GUTS-Select（ガッツセレクト） (Gattsu Serekuto) is a defense team formed by the TPU to fight against monsters. They appear in Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga and its sequel series Ultraman Decker.

History

Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga

Mitsukuni Shizuma, the founder of the Sizuma Foundation, had found evidence of a dark power that would return and threaten the Earth. He worked to unite the governments of the world and formed the TPU in response to that. GUTS-Select is a team of experts within the TPU's Japan branch and headquarters, specializing in anti-monster operations and Ultra-Ancient Ruins research. Their engineer, Akito Hijiri, invented all their equipment.

Ultraman Decker

After Trigger's time, the Earth started to regain its peace. The TPU had been shrinking monster defense measures, with the team getting dissolved and all the equipment becoming unmanned. However, the TPU was forced to reorganize GUTS-Select when the Spheres attacked the Earth and Mars. Some of the previous members of GUTS-Select that were on Mars at the time had formed an anti-Sphere unit themselves and begun to fight back against the threat to protect the civilians there.
