GUTS Hyper Keys

are items that Kengo Manaka uses in conjunction with the GUTS Sparklence to transform, and Circle Arms to access different finishers.https://en.tsuburaya-prod.co.jp/news/2583https://m-78.jp/news/post-5839 When not in use, they are stored in the .https://toy.bandai.co.jp/series/ultraman/item/detail/11943/
They also have Kaiju counterparts called Kaiju Keys.
==Nature==
The GUTS Hyper Keys are created when an Ultraman's essence is transferred into a Blank Key. While it acts as the other half of the transformation component, it can also provide its user with the ability to harness the corresponding Ultra's powers as ammunition and/or weaponry enhancement. In Haruki's case, using any one of Z's Hyper Keys can also summon the to access the Inner Space.
Due to the nature of their usage, they can only be used by an Ultra's host/human form as means of invoking their transformation. When used by normal humans, it only empowers the weapon it connects to, as is the case when Akito Hijiri empowers the Nursedessei with Galaxium energy through Ribut's Hyper Key.

==Sounds==
The GUTS Hyper Keys are the first series collectibles in the Ultraman Series to have individual electronics, and are able to interact with various other devices in the series such as the GUTS Sparklence and Circle Arms. In the toy releases, they can switch between the standard and by holding down the button on the top left.
==Trivia==
*In correspondence to GUTS Sparklence's GUTS Hyper Gun motif, the GUTS Hyper Key is based on the latter's cartridge ammunition.https://toy.bandai.co.jp/series/ultraman/topics/detail/2101/ However, their positioning from the weapon's grip and shape brings in mind to real-life firearm magazines.
*The Premium Bandai-exclusive New Generation Heroes GUTS Hyper Keys contain several voice lines from each of their respective Ultras. These lines were selected based on their hypothetical appearances in Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga should they have had been in Haruki Natsukawa's position.https://toy.bandai.co.jp/series/ultraman/topics/detail/2340/
**The lack of Ultrawoman Grigio Key in the New Generation Heroes package, and to a lesser extent, Astra in Ultra Brothers set, is explained due to their lack of transformation noises and both of them rarely shouting their attack names in combat. In Grigio's case, her appearance in the second volume of New Generation Hyper Key set's box art is a form of consolation prize to at least acknowledging her to be a part of the team.https://toy.bandai.co.jp/series/ultraman/topics/detail/2382/
*Trigger Dark's Hyper Key lacks a GUTS-Select emblem, instead, a transparent yellow plastic mold is made with visible cracking motifs.
