ultra beam

A signature move from the Ultra Series franchise. All Ultramen can perform an Ultra Beam, but the execution and pose may differ between them. An Ultra Beam is most commonly performed by forming a cross-shape or an L-shape with your arms and firing a beam from your upright arm.

It is believed that the reason why some Ultra Beams have a cross-shape position is due to the fact that Tsuburaya Eiji, the creator of the Ultra Series, converted to Roman Catholicism, and he borrowed Christian elements to be used as ideas for his works.
