Ultraman Zero (ウルトラマンゼロ Urutoraman Zero?) is a fictional character from the Ultra Series. He first appeared in Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy before starring in his own film Ultraman Zero: The Revenge of Belial. Lacking a TV series of his own, he became the main presenter of Ultraman Retsuden/Shin Ultraman Retsuden and made guest appearances in subsequent Ultra Series TV projects.
Introduced as an energetic, boastful, and stubborn warrior, Zero was sent into banishment by Ultraseven after his failed attempt to steal the Plasma Spark. Zero was placed into the care of Ultraman Leo, who trained Zero during his exile while having him wear heavy training wear, called Techtor Gear (テクターギア Tekutā Gia?). When Ultraman Belial returned to the Land of Light and stole the Plasma Spark, Zero redeemed himself of his past mistake by defeating Belial and retrieving the Plasma Spark, and learned of his origin as the son of Seven (セブンの息子 Sebun no Musuko). Although he retained his hotheaded traits, Zero slowly went through character development and matured as his roles in the Ultra Series progressed. After helping to defeat Belial's invasion attempt in another dimension, he founded Ultimate Force Zero (ウルティメイトフォースゼロ Urutimeito Fōsu Zero) and became the group's leader, dedicating it to protect the universe from evil threats and wiping out remnants of Belial's former army.
