History[]
Ultraman[]
Seabozu was once a living Monster until it had died on another planet of unknown causes. Since then it had became a denizen of the Ultra Zone known as the Monster Graveyard.[2] One day though, the monster had been picked up by a Lunar Rocket, where Seabozu was soon dragged to Earth by both it and its own weight, where Seabozu remained trapped. Lost, scared, and lonely, Seabozu tried fruitlessly to try and find its way back home, even climbing the tallest building in the city it was in to do so. However, the structure was not high enough, and Seabozu came crashing down to Earth when it launched itself from it, causing the Monster to wander away, both hurt and saddened even more. During the fiasco, the Science Patrol had observed the Monster's behavior, and although the felt rather sad for it, Seabozu was still considered a threat to them, and after reconfronting it in an open field, they attacked it without reason. Like they did in the city though, Seabozu didn't put up a fight against the team and was only frightened and hurt by their assault, forcing the Science Patrol to realize that the Monster was not truly evil, just homesick.
Working together with the Space Center whose rocket accidentally dragged Seabozu back to Earth, one plan went into effect as Seabozu was forcefully dragged by the Science Patrol with Suspension cables gouged into the Monster's hands and it was tied around one of the Space Center's rockets to prevent him from running away. At first the plan seemed to be a success, but the frightened Seabozu clumsily destroyed the rocket mere moments before it could be launched, once again leaving the Monster stranded. Interpreting the Monster panic as an attack, Hayata transformed into Ultraman, intending to beat Seabozu into submission and carry the unconscious Monster back into Space with him. Just before he could do so though, the Ultra ran out of energy, and thus Seabozu was abandoned by him in mid-flight.
Sometime later, the Science Patrol again tried to wrangle Seabozu to tie him to another rocket, but the Monster caught on this time and managed to knock down Hataya's VTOL. Luckily, Hayata transformed into Ultraman once more to tangle with the Monster, but after a short tussle, Ultraman tried to guide Seabozu towards the newly crafted Rocket to lead him home. Seabozu however was too stubborn to listen, fearing Ultraman would attack him again. Thus, Ultraman had to gruffly force Seabozu to listen to him, attacking him several times to do so. It took a while, but eventually Seabozu was forced into holding onto the new rocket. As Ultraman took off, the Science Patrol launched the rocket and this time, Seabozu held on as it was launched back into Space. Seabozu had now returned home, happily at peace.[1][The Monster Graveyard]
