GUYS Ultraman Mebius.[1]
: The abbreviated name for Guards for UtilitY Situation. CREW GUYS are the monster defense team (operational unit) ofOverview
They have the most advanced technology of any of the past Earth defense teams in the World of the Land of Light.
The team also have archives containing information of monsters/aliens that had appeared in past series. The name of the document is the same as the defense team of the series in which the monster had appeared. These are: Document SSSP (which refers to monsters and aliens that appeared in Ultraman, Document TDF-UG (Ultraseven), Document MAT (Return of Ultraman), Document TAC (Ultraman Ace), Document ZAT (Ultraman Taro), Document MAC (Ultraman Leo), and Document UGM (Ultraman 80), respectively. There is also a category known simply as "Out of Document" , which contains information on monsters and aliens that appeared when no defense team was present (such as the time before the founding of the Science Patrol and the period between the annihilation of MAC and the founding of the UGM).
Additionally, "Document Forbidden"
— which contains details about incidents that happened as a result of human negligence and the monsters and aliens that appeared as a result of these incidents — appears in the novel adaptation of Anderes Horizont. These are records that are frequently referred to as being on the dark side, such as "Humanity has not always walked the right path" and "They are not intentionally hidden and may cause sensitive reactions depending on the recipient." It is the most sensitive archive document for GUYS and all of humanity as a result, and each applicable document has strict access restrictions that allow viewing only to those with the rank of captain or above. It is an extremely confidential matter.When aliens and monsters (including Ultraman) appear, they are called "Registry (Registration) Codes"
. Additionally, the registered name serves as the registration code in the case of monsters and aliens listed in archive documents.Their special weapons are an advanced fighter jet that can fly at supersonic speeds, helicopters that can fly at slow speeds, advanced cars, trucks and tanks driving on the ground, Advanced Naval vessel right trough the seas, and the capsule monsters. The Maquette Monsters are at first small capsule-like items that grow to their full size by using METEOR. METEOR's power can only be used for one minute at a time.
In the case of a sortie, Sakomizu says "GUYS, Sally Go!" [2]
(When he is absent, Toriyama or Misaki, or Ryu in Ultraman Mebius Side Story: Armored Darkness, says it), and "G.I.G.!" (GUYS Is Green) is said in the case of "Roger!".History
Ultraman Mebius
During the 25 years after the dissolution of UGM, based on the reports of Shingo Sakomizu's experiences in Pluto's orbit, Sakomizu advocated to high-level officials of various countries that Earth still needed a defense organization to counter the threats posed by monsters and aliens. Subsequently, over a period of 10 years, governments and defense forces of different nations collaborated in the form of cooperation to establish GUYS.
The general headquarters is located in the office of New York and CREW GUYS is deployed in the headquarters of each country. There is also GUYS OCEAN Ultraman Mebius: Anderes Horizont, the existence of GUYS USA and GUYS CHINA was also confirmed.
which defends the high seas, GUYS SPACY which defends the space area, and GUYS ANTARCTICA which defends the Antarctic Circle. In the novelIn Japan, anyone who is at least 16 years old can participate in the GUYS license exam. However, due to the absence of monsters in the past 25 years, people generally consider it as "one of the useful qualifications for exams and employment."
However, the original members of GUYS Japan, led by Captain Serizawa, suffered heavy losses during the battle against Dinozole, with only Ryu surviving. Subsequently, Sakomizu reorganized the team and assumed the role of the new team leader. He also recruited Mirai and four other new members who were recruited from the civilian population.

After Mirai left the Earth, Sakomizu resumed his position as the Inspector General, and the other members resumed their original roles. GUYS Japan underwent another reorganization and selected new members.

Trivia
- This team was the second team to have a mascot (Lim Eleking). The first one was Super GUTS with Hanejiro as their mascot.
- In the initial planning and setting, the team name was "BOZ."
- Regarding the characterization of the GUYS team members, main director Tomoki Sano explained that after deciding to select members from ordinary people, he wanted each team member to have an original occupation unrelated to GUYS. While Ultraman Mebius focuses on "friendship" as a primary theme, the production team also embraced "dreams" as another core concept. Each team member has their own dreams and has worked hard toward them, but joining GUYS temporarily redirected their paths. However, they have never truly abandoned those dreams.[4]
- These young characters are mostly in their early 20s, and though "dreams" might still be somewhat immature pursuits, Sano wanted to portray their passion for their dreams with sincerity and directness, even if such earnestness might appear “naive.” From the outset, it was planned that once peace returned, each member would go back to their original lives. The characters’ professions were intentionally chosen to reflect jobs that children might aspire to.
- Additionally, the idea of each team member possessing heightened senses was a creative suggestion by screenwriter Masanao Akahoshi.
