō Burakku) appeared in the form of its four smaller ship forms by patrolling the planet Boris, King Joe Black slaughtered everything in its path per orders of its masters, the Alien Pedan. On an unknown but still malicious agenda, the first of the robot's victims were a stray Angross and Gromite who were engaged in battle before the robot noticed the ZAP SPACY flying nearby and it attacked them too, shooting them down and stranding them underwater. Luckily after repairing the Pendragon, the ZAP SPACY resumed their flight to Vincent Island to find and rescue the survivors of the Planet.[The Pendragon Doesn't Rise to the Surface!]

King Joe Black returned to ambush Rei and his Gomora once more, while they were locked in battle against a Salamandora and a Lunatyx. King Joe Black murdered Salamandora and Lunatyx and combined to form its true form to battle Gomora itself. The robot proved to be extremely powerful by vastly outclassing Gomora in battle and taking every attack without showing any signs of damage. Even with the assistance of Litra, Eleking, and the ZAP SPACY all fighting as well, King Joe Black continued to shrug off their assaults, and it took down all three of Rei's monsters in the process. Realizing that he had no chance of winning their fight, and that everyone would be killed if he kept on, Rei begrudgingly returned back to the Pendragon after a simultaneous blast from Gomora, Litra, and Eleking's attacks struck King Joe Black point-blank and still didn't do any harm to the robot, which followed up by taking down the three monsters once again with its launcher.[Unexpected Reunion]

King Joe Black soon began to get desperate in its hunt for the ZAP SPACY as it was seen again (in its four ship modes) murdering a ZAP Rescue Force that was on its way to save the ZAP SPACY and the survivors, as well as being responsible for sabotaging an artificial sun that was in orbit around Boris, threatening to kill all life on the planet once it had collided.[Reiblood] Finally during Rei and Kate's final battle. King Joe Black ambushed the pair as they were in the middle of a Reionyx Battle. With Rei too beat up from his fight, Kate was forced to fight instead as her Zetton fought King Joe Black in a fierce battle of their own, with neither of them able to best the other with their abilities. Finally once Rei had transformed into "Reimon" and Gomora had transformed into "EX Gomora" both for the first time ever, EX Gomora took on King Joe Black and Zetton together without any trouble, and the monster impaled the robot with his tail, leaving it incapable of fighting any further.

Despite being crippled in battle though, the robot would not give up and while it could no longer separate, it latched onto the ZAP SPACY's Pendragon, attempting to drag them all back down to Boris's surface so that they would die along with it as the artificial sun was mere seconds away from colliding with the planet. Suddenly during the robot's ambush, Ultraman appeared and created an UItra Slash to sever King Joe Black's only arm off. As Ultraman dragged the robot down to Boris to ensure that it didn't escape, the artificial sun finally collided with the planet, destroying King Joe Black in the process.[Planet Escape]

Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey[]

It was revealed that the previous King Joe Black on Boris was but one of many other King Joe Blacks that were mass-produced and deployed by the Alien Pedan to find and hunt down weaker Reibloods throughout the universe. Having landed on Planet Hammer to continue their hunt, one King Joe Black was entrusted to Dail, the "Reionyx Hunter," where it murdered a Telesdon and a Re-Dorako, that had belonged to a Reiblood Alien Zetton and a Reiblood Alien Hook. Later, Dail confronted Rei. Still bitter over not having been able to kill him yet, he unleashed his King Joe Black to kill Rei. Going through with Dail's challenge, Rei summoned Gomora to fight back. However just like their battle on Boris, King Joe Black proved to be as strong as ever as the robot easily withstood everything Gomora threw at it and dished it back at the monster. Dail also commented that with every battle their King Joe Blacks engage in, they constantly get upgraded to continue fighting and getting stronger, making Dail confident that his King Joe Black would win.

Rei however in a shocking display gave a power boost to Gomora, and Gomora himself transformed into Reionic Burst Gomora, this time without going berserk. With more power than before but with a much more calm mind, Reionic Burst Gomora manhandled the King Joe Black with ease, and finally he destroyed the robot with a Super Oscillatory Ray. Elsewhere on Hammer, the Reiblood Alien Keel, Grande was confronted by two Alien Pedan and another King Joe Black. Excited to fight once more, Grande summoned his monster to fight back: Grande's Red King. Unlike Rei's Gomora, Red King proved to be a strong monster without a power boost to help it, and he easily overpowered the King Joe Black until the robot was destroyed by a flying jump-kick, leaving Grande victorious and able to escape from the Alien Pedan.[The New Horizon of War]

Later, an entire army of King Joe Blacks were summoned by their master, Commander Harlen, to subdue Rei and kill the ZAP SPACY. Rei tried his best to fight back against the army of robots with Reionic Burst Gomora, Litra, and Miclas, but despite despite giving everything Rei had, the onslaught from the never-ending King Joe Black army eventually overpowered the monsters, and all three of them were greatly weakened once the army began firing on them with their launchers. As Rei continued to fight though, Dail, (who was barely alive after nearly being executed by Commander Harlen for his failures) managed to fight through his injuries, and despite being shot at by his fellow aliens, Dail got the last laugh as he managed to free the ZAP SPACY from their imprisonment, and they fled back to the Pendragon to regroup while Rei and his monsters continued to hold off the King Joe Black army just long enough for the ZAP SPACY to fire on them with their strongest weapon given to them by Dail: The Pedanium Launcher. Finally with one blast, the King Joe Black army was annihilated, forcing the Alien Pedan to flee Hammer and return to their doomed timeline.[A Warrior's Grave Marker]

Ultraman Zero Side Story: Killer the Beatstar[]

King Joe was one of the many robots that was captured and studied by Beatstar, as part of the life-form's plan to eradicate all organic life in the universe. It was first seen inside Beatstar's artificial celestial planet, where it, Imperializer, and Ace-Killer were sent to attack Rei's Gomora. The three robots managed to work together flawlessly against Gomora, who was quickly overwhelmed in battle until he was forced to retreat back to Rei's Neo Battle Nizer to recover. However, the robots were then confronted by the Ultimate Force Zero and it's members: Mirror Knight, Glenfire, and Ultraman Zero himself. The trio collided with one another, with Zero going up against King Joe. Despite a strange fog that was surrounding the heroes causing them to be drained of their powers, Zero had a much better chance against the robot than Gomora did, and King Joe was destroyed after being sliced in half by his Zero Sluggers.

Later it was revealed that an army of King Joes were mass-produced by Beatstar to act as guards to protect their master's tower. As Zero dealt with Beatstar himself, the King Joe army was confronted by a recovered Gomora and Jean-Bot, who fended them off. Ultimately, the King Joe army (along with the other armies of robots) were all destroyed when Beatstar detonated his planet's artificial sun, obliterating it along with all of them (while the Ultimate Force Zero and their allies escaped).

Ultraman Ginga S[]

King Joe Custom

King Joe Custom

King Joe Custom (キングジョーカスタム, Kingu Jō Kasutamu) was one of the many spark dolls that was in the possession of Exceller and his followers.[4] When Ultraman Victory appeared to fight off a squadron of Chiburoids that had all MonsLived into Imperializers, Bolst the Alien Guts MonsLived into King Joe Custom to deal with the lone ultra himself. Victory managed to fight the robot to a standstill, but with King Joe Custom being assisted by the Imperializer squadron, the ultra was quickly overwhelmed. Before the robot armada could finish him off though, Hikaru transformed into Ultraman Ginga to save Victory, despite Ginga already being injured (before the fight, the ultra was overwhelmed and defeated by a previous battle with the Imperializers).

The second ultra was quickly taken down by King Joe Custom, but thanks to an intervention by UPG attacking the armada with powered-up variations of their blasters, it allowed Ginga to receive a second wind, and using his newly-presented Storium Brace, Ginga was given access to a new form: Ginga Storium. Thanks to the new form's additional abilities from the Space Garrison, Ginga was able to obliterate the Imperializers with a combination of Ultraman Taro's Storium Ray and Ultraman's Specium Ray, leaving King Joe Custom as his only opponent. The revitalized ultra wasted little time in overpowering the robot with Taro's blinding-fast strikes, and King Joe Custom was ultimately destroyed by Ultraseven's Wide Shot. After the fight, Hikaru presented the robot's spark doll to Sho, who would later use its power to create one of the ultra's many Ultlances, with the spark doll taking the form of the robot's cannon, known as the "King Joe Launcher".[Lone Warrior]

Ultraman X[]

King Joe was sent from Planet Pedan to attack the Earth.[5] Appearing in its four ship forms, King Joe landed in Area T6-9 and combined to form its robot form to continue its attack on Earth. Xio quickly arrived on the scene to fend off the robot, but King Joe easily shrugged off their assault, and in the process, shot down Hayato and Wataru in the Musketty, trapping them inside as King Joe closed in on them. Realizing their friends were in trouble, Daichi transformed into Ultraman X, and the Ultra battled with King Joe instead. At first the battle seemed to be at a standstill, but after King Joe took advantage of its ability to separate and reform immediately, Ultraman X was quickly overpowered, even after using both his Zetton Armor and the Xanadium Beam, only for their attacks to miss. At one point, King Joe managed to pin Ultraman X to beat him down, only for its attention to then shift to Asuna when she fired her Ultlaser at the Robot to distract it.

As King Joe prepared to finish Asuna off, Ultraman X got in the way of its blast, taking the damage himself. In doing so however, a new Mechanical Monster appeared on the scene to help Ultraman X against King Joe: Cyber Gomora! Having materialized after Daichi (from inside Ultraman X) had come to an agreement with Gomora after witnessing the Monster's memories, Cyber Gomora now helped Ultraman X in fighting back against King Joe! This time, King Joe was no match for the combined might of Ultraman X and Cyber Gomora, and was ultimately destroyed by a combination of Cyber Gomora's Cyber Super Oscillation Wave, and Ultraman X's Galaxy Cannon (which the Ultra had gained from Ultraman Max previously.)[An Unknown Friend]
