=== Nexus Junis with dunamist Jun Himeya (episode 1-24) ===
In the first half of the series, Nexus bonds with Jun Himeya, a former cameraman whose traumatized by his inability to save a girl from his past. Despite Komon's good relationship with Himeya, TLT views him as a threat regardless of Ultraman's constant attempts in rescuing them. The reveal of Komon's girlfriend, Riko Saida as Dark Faust and her immediate sacrifice nearly sent him into despair until Himeya and Nagi managed to bring him to his senses. Sometime later, former Night Raider member Shinya Mizorogi returned as he was revealed to be Dark Mephisto and attempted to persuade his former lover Nagi to his side. While taking refuge in a photographer's home, Himeya was captured by TLT, who proceed to dissect him in hopes of learning the secret of Ultraman's power. His brief death allows him to escape the facility but the Illustrator warned him that another transformation would result in his death. Not long after, Mizorogi utilized the help of Space Beast Kutuura to capture Nexus and imprison him in the Land of the Dead by using his former comrade Sakuta as a hostage. The Night Raider pursue to the same dimension, only to discover the deceased Ultraman tied and his energies absorbed for Mizorogi to harvest it. As a result of Himeya's renewed courage, Nexus was partially revived into the fight while Night Raiders used the last bit of Ultimate Vanisher in replenishing his energy. The battle between two giants resulted in a massive explosion that seemingly claimed their lives. Himeya confronts Komon for the last time to convey his message; the light shall be passed to someone else.
Kazuki Komon has just overtaken the work of the SAR team when recruited into the TLT. He just knew that during this time the earth is often attacked by SB, even the existence of SB and the existence of TLT itself is very secret. On the way, he found the bus parked empty. Passengers disappeared because of SB, Komon was almost killed if only a silver giant did not help him. Komon was amazed. Meanwhile, Nagi Saijyou from the NR team in charge of eradicating SB in a tunnel meets the figure of a mysterious man. She thought it was just her faulty eyesight but she turned out to meet the man again when she came face-to-face with SB one afternoon.


Komon himself trained to be a formidable NR agent under Shiori Hiraki's help until finally he went on a mission. Before NR succeeded in destroying the giant SB, came the giant who first confronted him. The giant is the giant who helped Komon yesterday, so Komon thinks the giant is on their side. But NR argues otherwise, they shoot the giant who later named Ultraman it. SB has not been defeated while Ultraman was wounded and disappeared, and NR took the initiative to find them. Nagi and Komon who are in charge of searching Ultraman while others are looking for SB. Nagi and Komon find the man with the same wound as Ultraman. The same man who she met before. Nagi intends to kill the man but the man calls an UFO and run away. Previously, Komon had touched the UFO, when he was stunned, he saw the man's past. He saw a battlefield, and a girl called out a name and when she met the man she called, the girl was killed when she intended to approach him.
Starting on episode 26, the light of Nexus was inherited by Ren Senjyu, the child of Prometheus Project who runs from the facility and started his life as a worker in the carnival. Despite his near inhuman feat, Ren has a very short life expectancy and wished to spend his final days surrounded by smiles. In the same way as his predecessor Himeya, Ren becomes fast friends with Komon and develops a relationship with Mizuo, a Memory Police who was sent to spy on him. Shinya Mizorogi was revealed to have survived his battle with Nexus and quickly captured by TLT to investigate his abilities as Dark Mephisto. While attempting to escape, Memory Police officer Hiroyuki Misawa was revealed to be the next victim and becomes Dark Mephisto Zwei, intending to replace Mizorogi. During his fight with Nexus, Mizorogi managed to becomes Mephisto once more and rescue his former adversary by claiming his own life in the process. With his dying breath, Mizorogi reveals that the Night Raiders had a traitor within their rank. As stronger Space Beasts keep emerging one after another, Ren's body took a huge toll with his life running short. The fight against Ezmael was his last as Ren survived due to the Raphael drug's intervention but the light of Nexus left him for another candidate.


Nagi lies to Captain Eisuke Wakura that he meets Ultraman in a human figure, while Komon searches for his identity on the internet and finds the same photographs and names in his memory, his a photographer named Jun Himeya. Komon went to the newspaper office that contains the photo but Himeya was no longer working there but he met someone who knew Himeya named Megumi Sakuta. Himeya's pathetic past is told by Sakuta. Himeya lost a girl named Sera. Komon is convinced that Himeya is not a bad person as Nagi thinks, but still they continue to disagree. On the other hand, comes Jizou Negoro, a long-time friend of the journalist Himeya, who insists on bringing Himeya to work again and investigate his missing. His investigation led him to engage with the TLT and make him pursued by the MP.
In the final episode, Nagi was chosen as the new holder of light. Mizorogi's words came true as the Unknown Hand, the perpetrator behind all Space Beast attacks reveals himself among the Night Raider members as he assaulted them and gloats of how the past events were all for the sake of having Nagi inherit Nexus' light and revive himself. By tricking Nagi into transforming, the Unknown absorbed her into Lethe as he resurrected in the form of Dark Zagi to attack the city. Komon managed to save Nagi from the darkness as his actions allow him to inherit the light. Transforming into Nexus, Komon used up the forms of his predecessors and their memories until encouragement by the public allows him to evolve into Nexus' long lost form; Ultraman Noa. With his full power, the silver giant expels Zagi to space and put and end to his doppelganger. A year later, the Space Beast threat has become public knowledge, with TLT has expended their forces even further.

Also told that Komon has a lover named Riko Saida, they often dating at the zoo. Komon often miss Riko while working especially if he's been disagreeing with Nagi. The NR team again has to deal with SB this time at a factory, Himeya also catches up with them but instead sees Ultraman who claims to be a shadow of himself, and introduces himself as Faust. Himeya changed as Nexus and fight Faust but Faust disappeared and said he just testing him. At the same time, the NRs with their own powers are able to finish off a giant SB. Faust increasingly appeared, and Riko began to feel something strange with her body. Komon was surprised to see that one day Riko was wounded in the woods and carried Nagi's relics. In addition, the figure of the person who claimed to be the cruel game maker also appeared. He was named Mizorogi Shinya. Komon wondered why his colleagues at NR reacted strangely to the name, especially Nagi.

MP intends to erase Riko's memory for allegedly seeing the SB, but Riko disappears from the hospital. Shuto who is looking for him to find the shocking fact that Riko's family including the list of victims killed by SB. Meanwhile, Komon who worries about Riko goes to her apartment and is surprised to see Riko's room full of horrible pictures, he also meets Faust and again pinned Himeya. For the first time Komon sees Himeya changing. Apparently Riko was the dunamist of Faust, and she was resurrected by Mizorogi. Komon accidentally entered in darkfield, and he who can not stand to see Nexus lose shot Faust. Mizorogi had told SB to kill Komon but Faust was injured protecting him. Riko died in Komon's arms. Komon was then shocked and used by Mizorogi to control his weak heart. Nagi also influenced Komon to hate SB who killed Riko to make him stronger. Himeya then recounts her bitter past experiences and how she got the power of light to help the Komon rise from the sadness. Unable to bear with all that, Komon decided to better erase his memory. He was saved by Negoro when the MP met him, Negoro who originally intended to extract info about Himeya and the TLT even helped Komon realize that it is wrong. Again Mizorogi appears and creates Riko in Komon's mind. At that precarious moment, Himeya came back and fought with Mizorogi who turned into Dark Mephisto. Komon did not become captivated by darkness. He who remembers Himeya's advice has finally decided to continue fighting for the likes of Riko.

Komon survived from Mizorogi, but Nagi did not return to the base. Komon also had the opportunity to ask Captain Wakura about the relationship between Nagi and Mizorogi. Formerly, Mizorogi was vice-captain of the NR. Nagi greatly idolizes the famous Mizorogi in NR in order to learn from him how to defeat SB. Mizorogi also teaches a variety of special intensive exercises and in line with the growing feelings of love starting between the two. Nagi who hates SB is of course felt betrayed to see the person he loved then sided with the darkness (SB). Apparently at the same time, Mizorogi is planning to invite Nagi to his side. Komon and Captain Wakura thankfully came in not too late, and so did Himeya. This is the first time Captain Wakura knows Himeya is Ultraman. Mizorogi called SB to fight Nexus. Nagi who consciously shot Mizorogi and the darkfield disappeared.

Himeya who was injured then again must immediately fight with the SB that appears in the mountains. Nagi, Captain Wakura, and Komon directly join Shiori and Ishibori who are already alerted there. This time the opposed SB has the ability to disappear, it takes 3 episodes to defeat him. The unconscious Himeya was rescued by Horokusa and two friends who happened to be busy photographing nearby. Horokusa who is still an amateur photographer recognizes and idolizes Himeya. When SB rages back, he thought Himeya fainted while taking a picture. Horokusa took the initiative to replace him, he managed to take a lot of pictures but killed SB eaten in front of his friends. When the morning before and Nexus managed to defeat SB tsb, Negoro who is looking for Himeya take Horokusa camera from his friend. Himeya who listened to their conversation realized that Horokusa's actions were like him when he wanted to capture the moment of war, but he had forgotten the reason because his guilt over Sera's death was too great. While Negoro publishes it in newspapers and meets with UFO fan clubs that help him hide from the pursuit of MP, Himeya is severely wounded by the TLT under orders Yoichiru Matsunaga.

Himeya's body was taken to the experimental room just like Komon used to undergo a medical test. Yoichiru intends to find out the origin of Ultraman's power and how to get it to strengthen the TLT weapon. Himeya's heart had stopped beating before Yu knew how to revive it. At that moment, Himeya runs away and meets Komon in the hallway. Yu warns Himeya that if he continues to fight in that condition, he will be killed. Himeya ignores Yu's warnings and makes Komon anxious. Himeya himself ran away until he met Sakuta in a park where they usually met. On the other hand, Mizorogis again do evil deeds. He intends to open a portal of darkness that connects the Land of Death with the earth to bring more SB, but it takes the energy of light belonging to Nexus to be changed in the dark energy in a ritual. Seeing Sakuta who is very concerned about Himeya, Mizorogi keeps Himeya from Sakuta by summoning SB and when Himeya goes that he kidnaps Sakuta.

NR is not left behind, with information from Yu and analysis from Ishibori, they find the point where the portal will be opened. In fact, Negoro with his journalist instincts also headed there. He almost killed SB if Himeya did not help him. Himeya who realizes his body is on the verge of border does not want to see again to see the people closest to him, like Sakuta and Negoro, were killed. He also took the risk and it's true he was not strong again facing the SB that Mizorogi prepared in the land of death. As Strike Chester arrives, NR sees the helpless Nexus crucified on a rock where the death ritual will begin. They also face SB, and with a new weapon named Ultimate Vanisher obtained from the experimental results of Himeya's body, NR was able to destroy the SB page. However, they were unable to fight Mizorogi any more because he held Sakuta hostage. Himeya who met Sera in her unconscious made him able to rise. However, he again became a monster of Mephisto. Yu ordered the Komon to shoot right at the Nexus energy core with the light that once turned Himeya back on. Although initially hesitant, Komon did so. Nexus is now able to keep up with Mephisto. Seeing Mephisto difficult to conquer, Nexus launched a suicide attack and exploded together. All who see it can only startled. Komon cried, could not believe his friend was gone. Himeya pops up briefly as a ghost in front of Komon and leaves a message that keeps always ringing in his head. The message is "Hikari wa Kizuna ...".

After the big battle, NR was interrogated one by one by the highest TLT-Japan board on Ultraman and Himeya Jun's identity and the reason they always helped him. While continuing to try to interpret Himeya's message, Komon and his friends fight back against SB. Turns out Ultimate Vanisher can not be used anymore. Yu tells Yuichiro if it's because someone has just hacked their database and deleted the Himeya file. NR is overwhelmed with surprise by the appearance of the blue Nexus. Yu tells them that it's no longer Himeya.

=== Nexus Junis Blue with dunamist Ren Senjyu (episode 26-36) ===
Ren Senjyu is a hyperactive young man who works part-time in a playground. Cheerful, friendly with small children, and very smart. He has a supernatural ability which lets him see the beast incident from the previous night, just by touching the asphalt. He sees the action of MP who were erasing the memories of people, specifically the actions of agent Mizuo Nonomiya. Mizuo herself was ordered to spy on Ren by Yoichiro, but they fall in love. Meanwhile, Ren realizes that all this time he was being photographed by a mysterious figure. Ren meets with Ultraman as soon as Himeya dies, and then appears in front of Komon and his friends as the new Ultraman. While protecting Chester, Nexus is injured on the right shoulder. Komon thinking Himeya is still alive goes to look for him. He sees Ren running fast from the area of the fallen of Ultraman. Komon follows Ren to his house. However, he was ambushed by Ren, who thinks Komon is the mysterious figure who had been watching him. Suddenly Ren faints, Komon sees the same wound as the Nexus and he realizes that Ren is the new Nexus dunamist. Komon treats Ren's wound and asks Harisu, Ren's boss for permission not to work, by claiming to be his cousin. Komon and Ren then became close. The curious Komon searches for Ren's origin through the network at TLT and learns that Ren is the child of Prometheus Project (PP), the same as Illustrator. Ren's life is colorful, he's always teasing Mizuo, becomes a clown in the playground, plays with Komon during his free time, and jokes with Ojiro, his fellow part-timer. The four of them eventually have dinner together. In addition, with his ESP he is able to communicate with Yuu who was also a good college. Behind his cheerful nature, Ren is dying. He was diagnosed with a kind of illness due to a genetic flaw that should not affect the children of PP and can only survive with a special drug called Raphael. Feeling confined by the academy rules that accommodate the children of PP, not having seen the outside world and his time running out, Ren flees to Japan. That's what kept him under surveillance by the TLT from the start.

In addition, it turns out Mizorogi managed to escape the Land of death injured but alive after his battle against Himeya. During this time, with no memory about himself or his past, he keeps himself hidden until the one day he rescues, Riko the little girl whose parents had been killed by him. After being captured by TLT he regains his memory and with a deep sense of remorse, Mizorogi remembers that he was like a doll of great strength, he was the same as Riko. Mizorogi escapes before his body could be used for research like Himeya, he escapes with Mizuo as his hostage so now MP is also chasing him, one of which is agent Misawa. Though held captive, Mizuo sympathizes with Mizorogi and wants to hear his story. When they meet Komon and Nagi who want to save her, she instead protects Mizorogi. However, Mizorogi's is shot by Misawa who is now apparently capable of turning into Mephisto (Zwei) after Mizorogi lost his power when his dunamist moved. Ren also appears because he is worried about Mizuo, but he is pressed by Mephisto. Mizorogi filled with regret, not wanting want to die in vain as a criminal regained the power of light and changed once again into Mephisto, this time to help the Nexus holding Zwei so Nexus can destroy him. A deeply wounded Mizorogi informs Nagi that the person who actually controlled him (Unknown Hand) was inside the TLT but did not know who exactly. Succumbing to his wounds he dies peacefully in Nagi's arms after she finally forgives him.

The story progresses fast. Junis Blue's first appearance marked a change in the new Nexus form due to the change of dunamist from Himeya to Ren, and followed by the emergence of new and increasingly more powerful opponents. Ren has trouble creating a Metafield due other forces that turning it into a darkfield and increase the strength of SB. Even the SB that was fought was an SB which had been destroyed by Himeya and NR before. In addition, a large hole of darkness also heals the SB wound pinned by Chester and Nexus. Meanwhile, Unknown Hand infiltrates the secret area located at the base of the base retreating after base defenses activate. In the midst of such a precarious situation, an agent from TLT USA, Sara Mizuhara, along with her partner professor Kaimoto arrive at the base. From her talks with the highest council of TLT, she reveals that five years prior in Shinjuku, the first Ultraman appeared and fought against the first SB causing the death of 640 people. During this time, people's memory of the incident had been removed using Lethe, an extraterrestrial technology that fell to earth 20 years ago in Colorado (the same meteor as UFO fan clubs told Negoro). People's memory are stored in the Sea of Forgetfulness, stored in the forbidden area. Meanwhile, NR curious about the arrival of Sara, and assisted by computer-savvy Ishibori, discover the a secret file about the Shinjuku battle 5 years prior. They were also surprised because they themselves have never remembered the incident. Out of protest, Captain Wakura begged Sara to explain the reasons behind the memory wipe. Sara then goes home to the United States, and Kaimoto stays at TLT Japan to watch for Ren.

An SB appears in a city where humans can watch it. The city becomes plagued by panic and confusion, the TLT and MP work hard to control the situation. Ultraman and NR appear forcing the SB to retreat. Ren injured during the battle is captured by TLT after they realize he is the new Ultraman and just like Himeya, Ren is kidnapped and to be examined to make Ultimate Vanisher again. Mizuo tells Komon who immediately appeals to all his colleagues in NR to rescue Ren. They managed to escape with Ren after sabotaging the TLT. The battles became harder, Ren's body quickly reaches the limit of his endurance. He who feels already on the verge of death, and is determined to spend the rest of his life by fighting as Ultraman. Komon then tells Ren about the previous dunamist, he does not want Ren to suffer the same fate and die like Himeya. The SB resumes his attack, this time is a combination of all the SB's before. At this time, Yuu is also worried about Ren's condition and through Komon's Pulse Breaker tells him that Raphael has been brought over by Prof. Kaimoto. However, Ren feels he can not waste time going to the hospital first, he greet Mizuo for the last time and goes to fight all out. Ren wins but is dying, he is saved by Raphael's drug intervention. The Light leaves Ren, and the Dunamist moves once again.

=== Ultraman Noa with dunamist Kazuki Komon (episode 37) ===
The story ends in episode 37, with the appearance of Dark Zagi ever mentioned by Mizorogi in the TLT. His Dunamist turned out to be Ishibori, his past being expressed here. In addition, it is not explained further why Nagi suddenly acquired the evoltruster. Then because his emotions were hooked by Ishibori who claimed to kill his parents and only made the Mizorogi as a tool, Nagi turned into Ultraman inside the weakened Lethe area so that his power was immediately absorbed by Ishibori to transform into Dark Zagi. Dark Zagi then rampaged in the city while chased by Captain Wakura alone with Chrome Chester, while his other men Shiori did not move after being shot Ishibori and Komon helped Nagi. Finally Komon takes over the dunamist, feels he has successfully interpreted Himeya's heritage words, and transforms into Ultraman Noa to defeat Zagi. This series leaves a hanging end because it turns out after Zagi die too SB is still emerging. But this time the TLT confronted them without any further buzz from the public, followed by a closing narration by Komon.

He is called an illustrator because of the fact that he first wrote to the ability as a contactee and initially wrote a forecasted future with illustration. Until the last episode, except for the recollection scene at the facility of Promete's facility, there were no scenes from the command room, and when we were communicating with others, they projected themselves as a stereoscopic image. Third Dunamisuto thing Chihiro Chiki is a child of the same promete, the original aspiration was an avian scholar. From mercy it is called "superior", and when he was in the dormitory of the facility he stayed in the same room for about a month. As the "proof of spending time" the shell of Takaragai she received with mercy, she keeps holding it even after entering the TLT. This is a gifted mother who went out to see the ocean without a permission when he was a student, handed it back to Kichirasawa who had predicted destiny not to reach the ocean, that he reached the sea, That is, "proof that fate and the future can be changed". Sometimes after contact becomes an adaptor, they make a contact by telepathy. He have abandoned his personal affairs because of his duties and show some sacrifice and unnecessary risks in order to develop anti-bead antibodies. However, after the mercy became Dunamisuto change begins to take place, while taking the preparedness of mercy, they begin to think about that person and a part that can not be ruthlessly devoted. By doing so, they instructed the orphan who knew that mercy was a child of Promete, told the information other than short-lived information, with cold expression and attitude to Matsunaga who carried out experiments to mercy, and pursued a night raiders who participated in mercy saving Matsunaga trying to give Matsunaga trying to defend her mentally in a form that advocates saying "I should treat it as a force for vs. Beast now rather than restraining", afterwards he raised his voice when he killed Beast. Began to dew the feelings. When he learned that Raphael was completed, he will stop battle in mercy and tell you to receive treatment by Rafael, but pity puts priority on defeating Ismael. Sending a telepathy, "Honor the light", to the mother who fell into a dilemma, he let her upset. Final Episode tried to stop Ishigori's dark jaggie who broke into Late but tried to fail. After seeing the collapse of Lethe, when reaching the night raider command room with the exhausted body, he said, "If Ultraman wins, it may be able to change fate," and watched the dark fighting nexus with Matsunaga.

Immediately afterwards he detained a mother who was found to have a short life expectancy, and carried out a human experiment to him. For all of the Night Raider demanding to stop the experiment, they declared that "Dunamist is only a container of light" and solved the usefulness of using Ultraman's light as a weapon. However, the behavior was bought by the surrounding antipathy, the mercy was released by the night raider who caused the rebellion, and it ended with abandoning pursuit of the night raider by the lateral spear of Yoshitsurazawa.

History

Ultraman Nexus was part of Tsuburaya Productions' Ultra N Project, an experiment in 2004 to re-invent Ultraman for a new generation of fans. Prior to this, however, Tsuburaya had begun a project called Ultra Collaboration 2 at the end of 2003, which involved a brand new radio-adaptation of Ultra Q called The Ultra Q Club. The project was also due to include a new TV series called Ultraman Noa in early 2004, which is presumably what Ultraman Nexus evolved into.[original research?] Following the success of the new radio show, Tsuburaya forged ahead with a brand new season, Ultra Q: Dark Fantasy on April 6, 2004, a show which attracted top-rung directors such as Shusuke Kaneko (popular with fans for his work on the Gamera series and Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack).

The first stage of the Ultra N Project was entitled Noa: Nostalgia. The project mascot, Ultraman Noa, was a rather radical change design - an all-silver Ultraman with protruding wings on its back. Ultraman Noa was mainly used for live stage shows and merchandising. The second stage of the project was Next: Evolution. This saw the creation of a new theatrical film, ULTRAMAN. The final stage was Nexus: Trinity - the piece that ties the entire project together. Unlike the previous series Ultraman Cosmos, which was strictly aimed at young children, Ultraman Nexus was the first Ultraman TV series specifically aimed at adults. The show abandons the traditional monster-of-the-week stories in order to be replaced with longer character-based story arcs. Tsuburaya Productions had intended the show to be run during prime time, but the CBC network gave the show a 7:30 AM Saturday morning slot once Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon ended its 49-episode run. The TV series received weak ratings which were attributed to the change in style and not being able to have the target demographic tune in, resulting in the series being cut short from around 50 episodes down to 37.

Three months after its initial run, it was re-run in a new time slot. This time the show aired at 2:30 AM on Tuesday mornings and the ratings met the expectations that were set for the Ultra N Project. Following the ULTRAMAN movie, Tsuburaya ran a teaser trailer for Ultraman 2 Requiem. Due to the performance of Ultraman Nexus, the film was canceled, and Tsuburaya moved ahead with a theatrical version of the then-current television series, Ultraman Mebius.

Story

The TLT is a covert international anti-monster unit established secretly to combat Space Beasts, mysterious monsters that are out to attack humans in the year 2009. One of the TLT's new recruits, Komon Kazuki, is attacked by one of them prior to reporting for duty. However, he is saved by a silver giant that he names "Ultraman". What no one knows is that the silver giant is an Ultraman—to be precise, Ultraman Nexus, ready to fight the Space Beasts to save the Earth.[3]

Nexus Junis with dunamist Jun Himeya (episode 1-24)

Kazuki Komon has just overtaken the work of the SAR team when recruited into the TLT. He just knew that during this time the earth is often attacked by SB, even the existence of SB and the existence of TLT itself is very secret. On the way, he found the bus parked empty. Passengers disappeared because of SB, Komon was almost killed if only a silver giant did not help him. Komon was amazed. Meanwhile, Nagi Saijyou from the NR team in charge of eradicating SB in a tunnel meets the figure of a mysterious man. She thought it was just her faulty eyesight but she turned out to meet the man again when she came face-to-face with SB one afternoon.

Komon himself trained to be a formidable NR agent under Shiori Hiraki's help until finally he went on a mission. Before NR succeeded in destroying the giant SB, came the giant who first confronted him. The giant is the giant who helped Komon yesterday, so Komon thinks the giant is on their side. But NR argues otherwise, they shoot the giant who later named Ultraman it. SB has not been defeated while Ultraman was wounded and disappeared, and NR took the initiative to find them. Nagi and Komon who are in charge of searching Ultraman while others are looking for SB. Nagi and Komon find the man with the same wound as Ultraman. The same man who she met before. Nagi intends to kill the man but the man calls an UFO and run away. Previously, Komon had touched the UFO, when he was stunned, he saw the man's past. He saw a battlefield, and a girl called out a name and when she met the man she called, the girl was killed when she intended to approach him.

Nagi lies to Captain Eisuke Wakura that he meets Ultraman in a human figure, while Komon searches for his identity on the internet and finds the same photographs and names in his memory, his a photographer named Jun Himeya. Komon went to the newspaper office that contains the photo but Himeya was no longer working there but he met someone who knew Himeya named Megumi Sakuta. Himeya's pathetic past is told by Sakuta. Himeya lost a girl named Sera. Komon is convinced that Himeya is not a bad person as Nagi thinks, but still they continue to disagree. On the other hand, comes Jizou Negoro, a long-time friend of the journalist Himeya, who insists on bringing Himeya to work again and investigate his missing. His investigation led him to engage with the TLT and make him pursued by the MP.

Also told that Komon has a lover named Riko Saida, they often dating at the zoo. Komon often miss Riko while working especially if he's been disagreeing with Nagi. The NR team again has to deal with SB this time at a factory, Himeya also catches up with them but instead sees Ultraman who claims to be a shadow of himself, and introduces himself as Faust. Himeya changed as Nexus and fight Faust but Faust disappeared and said he just testing him. At the same time, the NRs with their own powers are able to finish off a giant SB. Faust increasingly appeared, and Riko began to feel something strange with her body. Komon was surprised to see that one day Riko was wounded in the woods and carried Nagi's relics. In addition, the figure of the person who claimed to be the cruel game maker also appeared. He was named Mizorogi Shinya. Komon wondered why his colleagues at NR reacted strangely to the name, especially Nagi.

MP intends to erase Riko's memory for allegedly seeing the SB, but Riko disappears from the hospital. Shuto who is looking for him to find the shocking fact that Riko's family including the list of victims killed by SB. Meanwhile, Komon who worries about Riko goes to her apartment and is surprised to see Riko's room full of horrible pictures, he also meets Faust and again pinned Himeya. For the first time Komon sees Himeya changing. Apparently Riko was the dunamist of Faust, and she was resurrected by Mizorogi. Komon accidentally entered in darkfield, and he who can not stand to see Nexus lose shot Faust. Mizorogi had told SB to kill Komon but Faust was injured protecting him. Riko died in Komon's arms. Komon was then shocked and used by Mizorogi to control his weak heart. Nagi also influenced Komon to hate SB who killed Riko to make him stronger. Himeya then recounts her bitter past experiences and how she got the power of light to help the Komon rise from the sadness. Unable to bear with all that, Komon decided to better erase his memory. He was saved by Negoro when the MP met him, Negoro who originally intended to extract info about Himeya and the TLT even helped Komon realize that it is wrong. Again Mizorogi appears and creates Riko in Komon's mind. At that precarious moment, Himeya came back and fought with Mizorogi who turned into Dark Mephisto. Komon did not become captivated by darkness. He who remembers Himeya's advice has finally decided to continue fighting for the likes of Riko.

Komon survived from Mizorogi, but Nagi did not return to the base. Komon also had the opportunity to ask Captain Wakura about the relationship between Nagi and Mizorogi. Formerly, Mizorogi was vice-captain of the NR. Nagi greatly idolizes the famous Mizorogi in NR in order to learn from him how to defeat SB. Mizorogi also teaches a variety of special intensive exercises and in line with the growing feelings of love starting between the two. Nagi who hates SB is of course felt betrayed to see the person he loved then sided with the darkness (SB). Apparently at the same time, Mizorogi is planning to invite Nagi to his side. Komon and Captain Wakura thankfully came in not too late, and so did Himeya. This is the first time Captain Wakura knows Himeya is Ultraman. Mizorogi called SB to fight Nexus. Nagi who consciously shot Mizorogi and the darkfield disappeared.

Himeya who was injured then again must immediately fight with the SB that appears in the mountains. Nagi, Captain Wakura, and Komon directly join Shiori and Ishibori who are already alerted there. This time the opposed SB has the ability to disappear, it takes 3 episodes to defeat him. The unconscious Himeya was rescued by Horokusa and two friends who happened to be busy photographing nearby. Horokusa who is still an amateur photographer recognizes and idolizes Himeya. When SB rages back, he thought Himeya fainted while taking a picture. Horokusa took the initiative to replace him, he managed to take a lot of pictures but killed SB eaten in front of his friends. When the morning before and Nexus managed to defeat SB tsb, Negoro who is looking for Himeya take Horokusa camera from his friend. Himeya who listened to their conversation realized that Horokusa's actions were like him when he wanted to capture the moment of war, but he had forgotten the reason because his guilt over Sera's death was too great. While Negoro publishes it in newspapers and meets with UFO fan clubs that help him hide from the pursuit of MP, Himeya is severely wounded by the TLT under orders Yoichiru Matsunaga.

Himeya's body was taken to the experimental room just like Komon used to undergo a medical test. Yoichiru intends to find out the origin of Ultraman's power and how to get it to strengthen the TLT weapon. Himeya's heart had stopped beating before Yu knew how to revive it. At that moment, Himeya runs away and meets Komon in the hallway. Yu warns Himeya that if he continues to fight in that condition, he will be killed. Himeya ignores Yu's warnings and makes Komon anxious. Himeya himself ran away until he met Sakuta in a park where they usually met. On the other hand, Mizorogis again do evil deeds. He intends to open a portal of darkness that connects the Land of Death with the earth to bring more SB, but it takes the energy of light belonging to Nexus to be changed in the dark energy in a ritual. Seeing Sakuta who is very concerned about Himeya, Mizorogi keeps Himeya from Sakuta by summoning SB and when Himeya goes that he kidnaps Sakuta.

NR is not left behind, with information from Yu and analysis from Ishibori, they find the point where the portal will be opened. In fact, Negoro with his journalist instincts also headed there. He almost killed SB if Himeya did not help him. Himeya who realizes his body is on the verge of border does not want to see again to see the people closest to him, like Sakuta and Negoro, were killed. He also took the risk and it's true he was not strong again facing the SB that Mizorogi prepared in the land of death. As Strike Chester arrives, NR sees the helpless Nexus crucified on a rock where the death ritual will begin. They also face SB, and with a new weapon named Ultimate Vanisher obtained from the experimental results of Himeya's body, NR was able to destroy the SB page. However, they were unable to fight Mizorogi any more because he held Sakuta hostage. Himeya who met Sera in her unconscious made him able to rise. However, he again became a monster of Mephisto. Yu ordered the Komon to shoot right at the Nexus energy core with the light that once turned Himeya back on. Although initially hesitant, Komon did so. Nexus is now able to keep up with Mephisto. Seeing Mephisto difficult to conquer, Nexus launched a suicide attack and exploded together. All who see it can only startled. Komon cried, could not believe his friend was gone. Himeya pops up briefly as a ghost in front of Komon and leaves a message that keeps always ringing in his head. The message is "Hikari wa Kizuna ...".

After the big battle, NR was interrogated one by one by the highest TLT-Japan board on Ultraman and Himeya Jun's identity and the reason they always helped him. While continuing to try to interpret Himeya's message, Komon and his friends fight back against SB. Turns out Ultimate Vanisher can not be used anymore. Yu tells Yuichiro if it's because someone has just hacked their database and deleted the Himeya file. NR is overwhelmed with surprise by the appearance of the blue Nexus. Yu tells them that it's no longer Himeya.

Ren Senjyu is a hyperactive young man who works part-time in a playground. Cheerful, friendly with small children, and very smart. He has a supernatural ability which lets him see the beast incident from the previous night, just by touching the asphalt. He sees the action of MP who were erasing the memories of people, specifically the actions of agent Mizuo Nonomiya. Mizuo herself was ordered to spy on Ren by Yoichiro, but they fall in love. Meanwhile, Ren realizes that all this time he was being photographed by a mysterious figure. Ren meets with Ultraman as soon as Himeya dies, and then appears in front of Komon and his friends as the new Ultraman. While protecting Chester, Nexus is injured on the right shoulder. Komon thinking Himeya is still alive goes to look for him. He sees Ren running fast from the area of the fallen of Ultraman. Komon follows Ren to his house. However, he was ambushed by Ren, who thinks Komon is the mysterious figure who had been watching him. Suddenly Ren faints, Komon sees the same wound as the Nexus and he realizes that Ren is the new Nexus dunamist. Komon treats Ren's wound and asks Harisu, Ren's boss for permission not to work, by claiming to be his cousin. Komon and Ren then became close. The curious Komon searches for Ren's origin through the network at TLT and learns that Ren is the child of Prometheus Project (PP), the same as Illustrator. Ren's life is colorful, he's always teasing Mizuo, becomes a clown in the playground, plays with Komon during his free time, and jokes with Ojiro, his fellow part-timer. The four of them eventually have dinner together. In addition, with his ESP he is able to communicate with Yuu who was also a good college. Behind his cheerful nature, Ren is dying. He was diagnosed with a kind of illness due to a genetic flaw that should not affect the children of PP and can only survive with a special drug called Raphael. Feeling confined by the academy rules that accommodate the children of PP, not having seen the outside world and his time running out, Ren flees to Japan. That's what kept him under surveillance by the TLT from the start.

In addition, it turns out Mizorogi managed to escape the Land of death injured but alive after his battle against Himeya. During this time, with no memory about himself or his past, he keeps himself hidden until the one day he rescues, Riko the little girl whose parents had been killed by him. After being captured by TLT he regains his memory and with a deep sense of remorse, Mizorogi remembers that he was like a doll of great strength, he was the same as Riko. Mizorogi escapes before his body could be used for research like Himeya, he escapes with Mizuo as his hostage so now MP is also chasing him, one of which is agent Misawa. Though held captive, Mizuo sympathizes with Mizorogi and wants to hear his story. When they meet Komon and Nagi who want to save her, she instead protects Mizorogi. However, Mizorogi's is shot by Misawa who is now apparently capable of turning into Mephisto (Zwei) after Mizorogi lost his power when his dunamist moved. Ren also appears because he is worried about Mizuo, but he is pressed by Mephisto. Mizorogi filled with regret, not wanting want to die in vain as a criminal regained the power of light and changed once again into Mephisto, this time to help the Nexus holding Zwei so Nexus can destroy him. A deeply wounded Mizorogi informs Nagi that the person who actually controlled him (Unknown Hand) was inside the TLT but did not know who exactly. Succumbing to his wounds he dies peacefully in Nagi's arms after she finally forgives him.

The story progresses fast. Junis Blue's first appearance marked a change in the new Nexus form due to the change of dunamist from Himeya to Ren, and followed by the emergence of new and increasingly more powerful opponents. Ren has trouble creating a Metafield due other forces that turning it into a darkfield and increase the strength of SB. Even the SB that was fought was an SB which had been destroyed by Himeya and NR before. In addition, a large hole of darkness also heals the SB wound pinned by Chester and Nexus. Meanwhile, Unknown Hand infiltrates the secret area located at the base of the base retreating after base defenses activate. In the midst of such a precarious situation, an agent from TLT USA, Sara Mizuhara, along with her partner professor Kaimoto arrive at the base. From her talks with the highest council of TLT, she reveals that five years prior in Shinjuku, the first Ultraman appeared and fought against the first SB causing the death of 640 people. During this time, people's memory of the incident had been removed using Lethe, an extraterrestrial technology that fell to earth 20 years ago in Colorado (the same meteor as UFO fan clubs told Negoro). People's memory are stored in the Sea of Forgetfulness, stored in the forbidden area. Meanwhile, NR curious about the arrival of Sara, and assisted by computer-savvy Ishibori, discover the a secret file about the Shinjuku battle 5 years prior. They were also surprised because they themselves have never remembered the incident. Out of protest, Captain Wakura begged Sara to explain the reasons behind the memory wipe. Sara then goes home to the United States, and Kaimoto stays at TLT Japan to watch for Ren.

An SB appears in a city where humans can watch it. The city becomes plagued by panic and confusion, the TLT and MP work hard to control the situation. Ultraman and NR appear forcing the SB to retreat. Ren injured during the battle is captured by TLT after they realize he is the new Ultraman and just like Himeya, Ren is kidnapped and to be examined to make Ultimate Vanisher again. Mizuo tells Komon who immediately appeals to all his colleagues in NR to rescue Ren. They managed to escape with Ren after sabotaging the TLT. The battles became harder, Ren's body quickly reaches the limit of his endurance. He who feels already on the verge of death, and is determined to spend the rest of his life by fighting as Ultraman. Komon then tells Ren about the previous dunamist, he does not want Ren to suffer the same fate and die like Himeya. The SB resumes his attack, this time is a combination of all the SB's before. At this time, Yuu is also worried about Ren's condition and through Komon's Pulse Breaker tells him that Raphael has been brought over by Prof. Kaimoto. However, Ren feels he can not waste time going to the hospital first, he greet Mizuo for the last time and goes to fight all out. Ren wins but is dying, he is saved by Raphael's drug intervention. The Light leaves Ren, and the Dunamist moves once again.

Ultraman Noa with dunamist Kazuki Komon (episode 37)

The story ends in episode 37, with the appearance of Dark Zagi ever mentioned by Mizorogi in the TLT. His Dunamist turned out to be Ishibori, his past being expressed here. In addition, it is not explained further why Nagi suddenly acquired the evoltruster. Then because his emotions were hooked by Ishibori who claimed to kill his parents and only made the Mizorogi as a tool, Nagi turned into Ultraman inside the weakened Lethe area so that his power was immediately absorbed by Ishibori to transform into Dark Zagi. Dark Zagi then rampaged in the city while chased by Captain Wakura alone with Chrome Chester, while his other men Shiori did not move after being shot Ishibori and Komon helped Nagi. Finally Komon takes over the dunamist, feels he has successfully interpreted Himeya's heritage words, and transforms into Ultraman Noa to defeat Zagi.

For all of the Night Raider demanding to stop the experiment, they declared that "Dunamist is only a container of light" and solved the usefulness of using Ultraman's light as a weapon. However, the behavior was bought by the surrounding antipathy, the mercy was released by the night raider who caused the rebellion, and it ended with abandoning pursuit of the night raider by the lateral spear of Yoshitsurazawa.

In Nexus' climactic battle with Mephisto, it is presumed that both perished, but Mizorogi is found alive, although wounded and with absolutely no memory about Faust and his battles with Nexus. Eventually he discovers that he has been nothing but a pawn himself, manipulated by the Unknown Hand to become Dark Mephisto just as he manipulated Riko to become Dark Faust.
