Over time Riku gained, new forms from the Capsules he obtained and was joined by his father's nemesis Ultraman Zero. Regardless of the public opinion regarding Geed (either his similarity to Belial or the fact that his allegiance is still ambiguous), Riku decided to use his newfound power to protect humanity. Of course, Riku as well immediately learned of his true heritage as Belial's son from the Nebula House operator, RE.M.
In the past, Geed was created by Ultraman Belial and Kei Fukuide, essentially creating an artificial Ultra by growing Riku Asakura from Belial's genetic material.ġ9 years later, after a series of events that led to the young boy's adoption of his mantle as an Ultraman (to which he christens as "Ultraman Geed"), Belial and Kei put their long term plan into motion by having him fighting against monster attacks while harvesting the Ultra Capsules from Little Star hosts. The Symbol of Geed Ultraman Geed Discovering His Identity Ultra Fight Orb This illusion covers the identity of his murderer, Ultraman Belial, ironically the person Reibatos tried to revive with the last bit of his strength. 'germinated' his knowledge of his true self.Įven before his conception, Geed's image was first seen by Reibatos as he receives the predictions of the future in his last moments. In addition to this, Geed as Riku spent many years not knowing of his past, until RE.M. For 'seed', this may refer to how Geed was grown from Belial's genetic material. Alternatively, as the cloned son of Belial, he bears nearly identical genes to his father. The word "Gene" refers to the DNA of each Ultras respectively, contained within the Ultra Capsules. His name could also be derived from the words " Gene" ( ジーン Jīn) and "Se ed" (シー ド Shī do). Riku came up with the name himself, and is derived from his motto "Sittin g around doing nothing will get us nowhere! ( ジーッとしてても ドーにもならねえ! Jīttoshite temo dōnimo naranē!)", though it is confirmed later in the series that his name comes from the words " Gene" and " Destiny", with the D and E in "Destiny" swapping places.
