==History==
===Another Gene===
Nix is a humanoid who was created by Kei Fukuide through his experimentation with Ultraman Belial's DNA. Whereas his "brother", Riku Asakura, was created purely from Belial's Ultraman side of DNA, Nix was created from the Reionics side. However, he was literally dumped like garbage by Fukuide after deeming the young boy a failure and unfit to join Belial's forces. The young Nix was discovered by Gai Kurenai, who encouraged him to live his life to the fullest even if he is bound to die in the future.
Through unknown means, Nix settled down in "ShOUT", an abandoned ramen shop as his personal living space while establishing the job of a , doing errands for AIB while receiving merchandise of his favorite show as payment.
===NEW GENERATION THE LIVE -STARS Edition- TSUBURAYA CONVENTION 2023 SPECIAL STAGE===
In the segment, Geed and Z faced Belial Atrocious, who was resurrected by an Alien Magma via a red Battlenizer, albeit compelled to act against his will. The Ultras found themselves overwhelmed by Belial's power until a mysterious party summoned Eleking to stun the dark Ultra for a brief moment, giving Geed the opportunity to turn into Ultimate Final and defeat his father again.
After the battle, the Ultras wondered who came to their rescue. Geed said that it must be someone who was also facing his destiny, and that he would like to meet him given the chance. Later, it is revealed by Zenna that the one who had helped them out was none other than a "kaiju detective", as a silhouette of Nix Kanaya flashes across the screen.
