History
Ultraman Taiga The Movie: New Generation Climax
Ultraman Reiga appears
The might of Grimdo after devouring Tregear proved to be too much to handle, even for the combined powers of the New Generation Heroes in their final forms. As Taro shields the group from one of its attacks, he orders them to concentrate their energy on Taiga's Ultra Horns. Doing so grants Hiroyuki use of the New Generation Eye, which he uses to transform into Ultraman Reiga. Reiga withstands all of Grimdo's assaults with ease and defeats it with the Reiga Ultimate Blaster, destroying Grimdo and Tregear in the process. The New Generation Heroes then separate and bid farewell before they depart from Hiroyuki's Earth. Ultraman Taiga The Movie: New Generation Climax

Trivia
- Despite clearly being based on Ultraman Taiga, even having the same face, Color Timer, and voice actor, Reiga is considered a separate entity with a different name instead of being a power up form.
- In a magazine interview, Masayuki Gotoh revealed that Reiga's base design was reused from a scrapped design for Taiga. His horns were then changed and lengthened and the Taiga Spark, which he initially did not have, was put on his arm.[5]
- Having eleven component Ultras, Reiga sets a new record for the greatest number of Ultras in a fusion.[3]
- Reiga's transformation, which involves the New Generation Heroes channeling their energy into Taiga's horns, mirrors Taro's transformation into Super Ultraman Taro, where the Ultra Brothers perform the same process.
- Reiga's rise scene was recorded while the suit actor laid down facing upwards against a green screen background, with the footage turned upside down during editing.
