Conception
Design
From the booklet provided with the Blu-ray release of Ultra Fight Orb, Reibatos was an unused Kaiju suit made under Ichiro Itano (base design) and Yasushi Torisawa, 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 ULTRAMAN2: requiem, with Zett (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 .[2][3]
Etymology
Reibatos's name comes from Reionics and Barbatos, one of the Dukes of Hell that ruled over thirty legions of demons.
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 on 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 Inter Galactic Defense Force 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 Battlenizer 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 Spacium. 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 Battlenizer, 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
In a twisted turn of events, it is revealed that Ultraman Belial himself had killed Reibatos, instead of Ultraman 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
Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy
Absolute Tartarus traveled through time to save Reibatos from his death, taking him into Narak. Reibatos then joined Tartarus' army as part of his Parallel Isotopes.
In the past, Reibatos resurrected Alien Bat after the latter's defeat at the hands of Ultraman Saga. Reibatos traveled to Planet Feed with Absolute Tartarus, where he was commanded by Tartarus to revive a Gymaira to interfere with Neos, Seven 21 and 80's fight against Leugocyte. Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy
Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Destined Crossroad
Reibatos continued to serve as part of Tartarus' army. He was tasked with reviving Gina Spectre at one point after her brothers had perished previously. Later on, he joined Gina, Tartarus and Alien Bat at the Monster Graveyard to collect the Devil Splinter that resided there, but were met with opposition. Reibatos was first confronted with Ultraman Zearth, Ultraman Nice and Ultraman Boy, who did not pose much of a threat at first, but eventually were somewhat formidable. His opposition then shifted to Ultraman X and his old rival Orb, where he was easily beaten down.
In a last ditch effort, Tartarus stole the New Generation Heroes' collected Devil Splinters, giving them to Reibatos to enhance his power, which he used to summon the spirits of Mold and Juda, and reconstruct the Giga Battlenizer once again. After using it to have the spirits be absorbed into Gina's body to form Gua Spectre, Reibatos' body could not contain the power of the Devil Splinters inside him and faded away, with Tartarus mocking him and taking the Giga Battlenizer.
