Ultraman Ace
Appearing mysteriously in a forest while Alien Metron Jr. planned to destroy TAC. Doragoris made its way towards TAC's HQ, and easily withstood most of TAC's attacks. Hokuto and Minami transformed into Ultraman Ace and fought with the Choju while Metron Jr. attacked the main control center of TAC. The fight lasted a long time until Ace used the Ultra Barrier, an attack which took up a lot of energy, but managed to incapacitate Doragoris by sending him into another dimension.

Once Metron Jr.'s identity was exposed to the others, Yapool brought Doragoris back to Earth to assist Metron Jr., whom was revealed to be working alongside Yapool. Minami and Hokuto transformed back into Ultraman Ace again and fought both Doragoris and Metron Jr. but was quickly overpowered, Things only worsened when the monster Muruchi suddenly appeared, joining in on the fray, and attacking Ace as well. Muruchi's appearance however did not last long after he accidentally rammed into Doragoris, angering the Choju into viciously killing Muruchi by tearing off his jaw and left leg. Ace resumed attacking Doragoris from behind, but it was pointless as Metron Jr. and Doragoris soon double-teamed Ace once again. Ace had no choice but to use the Ace Barrier again, sending both Metron Jr. and Doragoris to another dimension by splitting in two.



Doragoris and Metron Jr. later reappeared to stop a missile that was sent to destroy a meteor that was threatening Earth was nearing its launch. TAC attacked them both until Minami and Hokuto transformed into Ultraman Ace once again. Ace managed to hold both at bay until the missile launched. Ace managed to kill Metron Jr. by slicing him in half with the Ultra Guillotine, but then he was too weak to fight off Doragoris as his color timer began to blink, and Doragoris beat him without mercy until it stopped blinking, and Ace fell to the ground, dead. Just then, the missile from before had struck and destroyed the meteor. Sunlight found its way to Ace's head fin, and his power and life was completely restored! Ace started attacking Doragoris with ease until he punched a hole straight through Doragoris's belly. As the monster cried out in pain, Ace then created a sword to slice off Doragoris' head. He then destroyed the remaining body with his Metallium Ray, ensuring that it stayed dead.

Trivia

 * Doragoris is one of very few kaiju to kill an Ultra. He beats up Ultraman Ace until his color timer stops.
 * Similar to Gyaos in the Gamera saga, their are a few moments where Doragoris can sound like he's screaming his own name.





Ultraman Mebius
Doragoris reappeared in episode 25 of the series Ultraman Mebius.

The second Choju to return to Earth, Doragoris appeared out of the sky from the same dimension that Vakishim emerged from and instantly began attacking the surrounding area. GUYS quickly flew into action, attacking the monster until Doragoris fled back to his dimension without warning. In reality, GUYS learned that this Doragoris was the original and was still trying to destroy the missile base from Ultraman Ace. Taking the form of a large moth, Doragoris attacked a woman whom had befriended GUYS, entering her body and possessing her in order to destroy the weapon. After failing to destroy it, Doragoris left her body and manifested itself into its normal form outside, with Yapool intact. In no time flat, Mirai was able to turn into Ultraman Mebius and the two titans fought hard. Mebius seemed to have the upper hand at first until Doragoris managed to knock down Mebius, grabbing his face with his hand. GUYS knew they had to act fast, and so teamed up with Mebius to attack the Choju. Doragoris then tried to escape using his dimension breaking powers, but Mebius transformed to Brave Mode and ultimately destroyed Doragoris with the Infinity Cross-Beam.

Trivia

 * In this series, Doragoris has the ability to fire red lightning bolts from both his mouth and his eyes.
