Kengo Manaka (マナカ ケンゴ, Manaka Kengo) is the 21-year-old protagonist of Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga, known for being sociable and kind while bearing a sense of justice. Kengo is actually Ultraman Trigger's inner light incarnated into a human, who Reina Manaka discovered during her expedition into the petrified Ultra's ruins as an infant. He spent the remainder of his life raised in the Martian colony, [1] taking on the job as a botanist to study the genetically-modified flower R'lyeh (ルルイエ, Ruruie), hoping to make it bloom one day. [2]
After receiving a nightmare regarding the dark giant and witnessing Golba's attack on the Martian settlement, Kengo merged with the eponymous Ultraman Trigger and moved to Earth, becoming the newest member of GUTS-Select. [3] [4] [5] Kengo would later be banished into the past when Carmeara used her curse to revert Trigger into Trigger Dark. Through Yuzare's help, he created a time loop by convincing the dark Ultra's past iteration into defecting from his fellow members and eventually returning to the present day with gaining access to Glitter Trigger Eternity. [6] In addition to discovering his status as the reincarnation of Trigger's inner light, Kengo swore to protect Yuna after his failure to do so with Yuzare in the past. After defeating Carmeara/Megalothor, Kengo's wish for R'lyeh to bloom came true, but he is forced to be separated from his friends in order to stabilize the Eternity Core by fusing with it. [7] Two years later in Ultraman Trigger: Episode Z, Kengo is freed from the Core when his life started to diminish, but is later dragged into another battle against Rylar, a cult led by Zabil who stole Trigger's powers as part of becoming an Ultraman himself. After the battle, Kengo joins in the celebration with his fellow GUTS-Select members while resuming his life as both human and Ultraman once more.
Kengo eventually left the Earth and returned a decade later in Ultraman Decker, bringing along the Ultra Dual Sword when it guides him towards the titular Ultra and the new generation of GUTS-Select members. [8] [9] Joining forces with his successor Kanata/Decker, the two made their move to fight against the resurrected Megalothor on Earth and finally departing with Carmeara after giving the sword to Kanata.

In the present day, Carmeara uses her spell to corrupt Trigger's husk back to his original form. [6] [1] By the time Kengo returned from his time-displaced trip, Trigger Dark exists as a separate being who is driven to destroy everything on sight; including his former companions and is forced to be defeated by Glitter Trigger Eternity. [6] The dark Ultra survived by having his essence absorbed into Ignis and the treasure hunter acquiring his own means of transforming into Trigger Dark. [81] [80] [73] [79] [1] Despite his merger, Ignis initially has no real control due to Trigger Dark's berserker tendencies feeding his grudge against Hudram, [82] until Akito tweaked the Black Sparklence to negate its side effects. After Hudram's death, Trigger Dark's power is temporarily fused with Ultraman Trigger to form Trigger Truth in order to put an end to Megalothor's reign of terror. [90] [1]
His finishing move is the Dark Zeperion Beam (ダークゼペリオン光線, Dāku Zeperion Kōsen), [6] [1] in addition to a few set of powers that his present self would use. In combat, Trigger Dark can also harness the power of past monsters through the use of their Monster Keys and wielding the original Trigger's Circle Arms. [84] [89]
Following his merger with Ignis, Trigger Dark's vocal grunts are provided by the latter's actor, Kei Hosogai. [96] He is the reinterpretation of Tiga Dark from Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssey. [84]
Ultraman Decker (ウルトラマンデッカー, Urutoraman Dekkā) is the titular Ultra of his eponymous series, who has a passing resemblance to Ultraman Dyna. [97] Decker's true identity is the form of his human namesake who fights against the invading Spheres alongside a group of resistance forces, some of which includes a future Yuzare. When Agams went rogue and brings the Sphere to the past with him, Decker is unable to chase the alien and can only pass his Ultraman powers to his ancestor, Kanata Asumi, in order to fight against the threat of Sphere. [31] [32] The Ultra remains fighting with Kanata until the destruction of the Mother Spheresaurus has him parting ways with the young boy.
Through his human host, Decker is capable of assuming Type Changes to access three forms that suit his combat situations. [98] With the Ultra Dimension Cards accessed by Kanata, Decker can also utilize specific one-time support attacks during his battles. [31] [32] After inheriting the Ultra Dual Sword (ウルトラデュアルソード, Urutora Dyuaru Sōdo) from Trigger, Decker can use it as his handheld weapon, regardless of any Type Change he assume and can channel the powers of Dimension Cards into it. [8] [9]
His grunts are provided by Hiroki Matsumoto, Kanata's actor. Meanwhile, the voice of Decker in Kanata's flashback of episode 15 is provided by Masashi Taniguchi, who also portrays the Ultra's human namesake.
Ultraman Dinas (ウルトラマンディナス, Urutoraman Dinasu) is the purple Ultra who appears exclusively in Ultraman Decker Finale: Journey to Beyond. His true identity is Ultraman Decker at an incomplete state, who was born from the female Lavian of the same name when Ultraman Dyna resurrects her through his power. Together, the two Ultras fought against the invading forces of aliens on Planet Lavie before Dyna left for parts unknown, while Dinas and his host namesake traces Gibellus' forces all the way to Earth wherein the two join forces with GUTS-Select members. Dinas teams up Terraphaser to fight against Zor-Gigalogaiser but both of them were defeated. Dinas is then evolved into Decker when the Lavian namesake and the rest of the GUTS-Select members use their power of bonds to resurrect Kanata from his death, resulting in Decker's return to Earth to finally destroy Gigalogaiser.
Because of the Lavian's peaceful nature as a whole, Dinas is not a proficient fighter but compensates it using his ability to harness the powers of monsters through the Mons Dimension Cards. [103] [104] His finishing moves are Dinalize Burns (ディナライズバーンズ, Dinaraizu Bānzu) through the power of Zetton and Dinalize Thunder (ディナライズサンダー, Dinaraizu Sandā) through the power of Eleking.
Ultraman Dinas is voiced by Kayano Nakamura, who also portrays his human host of the same name.
The Giants of Darkness (闇の巨人, Yami no Kyojin) are members of the Clan of Darkness (闇の一族, Yami no Ichizoku) and the antagonists of Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga. 30 million years prior to the series, they came to Earth to obtain the Eternity Core (エタニティコア, Etaniti Koa), a strong energy substance which can be used to reshape the entire universe. [78] [1] Originally consisting of four warriors, their strongest member, Trigger Dark, defected to support the Terran Protection Team and banished their petrified forms to the opposite ends of the universe. [78] Once all three of them are reawakened and reunited in the present day, the trio made multiple attempts in facing against Kengo and his comrades, either through their sheer strength or the ability to command monsters under their will. [78] [16] [17] [120] [121] Following their failed attempts at getting Trigger back to their side and Kyrieloid placing them under his trance, the team starts to dwindle as Hudram left on his own accord, followed by Darrgon once Carmeara begins to lose grip on her sanity, eventually leaving her as the sole survivor once absorbing their leftover darknesses.
The trio is based on the similarly named team from Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssey . [10] This decision is done due to Ultraman Tiga's past association with his former allies, hence the three giants in Trigger having past association to the titular Ultra as well. [122]
Captivating Warrior Carmeara (妖麗戦士 カルミラ, Yōrei Senshi Karumira) is the gold-colored leader of the Giants of Darkness. [16] [17] [120] [121] Originally in the distant past, she was once Trigger Dark's lover and is scorned over her former lover's defection. In addition to her mission in targeting Yuna/Yuzare for the access to Eternity Core, Carmeara extended her rivalry to Kengo after discovering the youth's involvement in Trigger's defection and for obtaining the Eternity Core. As the series progresses, Carmeara's mental health starts to take its toll as she absorbs Hudram and Darrgon for their attempts in deserting her and finally transforms into Megalothor after gaining access to the Eternity Core, [1] [73] [123] [90] eventually dying in Trigger's arms following Megalothor's destruction once she learns to appreciate the light. A decade later in Ultraman Decker, Carmeara is simultaneously resurrected through Megalothor's assimilation with the Spheres. Through Decker and Yuzare's help, she escapes from the monster and join forces with the Ultra to destroy it before joining Kengo/Trigger in departing from Earth, hoping to find a place where she could lay the spirits of Darrgon and Hudram to rest.
In battle, she can summon either the Carmeara Whip (カルミラウィップ, Karumira Wippu) or the Carmeara Baton (カルミラバトン, Karumira Baton) from her right hand. [16] [17] [120] [78] [90] [1] She can also assume a human disguise while retaining her original powers at a smaller rate. [1] [124] [125]
Carmeara is voiced by Sumire Uesaka (上坂 すみれ, Uesaka Sumire), [16] [17] [78] who also portrays her human form. [124] [125] [1] She is the reinterpretation of Camearra from Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssey, with Koichi Sakamoto noting that his wife (Motoko Nagino) used to be the suit actress of the dark Ultra and saw her as a source of inspiration, hence being particular to the former character. [122]
Herculean Fighter Darrgon (剛力闘士 ダーゴン, Gōriki Tōshi Dāgon) is the red-colored and armored Giant of Darkness who finds enjoyment in fighting, especially in against those he considered as worthy opponents. [16] [17] Darrgon was awakened in the present day by Carmeara to challenge Trigger on Earth after Gymaira's destruction and resumed his team's original goal once Hudram rejoined them. Although his team's main mission is to target Yuna/Yuzare for the location of Eternity Core, Darrgon finds himself conflicted with his mission after his growing feelings for Yuna and his newfound respect for mankind as a whole. [1] Seeing how his group became disjointed from Hudram's treachery and Carmeara's descent into madness, Darrgon attempts to quit, but was brainwashed into fighting against Trigger and hunting Yuna. [73] He was later given a mercy kill by Akito via the Nursedessei, with his essence absorbed by Carmeara as part of her transformation into Megalothor. [1]
Because of his thirst for battle, Darrgon is a straightforward person who prefers fair fight and detests cheating. [78] In battle, Darrgon emphasizes the use of brute strength as his sole weapon. [121] His finishing move is the Fire Beat Crusher (ファイヤービートクラッシャー, Faiyā Bīto Kurasshā). [16] [17] [78] [90]
Darrgon is voiced by Shunichi Maki (真木 駿一, Maki Shun'ichi), [78] previously voicing Alien Gapiya "Abel" in Ultraman Taiga . [16] [17] He is the reinterpretation of Darramb from Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssey. [122]
Agile Tactician Hudram (俊敏策士 ヒュドラム, Shunbin Sakushi Hyudoramu) is the blue-colored Giant of Darkness who served as the team's combat strategist, using various forms of tricks while having a hidden brutal side. [121] [16] [17] [78] Although he is the last to appear on Earth, Hudram was awakened at a century earlier than his peers and destroyed multiple planets out of boredom, including Ignis' home planet Lishuria. [1] At some point after Darrgon's reawakening, Hudram targeted Yuna in order to draw out Yuzare's spirit and even enlisted Gazort to his aid, only to be dragged out of the battle by his peers to keep his temper in check. Seeing Carmeara's inability to move past her love for Trigger, Hudram left his companions to act on his own after his failed attempt at usurping control from his former leader. While attempting to harness the Eternity Core for his own ends, he is defeated by Ignis/Trigger Dark and killed once his remains are absorbed by Carmeara to assume Megalothor. [73] [1]
As Hudram is physically weak, he makes it up through his cunning wits and reliance on deception. [16] [17] [78] In battle, he wields the arm blade Dagger Hudram (ダガーヒュドラム, Dagā Hyudoramu) on his right arm and releases the Hudrast (ヒュドラスト, Hyudorasuto) from the weapon. [16] [17] [120] [90]
Hudram is voiced by Ryosuke Takahashi (高橋 良輔, Takahashi Ryōsuke), [16] [17] [78] who previously voiced Samurai・Calibur from SSSS.Gridman . [126] He is the reinterpretation of Hudra from Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssey. [122]
The Kingdom (ザ・キングダム, Za Kingudamu) is an organization that first appeared in Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy. Parallel to the residents of the Land of Light, the Absolutians (アブソリューティアン, Abusoryūtian) race are aliens native to their central planet, who evolved into their current gold-colored form after being exposed to the Cascade Rays (カスケード光線, Kasukēdo Kōsen). Despite the energy's massive strength, their inability to control it leads to a slow destruction of their home world, hence their necessity to take the Land of Light as their replacement planet and eventually leading to their upcoming war with the latter planet's Ultras. [24] After losing Yullian as their hostage and suffering from a massive lost during both parties' fight on Planet Blizzard, The Kingdom temporarily ceases their war against the Land of Light and resort to covert operations.
The Absolutian race in general has their body property consist of Absolute Particles (アブソリュート粒子, Abusoryūto Ryūshi), which gives off high energy readings within the vicinity of their presence.
First appearing in The Absolute Conspiracy, Ultimate Life Form Absolute Tartarus (究極生命体 アブソリュートタルタロス, Kyūkyoku Seimei-tai Abusoryūto Tarutarosu) is The Kingdom's strategist who has the ability to use the dimensional pocket Narak as his means of transportation. [1] As the de jure leader of the team, Tartarus answers to an unseen ruler, who the Absolutians refer to as their lord.
Exactly after the events The Absolute Conspiracy, Tartarus continues to strengthen The Kingdom's forces while crippling any threats that may pose as potential allies to the Ultras. After failing to prevent the Ultras from rescuing Yullian and losing a majority of his forces, he attempts to obliterate the Ultras along with his leading forces on Planet Blizzard, but the intervention of Ultraman King caused him, Diavolo and Ribut to be dragged into a black hole to the world where events of Ultraman Trigger is taking place. Tartarus initially hatched a plan to acquire the Eternity Core's power for The Kingdom's use, but Diavolo's defeat and Ribut's meddling forced him to abandon the idea and resuming his war with the Ultras. [6] [1]
Junichi Suwabe (諏訪部 順一, Suwabe Jun'ichi) and Walter Roberts reprise their voice role as Absolute Tartarus in Japanese and English dub respectively. [15]
Ultimate Life Form Absolute Diavolo (究極生命体 アブソリュートディアボロ, Kyūkyoku Seimei-tai Abusoryūto Diaboro) is a member of the Absolutian race who is trained in the ways of Cosmo Beast Style, particularly Alude's techniques. [20] [21] To obtain the knowledge of said martial art, Diavolo collaborates with the Magma Invasion Army and assumed the identity of martial artist Dias (ディアス, Diasu) to slip in as a fellow student to Regulos. By the time the Magma Invasion Army invades Planet D60, Diavolo shows his true colors and kills Alude and Spica. He also torments the captured Regulos out of spite.
When a convoy of Ultras storm the Absolutians' home planet and freed their captives, Diavolo fought against Regulos and is defeated when the Ultra and the Leo Brothers combine the powers of Cosmo Beast Style against the former. Diavolo's heart was later dragged alongside Tartarus and Ribut into a black hole and transported to the world where events of Ultraman Trigger taking place. Intending to fulfill Tartarus' plan in harnessing the Eternity Core, [6] a resurrected Diavolo fought and almost succeeded by draining it from Glitter Trigger Eternity before Ribut interfered in the former's operation. His energies were stolen by GUTS-Select to activate Nursedessei's Battle Mode and was defeated again by the former team and both Ultras' combined attacks. Tartarus revived him once more, forcing The Kingdom to abandon their operation on Earth.
Being an Absolutian, Diavolo has the same powerset and as strong as Tartarus. [21] As a practitioner of Cosmo Beast Style, with his finishing move being the Juggernaut Charging Buffalo Strike (剛力破牛拳, Gōriki Hagyū-ken). [20] [22] [29] [30] [1] Upon destruction, Diavolo can regenerate himself for as long as his Absolute Heart (アブソリュートハート, Abusoryūto Hāto) remains intact. [1]
Absolute Diavolo is voiced by Teruaki Ogawa (小川 輝晃, Ogawa Teruaki) in Japanese, [20] [21] and by Dennis Falt in English respectively. [15] As Dias, Diavolo is voiced by Akira Ishida (石田 彰, Ishida Akira) in Japanese, [127] [128] and by Michael Rhys in English respectively.

After Gina Spectre's death, Tartarus assigned Titan to Planet Babel (惑星バベル, Wakusei Baberu) to find and destroy Ultraman Noa, but a commotion with the Ultra Force led to his encounter with Ultraman Ribut, wherein both warriors earned each other's mutual respect. Despite Noa's conviction for the Ultras and Absolutians to form a truce, a rhetoric that is repeated in his confrontation with Ribut on Planet Blizzard, Titan rejected it under The Kingdom's need for his race to survive and postponing their fight out of frustration.
Absolute Titan is voiced by Hiroki Yasumoto (安元 洋貴, Yasumoto Hiroki) in Japanese. [129] [130] In the English dub, he is voiced by Bob Werley in prologue and Douglas Kirk in subsequent episodes. [15]
Evil God Megalothor (邪神 メガロゾーア, Jashin Megarozōa) is Carmeara's monster form in Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga that she created by absorbing her comrades' essence and tapping into the Eternity Core's power in the process. In its initial fight with both Trigger and Trigger Dark, Megalothor absorbed their attacks to empower itself, eventually evolving to its second form within three days. Guided by Carmeara's resentment towards Kengo/Trigger, Megalothor chases after him in Nursedessei and eventually defeated when Kengo transforms into Trigger Truth to tap into the power of Eternity Core. A decade later in Ultraman Decker, remnants of Megalothor's darkness merged with the Spheres to resurrect itself, subverting their will and resumes its rampaging spree by fighting Decker and the returned Trigger. With Carmeara purged out of the monster, Megalothor is rendered its own entity and is destroyed by the Ultras' combined forces.
Throughout its appearance, Megalothor changes forms through its ability of absorption:
Rylar (ライラー, Rairā) is a cult that worships the Ultra Ancient Civilization and the antagonist faction of Ultraman Trigger: Episode Z. Preaching the concept of light itself, they desire said power in order to reshape the world to their own image and has intruded multiple ancient ruins after sensing Kengo's plight. [89] Initially cooperating with GUTS-Select to revive Kengo, they later allied with Celebro to steal the powers of Ultraman Trigger for Zabil to become Evil Trigger. Aside from Rylar Ibra, the rest of the cultists were killed after being absorbed by Zabil to facilitate the Evil Trigger transformation.
Zabil (ザビル, Zabiru) is the true leader of Rylar and the main antagonist of Episode Z. [135] Hailing from 30 million years prior during the Giants of Darkness' invasion on Earth, Zabil was once a member of the Terran Protection Team who fought alongside Yuzare as the team's scientist in against their invaders. When Yuzare sacrificed herself to empower the recently-defected Ultraman Trigger, he fell into despair after assuming that all of his comrades' sacrifice were in vain. [89] Anticipating the return of the dark giants, Zabil set up a string of events that leads to the entirety of Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga by slipping into the ranks of TPU as Ryuichi Tokioka (トキオカ リュウイチ, Tokioka Ryūichi) and establishes himself as Mitsukuni's right hand man, acting as a researcher of the Ultra Ancient era while guiding Akito into researching the GUTS Sparklence technology. [89] [116] He and his cultists also witnessed the exploits of Kengo/Trigger and the latter's sacrifice to stabilize the Eternity Core.
Within the intervening two years, he replaces Tatsumi as GUTS-Select's new captain to fight against the increasing number of monster attacks. [136] [137] [138] [139] [7] [88] Once Kengo has been revived and lost his powers as Trigger, Zabil drops the ruse and has his cultists facilitate his transformation into Evil Trigger, intending to use his newfound powers in leading mankind and ensuring peace with his own terms. [89] The destruction of Evil Trigger resulted with Zabil spending his last breath seeing Yuzare's image in Yuna before passing on to the afterlife.
Zabil transforms into Evil Trigger (イーヴィルトリガー, Īviru Torigā), [140] a white-colored artificial Ultraman in Trigger's image, through the Ancient Sparklence and his fellow cultists as sacrifices with the original Trigger's powers as a conduit. Other than his finisher being Evil Shoot (イーヴィルシュート, Īviru Shūto), [116] Evil Trigger can utilize Evil Giganzer (イーヴィルジャイガンザー, Īviru Jaiganzā) to grow into gigantic proportions by absorbing Ultraman Trigger's powers. [89]
Zabil is portrayed by Yūichi Nakamura (中村 優一, Nakamura Yūichi). [141] [89] Evil Trigger is based on Evil Tiga from Ultraman Tiga. [138] [116] [142]
Rylar Ibra (ライラー イブラ, Rairā Ibura) is the acting figurehead of Rylar during Zabil's infiltration into TPU and is one of Celebro's willing host. He owns a capsule which serves as a beacon to manipulate monsters into his liking, as in with Pagos, Gazort, Deathdrago and Genegarg. After leading the cultists into assisting GUTS-Select in saving Kengo from the Eternity Core, [89] Ibra escaped from his captivity and helps with collecting the scattered powers of Ultraman Trigger's Hyper Key under Zabil's orders. Ibra was spared from being a sacrifice, but was forced to be used by Celebro as its medium in summoning Destrudos to assist Zabil/Evil Trigger in against the Ultras. Following Destrudos' destruction and Celebro's recapture, Ibra's fate remains unknown.
Rylar Ibra is portrayed by Akinori Ando (安藤 彰則, Andō Akinori). [89]
Parasitic Life Form Celebro (寄生生物 セレブロ, Kisei Seibutsu Sereburo) is an alien creature and the antagonist of Ultraman Z who escaped from STORAGE's captivity at some point of time. [141] Arriving in Kengo's Earth, Celebro joins the Rylar cult as part of restarting the Civilization Self-Destruction Game (文明自滅ゲーム, Bunmei Jimetsu Gēmu). Initially jumping from one cultist to another, Celebro then possesses Haruki and took control of Ultraman Z to fight against GUTS-Select and Ignis/Trigger Dark. [89] In the middle of supporting Zabil/Evil Trigger, Kengo manages to help Haruki in expelling the alien parasite, forcing it to inhabit Ibra to transform into Destrudos until it was defeated by the three Ultras. Celebro was later recaptured by Himari, allowing Haruki to return the creature to STORAGE in his home world.
While possessing Rylar Ibra, Celebro transforms into the Annihilation Armor Monster Destrudos (殲滅機甲獣 デストルドス, Senmetsu Kikō-jū Desutorudosu), [114] a monster from episode 24 of Ultraman Z through the use of its corresponding Monster Medal.
Space Floating Object Spheres (宇宙浮遊物体 スフィア, Uchū Fuyū Buttai Sufia) are the antagonist of Ultraman Decker, [31] [32] [65] [66] who previously appeared in Ultraman Dyna. The Spheres were originally creatures from the distant future who seek to assimilate lifeforms on planets with advanced civilizations. Their method of assimilation involves scouts forming a Sphere Barrier (スフィアバリア, Sufia Baria) around a targeted planet, enhancing the barrier by absorbing the planet's energy before Mother Sphere arrives to complete the process. Their presence triggers an alliance between mankind and various alien civilizations to fight back, some of which include the future Yuzare, people of Planet Bazdor, Ultraman Decker and Ultraman Dyna. When Agams defected to the Spheres and time travels to the past, the Spheres follow him in-suit to the Earth 7 years after Episode Z. After isolating Earth from rest of the solar system. [60] [74] [143] the Sphere attempt to and siphon Earth's energy to gradually consume the planet.
With Agams/Terraphaser's cooperation, the Spheres achieved their objective and thus summoning Mother Spheresaurus to Earth in harnessing the power of Eternity Core for its own use. The Spheres are later destroyed when Mother Spheresaurus is killed by Ultraman Decker, freeing any planet under their grasp (both the present day and the future).
Mother Sphere (マザースフィア, Mazā Sufia, 23-25) is the queen of the Spheres who is also their main body and exists by transcending time and space. [147] Due to her nature, the Mother Sphere rarely acts on her own and is called forth to fully assimilate a planet that is under the Sphere's grasp as Strongest Sphere Monster Mother Spheresaurus (最強スフィア獣 マザースフィアザウルス, Saikyō Sufia-jū Mazā Sufiazaurusu). When Agams facilitate the Sphere invasion in the present day Earth and assists the Sphere Soldiers' attempt at enhancing the barrier surrounding the planet, Mother Sphere appears and contemplates to absorb the Eternity Core for herself. Having killed Agams when he tried to redeem himself, she fights against the combined forces of the Ultras and GUTS-Select and briefly assimilating them into her own being. However her targets escape after refusing to discard their free will, targeting her energy core for Decker to deliver the finishing blow. With Mother Spheresaurus' death, the Spheres ceased to exist.
As Mother Spheresaurus, her main ability is to fire an energy beam from the core on its chest and using the crystals on her body to fire multitudes of light beams. [147] Her ability to transcends time and space allows her to traverse between different periods of time and accessing the Eternity Core despite its entrance was sealed prior to the series.
Mother Spheresaurus is voiced by Sayaka Ohara (大原 さやか, Ōhara Sayaka).
Agams the Bazdor (バズド星人 アガムス, Bazudo Seijin Agamusu, Alien Bazdo "Agams") is an alien who poses as the scientist named Yuichiro Asakage (アサカゲ ユウイチロウ, Asakage Yūichirō) from TPU's technology division and is a supporting antagonist in Ultraman Decker. [68] [69]
From Planet Bazdo (バズド星, Bazudo-sei), Agams and his people are one of the many resistance forces who fought against the invading Spheres, but after losing his wife Laelia and seeing his planet doomed to be assimilated, Agams came to the conclusion that the creatures' attack on civilized planets are inevitable, coupled with blaming mankind for all the mess that happened and Decker in particular. To that end, he time travels to the farthest in Earth's past and works under TPU to create Terraphaser. As "Asakage", Agams develops new armaments for them and regularly comes to Nursedessei to deliver said items, as well as guiding them in the use of their mechs during battle. [148] [149] In the midst of GUTS-Select's subsequent battles, Agams launches the DG Plan (DG計画, Dī Jī Keikaku) to create Terraphaser as part of strengthening TPU and GUTS-Select's assets, [67] but in truth aims to use the robot as part of his plan in assisting the Spheres to consume Planet Earth. [68] [69] Agams' ambition is put to a temporary stop when Kanata wields the power of Decker Dynamic Type and destroys both Spheresaurus and Terraphaser, leaving Agams on the run from TPU authorities. After helping the Spheres reaching their objective, Agams eventually redeem himself when Kanata reminds him of Laelia's wish, with her spirit visiting him as well. Having freed the Earth from the Sphere Barrier, Agams dies when Mother Spheresaurus opens fire on Terraphaser's cockpit. He was last seen with Laelia's spirit, watching Kanata after his success in repelling the Sphere invasion before the couple passes on to the afterlife.
Agams' weapon is the Phase Riser (フェイズライザー, Feizu Raizā), a device which allows him to disable Terraphaser remotely and acts as his control device when piloting the robot. It also allows him to access the Mons Dimension Cards as part of strengthening the robot. [68] [69]
