is the deuteragonist inPersonality[]
Hiroya was first introduced as an intelligent star student from Alchemy Stars. He started out as a cold, arrogant loner who disliked Gamu, his rival, and Gaia's human host.
Hiroya desired to save the world, but due to the manipulations of the Radical Destruction Bringer and the corrupted super computer Crisis, he came to believe that humankind was a threat to the Earth, ultimately turning him against them. Despite this he could not truly let go of his humanity, and when the truth was revealed he ended his crusade against humanity.
Although he no longer desired to destroy humankind, he still holds some contempt for them and how they have treated their world.
After the final fight between Gaia and Agul, he holds a respect for him and decided to fight beside Gaia as Agul.
History[]
Pre-Ultraman Gaia[]
Hiroya Fujimiya was born on October 21, 1979. He was one of the child prodigies born in various parts of the world in the 1980s. In 1995, he enrolled at the University of Göttingen in Germany, where he shocked the world by publishing his doctoral thesis, "Absolute Theory in the Relative World and the Theory of Light Quantum," the following year. This thesis propelled him to become a professor in the Department of Mathematical Philosophy at the University of Göttingen and earned him numerous engineering patents and a doctorate degree.
After joining Alchemy Stars, Fujimiya and his team began designing a light quantum computer called "Crisis". This supercomputer had the ability to predict disasters that were about to occur on Earth.
Four years ago, Fujimiya completed "Crisis". However, when it was activated, it concluded that "there will soon be a threat that will bring destruction to the Earth and humanity." Fujimiya and his team attempted to identify the cause of this conclusion but could not determine why Earth and humanity faced destruction.
However, one day, Fujimiya tried to eliminate humanity from the data of Earth's existence and began calculations. As a result, the destruction of Earth was avoided. The reason for Earth's destruction was humanity itself. Fujimiya was puzzled about how to prevent the destruction of Earth and humanity and initiated several other research projects, one of which was controlling monsters to keep them away from densely populated areas, and another was searching for the "will of the Earth" to design a solution to global issues.
As Fujimiya pursued these efforts, the word "AGUL" suddenly appeared on the terminal screen. Then the screen emitted a light, and Fujimiya saw the figure of a blue giant standing in a mysterious place.
After experiencing this event, Fujimiya began seeking answers. Following his departure from Alchemy Stars with another researcher, Kyoko Inamori, the two went to a rented research facility called "Pronon Calamos" to conduct research to confirm the "true will of the Earth." Fujimiya believed that the Earth possesses a "natural healing power" that activates when living organisms become sick, and if the Earth were truly destroyed, this power would also come into play. Fujimiya realized that "if humanity's crisis is its destiny, then the only way out for humanity is to follow the will of the Earth. The power of Agul will guide us there." He believed that if rebirth was to occur, it would be better to eliminate any hindrances. He also considered it selfish for humans to seek help only when they are in danger.
Interpreting Agul's power in this way, Fujimiya began seeking power. One day, a bright light appeared in the observation pool of Pronon Calamos. Despite Inamori's attempts to stop him, Fujimiya seemed to vanish from in front of Inamori after being exposed to the light. This light also bestowed upon him the power of Ultraman Agul.The Birth of Agul
Ultraman Gaia[]
Finding Agul's light[]
- Main article: Ultraman Agul
As the blue Ultra, he attacks monsters but pays no heed to possible human casualties, in one instance Agul transformed Gaia into anti-matter to fight a monster in a special zone and almost refused to convert him back, possibly leaving him stranded in space. The Challenge from the Anti-Space
Soon after his first battle, he learns that Gamu Takayama is Ultraman Gaia and Gamu learns of his identity. Their conflicting beliefs and ideal cause them to clash, once when Agul tried to destroy the aerial base of XIG, and finally when Gamu challenged him to a battle near a coast. Both fights released energy that caused a wormhole, the source of most of the monster and alien attacks, to summon forth a large monster.
Gamu later reveals to Hiroya that Crisis was infected by the being that sends the monsters through the wormhole and that its predictions were all lies. Knowing that Hiroya would potentially become Agul, it worked to subvert the guardian of the Earth into its unknowing pawn. Upon hearing this and seeing the evidence Hiroya suffered an emotional collapse and gave Gamu his Light of the Sea, upgrading Gaia to Version 2 and giving him Supreme Version. After that, he disappeared for some time.
"After I'll get the power back, I was thinking about why there is two Ultraman. Now I realize, if one down, there's still have another one."
- ―Fujimiya to Gamu before the final battle, "An Angel Descends"
Later he reappears when Gamu is captured by a robot sent through the wormhole. Pleading to the will of the Earth for the strength to fight for his friend, Hiroya is enveloped by a light from the sea as time seemingly stops and he emerges as Agul Version 2. Saving Gamu, he fights with him to protect the Earth until the entity known as the Root of Destruction attacks the Earth directly. Though they were both temporarily defeated, the two restored their powers and defeated the cosmic monster saving their world.
Ultraman Orb THE ORIGIN SAGA[]
"Daring to fight with a big creature, is really such a chaotic way to fight with it."
- ―Hiroya Fujimiya to Jugglus Juggler
Fujimiya returns in this series, along with Gamu, Asuka, and Musashi. He first appears to save Jugglus Juggler by defeated Bezelb. He admits to Juggler that he reminded him of his past self. Fujimiya later reunited with Gamu and together with Gai Kurenai to fight Alien Wraith Psychi army. The trio later being defeated before Asuka and Musashi join the final battle. After the final battle, he, Gamu, Musashi, and Asuka encourage Gai Kurenai to never give up and return to their world.
Counterparts[]
Great Decisive Battle! The Super 8 Ultra Brothers[]
Fujimiya plays a very minor role in this alternate reality movie. Fujimiya is seen next to Gamu giving a speech for new technology Gamu had developed. Fujimiya also speaks to Gamu near the end of the film when Gamu is about to depart to the Land of Light with Daigo Madoka (Ultraman Tiga) and Shin Asuka (Ultraman Dyna).
Transformation[]
Agulater: Fujimiya built this device to use the Agul force. To transform, he would stretch his right arm downwards and the Agulater opens. He then brings his arm up and the Agulater flips and transforms him into Agul via a bright stream of azure light.
Powers and Weapons[]
- Intelligence: Hiroya is one of the first members of the Alchemy Stars, a group of young geniuses who created all the technology used by XIG. Fujimiya himself also created systems, to control monsters in order to lure them away from cities, and the computer Crisis before it was infected by Zogu's villainy.
- Agulater: Using a device of his own creation Fujimiya can summon the Agul force to transform into Ultraman Agul.
- Agul Force: Fujimiya used the power from his Agulater to give it to Gamu by transferring it to Esplender. Only shown in episode 26.
- Ultra Powers: Unlike Gamu, who never demonstrated the ability, Fujimiya could manifest the powers of Agul in human form. Usually, this meant powering something with a beam from the Agulater, or superhuman abilities such as speed and strength, such as when he took out the guards of Geo Base.
