Ultraman Belial (ウルトラマンベリアル, Urutoraman Beriaru) is a major antagonist of Ultra series. He was once among the most powerful and respected warriors in the Land of Light, until his greed and lust for power overcame and corrupted him. Now he plots to conquer the Land of Light and get his revenge on the Ultras. He was eventually killed by his clone and son, Ultraman Geed.
Personality[]
Belial's most defining traits are his greed and pride, which he had even prior to his merger with Alien Reiblood. Envious upon Ken's appointment to the position of Commander of the Inter Galactic Defense Force, coupled with a fascination from witnessing Alien Empera's might, Belial, with his wounded pride and a growing inferiority complex, turned to the path of evil. Attempting to steal the Core of the Plasma Spark and later accepting Alien Reiblood's powers into his very being, corrupted Belial. Selfish, arrogant, sinister, and sadistic enough to murder anyone who tries to rule without him, Belial displayed little to no concern for his minions' well-being, more than eager to discard them as soon as they outlived their usefulness or worse betraying and killing some just to try to convince others tp join his cause as shown through his interaction with Rei.
In the events of Ultraman Geed, Belial is still power hunger, arrogant, and sinister as ever, yet he developed a sense of recognition in Riku aka. Geed despite the differences in their alignment in a similar way to most parents and only sought to use his son as mere tool for his quest for vengeance. During the final battle between Riku and Belial, the former discovered that the fallen Ultra's heart is filled with sorrow as much as rage, showing that his quest for vengeance has turned his life a miserable one and that he grew tired from countless defeats and resurrections from the same quest. Sadly, while Belial himself does not deny this, he is too angry to admit his own part in his suffering, forcing Geed to reluctantly put him out of his misery in the end.
History[]
Past[]
Ultraman Belial was once an Ultra Warrior who fought together with Ultraman Ken during the Ultimate Wars. They battled Alien Empera together, but while Belial was left wounded, Ken unlocked his hidden power and defeated Alien Empera. Upon Ken's appointment as founding commander of the Inter Galactic Defense Force, and fascination of Alien Empera's power, Belial desired to gain more power. The gap between him and comrade widen as time went on. Frustrated by his wounded pride, Belial decided to take energy from the Core of the Plasma Spark to surpass Father of Ultra. However, the light was too strong for him to handle and drove him mad. He was arrested by the Inter Galactic Defense Force and exiled from the Land of Light.
Out in space, Belial was met by Alien Reiblood, who offered him the power that he sought and fused his DNA with Belial to transform him into a Reionics. Belial was given the Giga Battlenizer and attacked the Land of Light with his army of one hundred monsters in the Revolt of Belial for revenge. Ultraman King descended upon the planet to imprisoned Belial in the Space Prison and sealed away his Giga Battlenizer in the Valley of Flames.
Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legend The Movie[]
An Alien Zarab who had stolen the Giga Battlenizer, from the aftermath of Mechazam's death, disguised himself as Imitation Ultraman and arrived on the Space Prison to free Belial in an attempt to form a pact with him to rule the universe. Ultraman Belial instead killed the Alien Zarab mercilessly. [Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legend The Movie]

Crisis Impact[]
Having been inadvertently revived from Zero's Shining Star Drive during the events of Ultra Zero Fight, Belial resumed his conquest for vengeance and power. Having reclaimed his reconstructed Giga Battle Nizer and destroyed Reibatos along the way, he found and saved the life of an Alien Sturm, Kei Fukuide, and gave him a place alongside the Darkness Five as one of his followers, giving him a purpose to exist. Alongside them, Belial formed a new army called Terror The Belial and instigated another war against the Ultras in a battle called the "Omega Armageddon", which held the fate of the Side Space Universe at stake. The war culminated in the fallen Ultra triggering the Crisis Impact with the Super-dimensional Eradication Bomb, with Earth at its epicenter. Belial would have succeeded in his operation, had it not been for Ultraman King's intervention.
Present Day[]
For a time, Belial was believed to have perished, when in reality, he had sent Kei to steal the Ultra Capsules and Risers from the Land of Light, as well as provided him with his genetic material to create his own son, Riku Asakura. At the same time, Kei created the Kaiju Capsules out of stolen Ultra Capsules, which held the essences of Ultras' past enemies, including Alien Empera and Dark Lugiel. During this time Belial retreated to a pocket dimension, to hide and recuperate from his injuries.

Belial's genes were used by Alien Chibull Mabuze to create a Skull Gomora and Imit-Ultraman Belial.
Ultraman Z[]
- Main article: Devil Splinters
Although Belial has long since been defeated, his many battles and injuries scattered fragments of his cells and genetic material throughout the multiverse. These splinter corrupted monsters and even revived past opponents. The Parasitic Lifeform Celebro experimented with the Devil Splinters in order to create Belial's medal but the samples were unstable and quickly disintegrated. Celebro ordered the Valis Raiders to kidnap Riku Asakura to obtain a sample his Belial Factor and created a stable Belial Medal which Celebro used to become Belial Fusion Monsters with. During Greeza's appearance on Earth, Jugglus Juggler assisted Haruki Natsukawa to obtain the Belial Medal that only Celebro possessed. It was later repossessed by Celebro and embedded into Ultroid Zero to finally execute its Civilization Self-Destruction Game.
Other Events[]
Ultraman Ginga S The Movie: 10 Ultra Heroes[]
Although not appearing as himself physically, Ultraman Belial was one of the few Eteldummies that was created by Etelgar.[1] Using his dark power to recreate the dark ultra, Etelgar had Ultraman Belial stand up to the remaining three ultras on the fourth and final floor of the fiendish alien's castle, where he was confronted by Ultraman Zero. The two ultras fought fiercely, but compared to Zero, the Eteldummy was nothing like the original Belial in terms of strength, and after overwhelming Belial with his attacks from his Strong Corona and Luna Miracle forms, the Eteldummy was destroyed by Shining Zero's Shining Emerium Ray.
Ultraman Orb[]
- Main article: Ultraman Orb (character)
While he doesn't appear in the series, an Ultra Fusion Card which contains his darkness is somehow in the possession of the Alien Mefilas, Don Nostra, who planned to use it as an "ultimate last resort" before Jugglus Juggler claimed it after murdering him. With it, along with six Kaiju Cards each representing power of elemental King Demon Beasts, Juggler released Maga-Orochi from its prison by nullifying Zoffy's seal on it. The Belial Card, alongside the Zoffy Card, were later retrieved by Princess Tamayura who then passed it on to Gai before allowing herself to be destroyed by Maga-Orochi's blast. His heart filled with rage, Gai synched with the Belial card and turned into his darkest fusion form, Thunder Breastar. Although this form allowed him to defeat the progenitor King Demon Beast, it was not without a price; as Thunder Breastar, Orb was reduced to a mindless, out of control berserker. This came to a head during the fight against Galactron (who was holding Naomi hostage), where Gai was forced to use the card again and as he feared, he ended up severely injuring Naomi while destroying Galactron in his berserker state and would've destroy everything on sight just like Maga-Orochi did had he not reached his limit.
Fortunately thanks to Naomi's comfort and revelation of Natasha's survival, Gai managed to sum up the courage to use the Belial Card to assume Thunder Breastar once again to match Juggler's Zeppandon. Although Orb ended up losing control like the last time, Naomi's support reached Gai and subsequently, allowed him to fully master the form's overwhelming power and later, unsealed the Orb Calibur to turn into Orb Origin for the first time in decades, allowing him to defeat Zeppandon. Since then, the dark nature of the Belial Fusion Card has been subjugated into Gai's light and became one of his strongest cards. Gai would also summon a projection of Belial to help him finish off the Ultimate King Demon Beast, Magata no Orochi, by having said projection firing his Deathcium Ray.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
Ultraman Belial was originally voiced by Hiroyuki Miyasako (宮迫博之, Miyasako Hiroyuki). Miyasako was replaced by Yuki Ono (小野 友樹, Ono Yūki) who became the voice of Ultraman Belial since Ultra Zero Fight.
Etymology[]
Belial's name comes from Belial the leader of the Sons of Darkness, in the Dead Sea Scrolls. His inferiority complex could be derived from the same Hebrew word often understood as "lacking worth" (בְלִיַּעַל, bĕli-yaal).
