Ultraman Nioh (ウルトラマン仁王 *Urutoraman Niō*) is the titular Ultra of the series "Ultraman Nioh: The Fallen Nioh Guardian." A wrathful god manifestation that bonded with Rayu Takeshi before fully assimilating into him, combining two souls into one. His original human form has an appearance similar to Rayu Takeshi, and it is hinted several times in the series that Rayu might be his true reincarnation.

## History

The original Nioh Guardian of Buddha, Ultraman Nioh, was born from another universe where everything is purely based on Hinduism and Buddhism. He was one of the few known Ultras to exist before getting transported to this universe. And he was born in an underground Buddhist civilization.

In the past, he fought many battles to protect humankind. His feats were great enough to be recognized by every being in the universe, one of his most impressive feats is stopping a planetary palm from a giant being while he was on earth, but this severely weakened him to the point of being unable to transform for several weeks, leaving him stranded in human form with a similar appearance to Rayu Takeshi.

One of the great battles that earned him the nickname of “Benevolent King” (Which is also his name but in English) was a battle of kindness. He fought a 1 vs 100 Seijin battle and emerged victorious, albeit exhausted because of the huge number of aliens he had to fight. He had the chance to end the lives of his enemies, but choose to spare them instead as he sees kindness in them. “They are not evil in their own will, they are forced to live like this for survival,” he said. This feat not only earned him the nickname, but he also attained universal peace throughout his own universe by sparing them and showing that they can improve if they really try it. With his mission completed, he decided to go into a deep slumber until the next time the world requires his presence. He rests inside a cave located behind a waterfall. Evil still roams the world, but he decided to leave that to the other Ultras to deal with.

Fun fact: Anyone who meditates in the waterfall can sometimes hear the voice of ‘god’ talking at them, giving life advice.

Thousands of years later, Rayu Takeshi, a rogue fighter, went on a journey to achieve a higher power. He has the personality of an Asura from mythology. Always prideful and quick to anger, but with a good heart. His journey led him to a waterfall, where trained himself to become a better fighter.

Somewhere during the year, Rayu was training at the waterfall like usual. Then the sky suddenly turns bright orange. A giant asteroid that is large enough to cause a mass-extinction event is burning through the atmosphere of the planet, threatening to slam into the Earth. Powerless to do anything, Rayu could only stare at the scorching rock of flames as he knelt on the ground, mentally telling himself that he has lived a good life. When he opened his eyes to witness the doomsday event, he saw… nothing. Just a void of pure darkness and emptiness. As if he was transported to this void. He thought he had died, but we all know that wasn’t the case. The void suddenly fills up with a flowing bright orange energy texture as the Nioh Guardian himself,  Ultraman Nioh, slowly materializes in front of him in translucent form.

He asked Ultraman Nioh who he is, but the Ultra didn’t give him a reply. A sudden flash of bright light occurs, blinding him before finally sending him back to the real world. But he is inside the inner light of Ultraman Nioh, watching the Ultra from the inside dealing with the Asteroid by charging right at it, stopping the asteroid's momentum with his strength, and throwing it back into space.

Time passes, and evil has been slowly increasing ever since Nioh’s slumber. The two set out on a journey to eliminate (and spare if possible) evils all across the universe. Their bond increases with each battle which only increases their power.

During a fateful battle, Nioh died to an enemy that proved too much for him to handle via a giant explosion, which also transported him into the current world. Knowing that his death would also mean the death of his host, he decided to use what was left of his remaining energy and fuse their souls and minds into one, forever into a single being. However, this devolved his power and appearance, turning him into an amnesiac silver giant of light.

**The Fallen Guardian Rises**

Sometimes after the complete fusion, the explosion transported Rayu (Now Nioh) into the stranger world. With no exact purpose in life, he decided to set foot in that world to discover his nature and goal.

He encountered many Ultras who were friendly and who were not, defeated many invaders of earth. As time passes, he eventually gained self-evolution and achieved his very first fierce, yet uncontrollable strength form: TRIKAYA. The unadulterated fury of the form allows him to manifest the anger into power, defeating many enemies that crosses path with him.

As more time passes, he gained another self-evolution, the form of pure speed: Redline Force. He uses everything he can to defeat any more enemies against him. Until one fateful event...

**The Guardian Reborn**

A deadly battle against his evil clone, Nioh Darkness with the help of another Ultra. Together they managed to brutally defeat the Dark Ultra, allowing Nioh to regain his true form.

Ever since then, most of his future appearance he almost-always assumed this form, almost abandoning his Default/Devolved Form.

## Profile

**Stats**

* **Height**: 49 m
* **Weight**: 50,000 t (Default Form) / 70,000 t (True Form)
* **Age**: Stated to be around 7000
* **Home World**: Planet Earth (NiohVerse)

**Body Features**

**Default**

* **Nioh Crystal**: The gem located on his forehead. The crystal gathers the mana from the earth so he could stay active as long as he wants. If he’s in outer space, he must gather solar energy to keep himself active. It can also be used for energy manipulation.
* **Nioh Armor**: The body of the Ultra. The Ultra is extremely resistant to fire and lasers. Unlike any other Ultra armor, Nioh can withstand low freezing temperatures because he’s an earth-born Ultra.
* **Life Gauge**: The blue crystal is located IN his chest. Used to measure his stamina instead of his time limit.

**True Form**

* **Guardian Armor**: True Form's Ultra Armor are several times stronger than Default form. Meaning he can withstand more punishment than before.
* **Guardian Protectors**: The golden protectors on his chest all the way to his back and shoulders. Like most Ultras with protectors, it is the most durable part of his anatomy. Shoulder pads, yeah.
* **Guardian Crystal**: The crystal on his forehead. It can be used to manipulate energy.
* **Guardian Gauge**: The uniquely-shaped Life Gauge on his chest. It is used to measure his Stamina.
* **Benevolent Crystals**: His original Bracer evolves into the spiky, Benevolent Crystals located on his forearms and forelegs whenever he transitions into his true form. It can be used to manipulate a type of energy called “Vajranium”. The crystals are sharp enough to be used as a cutting weapon.
* **Vajranium Energy**: A type of Spacium Energy only exclusive to Nioh. Other than working virtually similar to regular Spacium Energy, it has the unique property of imploding ions from a target, causing the impact of where the Vajranium Energy hit to emit electricity.

**Forms**

* Default/Devolved

This is Nioh's Default Form. Devolved from his true form. It lacks protectors and the usual coloration of an Ultra, making him no stronger than the average Inter Galactic Defense Force member.

* **Maximum Running Speed**: Mach 3
* **Maximum Underwater Speed**: Mach 2.5
