Gregore

Gregore (グレゴール人 Guregōru Jin lit. Gregore Man) is a polymorphic alien and member of a family of extra-terrestrial fighters who traveled the universe seeking opponents to challenge to a battle. Gregore arrived on Earth with the intention of challenging, then defeating Ultraman Dyna. Copying Dyna's form to even the odds, Gregore and Dyna faced off, with the alien losing the duel that followed. Accepting Dyna as the stronger fighter, he then departed graciously in search of other opponents to battle.

History

Ultraman Dyna

Gregore was an alien from the Hercules M16 Nebula who was part of a family of fighters. Known to teleport all around the known universe seeking powerful entities to defeat. Eventually, he wandered to Earth; seeking to challenge Dyna. He released a Mons-Ahgar and defeated it before Asuka to prove his strength. Eventually, a deal was struck between the two; using honor and fame as prizes, for a fight to the death. Although faster and more powerful, Imit-Ultraman Dyna was finally defeated after getting in a fist-punch-duel with Dyna in Strong Type and getting his face smashed in half with the Cross Counter Punch. After the duel, Gregore admitted defeat graciously, and, acknowledging Dyna's strength, departed Earth and returned to space.

Trivia

Actor: Hiroshi Miyasaka (Human form and speaking voice), Takeshi Tsuruno (Grunts as Imit-Ultraman Dyna, stock grunts)
- Hiroshi Miyazaki would, later on, portray Ginga Yumeboshi in Ultraman Nice. Ginga himself is the human host of Ultraman Nice, who is ironically a genuine Ultra Warrior.
Suit actor: Kazuya Shimizu
- Imit-Ultraman Dyna's suit was newly built but was soon modified into the real Ultraman Dyna's second Miracle Type suit due to his suit actor's wish. This is, in fact, an aversion of usual imitation Ultraman suits from various Ultraman Series, which usually had the original spare suit being modified into the impostor. Though Gregore's Imitation Ultraman Dyna disguise bears an extremely close resemblance to the real Dyna, it can be distinguished from him by the shadows around its eyes, though these are less prominent in Miracle Type.
Unlike the real Dyna, Gregore utters a grunt as he transforms into Imit-Ultraman Dyna.
Imit-Ultraman Dyna is known to laugh at and insult his opponents.
In contrast to previous aliens who used Imitation Ultra disguises, Gregore is an anti-hero, rather than an outright antagonist. He only wanted to fight Ultraman Dyna for the thrill of a battle. However, he was willing to fight civilians away if they interfered with him.
Imit-Ultraman Dyna is the only Intimation Ultra to have a transformation.
- Gregore's transformation pose when turning into Imit-Ultraman Dyna is reminiscent of the way Hideki Go transforms into Ultraman Jack, by raising his hand in the air.
Even in the form of Miracle Type, all of Imit-Ultraman Dyna's attacks were based on Flash Type.
He, along with Mons-Ahger II, was referenced by the Spark Dolls Troupe in New Ultraman Retsuden episode 37.

Imit-Ultraman Dyna (ニセウルトラマンダイナ Nise Urutoraman Daina), or False Ultraman Dyna, is the form Gregore took to impersonate and defeat Mons-Ahger II as Flash Type. While fighting the real Dyna, Gregorl Man sticks to having his Imit-Ultraman Dyna disguise use Miracle Type, which be differentiated from the real Dyna's Miracle Type by the slight shading around its eyes, pointed feet, and additional black and gold accents on its body, all of which are absent from its true counterpart's appearance.
