Ultimate Zero 
Strong-Corona Zero 
Luna-Miracle Zero 
Shining Zero 
The son of Ultraseven. An exceptionally powerful young Ultra, he was banished from the Land of Light after attempting to steal the planet's power source, the Plasma Spark. After years of training under Ultraman Leo, he eventually returned and proved himself a worthy hero in Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends. Afterwards, he would begin trekking the multiverse, pursuing after all sorts of powerful villains, clashing with Belial time and time again. He has since become one of the most important Ultras in the Ultra Series, frequently crossing over into other series, most notably Ultraman Geed, where he is one of the main characters. He has no single human host, but always uses the Ultra Zero Eye to transform.
  • The Ace: Zero is practically an ideal Ultra, being strong, powerful, having many friends, has defeated countless evils throughout the years and in various universes and on top of that has managed to save the Multiverse several times over. Though this does not apply to his academic skills, however.
  • Anatomy Arsenal: Like his father before him, Zero has multitude of weaponized body parts to employ:
    • First, the iconic Eye Slugger, only that Zero has two instead of one and he can control both to not only employ as ranged weapons but also combine them into a sword.
    • His forehead has his own version of the Emerium Beam just like his father's.
    • He can also use the Wide Shot with his arms in an L-pose.
    • His kicks can be set on fire to increase in striking power (thanks to training from Ultraman Leo).
  • And I Must Scream: When Belial takes over his body in Ultra Zero Fight, Zero can only helplessly watch as Belial wrecks havoc and kill his teammates with his body. He manages to free himself from this through Heroic Willpower and his Shining Ultraman Zero transformation.
  • Arch-Enemy: To Ultraman Belial. Ever since Zero defeated the evil Ultra in Ultra Galaxy Legends, the two have been rather fierce foes and Belial will often target Zero in plots of revenge or even in plots that didn't involve Zero once the latter gets involved.
  • Awesome, but Impractical:
    • Shining Ultraman Zero is one of Zero's most powerful forms, capable of controlling time itself the way that Zero wants it, mostly by rewinding it and it comes with the severe drawback of draining his energy greatly and leaving him unable to so much as move afterwards, sometimes it can even take him entire days if not weeks to fully recover from the sheer strain, and his opponents can react to it and escape from a safe distance, thus Zero only uses it in truly dire situations when he has an opening to use it.
    • Ultimate Shining Ultraman Zero is even more impractical, as it has even stronger power than Shining Zero but comes with even bigger drawbacks as when Zero tried to use it against Absolute Tartarus he ran out of energy instantly and got throughouly trounced for his troubles.
  • Badass Boast:
''"I am Zero, Ultraman Zero, the Son of Seven!"
  • His catchphrase also counts as this. Often boasting how he is far ahead of his opposition in power and they got to take his entire lifetime to catch up to him.
  • Battle Boomerang: His Twin Sluggers serve as this, as he can throw them to fight opponents form a distance and then they return to him. He can do a variety of tricks with their paths as well, and they can also be deflected, but even then they'll always go back to him.
  • Berserk Button: Has a few.
    • He does not like seeing bullies or powerful people tormenting others with their strength instead of protecting them.
    • Anyone who treats their "friends" as trash or holds standards for who they can consider that also earn his ire.
    • He does not like being called "foolish".
  • Bifurcated Weapon: A variation. His Zero Twin Sluggers can combine into a large blade.
  • Big Brother Mentor: Takes this role towards other younger Ultras, particularly most of the New Generation Heroes who all look up to him as a big brother thanks to his mentorship, help and advice to them.
  • Boisterous Bruiser: Wastes no time in telling his opponents that he's a strong and powerful warrior before or during fights.
  • Book Dumb: Zero isn't really "dumb" in the classic definition, but he's got a bad case of preferring to do things in the heat of the moment instead of thinking them through much. Ultraman Z voice dramas would even reveal that he skipped the Land of Light's school, causing him to not know basic information such as Neronga's invisibility and causing his student, Ultraman Z, to flunk out on an exam because of Zero's lack of knowledge on topics.
  • Born Winner: He is the son of a very famous Ultra who himself belongs to one of the Land of Light's most respected families and who have great influence as part of the Space Garrison, he has multiple power-ups either from his own person or granted specifically to him.
  • Brilliant, but Lazy: Was this in his youth, Zero had great potential and power but he wasn't one to care about academics or earning them instead wanting to take the power by force without putting in the effort that his predecessors put in, this took a darker turn when it motivated him to almost take the Plasma Spark which resulted in his banishment until Leo beat some discipline into him to make him move past this flaw.
  • Calling Your Attacks: Had a habit of doing so in Ultra Zero Fight. It would be carried on to future appearances and is now a staple of his character.
  • Catchphrase: "You're 20,000 years too early to defeat me!"
  • Character Development: Zero starts out as a cocky and rebellious Ultra who only understands physical strength and nothing else. After his years of training under Ultraman Leo he grows kinder and eventually wiser throughout his following adventures in the franchise. By the time of Ultraman Z he's left most of his older flaws behind and shows far more skill in leadership and understanding what is it like to be an Ultraman, even if he is still for the most part cocky.
  • Character Tics: He tends to wipe his mouth with his thumb before a fight.
  • Chest Blaster: His Zero Twin Shoot attack, which fires a large beam from the Twin Sluggers when they are mounted on his chest. He can shoot a stronger version as Zero Beyond.
  • Containment Clothing: The Techtor Gear was a suit that he wore during his exile, which limited his strength and outright nullified his other Ultraman powers, including flight.
  • Cool Big Bro: Tends to act as this for his teammates and younger Ultras that he assists, with many of them looking up to him and admiring his many deeds.
  • Critical Annoyance: After adopting a human host, he's had to contend with the three-minute rule all Ultras had to face with his color timer blinking whenever his time is running out.
  • Curbstomp Battle:
    • In his debut, he dishes one of these to Belial and his army, disarming him with ease and then blasting him into the magma rivers of the Monster Graveyard right after plowing through the remnants of his 100 Monster Army in minutes.
    • Revenge of Belial shows him easily defeating Belial's Legionoids whenever he confronts them, he also shoots down the Spaceship carrying Darklopses with ease.
    • In Ultraman Saga he deals with a whole army of Legionoids very quickly at the start of the film.
    • Before facing the Four Beast Warriors of Hell in Ultra Zero Fight, Zero has to fight four lower-tier monsters, also revived by Alien Bat Gurashie - Bemular, Gudon, Sadola and Telesdon. Zero wrecks all four of them in under a minute.
  • Dangerous Forbidden Technique:
    • The Shining Star Drive from Shining Zero allows him to reverse time and even create pocket dimensions, but it cost him a lot of energy, which can tire him out for days.
    • His Ultimate Shining Form is even more of this, as just transforming and using a single normal attack is more than enough to almost deplete his energy.
  • Demonic Possession: Suffers this in Ultra Zero Fight when Belial Body Surfs into Zero's body after the latter defeats him as Armored Darkness Belial, trapping Zero within his own body and changing Zero's appearance to match his own. Zero manages to use his Shining form to kick out Belial's spirit.
  • Despair Event Horizon: Falls into this when Belial kills all of his teammates in Ultra Zero Fight using his body as Zero Darkness, but manages to snap out of it and regain his hope in order to protect Moroboshi the Pigmon, who is about to be killed for Belial's amusement, which gives him his Heroic Second Wind to defeat Belial.
  • Dimensional Traveler: Though at first he could only move between worlds with assistance from other Ultras, after obtaining his Ultimate Aegis, Zero is capable of travellign to other worlds freely.
    • He travels to the Reverse Space World in Revenge of Belial and returns back to the World of the Land of Light once he defeats Belial in there.
    • In Ultraman Saga he travels to the universe where the film takes place to combat Hyper Zetton, meeting Ultraman Cosmos and Dyna along the way before returning to his own universe after Hyper Zetton is defeated.
    • In Ultraman Ginga S: The Movie he travels to the World of Spark Dolls to confront Etelgar and rescue the captured Ultras.
    • Ultraman X has him arriving at the World of Ultra Flare to capture Alien Nackle Bandero and his Black King, in the movie he returns in order to help fight the threat of Zaigorg and his minions.
    • In Ultraman Geed he and other Ultras arrived at the World of Side Space where Belial's Crisis Impact and Omega Armageddon took place, after King saved the Universe by merging with it Zero returned to deal with the various threats in it, bonding with human salaryman Reito Igaguri. He left the world once Belial was defeated for good. He returns much later with the Ultimate Force Zero in order to confront the threat of Gillvalis.
    • Ultraman Taiga has him travel to the World of Taiga to assist his cousin by giving the Plasma Zero-let to fight stronger foes before leaving back to the Land of Light.
    • Ultraman Z features him and the titular Ultra chasing the Kaiju Genegarg to the World of Ultra Medals where he ends up temporarily trapped into a black hole, after breaking free and then helping Z and Geed defeat Celebro's Belial Fusion Beasts he leaves for good to resume fighting the threat of the Absolutians.
    • Absolute Conspiracy has him travelling to the World of U40 in order to recruit Ultraman Joneus into the M78 Ultra's cause against Absolute Tartarus.
  • Dimension Lord: As Shining Ultraman Zero one of his powers is to create pocket dimensions in which he can alter the flow of time to either go slower or faster than outside, which can help him when he needs to train someone for months in what would otherwise be a few hours or days.
  • Generation Xerox: In Ultraman Geed he ends up in a similar position to the one his father, Ultraseven, was stuck in himself in Ultraman Leo as his Transformation Trinket ends up damaged, leaving him weaker than he would usually be and forced to take on a mentor role towards a young Ultra. Unlike his father, however, he could at least still transform into his Ultra form during that time.
  • Gold-Colored Superiority: His most powerful forms all have a golden glow to them. Shining Ultimate Zero can manipulate time, Zero Beyond Galaxy Glitter takes the capacities of the Beyond form up to eleven and Ultimate Shining Zero combines the abilities of Ultimate Zero and Shining Zero, though it's also a Dangerous Forbidden Technique.
  • Good Counterpart: To Belial, both were heroic Ultras who grew ambitious and uncaring and very nearly stole the Plasma Spark to empower themselves and were banished from the Land of Light for it. However, eventually Zero was able to learn better and redeemed himself from his actions. Also while Belial surrounds himself with minions but sees them as disposable pawns at best, Zero surrounds himself with many friends he's made through the years and will give his life for them.
  • Guardian of the Multiverse: After the events of Revenge of Belial Zero took on this role following the creation of the Ultimate Force Zero, as he and his teammates patrol the Multiverse looking out for threats to it. This in turn usually leads him to be a guest star in various of the New Generation shows, usually following a criminal from a different universe into the one where the New Gen show takes place in.
  • Finishing Move: Has a bunch depending on the form.
    • In his base form he has the Wide Zero Shot, a beam fired form his chest with his Eye Sluggers empowering it.
    • As Ultimate Zero he can use Ultimate Zero Finale, a charged attack fired with the Ultimate Aegis in a bow-like fashion.
    • As Shining Ultimate Zero he instead gets a stronger version of his Wide Zero Shot.
    • As Zero Beyond he also gets a stronger version of his Zero Shot named Beyond Zero Shot.
  • Forced to Watch: Zero's mind is still there when Belial forcibly fuses with him into Zero Darkness, but he's powerless to prevent his teammates from being killed and descends into the Despair Event Horizon once all of them are killed.
  • Former Teen Rebel: When he was younger, Zero had a rebellious un-lawful streak and preferred to get stronger through simple fighting rather than learning any values of it. It culminated in him trying to take the Plasma Spark in a misguided attempt to become stronger, only to be stopped and arrested by the Ultra Brothers and then sent to be disciplined by Ultraman Leo for years through Training from Hell which ended up helping shape him into a more responsible figure in spite of retaining some rebellious attitudes.
  • Fusion Dance:
    • In Ultraman Saga, Zero fuses with Dyna and Cosmos in order to form Ultraman Saga, as means of being able to stop Hyper Zetton.
    • Ultraman Geed sees him using the New Generation Capsules of Ginga, Victory, Ultraman X and Ultraman Orb to become Zero Beyond.
    • Ultraman Z has a form shown only in supplementary material where he uses the Ultra Medals of Ultraman, Ultraseven and Ultraman Ace to become Gransaberd Zero.
  • Healing Hands: Zero can employ his Ultraman light to purify other living beings of evil influence and energies, such as freeing Mirror Knight from Belial's dark plague.
  • Henshin Hero: Per tradition for Ultras, Zero is this, he usually transforms with the help of human hosts that he meets in his adventures, with his definite host seemingly being Reito Igaguri. A few stage shows depict him instead taking on a human form to walk around, known as Shin Moroboshi.
  • Heroes' Frontier Step: The moment that proved he had truly learned his lesson about power and protecting life is when he temporarily stops his fight with Leo to save a bystander Pigmon that almost got crushed by boulders dropped in their fight, then urging it to get to a safer place. Leo himself even points out that Zero's truly proved himself a hero.
  • Heroic Lineage: Belongs to the family of Father of Ultra and Mother of Ultra, as Seven's son who is the nephew of both aforementioned Ultras and cousin to the famous Ultraman Taro and Ultraman Ace.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Has had a few throughout the years.
    • In Revenge of Belial he keeps up Mirror Knight's shield to block Arch Belial's Deathcium Beam and very nearly dies when his Color Timer runs out, he's luckily resurrected by Ultraman Noa and given power to transform into Ultimate Zero.
    • In Geed he sacrifices himself in the aptly-titled episode 7, "Sacrifice", to protect Reito Igaguri from Kei. He gets better as well.
  • Heroic Willpower: When Belial possesses him and kills almost all of his teammates, Zero's will eventually lets him expulse the spirit of his nemesis from his body and achieve his Shining Ultraman Zero form.
  • Historical Villain Upgrade: In Geed, Kei Fukuide writes novels where Zero is portrayed as a ruthless villain
  • Hot-Blooded: Even after Character Development, Zero remains a hot-headed Ultra who rushes into battle with all due excitement and is not above trash-talking, quiping and calling his attacks.
  • Idiot Hero: Befitting his Shonen hero-like traits, Zero isn't exactly the most throughtful person ever and often tends to suffer some blunders as a result of his recklessness
  • Imposed Handicap Training: Zero was trained by Leo this way, placing a restrictive suit on him while sparring in order to help develop his skills and strength without relying on his powers while simultaneously learning life lessons from his mentor.
  • In-Universe Factoid Failure: Aside from the implication that he didn't attend school, Zero seems to lack knowledges on certain monsters such as Neronga and misinterpreted Sevenger's owner being Leo instead of his crippled (at the time) father. The latter came to bite him when Z failed the entrance exam for Space Garrison because of it.
  • Laser-Guided Amnesia: His first use of Shining Star Drive left him not only exhausted, but unable to remember the events up until that point.
  • Let's Get Dangerous!: His usual Character Tic is a firm indication that Zero's about to stop playing around and is instead going to take the next fight very seriously.
  • Light Is Good: In contrast to his dark archnemesis, Belial, Zero continues the Ultraman's usual theme of representing light and the side of good. All of his most powerful transformations take the light aspect up to eleven.
  • Lightning Bruiser: Like all Ultras, Zero is both fast enough to mow down armies of monsters without breaking a sweat and becomes even faster when flying, and strong enough to handle and outmuscle even mighty foes such as Red King.
  • Loved by All: All the New Generation Ultra Heroes look up to him. Most notable are Ginga, Victory, X, Orb, Geed, Ultrawoman Grigio and The Tri-Squad. He even gets a fanboy desiring to be his apprentice in Ultraman Z.
  • Magnetic Hero: Zero in general is a friend magnet, starting with his rival-turned-friend, GlenFire, then with the other members of the Ultimate Force Zero. Later he becomes friends with Ultraman Dyna and Cosmos, the New Generation Ultras and various other characters such as his third human host, Reito Igaguri and Reito's family.
  • Mentor Occupational Hazard: A non-fatal example in Ultraman Z, he gets sucked inside a black hole at the hands of a Bullton fired at him by Genegarg while he's chasing the latter monster and ends up forced to entrust Ultraman Z with the Ultra Medals and his Z-Riser. He eventually frees himself from this fate by using Shining Star Drive and comes back in the series to assist his pupil against Celebro's Belial Fusion Beasts.
  • Multiform Balance: In the Ultra Zero Fight segment of Ultraman Retsuden, he gains this ability thanks to Dyna's and Cosmos' powers which he gained after their fusion into Ultraman Saga. In addition to his pre-existing power-ups and then some
    • Mighty Glacier: Strong Corona, a combined power of Cosmos' Corona Mode and Dyna's Strong Type. With fiery power from Cosmos Corona Mode and powerful attacks from Dyna Strong Type, it specializes in exerting great force in hand-to-hand combat.
    • Fragile Speedster: Luna Miracle, a combined power of Cosmos' Luna Mode and Dyna's Miracle Type. With a soft heart and energy abilities from Ultraman Cosmos Luna Mode and speed from Ultraman Dyna Miracle Type, it exists for energy attacks, high speed battles and ending conflicts with no bloodshed.
    • Super Mode: Ultimate Zero, which he gained in Revenge of Belial with the power of the Shield of Baradhi; in Ultraman Geed he gains Ultraman Zero Beyond as replacement for most of his lost transformations, which he achieves with the New Generation Capsules (using the power of Ginga, Victory, X and Orb) and combining them with his Ultra Zero Eye.
  • Missing Mom: The identity of his mother is so far unknown with even supplementary materials having no mention of who she is.
  • My Hero, Zero: He's called Ultraman Zero and is one of the most powerful Ultra warriors of all time.
  • Next Tier Power-Up: Zero is probably the Ultraman that plays the trope the straightest out of them all, his base form is weaker than his Ultimate Zero form and then this form is surpassed by both Shining Ultimate Zero and Zero Beyond, which in turn are small potatoes next to Ultimate Shining Zero and Zero Beyond Galaxy Glitter, respectively.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Using Shining Star Drive allows him to bring back his deceased teammates after Zero Darkness (him while possessed by Belial) killed them but he unwittingly resurrected Belial and Jahtar while at it.
  • One-Man Army:
    • In Ultra Galaxy Legends Zero brings down all of the remaining members of Belial's 100 Monster Army that his fellow Ultras hadn't killed yet and then takes down Belial, a One-Man Army himself.
    • In Ultraman Saga Zero plows through a massive army of Legionoids all by himself.
  • The Paragon Always Rebels: He was a powerful and impressive Ultraman since childhood, but this fed his ego and belief in strength and he arrogantly tried to take the Plasma Spark to empower himself, only to be stopped by the Ultra Brothers, arrested and then exiled. However following some Training from Hell courtesy of Ultraman Leo he was able to redeem himself and turned back to the light.
  • Playing with Fire: Has shown a limited usage of fire to boost his attacks, not unlike his mentor, Leo. Also his Garnet Buster in Strong Corona mode is a beam of fire.
  • Pre Ass Kicking One Liner: Either "You're 20,000 years too early to defeat me" or "I won't forgive what you've done" precede him giving a beatdown. In his first appearance it was instead "Zero, Ultraman Zero. The son of Seven!" which he said to Belial before mowing down the remnants of his 100 Monster Army and then Belial himself.
  • Power Limiter: The Techtor Gear he was forced to wear during his Training from Hell at Ultraman Leo's hands served this purpose, restraining most of Zero's power to prevent the young Ultra from trying to rely on his powers and instead fight hand-to-hand. If Zero tries to exert power, the armor tightens further and further, limiting him even more.
  • Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: His speed allows him to throw punches faster than opponents can react to them, allowing him to overwhelm foes with sheer speed.
  • Red Is Heroic: Like all Ultras from the red tribe, he's got red in his color scheme and he's a valiant hero of justice, despite starting out as an immature power-hungry warrior.
  • Reset Button: Shining Star Drive can do this, as it reverses time and Zero can use it to undo certain events that he desires, such as death or even to nullify a black hole and escape it.
  • Secret Legacy: For most of his youth up until the events of Ultra Galaxy Legends, he had no idea that he was the son of Ultraseven, and by extension a family member of Ultraman Taro, Father of Ultra and Mother of Ultra. Ultraman King reveals this to him when Seven calls for Zero's help during his fight in the Monster Graveyard.
  • School Is for Losers: In his rebellious youth and even after, he tends to view school in a negative light and never finished resuming his studies, even after his redemption and return to the Land of Light following his exile. This ended up biting him in the butt as shown in Ultraman Z voice dramas where the titular Z ended up flunking an exam because Zero gave him some uninformed academic help.
  • Shut Up, Hannibal!: In Ultra Zero Fight after Alien Hipporito Jathar manages to get the drop on Zero and petrify Zero's right arm into bronze, the alien began gloating on his superiority and how much more powerful he is than the Ultraman. Zero interrupts Jathar by shoving a bronze fist into the alien's face.
  • So Last Season: His techniques or forms gained in an installment tend to be rendered useless or not quite as effective in a following one.
    • In Revenge of Belial his Sluggers, firey kick and Wide Zero Shot fail to defeat Belial and Zero even loses the Beam-O-War with his finishing move and Belial's Deathcium Burst. Belial even lampshades it.
    • In Ginga S: The Movie his Final Ultimate Zero is shrugged off by Etelgar, who comes out unscathed from it.
    • He is beaten again by Belial but this time in his Ultimate Zero Form during the Crisis Impact before the events of Geed.
  • Spin-Offspring: Zero is the son of the iconic Ultraseven and the main character of his own sub-franchise of movies and series depicting his many adventures.
  • Stock Shōnen Hero: The most pronounced of the Ultras in regards to this, Zero's hot-blooded, somewhat lacking in the intelligence department due to skipping school (though he isn't exactly dumb so much as lazy), has had many rivals that became his friends (such as GlenFire), befriended some foes (Jean-Killer), and also had Character Development allowing him to mature. He also enjoys naming his attacks as he fights.
  • Superior Successor: As powerful as his father is, Zero proved himself stronger and eventually surpasses his old man in terms of heroism and actions, saving the entire Multiverse from various threats. Furthermore, his debut movie has him defeat Ultraman Belial alone when everyone else who fought him could not. And he has two Eye Sluggers instead of one like Seven.
  • Super-Empowering: He used to be on the receiving end of the trope. But starting with the New Generation shows, he instead is now the provider with him giving new abilities and artifacts to the New Generation Ultramen to use or even copies of his own weapons and forms.
  • Super Mode: Ultimate Zero in Ultraman Zero: The Revenge of Belial, Shining Ultraman Zero in Ultra Zero Fight, and Ultraman Zero Beyond in Ultraman Geed. In Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy he combines the first two as Ultimate Shining Ultraman Zero.
  • Super Power Lottery: Zero has quite the amount of abilities, with his repertoir expanding with each new form.
    • In his base form he can fly, produce fire on his limbs for attacks, move faster than eyesight and sound, use his Eye Sluggers as projectiles separately, use a multitude of beams from either his forehead, chest or arms, use his light to purify evil from other people and on top of that can empower others or possess them.
    • As Ultimate Zero he retains all previous abilities but can open dimensional portals, slice planets with one strike, charge light projectiles that can obliterate almost anything, employ a sword-like hand attack, create shields, intrude in waves to communicate with people even between dimensions.
    • As Shining Zero he can stop time, reverse it, create pocket dimensions where time flows slower, evaporate spirits and even escape from black holes.
    • As Zero Beyond his abilities are amplified and gains new ones such as the Balkley Chorus, which uses his Sluggers to produce soundwaves strong enough to blast opponents apart, can modify it to simply produce loud noises that harmlessly move beings around, can also produce forcefields to trap opponents in and even combines his Balkley Chorus and Sluggers in one overwhelming attack.
  • Super-Strength: Naturally as an Ultra this ability is one of his common ones, he has enough strength to lift heavier beings than himself with ease and toss them into the air. Even when he's only 5 meters tall and far weaker as a result of a botched attempt at trying to cooperate with his then human host, Nozomu Taiga at transforming, he's still able to lift the 30,000 ton Gomess in Ultraman Saga.
  • Symbiotic Possession: Like most other Ultras, Zero does this with humans that he views as being brave and selfless. Though he has done this a total of three times throughout the franchise so far.
  • Talking Your Way Out: In Revenge of Belial during his first encounter with GlenFire Zero has no interest in fighting the fire warrior due to seeking out the Shield of Baradhi, but GlenFire won't listen to a "wimp" and challenges Zero to a fight, which Zero only reluctantly complies to. After taking a beating from GlenFire, Zero decides he's had enough and completely foregoes this option.
  • This Is Unforgivable!: He often says a variation of this to Belial when he's reached his Rage Breaking Point with the actions of the evil Ultra.
"I won't forgive what you've done!"
  • Time Master: Shining Ultraman Zero has the ability to rewind time for everything in the local vicinity or form pocket dimensions where time moves faster than normal.
  • Training from Hell: After his failed attempt at taking the Plasma Spark, he was put under the mentorship of Ultraman Leo, being subjected to harsh training with a power-restraining armor to teach him discipline and true strength. He himself had his chance of putting Ginga and Victory through this in Ginga S: The Movie inside of a pocket dimension he made as Shining Ultimate Zero.
  • Transformation Trinket: Like his father before him, his own device takes the form of glasses called the Ultra Zero Eye. His hosts transform with them by placing them on their face.
  • Tsundere: Towards Ultraman Z, his self-proclaimed pupil, Zero will not usually acknowledge or even treat him as his student but shows that he does care about the younger Ultra and deep down does want to somewhat mentor the Ultra, even getting jealous when Mebius jokingly offers to take Z under his tutelage when the former sees Zero reject Z.
  • The Worf Barrage: In Ginga S: The Movie, his Ultimate Aegis' final attack is shrugged off by Etelgar, with the demoniac villain merely losing his scarf but otherwise coming out unscathed from it.
  • The Worf Effect: Often is subjected to this.
    • In Ultra Galaxy Legends he is overwhelmed (along with his fellow Ultras and ZAP Spacy) by Belyudra and requires a boost from the Plasma Spark to finish off the colossal kaiju fusion.
    • He is soundly overwhelmed by both Kaiser Belial and Arch Belial in Revenge of Belial, and in fact is nearly killed by the latter draining his life-force.
    • Ultraman Saga has him getting defeated by Imago Hyper Zetton and nearly killed many times over by the Zetton mutant's power.
    • Ultraman Geed has the resurrected Belial defeat him even in his Ultimate Zero form, which also damages his Zero Bracelet and leaves him severely weakened for the remainder of the series until Hikari fixes his device.
  • Worf Had the Flu: For most of Ultraman Geed he has a less impressive showing than usual, mainly owed to him being severely weakened after his loss against Belial in the Crisis Impact that left his Zero Bracelet heavily damaged.
  • Years Too Early: His catchphrase has him telling his opponents that they're 20,000 years off the mark to fight/defeat him.

    Mirror Knight 

Mirror Knight

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mirrorknight.png
A warrior from the Planet of Mirrors (a giant cosmic mirror that contains a whole world in it) long tasked with defending the allied world of Esmeralda. He was captured and enslaved by Belial when the dark Ultra warrior invaded his universe and looted Esmeralda but after Zero and his allies freed him, he has become a steadfast ally of the Ultraman.
  • Attack Reflector: A great deal of his abilities work this way.
  • Barrier Warrior: His Mirror Dome allows him to create reflective force fields around his targets.
  • Cross Attack: His strongest attack is named "Silver Cross" and it fires a cross-shaped energy attack from both his hands.
  • Expy: Based on a previous hero created by Tsuburaya Productions called Mirrorman.
  • Finishing Move: His is the Silver Cross, a giant cross-shaped bolt of light.
  • Hand Blast: Can perform numerous of these.
  • Master of Illusion: Can create illusory reflections.
  • Non-Human Humanoid Hybrid: His father was a denizen of the Planet of Mirrors and his mother was from the planet Esmeralda.
  • Superpowered Evil Side: Is partially brought under Belial's control after being defeated by him. Only the leaders of the Planet of Mirrors sealing him under their world's ocean kept him from turning wholly evil.

A sentient robot able to transform into a spaceship known as the Jean-Bird. He served as the personal transport of the royal family of the planet Esmeralda, but when Belial devastated the planet, he was taksed with bringing the princess Emerana to safety, which led to him joining forces with Zero to fight Belial and later protect the whole multiverse as he does these days.

A fiery (both literally and figuratively) alien who originally worked with a gang of space pirates that Zero and his allies encountered while traversing the universe in search of a way to defeat Ultraman Belial. He initially saw Zero as a rival, but after joining forces with him to fight Belial, he became a member of the Ultimate Force Zero.

The last introduced member of the Ultimate Force Zero, having debuted in Killer the Beatstar. Jean-Nine was born as Jean-Killer, created by the evil supercomputer Beatstar from the data of Jean-Bot for the purpose of destroying him. After Beatstar was destroyed, Jean-Killer was freed from his programming and rechristened Jean-Nine, younger brother of Jean-Bot and newest member of Ultraman Zero's team.


  • Arm Cannon: Possess two on both of his arms.
  • Chest Blaster: Can fire Homing Lasers from his chest.
  • Enemy Scan: Jean-Killer performs one for Zero, Mirror Knight, and Glen Fire respectively upon first encountering them.
  • Evil Knockoff: Jean-Bot explains that Jean-Nine was created in his image using some of his own A.I.
  • Expy: Based on a secondary hero in Jumborg Ace called Jumborg 9, with Jean-Killer being named after a monster from the same series called Jum Killer.
  • Eye Beams: Can fire out red lasers from his eyes.
  • Heel–Face Turn: He was originally constructed for the purpose of destroying Jean-Bot by Beatstar, but after learning the power of free will, he joined the Ultimate Force Zero and was given the new name of Jean-Nine.
  • Humongous Mecha: Much like his brother, although he can't transform.
  • Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Jean-Killer. Lampshaded by Mirror Knight, who suggested giving him a new name because of this once he joins their team.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Had red eyes as Jean-Killer.
  • Rocket Punch: Just like Jean-Bot.
  • Shock and Awe: Can shoot paralyzing lightning from his hands.
  • You Are Number 6: Princess Emerana rechristened him Jean-Nine because he was the ninth of the group of heroes who defeated Beatstar (the Ultimate Force Zero, Rei, Captain Hyuuga, Gomora, and Litra).

    Moroboshi 

Moroboshi

A Pigmon who serves as the mascot of the Ultimate Force Zero. The team first encountered him in Ultra Zero Fight, where it was one of several monsters resurrected by the Alien Bat Gurashie, but unlike the others, remained a friendly and peaceful creature.
See Ultraman TV Series

  • Meaningful Name: Named after Dan Moroboshi, the human form of Zero's father.
  • Mythology Gag: This isn't the first time Pigmon's been resurrected by the villains alonside other monsters, only to still be on the side of good and betray them. Just ask Geronimon.
  • Team Pet: Of the Ultimate Force Zero.
  • You Shall Not Pass!: Despite its small size, Pigmon attempts to do this by preventing Belial-possessed Zero and the Darkness Five from marching forward. This caused Zero to have a Heroic Second Wind and eventually gaining his Golden Super Mode to exorcise Belial and finally reviving his friends.
