Protagonists

Gamu Takayama

Gamu Takayama (高山 我夢, Takayama Gamu) is the main character and hailed from Chiba Prefecture. Aged 20 years old, he was a member of Alchemy Stars, and obtained a doctorate in Quantum physics at the age of 17. [1] Back in his childhood days, Gamu was usually ostracized by other children due to his exceptional intelligence but he does have a pure heart, choosing not to provoke a fight and is on good terms with several people he has met.

At the beginning of the series, Gamu enrolled in the Quantum Physics Laboratory of Jonan University and met Ultraman Gaia in an experiment to discover the will of the Earth. During C.O.V.'s invasion, he was bestowed with Gaia's light to fight against the monster and was hired as the XIG's analyzer. [2] His XIG Fighter possesses a remote control system that allowed him to transform without raising suspicions. While fighting as Gaia, Gamu always found himself clashing with an Alchemy Stars deserter Fujimiya, who gained the ability to transform into Agul. [3] Their connection caused him to be fired from XIG in episode 23 until he was hired again under Commander Ishimuro's wishes. Gamu accidentally revealed his identity as Gaia, and Fujimiya's identity as well, to his XIG teammates when he was witnessing Agul's defeat by Zebubu. After Gaia and Agul's defeat by Zogu, Gamu and Fujimiya's identities were exposed worldwide and he briefly regained the ability to transform to fight against her. In the aftermath of the battle, Gamu resumed his life as a university student. In Once Again Gaia, Gamu was given the position of an irregular soldier when briefly joining the XIG again. His encounter with Rinar provided him the power to transform into Gaia again and fight against Gakuzom.

Despite his excellence in the scientific field, Gamu is shown to be weak in terms of physical fitness and eventually trains harder as the series progresses to keep up Gaia's performance. This becomes essential when Gaia received the light of Agul as it needed a stronger body to catch up with the increase of power. [4] In The Battle In Hyperspace, Gamu's favorite book is the Irish novel Gulliver's Travels , being the source of his inspiration in Quantum physics. His main transformation device is the Esplender (エスプレンダー, Esupurendā), lifting it upwards when transforming into Ultraman Gaia. [5]

Gamu Takayama is portrayed by Takeshi Yoshioka (吉岡 毅志, Yoshioka Takeshi) [1] and Jun Masuo (増尾 遵, Masuo Jun) in his childhood. The setting of Gamu is supposedly to be a "boy genius", but Takeshi is able to portray him in several feats. Takeshi himself overjoyed when he was able to reprise Gamu in a separate work, Superior Ultraman 8 Brothers , although Gamu in said movie is portrayed as a separate iteration to the original television series. [6]

Hiroya Fujimiya

Hiroya Fujimiya (藤宮 博也, Fujimiya Hiroya) is the 22 year old Alchemy Star deserter, serving as both rival and senior to Gamu. [7] [lower-alpha 1] He spent his time searching for answers to counter the threat of Radical Destruction Bringer through the prediction of Chrisis and was eventually bestowed with the light of Agul, three years before Gamu obtained Gaia's light.

Having been deceived by Chrisis that humanity would be Earth's destroyer, Fujimiya deserted the Alchemy Stars and became a wanted person in the eyes of G.U.A.R.D. His point of view usually clashed with the more idealistic Gamu, which gradually became an intense rivalry. He also met the KCB reporter, Reiko on various occasions. With the death of his colleague Kyoko Inamori, he reached his breaking point and this led to him awakening various monsters from around the Earth via Agul's power. [3] With the advent of Zoruim and Gamu revealing that his supercomputer Chrisis was long ago hacked, Fujimiya descended into the point of breakdown, surrendering Agul's light to Gamu before seemingly vanishing in an explosion from a fireball. Although surviving the attack, Fujimiya tried multiple times to attack the Radical Destruction Bringer with his own resources before he fell into despair and became near suicidal. At the time of Gamu's capture by Σ-Zuiguru, Fujimiya regained both his will and Agul's light to save his comrade, eventually leading him to join forces with Gamu. His identity as Agul was accidentally exposed by Gamu after witnessing his defeat by Zebubu, simultaneously revealing his identity as Gaia to the XIG members. After losing Agul's light to Zogu, Fujimiya's Chrisis was put to use by G.U.A.R.D. as they briefly restore the Ultras' powers for a counterattack. In the epilogue, Fujimiya left for parts unknown while wearing bright clothes and smiling.

In Once Again Gaia, Fujimiya once again went on the run from G.U.A.R.D. after attempts to lure Zonnel away from an urban area went awry. While hiding, he met Melissa, a Rinar who restore Agul's light to the Agulater.

Although he is not affiliated to any group, Fujimiya is rich enough to own a private jet and was seen twice riding a motorcycle. [lower-alpha 2] Agul's light is stored within the Agulater (アグレイター, Agureitā), a brace worn on the right arm which spins 180 degree before opening up its wing-like appendage to reveal Agul's light. [9] In Once Again Gaia, Fujimiya held the device directly on his hand and transform in a similar manner to Gamu with his Esplender. He can also channel Agul's power, such as moving in a blinding speed to evade G.U.A.R.D. troops and break into the Geo Base.

Hiroya Fujimiya is portrayed by Hassei Takano (高野 八誠, Takano Hassei), who in real life is married to Yukari Ishida, Reiko Yoshii's actor in the same series. [7] In Superior Ultraman 8 Brothers, both of their characters' alternate iterations were portrayed as a married couple with their real life daughter on the set.

Tsutomu Niiboshi

Tsutomu Niiboshi (新星 勉, Niiboshi Tsutomu) is the main character of The Battle in Hyperspace. [10]

A boy whose grades failing from addiction to Ultramen, his encounter with Lisa allowed him to bring Gamu to his universe but accidentally set forth the motion of events. During King of Mons' rampage, Tsutomu was able to wish for Tiga and Dyna's arrival to assist Gaia and turn the tables of the battle. Although having wished for the Red sphere (and Lisa)'s nonexistence, he met Lisa as a normal girl in the repeated day as they became fast friends.

Tsutomu Niiboshi is portrayed by Gaku Hamada (濱田 岳, Hamada Gaku). [11]

Lisa Nanase

Lisa Nanase (七瀬 リサ, Nanase Risa) is one of the characters of The Battle in Hyperspace.

She is the interface of Red Sphere (赤い球, Akai Tama), a device created by mankind from another world but sought a person that could wish its nonexistence after the dangerous potential it held. Arriving on Tsutomu's world, she developed an interest on the boy and allowed him to wish for Gamu's existence to their world. Unfortunately, it also fell into the hands of Hiroshi Kashimada, who wished Satan Bizor to their world as well. After being sent back to his world, Gamu decided to return after being visited by Lisa's vision. With Hiroshi and his friends influenced by the Red sphere's power, they created King of Mons as a result until Tsutomu knock them back to their senses and Gaia arrived. Tsutomu would later wish for Tiga and Dyna before wishing for the ball to exist. Despite its nonexistence and the event was reset, Lisa appeared as a normal girl who was transferred to Tsutomu's class as they quickly became friends.

Lisa Nanase is portrayed by Mai Saitō (斉藤 麻衣, Saitō Mai) and voiced by Nana Yamaguchi (山口 奈々, Yamaguchi Nana) as the Red Sphere. Director Kazuya Konaka mentioned that the Red Sphere's took the appearance of Lisa from a girl who Tsutomu would meet in the future (who he met at the last scene of the movie), making Tsutomu's image as "protector of the future". [12] He also envisioned the Red Sphere's role based on Brainwave Monster Gango (脳波怪獣 ギャンゴ, Nōha Kaijū Gyango) from Ultraman and due to this, a lot of comedic elements were placed in the movie's plot. [13]

XIG

XIG (シグ, Shigu, eXpanded Interceptive Guardians) is a group of elite members of G.U.A.R.D. which act as the forefront in against Radical Destruction Bringer. [1] Their main base of operation is the Aerial Base, later on relocated to Geo Base after its destruction by Mokian as part of a Kamikaze attack.

Fighter Teams [1]
Other teams [1]
Arsenal [14]
Mechas [15]

Due to cooperation with Alchemy Stars, the mechas of XIG were comparably beyond the normal standards of science, being developed with greater attack power in against monster attacks and Radical Destruction Bringer. Since members of XIG are all experts, the versatility was made to be limited and focuses more on execution missions.

G.U.A.R.D.

The Geocentric Universal Alliance against the Radical Destruction (対根源的破滅地球防衛連合, Tai Kongen-teki Hametsu Chikyū Bōei Rengō), abbreviated as G.U.A.R.D. (ガード, Gādo), is an organization founded in the year 1996 and based on New York. Formed by the United Nations and Alchemy Stars, its purpose is to prepare against the assault carried on by Radical Destruction Bringer as predicted by the supercomputer Chrisis. Despite its militaristic approach, they can also resort to democratic aspects such as giving priority to self-hope for assignment. [21]

Mechas [23]

The mechas of G.U.A.R.D. are only focused on existing weapons, they were lagging behind XIG in terms of attack and defensive power despite being much more versatile. As the organization gets bigger, they started to develop more dangerous weapons.

Ultraman Gaia (ウルトラマンガイア, Urutoraman Gaia) is the titular character of the series. The red giant of light who appeared when the Earth responded to the strong will of Gamu Takayama's desire to protect people of Earth, and bestowed the young man Gaia's red "light of Earth" (大地の光, Daichi no Hikari). [2] Gaia was named by Gamu in episode 3 after the Greek personification of the Earth and Gaia hypothesis. Although Gamu is consciously in control of the giant, there are times when Gaia would exert his own full strength due to his dedication to the human beings and Earth. [25]

[28] The change of color in his Gaia Breastar in V2 is due to designer Hiroshi Maruyama's wish for a black coloration in a titular Ultra Warrior. Said color is inspired by the black tea. [4] His mouth is designed after the B Type suit of Ultraman. [25] [29]

Ultraman Agul

Ultraman Agul (ウルトラマンアグル, Urutoraman Aguru) is the supporting character of the series. He is "the sea giant of light" (海の光の巨人, Umi no Hikari no Kyojin) that was born three years earlier than Gaia in the Alchemy Star's base of Pronone Caramos. His true purpose was to guard the Earth from the threats of Radical Destruction Bringer but was sidetracked from his human host (Fujimiya)'s misguided ideology and fought Gaia on certain occasions. After realizing his mistake, Fujimiya surrendered Agul's light to Gaia but regained it from the Earth at the height of Σ-Zuiguru's invasion. It was at this point the two started to fight on the same side and eventually faced against the Radical Destruction Bringer's minions at the series' finale arc. [30]

His mouth is designed after the B Type suit of Ultraseven. [30] [34] In the original planning, Agul was meant to disappear but his and Fujimiya's eventual return was decided after finding the character's increasing popularity. [35]

The Battle in Hyperspace

Antagonists

Radical Destruction Bringer

Radical Destruction Bringer (根源的破滅招来体, Kongen-teki Hametsu Shōrai-tai) is portrayed as a mysterious force that aimed to destroy humanity from Earth by sending monsters from a wormhole. Its existence was predicted by sorcerer Kijuro Mato from 500 years prior and eventually led to the foundation of G.U.A.R.D. and its branch XIG. Having foreseen the arrival of Earth's guardians (Gaia and Agul), it was responsible for deceiving Fujimiya into viewing humanity as Earth's enemies. Despite G.U.A.R.D.'s attempts to resist it, there are several cults on Japan which praises the Radical Destruction Bringer as a force of divine punishment to sinners. According to the Deathbringer, the Radical Destruction Bringer's reason to destroy humanity was due to its assumption on said race as a dangerous pathogen to the universe.

Chiaki J. Konaka never visualizes how did the Radical Destruction Bringer appeared to be. In fact, he left the interpretation to the writers of the series. [36]

Forces of Radical Destruction Bringer

Wave Life Forms

The Wave Life Form Primal Mezard (波動生命体 プライマルメザード, Hadō Seimei-tai Puraimaru Mezādo, 4, 13, 19, 37) are jellyfish-like life forms that came from a different space-time location. [43] Because of their nature, the XIG Fighters have trouble combating them until Gamu discovered their location. Upon being defeated, the Primal Mezard can transform themselves into their monstrous forms. The Adventure in Hypserspace novel has Charija acknowledged Psycho Mezard (and to a lesser extent, the Wave Life forms) as part of the forces of Radical Destruction Bringer.

Associated figures of illusions

Satan Bizor

Giant Aberrant Beast Satan Bizor (巨大異形獣 サタンビゾー, Kyodai Igyō-jū Satan Bizō) is a monster that appeared in The Battle In Hyperspace. [45] [46] [lower-alpha 10]

In the show-within-a-show Ultraman Gaia episode The Devil's Kiss, Satan Bizor was an enemy from Devil World Zorland (魔界ゾーランド, Makai Zōrando) who copied Gamu's appearance (declared as Black Gamu (黒い我夢, Kuroi Gamu)) before facing against Gaia. When Hiroshi Kashimada wished for the Red Sphere, he inadvertently brought Satan Bizor to his homeworld as well, leaving the dimensional-displaced Gamu to fight against it. In episode 42 of the original series, Satan Bizor is portrayed as an illusion in Gamu's nightmare, which resulted from a transmission diode placed in his XIG-NAVI during his capture by Σ-Zuiguru. This prompted Gamu to go to Germany and uncover the perpetrator.

Satan Bizor's main attacks are Satan's Kiss (サタンズキッス, Satanzu Kissu), Biss Beam (ビスビーム, Bisu Bīmu) and retractable Giant Claws (巨大爪, Kyōdai Tsume). [48] [47]

Satan Bizor is voiced by Daisuke Gōri (郷里 大輔, Gōri Daisuke) in The Battle In Hyperspace. As Black Gamu, he is portrayed by Takeshi Yoshioka.

Kijuro Mato/Gan-Q

Kijuro Mato (魔頭 鬼十朗, Matō Kijūrō, 31) is a sorcerer that lived 500 years ago prior to the series. Having predicted the arrival of Radical Destruction Bringer, Mato desired its power to rule Japan and transformed into Gan-Q to assassinate those who tried to prepare for its arrival. However his actions were discovered, and he was forced to curse his descendants to inherent his power until the arrival of the Radical Destruction Bringer and committed suicide to avoid capture.

Several months after the original Gan-Q's defeat, Mato appeared in the present and terrorized the city as a battered version of his Gan-Q form while coercing his cursed descendant Shusaku Sawamura to return his powers to him. When Shusaku refused to willingly comply, Mato took it by force and upgraded into Gan-Q Code No.02, nearly defeating Gaia before Shusaku weakened the monster long enough to be destroyed by Gaia Supreme Version.

The Strange Creature Gan-Q (奇獣 ガンQ, Ki-jū Gan Kyū, 6, 31) is a space monster that was once assumed as a form of Mato before his death. This monster is perhaps known for its tendency to insanely laugh and deliver psychological torture to its victim (Gamu) even from distance. Its forms include:

King of Mons

Strongest Combined Monster King of Mons (最強合体獣 キングオブモンス, Saikyō Gattai-jū Kingu Obu Monsu) [lower-alpha 11] was designed and wished into existence by Hiroshi Kashimada after his will corrupted by the Red Sphere. Gamu/Gaia appeared in the midst of its rampage but the Ultra was no match for its strength, further weakened by the arrival of Basiliss and Sculla. It wasn't until Tsutomu wished for Tiga and Dyna to even the playing field and thus allowing Gaia to destroy King of Mons once its subordinates defeated. King of Mons returned 20 years later in The Adventure in Hyperspace novel, wherein it was revived by its three creators as a heroic force to defend their city from Kaiser Gyrares XIII. Unfortunately since the condition was different from their childhood, the King of Mons was easily decimated from Gyrares' attack.

King of Mons' signature attack is Cremate Beam (クレメイトビーム, Kuremeito Bīmu), firing a stream destructive laser from its mouth. Other attacks includes a pair Bone Wings (ボーンウイング, Bōn Uingu) that allow it to fly at Mach 7 or initiating defensive barrier Bone Shield (ボーンシールド, Bōn Shīrudo) and close combat tactics via Bone Tail (ボーンテール, Bōn Tēru) and Shark Fangs (シャークファング, Shāku Fangu) on its abdomen. As a result of Yu Hirama's corruption via the Red Sphere, the King of Mons can summon two other monsters that Hiroshi's friends designed earlier but would can also weaken the monster itself should the other two destroyed.

Kaiser Gyrares XIII

Space Vicious Beast Kaiser Gyrares XIII (宇宙凶獣 カイザーギラレス13世, Uchū Kyō-jū Kaizā Giraresu Jū-san-sei) is a monster that exclusively appear in the 2018 novel, Tiga, Dyna and Ultraman Gaia Novel: The Adventure in Hyperspace. [49] It was created by Shunsuke Kuji as his entry for a monster modeling competition held by toy company Gigantes. After losing the competition as a result of implied nepotism, Kaiser Gyrares XIII was brought to life by the Red Sphere under Kuji's wish, who proceed to destroy an elementary school before disappearing from an attack made by Raputer drones by the Garland Foundation. Five hours later, Gyrares was resurrected in its full power and managed to destroy King of Mons and Gigantes toy company. Takeshi Yoshioka transforms into Ultraman Gaia and defeated the monster with Photon Edge after evolving into Version 2. Not content on giving up, Charija assimilated Gyrares' carcass with the cells of his defeated monster and resurrected it as Demon Gyrares XIV (デーモンギラレス14世, Dēmon Giraresu Jū-yon-sei). It proceed to attack the combined forces of Tiga, Dyna, Gaia, and both generations of GUTS and Super GUTS until Kraakov fired off its shield, giving all forces the chance of incinerating the monster.

Its main weapon is a sword with a shield-hilt capable of reflecting incoming attacks and a mace for left hand. Its signature attack is a beam capable of taking down King of Mons in one shot. Once revived as Demon Gyrares XIV, it grew 3 times larger the original size, followed by a black body coloration and its face transformed into one described as "a demon crawling out of hell".
