Protagonists

Daigo Madoka

Shin Asuka

Shin Asuka (アスカ・シン, Asuka Shin)^[1] is the main protagonist of Ultraman Dyna and is Ultraman Dyna's human host. Aged 22 years old in the series, he is light-hearted overall, and is one of the rare Ultra human hosts who also serves as the comic relief of the main cast. Asuka often whines and pouts immaturely, and sometimes pretends to be killed in combat just to see his teammates freak out. Despite his immature outlook, he can also be headstrong and overly courageous, fending off aliens far stronger than normal humans with only his hand-to-hand combat skills. His well-known motto is "Never give up", stemming from his character development as his series progresses. Using the Reflasher (リーフラッシャー, Rīfurasshā), he transforms into Ultraman Dyna by raising the object in mid-air.^[2]

During his childhood, Asuka's dad disappeared years ago when his space ship disappeared into a mysterious light. He spent his teenage years in high school as a baseball player and later on worked as a TPC maintenance crew in The Final Odyssey, saluting Daigo, who in fact his own predecessor. After enlisting himself as a ZERO Training student, he was accepted into the Super GUTS for being able to score high marks during their entry examination and saving Ryo from the Sphias by sacrificing his own GUTS Wing. During that time, he came in contact with Dyna's light and while fighting Darambia on Mars, this introduced Dyna for the first time. Although hesitating to use it again, he was able to overcome it quickly, embracing his duty as an Ultra Warrior like Daigo and fight against multiple monster and alien threats. In the three-part final episode, his identity as Ultraman Dyna was leaked and kidnapped by the Black Buster Squad to awaken the artificial Ultraman Terranoid, which eventually went rogue from Sphia's takeover. His kidnapper Gondo redeemed himself by sacrificing his life to replenish Dyna's energy and defeated Zelganoid but Asuka collapsed from his injuries and was taken care by his predecessor, Daigo before Ryo picked him again. When Super GUTS unleashed a full campaign against Gransphia, he saved Ryo as Dyna from being held hostage by Neo Gaigareid but during this point that his identity made known to his teammates. Despite Gransphia defeated by Super GUTS and Dyna's combined tactics, the battle came at a high price, forcefully dragging both Asuka and Dyna into a wormhole. While presumed dead, he was actually reunited with his long lost father and the two fly towards the space-time continuum.

Eleven years after Ultraman Dyna ended, which took place in the setting of Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy, the wormhole that Asuka went in ended up transported to the Nebula M78 Space from the Showa era. 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.^[3] In Ultraman Saga, his popularity as Ultraman Dyna was made public, so much that his stories and identity was published 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.^[4] 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.

Shin Asuka is portrayed by Takeshi Tsuruno (つるの 剛士, Tsuruno Takeshi) and Shunji Matsuzaki (松崎 駿司, Matsuzaki Shunji) in his childhood. Tsuruno is a fan of Ultraman 80, watching the series in his childhood and was once mistaken that said Ultraman would appear in Superior Ultraman 8 Brothers before Hiroshi Nagano corrected him. The original concept behind Shin Asuka is to have him as a baseball player but this was less focused due to Tsuruno having intermediate experience as a baseball player. His acting as Asuka left a huge impression to his eldest son, who has a habit of saying that his father's job is an Ultraman whenever people asked about it.^[5] While acting as Asuka, Tsuruno was reminded to portray himself as a teenager growing up. The props used to portray Asuka, such as his Super GUTS uniform and Reflasher was nicely preserved under Tsuruno's own request, having expected to reprise his character in later years. Since Ultraman Dyna is a show that focuses on space, this left an inspiration to Tsuruno for his interest for astronomy.^[6]

Ultra Warriors

Super Ancient Civilization

Unlike Showa Era Ultras, who were mostly from Nebula M78, Tiga's series mainly focuses on Ultra Warriors whose origin is from the Super Ancient Civilization (超古代文明, Chō Kodai Bunmei) of 30 million years prior.

A long time ago, this civilization was known for being a utopia, until the arrival of dark forces, which came in the form of rampaging monsters appeared and spreads fear towards its civilians. Then the light appeared to the cities' people, bestowed its power to selected warriors to fight against the darkness and restoring peace. However, as more warriors were turned into giants of light, a power struggle arose which split them into two factions. Soon, a civil war started between these two factions and as a result, several combatants corrupted after embracing the darkness, therefore destroying the very same civilization they lived on. One after another, the ancient civilization started to fall.

One of the strongest Dark Giants was Tiga Dark, but he switched sides after falling in love with Yuzare and sealed himself and his own companions within R'lyeh. In aftermath of the battle, leftover giants who survived the civil war were left to protect the Earth but when humanity fell under the influence of Gijera, the giants were unable to do anything and left due to their inability to interfere with humanity's decision. This gave the great darkness to appear and strike the ancient civilization. The ancient giants left behind their Ultra DNA and powers (stone statues) for future generations to use in hope of the same incident that befall their civilization would not happen again in the future.^[33]

In The Final Odyssey, the remains of fallen combatants in R'lyeh donated their light to resurrect the defeated Ultraman Tiga as Glitter Tiga, therefore placing an end to both Demonzour and the dark influences from their civilization.

The Land of Tiga Pyramid

The Land of Tiga Pyramid (ティガの地のピラミッド, Tiga no Ji no Piramido)^[34] was an ancient golden pyramid which serves as a final resting place for Ultraman Tiga and his two other companions before they left behind their stone bodies and left the Earth. As revealed in Ultraman Tiga Gaiden, this pyramid was situated near the Sakimori Village (which was later renamed as "the Land of Tiga" (ティガの地, Tiga no Ji)), allowing Tiga's power to be utilized by Tsubasa and later Amui via a bronze Spark Lence when the ancient sorcerer threaten the peace of their village. Said pyramid at that time was heavily disguised as a mountain while Jomonoid tried to destroy it. In the present day, (which took place in the first episode of Ultraman Tiga) Golza and Melba were awakened and contemplated to destroy the pyramid with the giants it houses. Guided by Yuzare's hologram in her capsule, GUTS located the pyramid but wasn't able to save it as both monsters destroyed it. When Daigo tried to defend the last statue from being destroyed, it was during that time he assimilated with it, bringing forth Ultraman Tiga to the modern era. The remains of destroyed statues were examined by Professor Yuji Tango, who in turn conspired with Keigo Masaki to search for another giant Ultraman statue in Kumamoto, leading to the birth of Evil Tiga.

As revealed in episode 49 of Ultraman Dyna, the remains of destroyed statues in the Tiga Pyramid was used by Gondo Kihachi to create his artificial Ultraman Terranoid.

In reality, Ultraman Tiga's first archetypal design was made in a form of a clay statue by Marbling Fine Arts company. Two other prototypes were also submitted by said company, and in the end one of them was chosen as Tiga's default design. The other two statues were however incorporated to the storyline as aforementioned stone bodies of Tiga's past allies that alongside him to protect the ancient civilization.^[35] Also, the original setting for the pyramid was instead supposedly to house five instead of three Ultras, with two statues being destroyed and the other two merging with Tiga to bestow him his Type Change abilities.^[36]

Ultraman Tiga

Evil Tiga

Evil Tiga (イーヴィルティガ, Īviru Tiga) is a white-colored ancient Ultraman that appeared in episode 44 of Ultraman Tiga. Originally a giant of light whose statue buried under the Psytech Building in Kumamoto, he was discovered and had his powers utilized by Keigo Masaki, who like Daigo, a descendant from the ancient giants of light, but desired to use the ancient warrior's power to lead the human race with his own hands, having dreamt of humanity's destruction as well. Daigo disproved his method, not only had he tried to exploit the Ultra Warrior's power with an impure heart, but Masaki's actions were only to fuel his own ego. He assimilated with Evil Tiga's statue via Daigo's Spark Lence and his converter, which turn him into light particles.^[37]

But instead of leading humanity, Masaki's forced assimilation caused him to lose control over the giant, leaving Evil Tiga to wreak havoc within Kumamoto and attacked the Ancient Ultra's original companion Guarde until Ultraman Tiga appeared. While both giants fought to a standstill, Tiga performed the Brain Chop attack, which was enough to cripple the corrupted giant for the hero to defeat it.^[38] Evil Tiga was destroyed afterwards but unfortunately as revealed in Ultraman Dyna, that Ultra's remains was used for the creation of TPC's plan F: Terranoid. Prior to Terranoid's appearance, Evil Tiga appeared in episode 46 as one of the past enemies whose image was used by Moravia while using its powers to project its target's fears.

Being an ancient Ultra Warrior, Evil Tiga bears similar body features to the titular hero despite being differently designed, such as the forehead gem Evil Crystal (イーヴィルクリスタル, Īviru Kurisutaru) and Evil Protector (イーヴィルプロテクター, Īviru Purotekutā) chest armor. His attacks are Evil Beam (イーヴィルビーム, Īviru Bīmu) energy blast, flying kick attack Evil Kick (イーヴィルキック, Īviru Kikku) and defensive shield Evil Barrier (イーヴィルバリアー, Īviru Bariā). His main finisher is Evil Shot (イーヴィルショット, Īviru Shotto), which is done in a reversal way to Ultraman Tiga's Zeperion Ray.

Evil Tiga is voiced by Takashi Kora in the series, who is also the actor for Keigo Masaki. He is a playable character in the video game Ultraman Fighting Evolution 3, where he is voiced by Yūji Machi (真地 勇志, Machi Yūji), Ultraman Tiga's voice actor and the narrator of Ultraman Dyna. In an original concept, Evil Tiga was meant to appear in the 2016 movie, Ultraman X: Here It Comes! Our Ultraman under suggestion of writer Takao Nakano but was turned down by Kiyotaka Taguchi after finding the plot too similar to the original Evil Tiga.^[39]

Evil Tiga's design was improvised from a rejected design of Ultraman Tiga^[40] and was never referred to his real name during his appearance, ironically being called by Rena as a Tiga Impostor (ティガの偽者, Tiga no Nisemono) despite his status as a genuine Ultraman. Evil Tiga's original proposal was meant to be a black-colored Ultraman, which was already made in conception by Hiroshi Maruyama since the first airing of Ultraman Neos (1995).^[41]

Ultraman

Ultraman Dyna

Ultraman Dyna (ウルトラマンダイナ, Urutoraman Daina) is the main titular Ultra Warrior of his own series, whose origin in the story remains unknown to this day. Dyna first appeared in the series as a mysterious light that bonded with Asuka after his GUTS Wing was destroyed, which left the man floating in space. When Super GUTS faced against Darambia on Mars, Asuka turned into a mysterious light and the Ultra Warrior made his debut on Mars, and killed Neo Darambia with relative ease. During that time, he was mistaken by a few people to be the long lost Ultraman, Tiga and was given an official name by Super GUTS' communication officer Mai (which revolves around the English word "dynamic") after other proposed names were rejected.^[42]

From that point on, Dyna continued to fight against monster and alien threats when they could not be handled by Super GUTS or other military factions alone. Because of his appearance, he is regarded by many (both in-series and fans alike) as the spiritual successor to Ultraman Tiga, having met the latter once while the Earth was in the brink of invasion by Alien Monera. During his brief meeting with Tiga, he also inherited Tiga's light, further cementing his title as Earth's next protector. During the series finale, when the Sphires' invasion reached its climax, his host Asuka was kidnapped and Dyna's power was forcefully used to bring forth TPC's artificial Ultraman Terranoid. When a weakened Dyna faced his mockeryof a doppelganger, it was then when his host's kidnapper Gondo reformed by sacrificing himself to give Dyna the energy needed to fight back. His relation to Asuka was first exposed to Gondo, Ryo and the Black Buster Squad before the rest of Super GUTS discovered it as well when he tried to save Ryo from Neo-Gaigareid. With the help of Super GUTS, Dyna was able to save the Earth from Gransphire but unfortunately both him and Asuka were sucked into the black hole created from said monster's explosion. Although seemingly killed, Dyna and Asuka in fact survived and the two continued to travel in-between universes, first meeting with Asuka's long lost father, Kazuma.

True to being Tiga's spiritual successor, Dyna possess the Dyna Crystal (ダイナクリスタル, Daina Kurisutaru) that allows him to Type Change (タイプチェンジ, Taipu Chenji), switching body colors and fighting prowess to his own preferences.^[43] Unlike Tiga, Dyna's version is limited, as in each transformation he can only switch to one Type before switching back to the regular Flash Type (default form). However, his advantages is that he is capable of accessing his alternate forms right during his transformation, as he did so when fighting against Deathfacer and against Graikis. His three forms include:

• Flash Type (フラッシュタイプ, Furasshu Taipu):^[44] Dyna's default form, which bears the color red and blue and the Dyna Tector (ダイナテクター, Daina Tekutā) chest armor. Flash Type is based on the original Ultraman's fighting skills and is an analogous to Tiga's Multi Type, both are well-balanced in performances but unlike the latter, Dyna is mostly agile and uses beam attacks than close combat, true to his namesake "dynamic". His main finisher is Solgent Ray (ソルジェント光線, Sorujento Kōsen), which performed in a similar manner to the original Ultraman's Spacium Ray but can also unleash a stronger variation, Empowered Variant Solgent Ray (強化版ソルジェント光線, Kyōka-ban Sorujento Kōsen) by spreading his arms backward in a similar manner to Tiga's Zeperion Ray. Apart from that, he can also utilize real life-based skills such as Ultra Fork (ウルトラフォーク, Urutora Fōku), a forkball attack. In Ultraman Saga, he demonstrated the ability Dyna Charging (ダイナチャージング, Daina Chājingu) where he recharges another Ultraman's energy.
• Miracle Type (ミラクルタイプ, Mirakuru Taipu): Dyna's blue-colored alternate form, based on Tiga Sky Type as both focuses on speed. Unlike Tiga, who proficiens in aerial combat, Dyna possess the ability to perform ESP-based attacks called Ultra Psychic (ウルトラサイキック, Urutora Saikikku) telekinesis or Nature Control (ネイチャーコントロール, Neichā Kontorōru) to manipulate natural elements to his liking. A variation of the latter is also utilized, known as Miracle Thunder Charge (ミラクルサンダーチャージ, Mirakuru Sandā Chāji) which helps him perform electrokinesis, he used it once to recharge his energy via Kokakuchu's plasma lightning. His main attack is Revolium Wave (レボリウムウェーブ, Reboryumu Uēbu), which can be performed in two variations: the Attack Version (アタックバージョン, Atakku Bājon) that banished his targets to a black hole or Reverse Version (リバースバージョン, Ribāsu Bājon) that reflect incoming attacks back to his opponents. Alongside Cosmos' Luna Mode, this form is the foundation of Ultraman Zero's Luna-Miracle Zero.^[45]
• Strong Type (ストロングタイプ, Sutorongu Taipu): Dyna's red-colored alternate form; its color scheme being inversion to Miracle Type, as the red color dominates the most than silver and is based on Tiga Power Type, as both focus on brute strength. Compared to Tiga who also utilized range attacks, Dyna only has a little of them, and most of his attacks are strength-related. His only ranged attack is Garnate Bomber Shooting Version (ガルネイドボンバー・シューティングバージョン, Garuneito Bonbā Shūtingu Bājon), which involves launching a spherical projectile towards the enemy or creating an Ultra Barrier (ウルトラバリア, Urutora Baria) to hold off the opponent's ranged attacks before launching it back to them. His known physical attacks are Vulcan Swing (バルカンスウィング, Barukan Suingu), spinning his opponents in a high velocity or performing a Cross-Counter Punch (クロスカウンターパンチ, Kurosu Kauntā Panchi) to defeat his impostor, Imitation Ultraman Dyna. He as well had an attack that was never shown in the series proper, called Garnate Bomber Swing Version (スウｨングバージョン, Suingu Bājon), slamming the opponent's head onto the ground. Alongside Cosmos' Corona Mode, this form is the foundation behind Ultraman Zero's Strong-Corona Zero.^[45]

Ultraman Dyna is voiced by Takeshi Tsuruno, the actor of his human host, Shin Asuka. In Ultraman Boy no Urukoro, he is voiced by Hiroshi Okamoto (岡本 寛志, Okamoto Hiroshi).^[46] In the Ultra Series' 45th anniversary, Dyna was placed 17th in the popularity poll and ranked 13th in 2013 with a total of 2301 voters.^[47][48]

Terranoid

Artificial Ultraman Terranoid (人造ウルトラマン テラノイド, Jinzō Urutoraman Teranoido) is a man-made Ultra Warrior that appeared in episode 49 of Ultraman Dyna.^[31][49]

Created by TPC in secret as part of the plan F, Terranoid used the remains of Evil Tiga and the two destroyed statues that laid to rest with Tiga and was built with the likeness of Ultraman Dyna. Requiring an Ultra Warrior's energy to activate it, Gondo ordered the kidnapping of Asuka and used Dyna's energy as it went into the action by fending off Mars Base against an army of Sphires. However, Terranoid's energy quickly ran out due to his inability to conserve energy and was assimilated/hijacked by the Sphires into a horrid monster called Super Morphed Beastman Zelganoid (超合成獣人 ゼルガノイド, Chao Hekai Ju-Jin Zeruganoido). Now a monster, Zelgaoid rebelled against his own creators, forcing Asuka/Dyna to fight in a depleted energy until Gondo sacrificed his own life to replenish Dyna, allowing the giant of light to kill the monster with ease.

Terranoid's appearance is in fact based on Ultraman Dyna (particularly that of Strong-Type) with golden armor accessories. His main attacks are Solgent Ray (Fake) (ソルジェント光線（フェイク）, Sorujento Kōsen Feiku) and Beam Slicer (Fake) (ビームスライサー（フェイク）, Bīmu Suraisā Feiku). As Zelganoid, he retained his original attacks and is capable of utilizing energy shields and Flash Cycler (Fake) (フラッシュサイクラー（フェイク）, Furasshu Saikurā Feiku), the former which is also demonstrated in most Sphire-related synthetic beasts.

Terranoid/Zelganoid's grunts were recycled from Dyna's original grunts, who in turn was voiced by Takeshi Tsuruno, Shin Asuka's actor.

Dark Giants

The Dark Giants (闇の巨人, Yami no Kyojin) are Ultra Warriors from the ancient civilization that rose to prominence after a civil war between their own kind torn their civilization apart, causing several participants to fall into the dark side. Around that time, there were four dark giants: Camearra, Darramb, Hudra and their strongest warrior/leader, Tiga Dark. Unfortunately for them, Tiga switched sides to the light side after falling for Yuzare and sealed his own companions, thereby ending the civil war. In the present day, two years after Tiga's final battle with Gatanothor, TPC discovered their stone statue and thought of using Keigo Masaki's own idea to manipulate the Ultra Warriors' powers for military strength but accidentally lifted their seal by mistake and eventually led them to their revival. Unable to escape because of Yuzare's light barrier, all three of them invaded Daigo in his dreams and forced him to join the darkness by giving him Tiga Dark's powers. Although he transformed into Tiga Dark and destroyed Yuzare's barrier, Daigo refused to join them and like the original Tiga, stole their powers and defeated them. Following their defeat, the dark influence disappeared and R'lyeh Island (which was the place they first sealed) sank. The dark giants are based on characters of Cthulhu Mythos by H. P. Lovecraft.

• Love and Hatred Warrior Camearra (愛憎戦士 カミーラ, Aizō Senshi Kamīra):^[50] The current leader of the dark giants and Tiga's lover in the past but said relationship turned into an unhealthy obsession due to the reason of Tiga's defection, as well as his reincarnation Daigo fell for another woman. After her revival in the modern times, Camearra used this opportunity to haunt Daigo in his visions and gave him the Black Spark Lence for him to become Tiga Dark. When Daigo/Tiga refused join her in the dark giants and defeated Darramb and Hyudra, Camearra was left to face him in her giant form. His action of rescuing his fiance Rena further drove Camearra to the point of jealousy and forced her to transform into Demonthor before being defeated by Glitter Tiga. In her final moments, she redeemed from her past actions and died beside Daigo while finally gaining her own light. In her human form, Camearra displayed the ability to invade her target's dreams and visions, as well as the use of ESP and electrokinesis. Her dark Ultra form, which transformed from her own golden Spark Lence appeared as a golden Ultra Warrior with feminine body archetype. Her main ability is utilizing energy whip from her right arm, called Camearra Whip (カミーラウィップ, Kamīra Uippu), which can also be used as an energy sword called Aizord (アイゾード, Aizōdo).^{[lower-alpha 4]} She is portrayed by Miyoko Yoshimoto (芳本美代子, Yoshimoto Miyoko) and is based on Cthylla.
  • Darkness Demon Super Beast Demonthor (闇黒魔超獣 デモンゾーア, Ankoku Ma Chōjū Demonzōa): Camearra's monster form, which acquired after she assimilated with the restless spirit of Gatanothor. Through this form, she was able to kill Tiga until the ancient giants of light revived him as Glitter Tiga, giving him the strength to defeat Demonzour from within via Zera Death Beam. Demonthor's main attack involves energy spear projections called Demon Jaber (デモンジャバー, Demon Jabā), which can be concentrated into a beam called Jab Rush (ジャブラッシュ, Jabu Rasshu). She also possess hidden tentacles called Demon Feeler (デモンフィーラー, Demon Fīrā), through which attempted to consume Glitter Tiga before he destroyed her from within.
• Herculean Strength Warrior Darramb (剛力戦士 ダーラム, Gōriki Senshi Dāramu): A red dark giant whose fighting skills revolves around brute strength, which is also demonstrated in his human form. He was Tiga's close friend during his days as a dark giant, hence the English phrase "My Friend" and is the foundation of Tiga's Power Type. He is the first opponent to face Daigo when he refused to join their faction. He fought Tiga in an aquatic environment of R'lyeh, with the battle's favor turned to him due to his proficiency in underwater combat. Just as Darramb seemingly killed Tiga Dark, the giant absorbed his attack to partially restore his light as Tiga Tornado and used it to decimate his former friend with Delacium Light Stream. Darramb's main abilities are Darramb Whip (ダーラムホイップ, Dāramu Uippu), lifting his opponents and continuously slamming them towards the ground and Darramatter (ダーラメッタ, Dārametta) continuous punch. Upon locking his opponent to the ground with Squitter (スクイッター, Sukuittā), he can perform his strongest attack called Fire Magnum (ファイアマグナム, Faia Magunamu). Darramb is portrayed by Masaru Matsuda (松田優, Matsuda Masaru), previously portraying Team Hercules leader Satoru Yoshida from Ultraman Gaia and is based on Father Dagon.
• Agile Warrior Hyudra (俊敏戦士 ヒュドラ, Shunbin Senshi Hyudora): A purple dark giant whose fighting skills revolves around aerial proficiency, while his human form displayed the ability of acceleration. Unlike his comrades, Hudra's relationship with Tiga Dark was rather strained due to the former's jealousy and is the foundation of Tiga's Sky Type. Following Darramb's defeat, Hyudra brought Tiga Tornado to his asteroid belt-pocket dimension Phantom Space Rumarjon (夢幻空間ルマージョン, Mugen Kūkan Rumājon), and is able to fight against the latter until Iruma triggered a detonator which destroyed both the Zoiger hives and expelled the two giants from the subspace. In the real world, Hyudra tried to finish Tiga with his finisher but his actions backfired when Tiga converted the attack into his second partially light form, Tiga Blast and the former was killed with Ranbalt Light Bullet. His main attack is the flying kick Janock (ジャノック, Janokku) and through the Dra Fork (ドラフォーク, Dora Fōku) on his right arm, he is capable of launching energy bullets called Valtester (バルテスター, Barutesutā) or his finisher attack, Hugust (ヒューガスト, Hyūgasuto). A stronger variation of the latter attack can be made by resting his left arm on the Dra Fork. He is portrayed by Tenmei Basara (婆裟羅 天明, Basara Tenmei), previously portrayed Alien Muzan in Ultraman Tiga and is based on Mother Hydra. In the 2014 game Super Hero Generation, he is voiced by Masahito Yabe (矢部 雅史, Yabe Masahito).

Antagonists

Super Ancient Monsters

The Super Ancient Monsters (超古代怪獣, Chō Kodai Kaijū) were the main monsters of Ultraman Tiga. As their title implies, their origin dated back to the era of ancient civilizations, having attacked same location before being driven away by the ancient giants of light. Their shared feature are porous skin on their neck, which in reality were used to disguise the peepholes for the suit actors.^[41]

• Super Ancient Monster Golza (超古代怪獣 ゴルザ, Chō Kodai Kaijū Goruza, 1, The Final Odyssey): Called by Yuzare as "the monster that trembles the Earth" (大地を揺るがす怪獣, Daichi o Yurugasu Kaijū), Golza was awakened within the grounds of Mongolia and join its partner Melba to attack the Tiga Pyramid and destroy Tiga and his companion's statues. Although being able to destroy the other two, once Golza was about to trample Tiga, the giant awakened after it assimilated with Daigo and fought both monsters. As the fight turned to Tiga's favor, Golza escaped and buried underground, leaving its partner Melba to be killed by Tiga. In The Final Odyssey, 5 Golzas appeared in the Super Ancient civilization and terrorized it until they were countered by the ancient Ultra Warriors. Golza's main ability is Ultrasonic Ray (超音波光線, Chō Onpa Kōsen), which involves launching ultrasonic beam from its forehead. Golza is designed by Hiroshi Maruyama, with its face resemble that of Geronimon from Ultraman and original motif is based on Gomess from Ultra Q.^[51] Its original name was Orugo (オルゴ) before being changed to Golza.^[52]
  • Golza (Empowered) (ゴルザ（強化）, Goruza Kyōka, 18):^[53] Months after escaping from Ultraman Tiga, Golza buried itself into a vocanic area where it consumed the heat from its surroundings and evolved, gaining enhanced strength and firepower. Awakened by GUTS' attempt to stop said volcano from erupting, Golza went on a rampaging spree in its nearby area until Tiga appeared and killed it after a brief fight. Soon Tiga hurled Golza's corpse towards the volcano to prevent the eruption from happening.^[54] Despite named Golza (Empowered), later media of Ultra Series renamed it as "Fire Golza" (ファイヤーゴルザ, Faiyā Goruza).^[55]
  • Golza II (ゴルザII, Goruza Tsū, 43 (Dyna)): Nine years later in Ultraman Dyna, the original Golza (Empowered) was revived and sported physical changes, such as a smaller head and its cells being able to absorb or sustain incoming attacks. This Golza fought against Dyna, the successor of its previous enemy, Tiga. While proven being able to outmatch Dyna, the Ultraman soon pierced through its skin and used that wound to attack, putting an end to Golza once and for all. Kariya speculated that Golza was revived with the help of Sphias, although no supportive evidence was shown.
• Super Ancient Dragon Melba (超古代竜 メルバ, Chō Kodai Ryū Meruba, 1): Called by Yuzare as "the monster that cuts through the sky" (空を切り裂く怪獣, Sora o Kirisaku Kaijū), Melba was awakened from the mountains of Easter Island and join its partner Golza to attack the Tiga Pyramid and destroy Tiga and his companion's statues. Tiga statue was left but it quickly assimilated with Daigo and Melba was later on destroyed after Golza retreated and left its partner to deal with the giant. Melba's main attacks are Melbanic Ray (メルバニックレイ, Merubanikku Rei) and Slash Claws (スラッシュクロー, Surasshu Kurō). Melba is based on Litra from episode 1 of Ultra Q.^[51]
• Super Ancient Monster Galra (超古代怪獣 ガルラ, Chō Kodai Kaijū Garura, 39): A monster whose skin is protected by the Counterattack Armor (カウンターアタックアーマー, Kauntā Atakku Āmā), which allowed it to resist against various attacks. Having survived its first encounter with Tiga, Galra went into hiding and rises once more in a rampaging spree on the city. An Esper named Makio Kirino challenged Daigo to destroy the monster with his own wit without using Tiga's power at the expense of his identity but seeing how Daigo gave up his challenge just to save Rena, a redeemed Makio informed Tiga of Galra's weakness, its unprotected neck where Tiga strike it quickly with Zeperion Ray, ending its life.
• Super Ancient Plant Gijera (超古代植物 ギジェラ, Chō Kodai Shokubutsu Gijera, 45): A giant plant monster who partially responsible for the fall of ancient human civilization. When humanity choose Gijera, the Ultra Warriors were incapable of interfering with human decisions and laid to rest in their stone statues, all while said civilization was destroyed by the darkness. Although Horii stated that the Gijera is a new species, Nook (a survivor of the ancient civilization) revealed that Gijera is an Earth plant. Through the Gijera Extract (ギジェラエキス, Gijera Ekisu) pollen, humanity falls into the state of utopia until the sunset where Gijera ceased its activity due to being a plant. While Daigo learned that ancient giants were unable to interfere with humanity's decisions, he was forced to break the code after witnessing its effects on the civilians, having addicted to the pollen. Gijera's physical body was destroyed first before Tiga grabbed its root and destroyed the main core.
• Super Ancient Vanguard Monster Zoiger (超古代尖兵怪獣 ゾイガー, Chō Kodai Senpei Kaijū Zoigā, 50-52): Called by Yuzare as "the evil wings that burn off the ground" (地を焼き払う悪しき翼, Ji o Yakiharau Ashiki Tsubasa), these monsters are advance guards of Gatanothor, first awakened in New Zealand simultaneously with the surfacing of R'lyeh. One single Zoiger was faced by Rena in Snow White and soon killed by Ultraman Tiga. However, several more appeared, facing against worldwide branches of TPC. Following Gatanothor's death, all Zoigers disappeared as well. The Zoigers are based on Lloigor from the Cthulhu mythology.
  • Super Ancient Ghost Wing Beast Shibito Zoiger^{[lower-alpha 5]} (超古代怨霊翼獣 シビトゾイガー, Chō Kodai Onryō Tsubasa-jū Shibito Zoigā, The Final Odyssey): Smaller variants of Zoigers that inhabited R'lyeh. When the Dark Giants awaken, the Shibito Zoigers tried to fly towards the human world but was blocked by Yuzare's light barrier until Tiga Dark's transformation freed them. Iruma managed to destroy their hive with TPC's leftover dynamite and most of the army vanished followed by Demonthor's destruction. Despite its size, the Shibito Zoigers can launch an attack called Zoiger Bull (ゾイガバル, Zoiga Baru) and are capable of flying at the same speed as GUTS Wing 1 (Mach 5.5).

Kyrie People

Flame Demon Kyrie People (炎魔人 キリエル人, En Majin Kirieru-bito, 3, 20, 25, 52 (Tiga)) were one of the villains of Ultraman Tiga and were the titular Ultra's first major adversary. A race of ancient demon from the past whose existence predated the ancient giants of light, they tried to rule humanity in the present day and saw Tiga as an obstacle. Their original plan was targeting Iruma of GUTS due to her acknowledging Tiga as humanity's savior and decided to kill any humans deemed not worthy to live. In their second appearance, they soon resort to brainwash an entire population into distrusting Tiga until Iruma broke them free from the Kyrie People's influences. Eventually in the final episode, their race decided to leave for another dimension when Tiga was defeated by Gatanothor.

The Kyrie People appeared as phantom states and is capable of utilizing ESP. They are also capable of possessing or disguise as a human. Two assumed human identities are Mitsuo Itahashi (イタハシ・ミツオ, Itahashi Mitsuo) and Keiko Ōnuma (オオヌマ・ケイコ, Ōnuma Keiko), both were actual individuals that passed away sometime prior to the series.

• Flame Demon Warrior Kyrieloid (炎魔戦士 キリエロイド, Enma Senshi Kirieroido, 3): The Kyrie People's gigantic form, which utilized to fight Tiga. In this form, they were able to summon Hell Flame Bullets (獄炎弾, Goku Endan) from beneath the ground. These fires are believed to be sacred within their believes. Following Tiga's appearance, a Kyrie People grew into this form and fight the giant hero until Tiga froze him as Sky Type before utilizing Multi-Type and destroy it via Zeperion Ray.
• Flame Demon Warrior Kyrieloid II (炎魔戦士 キリエロイドII, Enma Senshi Kirieroido Tsū, 25): Having influenced the entire population into against Tiga, this Kyrieloid tried to guard the Gate of Hell (地獄の門, Jigoku no Mon). When fighting against Tiga Dark, he was able to adapt to Tiga's Type Change, growing blade protrusions on his arms when against Power Type and gigantic wings when against Sky Type. Originally being able to overpower Tiga, when the town residents realized their mistake, they soon charge Tiga with their lights, giving the giant the strength to fight back. Throwing Kyrieloid II towards the Gate of Hell, Tiga launched his Zeperion Ray, simultaneously destroying both of them.

Mitsuo Itahashi and Keiko Ōnuma are portrayed by Hiroyuki Takano (高野浩幸, Takano Hiroyuki) and Chihiro Haruna (春菜千広, Haruna Chihiro) respectively. The Kyrieloids were voiced by Masaharu Satō (佐藤正治, Satō Masaharu) and the first Ultra Monster to be designed in the series before Golza and Melba (both monsters in episode 1) would appear. Their main design motive is the devil.^[41]

Gatanothor

Evil God Gatanothor (邪神 ガタノゾーア, Jashi Gatanozōa, 51-52)^[56] is the original antagonist of Ultraman Tiga. Called by Yuzare as "the great darkness" (大いなる闇, Ōinaru Yami), Gatanothor was responsible for the destruction of ancient civilization and had covered the Earth with great darkness before the monster and its followers went hibernated. In the present day, Gatanothor awakened several days after Gijera's destruction, bringing forth the sunken island R'lyeh to surface and unleashing its vanguard Zoigers. When Gatanothor's darkness began to spread all across the world, Tiga fought it but was quickly defeated due to its sturdy armor and gigantic body.^[57] Tiga was later turned into a stone statue before sinking into the depths of the sea. Eventually with everyone's lights around the world, Tiga was momentarily revived as Glitter Tiga and turn the tables to defeat Gatanothor, therefore restoring peace to Earth. Two years later in The Final Odyssey, Camearra used Gatanothor's own grudge to turn herself into a gigantic monster named Demonthor.

Gatanothor's main ability is to launch Shadow Mist (シャドウミスト, Shadō Misuto) to either spread darkness around the world or as hazardous gas used in attack. Aside from that, the monster bear tentacles and pincers hidden beneath the sea it inhabited. Its strongest attack is Petrifaction Ray (石化光線, Sekka Kōsen),^{[lower-alpha 6]} used to petrify Tiga back into a stone statue.

Gatanothor's main design is a nautilus and ammonite. Its head in an upside down position is a reference to Gatanothor's habit of looking down towards humanity.^[41]

Sphia

Cosmic Sphere Sphia (宇宙球体 スフィア, Uchū Kyūtai Sufia, 1, 2, 35, 44, 49-51)^{[lower-alpha 7]} were the main antagonist of Ultraman Dyna. Their first appearance was during the Super GUTS training enrolment, attacking ZERO cadets and Asuka sacrificing his GUTS Wing to save Ryo. During its attack on TPC Mars base, it was then where Dyna made his debut and destroy several Sphias before fighting against Neo Darambia. While having fewer appearances in the series, they were soon given an active involvement in the three parter finale episodes, combining with each other to form Dark Planet Gransphia (暗黒惑星 グランスフィア, Ankoku Wakusei Guransufia) and contemplated to consume the whole Solar System. Having consumed Pluto and the artificial sun, Gransphire set its target on Earth, using a black hole as its shield until Super GUTS in Kraakov fires the Neo Maxima Cannon for Dyna to finish it. But Gransphire's death came at a high price, as Dyna/Asuka was absorbed into the black hole. In Ultraman Saga, it was revealed that several Sphias survived and tried to attack the TPC Mars base once more before being countered by Nozomu Taiga and being captured by Alien Bat to feed his Hyper Zetton.

Named by Saeko Shiina, Sphias are spherical alien life-forms with the ability to self-reproduction and assimilating with any life forms or organic substances. Upon combining into Gransphia, it was able to consume planets and shield itself with a large black hole. For attack purpose, the Gransphia can unleash mirages of past enemies which Dyna easily countered.

The Sphias are voiced by Hisako Itaruyo (達依久子, Itaruyo Hisako).

Sphia Synthetic Beasts

Sphire Synthetic Beasts (スフィア合成獣, Sufia Gōsei-jū) were monsters in Ultraman Dyna, created by assimilating organic substances or other life forms. Their common ability revolves around energy beam and subspace barrier. Several of them can evolve into Super Synthetic Beasts (超合成獣, Chō Gōsei-jū), gaining enhanced powers and abilities.

• Synthetic Beast Darambia (合成獣 ダランビア, Gōsei-jū Daranbia, 1): A three-legged arthropod monster created after the Sphias assimilated with Mars minerals. Asuka attacked the in both aerial and ground combat before Dyna made his debut, using his rising sequence to simultaneously kill the monster.
  • Super Synthetic Beast Neo Darambia (超合成獣 ネオダランビア, Chō Gōsei-jū Neo Daranbia, 1, 2): Upon its destruction by Dyna's rise, Darambia's remains reconstituted into the bipedal Neo Darambia. Other than enhanced shielding, Neo Darambia also gained electric-based powers. It was able to resist most of Dyna's attacks until the Ultra launched his Solgent Ray, destroying its shield and simultaneously killing Neo Darambia for good.^[58][59][60]
  • Super Synthetic Beast Neo Darambia II (超合成獣 ネオダランビアII, Chō Gōsei-jū Neo Daranbia Tsū, 49): A second Neo Darambia created when the Sphias assimilated with the Mars minerals once more.
