Ultraman Nice (character)

Ultraman Nice (ウルトラマンナイス, Urutoraman Naisu) is an Ultra who came from the planet TOY-1 in a series of "infomercials" (1 minute toy commercials) presented during the 1999 Japan reruns of Ultraman Tiga. The 1 minute spots, advertising the wide variety of Bandai Ultraman toys, actually do have a storyline, along with some "surprise guests." He also has an alter ego: Dr. Egg, a demonstrator of the toyline Ultra Egg.

History
In a world where Ultraman is nothing more than a television series, a hero does exist, a hero by the name of Ultraman Nice! Much like the characters on the shows, Nice exists to defend humans from the wrath of evil monsters. Taking on the host of Ginga Yumeboshi, member of the GOKAZOKU Team, he’s called into action when Ginga eats a piece of chocolate from his Nice Dreamer wrist band.

Outside of his series Nice is often seen in stage comedy acts, often paired with the other parody Ultra, Ultraman Zearth.

Techniques

 * Very Nice Ray : Nice's signature weapon. Nice forms his arms in the shape of an "X" and tilts his head to the left before firing a powerful, rainbow-colored ray from his arms. It can destroy monsters in one blow.


 * Millenium Shot : An enhanced form of the Very Nice Ray, Ultraman Nice can charge the Millennium Cross to completely obliterate whatever is in his way.


 * Millenium Cross : When needed, Ultraman Nice can fire arrow-shaped blasts of energy from his hand that can cause small explosions.


 * Millenium Kick : Ultraman Nice jumps up in the air and jump-kicks his opponent. A technique he uses on Tabu Zagon.

Transformation
Nice Dreamer: A wristwatch-type container full of chocolate-flavored jelly beans. Ginga Yumeboshi eats one of the candies from inside the container to transform into Ultraman Nice. First after eating the chocolate he will spin and transform, before he grows the same size as Nice.
