History
Gadiba was a snake-like entity that served as the pet of Yapool when he took a human form to hide from GUYS and Mebius. Yapool used Gadiba to assimilate with a Gomora on Johnson Island and a Red King on Tatara Island. When Red King was found, GUYS was quick to appear, but Gadiba's Red King form was much more difficult to stop than they had expected it to be. As a result, Mirai transformed into Ultraman Mebius to do battle against the monster. Red King's body and abilities were no match for Mebius and was ultimately killed by Mebius's Mebium Shot. Gadiba however was still alive and so morphed Red King's body into the Gomora that appeared on Johnson Island. Gomora's body was much more stronger than Red King's was and managed to weaken Mebius. However thanks to the interference of GUYS, Gomora was weakened and Mebius was able to continue battling until Gomora's body was destroyed by Mebius's Mebium Burst and METEOR.

However, a piece of Gadiba was still alive and had gained what Yapool needed: Ultraman Mebius's abilities. Using Gadiba's absorbed abilities, Yapool unleashed a second Ace Killer in Japan to trap Mebius and shortly after, he released the Gadiba to possess the Ace Killer, transforming it into "Mebius Killer." Gadiba as Mebius Killer easily overwhelmed Ultraman Mebius by imitating and enhancing all of Mebius signature attacks and it seemed the Ultra was unable to stop them, but when Mirai was reminded of the friendship he had gained from Aya (a woman he was dating earlier,) he continued to fight for her sake and after a long and vicious battle, Mebius destroyed Mebius Killer with the Mebium Dynamite. With Mebius Killer's destruction, Gadiba perished in the explosion as well.
