- Tregear to Taro in Taiga episode 1

Ultraman Tregear (ウルトラマントレギア) is the main antagonist Ultra Warrior of Ultraman R/B The Movie and Ultraman Taiga.

Past
Tregear was a scientist from Nebula M78 (Land of Light), and a close friend of Ultraman Taro before he fell to the dark side. Long before the events of Ultraman R/B, Ultraman Tregear was stated to be responsible for the destruction of several planets. The way he achieved this was by meddling with the hearts of said planets' inhabitants.

Over 1,300 years ago, Tregear had altered the DNA of Reugosite, forcing the peaceful creature to go rampant, leading to its first battle with the three siblings from Planet Sanja.

Ultraman R/B The Movie: Select! The Crystal of Bond
Tregear is a mysterious warrior who seemed to have appeared from nowhere. His fighting skills are as strong as those of Ultraman Groob and Geed Ultimate Final. Tregear contacts Yukio Toi, a friend of Katsumi Minato, and helps him realize his dream of destroying the world he hates, corrupting him into Snake Darkness in the process.

Ultraman Taiga
Prior to the series, Tregear fought against the New Generation Ultras near the Land of Light and confronted his old friend Taro after defeating them all. Even when the Tri Squad arrived and successfully striking Tregear several times, he reduced them into particles before charging at an enraged Taro. Twelve years later, Tregear reappeared as the arch-nemesis of Ultraman Taiga and relentlessly targets him. While hunting down Taiga on Earth, he assumes the form of a man named Kirisaki, who calls down monsters such as Hellberus to do his bidding. He personally attacks Taiga simply to spite him and his human host Hiroyuki Kudo after Hiroyuki's former pet Guesra Chibisuke was spotted in Japanese waters. Tregear kills Chibisuke to further enrage Hiroyuki, before taking his leave.

Personality
Not much known about Tregear's personality, but it is shown that he is a sadistic and remorseless manipulator and/or trickster who deceives people by offering to "fulfill their dreams" as demonstrated on Yukio Toi, he had used the man's hatred towards the world to turn him into the kaiju Snake Darkness.

Tregear also seems to enjoy mocking Taiga, dodging all of his attacks while countering them easily. He even taunts Taiga multiple times during their first fight on Earth and took his Flame Buster head on, knowing that it would not hurt him. Tregear also calls him "son of Ultraman Taro" instead of acknowledging his name, which serves to further fuel Taiga's anger.

Body Features

 * Eyes: Tregear's red eyes are unusually small for an Ultra, which may be because they are mostly covered by the mask-like object on his face.
 * Armor: Tregear's body is covered in black and gold armor plating. This armor demonstrated the capabilities of withstanding an Ultra’s finisher without flinching.
 * Color Timer: Tregear, like most Ultra Warriors, possesses a Color Timer. However, it is kept concealed behind an X-shaped golden armour plate.
 * Claws: Tregear possesses yellow claws on his fingers.

Transformation
Kirisaki presses the button at the top of the Tregear Eye to open it up, changing its design from Tregear's chest to his mask. He holds the device near his face as his face is covered with a dark blue aura and his eyes shine red. Tregear then morphs into his Ultra Form and grows to giant size.

Abilities

 * Projection: Tregear can project himself through a computer or television screens to communicate, even being able to transport his body through it.
 * Trera Phantasma (トレラ・パンタスマ): Tregear can project scenes and events that are happening elsewhere, and show them to others.
 * Teleportation: Tregear can disappear and reappear somewhere else.
 * Trera Thyra (トレラ・スラー): Tregear creates a wormhole in the sky. He can transport himself or parts of his body through it.
 * Mental Corruption: Tregear is able to influence the mental state of other beings.

Special

 * Trera Ultigeyser (トレラアルティガイザー): Tregear conjures a swirling energy rift that forms a 5-pointed insignia, from which powerful electrical bolts are released.
 * Trera Cheir Phos (トレラケイルポス): A dark blue electrical beam fired from Tregear's hands. "Cheir Phos" is Greek for "Hand Lightning".
 * Trera Ardiga (トレラアルディガ): Two handed version of Trera Cheir Phos. It has the same strength as Groob's Delta Breastranser if combined.
 * Opto Dacrys (オプトダクリス): A red beam fired from Tregear's eyes.
 * Ischyros Heba (イキュロス・イーバ): An energy shield, durable enough to withstand Grigio Regina's Erga-Trio Cannon.

 * Dark Fireball: Tregear can release dark fireballs from his hands.
 * Hand Slash: Tregear can fire a blast of energy from his hands.

Physical

 * Geargy Dirge (ギアギダージ): Tregear's energy drill attack. Strong enough to revert Ultras in powered up form back to their normal form.


 * Ultra Dynamite: A dashing attack in which Tregear is engulfed in flames, and explodes on contact. Its power seems to rival Taro's Ultra Dynamite. Unlike Taro's Dynamite, which takes the form of conventional red fire, Tregear's flames are bright blue.
 * Palm Strike: Tregear discharges energy through the palm of his hand. It can send another Ultra flying.

Ultraman New Generation Chronicle
Tregear appeared in episode 13, introducing himself to Pega and Booska from another dimension and mentioning about villains who appeared in the past.

Trivia

 * In an interview with Yuma Uchida, he mentions that his first voice over as Tregear was the first commercial for the film. It wasn't until the actual recording of the film that Yuma managed to capture the impression of his character, which he portrayed someone who is "neither good nor evil".
 * From the pamphlet of Ultraman R/B the Movie, Masayoshi Takesue (the main director of Ultraman R/B) confirmed that Tregear was going to be the next recurring Evil Ultra Warrior, succeeding Ultraman Belial.
 * While Masayoshi's words were proven true, they were taken almost too literally, giving Tregear an origin which very similar to Belial's (both were former residents of Land of Light and were estranged from Father of Ultra and Taro).
