History[]

Ultraman Gaia[]

Battle Against Radical Destruction Bringer Part 1[]

"Ultraman! The Earth is in danger! I need to be like you! I need your power! Please, give it to me!"

―Gamu Takayama to Ultraman Gaia, Seize the Light!
Gaia vs Dragon

Gaia's first appearance in the show.

During one of the virtual reality experiments, performed with the secret purpose of discovering the will of the Earth, science protege Gamu Takayama briefly encountered the mysterious glowing red giant, Ultraman Gaia, at the end of a tunnel of light.

When the Radical Destruction Bringer commenced its first wave of attacks on Earth with the C.O.V., XIG was too inexperienced to be effective. Frustrated on how to stop the monster, time stopped and Gamu fell through another light tunnel, where he encountered Gaia again. Because Gamu was so passionately concerned with the fate of Earth and humanity, Gaia accepted Gamu’s will and gave him the Light. Thus, Gamu transformed into Ultraman Gaia and fought and defeated the monster. Seize the Light!

From then on, more Radical Destruction Bringer-generated monsters were sent to Earth. Adding to the matter, Earth-based monsters were mysteriously awoken. Gamu joined XIG as an analyzer, and later created the Esplender to store the Light that was the essence of Gaia. A Hero Appears

While on a mission, Gamu had an unexpected reunion with the mysterious Hiroya Fujimiya, the foreboding youth who possessed the Light of Ultraman Agul. Fujimiya was responsible for developing the CRISIS computer array and its dire predictions, whom after many recalculations, learned that the only way to save the Earth from Radical Destruction Bringer was to eliminate humans from the equation. He left the Alchemy Stars in pursue of his own research, only accompanied by Professor Kyoko Inamori. During his attempt to find the will of the Earth, he discovered Agul. The Birth of Agul

Agul and Gaia both fought against the Radical Destruction Bringer and occasionally helped each other out, although Agul made it clear their alliances were based on his duty for the Earth and his own ambitions, not out of friendship or gratitude. Fujimiya grew more agitated and reckless, and had less and less regard for his fellow humans in his desperate mission to save the Earth. He pushed himself to the point of endangering his own health, and became feverish and irresponsible. After involving himself in a bar fight, he declared that humans must be purged from the Earth.

Gamu's vision of Gaia's fight ended up with both sides' death.

Gaia and Agul had a major clash and both were badly wounded. Incredible energy was released during the fight, which generated a giant wormhole. An immense serpent named Zoruim partially emerged to invade Earth. It turned out that Zoruim was anticipating this clash, and was able to influence CRISIS's computations. Gamu explained to Fujimiya that Crisis was sabotaged all along, and its analysis was fundamentally flawed. Fujimiya realized everything he believed in was based on this flaw, and became dejected, losing faith in himself. He gave Gamu the Light of Agul so that he could use it to defeat Zoruim. Fujimiya left the scene, seemingly killed by a blast from Zoruim. The Showdown for Tomorrow

First appearence of Gaia V2

To ensure his sacrifice wasn't in vain, Gamu accepted Agul's Light into his Esplender, and afterwards transformed into a new and improved Ultraman Gaia: Gaia V2. Gaia headed for Zoruim and attacked it with the Quantum Stream, but it did little than annoy him. Gaia switched into his new Supreme Version and went into Zoruim through its mouth, and used the Photon Stream to destroy the monster from the inside. The wormhole closed shortly afterwards. The Final Resolution

V2 v V1

Gaia vs Fake Gaia

The Crisis Ghost Virus infected GUARD Europe and the Aerial Base’s computer. GUARD Europe was forced to shutdown their computer, and the Aerial Base was nearly taken down. Although Atsuko and Georgie's joined efforts seemingly destroyed the virus, the Crisis Ghost escaped to Geo Base, where it invaded the storage containing the fragments of Apatee and Alguros. After melding the pieces together, it morphed into Imit-Ultraman Gaia. However, it misjudged Ultraman Gaia's power, and its imitation form was quickly revealed to its true face: Mimos, a combination of Apatee and Alguros from the past. Gaia quickly engaged in combat, but soon Mimos gained the upper hand with its new weapons. Mimos pinned Gaia with a fork while its four active boomerangs lashed his hands and feet. Thanks to XIG's air support, Gaia was soon freed and transformed into Supreme Version. Turning the tide, Gaia used the Photon Stream to defeat Mimos. A New Battle ~Version-up Fight!~

Ultraman Tiga, Ultraman Dyna, & Ultraman Gaia: The Decisive Battle in Hyperspace[]

Tiga dyna gaia88888oo

Gaia alongside with Tiga and Dyna.

In a world where Ultramen and kaiju were fictional, a young boy named Tsutomu was failing school due to his addiction to Ultraman Gaia. One night, while watching an episode of Gaia, he was brought to a hyperspace where he saw a girl. Behind the girl was a scene of mass destruction. The next day, a transfer student strongly resembling the girl, named Lisa, was introduced to his class. Later on, he found a mysterious glowing red ball that told him it could make any wish come true. The one thing Tsutomu wanted more than anything else was to meet Gamu Takayama, who was also Ultraman Gaia. His wish came true and Gamu appeared in his world, but a bully took the ball and made his own wish; for a kaiju, Satan Bizor, to fight Gaia.

Gamu instructed PAL to land the Fighter EX on a safe location, then transformed into Ultraman Gaia. He was quick to realize that he was losing energy faster than usual, but managed to defeat the kaiju regardless. Afterwards, reverting back to Gamu, he was chased by children who were a fan of him. He managed to elude them by hiding in a toy shop. Inside, Gamu was fascinated to see toys and merchandise of various ultraman shows (and surprised the shop owner). Tsutomu and his friends found Gamu and explained how he was brought to their world. Tsutomu suggested hiding Gamu and his Fighter EX in his secret base, an abandoned hanger. During his stay, Gamu noticed that Tsutomu had a present for Lisa. It was a book called "Gulliver's Travels", which was a favorite of Gamu's as a child. While Gamu was scanning the red ball for answers, the local police had the hangar surrounded after trailing his aircraft. Gamu attempted to persuade them but was met with clashes. Suddenly, he vanished into thin air and found himself back in his own world, along with Tsutomu's story book. He was soon able to recall the events and checked the data he scanned from the ball, and received a vision telling him that Tsutomu's world would soon be destroyed.

Unfortunately, during the confusion, Tsutomu lost the ball and was recovered by the bully and his companions. The bullies wished for the existence of the strongest monster. This wish created the King of Mons, who immediately started destroying their neighborhood. Meanwhile, Gamu became determined to save Tsutomu's world. He soon found his way there with the aid of an experimental container mecha, the Adventure. The Adventure did little damage on the King of Mons and was destroyed. Gamu then transformed into Gaia to battle the giant kaiju. The King of Mons spawned two more kaiju; Basiliss and Sculla. Tsutomu, seeing Gaia struggling in battle, wished for help only to be thrown into the air by one of the Kaiju's stray beams. Just as all seemed lost he was rescued by Ultraman Tiga and Ultraman Dyna, who had appeared after his wishing. The three giants battled the Kaiju. Tiga and Dyna defeated the King of Mons' spawns while Gaia, now in Supreme Version, managed to obliterate the King of Mons with his Photon Stream. Later, Gamu revealed Lisa's secret to Tsutomu: she was the human-interface of the red ball. Although Lisa would disappear forever, she urged Tsutomu to wish for the ball to vanish forever, repairing all of the damage that had been caused by it to the world. Before leaving for his world, Gamu returned the story book to Tsutomu and thanked it for allowing him to meet Tsutomu again.

Battle Against Radical Destruction Bringer Part 2[]

Agul eventually returned, and he and Gaia set their differences aside to fight the common enemy. When Gamu's life was threatened by the robotic monster Σ-Zuigul, Fujimiya pleaded the Earth itself to let him fight one more time. The Earth accepted him and once again granted him the power of Agul, as Agul Version 2. The Resurrection of Agul

Later in the series, GUARD became more proactive in defending Earth. They tried to eliminate the dormant monster Tigris by sending a ground-penetrating nuclear bomb into the ground, a plan that backfired horribly. In another attempt, they created an artificial wormhole to send a planet-killer missile to the home planet of the monsters C.O.V. and Pazuzu, also suffering from disastrous consequences.

The Radical Destruction Bringer took this opportunity to send in enhanced versions of the C.O.V. and a Pazuzu through the wormhole. What became evident to Gamu was that monsters like Tigris, Mizunoeno Dragon, Syazac, and Izac were inhabitants of the Earth like humans were, and perhaps it was not fair to eradicate them when their only instinct was to survive. As for the creatures sent by the Radical Destruction Bringer, they were not inherently evil. When they were sent to Earth their first instinct was simply to survive in an alien environment. Thus, Gamu/Gaia confronted his morals and human motives. Gaia and Agul finally joined forces to defeat the monsters. The Attack of the Space Monsters

Blitz-Blotz, a black and white avian monster who had the ability to absorb and fire back energy attacks with the its chest, systematically destroyed GUARD's bases, and almost defeated Agul V2 in the process. Tigris II emerged to fight Blitz-Blotz and with the combined forces of GUARD and Gaia, defeated Blitz-Blotz. The Living Planet

The Radical Destruction Bringer commenced their final stages of assault on Earth by deploying the Deathbringer and his Mokian. Inside Mokian was a monopole, a theoretical object that had enough magnetic power to pull apart the Earth's crust and end civilization. It was revealed by the Deathbringer that the Radical Destruction Bringer considered humans as a threat to the entire universe and must be eradicated. XIG launched an all-out attack on Mokian but to no avail. When Commander Ishimuro was about to ram the now-evacuated Aerial Base into the monster, Gamu transformed into Gaia and tried to destroy it. Gaia inflicted moderate damage on Mokian, but was restrained and tortured by it. To destroy Mokian and save Gaia, the Commander rammed the Aerial Base as originally planned. The Commander was rescued by Gaia at the very last moment before the Aerial Base exploded along with Mokian. XIG Destroyed!?

The Deathbringer then wrecked havoc on the cities in the form of Zebubu. Agul arrived to fight him, but he ended up getting his leg pierced with Zebubu's spear. Gaia (after Gamu had revealed his identity to XIG) soon came in to heal Agul and let him retreat. After a brutal fight Zebubu was defeated. The Revenge of the Death God

Final Battle Against Zog[]

The Radical Destruction Bringer sets into motion its ultimate plan, sending the Dobishi to Earth to blot out the Sun worldwide, leading the planet to a slow death while they cut off communications and destroyed GUARD's forces. The Earth started to weaken, and correspondingly, Gaia and Agul's light as well. Still, Gamu and Fujimiya transformed to fight off the Dobishis until they were overwhelmed. Suddenly, they were saved by Zog, a giant, white angel. An Angel Descends She kills the Kaiser Dobishis that the Ultramen are fighting, and replenishes Gaia and Agul's power, only to completely overpower the two and make their Life Gauges expire. The two Ultramen turn back into Gamu and Fujimiya, which is telecast by the two KCB cameramen, despite Reiko's protests to turn off the camera. The battle is broadcasted across the entire world. They survive, but can no longer transform into Gaia and Agul.

At this point, all of Earth's monsters start emerging again all around the world to protect Earth from the Dobishis and Kaiser Dobishis. The Cry of the Earth

Everyone is brought back and united to participate together in the final battle against Zog. Gaia, Agul, XIG, the Earth monsters, the Alchemy Stars, the KCB TV crew, and even Gamu's parents show up to encourage him. Gamu hatches a final scheme, in which the Alchemy Stars network is used to assist the last of the XIG fighters, including a few planes modified by Alchemy Stars, to channel energy from the Earth monsters to give Gamu and Fujimiya the ability to transform back into Gaia and Agul.

Boosted with this huge supply of energy, Gaia and Agul wipe the Earth clean of the hordes of Dobishi. However, as Gaia finishes off the Dobishi, Zog reappears. She strikes down Gaia and Agul, but they fiercely counterattack. After being briefly staggered by the counterattack, Zog morphs from her angel form into a colossal demon-like monster.

Gaia and Agul then worked together and destroy Zog with their strongest attack, formed by combining their energy beams. Earth is Ultraman's Star

Ultraman Gaia: Gaia Again[]

Having lost the ability to transform into Gaia and Agul after their battles against Zog, Gamu and Fujimiya returned to their normal lives. Shortly after, the underwater civilization sought for humanity's help. They restored Gaia's Light to Gamu, allowing him to become Gaia again to battle the remnants of the Radical Destruction Bringer, Gakuzom. He was joined by Fujimiya, who had also regained his powers from the same source. After the battle, Gamu and Fujimiya parted ways as they continued living their normal lives. Ultraman Gaia: Gaia Again

Ultraman Ginga[]

Gaia participated in the Dark Spark War but this time he fought not only alongside with the Ultraman Agul but, with the other Ultras and their allies against the evil side. In the war, Ultraman faced Zetton while in their midst battle, Dark Lugiel appeared and turned every Ultra alongside their allies, monsters and aliens into Spark Dolls with Gamu still as his human host. Just as the war was about to end, an unknown warrior appeared and faced Dark Lugiel but like the others he was also turned into a Spark Doll but he was kept within his Spark Device and fell alongside the other Spark Dolls to Earth.

After Ginga defeated Lugiel, Gaia is presumed to have returned to his original form and returned home in the form of a ball of light along with Agul and the other Spark Dolls. Your Future

The return of Gaia

Gaia was among the Heisei Ultras imprisoned by Etelgar and Arena in the Evil Mirror. After being freed, he regroups with Ultraman Tiga and Ultraman Dyna, facing the chimeric monster Five King that manifested from the combined form of their traumas against past monsters (in Gaia's case, Gan-Q and C.O.V.). Gaia turned into his Supreme Version while Tiga changed into Power Type and Dyna changed into Miracle Type. Eventually, the three managed to defeat the ferocious monster with their combined attacks of Tiga's Deracium Beam Torrent, Dyna's Revolium Wave Attack Type, and Gaia's Photon Stream.

  • Double Photon Burst (ダブルフォトンバースト, Daburu Foton Bāsuto): Gaia and Agul unleash their Photon Edge and Photon Crusher, respectively. Both beams collide with each other, creating a more powerful beam.
  • Double Slash Buster (ダブルスラッシュバスター, Daburu Surasshu Basutā): Gaia and Agul shoot their Gaia Slash and Agul Slash at their opponent at the same time.
  • Photon Square (フォトンスクエア, Foton Sukuea): Gaia and Agul unleash their Photon Stream and Photon Screw at the opponent.
  • Burst Stream (バーストストリーム, Bāsuto Sutorīmu): Gaia unleashes the Photon Stream while Agul fires the Agul Stream. The energy rays collide and produce a far more powerful attack.
    • Stream Explosion (ストリーム・エクスプロージョン, Sutorīmu Ekusupurōjon): Gaia and Agul unleash their Photon Stream and Agul Stream, respectively at different heights, creating an enormous beam that even defeated Zog.
  • Beam Barrage: Gaia and Agul fire all their beam attacks at the enemy, rapidly and successively.
  • TDG Special (TDGてぃーでぃーじースペシャル, Tī Dī Jī Supesharu): Tiga, Dyna and Gaia fire their Zeperion Beam, Empowered Solgent Beam and Photon Stream simultaneously towards a single target. This attack is first demonstrated in Ultraman Z through the titular Ultra's Gamma Illusion duplicates in against Destrudos, but is officially acknowledged in the 2021 installment of Ultraman Fusion Fight!.[4]

Super Supreme Version

Super Supreme Version (スーパー・スプリーム・ヴァージョン, Sūpā Supurīmu Vājon, abbreviated as SSV) is the Version Up form of Gaia Supreme Version formed through his fusion with Agul Supreme Version after Gaia received Agul's light.[5]

The form debuted in the first stage show held at Ultra Heroes EXPO 2023 Summer Festival to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Ultraman Gaia, and later appears alongside Trigger and Decker in the second stage show.[6][7]

As the decisive battle unfolds, Gamu/Gaia Supreme Version struggles against Satan Bizor. Fujimiya/Agul Supreme Version assists him, and he responds to Gamu's determination by sending light from the Agulater. Gamu and Fujimiya then call out the names of their Ultraman alter egos and join forces to become Gaia Super Supreme Version, who makes easy work of Satan Bizor and destroys the kaiju with his finisher.[8]

Alternatively, in TDG THE LIVE: Ultraman Gaia STAGE 1, rather than receiving Agul's light again, Gamu/Gaia had the idea to fuse after witnessing Ginga and Victory fuse into Ultraman Gingavictory as a symbol of their bond, and were able to do so after being re-energized by the audience's light.

Techniques
Special
  • Super Supreme Photon Edge (スーパースプリームフォトンエッジ, Sūpā Supurīmu Foton Ejji)[9]: Gaia bends down with his hands in front of his head, overloading them with energy, before unleashing red and blue whip-like beam blades known as the Super Supreme Blades (スーパースプリームブレード, Sūpā Supurīmu Burēdo).
  • Super Supreme Photon Stream: Gaia performs the same actions as the Photon Stream, and fires a destructive beam from both arms.

Trivia[]

  • Ultraman Gaia is the first Ultra to fire his beam with his horizontal arm behind his vertical one, instead of in front.
  • In the movie New Century Ultraman Legend, Gaia's and Agul's grunts were reused from Ultraman Zearth's.
  • Gaia's Color Timer sound is a higher pitched version of Tiga's.
  • The change of color in his Gaia Breaster in V2 is due to designer Hiroshi Maruyama's wish for a black coloration in a titular Ultra Warrior. Said color is inspired by black tea.
  • Ultraman Gaia Super Supreme Version marks Hiroshi Maruyama's return to designing an Ultra Hero ever since Ultraman Mebius.[10]
