Ultraman Tiga

**Ultraman Tiga** (ウルトラマンティガ, *Urutoraman Tiga*) is the first ultra that has a type change ability. Mitsukuni Shizuma summons it to help Ultraman Trigger to fight Kyrieloid.

## History

### Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga

Ultraman Tiga was the Giant of Light that often helped the Earth where Mitsukuni Shizuma once fought as a member of the TPC. He was occasionally brought up by Chairman Shizuma, who was a castaway from the world where Tiga was from.[*The Wings of That Day*]

During the appearance of Kyrieloid who overwhelmed Ultraman Trigger and GUTS-Select, the light within Mitsukuni Shizuma shined. The courage and hope from when he fought with Tiga was still within him. His daughter Yuna Shizuma used Yuzare's power and drew out his light, which manifested into the shape of a Sparklence and from it Mitsukuni summoned the legendary Ultraman Tiga.

Ultraman Tiga transfered energy to Ultraman Trigger with his Crystal Power ability. The two Giants of Light joined forces and took on Kyrieloid. They type changed into Power Type and engaged into hand to hand combat with the demonic being, firing double Deracium Light Torrents at it. Kyriel grew wings from its back and took to the sky. Tiga and Trigger both changed to Sky Type and pursued him in an intense, high-speed aerial battle. They destroyed its wings and drove it back toward the ground where Tiga and Trigger unleashed an unrelenting onslaught of attacks against Kyrieloid. Tiga and Trigger fired their Zeperion Beams together and defeated Kyrieloid. After an intense battle with Kyrieloid, Yuna and Mitsukuni bid their thanks to the two Giants of Light as they flew off. Yuna thanked her father and they bonded over this miraclous moment.[*What Makes a Savior*]

Multi Type has the following abilities
* **Zeperion Beam** (ゼペリオン光線, *Zeperion Kōsen*): The beam attack that Tiga is best at. He collects light energy and fires it from his right arm as a white, high-heat beam. In some cases, not only is it used to defeat opponents, but it can be used as a recovery beam to restore the opponent to their original state.
* **Ultra Shield** (ウルトラシールド, *Urutora Shīrudo*)
* **Cell Change Beam** (セルチェンジビーム, *Seru Chenji Bīmu*): Tiga charges the Zeperion Beam but then delivers the energy from both hands to calm the monster. He then emits the last beam from his crystal to shrink them down. The Cell Change Beam is energy intensive, depleting almost all of Tiga's energy.
