==History==
===Pre-Ultraman Tiga===
20 years ago, Nezu developed the liquid gas "Zelda Gas," which had a powerful energy source. However, due to its high level of danger and the inability to find ways to avoid the risk, when Nezu presented it to the academic community, he not only did not receive recognition but was continuously ignored.
Despite the support of his daughter Asami and her pet parakeet Shiela, during a call, an explosion occurred due to the only drop of Zelda gas stored in his home, resulting in Asami's death and causing a major disaster in the surrounding area.
Afterward, he was condemned as the "cursed scientist" and permanently expelled from the academic community. In despair, he was diagnosed with an incurable disease and had little time left, but he decided to continue his research on how to eliminate the Zelda Gas he created with the remaining time.
===Ultraman Tiga===
20 years later, when Shiela appeared from Mount Asama in Hokkaido and flew in the air at a speed of 1500 kilometers per hour, persistently advancing towards the center of TPC's Zelda Gas storage, Nezu immediately discovered that the monster's true identity was Shiela, and believed that the situation was due to Shiela's hatred of the Zelda Gas that had once caused Asami's death, and for the purpose of destroying it. He went to the Dive Hangar to try to warn GUTS, hoping that the team would not let Shiela get close to the Zelda Point.
When Shiela began to attack the storage point, Nezu suddenly appeared on the battlefield, trying to move the Zelda Gas to a safe place. Despite Shiela being exhausted after the fight with Ultraman Tiga, she still advanced towards the Zelda Gas.
After arriving at the Zelda Gas site, the exhausted Shiela collapsed on the spot, having reached her limit. However, Shiela sacrificed herself by absorbing the Zelda Gas to eliminate its existence.
In the end, he realized Shiela's true intentions and handed over the Zelda Gas to her, expressing gratitude before departing from this world. Later, his soul transformed into light and merged with Shiela, embarking on a journey through space with Asami's soul.
