He spent his teenage years in high school as a baseball player and later on worked as a TPC maintenance crew in The Final Odyssey, saluting Daigo, who in fact his own predecessor.
[3] His kidnapper Gondo redeemed himself by sacrificing his life to replenish Dyna's energy and defeated Zeluganoid but Asuka collapsed from his injuries and was taken care by his predecessor, Daigo before Ryo picked him again.
When Super GUTS unleashed a full campaign against Gransphere, he saved Ryo as Dyna from being held hostage by Neo Gaigaraid but during this point that his identity made known to his teammates.
While presumed dead, he was actually reunited with his long lost father and the two fly towards the space-time continuum, with Asuka eventually reappearing in subsequent Ultra Series installments.
The props used to portray Asuka, such as his Super GUTS uniform and Lieflasher was nicely preserved under Tsuruno's own request, having expected to reprise his character in later years.
Before the rising age of monster attacks, most of GUTS Ride Mechas (ライドメカ, Raido Meka) are meant to be rescue vehicles.
In Ultraman Tiga The Final Odyssey, most of Super GUTS members made their cameo appearances as Zero Training Squad, helping out the Artdessei crew in R'lyeh, while Nakajima worked in TPC Science division and Mai at that time still a middle school student.
15 after Asuka's sacrifice (2032) in Ultraman Saga, the Japanese branch of Super GUTS were transferred to the Mars division, with many of its members promoted to higher ranks.
Terrestrial Peaceable Consortium (地球平和連合, Chikyū Heiwa Rengō, TPC) is an organization that founded by Sawai during his time as the secretary general of the United Nations back in the 20th century (2005).
[17] Both the TPC headquarters and the GUTS command centre were situated at the Dive Hangar (ダイブハンガー, Daibu Hangā) in Bōsō Peninsula, Chiba Prefecture, Japan.
[19] Although the Dive Hangar was rebuilt after its damage by Gatanothor's darkness, hard lessons were learned from that day, leading to the construction of Grandome (グランドーム, Gurandōmu) within the mountains of Japan.
Stationing themselves in TPC's Military Police Base Mars Lab (警務局火星研究所, Keimu-kyoku Kasei Kenkyūjo), they kidnapped Asuka and used him to create Terranoid, but when the artificial Ultraman was quickly hijacked, the group went defunct during his rampage before Dyna killed him.
A long time ago, this civilization was known for being a utopia, until the arrival of dark forces, which came in the form of rampaging monsters appeared and spreads fear towards its civilians.
[31] Also, the original setting for the pyramid was instead supposedly to house five instead of three Ultras, with two statues being destroyed and the other two merging with Tiga to bestow him his Type Change abilities.
[38] Ultraman Dyna (ウルトラマンダイナ, Urutoraman Daina) is the main titular Ultra Warrior of his own series, whose origin in the story remains unknown to this day.
[39] Although bonded to Asuka, Dyna's entire activities were controlled by the man's own will, thus making him as the second case of "human Ultraman" (人間ウルトラマン, Ningen Urutoraman) after Tiga himself.
Because of his appearance, he is regarded by many (both in-series and fans alike) as the spiritual successor to Ultraman Tiga, having met the latter once while the Earth was in the brink of invasion by Alien Monera.
During the series finale, when the Sphires' invasion reached its climax, his host Asuka was kidnapped and Dyna's power was forcefully used to bring forth TPC's artificial Ultraman Terranoid.
[41] In every accessed forms, he retains the common ability to erect Ultra Barrier (ウルトラバリア, Urutora Baria), an energy shield that defends him from incoming attacks.
The creature rebelled against his own creators, forcing Asuka/Dyna to fight in a depleted energy until Gondo sacrificed his own life to replenish Dyna, allowing the giant of light to kill Zeluganoid with ease.
As Zeluganoid, he retained his original attacks and is capable of utilizing energy shields and Flash Cycler (Fake) (フラッシュサイクラー（フェイク）, Furasshu Saikurā Feiku), the former which is also demonstrated in most Sphire-related synthetic monsters.
Gatanothor's main ability is to launch Shadow Mist (シャドウミスト, Shadō Misuto) to either spread darkness around the world or as hazardous gas used in attack.
While having fewer appearances in the series, they were soon given an active involvement in the three parter finale episodes, combining with each other to form Dark Planet Gransphere (暗黒惑星 グランスフィア, Ankoku Wakusei Guransufia) and contemplated to consume the whole Solar System.
Having consumed Pluto and the artificial sun, Gransphire set its target on Earth, using a black hole as its shield until Super GUTS in Clarkov fires the Neo Maxima Cannon for Dyna to finish it.
To escape death penalty, they offered their alliance and used Pochi Garaon to do so by having Hanejiro deliver it to One-Z and freed Dyna, as well as killing Casa Madara, the android that manipulate the monster.
Originally meant to be a giant robot whose height exceeded even the Tokyo Tower, Garaon's creation only went by its head after the Miji's plan were quickly exposed.
In the present day, two years after Tiga's final battle with Gatanothor, TPC discovered their stone statue and thought of using Keigo Masaki's own idea to manipulate the Ultra Warriors' powers for military strength but accidentally lifted their seal by mistake and eventually led them to their revival.
Evil Android Casa Madara (凶悪アンドロイド カーサ・マダラー, Kyōaku Andoroido Kāsa Madarā)[64][o] is the primary antagonist of Ultraman Dyna: Return of Hanejiro.
Armed with the ability to manipulate time flows and superhuman capabilities, Casa was sent by her masters, Alien Dehadoh as vanguard to invade the Earth by first eliminating Ultraman Dyna.
Summoned through her own switch, Arwon first appeared in the city and fought both Super GUTS and Dyna, demonstrating the ability to absorb incoming attacks before leaving.
