Bemular's History

Bemular is an enigmatic being who has both worked with and against the protagonists and antagonists alike, acting as a balancing force throughout the series.

Bemular was first seen twelve years prior to the present on video when Shinjiro was a child. His father, Shin Hayata, saw Bemular's Ultra-like image on a video recording of him blowing up a plane for unknown reasons. It was this image that triggered Hayata's missing memories of his time as Ultraman's host.

Two years later, Hayata fought and defeated, presumably killing the alien being. Bemular was believed to be dead but unfortunately, that was not the end of him. Seven years before the present, when the SSSP attempted to admit Earth into the Universal Alliance, Bemular was somehow resurrected, perhaps by the same force that created him in the first place, and became an enemy of mankind once again. He appeared to stop Earth's admittance into the Universal Community, however that plan ultimately failed. Since then, he either fought with Hayata several times or simply went into hiding. At some point in time, he learned of Hayata's son and set about to remove all of those with the Ultraman Factor.

Years later he attacked Shinjiro, chasing him across several rooftops until they reached a baseball stadium. As Bemular moved in for the kill, the timely arrival of Shinjiro's father in his battle armor saved the boy. After Hayata threw his son to safety into an SSSP carrier plane, the two fought, their dialogue revealing that they were nemesis to each other having fought each other for years. Unfortunately, Shin was now at least sixty and his old age slowed him down and he was gravely wounded by the mysterious being. While it seemed the old hero would soon die, his son appeared wearing the new more Ultra-like battle armor and took over the fight in his father's place. Bemular seemingly no longer had the advantage as Shinjiro was young and rather angry over his father's injuries. While the boy appeared to have the advantage, Bemular nearly blew his head off with a heat ray. For whatever reason Bemular decided to finish the battle and formed a massive sphere over his head, while Shinjiro prepared the Spacium Beam. In the ensuing clash of attacks, Shinjiro won, with Bemular's left side being blown off. To the boy's shock, the figure in the armor was not human, instead the visage of a reptilian creature with a mouth full of fangs who declared his name and flew of.

Sometime later after Shinjiro's battle with Alien Adacic, Bemular stood on top of a skyscraper overlooking the hospital where Endo was seeing his daughter Rena and watched the four-eyed alien that spied on them. He appeared to now be fully healed and his armor repaired. He spoke to some unknown individual over communications and declared it was time to move to the next phase of their plans, somehow aware of Shinjiro's and the SSSP's latest movements.

Bemular later appeared before detectives Endo and Kurata, alone at night. He declared that he wanted Endo to solve his case and stated that he had always been watching over the man. He was also mentioned by Shin in a conversation with Ed and Mitsuhiro that during their last battle Bemular was not serious and could've killed him at any time, bringing his motives into question.

He later appeared to Endo alone and warned him that Rena was in danger, before disappearing. Later that night, when Agent Adad attacked Rena and her fans, Bemular reappeared to help the alien fight Shinjiro and Moroboshi in their Ultraman suits. His stated reason for being there was that his organization sent him to assist Adad.

As he fought with Shinjiro, he chastised the young man's naivete and was in turn rebuked by him. When questioned why he was so interested in Shinjiro, he responded that he (Shinjiro) "was about to become Ultraman". When Alien Igaru revealed himself, Bemular took his leave, but not before telling Shinjiro to stay and see the world he blindly "stepped into".

During the confrontation with Ace Killer and his goons, Bemular confronted an Alien Awarzu criminal and learned the location of Seiji Hokuto and the team of assassins sent after him. The alien arrived after the fight, to find Seiji wounded and Ace Killer dead at the former's hands. He then offered to save the earthling's life, claiming "it is not the first time" he has saved a human. Shinjiro allowed him to remove the wounded Hokuto from the aftermath.

Three months later, Bemular appeared with Seiji to save a group of people from an alien in a forest. They then went to New York to fight against the Star of Darkness. The two of them helped Shinjiro hold up a falling building, saving Rena and a group of citizens. At the climax of the battle, Shin and Shinjiro fired their Spacium Beams at Alien Pedan, the leader of the Star of Darkness. Their combined efforts were still not enough, so Shin asked Bemular for help. He agreed to lend a hand, and the three of them finally destroyed the Pedan. After the battle was over, Shin revealed Bemular's true identity - Bemular was the Ultra that had united with him to create Ultraman.

Soon after the incident in New York, Bemular approached Endo and told him that it was time to let Rena know about her origins, as she hosted the spirit of one of the Ultras that had not been sealed within Nebula M78. He then went to Rena and told her that she was not human, which would explain her mysterious barrier powers.
