Ultraman Geed (character)

"Please state your post-Fusion Rise designation." "Uh... Geed! Ultraman Geed!"

- Riku Asakura and RE.M., Welcome to the Secret Base

Ultraman Geed (ウルトラマンジード), (Known as Young Ultraman (若きウルトラマン) by Father of Ultra) is the main hero of his series. The synthetic son of the infamous Reionic Ultra Ultraman Belial, Geed was born at an unknown point in the Crisis Impact Timeline, and has spent most of his life on Earth unaware of his origins.

Etymology
Riku came up with the name himself, and is derived from his motto "Sitting around doing nothing will get us nowhere! (ジーッとしててもドーにもならねえ！)", though it is confirmed later in the series that his name comes from the words "Gene" and "Destiny", with the D and E in "Destiny" swapping places.

His name could also be derived from the words "Gene" (ジーン) and "Seed" (シード). The word "Gene" refers to the DNA of each Ultras respectively, contained within the Ultra Capsules. Alternatively, as the cloned son of Belial, he bears nearly identical genes to his father. For 'seed', this may refer to how Geed was grown from Belial's genetic material. In addition to this, Geed as Riku spent many years not knowing of his past, until RE.M. 'germinated' his knowledge of his true self.

Ultra Fight Orb
As a heavily wounded Reibatos, who just managed to survive his last battle with Ultraman Orb, tried to revive Ultraman Belial, (only to fail and realize that Belial is still alive) Geed in his Primitive form arrived and finished off Reibatos with his Wrecking Burst. However in the final episode of his series, it was revealed that Belial was actually the one whom killed Reibatos with his Deathcium Ray instead of Geed.

Discovering His Identity
During the past, Geed was created by Ultraman Belial and Kei Fukuide, essentially creating an artificial Ultra by growing Riku Asakura from Belial's genetic material.

19 years later, after a series of events that led to the young boy's adoption of his mantle as an Ultraman (to which he christens as "Ultraman Geed"), Belial and Kei put their long term plan into motion by having him fighting against monster attacks while harvesting the Ultra Capsules from Little Star hosts. Of course, Riku as well immediately learned of his true heritage as Belial's son from the Nebula House operator, RE.M.. Regardless of the public opinion regarding Geed (either his similarity to Belial or the fact that his allegiance is still ambiguous), Riku decided to use his newfound power to protect humanity. Over time Riku gained, new forms from the Capsules he obtained and was joined by his father's nemesis; Ultraman Zero.

During his first fight with Pedanium Zetton, Riku learned the true objective behind his birth and the theft of all but one capsule rendered him powerless until his encounter with Sui Asakura, the man who gave Riku his name. This led to the acquirement of Father of Ultra's Capsule, using it with Zero's Capsule to transform into Geed Magnificent and renews his spirit by fighting against the fate that was already imposed to him, before regaining his stolen Capsules from the defeated Kei while also getting assistance from Zero.

Facing His Fate
In the middle of a fight against Godo Wynn, Geed finally comes face-to-face with his father Belial. Even with Zero's help, Geed's effort to retaliate becomes fruitless and was kidnapped by Chimeraberos as Belial attempted to absorb/corrupt his own son until Laiha Toba and Ultraman King's intervention foiled his plan. Upon escape, Geed brought the whole conflict to Earth and used all of his available forms before seemingly defeating his father for good with Royal Mega-Master. Despite defeating his father, Kei claimed to have inherited Belial's will, as a result, Geed would face monsters summoned from Kei's Kaiju Capsules or even face Kei directly as Belial Fusion Monsters.

Son VS Father
Belial was revealed to be alive and becomes Belial Atrocious. Geed faced his father again after Zero was almost defeated by Belial, however, Belial was able to overpower his son even in his Royal Mega-Master form until Father of Ultra's arrival allowed him to retreat a while. Soon, Geed returns with his determination and courage, engaged in a heated final battle with his father. He had used nothing short of a miracle to defeat Belial Atrocious, and forced Belial back into his regular Reionics form, and pulled him into a dimensional rift made by his own and Zegan's beam. Geed fought Belial to the end, somehow having Belial's memories transferred to him, and finally understood his father's pain. Despite that, they would not stop fighting and eventually, Geed destroyed Belial for good with his Wrecking Burst.

TBA

Profile
While still young and inexperienced, Geed is notable for possessing potent fighting instincts, his skill in battle growing that he could take on much greater opponents in Primitive form, even those that easily trounced more experienced Ultras and even himself in Primitive Mode. He was eventually able to overpower his father, Belial, in Primitive mode, and was stated by King to have 'infinite potential'.

Transformation
Riku first activates a pair of Ultra Capsules, causing apparitions of the Ultras to appear as he inserts them into the Loading Knuckle. After scanning both Capsules, Riku says his signature catchphrase depending on his Fusion Rise, while bringing his right arm out before swinging it counterclockwise until it points up. Then he raises the Riser before bringing it back down to his chest, and pressing the trigger of Riser, causing his body to transform into his Ultra form, soon being covered in light and the face of Ultraman Belial Early Style. He forgoes most of these when transforming into his Royal Mega-Master form.

{{#tag:tabber| Primitive= {{#tag:tabber| Standard= {{quote|You go! I go! Here we go! Time to get ready! Geed!|Activation announcement for Primitive}} After scanning both capsules, Riku presses the trigger of Geed Riser then his body transforms into his Ultra form. During the rise sequence, the background first appears to resemble Ultraman's rising scene (A red background) then Belial's eyes appears briefly before changing to a purple background. As he moves closer, the background changes yet again into spiraling light blue and dark red energy.

Forms
{{#tag:tabber| Original= Original Form Geed's original form without the use of Fusion Rise. It is currently inaccessible to him and only serves as a transition stage during his Fusion Rise.

Being the son of Belial, he resembles Belial in his Early Style form, but has blue eyes and his own capsule-shaped Color Timer. Whenever it appears, it is covered in light.

This form debuts in episode 1.

In this form, Geed fights in a similarly wild manner to Belial while retaining Ultraman's sense of justice in his heart.


 * Techniques
 * Special


 * {{nihongo|Wrecking Burst|レッキングバースト|Rekkingu Bāsuto}}: Geed's finisher attack, Geed puts his arms in a plus (+) sign, with his right arm vertical and his left one horizontal, he can fire a powerful beam from his right vertical hand that can destroy monsters in one hit. Said to be 700,000 degrees Celsius in temperature, and as shown during the final battle, is roughly equal or possibly even slightly stronger than Belial's Deathcium Ray.
 * An uncharged version of the Wrecking Burst was used in Ultra Fight Orb, but it is unknown if it is any less powerful due to it only being used on an already dying Reibatos. It was revealed in the final episode of his series that it was Belial whom used his Deathcium Ray to kill Reibatos instead, so canonically Geed did not actually use it.
 * {{nihongo|Geed Barrier|ジードバリア|Jīdo Baria}}: Geed can summon an energy shield to block attacks from the opponent.
 * {{nihongo|Wrecking Ripper|レッキングリッパー|Rekkingu Rippā}}: Red energy arcs shot out from his hands.

Standard Abilities

 * Weapons


 * Geed Claw (ジードクロー): Geed's handheld weapon, used for close range combat. The energy it releases reflects that of Geed's forms.
 * Claw Cutting (クローカッティング): Activated by pressing the trigger once, then pressing its Deciding Switch, Geed can fire a two-pronged projectile blade that drills into its target before exploding.
 * Corkscrew Jamming (コークスクリュージャミング): Activated by pressing the trigger twice, then pressing its Deciding Switch, Geed first leaps, then spins in a manner of a human bullet while holding the Geed Claw in front of him and strikes the enemy. Can also be used to quickly defend against an enemy attack.
 * Diffusion Shower (ディフュージョンシャワー): Activated by scanning the yellow tab on the blade of the Geed Claw via the Riser, which makes the Riser announce Shift into Maximum! (シフトイントゥマキシマム!). Riku then presses the Expansion Switch, causing the blades to open up to the sides, then he presses the trigger thrice and finally, he presses the Deciding Switch to initiate the attack. Geed fires an energy bolt from the Geed Claw to the sky and it rains onto the target in a shower of light.
 * Barrier The Geed Claw is able to generate a barrier to block enemy attacks.

Combinations
Like Orb, the Ultras used in each of Geed's forms share something in common with each other.


 * Fusion Rise (In-Series)
 * Ultraman + Ultraman Belial = Primitive: Both Ultras are infamous for their hunching positions and were initially planned to have mouth-opening mechanisms before they were scrapped. Aside from that, the Another Genesis counterparts of Belial is suspected by the readers to have possessed Ultraman. Prior to Belial's conception, the original plan for Ultraman is to be the final antagonist in the final episode of Ultra Q. As the term "Primitive" suggests, it also refers to how these Ultras are the first in the following aspects:
 * Ultraman is the first Ultra to arrive and fight monsters on Earth. He is also the first to be created, hence some of the later Ultras who end up borrowing his archetype.
 * Belial is the first Ultra from the Land of Light to defect to the side of evil. Unlike many evil Ultras, he is the first (and only) one to live on and continue to antagonize every heroic Ultra afterwards.
 * Ultraseven + Ultraman Leo = Solid Burning: Following his arrival on Earth, Leo was mentored by Seven during his missions. Both of their series also focused on a serious and horrifying genre where they each entered a state of dilemma.
 * Seven: He kept wondering if the human race was worth protecting due to witnessing their ugly sides (bombing of Pegassa City, Planet Gyeron, Nonmalt City, etc.).
 * Leo: He faced the tragedy of losing his family and friends, as his home world was destroyed by Alien Magma and later on lost his friends and MAC members to Silver Bloome's attack.
 * Ultraman Cosmos + Ultraman Hikari = Acro Smasher: Both are blue-colored Ultras who experienced remorse from a dead planet and spent their time chasing the masterminds of their respective series to Earth before they took on a human host. As part of the blue tribe, both Ultras are proficient in strategies and the use of speed in combat.
 * Ultraman Zero + Father of Ultra = Magnificent: Both Ultras are related as Belial's bitter enemies and are among the strongest warriors in existence. The actor for Zero's current human host nominated Father as his favorite character from his childhood. They are also key members of a peacekeeping organization.
 * Father: Supreme Commander of the Space Garrison.
 * Zero: Founder of the Ultimate Force Zero.
 * Ultraman King + Ultraman Belial = Royal Mega-Master: At least according to a certain source, Belial is actually terrified of King as he was the only one capable of defeating him during the Belial Revolt. King and Belial are both Ultra Warriors with an association to leading figures (the former's appearance is themed after European rulers, while the latter had become a ruler (king and emperor) on two occasions), as well as among the few genuine Ultras to have red/orange eyes as their natural coloration. Whereas King is capable of observing the multiverse, Belial was known to have traveled through different universes at one point to spread his influence.


 * Fusion Rise (Game-Exclusive)
 * Ultraman + Ultraman Zero = Shining Mystic: Both Ultras had to, at least once, depend on the power of Baraji to defeat an otherwise unbeatable opponent. Ultraman Zero himself likes comparing things to 20,000 years in his speech, which is the same age as the original Ultraman. Also worth noting is that the actor for Ultraman's human host mentioned that his favorite Ultraman is Zero.
 * Ultraman Belial + Ultraman Orb = Tri-Slugger: Both Ultras are estranged from their former partners and briefly lost their personal weapons for an unspecified period of time. In their first appearance, their color schemes are red and silver, and later an additional color in black as a result of their actions. They had also used the power of an opposing side for their own.
 * Belial: Possessed and exploited Zero's power to assassinate the latter's own team.
 * Orb: Possessed Belial's Ultra Fusion Card, allowing him to use his dark power for the side of good along with Zoffy's card to form Thunder Breastar.
 * Ultraman Tiga + Ultraman Zero = Mugen Crosser: Both Ultras redeemed themselves for a past atrocity (Tiga was once an evil Ultra as Tiga Dark, while Zero tried to harness the Plasma Spark) and once turned evil from their masterminds. They lack a fixed human host (meaning they merged with more than one human), and resurrected from being defeated by a Dai Kaiju (Gatanothor and Arch Belial) through human hopes, which they utilized in their strongest forms (Glitter Tiga and Ultimate Zero) to destroy said monsters. They are also Ultras that debuted in a revival hiatus for the Ultra Series and gained alternate forms.
 * Tiga: Acquired Type Change forms by absorbing Darramb and Hudra's powers.
 * Zero: Acquired Mode Change forms after his fusion with Dyna and Cosmos.
 * Ultraman Mebius + Ultraman Orb = Brave Challenger: The first King Demon Beast that Orb ever fought in Spacium Zeperion was Maga-Basser whom was sealed away by Mebius, its defeat allowed Orb to obtain Mebius' Ultra Fusion Card and is used as one of the components to form Burnmite. Both Mirai and Gai received their names from their experiences on Earth, and were fond of humanity and the planet's culture.
 * By taking Spacium Zeperion into consideration, all 4 components (Ultraman Orb Spacium Zeperion being made up of Ultraman and Ultraman Tiga) are important milestones to the Ultra Series, with Ultraman being the first Ultra to appear, over 50 years ago, Tiga's series being made during the series' 30th anniversary, Mebius' during the 40th, and Orb's during the 50th. Additionally, Geed was run through 2017, Ultraseven's 50th anniversary. In-series, they have all borrowed the power of bonds at least once throughout their appearances and attained a new form because of it.
 * Zoffy + Ultraman Mebius = Fire Leader: Zoffy himself is partially responsible for the setting of Mebius' series, such as the foundation of GUYS and Hikari's recruitment into the Space Garrison. Discounting the events of Mebius Gaidens, Zoffy is the founding member of the Ultra Brothers while Mebius is the final addition to the group after his battle with Alien Empera.
 * Ultraman Leo + Astra = Le-Over Fist: Both shares the same debut series and were royal princes of Planet L77 of the Leo constellation prior to its destruction. Aside from sharing the same attack, they are also twin brothers but Astra's differences is a result of a facial reconstruction he received due to mutilations he suffered sometime after his homeworld's destruction. Both as well received assistance from Ultraman King during their time in the series and in turn supported him during later occasions.
 * Leo: Obtains his Ultra Mantle and was revived after his dismemberment by Alien Bunyo.
 * Astra: Was rescued from the clutches of Alien Magma, receive his facial reconstruction and had his reputation cleared after being framed by Alien Babarue on Earth.
 * Ultraman Dyna + Ultraman Cosmos = Mighty Trekker: Both Ultra Warriors appeared as supporting characters in Ultraman Saga and Ultraman Orb THE ORIGIN SAGA, the former involved being two of the components of the titular Ultra and indirectly bestowed Ultraman Zero with Mode Change abilities. In their original series, their human hosts are portrayed as rookie members of the attack team, recruited at the same day of their merger with their respective Ultras. They spent the entire series fighting against villains with the ability to create and/or infect monsters to their bidding, all while maturing as part of their character development. At the end of their series/movies, they retained their connection with Ultra Warriors and as the word "Trekker" (Interpreted as "Travellers") suggests, it mirrors to how both of their human hosts are living outside the Earth.
 * Asuka: Travels the multiverse for hundreds of years after the battle with Grasphire suck him into a wormhole.
 * Musashi: Settled his life with a family in Planet Juran as he watched over the migrated monsters from Earth.
 * Ultraman Gaia + Ultraman Hikari = Photon Knight: Gaia's host (Gamu Takayama) and Hikari are scientists that have major contributions/achievements (Gamu obtains a doctorate in quantum physics and Hikari created a life preserving device). At the start of their career as Ultra Warriors, they possess little to no combat capabilities until they improved over time. They also gain an upgrade to their forms, both of which involve obtaining the ability to emit energy swords. They are the only two Ultras that possess a beam where they fire with their horizontal arm in front of the vertical arm.
 * Gaia: Acquires the light of Agul, enabling him to access Gaia V2 and Gaia Supreme.
 * Hikari: Acquires the Knight Brace, allowing him to utilize Knight Shoot and Knight Beam Blade.
 * Father of Ultra + Ultraman Belial = Danded Truth: Both were elite warriors of the Space Garrison before the events of Belial Revolt. They were once friends who participated in the Great Ultra War, an event which also lay major influences in their lives. They are also fathers to a main character Ultra.

Comparisons to Ultraman Orb
It is worth noting that Geed's series adopted many of elements from Ultraman Orb, thus making both Ultras have either similarities to or differences from each other.


 * Similarities


 * Their alter-egos are portrayed as aliens who had lived alongside humanity for years (Gai has been on Earth since 1800 BC, while Riku was raised on Earth since he was a baby).
 * Both Gai and Riku have earthly desires.
 * Gai has a great fondness of hot spring bathing, even claiming they are the best luxury in Earth, but gets annoyed and irritated when others show poor hot spring manners.
 * Riku loves the "Don Shine" tokusatsu series so much that he bought DVDs and rare collectibles of him. His pre-battle catchphrase was also inspired by Don Shine.
 * Both share the same eye coloration (light blue), but turn red as a result of Belial's influence (Orb uses Thunder Breaster (a Fusion Up with Belial's card), while Geed almost fell into his father's corruption).
 * Their actors are both experienced in the acting field, compared to the rest of the New Generation Ultras before them.
 * Both utilize form changes by combining two different Ultras and harness their powers. Including game-exclusive forms, 9 Ultra Warriors (Ultraman, Father of Ultra, Leo, Cosmos, Mebius, Hikari, Zero, Belial, Orb) have been used in more than one combination.
 * Of these Ultra Warriors, Belial has the most combinations with 4. Zero follows second with 3 while the others have 2.
 * Their fusion forms are parallel to each other, but with different components.
 * Primitive/Spacium Zeperion: The standard forms Orb and Geed use that are the most well balanced. Both use the original Ultraman as one of their components, while their respective other component is an Ultra from a distant past who had tapped into the power of darkness.
 * Solid Burning/Burnmite: The red-colored strength forms who both use a teacher and student pair as their components (Taro to Mebius for Burnmite and Seven to Leo for Solid Burning). Both also have the word "burn" in their respective form name and pre-battle catchphrase ("I'm burning in crimson red!" for Burnmite and "Time for my courage to burn bright!" for Solid Burning).
 * Acro Smasher/Hurricane Slash: The blue-colored speed forms who both use weapons that are either from or based off an Ultra in their respective fusion (Jack/Zero's Ultra Lance for Hurricane Slash and Hikari's Knight Beam Blade for Acro Smasher).
 * Magnificent/Thunder Breaster: Both are considered one of their respective Ultra's strongest forms. After Orb lost his Ultra Fusion Cards and Geed lost his Ultra Capsules, they had to use the last items they obtained (Zoffy and Belial Cards and Father of Ultra Capsule). Upon gaining these forms, they fought a monster in which they ultimately won the battle. They've also fought a fusion monster whose components are a Zetton and a monster from Ultraseven (Zeppandon for Orb and Pedanium Zetton for Geed). Each of these forms portray some sort of contradiction to their respective Ultra's nature.
 * Thunder Breaster: One of its components (Belial) is a dark Ultra, which is a contrast to Orb who is a representation of light.
 * Magnificent: Both of its components (Father of Ultra and Zero) are the sworn enemies of Geed's father Belial.
 * Royal Mega-Master
 * Orb Origin: Prior to obtaining these forms, both went through an inner dilemma which took the help of a female protagonist to get them back. Said women also provided the Ultra the final key to access these forms (Orb Origin Card and King Capsule), and then after their respective first usages the entire population eventually started to acknowledge them as true heroes.
 * Orb Trinity: Though both are different with their components, Royal Mega-Master uses the powers of the Ultra Brothers via their capsules while Orb Trinity summons the power of his predecessors. Both also wield a device based on one of their components (Orb Slasher and King Sword) as their transformation item, as well as their main weapon.
 * Ultimate Final/Orb Origin: Both are their respective Ultra's true or last form, as well as having their designs being based on other Ultras (Orb's design resembles the classic Ultraman's design because of simplicity, while Geed's design is closer to the modern Ultramen as being complex). Both also wield a weapon that doubles as their transformation item without the need of Ultra Fusion Cards/Ultra Capsules (Orbcalibur and Giga Finalizer).
 * Both Gai and Riku gain their transformation collectibles by similar means.
 * Gai would fight the Demon King Beasts who inside them held the supressed power of their respective Ultra Warrior who kept them at bay.
 * Riku would attain his Capsule when being prayed on by those who had them, in mid-battle.
 * Or both can gain an Ultra's power if a certain Ultra gave them their blessing and handed them their power.
 * Differences


 * Despite their story lines following the development of their characters, each have different paths:
 * Orb is a war veteran who lacks faith in himself and his own power. As the series progressed, he becomes determined to trust his strength, allowing him to regain Orb Origin.
 * Geed is portrayed as a youth who is new to the world of an Ultra Warrior. As he fights against his father, he decides to face against the path set upon him, emphasizing his growth into an adult.
 * Both have weapons that are tied to their original powers (by disregarding influences from fusion forms). Whereas Orb's Orbcalibur is only exclusive to Orb Origin, Geed can use his Geed Claw in any form.
 * In almost every episode, Orb would use certain fusions whenever the battle calls for it, or he would stick to one fusion for an episode. On the other hand, Geed always transforms into Primitive before switching because he was losing ground. The only time Geed did not turn into Primitive was episode 12 where he had lost his capsules. The reasoning for always defaulting into Primitive is unknown.
 * Gai and Riku gain their Cards/Capsule similar way, but:
 * Gai defeats the Demon King Beasts and then attains the Ultra Fusion Card by extracting their essance after said Kaiju is defeated.
 * Riku on the other hand has be given the power, and some of the hosts of the Ultras' power can be children, adults, aliens, or even Kaiju, unlike Gai before him, it's random individual who has a Little Star.

Trivia

 * Geed's name was written as "Xead" before the reveal.
 * His name is also mistakenly referred as "Zeed" by fans before the reveal, due to the fact the Kana and Hiragana word for "ジ/じ", has the same words as "Zi" and "Ji", if romanized.
 * Geed's Color Timer sound is a reused Belial Early Style Color Timer sound and with some of Ultraman's Color Timer sound in it.
 * At the age of only nineteen, Geed is the youngest Ultra to appear in the series thus far. This is especially unusual, as while Geed appears to be an adult, most Ultras reach the age of adulthood after being alive for several millennia. As explained in Episode 11 of his debut series, this is because Geed was artificially created by Kei through the use of Belial's DNA.
 * His Magnificent and Royal Mega-Master forms also make him the youngest Ultra to possess facial hair, a trait they normally don't acquire until they're 40,000 years old.
 * Geed's grunts in Primitive form are mixed with Belial's grunts.
 * Geed is...:
 * The third Ultra whose father's identity is confirmed, preceded by Zero and Taro.
 * The second Ultra to combine the assets of two past Ultras' to create his own forms, the first being Orb.
 * The sixth Ultra to have blue eyes after Orb, Shining Ultraman Zero, Hudra, Evil Tiga, and Powered.
 * The third Ultra whose eyes aren't round nor boxy like most other Ultras, preceded by Orb Thunder Breaster and Belial.
 * The first Ultra to appear to have visible irises; when under Belial's control in Episode 17 of Ultraman Geed, he has fainter red circles in his bright red eyes which appear to be irises.
 * The fourth Ultra to feature blade-like organs on his arms, preceded by Nexus, The Next, and Powered.
 * In his Acro Smasher form, the third Ultra to fire his beam with his vertical right hand behind his horizontal left hand, instead of in front, preceded by Hikari and Gaia.
 * The eighth good Ultra to feature black markings on his body, preceded by Orb, Victory, Nexus in Junis Form, Justice, Agul, Gaia in both Version 2 and Supreme Version and Tiga as Tiga Dark, Tornado, and Blast forms.
 * The third Ultra to be native to Earth after Agul and Gaia, and the first Ultra in the Showa continuity to be such.
 * GeedDetransform.gif first Ultra since Ginga to not have a Color Timer themed after an English letter.
 * The first Ultra to have an elaborate de-transformation sequence.
 * Geed has slight facial resemblances to Chaiyo Ultramen; Ultraman Elite and Ultraman Millenium. He also slightly resembles Ultraman Powered in some aspects.
 * One of Geed's Fusion Rise, Solid Burning, is rather interesting as his and Zero's roles in the series reflect those of Leo and Seven respectively from Ultraman Leo. The fact that he transforms into Royal Mega-Master is an allusion of how Leo gains the Ultra Mantle from the same Ultra.
 * Ironically, some of Solid Burning's sound effects are re-used from Alien Magma's when using his special ability (For example, when he was performing the Boost Punch for the first time, you can almost hear that it uses Magma's roar). What strange also, is that Alien Magma is both Leo's and Seven's enemy in Leo's series.
 * In an interesting coincidence, their voice cast shares the same voice actor in one media. Similarly, he also voiced an antagonist character in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.
 * Similar to the recent tradition of Toei's Kamen Rider and Super Sentai series, Geed becomes the first Ultra to have a pre-series cameo debut.
 * Acro Smasher is the first fusion that breaks the trend in which Orb had set up, with the older Ultra production wise being first to be scanned then the more recent Ultra. However in Acro Smasher's transformation, Riku scans Hikari's capsule first, then Cosmos'. This can be due to Hikari having made the Ultra Capsules, and is thus getting a creator-based bias. Alternatively, it could also be that Cosmos is not from M78 (which is also referenced by him holding up his left hand instead of the right), and all "outsider" Ultras come later in the theoretical Capsule scanning hierarchy.
 * His Magnificent form transformation disproves the latter theory, as Zero and Father of Ultra both originate from M78, and Zero's Capsule is scanned first, despite having debuted many years later after Father of Ultra.
 * Due to Geed’s fighting style typically being influenced to reflect the Ultra Capsule placed in the second slot of the Loading Knuckle (Primitive’s wild techniques, Solid Burning’s martial art style, etc.), it could be that it is a similar case to the Belial Fusion Monsters, where the first Ultra Capsule would alter the aesthetics of the form while the second one would form the main part of the fusion, including the fighting style incorporated into the fusion.
 * His in-series forms have similar aspects to villains or events from previous Ultra Series staring the components of his Fusion Rise forms, respectively;
 * Primitive: Aside from Belial already contributing to this form, his body coloration is identical to Alien Zarab's disguise as Imitation Ultraman, including his irregular eye shape and black lines on a red and silver body.
 * Solid Burning: Due to the fact that it bears mechanical traits, it is a possible reference to Alien Salome's Robot Ultraseven and the stageshow-exclusive Robot Ultraman Leo.
 * Acro Smasher: His body markings have a slightly resemblance to Chaos Ultraman's, most tellingly being the thigh area. He also bears several aspects to the Aarb Gear of Hunter Knight Tsurugi, who was impersonated by an Alien Babarue.
 * Magnificent: Elements of the Techtor Gear, an armor to imprison Zero as the punishment of his mistake, and the Ultra Key, an item once held by Father of Ultra which had caused a battle between Leo and Ultra Brothers. Another being that had once wear a Techtor Gear is Darklops Zero, who in turn is a robotic doppelgänger of Ultraman Zero.
 * Royal Mega-Master: Both King and Belial are the key figures in the Belial Revolt and Crisis Impact.
 * While transforming or changing his Fusion Rise forms, the sound background plays an Ultra Series intro music (Excluding Royal Mega-Master) from each Ultras respectively, with all being renewed or remixed.
 * Alongside Riku, Geed's DNA is in fact 99% identical to Belial by RE.M. However, he displays no indication of being a Reionics and may not even be one.
 * Geed's usage of the Geed Claw seems to reflect upon the abilities or traits of at least one of each form's components:
 * Primitive: So far the only user of Claw Cutting, which may reflect upon how Belial has claws for fingers.
 * Solid Burning: One of the only two forms that used the barrier technique, which can possibly be attributed to Ultraseven's resilience and/or protectors.
 * Acro Smasher: Diffusion Shower's energy bolts seem to be a reference to Hikari's Knight Beam Blade, and the energy cloud they are called upon from is similar in appearance to when Cosmos charges up his Full Moon Rect.
 * Magnificent: One of the only two forms that used the barrier technique, which may be a reference to Ultraman Zero's Ultimate Aegis, an armour/shield.
 * Royal Mega-Master: Unleashed Diffusion Shower, which had particles that were visually similar to the Carellen element used by Belial's servant, and King's Childhood Radiation.
 * In the early production stages, the Primitive form was supposed to be a form that shared the similar design from Belial Atrocious, with red and black body color, and V-shaped Color Timer. It was possibly rejected because it would be more ironic for him to being made as a protagonist, in his sinistrous form.
 * The Rising sequence for both Primitive and Royal Mega-Master are the same rise, only that now a gold explosion appears and the blue is covered in golden sparkles.
 * His Geed Proof (ジードプルーフ) finisher's name is based off the names of the series' opening theme song and the title of the episode in was used in.
