Gurnate is the main villian of the series Ultraman Gizu, and Gizu's sworn enemy.

Subtitle: The Universe's Most Wanted Criminal (宇宙の最悪の犯罪者, Uchū no saiaku no hanzai-sha)

History[]

Pre-Gizu[]

Gurnate's origins are unknown, but his career as a criminal included the destruction of 3,211 different planets and the extinction of 45 sentient civilizations, before setting his sights on the Land of Light in Nebula M-78. Wearing him down enough for Ultraman Ken and Ultrawoman Marie (AKA Father of Ultra and Mother of Ultra, respectively) required the sacrifice of twenty-one Space Garrison members, including Ultraman Napoli and Ultrawoman Romi, the parents of Ultraman Gizu and Ultraman Damascus, and Ultraman Damon, elder brother of Ultraman Pythias. He would remain sealed within the Grand Singularity until just before the start of the Ultraman Gizu series, when he escaped and opted to flee to another universe, pursued by rookie Ultraman Gizu.

Main Series[]

Appearance[]

Gurnate has no fully defined physical form at this juncture in his existence, but he most commonly appears as a mass of crimson energy leaking out from a nearly featureless set of grey stone armor; his face possesses no features other than two rectangular luminescent red eyes. He is sometimes armed with an axe made of the same grey stone as his armor.

He often appears in a human form similar to how fellow Land of Light rogues gallery member Tregear disguised himself on Earth as Kirisaki. He often appears in this form using his Kaiju Gifts to summon monsters of the week.

Powers and Abilities[]

  • Dark Abilities: Gurnate has tapped into and wields control over Minus Energy to a degree rivaled only by the likes dark beings such as Reiblood and Gatanozoa. Whether he was born with these abilities or acquired them through some unknown incident has yet to be revealed.
    • Creation: Gurnate can use his control over Minus Energy to create kaiju and autonomous minions at will. This same ability is also used to create and summon his stone axe.
      • Kaiju Creation: By using one of his Cards of Darkness, Gurnate can absorb any living or nonliving thing into the card to convert it into a Kaiju Gift. He usually summons a kaiju from one of these Gifts by sliding it into his own Spark Loader, which he created specifically to mock his rival.
    • Twilight Field: Through precise application of his control over Minus Energy, Gurnate can create a pocket dimension to house himself and his kaiju army. This zone is far larger on the inside than on the outside, allowing him to hide his existence in plain view.
      • Giant Size: Gurnate can appear from within his Twilight Field in a manner that gives the illusion of great size, such as reaching one giant hand out from within it to retrieve a kaiju.
    • Lightning: Gurnate can fire dark lightning bolts created from Minus Energy.
    • Teleport: Gurnate can teleport anything he has encountered before to anything within his sensory range.
    • Empowerment and Revival: Gurnate can lend extra Minus Energy to kaiju and aliens to strengthen them, or revive recently deceased ones as long as they aren't too damaged.
    • Merging: If necessary, Gurnate can partially merge with a kaiju to strengthen it. Fully merging makes the kaiju unimaginably strong, but at the cost of leaving him vulnerable to dying if it is destroyed while he is merged with it.
  • Mind: Perhaps Gurnate's greatest strength is his mind. He is a keen strategist whose tactical knowledge allowed him to evade the entire Space Garrison on high alert after his escape from the Great Singularity, and his intellect may have been the key to him gaining his incredible power in the first place.
    • Sensory Abilities: Gurnate's sharp mind gives him incredible sensory abilities, which have helped him detect threats long before other beings perceive them, and see sources of potential for new kaiju to menace Gizu with. Gizu catching up to him was only due to his own cockiness, as he stopped paying attention to the Space Garrison while thinking he'd escaped scot-free.
  • Form: Any physical form Gurnate possessed previously was discarded with his ascension to his current level of strength. He can freely change his size, shape and form at this juncture in his existence.
