"The Legendary Ultra Warrior, Ultraman Legend."
- ―Delacion to Ultraman Legend, Ultraman Cosmos vs. Ultraman Justice: The Final Battle
Ultraman Legend is a Super Ultraman formed through the fusion of Cosmos and Justice. He was first introduced in the 2003 film Ultraman Cosmos vs. Ultraman Justice: The Final Battle, and made his latest appearance in Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy.
History
Past
Ultraman Legend was a figure of great power, the natives of Planet Gyashi (Jin and Shau from Ultraman Cosmos 2: The Blue Planet) recognized him as a being from their legends and held him in regard as the 'god' of the universe. He is said to possess the strongest attack in the universe.
Ultraman Cosmos vs. Ultraman Justice: The Final Battle
After Ultraman Cosmos and Ultraman Justice's fight with Gloker Bishop, they flew into space to engage Giga Endra, which was preparing to destroy humanity with its laser, the Eraser Ball. The two Ultras' beams had little effect against the huge war ship, and they were knocked back and almost eradicated by the spaceship's ray. In that moment, they united into one super-being, a giant of untold power and strength, Ultraman Legend. The powerful warrior of light absorbed the destructive beam of energy and forced it back into the ship, causing an explosion larger than that of any other, which ripped the craft apart and engulfed the superhero. Legend was unscathed by the blast.
Delacion then appeared, recognising Legend by name. Ultraman Legend separated back into Cosmos and Justice to speak to them. Ultraman Cosmos vs. Ultraman Justice: The Final Battle
Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy
Ultraman Legend in Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy
Shortly after Cosmos and Justice assisted 80, Neos and Seven 21 in defeating Leugocyte and Gymaira, Absolute Tartarus ambushed the five Ultras, using his Absolute Destruction to floor them all. After introducing himself and remarking that the Ultras were stronger than he expected, Tartarus prepared to kill the five heroes, and fired another blast of his Absolute Destruction, which Cosmos and Justice blocked. As the dust cleared, a single, glowing figure appeared in place of Cosmos and Justice, which then fully revealed itself as Ultraman Legend. A shot of Legend's Spark Legend led Tartarus to flee, and the Ultra then defused back into Cosmos and Justice. Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy

- Released as part of the "Super Sofubi Battle Series" lineup by Bandai China, this Ultraman Legend is likely to be a new mold, or a downscaled version of the original Ultra Hero Series toy as there is no Ultra Hero 500 mold for him (so far), Like all Ultra Hero 500 toys, the details on rear section are mostly omitted.
- For some reason, the toy also includes a groove underneath the left foot, which indicates that the toy was supposed to have a Live sign for the Bandai China's version of DX Victory Lancer or X Devizer.
- Ultraman Legend is packed with King Joe. Ironically, considering the lore of Ultraman Legend's power, King Joe would've been destroyed in one shot.

Miscellaneous
Trivia
- While Legend is the first Ultra explicitly referred to as a Fusion Ultra, he is actually the second in the series overall. The title of the first Fusion Ultra belongs to Ultraman Taro who fused with the five Ultra Brothers that preceded him to become Super Ultraman Taro.
- In The Absolute Conspiracy, Neos, Seven 21, and 80 describe Legend with the same exact dialogue as Jin and Shau in Cosmos vs. Justice.
- Their use of the phrase "true form" could imply that Cosmos and Justice were originally Legend before he split into the two. This would be odd as Cosmos is 3,000 years older than Justice.
- Legend was originally considered to be the star of the movie that eventually became Ultraman Saga, but he was turned down in place of a new Fusion Ultra.
