Ultraman Saga (character)



is a super Ultra that appeared in the movie Ultraman Saga. This Ultra is created by a fusion of the three Ultramen: Ultraman Zero, Ultraman Dyna and Ultraman Cosmos, similar to how Ultraman Cosmos and Ultraman Justice fused into Ultraman Legend.

Etymology
Saga is a reference to the stories and legends of the Ultras, the word "Saga" is defined as any narrative or legend of heroic exploits. Synonyms of "saga": epic, story, tale, and history. In other words, this Ultra represents the heroic acts of previous Ultras.

Ultraman Saga
After the Ultramen Zero, Dyna and Cosmos were unable to defeat and supposedly defeat the apocalyptic Hyper Zetton, Taiga Nozomu, Shin Asuka, and Musashi Haruno were left scattered below the kaiju, refusing to give up they kept believing in the Ultramen giving their Ultra halves a new light and merged into one, thus becoming Ultraman Saga. The hero then continued his battle with Hyper Zetton. They were equally matched, and if they continued the match anymore, Saga would lose, but fortunately with the help of Team U, the Fusion Ultraman managed to defeat Hyper Zetton, destroying him with the Maximum Saga, and the 3 Ultras defused back to normal.

Because of this fusion, Zero obtained the forms StrongCorona and LunaMiracle, which would help him out on his later journeys against Belial.
