Ultraman Ginga S
He first appeared to serve with Android Zero One after her recent failures against Ultraman Victory. Together, they led an army of Inpelaizers to attack the city and Ultraman Ginga before they were found by Shou and were forced to retreat. After they escaped, the two of them had an argument that led into a fight. Even though One Zero's martial arts skills gained her the upper hand at first, Guts Bolst won by creating an illusion of himself and stunned her with his Paralysis Ray. He then left to resume command of the Inpelaizer army.

After Shou/Ultraman Victory managed to defeat several Inpelaizers that were "MonsLived" by Chiburoids, Guts took a Chibu Spark and MonsLived into King Joe Custom. Though the robot was able to pummel Victory, Ultraman Ginga managed to saved him and changed into Ginga Strium to defeat the Inpelaizer armies alongside with King Joe Custom.

He would later used several Spark Dolls in the series but unlike One Zero, he was able to regain them before Hikaru or Shou would collect. As the series entered its second season, Vorst was promoted into Exceller's second-in-command after One Zero became a deserter. Among the Spark Dolls he used were:


 * Gan Q & Fire Golza: Vorst was sent to MonsLive into Gan Q and split into two to steal Shepardon's energies. The UPG team witnessed this and began an operation to save the monster by using a magnetic wave. Shou arrived at the scene and fired at one of the two Gan Q to save Shepardon. Shepardon regained his strength and pushed Gan Q, knocking him down and stomped on the monster rapidly but Vorst quickly turn the tables by swapping Gan Q with Fire Golza and the Vorst clone/Gan Q clone continued to absorb Shepardon. The Live Base staffs completed their objective, managing the UPG Captain to fire a magnetic wave blast via the Base's parabolic antenna. Gan Q was knocked down from the blast but it took Fire Golza's attention as he began to attack the base. Shou quickly recover and transform into Ultraman Victory to save them and Hikaru into Ginga to save his leader. Victory and Ginga found themselves occupied while trying to save Shepardon until Victory used King Joe Custom's Pedanium Launcher and fired all of Gan Q's clones. The real Gan Q was destroyed by UPG Captain Yoshiaki Jinno whom used the Magnetic Wave laser that attached to the base's parabolic antenna and Victory's Victorium Shoot. Ginga morphed into Strium Mode and finished Fire Golza with Zoffy's M87 Ray. All three reverted into Spark Dolls, but they were retrieved by Exceller via teleportation. Nonetheless, Vorst's deed was done though his doll was thrown out as Exceller's sign of disrespect towards the latter.


 * Bemstar & Bemular: After having the Chiburoids attacking Hikaru, Shou, One Zero and Misuzu, Vorst Lived himself into Bemstar and helped Exceller with stealing a Victorium Stone. Shou transfromed into Victory to stop him and they both put up a great fight even with all of the building distractions. The tides turned however when he Lived Bemular to assist Bemstar in fighting Victory. Even after Ginga appeared to help the latter, Bolst confused them with his teleportation and duplication skills and had them on the ropes. Eventually he and the two monsters were defeated when the two Ultras tricked them, killed Bemular with Ginga Strium's Specium Ray and sent Bemstar flying with Victory's EX Red King Knuckle.


 * Verokron & Doragory: Still frustrated over his loss, Vorst saw the Spark Dolls of both Doragory and Verokron. After taking them, with Exceller's permission, Guts went to Earth, duplicated himself, and MonsLived into the two Super Beasts. Victory came and put up a good fight with them until Doragory bit into him, causing him to bleed. Satsfied with this result, the two monsters teleported away. After reporting this to Exceller in his spaceship, Vorst went back to Earth, "MonsLived" into Doragory and Verokron again, and began to rampage through the city. With Shou out of commission, Hikaru Raido transformed into Ultraman Ginga to stop them. Even after the latter transformed into Ginga Strium, Vorst and his clone had Ginga on the ropes. Despite his injury from earlier, Shou retransformed into Victory to help Ginga. Verokron then fired his missiles at him but Shepardon appeared at the last minute, protected him, and sent him flying with his Victorium Beam. Verokron then duplicated himself and fired his missiles at the defenseless kaiju, the latter then transforming into a Spark Doll. Both Verokron and Doragory were defeated when Ginga fired his Ginga Spark Lance at them and then Victory slashed them with his new Shepardon Saber. Guts became very upset about this and vowed revenge as he was beamed back to Exceller's ship.


 * Zoa Muruchi: Alien Guts Vorst reappeared in episode 12, where he went down to Earth to take Chigusa Kuno hostage. He warned UPG that the want her alive, they would have put down their weapons. They did, but before he could get away, Alien Metron Jace threw a tambourine at him. Vorst fired, but Jace dodged, then he revealed himself and launched a couple of lighters at his eyes, blinding him for the moment. Despite not wanting to, Exceller beamed him back up to his ship. After an argument with Exceller, Vorst went back down to Earth and appeared before Hikaru and Chigusa while they were talking. He ensnared Hikaru with energy beams and kicked him aside while he was taking Chigusa hostage again. After he was confronted by Metron Jace, he MonsLived into Zoa Muruchi and faced the now giant Jace. Even with Victory and Ginga appearing to assist him, they were no match for him, as he only shrugged them off to put the hurt on Metron. Metron started dancing due to Chigusa encouraging him with her singing. Vorst became distracted by Jace's singing and dancing and got Muruchi defeated with a combination of Victorium Shoot and Ultra Shot.


 * Birdon: After observing with Exceller that Dark Lugiel was close to being revived, he was given Birdon's Spark Doll but not without given a warning that this was his last chance to prove himself. He MonsLived into Birdon, went to Earth once again, and challenged the Ultras to another fight. Ultraman Victory appeared later on and accepted Vorst's challenge. They both put up a good fight and even with all of the hurricane winds, pecking, and poisoning, Victory eventually defeats Birdon.

Exceller became frustrated by this and after part of a conversation, fired a pink fireball at Vorst that put him under his control and was sent to Earth Kaiju-sized. He attacked a nearby construction site when Ultraman Ginga, and other UPG members helping him, appeared to fight him. Eventually, Vorst created an illusion of himself, fired red bolts at Ginga, and gained the upper hand until Ginga transformed into Ginga Strium, threw one Guts at the other cancelling out the illusion, and knocked off the badge, regaining consciousness in the process. Vorst wanted to leave for a moment to attack Exceller before resuming their fight but Arisa Sugita fired the new Victorium cannon at him, while Ginga protected himself with Jack's Ultra Barrier, destroying him once and for all.

Shin Ultraman Retsuden
Sometime in-between episode 8 and 9 of Ginga S, Exceller "Lived" Bolst once more when he was making maintenance and adjustments on his Exosuit. He let Bolst man the spaceship's Bridge while he's in the maintenance lab. While there, Bolst saw the 5 Kaiju components of Five King on the strategy table, and wondered why all five were placed there. Exceller then contacted Bolst through a holo-monitor to explain his "Super Fusion" experiments that was based on Tyrant, a monster who was previously "Lived" using "Super Fusion".
