Kyrieloid

Kyrieloid's History

The Kyrieloid are a race of demon-like aliens that appeared in Ultraman Tiga. Despite being popularly represented in their physical forms, their true appearances were actually astral versions of Kyrieloid, with the solid form itself being simply how they choose to appear. Though their true home world is unknown, the Kyrieloids had been inhabiting Earth for many millennia, believing themselves to be the architects for both humanity and the planet's future.

Kyrieloid was part of a race of devil-like creatures whom had viewed themselves as prophets for Mankind's future. When one of the devils took the body of a deceased man known as Mitsuo Itahashi, he began prophesizing a "renewal" of Earth by setting fire to those who were impure (by their standards.) All the while, they began to stalk Captain Iruma of GUTS in hopes of making her see that he and his race were the rightful "guardians" of Earth instead of Ultraman Tiga as the Kyrieloids have been inhabiting Earth much longer than the Ultramen had been. When Iruma refused to accept them as their new guardians, Kyrieloid left her to die in a building that was set to be destroyed by Kyrieloid's flames. Once the people were safety evacuated and Ultraman Tiga had arrived to save Iruma from the explosion, Kyrieloid revealed his true form after exposing himself to his own fiery energy, and began fighting Tiga. The two seemed evenly matched until Tiga transformed to Sky Type. While Kyrieloid's speed was impressive, Tiga's was greater and he began gaining the upper hand with a barrage of kicks until Kyrieloid began using his Sacred Fire to gain the advantage. Kyrieloid kept up his assault and managed to weaken Tiga, but GUTS and Iruma called support for Tiga, giving him new strength. Tiga then froze Kyrieloid with his Tiga Freezer attack before switching back to Multi Type and blowing Kyrieloid to pieces with his Zeperion Beam.

After the failure of the first Kyrieloid, several more prophets resurfaced and brainwashed a major population of people in Japan into believing that an Angel has come to Earth for their judgment. The Kyrieloid aliens also fooled the people into believing that Ultraman Tiga was the devil and so prepared to open up a gateway from Hell to Earth preparing to "purge" all those they saw were impure. Also unlike the previous Kyrieloid, several more of his race found and ambushed Daigo, pummeling him in hopes of making sure that he (as Tiga) would not interfere with their plans. Daigo however managed to survive their assault just as GUTS came to rescue him from them.

Once the gateway to Hell appeared in the sky, GUTS left to take care of the gateway while Daigo transformed into Ultraman Tiga to stop it from opening himself. These actions provoked several of the aliens to merge into another Kyrieloid. Still time however, Kyrieloid II was more prepared for Tiga in battle as it possessed the ability to transform its body into forms that mimicked Tiga's own Power and Sky Types. With his enhanced abilities, Tiga was outclassed by Kyrieloid II's powers and was put out of commission upon crashing to the ground from an air fight with Kyrieloid II in Sky Type Analogue and suddenly covered with darkness which emerges from the 'hell' door. Realizing that Tiga was the real hero, GUTS broadcasted to all the brainwashed citizens of Japan that Tiga was the true hero and that Kyrieloid II had been brainwashing everyone to think otherwise. Realizing the errors of their ways the population in the city crowded to Tiga's crash site and shined as much light onto the Ultra as much as there could, reviving Tiga in the process. Realizing Tiga was still alive, Kyrieloid II returned to the Earth and resumed battling Tiga, but Tiga's new consumption of light allowed him to manhandle Kyrieloid II with ease. Ultimately, Kyrieloid II was destroyed when Tiga hurled the demon towards the gateway to hell and blown up by Tiga's Zeperion Beam, ending the Kyrieloid's invasion on Earth.

After the revival of Gatanothor and Tiga's defeat, they appeared to Daigo in his crystal prison in the Tiga Statue to bad mouth him and gloat. They stated they were abandoning Earth and were leaving for another world.

A Kyrieloid appeared in Ultraman Trigger's universe. Disguised as a human, he manipulated the Morpheus R cosmic rays, which affected the members of GUTS-Select and the three Giants of Darkness, showing them illusions of their greatest desires. Only Yuna Shizuma was unaffected by them and to the Kyriel, she had the potential to become a "savior" that could wield a power that can change the universe. Everyone else had "failed" because they gave in to their desires presented to them by the illusions he cast on them. Because Yuna was afraid of using her powers through Yuzare's ring, the Kyriel deemed her a failure as well because she allowed momentary emotions take control of her. The Kyriel transformed into Kyrieloid and begun to battle Trigger.

Trigger struggled to fight against the Kyrieloid, having just battled the Giants of Darkness and had his energy depleted twice. Fortunately, Yuna was able to awaken the dormant "light" within Mitsukuni Shizuma, allowing him to summon Ultraman Tiga. Tiga recharged Trigger's energy and they fought against the Kyrieloid together. They battled the Kyrieloid using their various Type Changes and finishers, chasing it through the air and fighting on ground, until they both destroyed it using their Zeperion Beams.
