Ultrawoman Grigio (ウルトラウーマングリージョ Urutoraūman Gurījo) is a female Ultra Warrior, and is the younger sister of Ultraman Rosso and Ultraman Blu. She first appeared in Ultraman R/B The Movie.
Etymology
Grigio means "Gray" in Italian, a name shared with a species of kaiju in the series. Despite this, their Japanese names are spelled and pronounced differently: Ultrawoman Grigio (ウルトラウーマングリージョ Urutoraūman Gurījo) vs Grigio Bone (グルジオボーン Gurujio Bōn). The official website further reveals that the former Katakana was indeed from Saki Mitsurugi's true name, which Asahi adopted as her Ultrawoman alter-ego in her memory.
History
Ultraman R/B The Movie: Select! The Crystal of Bond
The Minato Siblings teaming up with Geed
During the battle against Ultraman Tregear and Snake Darkness, Asahi had transformed into Grigio Regina. However, her attacks, as well as those of Ultramen Rosso, Blu and Geed were ineffective against them. As they were about to be beaten, Saki Mitsurugi's spirit reached out to Asahi, who unlocked her true power. Grigio Regina's exoskeleton then split open, and Ultrawoman Grigio emerged from it. Restoring the energy of the three Ultra Warriors, she helped them against their opponents but they were still outclassed. To finish the battle, the Minato siblings joined hands and called upon the Makoto Crystal, fusing Rosso, Blu and Grigio into Ultraman Groob, joining Geed Ultimate Final in a more evenly-matched battle. Eventually, Groob destroyed Snake Darkness via the Groobing Ray and freed Yukio from Tregear's dark influence. Ultraman R/B The Movie: Select! The Crystal of Bond

Trivia
- Similar to Cereza, Grigio's name may also be based off of a certain brand of wine.
- Grigio is:
- The very first female Ultra Warrior to be introduced in the "New Generation" portion of the franchise's history.
- The third female Ultra Warrior in the Heisei era as well as the sixth female Ultra Warrior overall, and the first to have been introduced in 14 years, after Dark Faust, but she is also the first and only heroic female Ultra Warrior in the Heisei Era, as Camearra and Faust were both villains.
- The second female Ultra Warrior in canon to actually use the title "Ultrawoman" after Ultrawoman Beth, and the first to debut in a Japanese-created and live-action series.
- The first Ultra Warrior to feature orange coloring on her body, and the first New Generation Ultra Hero to not heavily feature black coloring since Ultraman X.
- One of her concept art designs depicted her having long strands of hair, as well as pink eyes.[3]
- A good deal of fans have expressed confusion at Grigio's absence during the battle between the New Gen Ultras and Tregear prior to the events of Taiga. While no answer has yet been given, it could be that Rosso and Blu left her on Earth for unknown reasons, possibly considering it too dangerous.
