Ultraseven
After the destruction of Aron, Alien Guts analyzed every aspect of Ultraseven including his human disguise of Dan Moroboshi. They were later planning on how to defeat Ultraseven, one of the Aliens suggested to kill Dan Moroboshi, but the other Guts said that is better to kill Ultraseven: They were going to fight him, defeat him, show to humanity that he was defeated and the humans would be left with no choice but to surrender to them.

At the Ultra Garrison, many false alarms were going off, the alarm sounded again, Dan Moroboshi and Anne were sent to patrol and see what was happening. That night as Dan and Anne went on patrol, several cars with no drivers cornered them. Dan quickly discovered that they were being driven by Alien Guts, who revealed himself and began to taunt him. After another Guts appeared, the first one shot Dan with a gun and forced him to flee while his adversary was chasing him. Suddenly two more Alien Guts appeared out of nowhere, making it extremely difficult for Dan to flee and forced him to summon Windam. However, before Windam could lay a hand on Alien Guts, a saucer appeared out of nowhere and killed him. After growing much larger, Alien Guts decided to leave to finish of Ultraseven later.

The next day, a bizarre glass casing made itself known, drawing out the Ultra Garrison and attacking them. After the alien destroyed a bridge to prevent the escape of Dan, he turned into Ultraseven with Guts arriving to the scene immediately. However, Alien Guts was capable of standing up to any assault Ultraseven could execute and managed to tire him out.

After the alien used its paralysis ray, a Crystal Cross trapped Ultraseven within it. With Ultraseven out of the way, Alien Guts set his sights on the Self Defense Force and used his saucer to slaughter them. After the battle, Alien Guts showed the crucified Ultraseven and told the humans to hand Earth over to them or else more lives would be lost. Not wanting to go down without a fight, the Ultra Garrison started constructing a new weapon that could pierce the Crystal Cross imprisoning Ultraseven. The Crystal Cross retreated by teleportation before Ultra Garrison could revive Ultraseven's power done by hitting the orb on Ultraseven's forehead with their fighters' energy bolts. After Alien Guts's magnetic wheel failed to capture one of the local racers that was helping the Ultra Garrison, Ultraseven's location was found on a hillside. Alien Guts summoned three saucers to try and kill Ultraseven, but the TDF MRI used its laser stream, equipped with a device called the Magnerium Medicalizer, on the hero's orb and managed to revive him. Using the Break Beam to free himself, Ultraseven began to launch Handshake Rays to the three ships until they were destroyed. He then set out to target Alien Gut's main saucer. After a barrage of knife cutters, strengthened by the sun's energy, the alien began to panic as the inside of his saucer began to overheat and damage the machinery. Ultraseven finished off Alien Guts and his saucer with the Eye Slugger.

 * The Guts roar-like groans were reused from the alien Dada that appeared in the original Ultraman series.
 * Alien Guts' first appearence in Episode 39 is very simillar to the orginal Ultraman's episode 39,as Guts defeated Ultraseven and like Alien Zetton, Alien Guts sent a monster to Ultraseven,Aron only for testing Ultraseven's abilites instead letting Aron defeat him and Alien Guts, like Zetton stopped Ultraseven's Beam Lamp.
 * Alien Guts' episodes were originally to be a standard one episode and were to be called the Alien Slugga (スラッガ星人). They would be numbered S1 to S5 and the number S5 Slugga would serve as the equivalent to what became their servant Aron. Other documents claimed there were another group as well as the S group numbered G1 to G4.

 * The Guts' design were originally going to have their brains exposed to show their brains developing. This idea was turned down by Eiji Tsuburaya as he deemed it too grotesque. They then had the idea of the heads being transparent hoods, yet this was changed to an issue with materials. As such, they were designed as they are shown. Remnants of the developing brains idea are retained in their head design.

Heisei Ultra Seven
Another Alien Guts attempted to conquer the Earth. Their plan was to mutate mankind using the monster Sulfas. He gained willing volunteers by explaining that with the increase in pollution from mankind, the Earth would become uninhabitable for their species unless they evolved quickly. However the fully transformed humans were little more than animals allowing Alien Guts to use them as they willed. When Seven, in the form of Masaki Mazimori, investigated the compound, Guts was able to defeat the Ultra. However, the hero was allowed to leave, under the belief that the revealing of his plan would force the TDF and thus Earth to submit to him. However, the TDF refused and launched an attack on the compound, tranquilizing all inside. Alien Guts fled and called his monster to attack the humans. When Seven appeared to fight him, he assisted his monster via his spaceship. They were eventually destroyed when Seven shot their ship.

Ultraman Mebius & the Ultra Brothers
Arriving in the city of Kobe in their invisible spaceship, four aliens of the Alien Union -Alien Temperor, Alien Guts, Alien Nackle and Alien Zarab - searched for the site where the mighty choju, U-Killersaurus, lay sealed. These four aliens formed an alliance in order to destroy the Ultra Brothers, once and for all. They planned to release U-Killersaurus and Yapool, causing a global panic, during which, they would invade the Earth. With the Ultra Bros. unable to transform due to using the Final Cross Shield to seal U-Killersaurus, they only obstacle was Ultraman Mebius.

Their plan was to first observe his powers, but Temperor was impatient, and proclaimed that it was unnecessary. He said he would destroy Mebius on his own, and then become the leader of the group. The other three let him go out on his own, secretly deciding to use him as a guinea pig to study Mebius' powers. In the end, Temperor was defeated by Mebius. However, thanks to him, the remaining aliens had all the information they needed on Mebius. Zarab went ahead for phase two of their plan; to capture Aya Jinguji, a friend of Mirai's, take her place, and then poison him with a phony drink. Mebius managed to stop his plans and destroy him, but with Mebius now weakened, Nackle and Guts moved on to phase three of their plan. Guts appeared before Mebius, and effortlessly managed to trap him into a crystal crucifix. Kobe was then surrounded by an isolation field from their spaceship, by which nothing could get in or out. The remaining Ultra Bros. decided to transform one more time in order to save Mebius and the Earth, and appeared before Guts. Nackle soon landed too, and the two aliens stood between the Ultra Bros. and Mebius. A difficult fight ensued, with the Ultra Bros. being overpowered 2 on 1. However, the Ultra Bros. would not give up, and they were soon able to stop Guts and Nackle, if only for a short time.

They then released Mebius from his prison, only to be trapped themselves when Guts and Nackle got back up. After trapping the brothers, they combined their powers to defeat Mebius with one blast of energy. They then called upon their spaceship, which used the light energy of the captured Ultra Brothers to slowly break the seal of U-Killersaurus. Shortly after, however, Mebius somehow regained his strength, and battled both aliens with little trouble. Later,Ultraman Mebius fired his Mebium Shoot into Guts,causing the seijin to tip over slightly and blow to pieces before he even hit the ground. Now only Alien Nackle remained.

Ultraman Ginga
Alien Guts appeared in Ultraman Ginga as a Spark Doll. In episode 7, he along with many other monsters cheered Ultraman Ginga on as he fights Dark Galberos. It is likely that Guts returned to space in his original form after Ginga defeated Dark Lugiel.

Ultraman Ginga S
An Alien Guts appeared in this series as Vorst. Originally the supporting antagonist of the first half, he was promoted to the secondary antagonist in the second half after his own rival One Zero defected and changed her name to Mana.

Ultraman Orb The Movie: Lend Me The Power of Bonds!
An Alien Guts by the name Doppel (ドッペル) is appeared in this movie where he was first summoned as member of Dark Alien Army summoned by Mulnau through her Dark Ring to finish off Ultraman Orb alongside Alien Hipporito and Alien Temperor while the former was about to be finished off by Alien Gapiya Sadeath. The three of them unleashed their signature attacks on the Ultra, with Doppel's being his Bind Beam, knocking him down in the process and leaving him wide open for the three of them to capture Orb for Mulnau and transported away, leaving Sadeath frustrated.

Doppel later appeared to chase the SSP members around Mulnau's castle with the help of Bullton's powers and yet, they found what they were looking for and managed to escape.

Doppel later appeared as he held the SSP members hostage with his Paralysis Ray while Ultraman Orb Trinity and Zeppandon were fighting Temperor, Hipporito, and Deavorick and then forced Orb to give up and kept them hostage until he was shot by Ittetsu Shibukawa, which lead to him chasing all four of them and then obtained the Dark Ring after all four of them were fighting over it and ended up losing it until Jugglus Juggler tackled Doppel, got the Dark Ring back and then used his powers to cast the powerful item away, reversing the effects of Mulnau's jewelry attacks and greatly upsetting her.

He later grew to kaiju size and fought against the Ultra Warriors, with Doppel fighting Ultraman X after the alien army launched their attacks on the Ultras, who deflected and dodged the attacks. Although Doppel cloned himself, X held the upper hand with his Gomora Armor, but as the day went by, X discarded the armor. When his old rival Ultraseven appeared, Doppel acted terrified of his appearance. The alien later resumed his battle with the Ultra with the two of them being evenly matched in combat until Doppel decided to outnumber the Ultra by cloning himself five times, and the six of them struck at X with their Paralysis Rays, only for the Ultra to fly away and destroy them all with his Attacker X, ending Doppel's service to Mulnau.
