The first AntiHero and blue-bodied Ultraman in the franchise, Ultraman Agul was also born from the will of Earth itself (representing the element of the sea). Like his human host, Hiroya Fujimiya, he believes that humans are as much a threat to Earth as the alien minions of the Radical Destruction Bringer are, so unlike Gaia, he pays no heed to human loss of life in his battles and plans on eventually dealing with mankind as well. Ultraman Agul has also made a few reappearances, albeit not as often as Gaia.

* ContrastingSequelProtagonist: In terms of fighting style between Dyna and Tiga, Dyna is a LongRangeFighter by firing his energy beam attack towards the enemy in a distance whereas Tiga is more towards to [[CloseRangeCombatant physical combat]] who excelled in energy manipulation.
** This also can reflected to their respective forms and abilities. Tiga is the JackOfAllStats for all of his Type form between the use of energy manipulation power and physical strength and his Type form can be changed any given time while Dyna is the GlassCannon which have more ranged beam-based attack in Flash and Miracle Type than Strong Type and his forms can only be changed once at a time.
* FinishingMove: Dyna has three finishers for each of his forms :
** Flash-Type: Solgent Ray : Dyna fired an electric blue ray and usually used as a finisher in a plus (+) sign.
** Miracle-Type: Revolium Wave Attack Type: Dyna compresses the space into the right hand, creates a super shock wave, releases it, emits a black hole behind the enemies, knock them into the gap of suction, kills and ruptures them there but in some instances, it has been blocked by enemies.
** Strong-Type: Garnate Bomber: Dyna unleashed a large burst of energy from his arm and will rip straight through an opponent’s body, often leaving perfect holes through whatever part is hit.
* MultiformBalance: Like Tiga before him.
** FragileSpeedster: Miracle-Type, which like Tiga's Sky-Type, is very fast.
** JackOfAllStats: His default form, Flash-Type.
** MagicallyIneptFighter: His Strong-Type is this, since it lacks energy abilities besides his barrier and the Garnate Bomber, instead focuses more on martial arts and strength.
** MightyGlacier: Strong-Type, which grants him strength on par with the strongest kaiju.
** SquishyWizard: His Miracle-Type carries elements of this, relying heavily on pseudo-magical, long-range abilities.

Changed line(s) 274,302 (click to see context) from:
* BadassPacifist: Whereas other Ultramen are warriors who usually kill the monsters and aliens they battle, Cosmos prefers not to use violence and instead usually attempts to purify or pacify his opponents.
* BlueIsHeroic: His main color is a light blue and he is a pure-hearted and kind individual who seeks harmony and the coexistance of living beings.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Cosmos is a pacifist who wants everyone to get along and rarely harbors hatred even towards his enemies, but anger him or hurt those that he cares for with malevolent intent and he will ''destroy'' you.
* CosmicMotifs: Aside from his name being Cosmos (space), his forms are all based on celestial bodies. Luna and Corona are based on moon and sun, while eclipse is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. Also it's mentioned in the 2018 ''Ultraman Tiga, Dyna, and Gaia'' Novel that he draws his powers from the Sun and the Moon.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Cosmos has dedicated his life to all creatures that seek to live peacefully with others. His only exceptions to this were Alien Nowar, Alien Waroga, Sandros, [[Film/UltramanSaga Alien Bat]], [[Film/UltramanGingaSTheMovieShowdownThe10UltraBrothers Etelgar]] and formerly Chaos Header (before Musashi helped him find a way to redeem it).
* GentleGiant: Even by Ultraman standards, Cosmos is gentle and kind, only killing his enemies if no peaceful solutions can be achieved. In fact, he has the lowest kill ratio of all Ultras, with only a few genuinely evil/unredeemable enemies being killed.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: It's alluded to through AllThereInTheManual and eventually confirmed in ''Series/UltraGalaxyFightTheAbsoluteConspiracy'' that Cosmos is actually the result of Ultraman Legend splitting in two to become him and Justice.
* MartialPacifist: Cosmos often uses defensive maneuvers when battling, as he tries to avoid provoking fights and battles only to subdue his enemies.
* MultiformBalance: Cosmos has two forms he switches between depending on the situation.
** SquishyWizard: Luna Mode, his default blue form, uses a variety of healing, purification, and calming powers in order to pacify berserk monsters. It is powered by Cosmos' own kindness.
** JackOfAllStats: His Corona Mode, where he gains lots of red in overlap with his blue patterns. This form is powered by Cosmos' strength, and is mainly used if killing is the only way to end the conflict.
** SuperMode: His Eclipse Mode, which he gains in Episode 30. It combines the powers of Luna and Corona Mode through Musashi's own courage. However, it can only be used for one minute.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In ''Film/UltramanSaga'', Cosmos fought in his Luna Mode form despite [[SquishyWizard the form being incapable of strong attacks]].
** Earlier in his own series, when the baby Arados dies saving him from Ragstone Mechalator, who was sent to kill Cosmos so Nowar could kidnap the baby Arados, Cosmos wordlessly destroys Nowar's spaceship with him on it for it.
** In general, if he goes all-out and foregoes his usual MartialPacifist fighting style, you know he's been absolutely pissed off and will lay a smackdown on, if not outright destroy, those who dared to provoke him far.
* TechnicalPacifist: His fighting style in Luna Mode and most of his forms relies heavily on defending himself and subduing his foes rather than hurting them.

He has since made several appearances in much more kid-friendly ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' material alongside other Ultra heroes.

* CosmicMotifs: Aside from his name being Cosmos (space), his forms are all based on celestial bodies. Luna and Corona are based on moon and sun, while eclipse is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. Also it's mentioned in the 2018 ''Ultraman Tiga, Dyna, and Gaia'' Novel that he draws his powers from the Sun and the Moon.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Cosmos has dedicated his life to all creatures that seek to live peacefully with others. His only exceptions to this were Alien Nowar, Alien Waroga, Sandros, [[Film/UltramanSaga Alien Bat]], [[Film/UltramanGingaSTheMovieShowdownThe10UltraBrothers Etelgar]] and formerly Chaos Header (before Musashi helped him find a way to redeem it).
* GentleGiant: Even by Ultraman standards, Cosmos is gentle and kind, only killing his enemies if no peaceful solutions can be achieved. In fact, he has the lowest kill ratio of all Ultras, with only a few genuinely evil/unredeemable enemies being killed.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: It's alluded to through AllThereInTheManual and eventually confirmed in ''Series/UltraGalaxyFightTheAbsoluteConspiracy'' that Cosmos is actually the result of Ultraman Legend splitting in two to become him and Justice.
* MartialPacifist: Cosmos often uses defensive maneuvers when battling, as he tries to avoid provoking fights and battles only to subdue his enemies.
* MultiformBalance: Cosmos has two forms he switches between depending on the situation.
** SquishyWizard: Luna Mode, his default blue form, uses a variety of healing, purification, and calming powers in order to pacify berserk monsters. It is powered by Cosmos' own kindness.
** JackOfAllStats: His Corona Mode, where he gains lots of red in overlap with his blue patterns. This form is powered by Cosmos' strength, and is mainly used if killing is the only way to end the conflict.
** SuperMode: His Eclipse Mode, which he gains in Episode 30. It combines the powers of Luna and Corona Mode through Musashi's own courage. However, it can only be used for one minute.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In ''Film/UltramanSaga'', Cosmos fought in his Luna Mode form despite [[SquishyWizard the form being incapable of strong attacks]].
** Earlier in his own series, when the baby Arados dies saving him from Ragstone Mechalator, who was sent to kill Cosmos so Nowar could kidnap the baby Arados, Cosmos wordlessly destroys Nowar's spaceship with him on it for it.
** In general, if he goes all-out and foregoes his usual MartialPacifist fighting style, you know he's been absolutely pissed off and will lay a smackdown on, if not outright destroy, those who dared to provoke him far.
* TechnicalPacifist: His fighting style in Luna Mode and most of his forms relies heavily on defending himself and subduing his foes rather than hurting them.

Changed line(s) 304,329 (click to see context) from:
* AdaptiveAbility: As noticed by Illustrator in episode 5, Ultraman Nexus' ability is to adapt his body to his surroundings and grow stronger from each battle. In fact, after his battle as The Next, Ultraman Nexus is the former's ''adapted form'' to better suit with the Earth atmosphere. His multiform balance also embodied the trope, as he started as Anphans but later on becomes Junis and the Junis Blue is a variation of the former. Coupled with his constant bond with different Deunamist over the series' run, [[spoiler:he eventually regained his long lost form, Noa]].
* BroughtDownToBadass: Ultraman the Next is actually a weaker form of Nexus, who is in turn [[spoiler:a weaker form of Noa, due to him losing most of his power when trying to stop the One from reaching Earth.]]
* TheChooserOfTheOne: Due to the fact that Nexus changes between human hosts, allowing him to decide which human is most worthy of holding the Evolthruster.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Made explicitly to be everything Series/UltramanCosmos was not.
* FinishingMove: Unique in that which one he uses depends on which host he has.
** In every form, his Anphans form uses the Cross-Ray Storm, your classic "+"-styled HandBlast used by most Ultras.
** His Junis form uses the Over-Ray Storm, which is an "L"-shaped version of the Cross-Ray Storm, similar to some Ultras.
** Junis Blue has the Arrow-Ray Storm, which allows him to create a giant bow of energy with his right arm that fires a cutting blade of light.
* GodzillaThreshold: Nexus' true power is Core Final, which has his Energy Core on the chest releasing a burst of energy. This is only used during emergency occasions and so far, each Dunamists used it once with varying effect:
** Himeya used it to partially revive Nexus from the dead.
** Komon used it in a director's cut of episode 31 to escape Banpira's strong webbing, releasing a stream of energy ray from his chest.
** [[spoiler:Komon used it in final episode to shuffle every available forms of Nexus up to that point before regaining his lost form, Ultraman Noa]].
* HandBlast: Asides from his Finishing Moves, Nexus can toss out small bolts of light called Particle Feathers.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: As narrated by Sera in episode 24, Nexus fights by choosing his Deunamists, whose desire to protect others becomes the source of his power. The official website proclaims that Nexus operates in the concept of bonds, but the constant meddling of TLT in filtering the information of Ultraman and Space Beast in the public severely drains him from his strength.
* MeaningfulName: Anphans is a mutation of "enfance", the French word for "childhood", while Junis is from "jeunesse", or "youth". [[spoiler:And Ultraman Noa is named after the Noah of the Bible.]]
* MultiformBalance: Like many Heisei Ultras, Nexus is able to shift modes, but unlike most, his alternative forms are based on his current human host.
** JackOfAllStats: Anphans, the default form of Nexus, which is gray.
** LightningBruiser: Junis, the form used by Jun Himeya. It's the traditional red color of almost all Ultramen.
** FragileSpeedster: Junis Blue, the form used by Ren Senjyu. It's blue, like Cosmos.
** SuperMode: [[spoiler:Ultraman Noa, his true form. The most powerful Ultra in the franchise, behind [[Series/UltramanLeo Ultraman King]].]] The only reason why the series even began in the first place is because Nexus lost that form when battling the One.
* MysteriousPast: He's something of a legend, even amongst other Ultramen, as he was an Ultraman before the other Ultras even existed. Rumor has it he was birthed from a supernova.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Due to the fact that Nexus was at first meant to be a complete reimagining of the original Series/{{Ultraman}}, his design drastically differs from any Ultra before or after.
* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler:His true form Ultraman Noa is one of only two Ultras to be classified a god, the other being Ultraman King.]]
* PhantomZone: The Meta Field, a subspace created by Nexus to fight the Space Beasts without risk of civilian casualties or of being discovered. It puts considerable stress on the user's body after three minutes of continuous use.
* TimeAbyss: The ''oldest'' Ultra in existence at over 350 thousand years old.
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:Alongside Nagi, Nexus silently becomes this to Ishibori in order to revive Dark Zagi to glory. His bonding with Deunamist and constant battles with Space Beast/Dark Giants was to empower him before Nagi becomes his latest host and for Ishibori to harvest Nexus' powers]].

! Ultraman Gaia
[[quoteright:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ultraman_gaia.png]]
The hero of the series, Ultraman Gaia is the third of the 90s wave of Ultraman heroes, but goes in a different direction from all others. Whereas most Ultra heroes are aliens, Gaia is the embodiment of the Earth itself, willed into existence to protect the planet from the Radical Destruction Bringer. He also has no time limit nor does he require sunlight, instead drawing his power from the Earth's energies. Ultraman Gaia has also gone on to make appearances in other series.
----
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Unlike every single Ultraman before him, Gaia is a literal embodiment of the Earth's will (especially the element of earth itself) to fight against the Radical Destruction Bringer and protect all of its inhabitants.
* BashBrothers: With Agul [[spoiler:after they settle their differences]].
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Courtesy of Agul's light, he can fashion a [[LaserBlade Agul Blade]].
* CriticalAnnoyance: Like all Ultramen, he has a Color Timer. However, he has no time limit and his Colour Timer only begins flashing if he has taken a lot of damage.
* FinishingMove: Gaia's signature ability is the Photon Edge, which is different from all other examples in the franchise in that he fires it from his forehead. He does also have the more standard "+"-shaped Quantum Stream.
* AnIcePerson: Downplayed. Although Gaia primarily uses heat-based attacks (due to his connection with the Earth), he can also perform Gaia Blizzard to freeze his target.
* KamehameHadoken: His Liquidator, courtesy of Agul's powers.
* LightningBruiser: Gaia Supreme, which combines both the lights of Gaia and Agul.
* MeaningfulName: After the Gaia Hypothesis, or the theory that Earth itself is a super-organism -- befitting of an Ultraman created from the Earth itself.
* MightyGlacier: Gaia V1's fighting abilities involves more on power and strength than speed itself, that is until he gained Agul's light.
* MidSeasonUpgrade: Gains one as Gaia V2 in courtesy of Agul.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: After receiving Agul's light, not only Gaia upgraded into V2 and transforming into Supreme, he also obtained a few sets of Agul's powers.
* PlayingWithFire: Downplayed, in that Gaia utilizes heat as part of his connection with the Earth.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Agul's blue.

! Ultraman Agul
[[quoteright:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ultraman_agul_5.png]]
The first AntiHero and blue-bodied Ultraman in the franchise, Ultraman Agul was also born from the will of Earth itself (representing the element of the sea). Like his human host, Hiroya Fujimiya, he believes that humans are as much a threat to Earth as the alien minions of the Radical Destruction Bringer are, so unlike Gaia, he pays no heed to human loss of life in his battles and plans on eventually dealing with mankind as well. Ultraman Agul has also made a few reappearances, albeit not as often as Gaia.
----
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Like Gaia, Agul is born of the Earth's will to defend itself from the alien invaders, but unlike Gaia, he only cares about protecting Earth and not its inhabitants.
* AntiHero: The first example in the ''Franchise/UltraSeries''.
* BashBrothers: With Gaia [[spoiler:after they settle their differences]].
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Is the very first Ultraman to do this in the history!
* CameBackStrong: [[spoiler:Returns as Agul V2, with his previous attacks turned into stronger versions of themselves]].
* FragileSpeedster: Is the fast, stealth and sleeker than the two Ultras.
* KamehameHadoken: His Liquidator functions in this fashion.
* LaserBlade: Agul Blade, and by extension Agul Saber for V2.
* MakingASplash: Agul draws his strength from Earth's waters.
* RedOniBlueOni: Obviously he's the blue to Gaia's red.
* TheRival: To Ultraman Gaia, much like their hosts.
* TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler:Surprisingly to his new form, Agul V2, whose supposed to be stronger than Agul V1 but always get his butt kicked by various monsters if he were to fight first before Gaia]]. This is averted when both Ultras cooperate.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ultramantiga.png]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Yuji Machi (series; stock grunts), Hiroshi Nagano (''The Final Odyssey'' and ''Film/SuperiorUltraman8Brothers''), You Murakami (''Series/UltramanGinga S'')
The last of a race of prehistoric giants that lived on Earth thirty million years ago, Tiga and his brethren were the protectors of an ancient civilization until its destruction at the hands of Gatanozoa, who sealed Tiga and his kind in stone until he was rediscovered by Daigo Madoka. As the first Ultra hero with a full series since Series/UltramanEighty, Ultraman Tiga's debut marked a new era for the ''Franchise/UltraSeries'', set in a new universe. He quickly became one of the most popular Ultra heroes as a result, and has since made return appearances in other series, like ''Series/UltramanGinga'' and ''Series/UltramanX''.
----
* AnIcePerson: Tiga gains ice-related powers whenever he switches into Sky Type. His arsenal includss creating a cold explosion that freezes kaijus instantly, or releasing an icy mist from above his opponent and encases the kaiju in ice.
* BreakoutCharacter: Franchise wise, Tiga has become one to the Ultra Series.
* CriticalAnnoyance: Like most Ultramen, the Color Timer on Tiga's chest flashes red and beeps as he runs low on energy.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: All the Ultramen do this, but Tiga should get a special mention because the BigBad of his series is none other than ''Cthulhu's son''!
* EmptyShell: The statue inside the pyramid is this, as the real Tiga departed it long ago, leaving it open for Daigo to possess.
* FinishingMove: Each of his forms has a separate one -- Multi Type uses the Zepellion Ray, Power Type has the Delacium Light Stream, Sky Type possesses the Rainbalt Light Bullet.
* HeelFaceTurn: In ''The Final Odyssey'', [[spoiler:it is revealed Tiga used to be evil and worked alongside the Dark Giants as their most powerful member during a civil war between Ultramen that almost destroyed the 30-million-year-old civilization they protected. However, in his human form, he fell in love with Yuzare, who managed to turn him to the side of light and allowed him to seal his comrades away in stone.]]
* HighAltitudeBattle: Sky Type is meant to be this for any opponents with actual flying capability.
* LegacyCharacter: Uniquely, Tiga is this. Over the course of his own series, there have been at least four separate Tigas all in the same bloodline: the original Ultraman Tiga who was the actual Giant of Light, Amui (who is implied to be Daigo's ancestor), Daigo, and Daigo's son Tsubasa.
* LightIsGood: As a being of light.
** DarkIsNotEvil: In ''Ultraman: The Final Odyssey'', [[spoiler:he becomes Dark Tiga this when Camila convinces him Daigo become Tiga again. However, Daigo embraces both the goodness in his heart to control the evil within himself, preventing Tiga from succumbing to his old ways.]]
* LoveRedeems: [[spoiler:His feelings for Yuzare is what made him change sides from darkness to light.]]

* MultiformBalance: The first ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' hero with such an ability.
** JackOfAllStats: Multi Type (Omni Mode in the 4Kids dub), his default form.

** FragileSpeedster: Sky Type (renamed Speed Mode by 4Kids), in which he becomes indigo and silver.
** GoldenSuperMode: Glitter Tiga.
** SuperpoweredEvilSide: Tiga Dark, as in his original form as a villain. According to his former teammates, this form's full potential can be realized had Tiga return to the dark side.
* OurGiantsAreBigger: While "Giant of Light" is a term frequently given to the Ultras, Tiga is unique in that he is an ancient denizen of Earth rather than an alien being, thus fitting more closely to the classic fantasy giant more than his space counterparts.
* PurpleIsPowerful: One of the few Ultramen with purple as a major part of his colour scheme.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Averted. He's red and black yes, but Tiga Tornado is the result of stealing his former friend Darramb's strength while slowly returning to the light.
* SealedGoodInACan: Daigo discovered him as one.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Takeshi Tsuruno
The eponymous hero and successor of Series/UltramanTiga, Ultraman Dyna appeared and merged with Shin Asuka out of the blue when Darambia attacked the Mars TPC base seven years after Tiga defeated Gatanozoa. His connections to the rest of his kind are mysterious, but Dyna defends the Earth as fiercely as Tiga. After the events of his show, Dyna would travel to other universes, first reappearing in the original Showa continuity in ''Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends'' to assist the original Series/{{Ultraman}}, Series/UltraSeven, and Series/UltramanMebius in their fight to save the Land of Light. Afterwards, Dyna would reappear many more times in the franchise, continuing to wander through the multiverse and battle evil.
----
* ContrastingSequelProtagonist: In terms of fighting style between Dyna and Tiga, Dyna is a LongRangeFighter by firing his energy beam attack towards the enemy in a distance whereas Tiga is more towards to [[CloseRangeCombatant physical combat]] who excelled in energy manipulation.
** This also can reflected to their respective forms and abilities. Tiga is the JackOfAllStats for all of his Type form between the use of energy manipulation power and physical strength and his Type form can be changed any given time while Dyna is the GlassCannon which have more ranged beam-based attack in Flash and Miracle Type than Strong Type and his forms can only be changed once at a time.
* FinishingMove: Dyna has three finishers for each of his forms :
** Flash-Type: Solgent Ray : Dyna fired an electric blue ray and usually used as a finisher in a plus (+) sign.
** Miracle-Type: Revolium Wave Attack Type: Dyna compresses the space into the right hand, creates a super shock wave, releases it, emits a black hole behind the enemies, knock them into the gap of suction, kills and ruptures them there but in some instances, it has been blocked by enemies.
** Strong-Type: Garnate Bomber: Dyna unleashed a large burst of energy from his arm and will rip straight through an opponent’s body, often leaving perfect holes through whatever part is hit.
* MultiformBalance: Like Tiga before him.
** FragileSpeedster: Miracle-Type, which like Tiga's Sky-Type, is very fast.
** JackOfAllStats: His default form, Flash-Type.
** MagicallyIneptFighter: His Strong-Type is this, since it lacks energy abilities besides his barrier and the Garnate Bomber, instead focuses more on martial arts and strength.
** MightyGlacier: Strong-Type, which grants him strength on par with the strongest kaiju.
** SquishyWizard: His Miracle-Type carries elements of this, relying heavily on pseudo-magical, long-range abilities.
* TechnicianVersusPerformer: The performer to Tiga's technician. Dyna have more agility in his movement and preferred to engage in long-range combat with his wide variety of beam attack when in Miracle Type.
* UnrealisticBlackHole: The Revolium Wave, which opens a black hole and banish kaijus and aliens into a freezing, sub-zero dimension. [[spoiler: In the final episode, the black hole re-opens and reveals the numerous frozen bodies of different kaijus Dyna had banished throughout the series]].
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Played straight and invoked by Dyna's Strong Type, utilizing the pure physical power of said form to perform multiple wrestling-like moves towards the kaiju.
* PassingTheTorch: Get at the receiving one from [[spoiler:Daigo at the end of Final Odyssey.]]

The hero of the series, Ultraman Cosmos is a calm and gentle alien of unknown origin who seeks to protect Earth. He befriended Musashi on his first visit to Earth, and would later merge with the human to battle Chaos Header. Unlike most Ultramen, Cosmos is a pacifist and prefers to calm rampaging kaiju instead of killing them. Ultraman Cosmos has since made appearances in a number of other installments, beginning with the 2012 movie ''Film/UltramanSaga''.
----
* BadassPacifist: Whereas other Ultramen are warriors who usually kill the monsters and aliens they battle, Cosmos prefers not to use violence and instead usually attempts to purify or pacify his opponents.
* BlueIsHeroic: His main color is a light blue and he is a pure-hearted and kind individual who seeks harmony and the coexistance of living beings.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Cosmos is a pacifist who wants everyone to get along and rarely harbors hatred even towards his enemies, but anger him or hurt those that he cares for with malevolent intent and he will ''destroy'' you.
* CosmicMotifs: Aside from his name being Cosmos (space), his forms are all based on celestial bodies. Luna and Corona are based on moon and sun, while eclipse is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. Also it's mentioned in the 2018 ''Ultraman Tiga, Dyna, and Gaia'' Novel that he draws his powers from the Sun and the Moon.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Cosmos has dedicated his life to all creatures that seek to live peacefully with others. His only exceptions to this were Alien Nowar, Alien Waroga, Sandros, [[Film/UltramanSaga Alien Bat]], [[Film/UltramanGingaSTheMovieShowdownThe10UltraBrothers Etelgar]] and formerly Chaos Header (before Musashi helped him find a way to redeem it).
* GentleGiant: Even by Ultraman standards, Cosmos is gentle and kind, only killing his enemies if no peaceful solutions can be achieved. In fact, he has the lowest kill ratio of all Ultras, with only a few genuinely evil/unredeemable enemies being killed.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: It's alluded to through AllThereInTheManual and eventually confirmed in ''Series/UltraGalaxyFightTheAbsoluteConspiracy'' that Cosmos is actually the result of Ultraman Legend splitting in two to become him and Justice.
* MartialPacifist: Cosmos often uses defensive maneuvers when battling, as he tries to avoid provoking fights and battles only to subdue his enemies.
* MultiformBalance: Cosmos has two forms he switches between depending on the situation.
** SquishyWizard: Luna Mode, his default blue form, uses a variety of healing, purification, and calming powers in order to pacify berserk monsters. It is powered by Cosmos' own kindness.
** JackOfAllStats: His Corona Mode, where he gains lots of red in overlap with his blue patterns. This form is powered by Cosmos' strength, and is mainly used if killing is the only way to end the conflict.
** SuperMode: His Eclipse Mode, which he gains in Episode 30. It combines the powers of Luna and Corona Mode through Musashi's own courage. However, it can only be used for one minute.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In ''Film/UltramanSaga'', Cosmos fought in his Luna Mode form despite [[SquishyWizard the form being incapable of strong attacks]].
** Earlier in his own series, when the baby Arados dies saving him from Ragstone Mechalator, who was sent to kill Cosmos so Nowar could kidnap the baby Arados, Cosmos wordlessly destroys Nowar's spaceship with him on it for it.
** In general, if he goes all-out and foregoes his usual MartialPacifist fighting style, you know he's been absolutely pissed off and will lay a smackdown on, if not outright destroy, those who dared to provoke him far.
* TechnicalPacifist: His fighting style in Luna Mode and most of his forms relies heavily on defending himself and subduing his foes rather than hurting them.

* AdaptiveAbility: As noticed by Illustrator in episode 5, Ultraman Nexus' ability is to adapt his body to his surroundings and grow stronger from each battle. In fact, after his battle as The Next, Ultraman Nexus is the former's ''adapted form'' to better suit with the Earth atmosphere. His multiform balance also embodied the trope, as he started as Anphans but later on becomes Junis and the Junis Blue is a variation of the former. Coupled with his constant bond with different Deunamist over the series' run, [[spoiler:he eventually regained his long lost form, Noa]].
* BroughtDownToBadass: Ultraman the Next is actually a weaker form of Nexus, who is in turn [[spoiler:a weaker form of Noa, due to him losing most of his power when trying to stop the One from reaching Earth.]]
* TheChooserOfTheOne: Due to the fact that Nexus changes between human hosts, allowing him to decide which human is most worthy of holding the Evolthruster.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Made explicitly to be everything Series/UltramanCosmos was not.
* FinishingMove: Unique in that which one he uses depends on which host he has.
** In every form, his Anphans form uses the Cross-Ray Storm, your classic "+"-styled HandBlast used by most Ultras.
** His Junis form uses the Over-Ray Storm, which is an "L"-shaped version of the Cross-Ray Storm, similar to some Ultras.
** Junis Blue has the Arrow-Ray Storm, which allows him to create a giant bow of energy with his right arm that fires a cutting blade of light.
* GodzillaThreshold: Nexus' true power is Core Final, which has his Energy Core on the chest releasing a burst of energy. This is only used during emergency occasions and so far, each Dunamists used it once with varying effect:
** Himeya used it to partially revive Nexus from the dead.
** Komon used it in a director's cut of episode 31 to escape Banpira's strong webbing, releasing a stream of energy ray from his chest.
** [[spoiler:Komon used it in final episode to shuffle every available forms of Nexus up to that point before regaining his lost form, Ultraman Noa]].
* HandBlast: Asides from his Finishing Moves, Nexus can toss out small bolts of light called Particle Feathers.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: As narrated by Sera in episode 24, Nexus fights by choosing his Deunamists, whose desire to protect others becomes the source of his power. The official website proclaims that Nexus operates in the concept of bonds, but the constant meddling of TLT in filtering the information of Ultraman and Space Beast in the public severely drains him from his strength.
* MeaningfulName: Anphans is a mutation of "enfance", the French word for "childhood", while Junis is from "jeunesse", or "youth". [[spoiler:And Ultraman Noa is named after the Noah of the Bible.]]
* MultiformBalance: Like many Heisei Ultras, Nexus is able to shift modes, but unlike most, his alternative forms are based on his current human host.
** JackOfAllStats: Anphans, the default form of Nexus, which is gray.
** LightningBruiser: Junis, the form used by Jun Himeya. It's the traditional red color of almost all Ultramen.
** FragileSpeedster: Junis Blue, the form used by Ren Senjyu. It's blue, like Cosmos.
** SuperMode: [[spoiler:Ultraman Noa, his true form. The most powerful Ultra in the franchise, behind [[Series/UltramanLeo Ultraman King]].]] The only reason why the series even began in the first place is because Nexus lost that form when battling the One.
* MysteriousPast: He's something of a legend, even amongst other Ultramen, as he was an Ultraman before the other Ultras even existed. Rumor has it he was birthed from a supernova.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Due to the fact that Nexus was at first meant to be a complete reimagining of the original Series/{{Ultraman}}, his design drastically differs from any Ultra before or after.
* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler:His true form Ultraman Noa is one of only two Ultras to be classified a god, the other being Ultraman King.]]
* PhantomZone: The Meta Field, a subspace created by Nexus to fight the Space Beasts without risk of civilian casualties or of being discovered. It puts considerable stress on the user's body after three minutes of continuous use.
* TimeAbyss: The ''oldest'' Ultra in existence at over 350 thousand years old.
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:Alongside Nagi, Nexus silently becomes this to Ishibori in order to revive Dark Zagi to glory. His bonding with Deunamist and constant battles with Space Beast/Dark Giants was to empower him before Nagi becomes his latest host and for Ishibori to harvest Nexus' powers]].

He has fought against his sworn enemy Dark Lugiel across the cosmos and through time, eventually arriving in the present where he manifested in Hikaru.
----
* AllYourPowersCombined: Ginga Strium, accessed by the fusing with Ultraman Taro via the Strium Brace. In this form he can use the special moves of the Six Ultra Brothers – Ultraman, Zoffy, Ultraseven, Jack, Ace, and Taro. This form is no longer accesible after Taro left with his job on Earth is done.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: The Ginga Saber, an energy blade formed from his right arm.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Ginga's light-up panels change color for each of his moves -- blue default, red for fireballs, yellow for thunderbolts, green for healing, and purple for the Ginga Slash.
* CosmicMotifs: His name is literally the Japanese for Galaxy. In addition, his crystals change color as a reference to the multitude colors of the galaxy.
* HealingHands: The Ginga Comfort, which works a lot like many of Series/UltramanCosmos' powers by showering the enemy with a calming, healing light.
* TheHero: This is as much his story as it is Hikaru's. He's the one who beat Dark Lugiel in the original Dark Spark War and their battle continues into the present day.
* PlayingWithFire: The Ginga Fireballs, in which he summons homing orbs of fire that he can direct at his foes as he pleases.
* ProngsOfPoseidon: He can summon the Ginga Spark Lance, a trident-like weapon, for combat.

An Ultraman who hails from the ancient underground civilization of the Victorian people, Ultraman Victory is the guardian of the Victorium stones that allow their civilization to flourish, with his Victory Lance passed through generations. But when dark forces begin to steal the crystals, Victory is forced to head to the surface to find the enemy, lending his power to the Victorian prince Shou. He debuts in ''Ultraman Ginga S''.
----
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: Victory has several V-shaped crystals adorning his body.
* EquippableAlly: How the Spark Dolls work for him. Instead of turning into a monster, he gains a piece of them to use as a weapon on his right arm.
** ArmCannon: By using the [[Series/UltraSeven King Joe]] [[Series/UltraGalaxyMegaMonsterBattle Custom]] Spark Doll, Victory gains the robot's powerful Pedanium Launcher.
** CoolSword: By scanning Shepherdon's Spark Doll, Victory will be armed with the Shepherdon Saber, a sword that resembles said monster's back crystal.
** PlayingWithFire: Gains this with the [[Series/UltraGalaxyMegaMonsterBattle EX Red King]] Spark Doll.
** PowerFist: The EX Red King Spark Doll gives him the monster's massive fist, allowing him to not only punch harder, but create fiery eruptions by slamming the ground.
** PowerPincers: His Sadorah Scissors, gained from using the [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Sadorah]] Spark Doll. Like the monster, he can stretch out the pincer arm to impossible lengths to hit foes from afar.
** ShockAndAwe: The [[Series/UltraSeven Eleking]] Spark Doll grants him lightning-based abilities.
** WhipItGood: He gains this from the [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Gudon]] and Eleking Spark Dolls, with the latter keeping Eleking's electric powers.
* FinishingMove: '''Victorium Shoot''': His signature move, which appears as an orange beam with multiple light orange Vs in it. Victory draws an energy V by raising his hands and the V and yellow energy is absorbed in the V Crystal on his right arm. It is fired from an "L" position from the V Crystal on Victory's wrists, which means it is fired from the back of his hand.
* MultiformBalance:
** JackOfAllStats: His normal form.
** SuperForm: Ultraman Victory Knight, an enhanced version of Victory. His red and black markings replaced with blue and silver and his V Crystals turned red. His main weapon is the [[MixAndMatchWeapon Knight]] [[MusicalAssassin Timbre]], a sword/flute object.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Ultraman Victory is one of the few Ultras that doesn't have a circular color timer, instead having a V-shaped one. He also has a lot of black in his design, something rare for a good-aligned Ultra

--->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuuichiNakamura
The titular Ultra, he once tried to stop Greeza in space. As they traveled in the solar system, they clashed against each other until X throws him into the sun but it eventually causes the Ultra Flare incident to happened. At that time, the solar flare also turned his body into a mass of data and thus, he seeks Daichi's help to regain his old form.
----
* BashBrothers: With Daichi.
* TheCape: As typical of most Ultramen, X is very much a straightforward, noble hero.
* EquippableAlly: X can utilize the Cyber Cards, which contain data of Cyber Monsters, to materialize on Ultraman X Mons Armors -- sets of armor and weaponry based on classic Ultra {{Kaiju}}.
** [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Gomora]] Armor:
*** FinishingMove: The Gomora Oscillatory Wave, based on Gomora's Super Oscillatory Wave and used in a similar fashion (except fired from his hands).
*** ShoutOut: All of us were hyped when we realized that the Gomora Armor looks like [=WarGreymon=] from ''{{Franchise/Digimon}}'' franchise.
*** WolverineClaws: The Gomora Claws on his armor -- enlarged, cybernetic versions of Gomora's own claws.
** [[Series/UltraSeven Eleking]] Armor:
*** ArmCannon: The {{BFG}} on its left arm.
*** FinishingMove: The Eleking Electric Shockwave, which is a huge beam of lightning fired from its ArmCannon.
*** ShockAndAwe: Since it's based on Eleking. According to X, Eleking Armor allows him to control electricity, but in the series, he only uses it to create a rope of electrical energy based on Eleking's PrehensileTail.
** [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Bemstar]] Armor:
*** AttackReflector: Like the monster it;s based on, the Bemstar Armor can eat up energy attacks, but unlike Bemstar, it can shoot them back out at enemies.
*** BattleBoomerang: The shield also acts as a boomerang.
*** LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Equipped with a shield that resembles the monster's BellyMouth. It also acts as a claw in melee combat.
** [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Zetton]] Armor:
*** ArmCannon: Is equipped with two of these on each arm.
*** BarrierWarrior: The arm cannons can also produce Zetton's infamous force field, the Zetton Shutter.
*** BrainwashedAndCrazy: Its first use was a trap set up by Alien Sran Quila to corrupt X into his puppet and fight against Ultraman Max. Daichi's quick thinking allows him to use Eleking's card and fry the program that corrupted X to bring him back.
*** PlayingWithFire: Taken from Zetton's ability to shoot fireballs, the Zetton Armor can shoot a powerful fireball to burn monsters into crisp.
*** SpinAttack: A modification of the Zetton Shutter, Ultraman X creates a force field around himself before spinning rapidly like a tornado and slamming himself into the enemy like a gigantic crystal shard.
*** SuperStrength: Even by Ultra Standards, because it uses Zetton's strength stacked on top of Ultraman X's. Even the Alien Sran complimented this form as the ultimate combination.
*** TeleportSpam: Inherited from Zetton, though X does it by temporarily digitizing himself to move about.
** [[spoiler:Hybrid Armor:]]
*** AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler:Has the powers of all 4 [=MonsArmors=], as well as the Xlugger.]]
*** SuperMode: [[spoiler:So super that he only unlocks the power when battling Greeza.]]
** Xlugger:
*** SuperMode: But of course.
*** CoolSword: The Xlugger, which serves as a tribute to the [[Series/UltraSeven Eye Slugger]].
*** MesACrowd: Can split into four different colored clones.
* FusionDance:
** [[spoiler:With all the Spark Dolls in the finale in order to gain his Hybrid Armor form.]]
** [[spoiler:While the Beta Spark is just another, albeit very strong armor, Ultraman and Ultraman Tiga fuse with him to give him the added boost to put Zaigorg down for good.]]
* LetXBeTheUnknown: Daichi originally gives X that name because of how little Xio knows about him.
* MotorMouth: Downplayed. X isn't a chatterbox in-series, but he and Daichi are unusual in that they actually have a bond that grows throughout the series. Usually the Ultraman doesn't get this level of dialogue or development, but X stands out.
* MyGreatestFailure: X thought that when he threw Greeza into the sun, he ended its reign of terror. However, Greeza's death unleashed uncontrollable energy which then reacted with the sun and initiated the Ultra Flare. This leads to an awakening and subsequent rampage of slumbering spark dolls.
* SealedGoodInACan: Or sealed good in cyberspace.

The hero of the series, Ultraman Gaia is the third of the 90s wave of Ultraman heroes, but goes in a different direction from all others. Whereas most Ultra heroes are aliens, Gaia is the embodiment of the Earth itself, willed into existence to protect the planet from the Radical Destruction Bringer. He also has no time limit nor does he require sunlight, instead drawing his power from the Earth's energies. Ultraman Gaia has also gone on to make appearances in other series.
----
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Unlike every single Ultraman before him, Gaia is a literal embodiment of the Earth's will (especially the element of earth itself) to fight against the Radical Destruction Bringer and protect all of its inhabitants.
* BashBrothers: With Agul [[spoiler:after they settle their differences]].
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Courtesy of Agul's light, he can fashion a [[LaserBlade Agul Blade]].
* CriticalAnnoyance: Like all Ultramen, he has a Color Timer. However, he has no time limit and his Colour Timer only begins flashing if he has taken a lot of damage.
* FinishingMove: Gaia's signature ability is the Photon Edge, which is different from all other examples in the franchise in that he fires it from his forehead. He does also have the more standard "+"-shaped Quantum Stream.
* AnIcePerson: Downplayed. Although Gaia primarily uses heat-based attacks (due to his connection with the Earth), he can also perform Gaia Blizzard to freeze his target.
* KamehameHadoken: His Liquidator, courtesy of Agul's powers.
* LightningBruiser: Gaia Supreme, which combines both the lights of Gaia and Agul.
* MeaningfulName: After the Gaia Hypothesis, or the theory that Earth itself is a super-organism -- befitting of an Ultraman created from the Earth itself.
* MightyGlacier: Gaia V1's fighting abilities involves more on power and strength than speed itself, that is until he gained Agul's light.
* MidSeasonUpgrade: Gains one as Gaia V2 in courtesy of Agul.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: After receiving Agul's light, not only Gaia upgraded into V2 and transforming into Supreme, he also obtained a few sets of Agul's powers.
* PlayingWithFire: Downplayed, in that Gaia utilizes heat as part of his connection with the Earth.

The first AntiHero and blue-bodied Ultraman in the franchise, Ultraman Agul was also born from the will of Earth itself (representing the element of the sea). Like his human host, Hiroya Fujimiya, he believes that humans are as much a threat to Earth as the alien minions of the Radical Destruction Bringer are, so unlike Gaia, he pays no heed to human loss of life in his battles and plans on eventually dealing with mankind as well. Ultraman Agul has also made a few reappearances, albeit not as often as Gaia.
----
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Like Gaia, Agul is born of the Earth's will to defend itself from the alien invaders, but unlike Gaia, he only cares about protecting Earth and not its inhabitants.
* AntiHero: The first example in the ''Franchise/UltraSeries''.
* BashBrothers: With Gaia [[spoiler:after they settle their differences]].
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Is the very first Ultraman to do this in the history!
* CameBackStrong: [[spoiler:Returns as Agul V2, with his previous attacks turned into stronger versions of themselves]].
* FragileSpeedster: Is the fast, stealth and sleeker than the two Ultras.
* KamehameHadoken: His Liquidator functions in this fashion.
* LaserBlade: Agul Blade, and by extension Agul Saber for V2.
* MakingASplash: Agul draws his strength from Earth's waters.
* RedOniBlueOni: Obviously he's the blue to Gaia's red.
* TheRival: To Ultraman Gaia, much like their hosts.
* TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler:Surprisingly to his new form, Agul V2, whose supposed to be stronger than Agul V1 but always get his butt kicked by various monsters if he were to fight first before Gaia]]. This is averted when both Ultras cooperate.

* AnIcePerson: Tiga gains ice-related powers whenever he switches into Sky Type. His arsenal includss creating a cold explosion that freezes kaijus instantly, or releasing an icy mist from above his opponent and encases the kaiju in ice.
* BreakoutCharacter: Franchise wise, Tiga has become one to the Ultra Series.
* CriticalAnnoyance: Like most Ultramen, the Color Timer on Tiga's chest flashes red and beeps as he runs low on energy.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: All the Ultramen do this, but Tiga should get a special mention because the BigBad of his series is none other than ''Cthulhu's son''!
* EmptyShell: The statue inside the pyramid is this, as the real Tiga departed it long ago, leaving it open for Daigo to possess.
* FinishingMove: Each of his forms has a separate one -- Multi Type uses the Zepellion Ray, Power Type has the Delacium Light Stream, Sky Type possesses the Rainbalt Light Bullet.
* HeelFaceTurn: In ''The Final Odyssey'', [[spoiler:it is revealed Tiga used to be evil and worked alongside the Dark Giants as their most powerful member during a civil war between Ultramen that almost destroyed the 30-million-year-old civilization they protected. However, in his human form, he fell in love with Yuzare, who managed to turn him to the side of light and allowed him to seal his comrades away in stone.]]
* HighAltitudeBattle: Sky Type is meant to be this for any opponents with actual flying capability.
* LegacyCharacter: Uniquely, Tiga is this. Over the course of his own series, there have been at least four separate Tigas all in the same bloodline: the original Ultraman Tiga who was the actual Giant of Light, Amui (who is implied to be Daigo's ancestor), Daigo, and Daigo's son Tsubasa.
* LightIsGood: As a being of light.
** DarkIsNotEvil: In ''Ultraman: The Final Odyssey'', [[spoiler:he becomes Dark Tiga this when Camila convinces him Daigo become Tiga again. However, Daigo embraces both the goodness in his heart to control the evil within himself, preventing Tiga from succumbing to his old ways.]]
* LoveRedeems: [[spoiler:His feelings for Yuzare is what made him change sides from darkness to light.]]
* MeaningfulName: "Tiga" means "three" in Malay/Indonesian, referencing his three [[MultiformBalance different forms]].
* MultiformBalance: The first ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' hero with such an ability.
** JackOfAllStats: Multi Type (Omni Mode in the 4Kids dub), his default form.
** MightyGlacier: Power Type (called Power Mode by 4Kids). He turns red and silver.
** FragileSpeedster: Sky Type (renamed Speed Mode by 4Kids), in which he becomes indigo and silver.
** GoldenSuperMode: Glitter Tiga.
** SuperpoweredEvilSide: Tiga Dark, as in his original form as a villain. According to his former teammates, this form's full potential can be realized had Tiga return to the dark side.
* OurGiantsAreBigger: While "Giant of Light" is a term frequently given to the Ultras, Tiga is unique in that he is an ancient denizen of Earth rather than an alien being, thus fitting more closely to the classic fantasy giant more than his space counterparts.
* PurpleIsPowerful: One of the few Ultramen with purple as a major part of his colour scheme.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Averted. He's red and black yes, but Tiga Tornado is the result of stealing his former friend Darramb's strength while slowly returning to the light.
* SealedGoodInACan: Daigo discovered him as one.
* ShrinkRay: Tiga's Cell Change Beam, used in one episode to shrink King Molerat reducing the monster into a cuddly rabbit form.

[[folder:Ultraman Dyna]]
[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ultraman_dyna.png]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Takeshi Tsuruno
The eponymous hero and successor of Series/UltramanTiga, Ultraman Dyna appeared and merged with Shin Asuka out of the blue when Darambia attacked the Mars TPC base seven years after Tiga defeated Gatanozoa. His connections to the rest of his kind are mysterious, but Dyna defends the Earth as fiercely as Tiga. After the events of his show, Dyna would travel to other universes, first reappearing in the original Showa continuity in ''Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends'' to assist the original Series/{{Ultraman}}, Series/UltraSeven, and Series/UltramanMebius in their fight to save the Land of Light. Afterwards, Dyna would reappear many more times in the franchise, continuing to wander through the multiverse and battle evil.
----
* ContrastingSequelProtagonist: In terms of fighting style between Dyna and Tiga, Dyna is a LongRangeFighter by firing his energy beam attack towards the enemy in a distance whereas Tiga is more towards to [[CloseRangeCombatant physical combat]] who excelled in energy manipulation.
** This also can reflected to their respective forms and abilities. Tiga is the JackOfAllStats for all of his Type form between the use of energy manipulation power and physical strength and his Type form can be changed any given time while Dyna is the GlassCannon which have more ranged beam-based attack in Flash and Miracle Type than Strong Type and his forms can only be changed once at a time.
* FinishingMove: Dyna has three finishers for each of his forms :
** Flash-Type: Solgent Ray : Dyna fired an electric blue ray and usually used as a finisher in a plus (+) sign.
** Miracle-Type: Revolium Wave Attack Type: Dyna compresses the space into the right hand, creates a super shock wave, releases it, emits a black hole behind the enemies, knock them into the gap of suction, kills and ruptures them there but in some instances, it has been blocked by enemies.
** Strong-Type: Garnate Bomber: Dyna unleashed a large burst of energy from his arm and will rip straight through an opponent’s body, often leaving perfect holes through whatever part is hit.
* MultiformBalance: Like Tiga before him.
** FragileSpeedster: Miracle-Type, which like Tiga's Sky-Type, is very fast.
** JackOfAllStats: His default form, Flash-Type.
** MagicallyIneptFighter: His Strong-Type is this, since it lacks energy abilities besides his barrier and the Garnate Bomber, instead focuses more on martial arts and strength.
** MightyGlacier: Strong-Type, which grants him strength on par with the strongest kaiju.
** SquishyWizard: His Miracle-Type carries elements of this, relying heavily on pseudo-magical, long-range abilities.
* TechnicianVersusPerformer: The performer to Tiga's technician. Dyna have more agility in his movement and preferred to engage in long-range combat with his wide variety of beam attack when in Miracle Type.
* UnrealisticBlackHole: The Revolium Wave, which opens a black hole and banish kaijus and aliens into a freezing, sub-zero dimension. [[spoiler: In the final episode, the black hole re-opens and reveals the numerous frozen bodies of different kaijus Dyna had banished throughout the series]].
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Played straight and invoked by Dyna's Strong Type, utilizing the pure physical power of said form to perform multiple wrestling-like moves towards the kaiju.
* PassingTheTorch: Get at the receiving one from [[spoiler:Daigo at the end of Final Odyssey.]]

[[folder:Ultraman Cosmos]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ultraman_cosmos.png]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Hisanori Koyatsu (''[[Film/UltramanCosmosTheFirstContact First Contact]]''), Yuki Sato (series), Creator/TetsuInada (''The Blue Planet'' and ''Ultraman Cosmos vs Ultraman Justice''), Taiyo Sugiura (''Film/UltramanSaga'' onwards)
The hero of the series, Ultraman Cosmos is a calm and gentle alien of unknown origin who seeks to protect Earth. He befriended Musashi on his first visit to Earth, and would later merge with the human to battle Chaos Header. Unlike most Ultramen, Cosmos is a pacifist and prefers to calm rampaging kaiju instead of killing them. Ultraman Cosmos has since made appearances in a number of other installments, beginning with the 2012 movie ''Film/UltramanSaga''.
----
* BadassPacifist: Whereas other Ultramen are warriors who usually kill the monsters and aliens they battle, Cosmos prefers not to use violence and instead usually attempts to purify or pacify his opponents.
* BlueIsHeroic: His main color is a light blue and he is a pure-hearted and kind individual who seeks harmony and the coexistance of living beings.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Cosmos is a pacifist who wants everyone to get along and rarely harbors hatred even towards his enemies, but anger him or hurt those that he cares for with malevolent intent and he will ''destroy'' you.
* CosmicMotifs: Aside from his name being Cosmos (space), his forms are all based on celestial bodies. Luna and Corona are based on moon and sun, while eclipse is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. Also it's mentioned in the 2018 ''Ultraman Tiga, Dyna, and Gaia'' Novel that he draws his powers from the Sun and the Moon.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Cosmos has dedicated his life to all creatures that seek to live peacefully with others. His only exceptions to this were Alien Nowar, Alien Waroga, Sandros, [[Film/UltramanSaga Alien Bat]], [[Film/UltramanGingaSTheMovieShowdownThe10UltraBrothers Etelgar]] and formerly Chaos Header (before Musashi helped him find a way to redeem it).
* GentleGiant: Even by Ultraman standards, Cosmos is gentle and kind, only killing his enemies if no peaceful solutions can be achieved. In fact, he has the lowest kill ratio of all Ultras, with only a few genuinely evil/unredeemable enemies being killed.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: It's alluded to through AllThereInTheManual and eventually confirmed in ''Series/UltraGalaxyFightTheAbsoluteConspiracy'' that Cosmos is actually the result of Ultraman Legend splitting in two to become him and Justice.
* MartialPacifist: Cosmos often uses defensive maneuvers when battling, as he tries to avoid provoking fights and battles only to subdue his enemies.
* MultiformBalance: Cosmos has two forms he switches between depending on the situation.
** SquishyWizard: Luna Mode, his default blue form, uses a variety of healing, purification, and calming powers in order to pacify berserk monsters. It is powered by Cosmos' own kindness.
** JackOfAllStats: His Corona Mode, where he gains lots of red in overlap with his blue patterns. This form is powered by Cosmos' strength, and is mainly used if killing is the only way to end the conflict.
** SuperMode: His Eclipse Mode, which he gains in Episode 30. It combines the powers of Luna and Corona Mode through Musashi's own courage. However, it can only be used for one minute.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In ''Film/UltramanSaga'', Cosmos fought in his Luna Mode form despite [[SquishyWizard the form being incapable of strong attacks]].
** Earlier in his own series, when the baby Arados dies saving him from Ragstone Mechalator, who was sent to kill Cosmos so Nowar could kidnap the baby Arados, Cosmos wordlessly destroys Nowar's spaceship with him on it for it.
** In general, if he goes all-out and foregoes his usual MartialPacifist fighting style, you know he's been absolutely pissed off and will lay a smackdown on, if not outright destroy, those who dared to provoke him far.
* TechnicalPacifist: His fighting style in Luna Mode and most of his forms relies heavily on defending himself and subduing his foes rather than hurting them.

[[caption-width-right:242:[[labelnote:spoiler]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ultraman_noa.png[[/labelnote]]\\
[[spoiler:His true form, Ultraman Noa]]]]
A being of light from space, while on Earth he lends his powers to the Deunamists to face the Space Beasts. He is the same Ultraman from ''Film/UltramanTheNext'', and unique in that he hops from host to host multiple times throughout his series. He came to Earth while chasing the One (as Ultraman the Next), and stays here in the hope of finding the one behind the Space Beast attacks. He has since made several appearances in much more kid-friendly ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' material alongside other Ultra heroes.
----
* AdaptiveAbility: As noticed by Illustrator in episode 5, Ultraman Nexus' ability is to adapt his body to his surroundings and grow stronger from each battle. In fact, after his battle as The Next, Ultraman Nexus is the former's ''adapted form'' to better suit with the Earth atmosphere. His multiform balance also embodied the trope, as he started as Anphans but later on becomes Junis and the Junis Blue is a variation of the former. Coupled with his constant bond with different Deunamist over the series' run, [[spoiler:he eventually regained his long lost form, Noa]].
* BroughtDownToBadass: Ultraman the Next is actually a weaker form of Nexus, who is in turn [[spoiler:a weaker form of Noa, due to him losing most of his power when trying to stop the One from reaching Earth.]]
* TheChooserOfTheOne: Due to the fact that Nexus changes between human hosts, allowing him to decide which human is most worthy of holding the Evolthruster.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Made explicitly to be everything Series/UltramanCosmos was not.
* FinishingMove: Unique in that which one he uses depends on which host he has.
** In every form, his Anphans form uses the Cross-Ray Storm, your classic "+"-styled HandBlast used by most Ultras.
** His Junis form uses the Over-Ray Storm, which is an "L"-shaped version of the Cross-Ray Storm, similar to some Ultras.
** Junis Blue has the Arrow-Ray Storm, which allows him to create a giant bow of energy with his right arm that fires a cutting blade of light.
* GodzillaThreshold: Nexus' true power is Core Final, which has his Energy Core on the chest releasing a burst of energy. This is only used during emergency occasions and so far, each Dunamists used it once with varying effect:
** Himeya used it to partially revive Nexus from the dead.
** Komon used it in a director's cut of episode 31 to escape Banpira's strong webbing, releasing a stream of energy ray from his chest.
** [[spoiler:Komon used it in final episode to shuffle every available forms of Nexus up to that point before regaining his lost form, Ultraman Noa]].
* HandBlast: Asides from his Finishing Moves, Nexus can toss out small bolts of light called Particle Feathers.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: As narrated by Sera in episode 24, Nexus fights by choosing his Deunamists, whose desire to protect others becomes the source of his power. The official website proclaims that Nexus operates in the concept of bonds, but the constant meddling of TLT in filtering the information of Ultraman and Space Beast in the public severely drains him from his strength.
* MeaningfulName: Anphans is a mutation of "enfance", the French word for "childhood", while Junis is from "jeunesse", or "youth". [[spoiler:And Ultraman Noa is named after the Noah of the Bible.]]
* MultiformBalance: Like many Heisei Ultras, Nexus is able to shift modes, but unlike most, his alternative forms are based on his current human host.
** JackOfAllStats: Anphans, the default form of Nexus, which is gray.
** LightningBruiser: Junis, the form used by Jun Himeya. It's the traditional red color of almost all Ultramen.
** FragileSpeedster: Junis Blue, the form used by Ren Senjyu. It's blue, like Cosmos.
** SuperMode: [[spoiler:Ultraman Noa, his true form. The most powerful Ultra in the franchise, behind [[Series/UltramanLeo Ultraman King]].]] The only reason why the series even began in the first place is because Nexus lost that form when battling the One.
* MysteriousPast: He's something of a legend, even amongst other Ultramen, as he was an Ultraman before the other Ultras even existed. Rumor has it he was birthed from a supernova.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Due to the fact that Nexus was at first meant to be a complete reimagining of the original Series/{{Ultraman}}, his design drastically differs from any Ultra before or after.
* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler:His true form Ultraman Noa is one of only two Ultras to be classified a god, the other being Ultraman King.]]
* PhantomZone: The Meta Field, a subspace created by Nexus to fight the Space Beasts without risk of civilian casualties or of being discovered. It puts considerable stress on the user's body after three minutes of continuous use.
* TimeAbyss: The ''oldest'' Ultra in existence at over 350 thousand years old.
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:Alongside Nagi, Nexus silently becomes this to Ishibori in order to revive Dark Zagi to glory. His bonding with Deunamist and constant battles with Space Beast/Dark Giants was to empower him before Nagi becomes his latest host and for Ishibori to harvest Nexus' powers]].

A mysterious Ultraman whose Spark Doll resides in the Ginga Spark, Ultraman Ginga hails from the Land of Light's distant future and was prophesied in M78 legend. He has fought against his sworn enemy Dark Lugiel across the cosmos and through time, eventually arriving in the present where he manifested in Hikaru.
----
* AllYourPowersCombined: Ginga Strium, accessed by the fusing with Ultraman Taro via the Strium Brace. In this form he can use the special moves of the Six Ultra Brothers – Ultraman, Zoffy, Ultraseven, Jack, Ace, and Taro. This form is no longer accesible after Taro left with his job on Earth is done.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: The Ginga Saber, an energy blade formed from his right arm.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Ginga's light-up panels change color for each of his moves -- blue default, red for fireballs, yellow for thunderbolts, green for healing, and purple for the Ginga Slash.
* CosmicMotifs: His name is literally the Japanese for Galaxy. In addition, his crystals change color as a reference to the multitude colors of the galaxy.
* HealingHands: The Ginga Comfort, which works a lot like many of Series/UltramanCosmos' powers by showering the enemy with a calming, healing light.
* TheHero: This is as much his story as it is Hikaru's. He's the one who beat Dark Lugiel in the original Dark Spark War and their battle continues into the present day.
* PlayingWithFire: The Ginga Fireballs, in which he summons homing orbs of fire that he can direct at his foes as he pleases.
* ProngsOfPoseidon: He can summon the Ginga Spark Lance, a trident-like weapon, for combat.
* ShockAndAwe: The Ginga Thunderbolt creates a vortex of lightning to engulf monsters.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Kiyotaka Uji, Bryan Forrest (English dub)
An Ultraman who hails from the ancient underground civilization of the Victorian people, Ultraman Victory is the guardian of the Victorium stones that allow their civilization to flourish, with his Victory Lance passed through generations. But when dark forces begin to steal the crystals, Victory is forced to head to the surface to find the enemy, lending his power to the Victorian prince Shou. He debuts in ''Ultraman Ginga S''.
----
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: Victory has several V-shaped crystals adorning his body.
* EquippableAlly: How the Spark Dolls work for him. Instead of turning into a monster, he gains a piece of them to use as a weapon on his right arm.
** ArmCannon: By using the [[Series/UltraSeven King Joe]] [[Series/UltraGalaxyMegaMonsterBattle Custom]] Spark Doll, Victory gains the robot's powerful Pedanium Launcher.
** CoolSword: By scanning Shepherdon's Spark Doll, Victory will be armed with the Shepherdon Saber, a sword that resembles said monster's back crystal.
** PlayingWithFire: Gains this with the [[Series/UltraGalaxyMegaMonsterBattle EX Red King]] Spark Doll.
** PowerFist: The EX Red King Spark Doll gives him the monster's massive fist, allowing him to not only punch harder, but create fiery eruptions by slamming the ground.
** PowerPincers: His Sadorah Scissors, gained from using the [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Sadorah]] Spark Doll. Like the monster, he can stretch out the pincer arm to impossible lengths to hit foes from afar.
** ShockAndAwe: The [[Series/UltraSeven Eleking]] Spark Doll grants him lightning-based abilities.
** WhipItGood: He gains this from the [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Gudon]] and Eleking Spark Dolls, with the latter keeping Eleking's electric powers.
* FinishingMove: '''Victorium Shoot''': His signature move, which appears as an orange beam with multiple light orange Vs in it. Victory draws an energy V by raising his hands and the V and yellow energy is absorbed in the V Crystal on his right arm. It is fired from an "L" position from the V Crystal on Victory's wrists, which means it is fired from the back of his hand.
* MultiformBalance:
** JackOfAllStats: His normal form.
** SuperForm: Ultraman Victory Knight, an enhanced version of Victory. His red and black markings replaced with blue and silver and his V Crystals turned red. His main weapon is the [[MixAndMatchWeapon Knight]] [[MusicalAssassin Timbre]], a sword/flute object.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Ultraman Victory is one of the few Ultras that doesn't have a circular color timer, instead having a V-shaped one. He also has a lot of black in his design, something rare for a good-aligned Ultra

--->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuuichiNakamura
The titular Ultra, he once tried to stop Greeza in space. As they traveled in the solar system, they clashed against each other until X throws him into the sun but it eventually causes the Ultra Flare incident to happened. At that time, the solar flare also turned his body into a mass of data and thus, he seeks Daichi's help to regain his old form.
----
* BashBrothers: With Daichi.
* TheCape: As typical of most Ultramen, X is very much a straightforward, noble hero.
* EquippableAlly: X can utilize the Cyber Cards, which contain data of Cyber Monsters, to materialize on Ultraman X Mons Armors -- sets of armor and weaponry based on classic Ultra {{Kaiju}}.
** [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Gomora]] Armor:
*** FinishingMove: The Gomora Oscillatory Wave, based on Gomora's Super Oscillatory Wave and used in a similar fashion (except fired from his hands).
*** ShoutOut: All of us were hyped when we realized that the Gomora Armor looks like [=WarGreymon=] from ''{{Franchise/Digimon}}'' franchise.
*** WolverineClaws: The Gomora Claws on his armor -- enlarged, cybernetic versions of Gomora's own claws.
** [[Series/UltraSeven Eleking]] Armor:
*** ArmCannon: The {{BFG}} on its left arm.
*** FinishingMove: The Eleking Electric Shockwave, which is a huge beam of lightning fired from its ArmCannon.
*** ShockAndAwe: Since it's based on Eleking. According to X, Eleking Armor allows him to control electricity, but in the series, he only uses it to create a rope of electrical energy based on Eleking's PrehensileTail.
** [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Bemstar]] Armor:
*** AttackReflector: Like the monster it;s based on, the Bemstar Armor can eat up energy attacks, but unlike Bemstar, it can shoot them back out at enemies.
*** BattleBoomerang: The shield also acts as a boomerang.
*** LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Equipped with a shield that resembles the monster's BellyMouth. It also acts as a claw in melee combat.
** [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Zetton]] Armor:
*** ArmCannon: Is equipped with two of these on each arm.
*** BarrierWarrior: The arm cannons can also produce Zetton's infamous force field, the Zetton Shutter.
*** BrainwashedAndCrazy: Its first use was a trap set up by Alien Sran Quila to corrupt X into his puppet and fight against Ultraman Max. Daichi's quick thinking allows him to use Eleking's card and fry the program that corrupted X to bring him back.
*** PlayingWithFire: Taken from Zetton's ability to shoot fireballs, the Zetton Armor can shoot a powerful fireball to burn monsters into crisp.
*** SpinAttack: A modification of the Zetton Shutter, Ultraman X creates a force field around himself before spinning rapidly like a tornado and slamming himself into the enemy like a gigantic crystal shard.
*** SuperStrength: Even by Ultra Standards, because it uses Zetton's strength stacked on top of Ultraman X's. Even the Alien Sran complimented this form as the ultimate combination.
*** TeleportSpam: Inherited from Zetton, though X does it by temporarily digitizing himself to move about.
** [[spoiler:Hybrid Armor:]]
*** AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler:Has the powers of all 4 [=MonsArmors=], as well as the Xlugger.]]
*** SuperMode: [[spoiler:So super that he only unlocks the power when battling Greeza.]]
** Xlugger:
*** SuperMode: But of course.
*** CoolSword: The Xlugger, which serves as a tribute to the [[Series/UltraSeven Eye Slugger]].
*** MesACrowd: Can split into four different colored clones.
* FusionDance:
** [[spoiler:With all the Spark Dolls in the finale in order to gain his Hybrid Armor form.]]
** [[spoiler:While the Beta Spark is just another, albeit very strong armor, Ultraman and Ultraman Tiga fuse with him to give him the added boost to put Zaigorg down for good.]]
* LetXBeTheUnknown: Daichi originally gives X that name because of how little Xio knows about him.
* MotorMouth: Downplayed. X isn't a chatterbox in-series, but he and Daichi are unusual in that they actually have a bond that grows throughout the series. Usually the Ultraman doesn't get this level of dialogue or development, but X stands out.
* MyGreatestFailure: X thought that when he threw Greeza into the sun, he ended its reign of terror. However, Greeza's death unleashed uncontrollable energy which then reacted with the sun and initiated the Ultra Flare. This leads to an awakening and subsequent rampage of slumbering spark dolls.
* SealedGoodInACan: Or sealed good in cyberspace.
