History
Ultra Fight Orb
As a descendant of the Reionics, Reibatos revived monsters at his disposal, first reviving Demaaga on Earth and Juda Spectre and Mecha Gomora in Planet Yomi for Orb and Zero to deal with. After both Ultras assemble in said planet, he made himself known and revived Vict Lugiel, King Joe, Birdon, Gudon, Twin Tail, and Hyper Zetton as distractions before leaving.
Orb pursued him after leaving his monsters to Zero and the Space Garrison members but lost track of him when he quickly regenerated. Simply leaving a clue to Orb, Reibatos arrived on the Monster Graveyard to fix the Giga Battle Nizer and sent Tyrant to deal with Zoffy and Ultraman Jack. While trying to revive the deceased monsters, Orb and Zero pursued him in his dimension after dealing with his Tyrant. Knowing that he is able to regenerate instantly, Orb launches an all-out attack before finishing him with Emerium Slugger Specium. He was presumed by the Ultras to have died but regenerates in a battered form.
"I won't forgive you for this Ultra Warriors! Ujuika Reegamiyo! I'll destroy everything... Awaken, the original owner of Giga Battle Nizer, Ultraman Belial! W-Why? Could it be, Belial is still alive? T-This aura... you're..."
- ―Reibatos' death.
Not content on giving up, Reibatos tried to use the last of his energy to revive Ultraman Belial but discovers that Belial was somehow alive. It was then where Belial's son Ultraman Geed seemingly appeared (to which Reibatos sensed "something off") and killed Reibatos in an instant. Ultra Fight Orb
Ultraman Geed
Belial kills Reibatos
In a twisted turn of events, it is revealed that Belial himself had killed Reibatos, instead of Geed. Reibatos had simply "seen into the future" and hallucinated that Geed was in Belial's place at that moment as a result. The Symbol of Geed

- Flight: Reibatos can flight in moderate speed.
- Reibatos Shoot (レイバトスシュート Reibatosu Shūto): Reibatos can shoot a purple energy bullet. They are strong enough to revert Orb Trinity to Orb Origin, with just two shots. In an original clip of Ultraman Orb: The Chronicle, Reibatos was also shown firing a more condensed, yellowish energy ball version of this attack towards Orb Emerium Slugger.
- Barrier: Prior to firing, the energy of the Reibatos Shoot can be used to conjure a purple barrier, which can deflect attacks such as the Sperion Ray.

- Revival/Restoration: By chanting Ujuika Reegamiyo (ウジュイカレエガミヨ), Reibatos had the ability to revive a monster. This ability has no effect on the living. It can also be used to restore the Giga Battle Nizer from the Monster Graveyard somehow.

- Empowerment: According to Reibatos, the Giga Battle Nizer can empower his usual abilities. This was shown he was able to revive an entire army of monsters in the Monster Graveyard, whereas his limit was at least six monsters at a time.

Trivia
- From the booklet provided with the Blu-Ray release of Ultra Fight Orb, Reibatos was an unused Kaiju suit made under Ichiro Itano and Yasushi Torisawa and is depicted as "a humanoid enemy with the ability to resurrect the dead".[1] According to a certain source, the cancelled show which was meant to be Reibatos' original debut was the successor for the 2004 Ultra N Project film ULTRAMAN called ULTRAMAN 2: Requiem, with Z (the antagonist from the second stage show of Ultraman Festival) was believed to be based on the same archetype. True to the sequel's title, Reibatos' character name for the film, should it have been made, was to be Requiem (レクイエム Rekuiemu).[2][3]
- His revival spell, Ujuika Reegamiyo (ウジュイカレエガミヨ) is Yomigaere Kaijuu (ヨミガエレカイジュウ), meaning "Revive Monsters" (蘇れ怪獣 Yomigaere Kaijū), spoken phonically backwards. This chant was created by Junichiro Ashiki, one of the screenplay writers of the series.
- His voice actor, Hidenari Ugaki previously voiced Mold Spectre in Ultraman X. In fact:
- Their debut shows are directed by Koichi Sakamoto.
- The first thing that Reibatos revived on-screen is Juda Spectre, Mold's younger brother.
- Their final plan in the series is to rise an army of monsters. (Mold Spectre's Spark Doll army, Reibatos' 100 Monster Graveyard residents)
- Both are related as ghosts. (Mold is revived from his defeat and Reibatos is an embodiment of ghosts)
- Reibatos' name comes from Reionics and Barbatos, one of the Dukes of Hell that ruled over thirty legions of demons.
