Aarb Gear

Aarb Gear (アーブギア) is a set of armor created by the Aarb people for Ultraman Hikari to become Hunter Knight Tsurugi. Initially, it was called the Avenging Armor (復讐の鎧) before Hikari used it properly in his righteous heart, becoming Hero's Armor (勇者の鎧).

Ultraman Mebius & Ultraman Mebius Gaiden: Hikari Saga
After Hikari (whom at that time remained unnamed)'s failure in protecting Planet Aarb from Bogar, he succumbed into depression as remaining Aarb residents fused with him to become the Aarb Gear. Now filled with resentments, he adopted the name Hunter Knight Tsurugi and chased Bogar to Earth. After he managed to kill Bogar with Ultraman Mebius' help, he was killed in action but soon treated by the Mother of Ultra, whom destroyed the armor while treating Tsurugi.

Soon after adopting the name "Ultraman Hikari" and left the Earth, he encountered Alien Babarue, whom wanted to kill him after his refusal to join Babarue in his conquest to conquer space. Once he was about to be killed, energies from Planet Aarb reacted and bestow him the Aarb Gear again, as he escaped and defeated Babarue. While Babarue disguised himself as Imitation Tsurugi, he was shown wearing a copy of Aarb Gear, though had no function. Hikari returned to Earth and revealed Babarue's dirty trick, later killing him using the Aarb Gear.

The armor was destroyed by Alien Empera when Hikari tried to use it against him in his invasion.
