Ultra-Crucifixion?

I just read this article on Sci-Fi Japan about how people in China are boycotting Ultraman and other Japanese shows in favor of domestic Chinese programming.

Hilarious as that is, what's even more hilarious is this picture from that article:

I believe August says Tsuburaya was Catholic, which would explain the crucifixion imagery that is so present in many Ultra shows. I think the planet is actually called Golgotha.
