What does Zoffie mean by the plan to destroy Ultraman?

This is a famous line in the translated version of "The Return of Ultraman" (Ultraman Jack). In the finale, Ultraman Jack's human body Hideki Go and the monster he controls The Baxters of Zeton II had a tense confrontation before the decisive battle, and the following dialogue occurred -

[The Baxters (satisfied): Okay, we have to get rid of Ultraman as planned La! Hahahaha...

Hideki Go (question): What is the plan to get rid of Ultraman? !

Bathman (satisfied): I can tell you that the plan to eliminate Ultraman was made by Zoffie. We must kill Ultraman and his brothers, hahahaha...]

Zofi is the eldest brother of the Ultra brothers. In the translated version, the voice actor of Star Baxter insists that the plan to eliminate Ultraman was made by Zofi, which is really dumbfounding. In fact, this is completely a translation error. In the original Japanese version, Baxter's words roughly mean "The plan to eliminate Ultraman is to start with Zoffie and kill the Ultra brothers one by one." The upper translation version has the exact meaning. Such a contradictory sentence really makes people laugh. But this alone is not enough to turn this sentence into a famous meme. The more important reason is that Zoffie, as the eldest brother of the Ultra Brothers, does not have his own special work and can only make guest appearances in other Ultraman dramas. Since it is difficult to get a high-profile portrayal if he is not the protagonist, coupled with the bugs in the Ultraman plot in the early years, the filming of gangsters, etc., even though Zoffie's official setting is outstanding, the setting is seriously inconsistent with the performance in the play. He was embarrassed and defeated in many works ("Captain Yantou", "The Invincible Zoffie Falls"...), which caused ridicule and pranks from many netizens. Therefore, the originally mistranslated line "The plan to eliminate Ultraman was decided by Zoffie" was also parodied by netizens, who came up with a whole set of Zoffie conspiracy theories, such as "Zoffie planned to eliminate Ultraman in order to advance Plan and deliberately lose to the monster" and so on, which is even more grassy.

In addition, there are two lines that have also been parodied a lot. One is the finale of the Sharp Vision version of "Ultraman", when Zoffie comes to the earth to rescue the original Ultraman who was defeated by Jeton. ——

[Zoffi: Cosmic Superman, open your eyes, I am Shafrin, a member of the cosmic guard of the M78 Nebula. Come back with me, Cosmic Superman. ]

In fact, "Shafulin" is another transliteration of Zuofi, which is not a big mistake strictly speaking (of course it is not appropriate after Zuofi has become a common translation), but Coupled with the Chinese dubbing that has a slightly villainous flavor in the Sharp Vision version, it always gives people a suspicious and even evil feeling. So "Shafrin" became a spoof of Zoffie's name.

The other one is in the relatively new "Super Zero Fighting", Ultraman Zero defeated the comeback of Star Baxter, who left one last harsh words before being completely wiped out——

[Baxter Star: That adult will definitely treat you ahhhh——]

The "that adult" in the Baxter Star population here actually refers to the villain Beria, but because the famous line "The plan to eliminate Ultraman was decided by Zoffie" from Star Baxter was too impressive, so netizens joked that Zoffie was the one who couldn't even mention his real name, "Then "Sir", combined with the translation of "Shafulin", a spoof title like "Sir Shafulin" appeared, which is particularly crude.

Of course, it must be noted that the above spoofs are all the product of netizens' imaginations and cannot be taken seriously. The official setting is that Zoffie is a righteous Ultra warrior, and there is no evil "Lord Shafrin" , some fans of the Ultraman series are also disgusted with the excessive spoofing of Zoffie, so the jokes should be moderate. In addition, there are actually similar memes in Japan. When a Japanese magazine introduced Zofi in the early years, they confused Zofi with the villain Zeton in the finale of "Ultraman", so they seriously introduced that Zofi was the one who brought him. The monster Zeton is as dumbfounding as the translated version of "The plan to destroy Ultraman was made by Zoffie".

Perhaps influenced by this old joke, in "Ultraman New", Zoffie was worried that humans would be transformed into giant weapons that would threaten the peace of the universe, so he really brought the celestial suppression weapon Jayton with the intention of destroying the earth and Ultraman protects the people on earth, so many netizens joked that the Baxters did not lie and that the plan to eliminate Ultraman was indeed planned by Zofi. However, it still needs to be pointed out that many settings of the "New Ultraman" movie are different from those of the Ultraman series. Therefore, it is a joke and it is not appropriate to confuse the settings and characters of different works.
