Greeza

https://m-78.jp/z/kaiju is a monster born from the distortions of space, being the manifestation of a "hole" in space that gives off no signs of life. It is the main antagonist of Ultraman X and the final enemy of the series as well.

==Conception==
===Etymology===
Greeza's name comes from the words of Greed and Glee.
==History==
===Pre-Ultraman X===
At some unknown point of time, Greeza briefly met with Ultraman Tregear during his fall into darkness, the latter finding their common ground for their relation to "nothingness". Fifteen years ago, after it destroyed three planets filled with life, Greeza desired to destroy the solar system. As it raced into the Milky Way, it met resistance in the form of Ultraman X. Both Ultra and the figure clashed each others in their travel sphere forms until they reached the sun, where X takes this opportunity to throw the villain into it. However, this had become his greatest undoing, as the villain's demise had set forth the Ultra Flare, with said wave trapped X in a form of computer data and banished him to the Earth. 
===Ultraman X===
Greeza had in fact survived its supposed destruction, revived from the waves of Ultra Flare and launched the Dark Thunder Energy on Earth to turn monsters berserk and has been doing it for at least 18 days, starting at around Mercury, and then moving past Venus to reach the Earth, according to the UNVER HQ at Geneva. Its activities were noticed by aliens hiding on the Earth, so much so that a Dada predicted that the Earth shall face extinction from the attack. To make things worse, the lightning was also being taken advantage by an evil faction during its debut, until they were defeated.
Sometime after a group Bugbuzuns' intrusion to Earth, Mamoru and Wataru spotted Greeza in its first form when they were flying past the moon and it's contact made the Space Musketty lose contact with headquarters. Greeza eventually landed on Earth and completely obliterated the UNVER base in Nevada and absorbed all of the Spark Dolls there because it sensed that place as the largest source of Spark Dolls in the world and that Earth's monsters are the most abundant in life energy. Greeza then turned into its second form and flew straight to the second largest source, which just so happened to be the Xio headquarters in Japan.
On its way to Japan, it is met by opposition by Xio USA in the North Pacific airspace and they launch Perseus missiles at Greeza, but it dodged them all and destroyed the resistance. It then zooms in on the Xio base when Daichi turns into Ultraman X and he turns into his Exceed X form immediately to stop it. After a quick tussle, X is joined by Hayato in the Sky Musketty and Cyber Gomora to stop Greeza, but the alien gains the upper hand due to its distortion, shielding, and strong attacks. Eventually he downs the Sky Musketty with its beam, and unrealizes Cyber Gomora with its vortex, which also interfered with the electricty in the surrounding area as well. X tried to use the Exceed X Slash on Greeza, but it absorbed him. Unfortunately for Greeza, this lead to a mistake as it was presumably killed as X blew it up from within. 
Soon afterwards, Greeza regenerated and re-enacted its attack on the Xio base and was met with resistance by Cyber Gomora again. Greeza made quick work of it and, at the same time, destroyed the Xio base with its energy attacks. The alien then absorbed all of the Spark Dolls at the base, even the recently revived EX Red King, Tsurugi Demaaga, and EX Gomora, until it transformed into its final form. Then, Greeza resumed its rampage on Earth despite the obstacle of Xio. Before he could finish them off, Wataru and Mamoru returned in the Space Musketty and destroyed the energy ball meant for Xio.
Soon enough, Daichi and X reunited and stood in Greeza's way once more. Even in his Exceed X form, the Ultraman couldn't keep up Greeza and its new powers gained from the Spark Dolls, including Gomora's Ultra Oscillation Wave and EX Red King's Flame Road. But then Daichi reached out to Gomora and struck Greeza in the chest. This resulted in all of the Spark Dolls it absorbed coming to X and he united with him to form the Hybrid Armor. Greeza was eventually defeated once and for all with the Ultimate Xanadium, powered by all of the Cyber Cards and Spark Dolls. 
===Jugglus Juggler Chronicle: Ja no Michi wa Hebi===
Greeza's card was one of the many Kaiju Cards in possession of Alien Arcana Doman Seman. While unintended, the Greeza card is the last to be used by Doman, which summons a giant ghostly arm that drags him into the depths of the void. 
===Ultraman Z===
During the evening after Z defeated Bullton, a strange dimensional rift appeared in the sky, heralding Greeza's arrival. On the day after the fight against Bullton, Greeza had devoured eleven disaster disposal workers, making it as if they vanished into thin air. Riku Asakura contacted Haruki Natsukawa when he detected void vibrations on Haruki's Earth, saying that Bullton's destruction caused a hole to be formed in the universe as it was no longer around to bear "irrationalities" to sustain the universe. Just then, Greeza fully materialized and started to attack the city. Z and Geed transformed to fight against the void monster, and were then joined by Jugglus Juggler, transformed into Tri-King and then Five King. Still, their efforts were not enough to bring Greeza down. Geed decided to sacrifice himself by fusing with Greeza to trap it between reality and unreality, sealing it in its first form. He had told Z that a "needle" existed beyond the void, and gave Z his Ultra Medal for later use.
That night, Greeza had almost completely fused with Geed and became active again. Fortunately, after having acquired the Belial Medal from Celebro, Z transformed into his new form Delta Rise Claw, which had the power to withstand getting absorbed by Greeza. Z managed to free Geed from the void and pull out the Beliarok, which was the proverbial "needle" that was required to sew the hole in space and destroy Greeza. After a brief fight, Z and Haruki managed to convince the Beliarok to fight alongside them and finished off Greeza with the Deathcium Slash.

==Dark Thunder Energy Victims==
During the second half of Ultraman X, Greeza constantly fired the Dark Thunder Energy towards Earth, causing the targets to be affected. Exposed victims tend to be empowered and went berserk, but fewer of them retain their free will.

==Trivia==
*The prop of Greeza's first form was modified from the Purana in Neo Ultra Q.http://seesaawiki.jp/w/ebatan/d/%A5%B0%A5%EA%A1%BC%A5%B6 Said prop would later be reverted back to Purana in Ultraman Taiga, and a new first form prop appears to have been constructed for its appearance in Ultraman Z.
*Greeza's second form's unstable movement was due to its nature being "nonexistent" and a walking space anomaly, therefore its existence is instability to itself and its surroundings. Said movement was inspired by butoh, a form of Japanese dance theatre that encompasses a diverse range of activities, techniques, and motivations for dance, performance, or movement.http://seesaawiki.jp/w/ebatan/d/%A5%B0%A5%EA%A1%BC%A5%B6
*Kiyotaka Taguchi revealed that before Ultraman Exceed X sacrificed himself to blow up Greeza from within, his Xlugger provided Greeza a physical body. Once Greeza reconstituted from its apparent destruction, it was no longer a space anomaly and therefore it physically existed. However, this was also a primary factor in its fall, as Greeza's current state allowed the Xlugger to finish it.http://seesaawiki.jp/w/ebatan/d/%A5%B0%A5%EA%A1%BC%A5%B6
*One of the series' writers, Hirotoshi Kobayashi, said that a motif in Greeza's design was his own traumatic image of Zetton when he was a child.https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%A6%E3%83%AB%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%9E%E3%83%B3X
*Another writer, Takao Nakano, has stated that Greeza's final form with its spike armor was inspired by the Sagrada Família church.
**The final form's suit was simply the second form equipped with a jacket-like prop and a pair of gauntlets to make up its talons. Said prop however was too bulky and heavy for the suit actor to handle, thus not many physical movements were made by Greeza during recording.
*Out of all Cyber Cards, Greeza is the first to have its Cyber Power rated full.
*In Xio's database display, its categorization was defined as "TYPE UNKNOWN". Despite its given subtitle "Void Monster", its Cyber Card set is categorized as "Type A (Alien)".
**It was revealed by Kiyotaka Taguchi that he purposely used the "Kaiju" term, and stated that Greeza is "A non-existent monster, to the point that it can't even describe its subject, life form, and appearance".https://twitter.com/TaguchiKiyotaka/status/676789079929819136
*Greeza’s laugh comes from the series Metal Kaiser, where it was the laugh of the kaiju Kaela.https://x.com/crazy_ultraman/status/1643747740873289729?s=61
*Greeza's appearance in Ultraman Z is to introduce another strong monster into the hierarchy of the titular Ultra's growth. It was originally meant to be a new monster, but since the budget has all been used for Sevenger and King Joe STORAGE Custom, Greeza was chosen, coincidentally for its last usage before the then-battered suit would be modified into a new monster costume in the future. Since Greeza is "nothingness", the original plan was to defeat Greeza with an item sharing its own power, but it was changed into Beliarok so as to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Ultraman Belial himself.
*The design of the ships operated by V99 in Ultraman Blazar seem to be based on Greeza's Final Form and Mokian.:File:V99 Mokian Greeza Comparison.png
