Aribunta

Aribunta (アリブンタ, Aribunta) is a Terrible-Monster that first appeared in Ultraman Ace.

• Subtitle: Giant Ant Terrible-Monster (大蟻超獣, Dai Ari Chojū)

History[]

Ultraman Ace[]

A Terrible-Monster created by fusing a Space Monster with an ant. Aribunta was raised by Yapool's servant, Guironian, to create an underground fortress below Tokyo. Aribunta created a four-dimensional ant colony to kidnap women with blood type O. It sucked on their blood to grow stronger. Aribunta spews a powerful acid from his mouth, and can release flamethrowers from the spikes on each hand.

Aribunta hid underground, feasting on the blood of women unlucky enough to fall into his ant colony. After Aribunta attacked an underground train, he destroyed TAC’s almighty Duckbill tank sent underground to investigate.

Later, Yuko Minami fell into the colony with Seiji Hokuto and they transformed into Ultraman Ace. Aribunta attacked Ace with its acid spray, but escaped above-ground after being hit with a Metalium Beam. Ace escaped from the colony and followed Aribunta above-ground where Aribunta and Guironian overpower him. However, Zoffy arrived to turn the tide of battle. In the end, Zoffy and Ace rammed Aribunta and Guironian together and killed them both.^{[1][The Giant Ant Terrible-Monster vs The Ultra Brothers]}

Ultra Fight Victory[]

Aribunta attacked Sho and Sakuya as they were visiting the Underground on their day off, swallowing them up into his antlion pit.^[2] After trapping them further underground, Aribunta attempted to kill them, but Sho managed to transform into Ultraman Victory just in time. Victory managed to keep Aribunta away from Sakuya with ease. Unaware to Victory however, his fighting techniques were being documented by Yapool, who had unfinished business to settle with Victory (and Ginga) for his previous defeat against them. Once Yapool had all the data he needed, he appeared and ambushed Sakuya, stealing her Victorium Stone and providing Aribunta with the distraction that the Terrible-Monster needed to gain the advantage over Victory in battle. As the Terrible-Monster bombarded Victory with his flames though, Ultraman Hikari appeared and the blue ultra struck Aribunta with a combination of his Knight Shot and a slash to the chest with his sword, engulfing Aribunta in fire.

Shortly after Ultraman Victory was presented with the Knight Timber and his new "Victory Knight" form by Ultraman Hikari, another Aribunta emerged on the scene to battle the ultras. However, the second Terrible-Monster was no match for Victory Knight's newly acquired powers and was quickly disposed of by Victory Knight's "Knight Victorium Flash" attack.

Ultraman Orb[]

Aribunta was one of the many monster cards that was in the possession of Jugglus Juggler.^[3] After Gai managed to fight off the Alien Nackle "Nagus" and his henchmen, Juggler unleashed Aribunta in an attempt to kill Gai and the SSP with the Super Beast's acidic spray, to combat the beast, Gai transformed into Ultraman Orb. Being a Terrible-Monster though, Aribunta's natural strength allowed it to overpower Orb while the ultra was in his Specium Zepellion Form. Managing to temporarily overpower Aribunta by briefly switching into his Burnmite Form, Orb then transformed into his Hurricane Slash form, turning the battle back to his favor. Finally once Aribunta attempted to flee underground, Orb stopped the beast before it could disturb the tombs that were deep within the Forest (during the SSP and Nagus's conflict, Shin discovers that the forest is actually a burial grounds from a kingdom during the Edo period) and the ultra hurled Aribunta into the air and destroyed the Terrible-Monster with Hurricane Slash's Trident Slash attack.^{[The Forbidden Forest]}

Ultraman R/B[]

Aribunta was one of the many Monster Crystals that was in the possession of Makoto Aizen.^[4] Summoning his Terrible-Monster in Ayaka City, Aribunta immediately went on a rampage, destroying everything in its path until it was confronted by Katsumi and Isami, who immediately transformed into Ultraman Rosso and Ultraman Blu. Despite Rosso doing most of the fighting while Blu was showing off to some nearby excited girls, with Rosso switched to his wind form and Blu switched to his fire form, the Terrible-Monster was no match for the ultraman brother(s) in battle. Finally, Aribunta was destroyed after being struck by Rosso and Blu's Fire Tornado attack (a combination of Rosso's Rosso Cyclone attack and Blu's Pyro attack).^{[The Whole World Is Waiting for Me]}
