The Eye Slugger (アイスラッガー Ai Suraggā) is the signature space boomerang weapon of Ultraseven. The crest on Ultraseven's head that can be detached and used as a projectile weapon. It is Seven's most well-known weapon, and possibly the most famous of all Ultra items, as well as being one of the most iconic and inspiring items to come from the Ultraman Series.

The Eye Slugger has served as the basis for numerous similar weapons used by other Ultras - these include Seven 21's Vezard, and Zero's Zero Sluggers, both of which serve the same function as the original Eye Slugger.

Ultraman Orb also has an exact copy of the Eye Slugger when he uses his Emerium Slugger form, as part of the assets from Ultraseven's Ultra Fusion Card. Ultraman Geed uses the Geed Slugger, derived from the Eye Slugger when he uses his Solid Burning form, as part of the assets from Ultraseven's Ultra Capsule.

Trivia

It has been incorrectly referred to as an "Ice Lugger" by various sources.

In the Heisei Ultraseven series, Seven's Eye Slugger was broken on the top at the end of an episode. This was because he repeatedly struck King Joe's hard Pedanium body in the same spot until the robot was defeated by his Ultra Knock Tactics technique. However, in the next episode, it appeared back to normal.
