History[]
Ultraman Dyna[]
Emerging from a mysterious area during a thunderstorm, Giakuuda made its way toward a solar-powered electricity plant. Super GUTS arrived in the GUTS Eagle to intercept the creature, but their attacks proved ineffective as Giakuuda used its EMP Bolts to disable one of their fighters. Shin Asuka ejected from the GUTS Eagle as it reassembled, and transformed into Ultraman Dyna to confront the monster.
Initially, the battle was evenly matched, even with Dyna switching to Strong Type. However, Giakuuda's electrical attacks began to take a toll on Dyna. Despite this, Dyna managed to throw Giakuuda into the air, allowing the GUTS Eagle to destroy the monster. Unbeknownst to them, the remaining pieces of Giakuuda would regenerate into smaller versions upon contact with water. These smaller Giakuudas began siphoning electricity, causing power outages across the city. Even when destroyed, they continuously regenerated.
Super GUTS decided that the only way to end Giakuuda was to lure the smaller versions into recombining and then incinerate them. With permission from the power plant, they redirected all remaining electricity into a Trap Field to attract the Giakuudas. However, a lightning storm struck, deactivating the Trap Field. As the Giakuudas began to disperse, a platoon of tanks was deployed to contain them.
Asuka transformed into Dyna again and switched to Miracle Type. Using his Miracle Thunder Charge, he reactivated the Trap Field, causing the Giakuudas to gather and reform into their large form. The battle resumed, with Giakuuda launching EMP Bolts at Dyna. Dyna countered with the Revolium Wave Reverse Type, reflecting the attack back at Giakuuda. He then hurled Giakuuda into space and into a miniature black hole.
Dyna fired his Shining Judge, destroying Giakuuda into numerous pieces. This time, the fragments were pulled into the black hole, ensuring they could never regenerate again.
Trivia[]
- Giakuuda's appearance in Ultraman Dyna was referenced by Hikaru Raido and Ultraman Taro in New Ultraman Retsuden episode 18 to compare Ultraman Ginga's Ginga Thunderbolt with Ultraman Dyna's Miracle Thunder Charge.
