A fallen Ultra warrior. Like Zero, Belial was originally a young and powerful warrior who was banished from the Land of Light after attempting to steal the Plasma Spark. In exile, he encountered the powerful entity known as [[Series/UltraGalaxyMegaMonsterBattle Reiblood]], who corrupted him further with his Reionyx powers. With the newfound ability to command monsters through the Giga Battlenizer, he led a huge army of kaiju against the Land of Light, but was ultimately defeated by [[Series/UltramanLeo Ultraman King]] and imprisoned in what became the planet's moon. But, after being freed by a foolish [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Alien Zarab]], he has begun to rampage through the cosmos once more and is now considered one of the greatest enemies of the Ultra heroes, especially his longtime foe Ultraman Zero and later on his "son" Series/UltramanGeed.

A fallen Ultra warrior. Like Zero, Franchise/UltramanZero, Belial was originally a young and powerful warrior who was banished from the Land of Light after attempting to steal the Plasma Spark. In exile, he encountered the powerful entity known as [[Series/UltraGalaxyMegaMonsterBattle Reiblood]], who corrupted him further with his Reionyx powers. With the newfound ability to command monsters through the Giga Battlenizer, he led a huge army of kaiju against the Land of Light, but was ultimately defeated by [[Series/UltramanLeo Ultraman King]] and imprisoned in what became the planet's moon. But, after being freed by a foolish [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Alien Zarab]], he has begun to rampage through the cosmos once more and is now considered one of the greatest enemies of the Ultra heroes, especially his longtime foe Ultraman Zero and later on his "son" Series/UltramanGeed.Series/UltramanGeed.
Belial has become one of the main antagonists overall of the entirety of the ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' either directly working as the BigBad of multiple instalments or through the legacy of his work infuencing events in various other instalments instead.



* AbusiveParents: While he might feel some pride for him, his treatment of Riku/Geed is not exactly close to low standards for decent parenting, treating his son as a pawn and battery for most of the series and causing him various amount of grief with his actions and their repercussions.
* AdmiringTheAbomination: Seeing Alien Empera's massive power firsthand leaves an unhealthy impression on Belial about power, and helped drive his obsession with getting stronger that led to his turn to evil.
* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:''Series/UltraGalaxyFightTheAbsoluteConspiracy'' reveals that Belial's campaign of death and destruction ending with his defeats at Zero's hands and later, subsequent demise at the hands of his own son turn out to be this when Absolute Tartarus reveals his future to him. The past Belial simply responds by laughing it out and realizes this first hand.]]
* AndIMustScream: He was sealed away inside the moon for ''20,000 years''. Not that it seemed to bother him that much besides a general frustration at not having the ability to achieve his goals.
* AntiHero: During the Ultra War, two members of Alien Empera's army surrender to Belial and Ken, claiming that Empera had forced them into fighting. Ken is ready to show mercy, but Belial promptly shoves him aside and executes the pair. When Ken protests, Belial defends himself by bluntly insisting that they were members of the army that was invading their home.
* ArchEnemy: To Ultraman Zero, being his first and most personal foe, a feeling that Belial returns with all due hatred.
* ArchnemesisDad: Discounting Ultraman Zero, his worst enemy is his own son/genetic clone [[Series/UltramanGeed Riku Asakura/Ultraman Geed]], as Belial serves as the source of Riku's pain and even in death causes him a lot of grief and suffering.
* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: He grew impulsive and reckless enough to try and take the Plasma Spark by force to empower himself in order to compensate for his perceived weakness. This one act was the one that completely caused his entire life to fall apart and sent him down the path of no return.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's been the leader of several groups and in all of them he's always the most powerful of all threats faced by the heroes.
* AxCrazy: One of his main traits is his utter sociopathy and raging attitude, taking great pleasure in inflicting pain and becoming a reckless berserker when suficently angered.
* BadassCape: Had one as Kaiser Belial, symbolizing his status as the absolute ruler of his empire and a threat to all of existence.
* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: He saves the Ultramen all the effort of finishing off Reibatos in ''Series/UltraFightOrb'' when the latter turns up alive after barely surviving Orb's ultimate attack.
* BewareTheSuperman: For most of the franchise, Ultras are heroic protectors of the world. Ultraman Belial is an evil one, and one of the most dangerous threats in the universe.
** Likewise as an Ultra he's capable of growing stronger and smarter just like any Ultra Heroes and can use similar power-ups to his good-aligned enemies, making him a rather persistent and almost unkillable foe.
* BeyondRedemption: In spite of his implied desire to go back to his home in the Land of Light and sorrow over his banishment, he simply is too spiteful to admit his fault in his fate and has abandoned the idea of redemption long ago, thus killing him for good is the only way to let him rest and end his threat once and for all.
* BigBad: Of ''Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends'', ''Film/UltramanZeroTheRevengeOfBelial'', ''Series/UltraZeroFight'' and ''Series/UltramanGeed''.
* BreakoutVillain: Belial has gone on to become a very iconic part of the entire ''Ultra Series'', allowing him to reappear even after his final death in various stage shows and even become one of the protagonists of the ''Darkness Heels'' project, which includes the manga ''Manga/DarknessHeelsLili''.
* CantCatchUp: After Ken unlocks his potential with the Ultra Sword during his duel with Alien Empera, he starts to become more powerful than Belial himself. As the gap grows wider, Belial becomes more and more bitter eventually leading to trying to empower himself with the Plasma Spark which followed suit with his banishment from the Land of Light and merge with Rayblood.
* CardCarryingVillain: After his corruption Belial doesn't even try to mask the fact that he's a remorseless evil and cruel bastard, delighting in his actions without much of a pretense of doing it for any reason besides personal gratification.
* TheChessmaster: His plan in ''Series/UltramanGeed'', It apparently involves collecting the Ultra Capsules, and it doesn't matter if it's [[HeadsIWinTailsYouLose Kei or his own son Riku doing the collecting.]]
* ClassicVillain: He carries many of the classic sins as his main motivators and personality traits: greedy, jealous, pride and even lust when he pined after Marie.
* ColorMotifs: Red, black, orange and yellow. He temporarily adds green to the mixture in his tenure as Kaiser Belial due to association with the Emeralds of Planet Esmeralda but loses them afterwards
* ControlFreak: Belial is very obsessed with having absolute control over not only himself but also everything else and tends to lose his composture when things don't go according to plan. Even before his turn to evil, he had hints of this trait in regards to his desire for power and recognition.
* CoolShip: The Malebrandes, his base of operations in ''Revenge of Belial'', is a planet-sized spaceship that can attach itself to entire planets and has many factories, launching pads and systems inside to harvest celestial objects and produce legions of MechaMooks for him to use.
* TheCorrupter: His Reiblood genes allow him to channel their malice to turn other living beings evil or aggressive. Even after his death, his body fragments known as Devil's Splinters can drive Kaiju berserk and send them on mindless rampages while forcefully empowering them.
* CreepyLongFingers: His claws are usually normal sized, but when he goes into battle mode they become rather long and creepy-looking. In his return in ''Film/UltramanZeroTheRevengeOfBelial'' his claws gain a red color and become permanently bigger. He returns to having mostly normal claws outside of battle later on.
* CurbStompBattle: He usually finds himself dishing these out, though a few times he was the one on the receiving end:
** During his first attack on the Land of Light he easily trounced Zoffy, Marie and Ken but was defeated with even more ease by Ultraman King, who effortlessly used his telekinesis to immobilize Belial and seal him inside of the Land of Light's moon for a thousand years.
** In his [[Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends return]] he plowed through the entire Land of Light, defeating the Ultra Brothers, Mebius, Hikari and everyone else who fought him with ease. Father of Ultra in return dished out a big one against him, with Belial resorting to attack Ken's injuries left from his battle against Empera to gain the upper hand.
** He later received one from Ultraman Zero, after the latter defeated his 100 Monster Army. When he returns as Belyudra, he instead nearly defeats Zero and the rest of the Ultras and heroes fighting him with ease and requires a massive team effort to be defeated.
** In ''Film/UltramanZeroTheRevengeOfBelial'' he defeats and nearly kills Zero as Arch Belial by overpowering him and draining his lifeforce, requiring Glen Fire to save him.
** In ''Series/UltraZeroFight'' once he becomes Zero Darkness he easily defeats and kills the entire Ultimate Force Zero and in turn his spirit easily vanquished by Shining Zero.
** In ''Series/UltraFightOrb'' he kills Reibatos with a single Deathcium Beam.
** In ''Series/UltramanGeed'' once he becomes Ultraman Belial Atrocious he defeats Royal Megamaster, Zero Beyond and even Father of Ultra with minimal difficulty on his part.
* DarkIsEvil: His color scheme is red and black and he's a malevolent tyrant with plans of conquering or destroying the Multiverse.
* DarthVaderClone: His EvilCostumeSwitch to a black/red coloration after merging with Alien Rayblood, a FallenHero at best, was TheDragon to Alien Rayblood in his first invasion of the Land of Light, a MagicKnight due to his use of Giga Battlenizer to control monsters and an expert fighter at that, and obtaining dark superpowers are all telltale signs that Belial is an Ultraman equivalent to [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]]. His other forms also qualify other aspects of this trope.
** As Kaiser Belial, he has a scar on the right side of his head, the leader of his own [[TheEmpire Belial Galactic Empire]] and while lacking a red lightsaber, Belial substitute this with his claws growing longer and shining red.
** As Kaiser Darkness, he possess the Armored Darkness, thus making the sentient armor as a DarkLordOnLifeSupport of sorts and giving the BlackKnight vibes.
** And to boot one of his biggest enemies is his own son/genetic clone Series/UltramanGeed, who is likewise stated to become a SuperiorSuccessor in the future.
* DeaderThanDead: His spirit gets obliterated by Shining Ultraman Zero in ''Ultra Zero Fight'', outright making him this... At least until Zero turned back time and undid the event and his previous death, restoring his body.
* DeathByIrony:
** Temporary example in ''Geed''. When he fights his son in episode 17, Geed obliterates him using Royal Mega Master, a form he accesses by using his (Belial's) Ultra Capsule in combination with Ultraman King's. Belial only survives by possessing Arie at the last second but would have died otherwise.
** In the finale of ''Geed'' he is kille off for good when his son destroys him with the Wrecking Burst, an attack that employs the combined energies of both his and the original Ultraman's signature beam.
* DemonicPossession: His merge with Alien Rayblood wasn't consentual at the beginning with him screaming in pain as Rayblood gave him his power, but after a while of being under the tyrant's influence he willingly accepted it.
* {{Determinator}}: A villainous example, Belial ''will not'' stop at anything to get his revenge and conquer the Multiverse, no matter the cost or how much he suffers. It eventually gets deconstructed in ''Ultraman Geed'' where we see that his determination to get his revenge has taken its toll on his sanity and person, essentially leaving him a shadow of his old self with nothing but personal vengeance as his motivation.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Often suffers losses because of things he either could not see coming or arrogantly failed to account for.
** In his original defeat, Zero was the key part and was ultimately an OutsideContextProblem up until that point, as Belial had no idea of Zero's existence, let alone knew about Zero's strength which proves enough to destroy his army and defeat him in a fair fight.
** In ''Revenge of Belial'', he did not see Zero obtaining the power of Ultraman Noa coming and neither saw coming that Mirror Knight would help Zero avoid getting blasted too early in his attacks by using illusions to fool Belial, leaving him wide open to be obliterated.
** In ''Ultra Zero Fight'', he wasn't expecting Zero to be able to fight off his DemonicPossession and is completely blindsided by the young Ultra obtaining a new form that allows him to purge the tyrant's spirit out of his body and then undo his teammates' deaths.
** During ''Geed'' he did not see coming that his clone and intended pawn would grow a mind and will of his own, eventually coming to oppose him. Nor he saw coming that his son's bonds and kindness would eventually lead to his victory against him.
* DontYouDarePityMe: He does not take kindly to other people pitying him or feeling empathy for his past, responding with violence to people's attempts at understanding him.
* DragonAscendant: Was originally a pawn of Reiblood during his original rampage and acted out on the advice of his spiritual source of power. By the time he escapes his prison, Reiblood's spirit is all but stated to be DeaderThanDead and thus Belial becomes the main threat to the Multiverse all on his own, though ''Geed'' implies that his actions were still driven by Reiblood's influence to some degree, better shown by [[spoiler:Reiblood's spirit being purged out of his body by Geed in the finale]].
* TheDreaded: Ever since his fall from grace Belial has made a fearsome reputation for himself, with even Father of Ultra dreading his return. His minions tend to be terrified of his wrath and innocents caught in his plans learn very quickly to be afraid of him. Even Zero, his personal nemesis who's beaten him several times, considers Belial his greatest fear.
* DrivenByEnvy: Belial's fall to evil started with him being jealous over Ken being promoted after defeating Empera and proceeding to grow stronger than himself in addition to winning the heart of Ultrawoman Marie, who he pinned after.
* TheEmperor: In ''Revenge of Belial'' he is elevated to this status after founding the Belial Galactic Empire and conquering many galaxies as part of his larger plan to rule over the Multiverse.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: Belial doesn't seems to mind who works for him as long as they do a good job, he's had many kinds of aliens serving him over the years including those from species that are sworn enemies of the Ultras and the human-like Kei Fukuide. However he is narcissist that views everyone else as beneath him, so it's not really out of a lack of prejudice.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Seconds after being freed from his thousand-year prison by Alien Zarab and given back his Giga Battle Nizer, the first thing Belial does is to [[UngratefulBastard murder]] the alien that freed him just for suggesting that they team up to conquer the universe and boasts that only [[ICanRuleAlone he]] can take over.
* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: His son, Riku seems to harbor a degree of love for him, hugging Belial after witnessing his memories of all the pain he's had in his many battles and resurrections, having a rather pained expression after killing Belial for good, and then wishing for Belial to rest in peace and trying unsuccessfully to get [[Series/UltramanZ Celebro]] to stop using his father's remains for his experiments and creations.
** In a minor note, his previous friends Ken/Father of Ultra and Marie/Mother of Ultra seemed distressed to watch him destroy their home and tried reasoning with him when he first attacked the Land of Light in revenge. Too bad he was too far gone to listen to them at that point.
* EvilFormerFriend: Was once Ken/Father of Ultra and Marie/Mother of Ultra's closest friend and even held feelings for the latter, until Ken's growing power, ascension to commander of the Garrison and winning Marie's heart drove him to resent them and eventually see them as enemies after his exile from the Land of Light.
* EvilIsHammy: Belial is not shy about chewing the scenery once he cuts loose or even beforehand, he also gets very expressive in battle.
* EvilIsPetty: Belial won't miss a chance to make his opponents suffer for perceived slights as much as possible, even if he has to target innocents whose only connection to him are their association with his foes. Even if it's a lowly Pigmon.
* EvilLaugh: Belial never misses the chance to let out devilish laughs at appropriate moments when he succeeds or when he's sadistically enjoying his evil actions.
* EvilOldFolks: In the present day he's essentially an angry old man who's held on to his grudge against those who he felt wronged him for thousands of years, he also regards most of his younger foes as foolish childs or pesky teens compared to him.
* EvilPlan: He never appears without one.
** In ''Ultra Galaxy Legends'' his plan was to freeze the Land of Light by stealing the Plasma Spark, use the aforementioned artifact to resurrect his 100 Monster Army, send out an Alien Shaplay to eliminate survivors of his raid on [=M78=] and follow by taking over the Universe unopposed with his army.
** In ''Revenge of Belial'' he instead plots to destroy the Land of Light by creating special robotic forces with the powerful emeralds from a different dimension and then take over the whole Multiverse with his forces.
** ''Ultra Fight Zero'' has him ordering the Darkness Five to lure Zero into a trap meant to have Belial take over the former Ultra's body so he can remain on the physical plane and rebuild his empire to his former glory to continue his conquests.
** ''Geed'' has him sending out Kei Fukuide to gather Ultraman King's energy contained in the Childhood Energy and Capsules scattered throughout the Universe so as to empower himself with the old man's energy and not only attaining even more power than before but also taking out King forever by assimilating his scattered power in the process.
* TheExile: Was banished from the Land of Light for trying to steal the Plasma Spark out of a desire to get more powerful, which could've plunged the Land of Light into an eternal winter. Though he initially seemed to have come to hate his former home, ''Geed'' hints that he still longs for his home.
* {{Expy}}: Due to his overall design and aesthetics in his ultra form as well as their general quests for power and destruction, Belial could be seen as the Nebula M78 equivalent to [[Series/UltramanNexus Dark Zagi]].
** He's even more of an Expy of the very first true evil Ultra, Heller from ''Anime/TheUltraman'', who was also once an Ultra that fought for justice, but was banished for his lust for power, gave up his identity as an Ultra of Light and amassed a galactic empire to get revenge on his former allies and friends.
** Similarly, he is also an {{Expy}} of Thunder Arrow another evil Ultra from the manga ''Ultra Brothers' Story'', who similarly was banished from the Land of Light and returned with a Kaiju army for his vengeance, even killing Series/{{Ultraseven}} in his rampage before being taken down along with his army.
** His Arch Belial form is heavily based on [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} SpaceGodzilla]], with two crystals on his shoulders and a "crown" with horns.
* FallenHero: Was previously an Ultra that fought alongside Ken, Marie and Zoffy against the forces of Alien Empera, unfortunately his desire for greater power inspired by witnessing Alien Empera's own and jealously towards Ken for becoming captain of the Space Garrison and winning Marie's heart all drove him to try and forcefully empower himself with the Plasma Spark, which led to his banishment from the Land of Light, which itself was followed by him being reached by Rayblood and merging with the ancient evil to become more powerful and conquer the Land of Light.
* FantasticRacism: Belial has a low view on humans, unlike his fellow Ultras he thinks little of them besides being primitive creatures. This prejudice usually extends to other species as well, though Belial won't mind using them as pawns in his plans.
* FatalFlaw: [[spoiler:Ultimately, every single bad thing to ever happen to Belial is the fault of his {{Greed}}, Wrath, or {{Pride}}. He was greedy to the point of trying to steal the Plasma Spark for himself resulting in his banishment. He's too hateful to ever let go of his grudge even when his countless deaths and resurrections do nothing but continually make him suffer to the point of being tired with it all. Lastly, he's far too prideful to ever admit either of the above [[NeverMyFault were his own fault in the first place]].]]
* FinishingMove: His signature and favorite attack is the Deathcium Burst, a stream of dark energy released from his arms forming a cross shape, not unlike the Spacium Beam. All of his forms include a variation of it as their own finishing form, though some fire it from different parts such as Arch Belial who fires the beam from his mouth.
* FusionDance: Overlapping with OneWingedAngel, he'll usually fuse with other beings to achieve more monstrous or powerful forms.
** In ''Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends'' he fuses with all the Monster Graveyard's spirits into the 40,000 meter tall chimera Belyudra, with himself acting as the head and brain of the fused monster.
** In ''Series/UltraZeroFight'' he temporarily merges with the Darkness Armor in a gambit to take over Zero's body via DemonicPossession.
** In ''Series/UltramanGeed'' he fuses mid-series with the Kaiju Capsules of [[Series/UltramanGaia Zogu 2nd Form]] and [[Series/UltramanGinga Five King]] into Chimeraberos. In the finale he employs the [[Series/UltramanMebius Alien Empera]] and [[Series/UltramanGinga Dark Lugiel]] capsules to transform into Ultraman Belial Atrocious. In a minor note, he lends part of his power to his servant, Kei Fukuide, so as to allow him to transform into the Belial fusion beasts, fusing his DNA with the other Kaiju Capsules to create new monsters.
** In ''Ultraman Festival 2017'' he transforms into King Galactron with the [[Series/UltraSeven King Joe]] and [[Series/UltramanOrb Galactron]] Capsules.
* GalacticConqueror: During the first film he aims to be this, starting by destroying the Land of Light, then trying to amass an army of Kaiju to assist him in his goals of taking over the Universe unopposed once the other Ultras are all killed. He expands his goals towards [[MultiversalConqueror multiversal conquest]] in ''Film/UltramanZeroTheRevengeOfBelial'' where he builds a large army in an alternate Universe with the goal of eventually conquering all Universes, starting by destroying [=M78=], as he's already pretty much succeeded at taking the Universe he formed his army in save for a few pockets of resistance that he was in the process of crushing before Zero came along.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Usually his eyes will remain normally lit, but sometimes they will take a notable higher glow, such as in the final scene of ''Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends'' where they lit up to show us that [[NotQuiteDead he isn't down for the count]] after Belyudra's destruction.
* GodhoodSeeker: His quest for power gradually escalates to this, as he seeks to become powerful enough to become a God and rule over the Multiverse unopposed.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: In ''Film/UltramanZeroTheRevengeOfBelial'' he has a few nasty ones left from his defeat in his debut at the hands of Zero. He loses them in future appearances after his original body is completely destroyed and he is resurrected.
* GreaterScopeVillain:
** In ''Film/UltraGalaxyLegendGaidenUltramanZeroVsDarklopsZero'' the BigBad, Darklops Zero, is one of his many MechaMooks who simply found himself in the alternate Universe Zero and Rei visit him, and acts entirely under Belial's protocols once it breaks free of the Salome's control.
** In ''Series/UltraFightOrb'' his resurrection is Reibato's goal and the driving force of the latter's actions. Though he had already resurrected thanks to Zero's Shining Star Drive and finishes off Reibatos himself.
** The posthumous one for ''Series/UltramanZ'', he's been long-dead by then, but parts of his body that he lost throughout his fights became the Devil's Splinters that serve as the driving force of the series' problems, including Z's problems with Beliarok as the sentient sword is ultimately a clone of Belial of sorts and its aggressive and bloodthirsty personality that seeks out the fiercest opponent leads to trouble.
* GrandTheftMe: In ''Ultra Zero Fight'' he takes over Zero by imparting his ghostly essence into him, becoming ''Zero Darkness'' up until Zero explunges him with his Shining Form. He later does this to Arie in ''Series/UltramanGeed'' to survive Geed Royal Megamaster's ultimate attack that seemingly kills him.
* GreenEyedMonster: Once Ken started becoming more powerful than he was and managed to win over Marie's heart, Belial procceeded to grow envious of his friend's success, driving him to a murderous rage and eventually to try and compensate for his own perceived lack of power by taking the Plasma Spark.
* HeroKiller: As one of the franchise's most powerful antagonists, he usually proves his might this way.
** Dishes a massive CurbStompBattle to the Land of Light and comes close to killing them all by freezing the entire planet by stealing the Plasma Spark. In the climax he kills Ultraseven when the latter [[TakingTheBullet shields the ZAP Spacy Crew]] from Belial's attacks while mortally wounded.
** In ''Series/UltraZeroFight'' as Zero Darkness he killed the entire Ultimate Force Zero except for Moroboshi the Pigmon, who is saved when Zero regains control of his body at the last second, achieves his Shining Form and purges Belial out of his body before using the Shining Star Drive to rewind time and resurrect his fallen comrades.
** In ''Series/UltramanGeed'' he did one of these prior to the start of the series in the Crisis Impact, where he once again plowed through an army of Ultra Warriors, defeated Zero and the Ultra Brothers then destroyed ''Geed's'' Earth and nearly the entire Universe. Furthermore, his actions put [[PhysicalGod Ultraman King]] out of commission to prevent the Universe's destruction by scattering his power across it and very nearly kills King for good when he begins absorbing his scattered energy to empower himself.
* IndustrializedEvil: During his tenure as Kaiser Belial his empire was very much industrial-oriented, with him decimating any life-filled planets to obtain their supplies of Planet Esmeralda's emerald ore and with his forces being mechanical soldiers with only a few organic commanders.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: It's heavily implied that deep beneath his egocentrical personality lies a vulnerable, self-loathing and insecure Ultra who compensates for his perceived weaknesses by attaining power through any means. His banishment from the Land of Light also appears to be a legitimate point of sorrow for him, and it's implied that he only scoffs at it due to masking his grief over being banished from his home and deep down really wants to go back.
* ItOnlyWorksOnce: In his rematch wtih Zero when the Ultra confronts him in ''Revenge of Belial'' he shrugs off and overwhelms all of Zero's previous techniques that managed to put him down in ''Ultra Galaxy Legends''. He even lampshades this after shrugging off Zero's firey kick.
->''"That won't work on me."''
* ItsAllAboutMe: Belial's sole motivation throughout his life has been to become stronger and get everything he desires without giving a hoot about anyone else's needs. When he turns to villainy, he views all his servants as disposable pawns and does not return any loyalty given to him by them, killing and disposing of them when he feels like it or no longer has any use of them. To drive this point, his first action in ''Ultra Galaxy Legends'' is to kill the Zarab that freed him and tried to team up with him, as he doesn't likes the idea of sharing any of the glory.
* IveComeTooFar: His final moments imply that this is the case for him, he really just wants to rest from his countless resurrections and go back to his home in the Land of Light, but after all his atrocities he's committed he simply feels that going forward with his villainy is the only way to go, and has no intention of going back to the light anymore.
* JerkassHasAPoint: In the War against Alien Empera, Belial was shown to be merciless and ruthless against his opponents, refusing to spare a single one even when they surrendered, but he was not wrong in pointing out that they were invaders attacking their home and given that many Ultras died in the War his excessive violence in fighting isn't entirely unfounded.
* JokerImmunity: No matter how many times Zero kills him, Belial always finds ways to return and menace everyone again. [[spoiler:It takes being killed inside of another dimension and having his spirit be stuck between dimensions for his death to actually stick for good. And even then an alternate universe version of him ends up supplanting him not long after thanks to [[Series/UltraGalaxyFightTheAbsoluteConspiracy Absolute Tartarus]]]].
* KickTheDog: While the Zarab that frees him wasn't exactly a good guy to begin with, he was rather respectful and polite to Belial, going through the trouble of giving the tyrant his freedom and even his signature weapon and only asked for an alliance in return with no strings attached, Belial kills him for daring to try and suggest sharing the spoils of conquering the Universe in an act of unnecessary cruelty.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Killing a near-dead person that was trying to help resurrect him would be utterly petty even for him, but his victim, Reibatos, wasn't exactly a good guy to begin with so rather than a full-blown KickTheDog, his killing of the Reionics warrior turns into this.
* KilledOffForReal: Geed killed him while between dimensions to make sure even if he ''did'' somehow survive, he's not coming back. Notably this time it appears to have ''stuck'', as his only reappearance since has been a mindless replica of him and the closest he gets to reappearing afterwards is through remains of his body left from all his battles and a sword with his face (that still isn't the real deal and is more neutral than evil). When he ''does'' reappear, it's only due to Absolute Tartarus going back and time and recruiting his younger self before he even ''became'' the corrupted Ultra we know, and thus present Belial is ''still'' dead.
* KnightOfCerebus: Belial lacks any comedic traits and is always presented as a serious threat that can darken the mood of whatever installment he appears in. Notably, ''Ultraman Geed'' is one of the darkest series of the New Generation Heroes and he's the BigBad in it.
* LeaderFormsTheHead: As Belyudra, Belial forms the behemoth monster's brain and commands all its actions.
* LukeIAmYourFather: He's the father of Riku Asakura[=/=]Series/UltramanGeed who initially had no idea of who was his father. Though he himself never has to reveal it to his son.
* MadeOfEvil: ''Ultraman Taiga'' and ''Z'' reveal that fragments of Belial's body are evil-inducing artifacts capable of turning Kaiju into mindless berserkers and corrupt living beings. If used to create a clone of Belial or a Kaiju, they'll turn out evil.
* MilesToGoBeforeISleep: [[spoiler:A dark variation: Geed implies after seeing into his mind that Belial is ''tired'' from his endless cycle of resurrecting, but won't let himself die until he's gotten his revenge.]]
* MonsterLord: His Giga Battle Nizer allows him to control up to 100 Kaiju and Aliens, ''Ultra Galaxy Legends'' is the only time where he employs this ability, however.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His name is ''Belial'', a powerful demon that is sometimes also a name of the devil himself. [[spoiler:His SuperMode is called Ultraman Belial ''Atrocious''.]]
* NeverMyFault: He blames everyone else but himself for his own actions and their consequences, which in turn feeds his ego and desire for revenge.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: In ''Revenge of Belial'' he sends out three of his Darklopses to attack the Land of Light, this one decision leads to Zero tracking him down and eventually screwing up his plans, ending his empire as well.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: Ultimate Zero obliterated him in his Arch Belial form, leaving no trace of him behind, as a result he ends up a revenant spirit and forced to take other bodies to remain on the physical plane.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: When he really feels like it, he can be this as he'll do anything to ensure his opponents are dead or truly unable to stop him.
** In ''Ultra Galaxy Legends'' he isn't content with just freezing the Land of Light as he sends out a Reionics Alien Shaplay (who commands a Black King) with 3 Kaiju (Salamandora, Bemstar and Dorako) as backup to kill any survivors; when ZAP Spacy gets involved and are far away from the Monster Graveyard, Belial sends out an Alien Zetton and Narse to kill them.
** In ''Ultra Zero Fight'' once he becomes Darkness Zero he proceeds to quickly kill off the Ultimate Force Zero's strongest members leaving Moroboshi the Pigmon for last and only taking his time with the little guy out of sick pleasure in killing it.
* NoSell: In ''Revenge of Belial'' he shrugs off Zero's firey kick after blocking it. Even remarking that [[ItOnlyWorksOnce the attack]] doesn't works on him, anymore that is.
* NotQuiteDead: He is very fond of this trope. First, the Ultras thought him dead after Belyudra's destruction, he survived (albeit heavily scarred) and proceeded to plot his revenge, Zero obliterates him in his [[Film/UltramanZeroTheRevengeOfBelial second]] outing making sure this does not repeat, though even then Belial finds a way to persist as a spirit and return in ''Series/UltraZeroFight'' before Zero obliterates his spirit as Shining Ultraman Zero, [[spoiler:though later unwittingly resurrects him when he used the Shining Star Drive to resurrect his deceased teammates]]. In ''Series/UltramanGeed'' he also turns out alive after Geed Royal Megamaster seemingly obliterates him for good mid-series, having possessed Arie at the last second. It ends up finally subverted after Geed kills him in the final battle, as even several series later Belial is still KilledOffForReal.
* ObviouslyEvil: Post-HeelFaceTurn he's shed any outwardly appearance of a benevolent Ultra in favor of an intimidating red/black color scheme with orange/red eyes and long sharp claws along with a slight hunch.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Has plenty of these
** In the years between ''Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends'' and ''Film/UltramanZeroTheRevengeOfBelial'' he managed to go from having no armies or resources as well as being left and stranded on outer space to commanding a galactic-spanning empire along with a much more massive and deadly army than his previous one.
** In-between ''Series/UltraFightOrb'' and ''Series/UltramanGeed'' he caused the Crisis Impact, a massive battle between a new army he made and the Ultras of the Land of Light that ended with him defeating all his opposition and destroying ''Geed'''s Earth before faking his death, only glimpses of it are shown in ''Geed'' and the details of it aren't developed as well.
* OhCrap: In ''Revenge of Belial'' he gets a good one when he realizes that Mirror Knight has fooled him with an illusion of Ultimate Zero, with the real deal being right behind him and about to obliterate him with the Final Ultimate Zero.
* OmnicidalManiac: Belial in his latest appearances shifted his goals from outright conquest to straight-up omnicide out of pure rage over constant defeats.
* OneWingedAngel: Does this practically OnceAnEpisode when his options to win are running out.
** In ''Ultra Galaxy Legends'' he merges with all of the souls in the Monster Graveyard to form the 40,000 meter tall chimera, Belyudra.
** In ''Revenge of Belial'' he becomes the enormous Arch Belial by consuming the entirety of his supplies of emerald ore.
** Un Geed he becomes Chimeraboros by employing the Five King and Zogu Second Form capsules. Later he gets a more downplayed example in Ultraman Belial Atrocious, who remains mostly humanoid but has notable body distortions and a far more ghastly appearance than even his base form.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: During ''Revenge of Belial'' he spends most of his time barking orders at his minions and only takes action once Zero meets him personally.
* OriginsEpisode: "The Divergence" from ''The Absolute Conspiracy'' can be considered this for him, depicting Belial in his youth when he was a regular Ultra and depicting the process of his turn to evil.
* OutOfContinues: He managed to cheat death many times even when it seemed that his end truly had come. ''Series/UltramanGeed'' sees him suffering his FinalDeath when [[spoiler:his son Geed, the titular Ultraman, kills him in-between dimensions in the series finale after a long and arduous, leaving his soul stuck in the limbo and ensuring he can't ever return to life, there's even a ReallyDeadMontage of Belial's past just to make it clear to the audience that he isn't surviving this nor recovering in any way unlike before]].
* OverarchingVillain: Of the ''Franchise/UltramanZero'' sub-franchise and the ''Ultra Series''' "Belial Arc", serving as the BigBad for many of the works taking place between 2009 and 2017 and even being partially responsible for several others where he's absent. He also serves as this to ''[[Series/UltramanOrb Ultra Fight Orb]]'' as his revival is Reibatos' goal, [[spoiler:though he was already alive by then]]. Right after the events of the miniseries he functions as the BigBad in ''Series/UltramanGeed'', where he meets his end. Even then, his influence remains on the following shows, mainly ''Series/UltramanTaiga'' and ''Series/UltramanZ'' where even in death he "inspires" Ultraman Tregear's actions that would stir up trouble in ''Orb'', ''R/B'', ''Taiga'' and the remains of his body known as Devil Splinters, serve as a driving point of ''Z''.
* TheParagonAlwaysRebels: Before his turn to evil he was considered a respectable powerful young Ultra, but being second best to Ken drove him to a jealous rage and eventually set him down the path of evil after he tried to take the Plasma Spark to empower himself.
* ParentsAsPeople: [[VillainRespect He does show some sense of acknowledgement, and even pride, towards his son Geed despite him being a hero that opposes him]] that his servant Kei Fukuide created, that said its [[AmbiguousSituation unclear]] how much of this is genuine pride for Geed as his own person or if its just pride out of Geed technically being an extension of his being. [[BadBoss His treatment of his loyal servant Kei on the other hand...]]
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Back when he was on the side of good he would not hold back or show mercy to his opponents, he defends himself by stating that they were invaders attacking the Ultras' homeworld and killing fellow Ultras, that said he usually did this by mercilessly killing even opponents that surrendered which even Ken found excessive.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Even when left to his own devices, Belial can wreck havoc across entire dimensions with his actions and decimate entire planets in the wake of his conquests. And this is when he's not augmenting himself with stronger forms or using artifacts to spread further ruin. His most notable feats of destruction include almost obliterating Planet Esmeralda in one blast as Arch Belial (only stopped by Mirror Knight's shields being held up by the entire Ultimate Force Zero... And even them stray parts of his beam were still powerful enough to blast apart large pieces of land with explosions big enough to be seen from space) and his Dimensional Erradication Bomb, that threatened to destroy ''Geed'''s universe and implictly all concepts within it, requiring Ultraman King to merge with all of it to avoid this fate.
* PutThemAllOutOfMyMisery: When Geed sees his memories, one of the things he realizes is deep down, Belial is filled with as much sorrow as he is rage over his banishment and is ''tired'' from his countless resurrections, but too consumed by his grudge to ever let go and pass on. Belial makes no attempt to dispute the idea, which paints his [[OmnicidalManiac attempted destruction of the universe]] in a [[TakingYouWithMe rather different light..]]
* {{Sadist}}: Belial takes immense pleasure in making his foes suffer, and he also enjoys the sheer vindication it provides him. He won't waste chances to make people miserable when possible.
* SatanicArchetype: His pride and greed caused him to try and steal the Land of Light's artificial sun for himself, resulting in him being cast out and ultimately sealed away by the Ultra's equal of God, likewise his color scheme is red and black with many of his OneWingedAngel forms all having a satanic feel to them (Belyudra outright looks like the devil; complete with three tails; Arch Belial has devil horns and is monstrous in appearance). Heck, his remains are called the ''Devil's'' Splinters.
* ReallyDeadMontage: Right before his final death in ''Ultraman Geed'' we're shown a montage of Belial's past such as his attempt at taking the Plasma Spark, his exile from the Land of Light, merge with Rayblood, preparation for the Crisis Impact and killing of Reibatos.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Like [[Series/UltramanNexus Dark Zagi]] his color scheme is predominantly red and black, highlighting his status as an evil Ultra. He keeps this scheme even when taking other stronger forms.
* RedemptionRejection: He's given up on the idea of going back to the light a long time ago, anytime someone tries to get through to him or get him to repent he will reject their help violently.
* RedIsViolent: Belial is clad in a bright red complimented with black and he's a violent evil being who enjoys causing destruction and relishes on the act.
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: In ''Series/UltramanGeed'' he is believed dead after the Crisis Impact, only for him to show up alive and well mid-series, having faked his death to go unnoticed by the Ultras while Kei did the job of collecting Capsules for him.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: He keeps coming back this way, thanks to Reiblood's powers even being reduced to a mere spirit can't stop him for long before he finds a way to become corporeal again. The only times where this was actually averted were when Zero obliterated his spirit with his Shining form, though this ended undone by Zero reversing time afterwards and when [[spoiler:Geed kills him between dimensions, leaving his spirit stuck between them and therefore unable to ever return even if he resurrected in some way.]]
* {{Revenge}}: His main motivation throughout all his appearances, outside of ambition, is to get revenge on those who he feels have wronged him. First, he desired it against the Land of Light for exiling him after he tried to take the Plasma Spark, after he was defeated by Ultraman Zero he extended this grudge to Zero for it, in ''Geed'' he also takes the chance to try and get this on Ultraman King, the one who defeated him in his first rampage, nearly succeeding at it by absorbing his energy after getting the old man to put himself out of commission stopping the Crisis Impact.
** RevengeBeforeReason: His motivation is revenge on the Land of Light for his banishment...which was his own fault in the first place. Even as he grows tired of countless resurrections, he keeps going on the account of wanting his vengeance badly.
* SealedEvilInACan: Ultraman King defeated him and created the moon to imprison him in it. He presumably would've been forever imprisoned hadn't he been freed by an [[TooDumbToLive foolish Alien Zarab]].
* ShadowArchetype: An almost literal shadow at that. Belial is actually a reflection of Zero (young, powerful, boisterous and full of potential but is also a power hungry person who tries to touch the Plasma Spark due to a feeling of inferiority and insecurities) and is also what Zero could have been if Seven wasn't there to stop him and sent off to be trained by Leo.
* ShockAndAwe: One of the abilities of his Giga Battle Nizer is to launch powerful beams of energy that take a lightning-like form.
* SlasherSmile: Always sports one of these after his merge with Rayblood, complimenting his already intimidating design.
* TheSociopath: A power-hungry EvilOverlord whose [[AmbitionIsEvil ambition]] knows no bounds, Belial has the hallmarks of a classic sociopath. Let's see... an [[{{Pride}} egotistical]] tyrant who will [[TheUnfettered stop at nothing]] until he gets what he wants, possessing utter LackOfEmpathy and no conscience for his crimes, felt [[EntitledToHaveYou entitled to have Marie]] in his youth because she was a "fine woman" in his eyes, and finally a vengeful and {{sadist}}ic streak to the point he'll lash out at anyone who bruised his ego with murderous intent. All check.
* SoreLoser: He never takes defeat well, as his increasingly unhinged plans and degrading sanity after countless defeats can attest to.
* StartOfDarkness: While being forcefully merged with Reiblood was the start of his reign of terror as a Dark Giant, witnessing Alien Empera's power is the event that sowed the seeds for his eventual action of trying to steal the Plasma Spark and all that followed suit.
* SuperStrength: Comes with being an Ultraman, naturally, in ''Ultra Galaxy Legends'' he shows enough strength to toss Ultraman Mebius from the Land of Light's ground to outer space with the Giga Battle Nizer and is easily able to manhandle almost every other Ultra in a physical fight even when outnumbered.
* SwissArmyWeapon: His Giga Battle Nizer can do almost anything Belial wants it to, from being a long range attack weapon with lazer beams, a good battering tool, employ electric whips to grab and toss foes around, control Kaiju and summon them at will, manipulate deceased souls and more.
* TakeOverTheWorld: After merging with Rayblood, he desires to take over the Land of Light and eventually the Universe.
* TokenEvilTeammate: His VillainEpisode in ''Series/UltraGalaxyFightTheAbsoluteConspiracy'' shows that Belial barely counted as a good guy to begin with when he stood with the Land of Light. To wit, back during Alien Empera's invasion of the Land of Light, he simply kills the Emperor of Darkness' lackeys with no reason, let alone said lackeys having surrendered arguing that they were [[PayEvilUntoEvil invaders attacking their home]].
* TragicVillain: In spite of his atrocities, the finale of ''Geed'' shows that deep beneath all the evil bravado stands a broken and homesick person who's simply too angry at his misfortunes to turn back. It's also implied that his merge with Rayblood wasn't voluntary at first and it's only when he was prompted to attack in revenge that he actually began to enjoy it.
* TrulySingleParent: Geed was created using his DNA and that's about it on his part.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: This tends to be his crux.
** He underestimated Ultraman Zero severely in ''Ultra Galaxy Legends'', being confident that his Monster Army or himself would take him down, he found himself beaten and his army destroyed for his troubles. He doesn't learns his lesson in future instalments, often believing that once he puts Zero on the ropes he's outright beaten him, and predictably ends up losing afterwards.
** He also severely underestimates how powerful his son/clone, Geed, can become as he initially regards him as little more than a battery and even when Belial grows a twisted form of respect for the young Ultra he still regards him as an inferior clone of his. Unsurprisingly, it's Geed who ensures Belial dies for good.
* UngratefulBastard: When he's freed from his prison by an Alien Zarab that is nice enough to even give him back his Giga Battle Nizer and only asks that [[WeCanRuleTogether they]] form a partnership to take over the Universe as a team, his only response is to immediately kill said Zarab and then declare that only [[ICanRuleAlone he]] will take over.
* VillainBall: In ''Revenge of Belial'' he has a depowered Zero/Run at his mercy and even stole his Ultra Zero Eye and holds it in front of him while laughing at his helplessness while he sends his troops to attack the Land of Light. This gives Nao, Esmerana and Jean-Bot time to reach his base, free Zero/Run and allow the hero to recover his strength and transform.
* VillainousBreakdown: Often goes through these when his plans are thwarted or when things don't go as he planned them out to be:
** In ''Ultra Galaxy Legends'' he ends up straight-up furious after Ultraman Zero decimates his 100 Monster Army and takes on the young Ultra Warrior all by himself to try and take revenge, he then grows madder after Zero defeats him resorting to forcefully fusing himself with the sprits in the Monster Graveyard so as to defeat the Ultra Warriors and screams in anger before Zero and the others defeat him for real.
** In ''Revenge of Belial'' he starts out fairly calm, up to and including his [[OneWingedAngel transformation]] into the monstrous Arch Belial at least until Zero is rescued from his grasp and certain death, at which that point he opts to just blow up Planet Esmeralda so as to spite the Ultimate Force Zero and ends up screaming Zero's name in pure hatred as Ultimate Zero obliterates him.
** In ''Ultraman Geed'' he suffers his biggest one, as he loses his composture the moment Geed starts to overwhelm him, growing desperate to claim he's not being overwhelmed right before Geed's 5 finishers destroy his Giga Battle Nizer and revert him from his Atrocious form into his base form. [[spoiler:When Geed tries to reason with him while fighting him in the mindscape, Belial can only scream in anger that Geed does not understand his pain and sorrow before crying out his son's name as he is killed for good by Geed's Wrecking Burst]].
* VillainousLegacy:
** Ultraman Tregear is an unintentional example, as in ''Series/UltramanTaiga'', he was originally an Ultra from the Land of Light, but Belial and Hikari's turn to the darkness caused Tregear to be disillusioned with the Land of Light's so-called image as the protector of light.
** As we found out in ''Series/UltramanTaiga'', Belial's cell still remains at large in the universe, and a particular Alien Chibull used it twice, first synthesizing it to create Skull Gomora and lastly creating a copy of Ultraman Belial.
** In spite of his final death, his legacy lives on in the Devil's Splinters, a malevolent virus that infects Kaiju across the Multiverse, making them go berserk and start rampaging without a purpose. Likewise, other villains end up using them to deliberately make powerful bio-weapons such as [[Series/UltramanTaiga Alien Chibull Mabuze]] and [[Series/UltramanZ Celebro]].
** Furthermore even minor villains get to use his legacy as the Beliarok (a sword made out of parts of his essence) winds up under the use of an Alien Barossa and even Juggler (who's a minor anti-villain/anti-hero in ''Series/UltramanZ'') plots to use it for unknown purposes.
* VillainOverride: He's inflicted this a couple of times in ''Ultra Zero Fight'' first doing it to the Darkness Armor, overriding its personality with his own, then when Zero defeats him in that form, he moves on to doing this to Zero himself, taking over his body and supressing Zero's mind trapping him inside his own body.
* TheVirus: Belial's reionics energy can corrupt other living beings if they enter in contact with it. He can either use his claws to forcefully infect others or his scattered body parts lost in battles can be used for the same purpose.
* WreckedWeapon: His Giga Battle Nizer gets destroyed offscreen after his defeat in ''Ultra Galaxy Legends'', gets reforged by Reibatos and is ultimately destroyed for good when Geed with the power of Ultraman King launches all his finishers at once at it.
* XanatosGambit: In ''Geed'' Belial's original master plan was to set off a gigantic bomb that would either remove King from the picture, or destroy all creation in the ultimate murder-suicide. It worked for the first plan and Belial was able to take King out and start his second scheme, which was to drain King's scattered power to turn himself into a God and take out King for good in the process.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: After his banishment from the Land of Light, he can never go back to it. He tends to act like he doesn't cares anymore, but it's heavily implied that deep down he does long for his home but is too prideful to admit it.

!!Belyudra
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/beryudora.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"A monster made of monsters?!"'']]
A form Belial obtains after fusing with the spirits of the Monster Graveyard following his defeat at Ultraman Zero's hands. It's a massive powerful monster that gives all of the Ultras a hard time, Belial serves as the brains of the beast.

to:

* AbusiveParents: While he might feel some pride ''See [[Characters/UltraSeriesUltramanBelial here]] for him, his treatment of Riku/Geed is not exactly close to low standards for decent parenting, treating his son as a pawn and battery for most of the series and causing him various amount of grief with his actions and their repercussions.
* AdmiringTheAbomination: Seeing Alien Empera's massive power firsthand leaves an unhealthy impression on Belial about power, and helped drive his obsession with getting stronger that led to his turn to evil.
* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:''Series/UltraGalaxyFightTheAbsoluteConspiracy'' reveals that Belial's campaign of death and destruction ending with his defeats at Zero's hands and later, subsequent demise at the hands of his own son turn out to be this when Absolute Tartarus reveals his future to him.
tropes regarding him.''
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Belial's Forces]]
!!
The past Belial simply responds by laughing it out and realizes this first hand.]]
* AndIMustScream: He was sealed away inside the moon for ''20,000 years''. Not that it seemed to bother him that much besides a general frustration at not having the ability to achieve his goals.
* AntiHero: During the Ultra War, two members of Alien Empera's army surrender to Belial and Ken, claiming that Empera had forced them into fighting. Ken is ready to show mercy, but Belial promptly shoves him aside and executes the pair. When Ken protests, Belial defends himself by bluntly insisting that they were members of the army that was invading their home.
* ArchEnemy: To Ultraman Zero, being his first and most personal foe, a feeling that Belial returns with all due hatred.
* ArchnemesisDad: Discounting Ultraman Zero, his worst enemy is his own son/genetic clone [[Series/UltramanGeed Riku Asakura/Ultraman Geed]], as Belial serves as the source of Riku's pain and even in death causes him a lot of grief and suffering.
* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: He grew impulsive and reckless enough to try and take the Plasma Spark by force to empower himself in order to compensate for his perceived weakness. This one act was the one that completely caused his entire life to fall apart and sent him down the path of no return.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's been the leader of several groups and in all of them he's always the most powerful of all threats faced by the heroes.
* AxCrazy: One of his main traits is his utter sociopathy and raging attitude, taking great pleasure in inflicting pain and becoming a reckless berserker when suficently angered.
* BadassCape: Had one as Kaiser Belial, symbolizing his status as the absolute ruler of his empire and a threat to all of existence.
* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: He saves the Ultramen all the effort of finishing off Reibatos in ''Series/UltraFightOrb'' when the latter turns up alive after barely surviving Orb's ultimate attack.
* BewareTheSuperman: For most of the franchise, Ultras are heroic protectors of the world. Ultraman Belial is an evil one, and one of the most dangerous threats in the universe.
** Likewise as an Ultra he's capable of growing stronger and smarter just like any Ultra Heroes and can use similar power-ups to his good-aligned enemies, making him a rather persistent and almost unkillable foe.
* BeyondRedemption: In spite of his implied desire to go back to his home in the Land of Light and sorrow over his banishment, he simply is too spiteful to admit his fault in his fate and has abandoned the idea of redemption long ago, thus killing him for good is the only way to let him rest and end his threat once and for all.
* BigBad: Of ''Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends'', ''Film/UltramanZeroTheRevengeOfBelial'', ''Series/UltraZeroFight'' and ''Series/UltramanGeed''.
* BreakoutVillain: Belial has gone on to become a very iconic part of the entire ''Ultra Series'', allowing him to reappear even after his final death in various stage shows and even become one of the protagonists of the ''Darkness Heels'' project, which includes the manga ''Manga/DarknessHeelsLili''.
* CantCatchUp: After Ken unlocks his potential with the Ultra Sword during his duel with Alien Empera, he starts to become more powerful than Belial himself. As the gap grows wider, Belial becomes more and more bitter eventually leading to trying to empower himself with the Plasma Spark which followed suit with his banishment from the Land of Light and merge with Rayblood.
* CardCarryingVillain: After his corruption Belial doesn't even try to mask the fact that he's a remorseless evil and cruel bastard, delighting in his actions without much of a pretense of doing it for any reason besides personal gratification.
* TheChessmaster: His plan in ''Series/UltramanGeed'', It apparently involves collecting the Ultra Capsules, and it doesn't matter if it's [[HeadsIWinTailsYouLose Kei or his own son Riku doing the collecting.]]
* ClassicVillain: He carries many of the classic sins as his main motivators and personality traits: greedy, jealous, pride and even lust when he pined after Marie.
* ColorMotifs: Red, black, orange and yellow. He temporarily adds green to the mixture in his tenure as Kaiser Belial due to association with the Emeralds of Planet Esmeralda but loses them afterwards
* ControlFreak: Belial is very obsessed with having absolute control over not only himself but also everything else and tends to lose his composture when things don't go according to plan. Even before his turn to evil, he had hints of this trait in regards to his desire for power and recognition.
* CoolShip: The Malebrandes, his base of operations in ''Revenge of Belial'', is a planet-sized spaceship that can attach itself to entire planets and has many factories, launching pads and systems inside to harvest celestial objects and produce legions of MechaMooks for him to use.
* TheCorrupter: His Reiblood genes allow him to channel their malice to turn other living beings evil or aggressive. Even after his death, his body fragments known as Devil's Splinters can drive Kaiju berserk and send them on mindless rampages while forcefully empowering them.
* CreepyLongFingers: His claws are usually normal sized, but when he goes into battle mode they become rather long and creepy-looking. In his return in ''Film/UltramanZeroTheRevengeOfBelial'' his claws gain a red color and become permanently bigger. He returns to having mostly normal claws outside of battle later on.
* CurbStompBattle: He usually finds himself dishing these out, though a few times he was the one on the receiving end:
** During his first attack on the Land of Light he easily trounced Zoffy, Marie and Ken but was defeated with even more ease by Ultraman King, who effortlessly used his telekinesis to immobilize Belial and seal him inside of the Land of Light's moon for a thousand years.
** In his [[Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends return]] he plowed through the entire Land of Light, defeating the Ultra Brothers, Mebius, Hikari and everyone else who fought him with ease. Father of Ultra in return dished out a big one against him, with Belial resorting to attack Ken's injuries left from his battle against Empera to gain the upper hand.
** He later received one from Ultraman Zero, after the latter defeated his
100 Monster Army. When he returns as Belyudra, he instead nearly defeats Zero and the rest of the Ultras and heroes fighting him with ease and requires a massive team effort to be defeated.
** In ''Film/UltramanZeroTheRevengeOfBelial'' he defeats and nearly kills Zero as Arch Belial by overpowering him and draining his lifeforce, requiring Glen Fire to save him.
** In ''Series/UltraZeroFight'' once he becomes Zero Darkness he easily defeats and kills the entire Ultimate Force Zero and in turn his spirit easily vanquished by Shining Zero.
** In ''Series/UltraFightOrb'' he kills Reibatos with a single Deathcium Beam.
** In ''Series/UltramanGeed'' once he becomes Ultraman Belial Atrocious he defeats Royal Megamaster, Zero Beyond and even Father of Ultra with minimal difficulty on his part.
* DarkIsEvil: His color scheme is red and black and he's a malevolent tyrant with plans of conquering or destroying the Multiverse.
* DarthVaderClone: His EvilCostumeSwitch to a black/red coloration after merging with Alien Rayblood, a FallenHero at best, was TheDragon to Alien Rayblood in his first invasion of the Land of Light, a MagicKnight due to his use of Giga Battlenizer to control monsters and an expert fighter at that, and obtaining dark superpowers are all telltale signs that Belial is an Ultraman equivalent to [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]]. His other forms also qualify other aspects of this trope.
** As Kaiser Belial, he has a scar on the right side of his head, the leader of his own [[TheEmpire Belial Galactic Empire]] and while lacking a red lightsaber, Belial substitute this with his claws growing longer and shining red.
** As Kaiser Darkness, he possess the Armored Darkness, thus making the sentient armor as a DarkLordOnLifeSupport of sorts and giving the BlackKnight vibes.
** And to boot one of his biggest enemies is his own son/genetic clone Series/UltramanGeed, who is likewise stated to become a SuperiorSuccessor in the future.
* DeaderThanDead: His spirit gets obliterated by Shining Ultraman Zero in ''Ultra Zero Fight'', outright making him this... At least until Zero turned back time and undid the event and his previous death, restoring his body.
* DeathByIrony:
** Temporary example in ''Geed''. When he fights his son in episode 17, Geed obliterates him using Royal Mega Master, a form he accesses by using his (Belial's) Ultra Capsule in combination with Ultraman King's. Belial only survives by possessing Arie at the last second but would have died otherwise.
** In the finale of ''Geed'' he is kille off for good when his son destroys him with the Wrecking Burst, an attack that employs the combined energies of both his and the original Ultraman's signature beam.
* DemonicPossession: His merge with Alien Rayblood wasn't consentual at the beginning with him screaming in pain as Rayblood gave him his power, but after a while of being under the tyrant's influence he willingly accepted it.
* {{Determinator}}: A villainous example, Belial ''will not'' stop at anything to get his revenge and conquer the Multiverse, no matter the cost or how much he suffers. It eventually gets deconstructed in ''Ultraman Geed'' where we see that his determination to get his revenge has taken its toll on his sanity and person, essentially leaving him a shadow of his old self with nothing but personal vengeance as his motivation.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Often suffers losses because of things he either could not see coming or arrogantly failed to account for.
** In his original defeat, Zero was the key part and was ultimately an OutsideContextProblem up until that point, as Belial had no idea of Zero's existence, let alone knew about Zero's strength which proves enough to destroy his army and defeat him in a fair fight.
** In ''Revenge of Belial'', he did not see Zero obtaining the power of Ultraman Noa coming and neither saw coming that Mirror Knight would help Zero avoid getting blasted too early in his attacks by using illusions to fool Belial, leaving him wide open to be obliterated.
** In ''Ultra Zero Fight'', he wasn't expecting Zero to be able to fight off his DemonicPossession and is completely blindsided by the young Ultra obtaining a new form that allows him to purge the tyrant's spirit out of his body and then undo his teammates' deaths.
** During ''Geed'' he did not see coming that his clone and intended pawn would grow a mind and will of his own, eventually coming to oppose him. Nor he saw coming that his son's bonds and kindness would eventually lead to his victory against him.
* DontYouDarePityMe: He does not take kindly to other people pitying him or feeling empathy for his past, responding with violence to people's attempts at understanding him.
* DragonAscendant: Was originally a pawn of Reiblood during his original rampage and acted out on the advice of his spiritual source of power. By the time he escapes his prison, Reiblood's spirit is all but stated to be DeaderThanDead and thus Belial becomes the main threat to the Multiverse all on his own, though ''Geed'' implies that his actions were still driven by Reiblood's influence to some degree, better shown by [[spoiler:Reiblood's spirit being purged out of his body by Geed in the finale]].
* TheDreaded: Ever since his fall from grace Belial has made a fearsome reputation for himself, with even Father of Ultra dreading his return. His minions tend to be terrified of his wrath and innocents caught in his plans learn very quickly to be afraid of him. Even Zero, his personal nemesis who's beaten him several times, considers Belial his greatest fear.
* DrivenByEnvy: Belial's fall to evil started with him being jealous over Ken being promoted after defeating Empera and proceeding to grow stronger than himself in addition to winning the heart of Ultrawoman Marie, who he pinned after.
* TheEmperor: In ''Revenge of Belial'' he is elevated to this status after founding the Belial Galactic Empire and conquering many galaxies as part of his larger plan to rule over the Multiverse.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: Belial doesn't seems to mind who works for him as long as they do a good job, he's had many kinds of aliens serving him over the years including those from species that are sworn enemies of the Ultras and the human-like Kei Fukuide. However he is narcissist that views everyone else as beneath him, so it's not really out of a lack of prejudice.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Seconds after being freed from his thousand-year prison by Alien Zarab and given back his Giga Battle Nizer, the first thing Belial does is to [[UngratefulBastard murder]] the alien that freed him just for suggesting that they team up to conquer the universe and boasts that only [[ICanRuleAlone he]] can take over.
* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: His son, Riku seems to harbor a degree of love for him, hugging Belial after witnessing his memories of all the pain he's had in his many battles and resurrections, having a rather pained expression after killing Belial for good, and then wishing for Belial to rest in peace and trying unsuccessfully to get [[Series/UltramanZ Celebro]] to stop using his father's remains for his experiments and creations.
** In a minor note, his previous friends Ken/Father of Ultra and Marie/Mother of Ultra seemed distressed to watch him destroy their home and tried reasoning with him when he first attacked the Land of Light in revenge. Too bad he was too far gone to listen to them at that point.
* EvilFormerFriend: Was once Ken/Father of Ultra and Marie/Mother of Ultra's closest friend and even held feelings for the latter, until Ken's growing power, ascension to commander of the Garrison and winning Marie's heart drove him to resent them and eventually see them as enemies after his exile from the Land of Light.
* EvilIsHammy: Belial is not shy about chewing the scenery once he cuts loose or even beforehand, he also gets very expressive in battle.
* EvilIsPetty: Belial won't miss a chance to make his opponents suffer for perceived slights as much as possible, even if he has to target innocents whose only connection to him are their association with his foes. Even if it's a lowly Pigmon.
* EvilLaugh: Belial never misses the chance to let out devilish laughs at appropriate moments when he succeeds or when he's sadistically enjoying his evil actions.
* EvilOldFolks: In the present day he's essentially an angry old man who's held on to his grudge against those who he felt wronged him for thousands of years, he also regards most of his younger foes as foolish childs or pesky teens compared to him.
* EvilPlan: He never appears without one.
** In ''Ultra Galaxy Legends'' his plan was to freeze the Land of Light by stealing the Plasma Spark, use the aforementioned artifact to resurrect his 100 Monster Army, send out an Alien Shaplay to eliminate survivors of his raid on [=M78=] and follow by taking over the Universe unopposed with his army.
** In ''Revenge of Belial'' he instead plots to destroy the Land of Light by creating special robotic forces with the powerful emeralds from a different dimension and then take over the whole Multiverse with his forces.
** ''Ultra Fight Zero'' has him ordering the Darkness Five to lure Zero into a trap meant to have Belial take over the former Ultra's body so he can remain on the physical plane and rebuild his empire to his former glory to continue his conquests.
** ''Geed'' has him sending out Kei Fukuide to gather Ultraman King's energy contained in the Childhood Energy and Capsules scattered throughout the Universe so as to empower himself with the old man's energy and not only attaining even more power than before but also taking out King forever by assimilating his scattered power in the process.
* TheExile: Was banished from the Land of Light for trying to steal the Plasma Spark out of a desire to get more powerful, which could've plunged the Land of Light into an eternal winter. Though he initially seemed to have come to hate his former home, ''Geed'' hints that he still longs for his home.
* {{Expy}}: Due to his overall design and aesthetics in his ultra form as well as their general quests for power and destruction, Belial could be seen as the Nebula M78 equivalent to [[Series/UltramanNexus Dark Zagi]].
** He's even more of an Expy of the very first true evil Ultra, Heller from ''Anime/TheUltraman'', who was also once an Ultra that fought for justice, but was banished for his lust for power, gave up his identity as an Ultra of Light and amassed a galactic empire to get revenge on his former allies and friends.
** Similarly, he is also an {{Expy}} of Thunder Arrow another evil Ultra from the manga ''Ultra Brothers' Story'', who similarly was banished from the Land of Light and returned with a Kaiju army for his vengeance, even killing Series/{{Ultraseven}} in his rampage before being taken down along with his army.
** His Arch Belial form is heavily based on [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} SpaceGodzilla]], with two crystals on his shoulders and a "crown" with horns.
* FallenHero: Was previously an Ultra that fought alongside Ken, Marie and Zoffy against the forces of Alien Empera, unfortunately his desire for greater power inspired by witnessing Alien Empera's own and jealously towards Ken for becoming captain of the Space Garrison and winning Marie's heart all drove him to try and forcefully empower himself with the Plasma Spark, which led to his banishment from the Land of Light, which itself was followed by him being reached by Rayblood and merging with the ancient evil to become more powerful and conquer the Land of Light.
* FantasticRacism: Belial has a low view on humans, unlike his fellow Ultras he thinks little of them besides being primitive creatures. This prejudice usually extends to other species as well, though Belial won't mind using them as pawns in his plans.
* FatalFlaw: [[spoiler:Ultimately, every single bad thing to ever happen to Belial is the fault of his {{Greed}}, Wrath, or {{Pride}}. He was greedy to the point of trying to steal the Plasma Spark for himself resulting in his banishment. He's too hateful to ever let go of his grudge even when his countless deaths and resurrections do nothing but continually make him suffer to the point of being tired with it all. Lastly, he's far too prideful to ever admit either of the above [[NeverMyFault were his own fault in the first place]].]]
* FinishingMove: His signature and favorite attack is the Deathcium Burst, a stream of dark energy released from his arms forming a cross shape, not unlike the Spacium Beam. All of his forms include a variation of it as their own finishing form, though some fire it from different parts such as Arch Belial who fires the beam from his mouth.
* FusionDance: Overlapping with OneWingedAngel, he'll usually fuse with other beings to achieve more monstrous or powerful forms.
** In ''Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends'' he fuses with all the Monster Graveyard's spirits into the 40,000 meter tall chimera Belyudra, with himself acting as the head and brain of the fused monster.
** In ''Series/UltraZeroFight'' he temporarily merges with the Darkness Armor in a gambit to take over Zero's body via DemonicPossession.
** In ''Series/UltramanGeed'' he fuses mid-series with the Kaiju Capsules of [[Series/UltramanGaia Zogu 2nd Form]] and [[Series/UltramanGinga Five King]] into Chimeraberos. In the finale he employs the [[Series/UltramanMebius Alien Empera]] and [[Series/UltramanGinga Dark Lugiel]] capsules to transform into Ultraman Belial Atrocious. In a minor note, he lends part of his power to his servant, Kei Fukuide, so as to allow him to transform into the Belial fusion beasts, fusing his DNA with the other Kaiju Capsules to create new monsters.
** In ''Ultraman Festival 2017'' he transforms into King Galactron with the [[Series/UltraSeven King Joe]] and [[Series/UltramanOrb Galactron]] Capsules.
* GalacticConqueror: During the first film he aims to be this, starting by destroying the Land of Light, then trying to amass an army of Kaiju to assist him in his goals of taking over the Universe unopposed once the other Ultras are all killed. He expands his goals towards [[MultiversalConqueror multiversal conquest]] in ''Film/UltramanZeroTheRevengeOfBelial'' where he builds a large army in an alternate Universe with the goal of eventually conquering all Universes, starting by destroying [=M78=], as he's already pretty much succeeded at taking the Universe he formed his army in save for a few pockets of resistance that he was in the process of crushing before Zero came along.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Usually his eyes will remain normally lit, but sometimes they will take a notable higher glow, such as in the final scene of ''Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends'' where they lit up to show us that [[NotQuiteDead he isn't down for the count]] after Belyudra's destruction.
* GodhoodSeeker: His quest for power gradually escalates to this, as he seeks to become powerful enough to become a God and rule over the Multiverse unopposed.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: In ''Film/UltramanZeroTheRevengeOfBelial'' he has a few nasty ones left from his defeat in his debut at the hands of Zero. He loses them in future appearances after his original body is completely destroyed and he is resurrected.
* GreaterScopeVillain:
** In ''Film/UltraGalaxyLegendGaidenUltramanZeroVsDarklopsZero'' the BigBad, Darklops Zero, is one of his many MechaMooks who simply found himself in the alternate Universe Zero and Rei visit him, and acts entirely under Belial's protocols once it breaks free of the Salome's control.
** In ''Series/UltraFightOrb'' his resurrection is Reibato's goal and the driving force of the latter's actions. Though he had already resurrected thanks to Zero's Shining Star Drive and finishes off Reibatos himself.
** The posthumous one for ''Series/UltramanZ'', he's been long-dead by then, but parts of his body that he lost throughout his fights became the Devil's Splinters that serve as the driving force of the series' problems, including Z's problems with Beliarok as the sentient sword is ultimately a clone of Belial of sorts and its aggressive and bloodthirsty personality that seeks out the fiercest opponent leads to trouble.
* GrandTheftMe: In ''Ultra Zero Fight'' he takes over Zero by imparting his ghostly essence into him, becoming ''Zero Darkness'' up until Zero explunges him with his Shining Form. He later does this to Arie in ''Series/UltramanGeed'' to survive Geed Royal Megamaster's ultimate attack that seemingly kills him.
* GreenEyedMonster: Once Ken started becoming more powerful than he was and managed to win over Marie's heart, Belial procceeded to grow envious of his friend's success, driving him to a murderous rage and eventually to try and compensate for his own perceived lack of power by taking the Plasma Spark.
* HeroKiller: As one of the franchise's most powerful antagonists, he usually proves his might this way.
** Dishes a massive CurbStompBattle to the Land of Light and comes close to killing them all by freezing the entire planet by stealing the Plasma Spark. In the climax he kills Ultraseven when the latter [[TakingTheBullet shields the ZAP Spacy Crew]] from Belial's attacks while mortally wounded.
** In ''Series/UltraZeroFight'' as Zero Darkness he killed the entire Ultimate Force Zero except for Moroboshi the Pigmon, who is saved when Zero regains control of his body at the last second, achieves his Shining Form and purges Belial out of his body before using the Shining Star Drive to rewind time and resurrect his fallen comrades.
** In ''Series/UltramanGeed'' he did one of these prior to the start of the series in the Crisis Impact, where he once again plowed through an army of Ultra Warriors, defeated Zero and the Ultra Brothers then destroyed ''Geed's'' Earth and nearly the entire Universe. Furthermore, his actions put [[PhysicalGod Ultraman King]] out of commission to prevent the Universe's destruction by scattering his power across it and very nearly kills King for good when he begins absorbing his scattered energy to empower himself.
* IndustrializedEvil: During his tenure as Kaiser Belial his empire was very much industrial-oriented, with him decimating any life-filled planets to obtain their supplies of Planet Esmeralda's emerald ore and with his forces being mechanical soldiers with only a few organic commanders.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: It's heavily implied that deep beneath his egocentrical personality lies a vulnerable, self-loathing and insecure Ultra who compensates for his perceived weaknesses by attaining power through any means. His banishment from the Land of Light also appears to be a legitimate point of sorrow for him, and it's implied that he only scoffs at it due to masking his grief over being banished from his home and deep down really wants to go back.
* ItOnlyWorksOnce: In his rematch wtih Zero when the Ultra confronts him in ''Revenge of Belial'' he shrugs off and overwhelms all of Zero's previous techniques that managed to put him down in ''Ultra Galaxy Legends''. He even lampshades this after shrugging off Zero's firey kick.
->''"That won't work on me."''
* ItsAllAboutMe: Belial's sole motivation throughout his life has been to become stronger and get everything he desires without giving a hoot about anyone else's needs. When he turns to villainy, he views all his servants as disposable pawns and does not return any loyalty given to him by them, killing and disposing of them when he feels like it or no longer has any use of them. To drive this point, his first action in ''Ultra Galaxy Legends'' is to kill the Zarab that freed him and tried to team up with him, as he doesn't likes the idea of sharing any of the glory.
* IveComeTooFar: His final moments imply that this is the case for him, he really just wants to rest from his countless resurrections and go back to his home in the Land of Light, but after all his atrocities he's committed he simply feels that going forward with his villainy is the only way to go, and has no intention of going back to the light anymore.
* JerkassHasAPoint: In the War against Alien Empera, Belial was shown to be merciless and ruthless against his opponents, refusing to spare a single one even when they surrendered, but he was not wrong in pointing out that they were invaders attacking their home and given that many Ultras died in the War his excessive violence in fighting isn't entirely unfounded.
* JokerImmunity: No matter how many times Zero kills him, Belial always finds ways to return and menace everyone again. [[spoiler:It takes being killed inside of another dimension and having his spirit be stuck between dimensions for his death to actually stick for good. And even then an alternate universe version of him ends up supplanting him not long after thanks to [[Series/UltraGalaxyFightTheAbsoluteConspiracy Absolute Tartarus]]]].
* KickTheDog: While the Zarab that frees him wasn't exactly a good guy to begin with, he was rather respectful and polite to Belial, going through the trouble of giving the tyrant his freedom and even his signature weapon and only asked for an alliance in return with no strings attached, Belial kills him for daring to try and suggest sharing the spoils of conquering the Universe in an act of unnecessary cruelty.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Killing a near-dead person that was trying to help resurrect him would be utterly petty even for him, but his victim, Reibatos, wasn't exactly a good guy to begin with so rather than a full-blown KickTheDog, his killing of the Reionics warrior turns into this.
* KilledOffForReal: Geed killed him while between dimensions to make sure even if he ''did'' somehow survive, he's not coming back. Notably this time it appears to have ''stuck'', as his only reappearance since has been a mindless replica of him and the closest he gets to reappearing afterwards is through remains of his body left from all his battles and a sword with his face (that still isn't the real deal and is more neutral than evil). When he ''does'' reappear, it's only due to Absolute Tartarus going back and time and recruiting his younger self before he even ''became'' the corrupted Ultra we know, and thus present Belial is ''still'' dead.
* KnightOfCerebus: Belial lacks any comedic traits and is always presented as a serious threat that can darken the mood of whatever installment he appears in. Notably, ''Ultraman Geed'' is one of the darkest series of the New Generation Heroes and he's the BigBad in it.
* LeaderFormsTheHead: As Belyudra, Belial forms the behemoth monster's brain and commands all its actions.
* LukeIAmYourFather: He's the father of Riku Asakura[=/=]Series/UltramanGeed who initially had no idea of who was his father. Though he himself never has to reveal it to his son.
* MadeOfEvil: ''Ultraman Taiga'' and ''Z'' reveal that fragments of Belial's body are evil-inducing artifacts capable of turning Kaiju into mindless berserkers and corrupt living beings. If used to create a clone of Belial or a Kaiju, they'll turn out evil.
* MilesToGoBeforeISleep: [[spoiler:A dark variation: Geed implies after seeing into his mind that Belial is ''tired'' from his endless cycle of resurrecting, but won't let himself die until he's gotten his revenge.]]
* MonsterLord: His Giga Battle Nizer allows him to control up to 100 Kaiju and Aliens, ''Ultra Galaxy Legends'' is the only time where he employs this ability, however.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His name is ''Belial'', a powerful demon that is sometimes also a name of the devil himself. [[spoiler:His SuperMode is called Ultraman Belial ''Atrocious''.]]
* NeverMyFault: He blames everyone else but himself for his own actions and their consequences, which in turn feeds his ego and desire for revenge.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: In ''Revenge of Belial'' he sends out three of his Darklopses to attack the Land of Light, this one decision leads to Zero tracking him down and eventually screwing up his plans, ending his empire as well.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: Ultimate Zero obliterated him in his Arch Belial form, leaving no trace of him behind, as a result he ends up a revenant spirit and forced to take other bodies to remain on the physical plane.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: When he really feels like it, he can be this as he'll do anything to ensure his opponents are dead or truly unable to stop him.
** In ''Ultra Galaxy Legends'' he isn't content with just freezing the Land of Light as he sends out a Reionics Alien Shaplay (who commands a Black King) with 3 Kaiju (Salamandora, Bemstar and Dorako) as backup to kill any survivors; when ZAP Spacy gets involved and are far away from the Monster Graveyard, Belial sends out an Alien Zetton and Narse to kill them.
** In ''Ultra Zero Fight'' once he becomes Darkness Zero he proceeds to quickly kill off the Ultimate Force Zero's strongest members leaving Moroboshi the Pigmon for last and only taking his time with the little guy out of sick pleasure in killing it.
* NoSell: In ''Revenge of Belial'' he shrugs off Zero's firey kick after blocking it. Even remarking that [[ItOnlyWorksOnce the attack]] doesn't works on him, anymore that is.
* NotQuiteDead: He is very fond of this trope. First, the Ultras thought him dead after Belyudra's destruction, he survived (albeit heavily scarred) and proceeded to plot his revenge, Zero obliterates him in his [[Film/UltramanZeroTheRevengeOfBelial second]] outing making sure this does not repeat, though even then Belial finds a way to persist as a spirit and return in ''Series/UltraZeroFight'' before Zero obliterates his spirit as Shining Ultraman Zero, [[spoiler:though later unwittingly resurrects him when he used the Shining Star Drive to resurrect his deceased teammates]]. In ''Series/UltramanGeed'' he also turns out alive after Geed Royal Megamaster seemingly obliterates him for good mid-series, having possessed Arie at the last second. It ends up finally subverted after Geed kills him in the final battle, as even several series later Belial is still KilledOffForReal.
* ObviouslyEvil: Post-HeelFaceTurn he's shed any outwardly appearance of a benevolent Ultra in favor of an intimidating red/black color scheme with orange/red eyes and long sharp claws along with a slight hunch.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Has plenty of these
** In the years between ''Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends'' and ''Film/UltramanZeroTheRevengeOfBelial'' he managed to go from having no armies or resources as well as being left and stranded on outer space to commanding a galactic-spanning empire along with a much more massive and deadly army than his previous one.
** In-between ''Series/UltraFightOrb'' and ''Series/UltramanGeed'' he caused the Crisis Impact, a massive battle between a new army he made and the Ultras of the Land of Light that ended with him defeating all his opposition and destroying ''Geed'''s Earth before faking his death, only glimpses of it are shown in ''Geed'' and the details of it aren't developed as well.
* OhCrap: In ''Revenge of Belial'' he gets a good one when he realizes that Mirror Knight has fooled him with an illusion of Ultimate Zero, with the real deal being right behind him and about to obliterate him with the Final Ultimate Zero.
* OmnicidalManiac: Belial in his latest appearances shifted his goals from outright conquest to straight-up omnicide out of pure rage over constant defeats.
* OneWingedAngel: Does this practically OnceAnEpisode when his options to win are running out.
** In ''Ultra Galaxy Legends'' he merges with all of the souls in the Monster Graveyard to form the 40,000 meter tall chimera, Belyudra.
** In ''Revenge of Belial'' he becomes the enormous Arch Belial by consuming the entirety of his supplies of emerald ore.
** Un Geed he becomes Chimeraboros by employing the Five King and Zogu Second Form capsules. Later he gets a more downplayed example in Ultraman Belial Atrocious, who remains mostly humanoid but has notable body distortions and a far more ghastly appearance than even his base form.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: During ''Revenge of Belial'' he spends most of his time barking orders at his minions and only takes action once Zero meets him personally.
* OriginsEpisode: "The Divergence" from ''The Absolute Conspiracy'' can be considered this for him, depicting Belial in his youth when he was a regular Ultra and depicting the process of his turn to evil.
* OutOfContinues: He managed to cheat death many times even when it seemed that his end truly had come. ''Series/UltramanGeed'' sees him suffering his FinalDeath when [[spoiler:his son Geed, the titular Ultraman, kills him in-between dimensions in the series finale after a long and arduous, leaving his soul stuck in the limbo and ensuring he can't ever return to life, there's even a ReallyDeadMontage of Belial's past just to make it clear to the audience that he isn't surviving this nor recovering in any way unlike before]].
* OverarchingVillain: Of the ''Franchise/UltramanZero'' sub-franchise and the ''Ultra Series''' "Belial Arc", serving as the BigBad for many of the works taking place between 2009 and 2017 and even being partially responsible for several others where he's absent. He also serves as this to ''[[Series/UltramanOrb Ultra Fight Orb]]'' as his revival is Reibatos' goal, [[spoiler:though he was already alive by then]]. Right after the events of the miniseries he functions as the BigBad in ''Series/UltramanGeed'', where he meets his end. Even then, his influence remains on the following shows, mainly ''Series/UltramanTaiga'' and ''Series/UltramanZ'' where even in death he "inspires" Ultraman Tregear's actions that would stir up trouble in ''Orb'', ''R/B'', ''Taiga'' and the remains of his body known as Devil Splinters, serve as a driving point of ''Z''.
* TheParagonAlwaysRebels: Before his turn to evil he was considered a respectable powerful young Ultra, but being second best to Ken drove him to a jealous rage and eventually set him down the path of evil after he tried to take the Plasma Spark to empower himself.
* ParentsAsPeople: [[VillainRespect He does show some sense of acknowledgement, and even pride, towards his son Geed despite him being a hero that opposes him]] that his servant Kei Fukuide created, that said its [[AmbiguousSituation unclear]] how much of this is genuine pride for Geed as his own person or if its just pride out of Geed technically being an extension of his being. [[BadBoss His treatment of his loyal servant Kei on the other hand...]]
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Back when he was on the side of good he would not hold back or show mercy to his opponents, he defends himself by stating that they were invaders attacking the Ultras' homeworld and killing fellow Ultras, that said he usually did this by mercilessly killing even opponents that surrendered which even Ken found excessive.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Even when left to his own devices, Belial can wreck havoc across entire dimensions with his actions and decimate entire planets in the wake of his conquests. And this is when he's not augmenting himself with stronger forms or using artifacts to spread further ruin. His most notable feats of destruction include almost obliterating Planet Esmeralda in one blast as Arch Belial (only stopped by Mirror Knight's shields being held up by the entire Ultimate Force Zero... And even them stray parts of his beam were still powerful enough to blast apart large pieces of land with explosions big enough to be seen from space) and his Dimensional Erradication Bomb, that threatened to destroy ''Geed'''s universe and implictly all concepts within it, requiring Ultraman King to merge with all of it to avoid this fate.
* PutThemAllOutOfMyMisery: When Geed sees his memories, one of the things he realizes is deep down, Belial is filled with as much sorrow as he is rage over his banishment and is ''tired'' from his countless resurrections, but too consumed by his grudge to ever let go and pass on. Belial makes no attempt to dispute the idea, which paints his [[OmnicidalManiac attempted destruction of the universe]] in a [[TakingYouWithMe rather different light..]]
* {{Sadist}}: Belial takes immense pleasure in making his foes suffer, and he also enjoys the sheer vindication it provides him. He won't waste chances to make people miserable when possible.
* SatanicArchetype: His pride and greed caused him to try and steal the Land of Light's artificial sun for himself, resulting in him being cast out and ultimately sealed away by the Ultra's equal of God, likewise his color scheme is red and black with many of his OneWingedAngel forms all having a satanic feel to them (Belyudra outright looks like the devil; complete with three tails; Arch Belial has devil horns and is monstrous in appearance). Heck, his remains are called the ''Devil's'' Splinters.
* ReallyDeadMontage: Right before his final death in ''Ultraman Geed'' we're shown a montage of Belial's past such as his attempt at taking the Plasma Spark, his exile from the Land of Light, merge with Rayblood, preparation for the Crisis Impact and killing of Reibatos.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Like [[Series/UltramanNexus Dark Zagi]] his color scheme is predominantly red and black, highlighting his status as an evil Ultra. He keeps this scheme even when taking other stronger forms.
* RedemptionRejection: He's given up on the idea of going back to the light a long time ago, anytime someone tries to get through to him or get him to repent he will reject their help violently.
* RedIsViolent: Belial is clad in a bright red complimented with black and he's a violent evil being who enjoys causing destruction and relishes on the act.
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: In ''Series/UltramanGeed'' he is believed dead after the Crisis Impact, only for him to show up alive and well mid-series, having faked his death to go unnoticed by the Ultras while Kei did the job of collecting Capsules for him.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: He keeps coming back this way, thanks to Reiblood's powers even being reduced to a mere spirit can't stop him for long before he finds a way to become corporeal again. The only times where this was actually averted were when Zero obliterated his spirit with his Shining form, though this ended undone by Zero reversing time afterwards and when [[spoiler:Geed kills him between dimensions, leaving his spirit stuck between them and therefore unable to ever return even if he resurrected in some way.]]
* {{Revenge}}: His main motivation throughout all his appearances, outside of ambition, is to get revenge on those who he feels have wronged him. First, he desired it against the Land of Light for exiling him after he tried to take the Plasma Spark, after he was defeated by Ultraman Zero he extended this grudge to Zero for it, in ''Geed'' he also takes the chance to try and get this on Ultraman King, the one who defeated him in his first rampage, nearly succeeding at it by absorbing his energy after getting the old man to put himself out of commission stopping the Crisis Impact.
** RevengeBeforeReason: His motivation is revenge on the Land of Light for his banishment...which was his own fault in the first place. Even as he grows tired of countless resurrections, he keeps going on the account of wanting his vengeance badly.
* SealedEvilInACan: Ultraman King defeated him and created the moon to imprison him in it. He presumably would've been forever imprisoned hadn't he been freed by an [[TooDumbToLive foolish Alien Zarab]].
* ShadowArchetype: An almost literal shadow at that. Belial is actually a reflection of Zero (young, powerful, boisterous and full of potential but is also a power hungry person who tries to touch the Plasma Spark due to a feeling of inferiority and insecurities) and is also what Zero could have been if Seven wasn't there to stop him and sent off to be trained by Leo.
* ShockAndAwe: One of the abilities of his Giga Battle Nizer is to launch powerful beams of energy that take a lightning-like form.
* SlasherSmile: Always sports one of these after his merge with Rayblood, complimenting his already intimidating design.
* TheSociopath: A power-hungry EvilOverlord whose [[AmbitionIsEvil ambition]] knows no bounds, Belial has the hallmarks of a classic sociopath. Let's see... an [[{{Pride}} egotistical]] tyrant who will [[TheUnfettered stop at nothing]] until he gets what he wants, possessing utter LackOfEmpathy and no conscience for his crimes, felt [[EntitledToHaveYou entitled to have Marie]] in his youth because she was a "fine woman" in his eyes, and finally a vengeful and {{sadist}}ic streak to the point he'll lash out at anyone who bruised his ego with murderous intent. All check.
* SoreLoser: He never takes defeat well, as his increasingly unhinged plans and degrading sanity after countless defeats can attest to.
* StartOfDarkness: While being forcefully merged with Reiblood was the start of his reign of terror as a Dark Giant, witnessing Alien Empera's power is the event that sowed the seeds for his eventual action of trying to steal the Plasma Spark and all that followed suit.
* SuperStrength: Comes with being an Ultraman, naturally, in ''Ultra Galaxy Legends'' he shows enough strength to toss Ultraman Mebius from the Land of Light's ground to outer space with the Giga Battle Nizer and is easily able to manhandle almost every other Ultra in a physical fight even when outnumbered.
* SwissArmyWeapon: His Giga Battle Nizer can do almost anything Belial wants it to, from being a long range attack weapon with lazer beams, a good battering tool, employ electric whips to grab and toss foes around, control Kaiju and summon them at will, manipulate deceased souls and more.
* TakeOverTheWorld: After merging with Rayblood, he desires to take over the Land of Light and eventually the Universe.
* TokenEvilTeammate: His VillainEpisode in ''Series/UltraGalaxyFightTheAbsoluteConspiracy'' shows that Belial barely counted as a good guy to begin with when he stood with the Land of Light. To wit, back during Alien Empera's invasion of the Land of Light, he simply kills the Emperor of Darkness' lackeys with no reason, let alone said lackeys having surrendered arguing that they were [[PayEvilUntoEvil invaders attacking their home]].
* TragicVillain: In spite of his atrocities, the finale of ''Geed'' shows that deep beneath all the evil bravado stands a broken and homesick person who's simply too angry at his misfortunes to turn back. It's also implied that his merge with Rayblood wasn't voluntary at first and it's only when he was prompted to attack in revenge that he actually began to enjoy it.
* TrulySingleParent: Geed was created using his DNA and that's about it on his part.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: This tends to be his crux.
** He underestimated Ultraman Zero severely in ''Ultra Galaxy Legends'', being confident that his Monster Army or himself would take him down, he found himself beaten and his army destroyed for his troubles. He doesn't learns his lesson in future instalments, often believing that once he puts Zero on the ropes he's outright beaten him, and predictably ends up losing afterwards.
** He also severely underestimates how powerful his son/clone, Geed, can become as he initially regards him as little more than a battery and even when Belial grows a twisted form of respect for the young Ultra he still regards him as an inferior clone of his. Unsurprisingly, it's Geed who ensures Belial dies for good.
* UngratefulBastard: When he's freed from his prison by an Alien Zarab that is nice enough to even give him back his Giga Battle Nizer and only asks that [[WeCanRuleTogether they]] form a partnership to take over the Universe as a team, his only response is to immediately kill said Zarab and then declare that only [[ICanRuleAlone he]] will take over.
* VillainBall: In ''Revenge of Belial'' he has a depowered Zero/Run at his mercy and even stole his Ultra Zero Eye and holds it in front of him while laughing at his helplessness while he sends his troops to attack the Land of Light. This gives Nao, Esmerana and Jean-Bot time to reach his base, free Zero/Run and allow the hero to recover his strength and transform.
* VillainousBreakdown: Often goes through these when his plans are thwarted or when things don't go as he planned them out to be:
** In ''Ultra Galaxy Legends'' he ends up straight-up furious after Ultraman Zero decimates his 100 Monster Army and takes on the young Ultra Warrior all by himself to try and take revenge, he then grows madder after Zero defeats him resorting to forcefully fusing himself with the sprits in the Monster Graveyard so as to defeat the Ultra Warriors and screams in anger before Zero and the others defeat him for real.
** In ''Revenge of Belial'' he starts out fairly calm, up to and including his [[OneWingedAngel transformation]] into the monstrous Arch Belial at least until Zero is rescued from his grasp and certain death, at which that point he opts to just blow up Planet Esmeralda so as to spite the Ultimate Force Zero and ends up screaming Zero's name in pure hatred as Ultimate Zero obliterates him.
** In ''Ultraman Geed'' he suffers his biggest one, as he loses his composture the moment Geed starts to overwhelm him, growing desperate to claim he's not being overwhelmed right before Geed's 5 finishers destroy his Giga Battle Nizer and revert him from his Atrocious form into his base form. [[spoiler:When Geed tries to reason with him while fighting him in the mindscape, Belial can only scream in anger that Geed does not understand his pain and sorrow before crying out his son's name as he is killed for good by Geed's Wrecking Burst]].
* VillainousLegacy:
** Ultraman Tregear is an unintentional example, as in ''Series/UltramanTaiga'', he was originally an Ultra from the Land of Light, but Belial and Hikari's turn to the darkness caused Tregear to be disillusioned with the Land of Light's so-called image as the protector of light.
** As we found out in ''Series/UltramanTaiga'', Belial's cell still remains at large in the universe, and a particular Alien Chibull used it twice, first synthesizing it to create Skull Gomora and lastly creating a copy of Ultraman Belial.
** In spite of his final death, his legacy lives on in the Devil's Splinters, a malevolent virus that infects Kaiju across the Multiverse, making them go berserk and start rampaging without a purpose. Likewise, other villains end up using them to deliberately make powerful bio-weapons such as [[Series/UltramanTaiga Alien Chibull Mabuze]] and [[Series/UltramanZ Celebro]].
** Furthermore even minor villains get to use his legacy as the Beliarok (a sword made out of parts of his essence) winds up under the use of an Alien Barossa and even Juggler (who's a minor anti-villain/anti-hero in ''Series/UltramanZ'') plots to use it for unknown purposes.
* VillainOverride: He's inflicted this a couple of times in ''Ultra Zero Fight'' first doing it to the Darkness Armor, overriding its personality with his own, then when Zero defeats him in that form, he moves on to doing this to Zero himself, taking over his body and supressing Zero's mind trapping him inside his own body.
* TheVirus: Belial's reionics energy can corrupt other living beings if they enter in contact with it. He can either use his claws to forcefully infect others or his scattered body parts lost in battles can be used for the same purpose.
* WreckedWeapon: His Giga Battle Nizer gets destroyed offscreen after his defeat in ''Ultra Galaxy Legends'', gets reforged by Reibatos and is ultimately destroyed for good when Geed with the power of Ultraman King launches all his finishers at once at it.
* XanatosGambit: In ''Geed'' Belial's original master plan was to set off a gigantic bomb that would either remove King from the picture, or destroy all creation in the ultimate murder-suicide. It worked for the first plan and Belial was able to take King out and start his second scheme, which was to drain King's scattered power to turn himself into a God and take out King for good in the process.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: After his banishment from the Land of Light, he can never go back to it. He tends to act like he doesn't cares anymore, but it's heavily implied that deep down he does long for his home but is too prideful to admit it.

* AdmiringTheAbomination: Seeing Alien Empera's massive power firsthand leaves an unhealthy impression on Belial about power, and helped drive his obsession with getting stronger that led to his turn to evil.



* AntiHero: During the Ultra War, two members of Alien Empera's army surrender to Belial and Ken, claiming that Empera had forced them into fighting. Ken is ready to show mercy, but Belial promptly shoves him aside and executes the pair.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Seconds after being freed from his thousand-year prison by Alien Zarab and given back his Giga Battle Nizer, the first thing Belial does is to [[UngratefulBastard murder]] the alien that freed him just for suggesting that they team up to conquer the universe and boasts that only [[ICanRuleAlone he]] can take over.



* EvilIsPetty: Belial won't miss a chance to make his opponents suffer for perceived slights as much as possible, even if he has to target innocents whose only connection to him are their association with his foes. Even if it's a lowly Pigmon.



* ItOnlyWorksOnce: In his rematch wtih Zero when the Ultra confronts him in ''Revenge of Belial'' he shrugs off and overwhelms all of Zero's previous techniques that managed to put him down in ''Ultra Galaxy Legends''. He even lampshades this after shrugging off Zero's firey kick.
->''"That won't work on me."''



* KickTheDog: While the Zarab that frees him wasn't exactly a good guy to begin with, he was rather respectful and polite to Belial, going through the trouble of giving the tyrant his freedom and even his signature weapon and only asked for an alliance in return with no strings attached, Belial kills him for daring to try and suggest sharing the spoils of conquering the Universe in an act of unnecessary cruelty.

* ControlFreak: Belial is very obsessed with having absolute control over not only himself but also everything else and tends to lose his composture when things don't go according to plan. Even before his turn to evil, he had hints of this trait in regards to his desire for power and recognition.
* CoolShip: The Malebrandes, his base of operations in ''Revenge of Belial'', is a planet-sized spaceship that can attach itself to entire planets and has many factories, launching pads and systems inside to harvest celestial objects and produce legions of MechaMooks for him to use.



* DeaderThanDead: His spirit gets obliterated by Shining Ultraman Zero in ''Ultra Zero Fight'', outright making him this... At least until Zero turned back time and undid the event.



* {{Determinator}}: A villainous example, Belial ''will not'' stop at anything to get his revenge and conquer the Multiverse, no matter the cost or how much he suffers. It eventually gets deconstructed in ''Ultraman Geed'' where we see that his determination to get his revenge has taken its toll on his sanity and person, essentially leaving him a shadow of his old self with nothing but personal vengeance as his motivation.



* TheDreaded: Ever since his fall from grace Belial has made a fearsome reputation for himself, with even Father of Ultra dreading his return. His minions tend to be terrified of his wrath and innocents caught in his plans learn very quickly to be afraid of him. Even Zero, his personal nemesis who's beaten him several times, considers Belial his greatest fear.



* TheEmperor: In ''Revenge of Belial'' he is elevated to this status after founding the Belial Galactic Empire and conquering many galaxies as part of his larger plan to rule over the Multiverse.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: Belial doesn't seems to mind who works for him as long as they do a good job, he's had many kinds of aliens serving him over the years including the human-like Kei Fukuide. Do note that he is narcissist that views everyone else as beneath him, so it's not really out of a lack of prejudice.



* EvilIsHammy: Belial is not shy about chewing the scenery once he cuts loose or even beforehand, he also gets very expressive in battle.



* EvilOldFolks: In the present day he's essentially an angry old man who's held on to his grudge against those who he felt wronged him for thousands of years, he also regards most of his younger foes as foolish childs or pesky teens compared to him.



** ''Geed'' has him sending out Kei Fukuide to gather Ultraman King's energy contained in the Childhood Energy and Capsules scattered throughout the Universe so as to empower himself with the old man's energy and not only attaining even more power than before but also taking out King forever by assimilating his scattered power in the proccess.

* FatalFlaw: [[spoiler:. Ultimately, every single bad thing to ever happen to Belial is the fault of his {{Greed}}, Wrath, or {{Pride}}. He was greedy to the point of trying to steal the Plasma Spark for himself resulting in his banishment. He's too hateful to ever let go of his grudge even when his countless deaths and resurrections do nothing but continually make him suffer to the point of being tired with it all. Lastly, he's far too prideful to ever admit either of the above [[NeverMyFault were his own fault in the first place]].]]

to:

* FantasticRacism: Belial has a low view on humans, unlike his fellow Ultras he thinks little of them besides being primitive creatures. This prejudice usually extends to other species as well, though Belial won't mind using them as pawns in his plans.

* GalacticConqueror: During the first film he aims to be this, starting by destroying the Land of Light, then trying to amass an army of Kaiju to assist him in his goals. He expands his goals towards [[MultiversalConqueror multiversal conquest]] in ''Film/UltramanZeroTheRevengeOfBelial'' where he builds a large army in an alternate Universe with the goal of eventually conquering all Universes, starting by destroying [=M78=], as he's already succeeded at taking the Universe he formed his army in.

** In ''Series/UltraZeroFight'' as Zero Darkness he killed the entire Ultimate Force Zero except for Moroboshi the Pigmon, who is saved when Zero regains control of his body at the last second, achieves his Shining Form and purges Belial out of his body before using the Shining Star Drive to rewind time and resurrect his fallen commrades.

* IndustrializedEvil: During his tenure as Kaiser Belial his empire was very much industrial-oriented, with him decimating any life-filled planets to obtain their supplies of Planet Esmeralda's emerald ore and with his forces being mechanical soldiers with only a few organic commanders.



* KnightOfCerebus: Belial lacks any comedic traits and is always presented as a serious threat that can darken the mood of whatever installment he appears in. Notably, ''Ultraman Geed'' is one of the darkest series of the New Generation Heroes and he's the BigBad in it.



* NiceJobFixingItVillain: In ''Revenge of Belial'' he sends out three of his Darklopses to attack the Land of Light, this one decision leads to Zero tracking him down and eventually screwing up his plans, ending his empire as well.



* OrcusOnHisThrone: During ''Revenge of Belial'' he spends most of his time barking orders at his minions and only takes action once Zero meets him personally.



* PersonOfMassDestruction: Even when left to his own devices, Belial can wreck havok across entire dimensions with his actions and decimate entire planets in the wake of his conquests. And this is when he's not augmenting himself with stronger forms or using artifacts to spread further ruin. His most notable feats of destruction include almost obliterating Planet Esmeralda in one blast as Arch Belial (only stopped by Mirror Knight's shields beind held up by the entire Ultimate Force Zero... And even them stray parts of his beam were still powerful enough to blast apart large pieces of land with explosions big enough to be seen from space) and his Dimensional Erradication Bomb, that threatened to destroy ''Geed'''s universe and implictly all concepts within it, requiring Ultraman King to merge with all of it to avoid this fate.

* SatanicArchetype: His pride and greed caused him to try and steal the Land of Light's artificial sun for himself, resulting in him being cast out and ultimately sealed away by the Ultra's equal of God, likewise his color scheme is red and black with many of his OneWingedAngel forms all having a satanic feel to them (Belyudra outright looks like the devil; complete with three tails; Arch Belial has devil horns and is mosntrous in appearance). Heck, his remains are called the ''Devil's'' Splinters.

* TheSociopath: A power-hungry EvilOverlord whose [[AmbitionIsEvil ambition]] knows no bounds, Belial has the hallmarks of a classic sociopath. Let's see... an [[{{Pride}} egotistical]] tyrant who will [[TheUnfettered stop at nothing]] until he gets what he wants, possessing utter LackOfEmpathy and no conscience for his crimes, and finally a vengeful and {{sadist}}ic streak to the point he'll lash out at anyone who bruised his ego.

Added DiffLines:

* UnderestimatingBadassery: This tends to be his crux.
** He underestimated Ultraman Zero severely in ''Ultra Galaxy Legends'', being confident that his Monster Army or himself would take him down, he found himself beaten and his army destroyed for his troubles. He doesn't learns his lesson in future instalments, often believing that once he puts Zero on the ropes he's outright beaten him, and predictably ends up losing afterwards.
** He also severely underestimates how powerful his son/clone, Geed, can become as he initially regards him as little more than a battery and even when Belial grows a twisted form of respect for the young Ultra he still regards him as an inferior clone of his. Unsurprisingly, it's Geed who ensures Belial dies for good.


Added DiffLines:

* VillainBall: In ''Revenge of Belial'' he has a depowered Zero/Run at his mercy and even stole his Ultra Zero Eye and holds it in front of him while laughing at his helplessness while he sends his troops to attack the Land of Light. This gives Nao, Esmerana and Jean-Bot time to reach his base, free Zero/Run and allow the hero to recover his strength and transform.


Added DiffLines:

* VillainOverride: He's inflicted this a couple of times.
** In ''Ultra Zero Fight'' he did it to the Darkness Armor, overriding its pre-programmed will. When Zero defeats him, he then moves on to doing this to Zero himself, taking over his body and supressing Zero's mind trapping him inside his own body while helpless to stop Belial.

* SoLastSeason: His techniques or forms gained in an installment tend to be rendered useless or not quite as effective in a following one.

* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: The Shining Star Drive from Shining Zero allows him to reverse time and even create pocket dimensions, but it cost him a lot of energy, which can tire him out for days.



* FusionDance: In ''Ultraman Saga'', Zero fuses with Dyna and Cosmos in order to form Ultraman Saga, as means of being able to stop Hyper Zetton.



* InUniverseFactoidFailure: Aside from the implication that he didn't attend school, Zero seems to lack knowledges on certain monsters such as Neronga and misinterpreted Sevenger's owner being Leo instead of his crippled (at the time) father. The latter came to bite him when Z failed the entrance exam for Space Garrison because of it.

* TheAce: Zero is practically an ideal Ultra, being strong, powerful, having many friends, has defeated countless evils throughout the years and in various universes and on top of that has managed to save the Multiverse several times over. Though this does [[BookDumb not]] apply to his academic skills, however.



* AndIMustScream: When Belial takes over his body in ''Ultra Zero Fight'', Zero can only helplessly watch as Belial wrecks havoc and kill his teammates with his body. He manages to free himself from this through HeroicWillpower and his Shining Ultraman Zero transformation.



* BigBrotherMentor: Takes this role towards other younger Ultras, particularly most of the New Generation Heroes who all look up to him as a big brother thanks to his mentorship, help and advice to them.



* BookDumb: Zero isn't really "dumb" in the classic definition, but he's got a bad case of preferring to do things in the heat of the moment instead of thinking them through much. ''Series/UltramanZ'' would even reveal that he skipped the Land of Light's school, causing him to not know basic information such as Neronga's invisibility.

* CharacterDevelopment: Zero starts out as a cocky and rebellious Ultra who only understands physical strength and nothing else. After his years of training under Ultraman Leo he grows kinder and eventually wiser throughout his following adventures in the franchise. By the time of ''Series/UltramanZ'' he's left most of his older flaws behind and shows far more skill in leadership and understanding what is it like to be an Ultraman.



* ContainmentClothing: The Techtor Gear was a suit that he wore during his exile, which limited his strength and outright nullified his other Ultraman powers, including flight.



* CriticalAnnoyance: After adopting a human host, he's had to contend with the three-minute rule all Ultras had to face with his color timer blinking whenever his time is running out.



* HeroicWillpower: When Belial possesses him and kills almost all of his teammates, Zero's will eventually lets him explunge the spirit of his nemesis from his body and achieve his Shining Ultraman Zero form.

to:

* DemonicPossession: Suffers this in ''Ultra Zero Fight'' when Belial {{Body Surf}}s into Zero's body after the latter defeats him as Armored Darkness Belial, trapping Zero within his own body and changing Zero's appearance to match his own. Zero manages to use his Shining form to kick out Belial's spirit.
* DimensionLord: As Shining Ultraman Zero one of his powers is to create pocket dimensions in which he can alter the flow of time to either go slower or faster than outside, which can help him when he needs to train someone for months in what would otherwise be a few hours or days.
* GenerationXerox: In ''Ultraman Geed'' he ends up in a similar position to the one his father, Ultraseven, was stuck in himself in ''Series/UltramanLeo'' as his TransformationTrinket ends up damaged, leaving him weaker than he would usually be and forced to take on a mentor role towards a young Ultra. Unlike his father, however, he could at least still transform into his Ultra form during that time.
* GoldColoredSuperiority: His most powerful forms all have a golden glow to them. Shining Ultimate Zero can manipulate time, Zero Beyond Galaxy Glitter takes the capacities of the Beyond form UpToEleven and Ultimate Shining Zero combines the abilities of Ultimate Zero and Shining Zero, though it's also a DangerousForbiddenTechnique.
* GoodCounterpart: To Belial, both were heroic Ultras who grew ambitious and uncaring and very nearly stole the Plasma Spark to empower themselves and were banished from the Land of Light for it. However, eventually Zero was able to learn better and redeemed himself from his actions. Also while Belial surrounds himself with minions but sees them as disposable pawns at best, Zero surrounds himself with many friends he's made through the years and will give his life for them.
* GuardianOfTheMultiverse: After the events of ''Revenge of Belial'' Zero took on this role following the creation of the Ultimate Force Zero, as he and his teammates patrol the Multiverse looking out for threats to it. This in turn usually leads him to be a guest star in various of the New Generation shows, usually following a criminal from a different universe into the one where the New Gen show takes place in.
* FormerTeenRebel: When he was younger, Zero had a rebellious un-lawful streak and preferred to get stronger through simple fighting rather than learning any values of it. It culminated in him trying to take the Plasma Spark in a misguided attempt to become stronger, only to be stopped and arrested by the Ultra Brothers and then sent to be disciplined by Ultraman Leo for years through TrainingFromHell which ended up helping shape him into a more responsible figure in spite of retaining some rebellious attitudes.
* HealingHands: Zero can employ his Ultraman light to purify other living beings of evil influence and energies, such as freeing Mirror Knight from Belial's dark plague.
* HenshinHero: Per tradition for Ultras, Zero is this, he usually transforms with the help of human hosts that he meets in his adventures, with his definite host seemingly being [[Series/UltramanGeed Reito Igaguri]]. A few stage shows depict him instead taking on a human form to walk around, known as Shin Moroboshi.
* HeroicSacrifice: Has had a few throughout the years.
** In ''Revenge of Belial'' he keeps up Mirror Knight's shield to block Arch Belial's Deathcium Beam and very nearly dies when his Color Timer runs out, he's luckily resurrected by Ultraman Noa and given power to transform into Ultimate Zero.
** In ''Geed'' he sacrifices himself in the aptly-titled episode 7, "Sacrifice", to protect Reito Igaguri from Kei. He gets better as well.
* HeroicWillpower: When Belial possesses him and kills almost all of his teammates, Zero's will eventually lets him explunge expulse the spirit of his nemesis from his body and achieve his Shining Ultraman Zero form.



* ImposedHandicapTraining: Zero was trained by Leo this way, placing a restrictive suit on him while sparring in order to help develop his skills and strength without relying on his powers while simultaneously learning life lessons from his mentor.
* LetsGetDangerous: His usual {{Character Tic|s}} is a firm indication that Zero's about to stop playing around and is instead going to take the next fight very seriously.
* LightIsGood: In contrast to his dark archnemesis, Belial, Zero continues the Ultraman's usual theme of representing light and the side of good. All of his most powerful transformations take the light aspect UpToEleven.



* MagneticHero: Zero in general is a friend magnet, starting with his RivalTurnedFriend, [=GlenFire=], then with the other members of the Ultimate Force Zero. Later he becomes friends with Ultraman Dyna and Cosmos, the New Generation Ultras and various other characters such as his third human host, Reito Igaguri and Reito's family.
* MentorOccupationalHazard: A non-fatal example in ''Ultraman Z'', he gets sucked inside a black hole at the hands of a Bullton fired at him by Genegarg while he's chasing the latter monster and ends up forced to entrust Ultraman Z with the Ultra Medals and his Z-Riser. He eventually frees himself from this fate by using [[ResetButton Shining Star Drive]] and comes back in the series to assist his pupil against Celebro's Belial Fusion Beasts.



* NextTierPowerUp: Zero is probably the Ultraman that plays the trope the straightest out of them all, his base form is weaker than his Ultimate Zero form and then this form is surpassed by both Shining Ultimate Zero and Zero Beyond, which in turn are small potatoes next to Ultimate Shining Zero and Zero Beyond Galaxy Glitter, respectively.



* NotSoDifferent: To Belial, both were heroic Ultras who grew ambitious and uncaring and very nearly stole the Plasma Spark to empower themselves and were banished from the Land of Light for it. However, eventually Zero was able to learn better and redeemed himself from his actions.

* NotSoDifferent: To Belial, both were heroic Ultras who grew ambitious TheParagonAlwaysRebels: He was a powerful and uncaring impressive Ultraman since childhood, but this fed his ego and very nearly stole belief in strength and he arrogantly tried to take the Plasma Spark to empower themselves himself, only to be stopped by the Ultra Brothers, arrested and were banished from the Land then exiled. However following some TrainingFromHell courtesy of Light for it. However, eventually Zero Ultraman Leo he was able to learn better and redeemed redeem himself from his actions.and turned back to the light.


Added DiffLines:

* PowerLimiter: The Techtor Gear he was forced to wear during his TrainingFromHell at Ultraman Leo's hands served this purpose, restraining most of Zero's power to prevent the young Ultra from trying to rely on his powers and instead fight hand-to-hand. If Zero tries to exert power, the armor tightens further and further, limiting him even more.


Added DiffLines:

* ResetButton: Shining Star Drive can do this, as it reverses time and Zero can use it to undo certain events that he desires, such as death or even to nullify a black hole and escape it.
* SecretLegacy: For most of his youth up until the events of ''Ultra Galaxy Legends'', he had no idea that he was the son of Ultraseven, and by extension a family member of Ultraman Taro, Father of Ultra and Mother of Ultra. Ultraman King reveals this to him when Seven calls for Zero's help during his fight in the Monster Graveyard.
* SchoolIsForLosers: In his rebellious youth and even after, he tends to view school in a negative light and never finished resuming his studies, even after his redemption and return to the Land of Light following his exile. This ended up biting him in the butt as shown in ''Ultraman Z'' voice dramas where the titular Z ended up flunking an exam because Zero gave him some uninformed academic help.
* SpinOffspring: Zero is the son of the iconic Series/{{Ultraseven}} and the main character of his own sub-franchise of movies and series depicting his many adventures.


Added DiffLines:

* SuperEmpowering: He used to be on the receiving end of the trope. But starting with the New Generation shows, he instead is now the provider with him giving new abilities and artifacts to the New Generation Ultramen to use or even copies of his own weapons and forms.


Added DiffLines:

* SuperStrength: Naturally as an Ultra this ability is one of his common ones, he has enough strength to lift heavier beings than himself with ease and toss them into the air. Even when he's only 5 meters tall and far weaker as a result of a botched attempt at trying to cooperate with his then human host, Nozomu Taiga at transforming, he's still able to lift the 30,000 ton Gomess in ''Ultraman Saga''.
* TalkingYourWayOut: In ''Revenge of Belial'' during his first encounter with GlenFire Zero has no interest in fighting the firey warrior due to seeking out the Shield of Baradhi, but GlenFire won't listen to a "wimp" and challenges Zero to a fight, which Zero only reluctantly complies to. After taking a beating from [=GlenFire=], Zero decides he's had enough and completely foregoes this option.


Added DiffLines:

* TrainingFromHell: After his failed attempt at taking the Plasma Spark, he was put under the mentorship of Ultraman Leo, being subjected to harsh training with a power-restraining armor to teach him discipline and true strength. He himself had his chance of putting Ginga and Victory through this in ''Ginga S: The Movie'' inside of a pocket dimension he made as Shining Ultimate Zero.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Tsundere}}: Towards Ultraman Z, his self-proclaimed pupil, Zero will not usually acknowledge or even treat him as his student but shows that he does care about the younger Ultra and deep down does want to somewhat mentor the Ultra, even getting jealous when Mebius jokingly offers to take Z under his tutelage when the former sees Zero reject Z.
* TheWorfBarrage: In ''Ginga S: The Movie'', his Ultimate Aegis' final attack is shrugged off by Etelgar, with the demoniac villain merely losing his scarf but otherwise coming out unscathed from it.
* TheWorfEffect: Often is subjected to this.
** In ''Ultra Galaxy Legends'' he is overwhelmed (along with his fellow Ultras and ZAP Spacy) by Belyudra and requires a boost from the Plasma Spark to finish off the colossal kaiju fusion.
** He is soundly overwhelmed by both Kaiser Belial and Arch Belial in ''Revenge of Belial'', and in fact is nearly killed by the latter draining his life-force.
** ''Ultraman Saga'' has him getting defeated by Imago Hyper Zetton and nearly killed many times over by the Zetton mutant's power.
** ''Ultraman Geed'' has the resurrected Belial defeat him even in his Ultimate Zero form, which also damages his Zero Bracelet and leaves him severely weakened for the remainder of the series until Hikari fixes his device.
* WorfHadTheFlu: For most of ''Ultraman Geed'' he has a less impressive showing than usual, mainly owed to him being severely weakened after his loss against Belial in the Crisis Impact that left his Zero Bracelet heavily damaged.

** In ''Revenge of Belial'' he starts out fairly calm, up to and including his [[OneWingedAngel trannsformation]] into the monstrous Arch Belial at least until Zero is rescued from his grasp and certain death, at which that point he opts to just blow up Planet Esmeralda so as to spite the Ultimate Force Zero and ends up screaming Zero's name in pure hatred as Ultimate Zero obliterates him.

* ResurectiveImmortality: He keeps coming back this way, thanks to Reiblood's powers even being reduced to a mere spirit can't stop him for long before he finds a way to become corporeal again. The only times where this was actually averted were when Zero obliterated his spirit with his Shining form, though this ended undone by Zero reversing time afterwards and when [[spoiler:Geed kills him between dimensions, leaving his spirit stuck between them and therefore unable to ever return even if he resurrected in some way.]]
