Transformation[Note 1]
"The power of brothers become one!"
- ―Transformation announcement w/ Kiwami Crystal
"Enshrined by Extremity! Golden Universe!"
- ―Ruebe's transformation catchphrase
The sequence begins as both brothers take the Ultraman and Belial Crystals respectively, flip out the horns of the crystal and then insert the crystal as their R/B Gyro opens. The Gyros are thrust forward and the handles are pulled thrice. This causes both crystals to merge along with the Taro, Ginga, Tiga and Victory Crystals as well to form the Kiwami Crystal.
Katsumi opens the Kiwami Crystal by pressing on the side button to reveal its Kanji letter while Isami stands by his side. He then thrusts the Gyro forward and pulls the handles one last time and places the Gyro on his chest, before the two siblings transform into Ruebe. They no longer need to use the Ultraman and Belial Crystals after their first merger.

- Acceleration: Ruebe is able to accelerate to high speeds, used in conjunction with his R/B Kourin to land a succession of slashes.

- Buzzsaw Slash: After switching the R/B Kourin into Rosso Mode (ロッソモード Rosso Mōdo), the blades on the weapon can rotate and act as a buzzsaw cutter.
- Dashing Slash: After switching the R/B Kourin into Blu Mode (ブルモード Buru Mōdo), Ruebe can accelerate to high speeds and land multiple slashes on the opponent.
- Deflection: Using the R/B Kourin, Ruebe can deflect incoming projectile attacks.

- Barrier: The R/B Kourin is able to project an energy barrier in the shape of a spinning buzzsaw.
- Energy Slash: In Ultraman Fusion Fight!, Ruebe can fire a crescent-shaped energy slash from the R/B Kourin.
- Ruebe Vortex Buster (ルーブボルテックバスター Rūbu Borutekku Basutā): After switching the R/B Kourin into Rosso Mode (ロッソモード Rosso Mōdo) while using the Kiwami Crystal, Ruebe fires a destructive, rainbow-colored, tornado-like beam from the radius of the R/B Kourin.
- Shin Vortex Buster (シン・ボルテックバスター Shin Borutekku Basutā lit. True Vortex Buster): A destruction ray 10 times more powerful than the the Ruebe Vortex Buster, fired using the Makoto Crystal (in its closed form) in place of the Kiwami Crystal. It was powerful enough to destroy Leugocyte.
- Ruebe Kourin Shot (ルーブコウリンショット Rūbu Kourin Shotto): After switching the R/B Kourin into Blu Mode (ブルモード Buru Mōdo) while using the Kiwami Crystal, a buzzsaw slashing projectile is shot from the R/B Kourin.
- Shin Kourin Shot (シン・コウリンショット Shin Kōrin Shotto lit. True Kourin Shot) (Unused): An even more powerful version of the Ruebe Kourin Shot, using the Makoto Crystal (in its closed form) in place of the Kiwami Crystal.
