Stage 1
[Ep.1: A New Light pt.1]

Sphere first appeared when Training Squad ZERO was having their first outer space training, in which Asuka got the highest score and successfully tagged Kariya and Ryo. The spheres then proceeded to attack the minor auto-pilot station they were around and was later driven away. However, they gunned down Asuka's GUTS Wing 01 and had Asuka meet the mysterious light the was Ultraman Dyna while in space. Later, they attacked the Mars Base and Super GUTS was called on to drive them back. Soon, they unleashed their fearsome Drambia against the humans, but were later driven off by the new giant of light, Ultraman Dyna.

Stage 2
[Ep.35: The Smile of Destruction pt.1]

The Sphere reappeared later on to morph herself with rock from a mountain, thus creating Geomos. After Dyna was defeated by Geomos, the humans retreated.

Stage 3
[Ep.44: The Snow of Venus]

The Spheres reappeared on Venus, and after the Venus station heard the laughter of a wicked woman, Sphere materialized in a spaceship and created the monster Graikis. However, while Dyna was battling the beast, GUTS Eagle Beta and Gamma attacked, destroying the spaceship and the Sphere the formed it.

Stage 4
[Ep.49: The Final Chapter I: A New Shadow]

The Spheres, like in Ep.1, attack the TPC Mars station again with Neo-Drambia II. However, Neo-Drambia II was quickly destroyed by Dyna and the Spheres retreated.

The Spheres returned to create Zeglanoid. After the behemoth was created, Gransphere was formed and ate Pluto. After Zeglanoid was destroyed, the Spheres left to join their sister.

Gransphere
[Ep.51: The Final Chapter III: To Tommrow...]

After the death of Zeglanoid, Gransphere appeared and ate Pluto. Meanwhile, Super GUTS developes a campaign (Battle Against Spheres (BAS) Campaign) and Ryo flys Asuka home after finding him rescued by Daigo Madoka. During the battle at Saturn, the weapon: Neo-Maxima Cannon, was used to destroy Gransphere's most powerful monster: Neo-Gaigeried. However, it the cannon was not powerful enough to kill Gransphere and Saturn was lost. A final effort was made to kill Gransphere at Mars. After the battle (read the Shin Asuka article for more on the BAS Campaign), Gransphere was destroyed. But her death would bring a wormhole of a gap between dimensions to existance. After Dyna was sucked into it, her victims were released and the another wormhole opened, to the Planet of Ultra.

Ultraman Saga
Gransphere will team up with Alien Bat to revive monsters in Ultraman Saga.

Trivia
