Dark Lugiel

*For his human identity, see Lugiel.*

**Dark Lugiel** (ダークルギエル, *Dāku Rugieru*) is the brother of Ultraman Ginga.

## History

Dark Lugiel was once known as just Lugiel, a civilian of Planet Sanja. He was an orphan with his brother Ginga, basically used as an assassin for the rich. Ginga and Lugiel got into a fight one day, which caused Lugiel to abandon his brother and run away. While running away, he met three other assassin orphans just like him. They all became friends, going on hunts together.

But, some time after that, the four were attacked by kaijus and a golden ultrawoman. During the battle, the four transformed into Ultraman Rosso, Ultraman Blu, Dark Lugiel and Grigio Bone respectfully. But, Blu and Rosso were eventually defeated, leaving Grigio and Lugiel to escape by themselves. They went to many different other planets, Lugiel even believing that he destroyed a planet himself.

After traveling for years, the two finally landed on Earth, taking the names of Tetsuji Hanaya and Kitsune Kagami-Yaiba. Tetsuji built a close relationship with his adopted siblings. (especially Adelaide)

He also became a part of a friend group with Kitsune, acting like a brother figure to most of them. He grew close to a boy that he dragged into the friend group named Kengo, the two eventually forming a relationship with each other.

### Almost Losing to Darkness

After Adelaide was kidnapped by Carmeara and brought to the abandoned mall, Tetsuji managed to locate the abandoned mall since Carmeara left a note in Adelaide's room. As soon as he got there, he engaged in a fight with her, which made him lose control of his actions. Darrgon also joined the fight, forcing Tetsuji to fight both of them.

When Kengo tried to stop him the first time however, Tetsuji threw him into a wall to continue the fight. He didn't stop fighting the two ultras until Kengo managed to get back up, stopping Tetsuji in his tracks. He then used some of his light to stop Tetsuji from going on a rampage, changing him into Ultraman Lugiel.
