Protagonists
[edit]Rei
[edit]Rei (レイ) is a human Reionics, ZAP SPACY's latest member and the main protagonist of Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle and its succeeding series, Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey. He was once a baby that appeared during Bullton's attack on Planet Boris. During the series, he first appeared after being trapped inside the carcass of a Peguila and in amnesiac state, appearing to be hostile towards ZAP SPACY members despite saving their ship, Space Pendragon, twice while only cares about recovering his forgotten background. In the end, after being persuaded by Hyuga, Rei decided to join ZAP SPACY. During his membership within the ZAP SPACY crew, he was haunted by the image of the giant buried in the rock and challenged by a mysterious woman named Kate. At the end of the series, after defeating Kate, he discovered the woman as his older sister and the buried giant is Ultraman, whom asked his help to free him. Rei as well had awakened his true potential as a Reionics, becoming a figure known as Reimon (レイモン). During the second season, Rei participated into the Reionics Battle to determine the successor of Alien Reiblood to conquer the galaxy. Among them was Grande, an Alien Keel whom claimed to be his rival. Unlike the others, Rei on the other hand competed in the battle only to face Alien Reiblood, not wanting to inherit the latter's role as the ruler of the galaxy. In the middle of the series, he also encounter another giant, Ultraseven, which he rescued from Armored Darkness. After facing Alien Reiblood, he was finally brought to Earth for the first time. Sometime later in the movie, having recently finished Zaragas, Rei was spirited by Mebius, as he was predicted to be the chosen one capable of defeating Ultraman Belial. However, during the remaining Ultras' battle against Belial's army, he was corrupted by Belial into joining his legion until ZAP SPACY members awakened him from his senses. Followed by the arrival of Zero and the Leo Brothers, Rei was able to hijack Belial's Giga Battlenizer to ease the Ultra's battle, allowing Zero to finish him.
As a Reionics, Rei's initial monsters in his Battlenizer was Gomora, before he adopted Litra and Eleking during the series' progress. With other Reionics, Rei is subjected to the life-link rule with his monsters, thus would lose his life as well when one of them died in said battle, unless either Rei or his monsters sever their connections to save each other's lives. After Eleking's death by Grande's Tyrant, this caused Rei to succumb to his injuries until Kate upgraded his Battlenizer, allowing him to be on par with Grande's Tyrant. He was temporarily received Miclas by Ultraseven as a gratitude for saving him from the Armored Darkness until his final battle with Alien Reiblood. As Reimon, he is a mysterious alien who looks highly similar to Ultraman. He is the result of a fusion between an Alien Reiblood, and a human, Rei. When placed under extreme stress, he unleashes a Burst Mode (バーストモード, Bāsuto Mōdo), which also affects his Gomora. When in burst mode, his blue markings change to a crimson colour, black markings cross his body, and his eyes turn bright red. In this state, he becomes so powerful that he often loses his ability to tell his friends and enemies apart, but can be calmed back to his normal form with some effort. Reimon's attacks are the Sun Reionicrush (サンレイオニックラッシュ, San Reionikkurasshu) ray and a reviving ray, used to free and revive Ultraman. In the console game Ultra Coliseum, Reimon is capable of summoning a spectral version of himself to fight giant opponents. His finisher in the aforementioned game is Rei-MonsLoad (レイモンスロード, Rei Monsurōdo), summoning EX Gomora to perform EX Super Oscillation Wave.
Rei's personal monsters are:
- Ancient Monster Gomora (古代怪獣 ゴモラ, Kodai Kaijū Gomora, 1-8, 10-13 (MMB); all episodes (Neo)):[2] Rei's primary monster, Gomora is specialized in melee combat, such as the use of flying kick and its tail, Mega-Ton Tail (メガトンテール, Megaton Tēru). Its finisher attack is Super Oscillation Wave (超振動波, Chō Shindō-ha), originally a technique used by its brethren to burrow underground but can be used as a ranged beam attack. Another variation can also be performed, called Zero Shoot (ゼロシュート, Zero Shūto) where Gomora impales the target with its horn and fires the Oscillation Wave at point blank before throwing them aside. Gomora can also evolve through Rei's command in certain situations, but although facing against opponents that possess the combat knowledge of Gomora's evolved forms, said monster itself is still able to defeat them with some effort, either through both his and Rei's continuous combat experience or external forces.
- EX Gomora (EXゴモラ, Ī Ekkusu Gomora):[3] Through Rei's command, Gomora can transform into EX Gomora, an evolved variation of itself. EX Gomora utilizes Tail Spear (テールスピアー, Tēru Supiā) and a stronger attack called EX Super Oscillation Wave (EX超振動波, Ī Ekkusu Chō Shindō-ha).
- Reionic Burst Gomora (レイオニックバーストゴモラ, Reionikku Bāsuto Gomora):[4] When Reimon undergoes a Burst Mode transformation, Gomora would also be affected by this, turning red. This Gomora retains its original attacks but utilizes a more cruel and brutish fighting skills.
- Prehistoric Bird Litra (S) (原始怪鳥 リトラ (S), Genshi Kaichō Ritora (Esu), 2, 4, 6, 7, 10-12 (MMB); 2, 6, 7, 9, 12 (NEO)):[5] Rei's secondary monster, Litra (S) was a native to the Planet Boris and had saved the ZAP SPACY crew from Juran by using the Citronella Acid (シトロネラアシッド, Shitoronera Ashiddo) at the cost of her own life. Rei at that time manages to save her by absorbing her into his Battlenizer and healed her. During the battle, Litra (S) is capable of launching fireballs and utilizes Fire Litra (ファイヤーリトラ, Faiyā Ritora) mode to initiate flame-based attacks.
- Space Monster Eleking (宇宙怪獣 エレキング, Uchū Kaijū Erekingu, 8-12 (MMB); 2, 6, 7 (NEO)):[6] Rei's latest monster, which he acquired after Gomora defeated it in a battle that nearly puts the fate of Planet Boris at stake. Eleking is capable of using electric-based attacks and fights underwater. When needed, Eleking can also turn into a miniature version of itself, called Lim Eleking (リムエレキング, Rimu Erekingu, 9 (Ultra Galaxy)), which was once used to fix the Pendragon's generator. Eleking in the end was killed by Grande's Tyrant, but although the rules of Reionics Battle stated that Rei were supposed to die as well, Eleking managed to sever their connection, saving Rei at the expense of its own life. This act allows Rei to progress further into the Reionics Battle and avenge Eleking's death by having Gomora killing Tyrant.
- Capsule Monster Miclas: See here.
Rei was portrayed by Shota Minami (南 翔太, Minami Shōta).[7][8]
Io Mikura
[edit]Io Mikura (御蔵 イオ, Mikura Io) is the main protagonist of the Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Adventure manga and the Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Monsters arcade game. A young boy who was originally a student of the ZAP SPACY with affinity for monsters, Io's favorite food is chocolate and his shirt has Nexus' Energy Core symbol. He was somehow brought into the past where Planet Boris was still in a good condition and immediately became a Reionics due to picking up a Battlenizer. He has his mother's ATM card, through which he performs an unlikely friendship with Kanegon. His true identity in the story was revealed to be the grandson of Karen Mikura.
In Ultra Monsters, Io's Battlenizer monster is optional to the player's choice, based on their own preference of cards. In Ultra Adventure, Io's Battlenizer includes:
- Ancient Monster Gomora: A monster that Io mainly utilize in the battle. Gomora is portrayed as a prideful monster that usually doesn't get along with Io, but would ascend to the battlefield when needed. In Gomora's battle on Earth, the monster accidentally destroyed the Osaka Castle. Alongside Vittorio's EX Gomora, both monsters can perform a combination attack called Double Super Oscillation Wave (Zero Shoot) (W超振動波(ゼロシュート), Daburu Chō Shindō-ha (Zero Shūto)), used to destroy Reiblood's Deathfacer.
- Friendly Monster Pigmon (友好珍獣 ピグモン, Yūkō Chinjū Pigumon): A monster contained within Io's Battlenizer. It was originally a follower of Alien Reiblood, tricking Io to become a Reionics but defected at the last minute. Pigmon usually ended his sentence with the word "Piiii" and has the ability to detect monsters. In the game series Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Monsters, Pigmon is voiced by Kumiko Nishihara (西原 久美子, Nishihara Kumiko).
- Space Monster Bemular (宇宙怪獣 ベムラー, Uchū Kaijū Bemurā): Originally a monster belonged to an Alien Hipporit, Bemular was adopted by Io as his third Battlenizer monster. Bemular rarely sent into the battle, as its energy sphere form was used by Io as a form of transportation. Bemular sacrificed itself to shield Io's party from being killed by the Reiblood-possessed Deathfacer.
Ai Asama
[edit]Ai Asama (アサマ・アイ, Asama Ai) is the main protagonist of the Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Adventure Neo manga and the Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Monsters Neo arcade game, both succeeding Io Mikura. He was a boy who lives in an alternate universe, which was soon revealed to be the same era of Ultraman Tiga. In a similar case to Io, he was also transported into the past after an incident involving Kyrieloid and Kanegon but instead of becoming a Reionics, he proves to be a better controller in guiding Kanegon's Red King when the latter has trouble over it. He befriended Kanegon in the later story after he was chased by several aliens that try to hunt his Battlenizer. At the end of the manga, he was officially recognized as a Reionics by Io, Vittorio and Kanegon, thus gaining his own Neo Battlenizer.
His mother works as a medical officer in the GUTS Dive Hangar
Kanegon
[edit]Coin Monster Kanegon (コイン怪獣 カネゴン, Koin Kaijū Kanegon) is the supporting protagonist of Ultra Monsters game and manga series. He meets Io and befriended the boy for his possession of an ATM card. He appears as a minor character in the original manga but in the Neo installation, Kanegon runs away from a group of aliens that try to claim his Battlenizer without a payment. He bumped into Ai, where the boy proves to be a better controller of his Battlenizer, something Kanegon gas trouble controlling with. As the story progresses, they discovered that Reiblood was inhabiting their Battlenizer and collected their combat data in order to restore his strength and recreate Kate's Zetton (EX Zetton).
In Ultra Monsters, Kanegon/Ai's Battlenizer monster is optional to the player's choice, based on their own preference of cards. In Ultra Adventure, their Battlenizer includes:
- Skull Monster Red King (どくろ怪獣 レッドキング, Dokuro Kaijū Reddo Kingu): Kanegon/Ai's main monster. This Red King also shows a comical side when Ai forced it to apologize to Ultraman Tiga after an accident. While Red King is stubborn towards Kanegon, it shows a complete cooperation when working for Ai. Most opponents tend to overlook Red King, ending up with several of them in humiliating defeat. Because of its partnering with Ai, Red King displays new attacks, such as Earth Crusher (アースクラッシャー, Āsu Kurasshā) explosions and Volganic Impact (ヴォルガニックインパクト, Voruganikku Inpakuto) drop kick. If fighting in full strength, Red King is strong enough to be on par with Vittorio's EX Gomora.
- Through Ai's sheer will Red King can transform into Reionic Burst Red King (レイオニックバーストレッドキング, Reionikku Bāsuto Reddo Kingu), possessing the ability to release extreme heats and counter opponents with cryokinetic abilities.
- Capsule Monster Agira: Seven's Capsule Monster, which was adopted by Ai in the middle of his journey. It was later returned to Seven, parting ways in good terms.
Kanegon is also a playable character in Ultra Monsters game aside from his role as a navigator. During the launch of a sixth wave trading cards, Kanegon's card allows him to eat the Special Coin (スペシャルコイン, Supesharu Koin). In terms of combat stats, Kanegon has a faster speed and is considerably weaker in brute strength. Kanegon's main attacks are entrapping his opponents in its own cocoon (Kanegon Cocoon (カネゴンの繭, Kanegon no Mayu)), Coin Suction (ガマ口吸引, Gamaguchi Kyūin) and Kanegon Press (カネゴンプレス, Kanegon Puresu).
Ultraman Zero
[edit]Shin Asuka/Ultraman Dyna
[edit]Shin Asuka (アスカ・シン, Asuka Shin) is a former Super GUTS member who transforms into Ultraman Dyna (ウルトラマンダイナ, Urutoraman Daina)[9] in his titular series of the same name.

Finding himself in the middle of conflict against Belial's forces, Asuka first rescued the ZAP SPACY crew before he went to the Monster Graveyard and helped fought against Belial and his armies. He soon assist Ultraman Zero by helping out distracting Beryudora while Zero delivered the finishing blow to Ultraman Belial.[10]
In Ultraman Saga, his popularity as Ultraman Dyna was made public, so much that his exploits were chronicled in the textbook. TPC Mars base were celebrating his 15 years of his sacrifice and during that same time he was transported into another world where Alien Bat kidnapped the Earth's citizens to empower his Hyper Zetton as part of his invasion.[11] Asuka/Dyna sided with Team U, humanity's final line of defense but sacrificed himself by petrifying both him and Dyna to halt Cocoon Hyper Zetton's development. His ejected Reflasher was picked by an orphan Takeru, who used it to revive Dyna to assist Ultraman Cosmos and Zero against Zetton. When Hyper Zetton evolved into Imago, Asuka combined his light with Musashi and Taiga to form Ultraman Saga, putting an end to Alien Bat and his Hyper Zetton, therefore returning the kidnapped humans back to Earth. As he departed, he made his last stop on his teammates and assured them that Taiga is safe before leaving again, knowing that his teammates would catch up to him in one of his travels.

She is also revealed to be Rei's older sister.
Following the death of her Zetton and the destruction of Planet Boris, she was thought to be dead in the final episode.

He is in possession of Neo Battlenizer, which makes him one of the strongest Reionics on Planet Hammer at the time of Rei's arrival. He has a very odd and funny personality, which hides the fact that he is one of the most dangerous and powerful Reionics, and he would have killed Rei in their first battle had not Eleking cut the link between them. In his first battle, he utilized Tyrant and almost killed Rei until Eleking took the blow instead. After Kate upgraded Rei's Battlenizer as well, he was able to strengthen Gomora and finally killed Tyrant, avenging Eleking's death. He soon acquired another monster, Red King, which he used to take down the Reionics Hunters' King Joe Blacks and tried to challenge Rei once more. Despite being defeated, but unlike Grande, Rei spared him and his Red King instead.

First appeared in episode 40 of Ultraman Taro.
- Skull Monster Red King (10, 12, 13 (NEO)):[16] Grande's second monster. Red King itself is capable of fighting King Joe Blacks single-handed.

Antagonists
[edit]Bullton
[edit]Four-Dimensional Monster Bullton (四次元怪獣 ブルトン, Yojigen Kaijū Buruton) was the main antagonist of the first half of Mega Monster Battle, predating Kate herself. Bullton was once a pair of meteorite fragments that studied by the scientists of Planet Boris. When the fragments combine, it took on its true form and summoned countless monsters from multiple dimensions, causing the mass destruction and deaths of many human colonists on the planet, turning it into a barren wasteland and the space time disturbances on the planet which leads to the ZAP SPACY's Pendragon to crash land, therefore setting the course of the series.
Sometime later, Bullton revealed itself to ZAP SPACY and summoned Frogos, Red King, Telesdon and Neronga to confront Rei's monsters and ZAP SPACY members. Using its quick guidance, Rei/Gomora manages to trick Telesdon into destroying Bullton instead.
Bullton itself first appeared in episode 17 of Ultraman. Originally with no sides in the series but as revealed in Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle Complete Works magazine, Bullton's appearance in Planet Boris is due to Alien Reiblood's intervention as part of launching the Reionics Battle.[39]

[edit]Ultimate Lifeform Alien Reiblood (究極生命体 レイブラッド星人, Kyūkyoku Seimei-tai Reiburaddo Seijin, 12, 13 (NEO))[40] was the main antagonist of Never Ending Odyssey. He was said to be an alien that had ruled the galaxy for ten of thousand years. Determining to find a successor to his tyrannic rule, Reiblood spreads his genes across the galaxy and turn several aliens into Reionics, creating the known royal battle as Reionics Battle. He was first mentioned by Kate in Mega Monster Battle, as he indeed was the one whom imprisoned Ultraman in Planet Boris before Reimon freed him and was mentioned by Ultraman Mebius to be responsible for turning Ultraman Belial into Reionics in the past.
Near the end of Never Ending Odyssey, when Rei is about to face him, Reiblood revived Armored Mefilas as his representative to fight Rei/Gomora in a final test. Despite Rei's victory, but he rejected the offer of Reiblood's tyranny and went against him. In order to combat Rei, Alien Reiblood possessed the Armored Darkness and ended up defeated with the help of Grande, Rei's rival.
In Ultra Monsters and Ultra Adventure, 50 years from his final battle with Rei, Reiblood restarted the Reionics Battle in hopes of collecting their powers and added them to his strength. For a moment, he was revealed to have destroyed Yapool's homeworld. He also engineered the awakening of Io as a Reionics by having Pigmon to perform the deed and took on the appearance of Reimon's Burst Mode as a momentary physical representation and in the final battle, he possess Deathfacer to fight Io and Vittorio until he was defeated by their combined strength. Soon, it was revealed that Reiblood inhabited Kanegon's Battlenizer and collected the data of Kanegon/Ai's Red King in hopes of restoring his strength. Once their deed was done, he unveiled himself and inhabited Kate's revived Zetton as a medium but was defeated once more by the young Reionics, with the help of Ultraman and Seven.
As himself, Reiblood possess the ability to spread his gene in outer space, creating beings called Reionics that shared his DNA. He also had several monsters at his disposal, such as:
- Dark Magic Armor Armored Darkness (暗黒魔鎧装 アーマードダークネス, Ankoku Ma Gaisō Āmādo Dākunesu, 9, 12, 13 (NEO); UZF 2):[41] A sentient evil armor created by Alien Empera (see Ultraman Mebius) in the past, Armored Darkness fought Ultraseven and imprisoned him inside its body but moments before, the Ultra Warrior managed to release his Eye Slugger and frozen the sentient armor in place. Its weapon, the Darkness Broad (ダークネスブロード, Dākunesu Burōdo) was separated and picked by Mefilas, luring the alien to free him until he was killed. Armored Darkness engaged in a battle against ZAP SPACY and Rei's monsters until the young Reionics used Seven's Eye Slugger to awaken him, allowing the latter to destroy Armored Darkness from within. Soon, Reiblood revived Armored Darkness and possess the armor as a physical body in a final battle against Rei/Gomora and Grande/Red King. Reiblood/Armored Darkness was defeated after both monsters used their EX evolution forms. In Ultra Zero Fight 2, Ultraman Belial used Armored Darkness as a surrogate body before he possessed Ultraman Zero. Armored Darkness was voiced by Masaharu Satō, whom also Alien Reiblood's voice actor at that time and first appeared in the Ultraman Mebius Gaiden: Armored Darkness.
- Super Combined Monster Grand King (超合体怪獣 グランドキング, Chō Gattai Kaijū Gurando Kingu): Summoned by Reiblood as Reimon Burst Mode, it was used to fight against Io's Gomora and Vittorio's EX Gomora before being defeated by the latter's EX Super Oscillation Wave.

- Organic Saucer Silver Bloome (円盤生物 シルバーブルーメ, Enban Seibutsu Shirubā Burūme): Used by Reiblood to capture every available Reionics and absorb their strength. Before it can capture Vittorio, Io managed to save him and the jellyfish saucer was destroyed by his Gomora.

- Cyber Demon Deathfacer (電脳魔神 デスフェイサー, Den'nō Majin Desufeisā): Originally a man-made invasion weapon called Cyber Large Warship Prometheus (電脳巨艦 プロメテウス, Den'nō Kyokan Purometeusu), the spaceship was stored beneath Planet Boris and was utilized by Reiblood to capture the data of Io's Gomora. Once unveiling itself, Deathfacer proceed to attack Io's party until Bemular sacrificed itself. Deathfacer was used as a medium by Reiblood to fight against Gomora and EX Gomora but was defeated due to the lack of EX Gomora's data and scrapped by the Double Super Oscilatory Wave (Zero Shoot). In the Ultra Monsters arcade game, the scenario was altered where Vittorio shielded the party instead and falls into exhaustion, causing Io to use both his and the former's Battlenizer to perform Double Monsload. Deathfacer's main weapons are Death Scissor Ray (デスシザーレイ, Desu Shizā Rei) from its right hand pincher Death Scissors (デスシザース, Desu Shizāsu), Automated Gatling Gun (ガトリングガン連射, Gatoringugan Rensha) on its left hand and its strongest weapon, Neo Maxima Cannon (ネオマキシマ砲, Neo Makishima Hō) unveiled from its chest.
- Space Dinosaur EX Zetton (宇宙恐竜 EXゼットン, Uchū Kyōryū Ī Ekkusu Zetton): Created from Kate's Zetton DNA, Reiblood reveals himself from Kanegon's Battlenizer and brings out EX Zetton. In this form, Reiblood overpowers his oppositions, the Space Alliance Army and proceed to fight against the young Reionics. Both Reiblood and EX Zetton was defeated after Seven and Ultraman interfere the battle, where the former performs Ultra Physic to stall the monster first, giving Red King and Gomora a chance to counterattack. EX Zetton's main attacks is Trillion Meteor (トリリオンメテオ, Toririon Meteo) fireball, evaporating even the strongest monsters in mere seconds while shielding itself via Zetton Shutter (ゼットンシャッター, Zetton Shattā) energy barrier.
Alien Reiblood was voiced by Masaharu Satō (佐藤 正治, Satō Masaharu)[8] in the original series and game installments. Meanwhile, in Ultra Galaxy The Movie, he was voiced by professional wrestler Masahiro Chono (蝶野 正洋, Chōno Masahiro).[42]
Space Alliance Army
[edit]From Ultra Adventure Neo, the Space Alliance Army (宇宙連合軍, Uchū Rengō-gun) were formed by several past Ultra Monsters, aliens and Terrible-Monsters that try to oppose Reiblood's revival and hunt any available Reionics. The army try to fight against Reiblood/EX Zetton but was defeated and had their soul ascended to the Monster Graveyard.
- Inferno Alien Alien Hipporit (地獄星人 ヒッポリト星人, Jigoku Seijin Hipporito Seijin): One of the group's leaders alongside Yapool. Hipporit tried to face EX Zetton/Reiblood on a one-on-one duel, petrifying the monster in his Hipporit Tar (ヒッポリトタール, Hipporito Tāru) but was forced to retreat. He soon commanded the entire Space Alien Army in an all-out attack against the monsters but none of the participants survived the attack.
- Extradimensional Beings Yapool (異次元人 ヤプール, Ijigen-jin Yapūru): A group of different dimension aliens whose homeworld was destroyed by Reiblood. In the original volume, Yapool collaborates with Alien Nackle to steal Io's Battlenizer in hopes of studying its functions, sending Ace Killer and a troop of Terrible-Monster Army (超獣軍団, Chōjū Gundan) but the army was eliminated by a rampaging EX Tyrant. In Neo, Yapool assumed the form of Extradimensional Terrible-Being Giant Yapool (異次元超人 巨大ヤプール, Ijigen Chōjin Kyodai Yapūru), shifting his focus to Kanegon's Battlenizer before he retreated. Alongside Alien Hipporit, they commanded the Space Alliance Army in an all-out attack against Reiblood/EX Zetton but failed.
Reionics Hunters
[edit]The Reionics Hunters (レイオニクスハンター, Reionikusu Hantā) are a troop of time travelling Alien Pedan (ペダン星人, Pedan Seijin) and one of the antagonists of Never Ending Odyssey. Fifty years into the future, after the victor of the Reionics Battle was determined, Planet Pedan was among the planets that affected and destroyed. Wanting to prevent the dystopian future's existence, the troop travel into the past, where the Reionics Battle is still in motion and eliminated every beings with Reionics genes. Dail, an ace member of the Reionics Hunter, sparked an interest on Rei, a Reionics that choose to defy Alien Reiblood's orders and wishes for his commander's approval for Rei to join them but instead, things went horribly wrong when Harlan tried to use the Reionics for invasion, choosing not to prevent their dystopian future instead. Eventually, Dail defected to the ZAP SPACY and helped them in their final battle against the Reionics Hunters' army. In the end, with most King Joe Black army destroyed and their commander Harlan died, the troop returned to the future.
Because of Reiblood's destruction in the past prevented their homeworld's fall, the group cease to exist 50 years later in Ultra Monsters game and Ultra Adventure. In the aforementioned manga, the Alien Pedan led by Dorothy are portrayed as aliens with huge pride of scientific research, declaring war against Alien Nackle. They are also shown to be less hostile and in fact sought Io's cooperation due to the boy's possession of Battlenizer in exchange for his return to Earth, but eventually massacred by Nackle and Yapool's EX Tyrant.

Her initial goal is to ensure the survival of the Alien Pedan in the future, however, when Rei wanted to join them and Dail seeking her approval, Harlan instead ordered the capture of all Reionics to be brainwashed as their invasion army. With Rei and ZAP SPACY refused her ordered, she launched a mass-produced army of King Joe Black on them and was finally killed when King Joe Scarlet toppled down on her.

However, when targeting Rei, his teleportation bracelet was cut off and stranded with the ZAP SPACY, forcing to become their member until their arrival on Planet Hammer. During his time with the group, he contributed the Alien Pedan technology, the Pedanium Launcher (the same weapon used by King Joe Black) to their Pendragon, much to Kumano's dismay. He sparked an interest on Rei when the youth wanted to defy Alien Reiblood instead of winning the Reionics Battle and seek Harlan's approval to have Rei recruited to their side but shocked and betrayed when his leader instead planned to use the captured Reionics as her invasion army. In his final act, Dail managed to rescue the captured ZAP SPACY for them to assist Rei before dying. His funeral was made by the ZAP SPACY. Dail was portrayed by Kosei Kato (加藤 厚成, Katō Kōsei),[8] whom previously portrayed Mitsuhiko Ishibori/Dark Zagi in Ultraman Nexus.

A single rogue unit appeared in Mega Monster Battle, predating the Reionics Hunters' arrival in the next series and terrorized in Planet Boris, even to the point of attacking ZAP SPACY forces. This unit was finally killed by the newly awakened EX Gomora, but in the succeeding series, EX Gomora's combat data was captured by that King Joe and sent to the Reionics Hunters for them to develop stronger units. One was used by Dail in a test to see if Rei can achieve his trust, which the latter manages to success but unfortunately, the power-drunk Harlan sent a large fleet of King Joe Blacks in a final battle against ZAP SPACY forces.

Eventually, unable to keep up with Gomora's strength, Zarab flees in humiliation.
He reappeared again in Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy, having salvaged the Giga Battlenizer and released Ultraman Belial in hopes of gaining him as an ally to conquer the universe. However, Belial instead betrayed Zarab and killed him.
Alien Zarab/Imit-Ultraman was voiced by Takeshi Aono (青野 武, Aono Takeshi), whom reprises his role since the first Ultra Series, Ultraman (1966) in episode 18.[8]
Ultraman Belial
[edit]Ultraman Belial (ウルトラマンベリアル, Urutoraman Beriaru) is the fallen Ultra Warrior who serves as the main antagonist of Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy, Ultraman Zero: The Revenge of Belial, Ultra Zero Fight and Ultraman Geed. Originally a member of the Inter-Galactic Defense Force and a friend of Father of Ultra (Ultraman Ken), the two were participants of Ultimate Wars but Belial was banished from the Land of Light after his jealousy towards Ken implored him to touch the Plasma Spark. He is converted into a Reionics by Alien Reiblood and is imprisoned by Ultraman King after his attempt at instigating a war against his former home world failed.[45][46][47][48]
Years later, he is freed by an Alien Zarab and successfully steals the Plasma Spark, allowing him to resurrect the fallen spirits in the Monster Graveyard as his thrall while the Land of Light gets reduced to a freezing wasteland.[c] He fought the survivors of said planet (Ultraman, Ultraseven and Mebius), Ultraman Dyna, and briefly corrupted Rei to his side had it not for ZAP Spacy's intervention. The arrival of Ultraman Zero turns the tides of the battle to the resistants' favor and managed to defeat Belial even when he resorted to form Belyudra.[48]
Belial nevertheless survived the fight and establishes his rule in another dimension under the Belial Galactic Empire banner, adopting the moniker Galactic Emperor Kaiser Belial (銀河皇帝 カイザーベリアル, Ginga Kōtei Kaizā Beriaru). His attempt at once again starting a war against his former people draw Zero's attention to him, resulting in a series of events where he is finally killed by the young Ultra. His spirit would later on ended up in the Monster Graveyard, possessing the Armored Darkness as a temporary body before he moves on to Zero, intending to monopolize the young Ultra's power until he was successfully expelled.[50] Zero's attempt to undo the damages made by Belial and the Darkness Five unintentionally resurrected the dark Ultra to his physical form. This allows Belial to recuperate his strength until the events of Ultraman Geed, eventually meeting his death at the hands of Geed himself.
In his current form, Belial usually relies upon the use of brute strength and his Giga Battle Nizer (ギガバトルナイザー, Giga Batoru Naizā) which he uses to subjugate monsters to fight for him. His main finisher is Deathcium Beam (デスシウム光線, Desushiumu Kōsen).[48] As Kaiser Belial, he puts on the Belial Mantle (ベリアルマント, Beriaru Manto) and relies on his Kaiser Belial Claws (カイザーベリアルクロー, Kaizā Beriaru Kurō) as melee weapons and mind-control powers. His other forms include:
- Early Style (アーリースタイル, Ārī Sutairu):[51][52] Belial's pre-corruption form, whose appearance is simply that of a normal Ultra Warrior with a silver body and red linings. Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy establishes that he also retains most of the abilities he has from his future corrupted form.
- Great Galactic Emperor Arch Belial (超銀河大帝 アークベリアル, Chō Ginga Taitei Āku Beriaru): A form Belial assumed in the movie Revenge of Belial, after absorbing all of the emeralds he stole from Planet Esmeralda to become a 300 meter tall reptilian monster. In this form, Arch Belial is able to drain the energy of his captured opponents and launched his strongest attack, the Arc Deathcium Beam (アークデスシウム光線, Āku Desushiumu Kōsen), which nearly killed Planet Esmeralda until the revived Ultraman Zero acquired Noa's Ultimate Aegis and used it to defeat Arch Belial.
- Dark Great Emperor Kaiser Darkness (暗黒大皇帝カイザーダークネス, Ankoku Dai Kōtei Kaizā Dākunesu): Appeared in Ultra Zero Fight 2, the vengeful spirit of Ultraman Belial possessed the Armored Darkness as his own.[50]
- Zero Darkness (ゼロダークネス, Zero Dākunesu):[53][54] Shortly after Zero stabbed Kaiser Darkness, Belial's essence possess Zero and took his rival's body as his own. With Belial in control of Zero's body, he wields a pair of Dark Zero Sluggers (ダークゼロスラッガー, Dāku Zero Suraggā) and is capable of channeling twisted versions of his adversary's powers, such as Deathcium Shot (デスシウムショット, Desushiumu Shotto), Dark Zero Flash (ダークゼロフラッシュ, Dāku Zero Furasshu) and Dark Zero Twin Shoot (ダークゼロツインシュート, Dāku Zero Tsuin Shūto), having used them to murder the entire Ultimate Force Zero. With victory in his grasp, he was about to lead the Darkness Five in a conquest to rule the galaxy until Zero expelled Belial with Shining Ultraman Zero.[50]
In Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy and Revenge of Belial, Ultraman Belial is voiced by comedian Hiroyuki Miyasako (宮迫 博之, Miyasako Hiroyuki) of the manzai duo Ameagari Kesshitai.[55][56][57] Starting from Ultra Zero Fight 2 and onwards, he is voiced by Yūki Ono (小野 友樹, Ono Yūki).[50][58] In the 2013 crossover game HEROES VS., Belial is voiced by Masaya Takatsuka (高塚正也, Takatsuka Masaya).[59][60][d] In the drama CD Ultra Kaijoshi, Belial is voiced by Keiji Fujiwara (藤原 啓治, Fujiwara Keiji), who is also the narrator of the story.[62]
Belial Army
[edit]The Belial Army (ベリアル軍団, Beriaru Gundan) is an army that appeared in Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy. Its members were Ultraman Belial's 100 Battlenizer monsters held within his Giga Battlenizers. This army first made their participation in Belial Revolt during his early days attacking the Land of Light before he was imprisoned by Ultraman King. Soon, it was rebuilt by reviving several monsters in the Monster Graveyard and launched them against the resistance of his campaign. The entire army were eliminated by the resistance forces, both Ultra Warriors and ZAP SPACY.
Belyudra
[edit]100 Figure Monster Belyudra (百体怪獣 ベリュドラ, Hyakutai Kaijū Beryudora)[63][64] is a fusion created by merging the residents of the Monster Graveyard into a gigantic monster that forms an exo-armor around Belial, who serves as its brain. While Belyudra appeared to be powerful, Belial loses control of the monsters composing it when Rei channels his Reionics powers through Giga Battlenizer to affect them. This resulted in Belyudra being defeated by the Ultramen and exploding after Zero dealt a mortal injury to Belial. Belyudra's finisher is Belyudra Inferno (ベリュドラインフェルノ, Beryudora Inferuno), which creates a rain of fire.[63][64][65][66]
The list below refers to the monster parts of Belyudra that are confirmed by the Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Super Complete Works.[67] Despite its title as a "100 Figure Monster", the total identified monsters below are 226 and as confirmed by the aforementioned magazine; the actual number is, in fact, unknown, since several of them also make up its internal parts.[64]

Debuting in episode 46 of Ultraseven, these aliens previously attempted in an invasion by using a mechanical knockoff of Ultraseven before the real giant thwarted their plan. Stationing on Planet Chain, they created countless mechanical copies of the Ultra Brothers (save Taro and Mebius) in an attempt to invade the galaxy with the help of Darklops Zero, a prototype of Belial's Darklops army. Their first resistance appeared in the form of alternate reality versions of ZAP SPACY and the prime reality Ultraman Zero, before the prime reality Hyuga and Rei appeared to assist them. Having stole the alternate Reimon's Battlenizer, they used it in the creation of Mecha Gomora as an addition to their forces.

He focuses himself on creating his ultimate monster, Zetton and even with this monster at its first stage, it was capable of decimating Ultraman Dyna (the first Ultra to face him via Arstron) within moments, rendering the Ultra petrified. With Cosmos and Zero arrived, Alien Bat unleashed both Gomess (S) and Gubila but when Cosmos pacify them instead, Alien Bat killed them cold-blooded.
