Speaking of the Otter cape, I think everyone is not unfamiliar, but when it comes to the role of the Otter cape, some people may still not understand it. In the Ultraman series, not every Ultraman has a cape, and the Otter warriors who have a cape are not necessarily imposed over time.
Early Showa series of Otter warriors, such as the Six Otter brothers, also had their own capes. So, some people asked, is it true that Lao Ao will automatically wear a cape? Of course not. For example, the earlier Grey Ultraman, Parvat Ultraman, Diga, Gaia and others in the Heisei era did not have a cape, but Aguju Ultraman also had his own cape, which was still black, and the temperament was very different from other Otter warriors.
So, what are the functions of the Otter cape? Is it a symbol of strength, or is it exclusive to the king?
Let's first look at the first question, is the Otter cloak the exclusive of the king? In the Land of Light, it seems that those ultramans with higher generations and older seniority have cloaks, such as the father of Otter, the mother of Otter, and the six brothers of Otter. But this does not mean that the Otter cloak is the exclusive of the king, although the king of Otter and others also have a cape, but there are some kings who still have a king style even if they do not have a cape, such as Noah Ultraman, Regeddo Ultraman and so on.
Well, the next question, the controversy is a bit big. Is the Otter cloak a symbol of strength? Some people think that, such as the king of Otter, the father of Otter, and so on, because of the strength of the cloak. Some people think that it is not, because the Otter warriors with cloaks cannot be considered to be very powerful, such as the Emperor Ged Ultraman Form, Eddie Ultraman and others, who also have cloaks, but this does not mean that they are very powerful, And Saiga Ultraman and others are much stronger than them, and they do not have a cape.
Moreover, if the Otter cloak is a symbol of strength, then when fighting, you should always wear the cloak to show that you have strength. Often in battle, Ultraman will take the lead in taking off his cloak. It can be seen that the cloak and strength cannot be directly equated.
Some cloaks are not only cloaks, but also weapons, such as the most typical, leo ultraman.
Leo Ultraman's cloak is a "god" given by the King of Otter, and is usually worn on the arm. In the course of the battle, you can take it off and turn it into a variety of weapons to increase your combat power index. This function, among the many Ultraman warriors, can be said to be relatively cutting-edge.
So, can we think that the Otter cloak is worn casually? Nor is it. If ultramans casually put on their capes, it would feel weird, like Telica: Bring me one!
Although it is a bit of a king's style, in the battle with the Dark Tricolons, if Triga Ultraman wears a cape, then the battle will be flavored and very graphic.
Therefore, the Otter cloak cannot be considered a symbol of strength, nor can it be simply considered to be the exclusive of the king, depending on the needs of the battle.
