Ultraman Tiga is the eponymous Ultra Hero of Ultraman Tiga. He is notable for being the first Ultraman in the franchise to be able to change forms, as well as being the first Ultra to appear in a televised series since Ultraman 80, ending a 15-year semi-hiatus.

Conception

Etymology

The name Tiga in both Malaysian and Indonesian languages, means the number three, possibly to reference the three forms this Ultra can take. Due to this, the Indonesian subtitles for the show, and some English translations that are based on Indonesian or Malay, have mistakenly referred to Ultraman Tiga as "Ultraman Three".

History

Ancient Times

Tiga and the Giants of Darkness

Tiga was once one of the Ultra-Ancient Giants of Light who came to the Earth as light, from a certain nebula far away. He and his race fought against monsters such as Golza to protect the Ultra-Ancient Civilization on R'lyeh 30 million years ago, but eventually Tiga and a few others found the power of "darkness", and gained a great power, becoming evil Giants of Darkness of which Tiga was the strongest at the time. A civil war broke out between the Ultras, and the ancient civilization they once protected became a battlefield and graveyard for many of them. Eventually, Yuzare somehow convinced Tiga to follow the path of light again. Tiga defeated Darramb, Hudra, and his former lover Camearra and took their powers, gaining his Type Changes. He also sealed them as stone statues in the R'lyeh ruins.

Tiga and his companions saved the civilization from countless catastrophes, but then Gijera arose, using its addictive pollen on all of humanity as they entered a stupor, hallucinating of a happier world and awaited destruction rather than face the harshness of the reality they were going through. Tiga and his companions could do nothing more for the humans, embedding their "power to become light" into the genes of great warriors and their descendants, passed down through the ages. The ancient giants left their bodies, now turned to stone, in a pyramid, and returned to the nebula they came from as their natural form of light.

Ultraman Tiga Gaiden: Revival of the Ancient Giant

Ultraman Tiga vs Dogouf

An ancient legend of a village stated that long ago, the village was attacked by a terrible monster but saved by a giant. After that battle the giant returned to the mountain and disappeared with the people of the village worshiping his memory, the Giant of Light.

Years later, a wandering monster hunter stumbled upon the legendary Sparklence beside a monster she had just killed. Not knowing what it was, she kept it but when she approached a village under attack by another monster the Sparklence started to shiver. The village's wooden defenses were no match for the monster and the village was heavily damaged with the defenders of the village trying to confront it with spears. It turned out the monster was 'summoned' to that time by a sorcerer who wanted to prevent the revival of Tiga by destroying the golden pyramid in which his remains lay petrified.

When Tsubasa Madoka, the son of Daigo Madoka and Rena Yanase, was sent into the past by the sorcerer, he saw the Sparklence which fell out the monster hunter's bag. He instantly noticed it resembled the one his father used to transform into Tiga. He grabbed it away before the monster hunter could object and transformed into Tiga. The monster was defeated easily but at the end Tiga disappears as Tsubasa was not destined to truly wield his power, even if he had the right genetics, and the whole village was devastated. Later Amui; a country boy who befriended Tsubasa, tells the village he saw the giant of light, but nobody believed him until the defenders stated they saw Tiga as well. Hearing this one of the seers in the village claimed the prophecy was coming true and soon someone in their village would be the one to awaken Tiga. Though Tiga defeated the sorcerer's first monster, he sent his strongest monster and his two acolytes to try and destroy the pyramid again. The villagers, with help from another village's elites, and the monster hunter fought the two acolytes but Tsubasa failed to defeat the monster Dogouf who defeated Tiga easily.

Tsubasa reverted to human form exhausted and the ancient Sparklence was almost trampled by Dogouf but Amui saved it and turned out to be the one who would fulfill the prophecy. He used the device to transform into Tiga, ultimately stopping Dogouf. Tsubasa then fixed his jet and returned to the future with Tiga watching over the village ever since. Though the village disappeared in time, the land came to be known as Tiga, a vital clue that allowed GUTS to find the pyramid in the first place. ^{Ultraman Tiga Gaiden: Revival of the Ancient Giant}

Ultraman Tiga

Tiga Reborn

Tiga's body laid petrified in the golden pyramid and was discovered when the TPC's expert team GUTS was dispatched to search for the pyramid spoken of in a holographic message from the ancient civilization. They intended to find Tiga in a last ditch effort to stop the two beasts that had appeared; Melba and Golza. However, the two beasts destroyed the pyramid and began to destroy the petrified Ultra beings. Before Tiga could be destroyed, he was rejuvenated when he merged with the GUTS pilot Daigo Madoka who had turned into light, and quickly destroyed Melba, while Golza fled. ^{Inheritance of Light}

Rising of the Evil God

Tiga would continue to serve Earth, albeit without his Ultra comrades. Later on the holographic message told Daigo that he and Tiga were one and the same, implying that he was once Tiga in a past life. As time passes, Tiga would face powerful opponents such as Gagi, Gobnu, Kyrieloid, Weaponizer, Evil Tiga, Zoiger, and other enemies sometimes with or without the aid of GUTS.

Tiga faces Gatanothor

As Tiga's time on Earth began to draw to a close, the servants of Darkness began to attack. The first of these was Gijera a servant of the darkness itself that threatened to drown humanity in a dreamlike euphoria. Whereas the Tiga of the past could do nothing to stop Gijera because the humans at the time would rather accept it and their coming destruction rather than live their difficult human lives, the Tiga of the present was, as Yuzare said, "a human and the light", which Daigo interpreted as the ability to forge a path of his own despite being Tiga, and defeated Gijera. Nook and Terra note that the is the first giant of light to have interfered with the humans' decisions, but thanks him for it. The final servant of darkness was Zoiger, who Tiga destroyed with great difficulty, almost faced with defeat. Tiga's final battle took place upon the appearance of Gatanothor; the master of all darkness which Gijera and Zoiger bowed to. Tiga was defeated by the evil lord and was petrified once again, but he was later revived by the hopes of the children of the world which transformed them into beings of light to merge with the Titan. This rejuvenation allowed Tiga to transform into his Glitter form with tremendous power and destroy the evil god. However, Tiga's victory came at a cost: Daigo lost his power and couldn't transform to Ultraman Tiga anymore as the Sparklence disintegrated into dust. However, Daigo tells Rena he believes that every human could also become light with their own power. ^{To the Shining Ones}

Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssey

Two years after Tiga defeated Gatanothor, Daigo and Rena had become engaged with the date of their marriage fast approaching. However, due to TPC's attempt to harness the power of Ultraman like Keigo Masaki once did with Evil Tiga, they released the Giants of Darkness from their seal in the ruins of R'lyeh that arose with Gatanothor. Upon the intervention of Camearra, Tiga's former comrade, Daigo began having visions and nightmares until he was beaten by the human forms of the three Dark Ultras. He was given another Sparklence and told to go to R'lyeh where Camearra and her loyal partners waited. The spirit of Yuzare explained to Tiga what became of the giant's civilization; Camearra, Tiga, and the other two dark giants won a civil war amongst the Earthbound Ultras, with only a few giants surviving. She explained Camearra's plan, the three were trapped behind a barrier on R'lyeh that would hold for a century but if he were to use the power of darkness the barrier would shatter. Daigo decided to deal with his past life's unfinished business and set out for R'lyeh Island with GUTS and his wife arriving shortly after him.

Tiga as Tiga Blast after absorbing Hudra's Hugust

Once there Daigo used the Black Sparklence, transforming into Tiga but due to the Black Sparklence's power he transformed into Tiga's original form; Tiga Dark, a warrior of Darkness. This transformation broke the pyramid of Light that bound the Giants of Darkness to the island, but before they enjoyed their freedom, they were pitted against their former friend. Tiga fought against his two past partners, Hudra and Darramb. Refusing their offer to join them, Tiga fought them both, one at a time, and barely managed to defeat them both. After absorbing their dark energy, he was able to dispel portions of the the darkness inside him and achieve purer forms of himself.

"I have things I need to protect! All of my friends... as well as the person who is most important to me!"

―Daigo Madoka (as Ultraman Tiga) to Camearra, Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssey

Tiga versus Camearra

After finishing off his former comrade, Tiga finally fought Camearra herself, who did not hold back against her old lover. GUTS arrived on the island to investigate shortly before and Rena, using GUTS Wing 1, entered the battlefield attracting Camearra's attention. Camearra was about to destroy the jet, but Tiga shielded Rena with his own body. This act of benevolence dispelled the last of his darkness completely and he was returned to his normal form, but the battle wasn't over.

The Ancient Ultras give their remaining light to Tiga

Enraged that her former lover had found a new beloved, Camearra awakened the Darkness from the depths of the island, and merged with it, becoming her ultimate form; Demonthor. The gaseous beast attacked Tiga, who was unable to fight back. After a short battle, Tiga was killed by Demonthor, and Camearra was ready to destroy the world. But the souls of the fallen warriors of R'lyeh Island gave their remaining power to Tiga, reviving and transforming him once again into his Glitter form. This time Demonthor could not harm him so she grabbed him and absorbed him into herself where his Light was unleashed. Ultraman Tiga destroyed the beast, from the inside, and Camearra with it with the Zerades Beam. Later after Daigo had returned to human form he found the dying body of Camearra, who confessed that she once wished for the power of light as well. Daigo held her hand as the darkness's grip on her was relinquished and she died a pure soul. This was Daigo's final battle as Tiga, and the legacy of mankind's protector was passed onto Tiga's successor, Ultraman Dyna, to defend the Earth in Tiga's place. ^{Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssey}

Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna: Warriors of the Star of Light

Tiga and Dyna victorious

Although Daigo doesn't appear in the movie, Tiga reappeared because of humanity's hope to save Ultraman Dyna, with both of the Ultra Warriors managing to destroy Queen Monera. Tiga uses the Zeperion Beam and Dyna uses the Solgent Beam and Queen Monera is defeated. ^{Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna: Warriors of the Star of Light}

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

Tiga alongside Dyna and Gaia

Just like before, this Tiga alongside Dyna appeared due to Tsutomu's desire to save Gaia and to defeat King of Mons and his allies (Basiliss and Sculla). All of this came about by a sphere that granted wishes. Tiga battled Sculla and managed to destroy him with the Zeperion Beam. Both Tiga and Dyna vanished along with the sphere after Tsutomu wished it away. ^{Ultraman Tiga, Ultraman Dyna, & Ultraman Gaia: The Decisive Battle in Hyperspace}

Ultraman Ginga

Tiga fighting his old enemy Golza

Prior to the Ultraman Ginga TV series, Ultraman Tiga participated in the Dark Spark War with other Ultras that came from other universes against the forces of evil. In the war, Ultraman Tiga faced Golza but in their midst battle, Dark Lugiel appeared and turned every Ultra alongside their allies, monsters and aliens into Spark Dolls. With the war over, 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 other Spark Dolls to Earth. ^{Town of Falling Stars} It was revealed that Tiga was part of Dark Lugiel's collection.

Tiga Dark about to attack Hikaru, Taro and Tomoya

Dark Lugiel used the Dark Dummy Spark to corrupt Tiga's Spark Doll and turn him into his dark past self: Tiga Dark. Tiga Dark attacked Jean-Killer and severely damaged him so much that it made him revert back to his Human Host, Tomoya. At the moment Hikaru discovered that Tomoya was the one controlling the gargantuan robot, but while wondering who attacked him, Tiga Dark appeared before them. Taro told them it was Ultraman Tiga, while Alien Valky tried to correct him, saying it was his "cooler" form Tiga Dark, but his speech fell on deaf ears, as he said it too far away from them.

Tiga Dark's Hand Slash stopped by Taro's Ultra Psychokinesis

Tiga Dark attacked the trio with a Hand Slash, but Ultraman Taro managed to use Ultra Psychokinesis to deflect the attack, which fell on Valky knocking him out. Ultraman Taro told the duo to run as quickly as possible but as they argued and did not take notice when Tiga fired another Hand Slash. This time, Taro noted was too strong to deflect. As such Taro teleported the three away to safety.

Tiga Dark was not seen again until after the rematch between Jean-Killer and Ginga, a battle Ginga won by destroying Tomoya's Dummy Spark, rendering Jean-Killer immobile. Tiga appeared and began to fight Ginga, who was able to barely match him. To uneven the odds, Tiga transformed Valky into a giant to do battle with him. Together they began to overpower Ginga, until Tomoya reactivated Jean-Killer as Jean-Nine. Ginga and Jean-Nine eventually overpowered the two, defeating with their finishers and returning them to Spark Doll form. Tiga fell in his purified form. ^{The Dream Destroyers The Dream Battle}

Tiga vs Tyrant in the Theater Special

Hikaru Ultlives into Ultraman Tiga after witnessing Alien Icarus Darkliving several monsters and himself into the powerful Kaiju Tyrant. Tiga begins to fight with the monster avoiding being cut by Tyrant's mace and tail. He then uses the Zeperion Beam, but only for Tyrant to use his Bemstar gorge to absorb it all until he couldn't do it anymore, his timer also started to flash. Then Jean-Nine comes and rushes Tyrant and aids in helping Tiga. When Jean-Nine's cannon was caught by the monster, he slashed at Tyrant's Barabba Whip and cuts it off, knocking him off balance. The robot then handed Tiga the hook which he then turned into energy and threw it at Tyrant's chest. Weakened Jean-Nine used the Jean Stardust and launched it at Tyrant. Tyrant was then defeated and the Spark Dolls returned. ^{Ultraman Ginga Theater Special}

Kenta Ultlived into Tiga along with Seiichiro and Chigusa, who Ultlived into Seven and Ultraman to assist Jean-Nine in restraining Super Grand King so Hikaru could get through to Misuzu. Despite their efforts, Super Grand King ultimately defeated them. ^{Darkness and Light}

After Ginga defeated Dark Lugiel, Tiga is assumed to have returned to normal and went back to his universe in the form of a ball of light like the other Spark Dolls. ^{Your Future}

Tiga charges up the Zeperion Beam

Tiga returned when Kenta and Chigusa sought a way to stop Alien Magma, who had Darklived Zetton. With Kenta as his host once more he fought together with Ultraman on the moon. Despite their best efforts, both monsters easily overpowered them. Moreover, both Tiga and Ultraman's Color Timers began to blink. Fortunately, Ginga appeared in the nick of time and defeated both Alien Magma and Zetton. Ginga then transported Tiga and Ultraman back to Earth before they reverted back to Kenta and Chigusa. ^{Friends Left Behind}

Ultraman Ginga S The Movie: Showdown! The 10 Ultra Warriors!

Tiga in the Ginga S film

Tiga was among the Heisei Ultras imprisoned by Etelgar and Arena in the Evil Mirror. After being freed by UPG, he and the Heisei Ultras teamed up with Ultraman Ginga and Victory. He regroups with Ultraman Dyna and Gaia, facing an Eteldummy of the chimeric monster Five King that manifested from the combined form of their traumas against past monsters (in Tiga's case, Golza and Melba). Tiga turned into Power Type with Dyna in his Miracle Type and Gaia in his Supreme Version. 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. ^{Ultraman Ginga S The Movie: Showdown! The 10 Ultra Warriors!}

Ultraman Orb

Despite not appearing in the series, Ultraman Tiga was the one that sealed away Magatanothor, the Darkness Lord Monster, in ancient times. Tiga's Ultra Fusion Card was collected by Gai Kurenai after the defeat of the monster and was used in present times to assume Ultraman Orb's Spacium Zeperion form.

He did manifest in the real world via his Ultra Fusion Card for Spacium Zeperion's real-time transformation and also to help Orb finish off the Giga Lord Monster, Magatano-Orochi, by firing his Zeperion Beam. ^{The Wandering Sun}

Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga

Mitsukuni Shizuma recalled seeing Tiga in battle and saving humanity many times over. ^{Connection of LightThe Wings of That Day}

Tiga appeared when Yuna Shizuma awakened the "light" inside Mitsukuni, who unleashed it when Kyrieloid appeared. Tiga fought alongside Ultraman Trigger after restoring his energy, using their Type Changes to deal with the Kyrieloid, and then finished it off with their Zeperion Beams. When the battle was over, Tiga flew away and became light that went off into space. ^{What Makes a Savior}

Seeing the hopes of children become light and restore Trigger's strength, Shizuma is reminded of when the same happened to Tiga. ^{To the Ones Who Believe in Smiles / Pull the Trigger}

Daigo Madoka using the Sparklence

Daigo Madoka raises the Sparklence to the sky and activates it. When gripped tightly, the Sparklence' wing-like "appendages" then unfold and light shines from it, transforming Daigo into Tiga. Daigo has another transformation in which he brings the Sparklence close to his chest and presses the small gold button, causing him to merge with the Sparklence which turns into Tiga's chest crest and Color Timer. The Sparklence will not work if shrouded by any form of intense darkness. Sometimes, if in near death situations he is able to transform without it. During the series finale, the Sparklence disintegrated into dust perhaps due to Tiga being transformed into a statue again. In later media, after activating the Sparklence, Daigo shouts "Tiga" before transforming.

Appeared only in Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssey. The Black Sparklence is a dark version of its light counterpart. As Tiga was originally a dark Ultra, it stands to reason that this may have been the original form of the Sparklence. When gripped tightly and raised to the sky, the wing-like appendages unfold, dark energy shines from it and Daigo will transform into Tiga Dark. What became of it after the battle with Camearra is unknown; it possibly disappeared or may have turned into a new Sparklence like the original given that Daigo's son recognized an ancient version of his father's device. Regardless Daigo's days as an Ultra warrior were over as he never transformed again.

Spark Doll

Ultraman Tiga became a Spark Doll in the conclusion of the Dark Spark War due to the Dark Spark's powers. His Spark Doll was kept in Dark Lugiel's collection. Dark Lugiel later Darklived Tiga's Spark Doll into Tiga Dark to punish Tomoya for his betrayal and kill Hikaru. After his defeat, Tiga Dark was reverted back to his normal form and has been kept by Hikaru.

After Dark Lugiel's defeat, it is assumed Ultraman Tiga's Spark Doll is likely to have reverted back to its original form and departed Earth to return home.

Tiga Dark

Tiga Dark was Tiga's original form in ancient times, where it was colored black and gun-metal grey. He abandoned this form when he turned to the light. Millennia later however when the Giants of Darkness awakened again, Camearra gave Daigo the Black Sparklence and he was reborn once more. Due to Daigo's lack of an evil heart, he could not demonstrate the full power of this form, being only able to use about half of this form's true potential. The form was introduced during a vision induced by Camearra, Daigo first appeared as Tiga Multi Type but was quickly turned into Tiga's dark form. It appeared again in Ultraman Ginga after his Spark Doll was Darklived by Dark Lugiel.

During their fight Darramb said that Daigo was only using half of his true power, though he may have been comparing Tiga Dark to Tiga Multi Type. The original Tiga was also able to steal the abilities of his fellow Giants of Darkness.

Standard Abilities

• Zeperion Beam : Ultraman Tiga's signature finishing skill that is used against most monsters. Tiga charges energy in his arms before unleashing an L-style beam. In newer media, the Zeperion Beam has a blue light to it.
  • A non-charged variant can also be fired where Tiga uses the same actions he uses to charge the Zeperion Beam but without making the V-shaped arm cross formation, or even without needing to charge in some instances. One of the examples was shown against Galra. It is less powerful than the standard Zeperion Beam.
  • There is also a modified version of the Zeperion Beam whereby Tiga charges his hands and places it at his protectors before firing the ray. Used on Evil Tiga to revert him back to Keigo Masaki.
  • Powered-Up Zeperion Beam: A stronger version of the Zeperion Beam, performed in Crossover Formation.

Trivia

• Tiga is:
  • The first Ultra to have the ability to change forms, something that became common with most Ultras after him.
  • The second Ultra to have more than one rise sequence in his series. The first one is Ultraman 80.
  • The first Ultra to never speak beyond grunts, as his speaking is only done by his human hosts.
• Tiga was originally intended to use his Protectors and Tiga Slicer as a boomerang just like Ultraseven's Eye Slugger. However, this was scrapped for unknown reasons.
• The crystal on Tiga's forehead was meant to reflect the sunlight during lighting effects.
• Tiga was meant to have a total of four companions instead of two; it was originally planned that there were to be five statues in the pyramid instead of three. When two of them were crushed by Golza and Melba, the other two would fuse with Tiga to provide him with the Type Change powers. Had this plan went on in the series, the story of Tiga stealing the Giants of Darkness' powers would never have come about.
• Ultraman Tiga's form colors are said to be based on the wavelengths and strengths of the visible spectrum of light, from the weak ultraviolet to the strong infrared.
• Tiga Dark, Tiga Tornado, and Tiga Blast were meant to have different mask designs, separate from Tiga's Type Change forms but because of time constraints, they were forced to scrap these and have them recolored from the original costume designs.
• Ultraman Tiga's Color Timer sound is a modified of Zearth's.
• Designs based on Tiga's Color Timer were made for Ultraman Cosmos and Ultraman Max's Color Timers.
• Ultraman Tiga was originally proposed to be called Mountain Gulliver by Munakata but was rejected by the GUTS members due to them thinking the name was stupid. The name was later used for Mountain Gulliver 5 in Ultraman Dyna.
• Exclusively in episode 1, the Tiga Crystal lights up with the type change's color before Tiga places his hands over it.
• In episode 14, Tiga has unique, raspier grunts, possibly to illustrate his anger at Alien Muzan.
• Chronologically speaking, Tiga is the first evil Ultra to appear in his series. However, he was evil long ago during the time of the ancient civilization long before Evil Tiga. Also, Tiga was then purely evil, rather than Evil Tiga who was good but corrupted by Masaki's impure heart.
  • Tiga is also the first Ultra to defect from the side of evil and redeem himself.
• In Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssey and Great Decisive Battle! The Super 8 Ultra Brothers, Tiga has new grunts voiced by his human host's actor, Hiroshi Nagano, instead of Yuji Machi's. This may have been to provide a smoother transition between grunts and dialogue. This includes flashbacks and trailers for The Final Odyssey, where Nagano dubbed over footage from the TV series.
  • Tiga's attack sound effects were changed as well, such as the Zeperion Beam.
  • In Super 8 Ultra Brothers, Yuji Machi's echoier grunts from Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna: Warriors of the Star of Light were still used, specifically when Tiga starts to chase after Alien Hipporit and when he escapes from Giga Khimaira's Gold Destructor.
  • When Super 8 Ultra Brothers was featured in episode 8 of New Ultraman Retsuden, Nagano's grunts were replaced by Machi's.
• In Ultraman Fighting Evolution 3, Evil Tiga has Tiga's grunts at a lower-pitch. These grunts were later used for Tiga Dark in Ultraman Ginga.
• In some instances, Tiga's grunts are switched around, such as the grunts Tiga makes when using the Deracium Beam Torrent in his TV series being used when he fires the Zeperion Beam in Ultraman Ginga Theater Special and Ultraman X The Movie: Here He Comes! Our Ultraman.
• Tiga's Multi Type figure from the 2009 Ultra Hero Series line was mistakenly painted blue and red instead of purple and red.
• In original planning for Ultraman Ginga, Tiga Dark was meant to be used by Tomoya's father instead of being a corrupted version of himself.
• Tiga made an appearance in an Indonesian commercial for carrier network; Bolt ULTRA LTE, where it demonstrated the strength of the network carrier as having similarities to Tiga's form types.
• In Hiroshi Maruyama's Ultra Design Works featuring concept art and reimaginative artwork of the three Ultras from the TDG Project, an art piece of what is supposedly Ultraman Tiga with elements of Gatanothor included, exists.
• In an Ultraman Land stage show, a new form for Ultraman Tiga was introduced. According to one account, this form was brought about by Tiga releasing some of his inner darkness, effectively making it a blend of light and darkness.
  • In the final episode of Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga, Ultraman Trigger obtains a form, Trigger Truth, that shares a similar nature and design choice.
