Katsumi Minato (湊 カツミ, Minato Katsumi),[lower-alpha 1] born on May 23, 1995,[1] is the 23-year-old eldest son who puts family importance above all else, evidenced by his decision to leave his childhood dream of becoming a baseball player and helps his father's business. Despite his critical thinking ability, he is also hot-blooded and incapable of observing his surroundings when playing baseball with other townspeople. He works as a clerk in his father's specialty shop and has a keen fashion sense.[2] On the day of their mother's birthday, Katsumi and Isami were given the R/B Gyro (ルーブジャイロ, Rūbu Jairo) to transform into Ultraman Rosso and Blu after Grigio Bone's attack on Mt. Ayaka. Initially hesitant, he begins to accept the responsibility of an Ultraman it held and defend Ayaka City from monster attacks.
A year later after Leugocyte's defeat, Katsumi becomes torn in choosing what to do for his future. After getting into an argument with his former high school friend Yukio, Tregear tricked him into being left on Hoster 21 System until the Minato family rescued him as he rejoin the battle. Once returning Yukio to normal, Katsumi handed his former friend his baseball and leaves for Milan to further his study as a fashion designer.
Should both brothers hold the R/B Gyro, they can perceive each other's sense of vision. As Ultraman Rosso, Katsumi adopted his skill as a pitcher through said Ultra's attacks.

Because of his clumsy attitude, he is incapable of expressing his gratitude to others.[2] Alongside Katsumi, he obtained the R/B Gyro during their mother's birthday to transform into Ultraman Blu. Compared to Katsumi, Isami was more open-minded with his newfound powers but finds himself guided by his brother during the fight.
In Ultraman R/B the Movie, the Minato brothers stumbled upon a dimensional-displaced Riku, as Isami teamed up with him when Katsumi became stranded in an alien planet. After the fight with Tregear ended, Isami decided to further his study in California.

The power of Ultraman Ruebe was already prophesied since Saki's original brothers obtain the crystals in Planet Sanja. However, they fail to utilize their power as the brothers fail to synchronize with their younger sister's heart. In the present day, this was accessed by the Minato brothers upon understanding the wish of their younger sister, which they put to use in against Grigio King. The fusion is only inaccessible if both brothers cannot synchronize properly.
Being a Super Ultraman in general, Ruebe demonstrates the ability to withstand Grigio King's Bone Breathter. Once Isami scans the New Generation Heroes Crystal (ニュージェネレーションヒーローズクリスタル, Nyū Jenerēshon Hīrōzu Kurisutaru), Ruebe can execute New Generation Barrier (ニュージェネレーションバリア, Nyū Jenerēshon Baria) by summoning New Generation Ultras to fire their finishing rays and counter their opponent's attack.

Antagonists
Chereza
Spirit Parasite Chereza (精神寄生体 チェレーザ, Seishin Kiseitai Cherēza) is an extraterrestrial life form and the main antagonist for the first half of the series. Chereza originated from another universe and, inspired by witnessing the heroics of Ultraman Orb, came to Earth where he possessed Makoto and studied the R/B Gyros in Aizentech before Mio left with it. When Mio's sons became Ultramen fifteen years later, Chereza deemed them unworthy of the title and orchestrate monster attacks as he abducted several people to repair the Orb Origin Crystal, effectively giving him the chance to become Ultraman Orb Dark. As he lost the Orb Ring NEO after Horoboros' reign of terror and defeated as Grigio King, Saki effectively exorcise him out and trapped Chereza in Aizentech's ventilation system.
Through his own Gyro known as the AZ Gyro (AZジャイロ, Ē Zī Jairo), an imperfect replica of the R/B Gyros, Chereza can summon or transform into a monster via the respective Monster Crystal. His Gyro broke during Gubila's deployment, forcing him to resort to the real Gyro used by Saki. He was also in brief possession of Orb Ring NEO to become Ultraman Orb Dark. At some point of time, he secretly built the Anti-Monster Restraint System within Aizentech headquarters and a King Joe unit.
While voiced by Motoki Fukami, Chereza's younger self is voiced by Miki Ohtani (大谷 美紀, Ōtani Miki).
Ultraman Orb Dark
Ultraman Orb Dark (ウルトラマンオーブダーク, Urutoraman Ōbu Dāku, 8-12)[lower-alpha 6] is a jet-black copy of Ultraman Orb's Orb Origin form.[15] A form Chereza assumes through the use of Orb Ring NEO to become an Ultraman as part of his lifelong dream of becoming a hero like Orb, despite initially using the form to fight the Minato brothers in what he considered a popularity contest. When Chereza assumes the form to fight against Horoboros, the very same monster that he summoned to recover the Orb Ring NEO, he loses it when Saki takes control of the monster with Makoto's body injured in the process.
The Orb Ring NEO allows Orb Dark to initiate finishers of Ultraman Orb's Fusion Up forms by pressing the central button. Once inserted into Makoto's Gyro, he can perform the Dark Origium Ray (ダークオリジウム光線, Dāku Orijiumu Kōsen).

Etelgar is voiced by You Murakami (村上 ヨウ, Murakami Yō).
Saki Mitsurugi/Grigio
Saki Mitsurugi (美剣 サキ, Mitsurugi Saki),[lower-alpha 7] real name Grigio (グリージョ, Gurījo), is the sister of Ultramen Rosso and Blu. All three siblings were originally orphans from the war-torn Planet Sanja (惑星サンジャ, Wakusei Sanja) under tutelage of Bakubarba and raised as thieves and assassins. Of the three siblings, Grigio became tired of her job until she heard the rumors of Planet O-50 in Planet Alcatraz. After a series of encounters by the Balsas Gang, the three siblings ended up on O-50's Warrior's Peak wherein their mutual goal of protecting Frau (フラウ, Furau) brings forth their R/B Gyros and Crystals to transform, using it to combat various evil in outer space. Initially distraught that her form as Grigio Bone only spreads fear, she finally gained respect by the Zarra (ザーラ, Zāra) tribesman after rescuing them as Grigio Regina. During their attempt to fight Leugocyte, the trio siblings and said monster were dragged into a wormhole that leads to an ancient Earth as Rosso and Blu sacrificed themselves to protect Grigio. The impact resulted in the fall of Ayaka Star (妖奇星, Ayaka-hoshi) while Grigio abandons her compassion out of grief for her brothers.
For 13 millennia, Grigio wandered around the Earth to plant space trees to reroute her late brothers' energy back to Japan, meeting with various historical figures and returned to Ayaka City in the present day. Saki first reveals herself during the Minato brothers' fight with Orb Dark, taking control of Horoboros in a display of power before she later purges Chereza from Makoto's body and sealing the alien within Aizentech's ventilation system. Saki then becomes the new president of Aizentech when regaining the Grigio Monster Crystal for her own agenda to destroy Leugocyte even if means destroying Earth while attempting to force the Minato brothers not to interfere. After the incident with the King Joe unit, Saki stole the R/B Gyro's from Katsumi and Isami, calling the two fake Ultramen. The two later attempted to get the Gyro's back, but Saki then tried to kill them, believing that they had found the Gyro's and were unworthy of them because they human. But she was proven wrong when the Gyro's protect the brothers from her blast. She planned on using the Earth as a giant bomb to destroy Leugocyte. Despite Katsumi and Isami saying that she couldn't, she believed that it was the only way. But befriending Asahi causes Saki to have a change of heart and sacrifices herself to save the Minato brothers from Leugocyte's beam, passing her Gyro to Asahi before fading away. A year later when Tregear commences his attack on Ayaka City, Saki's spirit merged with Asahi to turn Grigio Regina into Ultrawoman Grigio.
She is in possession of a different color version of the R/B Gyros, which, unlike Chereza's Gyro, can empower Monster Crystals to their full extent. Saki is incapable of transforming into an Ultra but assumes monster forms through Monster Crystals.
Grigio (偶龍爾王, Gurujio): A monster form of her namesake which was her first transformation through the Gyro. Grigio and its later forms only exist as a transformation and therefore remains in different Monster Crystals before being transformed by users of R/B Gyros.
Flame Bone Monster Grigio Bone (火炎骨獣 グルジオボーン, Kaen Kotsu-jū Gurujio Bōn, 1, 7): The first form of Grigio, able to manipulate flames and fire a million degree flame from her mouth in her Bone Breathter (ボーンブレスター, Bōn Buresutā) attack. This crystal was Saki's first transformation in O-50, which she uses to assist Rosso and Blu in protecting Frau from the Balsas Gang. During her early days as Grigio Bone, Saki becomes an alternative to fight for her Ultramen brothers should their energy supply depleted. Saki lost the crystal upon her atmospheric entry on Earth, which lead to Chereza acquire it in the present day, initially using Grigio Bone to wreak havoc in Mt. Ayaka in the events that resulted in the Minato brothers first becoming Rosso and Blu. At some point of time, Chereza transformed into Grigio Bone twice through its crystal to fight against the Ultramen. Although the initial fight did not reach his satisfaction, Grigio Bone was defeated once more in an attack against a local hospital when Isami regains his composure to transform and assist Rosso in the nick of time. Saki reclaims it alongside other Monster Crystals in Chereza's possession after expelling him from Makoto's body.
Bombing Bone Monster Grigio King (爆撃骨獣 グルジオキング, Bakugeki Kotsu-jū Gurujio Kingu, 14, 15): The evolved form of Grigio Bone, armed with the Grigio Barrel (グルジオバレル, Gurujio Bareru) on its back to shoot Giga King Cannon (ギガキングキャノン, Giga Kingu Kyanon) and spew stronger variant of the Bone Breathter. Its Monster Crystal was acquired and utilized by Saki during one of her travels in outer space with her brothers. In the present day, Saki implores Chereza to use the monster as part of her ploy. As Grigio King, Chereza overpowered the Minato brothers until Saki ordered D.R.L.N. to fire the Anti-Monster Restraint System, putting Grigio King in suspended animation. Two days later, Saki purposely had Grigio King released to be defeated when Rosso and Blu formed Ruebe for the first time.
Super Armored Monster Grigio Regina (超鎧装獣 グルジオレギーナ, Chō Gaisō-jū Gurujio Regīna, 23, 24): The ultimate evolved form of Grigio Bone, her signature attack is Erga-Trio Cannon (エルガトリオキャノン, Erugatorio Kyanon), shooting beams from all three cannons on her chest. This crystal was obtained during the siblings' travel to Planet Gion (惑星ギオン, Wakusei Gion), where the Zarra tribes' determination gave her access to this form and first used it to kill Alien Egon "Ciel" and his Barrigator 2. On Earth, Saki used it in her conflict against the Minato brothers and eventually Leugocyte by empowering herself with Monster Crystals and her late brothers' Ray Line energy. After seeing her late brothers' images in the Minato brothers, Grigio Regina sacrificed herself to protect them and reverted to Saki before fading away as Saki. The Crystal and her R/B Gyro were inherited to Asahi as she used it to join Ultraman Ruebe and Geed in against Tregear and Snake Darkness. With the help of Saki's spirit, Grigio Regina transforms into Ultrawoman Grigio.

Her successful fight against the Minato brothers was exploited by the now corporeal Leugocyte to escape and resume its reign of terror.

To do this, he corrupted Yukio into the monster he designed, Snake Darkness and trapped Rosso to Hoster 21 System for his pawn to terrorize Ayaka City uninterrupted.
