History

Ultraman R/B

When Katsumi Minato and Isami Minato unite their brotherly bonds, they are able to unlock the Kiwami Crystal, allowing them to transform into Ultraman Ruebe. From the golden ring on his chest, Ruebe summons the R/B Kourin to battle.

Powers

The R/B Kourin has several different attack modes, each of them are differentiated by the color of the Kiwami kanji symbol on the Crystal. While yellow by default, it becomes red in Rosso Mode and blue in Blu Mode .

Standard

• Deflection: Using the R/B Kourin, Ruebe can deflect incoming projectile attacks.
• Kourin Protection : The R/B Kourin is capable of absorbing an enemy's energy beam and redirecting it back towards them.
• Barrier: The R/B Kourin is able to project an energy barrier in the shape of a spinning buzzsaw.
• Energy Slash: In Ultraman Fusion Fight!, Ruebe can fire a crescent-shaped energy slash from the R/B Kourin.

Rosso Mode

• Buzzsaw Slash: While the Ruebe Kourin is in Rosso Mode, the blades on it can rotate and act as a buzzsaw cutter.
• Vortex Buster : Exclusive to the DX toy. It is performed by inserting any R/B Crystal on the weapon other than the Kiwami Crystal.
  • Ruebe Vortex Buster : Using the power of the Kiwami Crystal, Ruebe fires a destructive, rainbow-colored, tornado-like beam from the radius of the R/B Kourin.
    • Shin Vortex Buster : A destruction ray 10 times more powerful than the the Ruebe Vortex Buster, fired using the Makoto Crystal (in its closed form) in place of the Kiwami Crystal. It was powerful enough to destroy Reugosite.
    • Groob Vortex Buster

Blu Mode

• Dashing Slash: While the Ruebe Kourin is in Blu Mode, Ruebe can accelerate to high speeds and land multiple slashes on the opponent.
• Kourin Shot : Exclusive to the DX toy. It is performed by inserting any R/B Crystal on the weapon other than the Kiwami Crystal.
  • Ruebe Kourin Shot : Using the power of the Kiwami Crystal, a buzzsaw slashing projectile is shot from the R/B Kourin.
    • Shin Kourin Shot : An even more powerful version of the Ruebe Kourin Shot, using the Makoto Crystal (in its closed form) in place of the Kiwami Crystal. Presumably, like the Shin Vortex Buster, it is 10 times more powerful than the Ruebe Kourin Shot.
    • Groob Kourin Shot : An upgraded version of Ruebe's Ruebe Kourin Shot, using the Makoto Crystal in place of the Kiwami Crystal. Groob fires three cutting halos from the R/B Kourin.
