==History==
===Ultraman Nice===
In a world where Ultraman is nothing more than a television series, a hero by the name of Ultraman Nice was active. Much like the characters in the shows, Nice defended humans from Alien Zagon and his trio of monsters. Taking on the host of Ginga Yumeboshi, the vice-captain of GOKAZOKU, he was called into action when Ginga eats a piece of chocolate from his Nice Dreamer wrist band. While physically weaker then his peers, he often is able to defeat his enemies in a pinch. Nice continued to do his best to defend the city alongside GOKUZOKU for the sake of newly released Ultraman toys and merchandise.
===Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Destined Crossroad===
With the looming threat of The Kingdom becoming larger, Nice, alongside Ultraman Zearth and Ultraman Boy, trained at the Ultra Colosseum together. Nice and Zearth practiced fighting together, but Nice became annoyed after Zearth messed up their routine. The two began squabbling, which escalated to the point where the two simultaneously punched each other in the face. Ultrawoman Grigio broke up the argument and came to heal them, before the three introduced themselves to Grigio. They then went over to the Monster Graveyard, where Boy had something rare to show them, which Grigio recognized as a Devil Splinter, making them panic. Gina Spectre then arrived and assaulted them, taking the Devil Splinter from them before Absolute Tartarus arrived with Alien Bat and Reibatos. 
Bat then used his recreated Killer Plasma, taken from the data of Ultra Dark-Killer, to create Ultrawoman Grigio Darkness, who defeated the authentic Grigio in battle. However, Zearth, Nice and Boy help Grigio and encourage her to keep fighting, giving Grigio the determination to finish off her dark copy. The three of them then fight Reibatos until the New Generation Heroes arrive.
They shield Grigio when Gua Spectre reemerges in a new perfect form and attacks everyone, having been revived by forcing Mold and Juda's souls into Gina. After the New Generation Heroes defeated Gua, everyone returned to the Land of Light to continue training.
