Synopsis[]

Ultraman Belial returns with another scheme to bring Ultraman Geed to his side.

Plot[]

A monster horde emerges near the Pacific Ocean and begins advancing towards Tokyo Dome City. RE.M. notifies Riku of the situation and the latter soon arrives at the location. Riku transforms into Ultraman Geed Primitive to fight off the monsters, but they soon gain the upper hand and beat the Ultra down. The audience at the Dome are able to grant Geed more energy, allowing him to use Geed Multi Layer and summon his other four forms. After a short battle, the Ultras use their respective finishers and destroy the monsters. Suddenly, Belial appear and destroy RE.M. with his Deathcium Beam. The evil Ultra then reveals that he stole energy from Ultraman King in the afterlife, allowing him to be revived. In a fit of rage, Riku attacks his father and a duel ensues.

Ultraman Zero arrives at the scene and joins Geed to fight Belial. Just as Belial was on the losing end, a group of evil Geeds appears, consisting of Solid Burning, Acro Smasher, and Magnificent. Belial introduces the group as Geed's Brothers and the trio begins fighting Zero and Geed as Belial stands aside to admire his creations. Once the evil Acro Smasher and Solid Burning were able to strangle Geed, Belial used his Belial Virus to corrupt Riku's mind, causing Geed to become evil. Zero then turns into Zero Beyond to confront Riku and free his mind, but the corrupted Ultra ignores Zero's pleas and defeat's him with the Wrecking Burst. Belial then congratulates his son and sways him more towards his darkness. Belial then steal's his son's energy and transforms into Atrocious once more.

Don Shine miraculously appears before Riku and encourages him to fight the evil and choose his own path. However, just as Riku was freed from his father's influence, Belial appears once again and summons a group of monsters from his Giga Battlenizer to defeat Don Shine. Within the darkness, the Ultra Hosts of the New Generation Heroes appear and each reminds Riku of the importance of being an Ultra. Through their encouragement, Riku and the other heroes transform into their respective Ultras and begin battling Belial and his monsters.

After finishing off Atrocious and the monsters, Belial uses his last resort. He transforms into Arch Belial Blue and summons a King Galactron to his aid. Geed Royal Megamaster is no match for the duo and is soon beat down, but the audience is able to call forth the New Generation Heroes once again and the group of heroes defeat the monsters. Ultraman King is brought back after Belial's death and he quickly rebuilds RE.M. The Ultras thank each other and the audience and part ways.

Trivia[]

This stage show features the sole appearances of Geed's Brothers and Belial's Arch Belial Blue form.
Pega is the daily guest featured in the DVD.^[1]
Unlike in Ultraman Geed, Mamoru Miyano does not dub Leito when he is possessed by Zero, and Yuta Ozawa does an impression of Zero's voice live.
Ultraman Gingavictory inexplicably appears separately to Ultraman Ginga and Ultraman Victory during the show.
In the final battle, Ultraman Geed and Ultraman Belial repeat their final lines from the last episode of Ultraman Geed.
