D4 is a superweapon developed by GAFJ, first appearing in the Ultraman Z episode of the same name, D4. When utilized as a projectile weapon, it was designated as Extradimensional Destruction Weapon D4 Ray (異次元壊滅兵器 D4ディーフォーレイ, Ijigen Kaimetsu Heiki Di Fō Rei).[1]

History

Ultraman Z

Following Baraba's destruction at the hands of Ultraman Z and Ultraman Ace, the Terrible-Monster's sword was left behind. Upon studying the sword, Yuka Ohta excitedly revealed that the sword had the ability to breach the boundaries between dimensions and open pathways to new ones. It can be assumed that the development of D4 began shortly after this. The Last Hero

From said sword, GAF was able to study the energy matter of Yapool's extradimensional portals. After construction of a working D4 device was completed, the weapon was tested in an uninhibited island a significant distance off the coast of Japan, Nakanotorishima. The resulting test was successful, and created a massive crater on the island, prompting GAF to request Kuriyama have the weapon fitted onto King Joe STORAGE Custom's Pedanium Particle Cannon, much to STORAGE's dismay. A second D4 was constructed, this time an energy projectile version referred to as the D4 Ray, and loaded into King Joe's collection of weaponry.

During the fight against the group of Cherubim Jr.s, Kuriyama repeatedly attempted to make Hebikura give the order to fire the D4 Ray, but he refused, and Yoko attempted to fight for as long as possible without having to use it.

Eventually, the weapon was fired, destroying the Cherubim Jr.s, but then triggering a near-collapse of Earth's dimension, causing the entirely vacant city of Tokyo to be consumed by the excess energy as it tore apart the fabric of reality itself. Ultraman Z Delta Rise Claw managed to destroy it with a full power Zestium Beam, ending the collapse before it could destroy the entire universe, but a large area of the city was left devastated.D4

Trivia

  • The location where the D4 weapon was tested for the first time, Nakanotorishima, is better known as Ganges Island, an example of a phantom island; these are landmasses that never actually existed, illustrated on maps as a result of navigation errors and other factors.
