Multiverse

The Multiverse (多次元宇宙（マルチバース）, Maruchibāsu)^[1] is the setting in which all of the Ultraman Series shows and series take place in. The multiverse is comprised of a near-infinite number of separate universes, or Worlds (ワールド, Wārudo), with some having native Ultras of their own in some form.

History

The multiverse was first implied in Ultra Q and demonstrated in Ultraman Tiga, Ultraman Dyna, & Ultraman Gaia: The Decisive Battle in Hyperspace. The full extent of the multiverse was shown in Ultraman Zero: The Revenge of Belial. Since then it has been openly acknowledged and is a part of some plot points. In Ultra Galaxy Legend Side Story: Ultraman Zero VS Darklops Zero, an Alien Salome named Herodia and her henchmen attempted to gain access to the multiverse and conquer it with an army of Imit-Ultra Brothers (SR Team) and Darklops Zero. Kaiser Belial later launched two separate attacks on the Land of Light, from another universe. In Ultraman Saga, it was stated that the Ultramen had moved from not just protecting one universe, but parts of the multiverse. In Ultraman X, many Ultras from different universes visited X's universe either by accident or on purpose, but always with the same goal, to help defend it.

The Land of Light, with their superscience, has been making advancements into multiversal research, which has allowed them to interact with Ultras from parallel worlds, send their own warriors to fight in other worlds, and even summon Ultras from other universes.

Known Means of Inter-Universal Travel

Certain powers and/or devices: Devices such as the Ultimate Aegis or Etelgar's ship allow the user to travel to different worlds, usually by creating a portal. Some Ultras such as Ultraman Noa and Ultraman Tregear have abilities that allow them to traverse the multiverse at will.
Naturally occurring or artificial wormholes: Some wormholes, such as the Stargate in Ultraman Orb THE ORIGIN SAGA or the Gran-Sphere can be used to traverse the multiverse.
Flying beyond the universe's physical borders: Ultraman Zero did so in Ultraman Zero: The Revenge of Belial, though he had to receive energy from most, if not all, of the Residents of the Land of Light to do so.
