Ultraman Orb (character)

"I am Orb! I light the Darkness and strike at Evil!"

- Ultraman Orb introducing himself, The Sunset Wanderer

Ultraman Orb (ウルトラマンオーブ) is the main hero of his series. Described as a 'wanderer', Orb continues the theme of Ultras powered by devices that was started three years earlier by Ginga's debut series, being able to utilize the abilities of his fellow Ultras to transform and gain new powers but at the same time finally ended the Spark Dolls trend of said series.

Design
Aesthetically, Ultraman Orb's motif is based on past Ultra Warriors, which is meant to coincide with Tsuburaya's 50th year anniversary of the Ultra Series. The most concrete evidence is his basic form, Spacium Zeperion, which is based on Ultraman and Ultraman Tiga. Of course, it is also meant as a milestone celebration for the two aforementioned Ultra Warriors' titular series, celebrating their 50th and 20th anniversary respectively. Originally, Ultraman Orb was first teased in a promotional video by Tsuburaya Productions which commemorate the aforementioned anniversary. At the end of the video, a black background with a pair of Ultraman eyes can be seen, with the English letters shown "What's next...?".

Background wise, according to one of Ultraman Orb's writers, Takao Nakano, Orb (and by extension his human form, Gai Kurenai) had his conception based on Ultraseven, whom, like Orb, uses human disguises and started their lives as wanderers on Earth sometime before the setting of their series. Aside from that, other motives and elements include Japanese novel Lone Samurai Monjiro, American actor Clint Eastwood (whose known for his role as wanderers) and singer Tsunehiko Kamijō's image song, Dareka ga Kaze no Naka de. All this is done under the purpose to "re-invoke the wanderer hero in the 21st century world".

Ultraman Orb
Ultraman Orb was a mysterious warrior that came from the outer galaxy and landed on Earth, taking the form of Gai Kurenai. While wandering around the Earth, he came across a woman who he befriended with. During Maga-Zetton's awakening and rampage, Orb battled against the monster while his friend watched him from afar but when the Ultra was hit by its attack, the blast's explosion injured the woman as well. Seeing his dear friend injured, Orb decided to let out all of his anger, drew his Orb Calibur and launched a full attack but as a result, the sword broke apart and the impact caused the whole forest to be engulfed with a huge explosion. Resuming his human form, Gai picked Ultraman's card only he cries out, knowing that the possibility of said woman's survival is impossible, considering the damage that he made. Having lost his original form, Gai was forced to rely upon the use of Ultraman and Ultraman Tiga's cards that allowed him to assume the form of Spacium Zeperion.

108 years later in the present day, he finds Jugglus Juggler, his old enemy and fought against King Demon Beasts, a group of ancient monsters that were sealed by the past Ultra Warriors. During his mission, he comes across the SSP and VTL Squad leader Ittettsu Shibukawa, saving them on numerous occasions and receive new Ultra Fusion Cards in every King Demon Beasts he eliminated but unknowingly assisted Jugglus, whose original motif is to collect their cards.

Transformation
Gai first scans a pair of Ultra Fusion Cards in the Orb Ring, creating a projection of its two corresponding Ultra Warriors. Afterwards, he raises the Orb Ring up which causes his body to transform into Ultraman Orb with his entire body being covered in a luminous silhouette while the Ultraman projections shine and combine with Orb to create their corresponding form. During the rising transformation scene, Orb delivers a specific pre-battle catchphrase just before descending into the fight.

Forms
{{#tag:tabber| Fusion Up= {{#tag:tabber| In-Series= After Ultraman Orb loses his original powers (and by extent, his Orb Origin form), he currently relies upon the use of Ultra Fusion Cards that he acquires where he combines the power of past two Ultra Warriors. Each combination results in different forms, but while assuming them Orb still has traces left from Orb Origin, such as his Ultra Armor (chest), red vector-shaped linings on his legs and a black-colored neck. {{#tag:tabber| Spacium Zeperion= Spacium Zeperion {{Quote|Fusion Up!

Combinations
The combination of Ultra Warriors Orb uses in his Fusion Up forms seem to share something in common.


 * Ultraman + Ultraman Tiga = Spacium Zeperion: They both serve as representatives of their eras (Showa for the former and Heisei for the latter) in most Ultraman stage shows, press conferences, and promotions. Ultraman and Tiga's fighting skills are also notably well balanced. In real life, Orb's series is a milestone celebration of the 50th and 20th anniversaries of Ultraman and Ultraman Tiga respectively.
 * Ultraman Taro + Ultraman Mebius = Burnmite: They are both members of the Ultra Brothers, with the latter as a student to the former. Taro and Mebius were also notably both rookies of the Space Garrison during their first arrival on Earth, where they received character development as their series progressed. Additionally, both of them fused with the other Ultra Brothers during their respective movies in order to defeat an enemy that was too powerful for them to defeat individually.
 * Taro: Super Ultraman Taro vs. Grand King in Ultraman Story.
 * Mebius: Ultraman Mebius Infinity vs. U-Killersaurus in Ultraman Mebius & the Ultra Brothers.
 * Ultraman Jack + Ultraman Zero = Hurricane Slash: They are both related in some manner to Ultraseven (the former is his brother-in-arms, while the latter is his son), whom they received their respective Ultra Bracelets from. Jack and Zero have also each fought against an Alien Bat who revived and enhanced a past monster under their control.
 * Jack: Zetton II in the series finale of The Return of Ultraman.
 * Zero: EX Red King in the Ultra Zero Fight mini-series.
 * Zoffy + Ultraman Belial = Thunder Breastar: This combination is ironic, as it not only represents good and evil but Zoffy notably has an incorruptible will and more self-control compared to Belial. However, they are both known for being members of the Space Garrison in their past, and have even fought alongside Ken and Marie. They are also one of the strongest Ultra Warriors to date (Zoffy for his M87 Ray and Belial for his strength), as well as leaders of a group consisted of six (the former leads the Ultra Brothers, while the latter leads the Darkness Five). Predating Belial from his debut in the 2009 movie, Zoffy had twice been turned evil within game publications for the Ultra Series.
 * Gaia Saver (1994): After being brainwashed into becoming Ultra Killer.
 * Ultraman Fighting Evolution 0 (2006): After being possessed by Yapool.
 * Ultraman Gaia + Ultraman Victory = Photon Victorium: They are both Earth-born Ultra Warriors with their powers being drawn from Earth-like energies (Gaia Energy and Victorium respectively). Gaia and Victory also both received their upgrades from blue-colored Ultra Warriors, with said upgrades being indirectly considered combinations.
 * Gaia: Ultraman Gaia Version 2 via Ultraman Agul's human host, Hiroya Fujimiya, giving him his light.
 * Victory: Ultraman Victory Knight via Ultraman Hikari creating the Knight Timbre for him to utilize.
 * Ultraman Tiga + Ultraman Max = Sky Dash Max: They are both connected to ancient human civilizations (the former is part of the Ancient Giants of Light, while the latter had banished Alien Tarla's brethren away from Earth). Their fighting styles are also primarily based on speed, strength, and aerial combat. During the final episodes of their respective series, they were petrified after losing to gigantic opponents before they were revived and able to fight on the same level as their opponents. Interestingly, their human hosts married the female protagonist of their series in later life.
 * Ultraman Cosmos + Ultraman X = Full Moon Xanadium: They both have human hosts (Musashi Haruno and Daichi Ozora respectively) who are known for being pacifists, with their true power lying in how they cease conflicts without needing to kill the monsters. Interestingly enough, in episode 14 of Ultraman X, Cosmos is one of the inspirations for Daichi to realize his dream of befriending monsters, as both Ultra Warriors have fought against brainwashed monsters during their series' course.
 * Ultraman Ginga + Ultraman X = Lightning Attacker: They are production-wise the first to appear in their respective universes until later media revealed that there are actually other Ultra Warriors that preceded them (Ultraman Victory and Ultraman Tiga respectively) by ancient times. Coincidentally, both of their predecessors are also Earth-born Ultras as well as the two original narrators of Shin Ultraman Retsuden. In real life, their voice actors are known for being close friends, so much so that their friendship is joked about by their fellow co-workers.
 * Ultraman Leo + Ultraman Zero = Leo Zero Knuckle: Both were known for being hot blooded and short tempered individuals who originally only wanted to become stronger for their own respective motives until the experiences they received in their lives gave them character development, allowing them to mature. In real life, their designs are based on Ultraseven archetypes. They are also Judo practitioners, with the latter learning from the former, and were even instructors at one point in their lives where they provided their students with harsh and handicapped training.
 * Leo: Trained Zero by having him imprisoned in a Techtor Gear armor.
 * Zero: Trained Ginga and Victory's human hosts, Hikaru Raido and Shou respectively, by having them handcuffed to each others' arms.
 * Ultraman Tiga + Ultraman Dyna = Zeperion Solgent: They originate from the same universe and were the first two Ultra Warriors to demonstrate the ability to change both color and combat performances. Dyna is in fact Tiga's spiritual successor, which is heavily acknowledged both in-series and by the fans. In their respective series, their powers were also exploited by individuals who hope to reanimate an Ultra Warrior for their own evil purposes. In real life, the actors of their human hosts (Daigo Madoka and Shin Asuka respectively) are fans of Ultraman 80.
 * Ultraman Dyna + Ultraman Belial = Thunder Miracle: Both have black hole-based attacks (Revolium Wave and Belial Black Hole Thunder respectively) and are related to Ultraman Zero in several ways (the former is his close friend, while the latter is his archenemy), as well as their voice actors being close friends with him. Both have also united with said Ultra Warrior, simultaneously giving him access to several powers.
 * Dyna: Fused with Zero alongside Cosmos to become Ultraman Saga, which in turn provided him with access to his StrongCorona and LunaMiracle mode changes as a side effect.
 * Belial: Possessed Zero to assassinate the Ultimate Force Zero, but at the same time gave him access to Shining Zero which helped to expel Belial and undo the damages caused by him.
 * Ultraseven + Ultraman Ace = Slugger Ace: Both are members of the Ultra Brothers who were infamously known for attacks that dismember their opponents (Ultra Knock Tactic and Ultra Guillotine respectively). They are also the first two forward crest Ultra Warriors in the franchise's history and their finishing attacks are performed as L-style beams.

Trivia

 * Orb is the third Ultra whose Color Timer is modeled after an English letter. The first was Victory whose timer is in the shape of a V and the second was X whose timer is in the shape of a X.
 * Orb is the third Ultra whose eyes are colored sky blue. The first was Powered and the second was Evil Tiga.
 * Orb is the seventh good Ultra to feature black markings in his body, primarily in his default form. The first was Tiga in Tiga Dark, the second was Agul, the third was Gaia in both Version 2 and Supreme Version, the fourth was Justice, the fifth was Nexus in Junis Form, and the sixth was Victory.
 * So far, 5 Ultra Warriors (Tiga, Dyna, Zero, Belial, and X) have been used in more than one combination of Orb's Fusion Up forms.
 * Of these Ultra Warriors, Tiga has the most combinations with 3 while the others have 2 each.
 * One of the game-exclusive Fusion Up forms, Lightning Attacker, is rather interesting as technologies (X) are known for their constant evolution as time passes on to the future (Ginga).
 * Hurricane Slash's teleportation ability comes from Ultraman Saga rather than either Jack or Zero, with the latter being one of the main components used to make up this fusion. Orb used this ability to keep up with and counter Hyper Zetton Deathscythe in a similar manner to Saga with the original Imago Hyper Zetton.
