Do you remember an animated film called Jonyas Ultraman, a cartoon released by Marutani Corporation in April 1979 and the first animated film in the Ultraman series? After the early end of Jonas Ultraman's cartoons, he was almost only active on stage, and jognas was rarely seen in the live-action Ultraman series.
Early image of Jonyas
Jonias did not come from the M78 Nebula, but from the planet U40, which resembles an ancient Greek city, and he is the second Ultraman to come from another planet after Leo Ultraman (Leo is from the L77 Nebula); compared to the Ultramans of M78, the inhabitants of U40 are almost no different from humans, and they need to use the special device "Ultra Star" to transform into Ultraman. And after the transformation, not everyone can be huge, and there are only eight ultramans (including Jonyas) who can be huge.
This is the earliest image of Jonyas, the face shape is a V-shaped face, the head as a whole is oval in width and tip, the top of the head has a cross-shaped ultraman-like hair, plus the overall design of his brow bone and nose bridge is very unique compared with the previous Ultraman.
Animated version of Jonyas
This is Joñas's first real human leather case in 79 years, although the overall comparison with the anime has some flaws, but for the face shape he is also relatively restored, mainly because the muscles in the anime at that time according to the technology of making the holster at that time is difficult to restore, but this version of the holster seems to be without design eye holes and mouth breathing gaps, it is likely to be used only on the cover of the toy periphery.

In the 80s, Jonias's live-action holster was officially unveiled in the "Zofi Ultraman Theater Edition: Otter Warrior VS Monster Legion", but unfortunately the actual effect of the holster was not much restored, compared with the 80s In the anime, Jonyas looked very bloated and his eyes were not as sharp as in the animation.

This is the "Ultraman New Century Legend" commemorative short film in 2001 in the shape, the body is red and silver as the main color, I feel that in addition to the leather jacket of this head body part is still very good-looking, and the manufacturing technology of the leather jacket at that time has been very mature, so the leather jacket manufactured very close body is no longer bloated, but this head is still still how big and the shape of the cross on the top of the head is not too obvious, the eyes are still not very sharp or even a little dull, the blueprint of this shape has also been applied to the Taiga Ultraman period.
Jonas Ultraman (2001)
This is the holster that debuted around 16 years, this shape has also been active in various stage plays, according to the eyes of this holster should be newly made, personally feel that this version is the best one, this version is more than the 2001 version of the image of Jonyas in the cartoon.

The latest version of the holster compared to the first three old Jognas holster is a rebirth, more eye-catching, the fabric of this version of the holster is no longer the previous wetsuit transformation, but used to restore the animation effect of the Lycra fabric, the color of the body from red silver also changed to red and silver white, on this head Round Valley is also redesigned (although a little plastic but still restore the original shape), the design of the eyes also returns to the kind of hanging eye in the cartoon, and in the timer part, Round Valley also replaced a timer similar to Titus Ultraman, also from the U40 planet (previous versions of the timer did not emit light), and this version of Jognas will appear in the huge conspiracy of the second season of Ott Galaxy Fighting and fight against the black hand behind the scenes, Absolut Tartaros.
