What Happens in Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends The Movie: Full Plot Summary

The whole story of Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends The Movie (2009) explained, from the opening scene to the final frame: every key event, every twist and what it all adds up to. Read it as a quick recap before the sequel, to check a scene you missed, or to finally understand what really happened.

After a fierce battle against Bemular on a desolate moon, Ultraman Mebius returns to his home, the planet Ultra, which is also known as the Land of Light in Nebula M78. Upon his arrival, he joyfully reunites with fellow Ultramen, including Ultraman, Zoffy, and Ultraseven. Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Ultra's orbit lies the Belial Prison, where a cunning alien named Zarab disguises himself as an Imitation Ultraman. He treacherously incapacitates the guards and utilizes the powerful Giga Battlenizer to release the prison's sole inmate—the malevolent Ultraman, known as Ultraman Belial.

Expecting a partnership, Zarab is shockingly killed by Belial, who then retrieves the Giga Battlenizer just as he is confronted by a squadron of Ultras led by Ultraman Taro. Overwhelmingly powerful, Belial swiftly defeats the squadron and continues his rampage, overpowering every remaining Ultra in the Land of Light. This includes his former allies, Ultraman Ken, the Father of Ultra, and Ultrawoman Marie, the Mother of Ultra, as he sets his sinister sights on the Plasma Spark Tower, a crucial source of life for the planet. As the world begins to freeze due to Belial's onslaught, Ultraman and Ultraseven make a desperate stand to save what's left of their home, even as Taro tries to protect the last vestige of hope against utter destruction.

In the aftermath of Belial's chaos, Mebius returns to a tragic and frozen wasteland, guided by Ultraman and Ultraseven to seek out Rei, who possesses the key to their salvation. Following their previous encounter with Alien Reiblood, the ZAP Spacy group arrives on Dent, a planet resembling Earth, where Rei and his companion, Gomora, have just vanquished a Zaragas. In a remarkable twist, Mebius appears before Rei in his human form, Mirai Hibino. Mirai explains the origins of Planet Ultra and the vital role of the Plasma Spark—created to replace the dying sun of M78, it allowed Ultramen to flourish as protectors against Kaijus, birthed from the very radiation that also elevated Ultramen. However, Belial presents a grim exception, as his unquenchable thirst for power prompts his banishment after nearly wrecking their world.

Having allied with Alien Reiblood, Belial further descends into darkness, becoming an Ultraman-Reionics. His powers enable him to harness and control countless Kaijus with the Giga Battlenizer, leading to the disaster known as the Belial Revolt, where he almost conquered the Land of Light before being confined to the newly constructed Space Prison by Ultraman King. With Zarab’s deceit, he has now escaped and plots to resurrect his formidable army with the power of the Plasma Spark, and Rei ultimately agrees to aid in their fight against this formidable foe.

Rei and Mirai embark toward the Plasma Spark Tower on the now-frozen surfaces of Ultra but are thwarted in their path by an ambush from Alien Shaplay, who is accompanied by minions—a Dorako, a Bemstar, and a Salamandora—sent by Belial. During this fierce clash, Mirai's Mebium Brace becomes compromised by the Shaplay, putting him at a disadvantage. Fortunately, Ultraman and Ultraseven, disguising themselves as human forms, intervene just in time to assist. They bring forth their Capsule Kaijus, including Windom, Miclas, and Agira, successfully overcoming the monstrous threats. As their journey progresses, they learn of another Ultraman who could potentially help, but Ultraseven discerns this individual was also exiled from the Land of Light.

Upon arriving at the tower, they encounter a vengeance-fueled Shaplay while Rei and Gomora face the deadly Black King. After overcoming these obstacles, Ultraman Taro unites their remaining strength, channeling the last of the Plasma Spark's light to empower them into their original Ultraman forms in a desperate final effort to reclaim the Plasma Spark from Belial. Meanwhile, on a distant desert planet, another Ultraman, known as Zero, undertakes vital training under the watchful eye of Ultraman Leo while Ultraman King observes.

As the battle heightens at the Kaiju Graveyard, the Ultramen, along with Rei's Kaijus, confront Belial's monstrous army. During this tumultuous encounter, Belial feels a strange kinship with Rei, attempting to sway him to join his dark cause. When Rei steadfastly refuses, Belial uses his powers to forcefully manipulate the human into his Burst Mode, leaving him perilously under Belial's control. Not to be outdone, Gomora transforms into Reionic Burst Mode, attacking the Ultramen while Ultraseven suffers grievous injuries. Meanwhile, the ZAP Spacy crew strive to locate Rei, only to be ambushed—but they are fortuitously rescued by Ultraman Dyna, who pledges to assist them in reaching the Kaiju Graveyard after acquiring information about Rei's whereabouts.

In an intense showdown, Ultraman Dyna engages Belial, while the ZAP Spacy crew successfully pull Rei from the throes of his Burst Mode. Belial, refusing to relent, aims to eliminate the humans but suffers pushback when Ultraseven heroically steps in to absorb a fatal blow. Administering the last vestiges of his power, Ultraseven dispatches his Eye Slugger to the desert planet just as Ultraman Zero successfully completes his training by rescuing a Pigmon in distress. Both Leo and Ultraman King illuminate the truth to Zero regarding his lineage, revealing that Ultraseven is his father and guiding him to avoid the same destructive path chosen by Belial.

Upon grasping this profound truth, Zero discards his training gear and races toward the battle at the Kaiju Graveyard, introducing himself as Ultraman Zero. In a heart-wrenching moment, as Ultraseven falls in battle, a furious Zero unleashes his full might upon Belial, vanquishing the Kaiju army before confronting the evil Ultraman directly. The clash that follows is monumental, culminating in Zero disarming Belial of the Giga Battlenizer and sending him plummeting into a river of molten lava. However, the spirits of Belial's defeated Kaijus amalgamate into a colossal exosuit-like creature dubbed Belyudra, overpowering the Ultramen once more.

Just when all hope seems lost, Rei channels the Giga Battlenizer, disrupting the connection that binds Belial to the Kaijus. This diversion opens the way for Zero to harness energy from the restored Plasma Spark, empowering him to finally bring an end to Belial's reign of terror as he is engulfed by Belyudra in a cataclysmic explosion. With Belial defeated and the Plasma Spark reinstated to its rightful location, the ZAP Spacy team achieve a remarkable milestone as they set foot on the Land of Light, bidding farewell to Ultraman and Mebius, while Dyna decides to accompany them for a while longer in his human form, Shin Asuka. The remaining Ultras gather to listen to a stirring address from Ultraman King, who emphasizes the necessity to remain vigilant against impending threats to their universe. Meanwhile, an unexpected revelation emerges from the ashes, as a scarred Belial is unveiled, having survived the destruction of Belyudra, hinting that the battle between good and evil is far from over.

Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends The Movie Plot Explained: Your Questions Answered

The questions people ask most about Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends The Movie (2009): what happens in the confusing scenes, why the characters do what they do, the twists, hidden details and what the ending means. Each answer contains spoilers.

Q1

Why did Ultraman Belial attack the Land of Light?

Belial attacked the Land of Light because he was consumed by an unquenchable thirst for power after being exiled from Ultra. Having allied with Alien Reiblood and become an Ultraman-Reionics, he sought to reclaim the Plasma Spark, the energy source that sustains the planet and the Ultras, in order to resurrect his monstrous army and dominate the cosmos.

  • belial
  • land of light
  • plasma spark
  • reionics
  • ultraman
Q2

Why did Belial kill Zarab right after being freed?

Belial killed Zarab because he had no intention of sharing power or forming an alliance. Zarab had merely served as a useful pawn to disable the prison guards and unlock his cell, and once the Giga Battlenizer was in Belial's hands, Zarab became expendable. This moment immediately establishes Belial as a villain who betrays even those who help him.

  • zarab
  • belial
  • giga battlenizer
  • prison
  • imitation ultraman
Q3

What caused the Land of Light to freeze over?

The Land of Light froze because Belial's assault on the Plasma Spark Tower disrupted the energy that sustains the planet. The Plasma Spark had originally been created to replace M78's dying sun, so when Belial targeted it, the entire world lost its warmth and light, transforming Ultra into a desolate, frozen wasteland.

  • plasma spark
  • land of light
  • frozen
  • nebula m78
  • belial
Q4

Who is Rei and what is his connection to Belial?

Rei is a Reionics, a human infused with Ultra cells that allow him to bond with and control Kaijus, much like Belial. This Reionics heritage makes him uniquely important to the fight, but it is also why Belial feels a kinship with him and tries to recruit him to the dark side during the Kaiju Graveyard battle.

Foreshadowing: Rei's unusual bond with Gomora and his latent powers hint early on that he is more than an ordinary human.

  • rei
  • reionics
  • gomora
  • kaiju
  • belial
Q5

Why could Rei use the Giga Battlenizer against Belial?

Rei could interfere with the Giga Battlenizer because he shares the same Reionics biology as Belial. That shared connection allowed him to disrupt the link between Belial and his army of Kaijus, buying Zero the opening needed to channel the restored Plasma Spark's energy and deliver the final blow inside Belyudra.

Foreshadowing: Mirai's earlier explanation of the Reionics curse establishes that only someone of that bloodline could challenge Belial's control.

  • rei
  • giga battlenizer
  • reionics
  • belyudra
  • plasma spark
Q6

Why did Ultraseven sacrifice himself in the final battle?

Ultraseven threw himself in front of a fatal attack meant for the human ZAP Spacy crew, absorbing the blow to save Rei and his friends from Belial. Knowing he was done for, he used his final moments to send his Eye Slugger to the desert planet as a signal that called Zero into the fight and revealed their father-son bond.

Foreshadowing: Ultraseven's earlier protective stance over the younger Ultras throughout the journey hints at the selfless choice he would ultimately make.

  • ultraseven
  • sacrifice
  • zap spacy
  • eye slugger
  • zero
Q7

Who is Ultraman Zero and why is he introduced so late?

Ultraman Zero is the son of Ultraseven, trained in secret by Ultraman Leo under the watch of Ultraman King. He was kept apart from the main conflict until Ultraseven's sacrifice triggered his arrival, allowing the film to use Zero's debut as both a heroic turning point and a generational passing of the torch.

Foreshadowing: Ultraseven's mention of another exiled warrior foreshadows that someone important is being prepared off-world.

  • ultraman zero
  • ultraseven
  • leo
  • ultraman king
  • lineage
Q8

How did Belyudra form from Belial's defeated monsters?

After Zero disarmed Belial of the Giga Battlenizer and cast him into molten lava, the lingering spirits of the Kaijus Belial had controlled fused together into a single colossal exosuit-like entity. Belyudra effectively channeled Belial's will, allowing the villain to keep fighting even without his primary weapon.

Foreshadowing: The earlier mention that Kaijus were 'birthed from the same radiation' as the Ultras hints that their spirits share a deeper bond with the Land of Light.

  • belyudra
  • belial
  • kaiju
  • graveyard
  • giga battlenizer
Q9

Why did Belial put Rei under his control during the fight?

When Rei refused Belial's offer to join him, Belial used his powers to forcibly trigger Rei's Burst Mode, hijacking the Reionics link so Rei would attack his own allies. It was a punishment for Rei's defiance and a way to cripple the Ultramen's fighting strength without having to fight them directly.

Foreshadowing: Mirai's earlier warning that the Reionics connection could be exploited foreshadows Belial using it against Rei.

  • rei
  • burst mode
  • belial
  • reionics
  • control
Q10

Why was Ultraman Belial originally exiled from the Land of Light?

Belial was exiled because his insatiable hunger for power pushed him to the brink of destroying his own world. After he nearly wrecked Ultra in what became the Belial Revolt, the Ultras had no choice but to seal him away in the Space Prison constructed by Ultraman King.

  • belial
  • exile
  • revolt
  • ultraman king
  • space prison
Q11

What is the Plasma Spark and why is it so important?

The Plasma Spark is the artificial sun created to replace the dying star of Nebula M78, and it is the source of life that powers the entire Land of Light. The same radiation that birthed the Ultras also gave rise to the Kaijus they fight, which is why losing the Plasma Spark would doom both the planet and its protectors.

  • plasma spark
  • nebula m78
  • kaiju
  • ultraman
  • light
Q12

How was Ultraseven revived after his sacrifice?

Ultraseven was revived because the restoration of the Plasma Spark after Belial's defeat renewed the life force of the Land of Light. With the Spark back in place, the Ultras regained enough power to resurrect their fallen comrade, allowing him to reunite with Zero in the final moments.

  • ultraseven
  • revived
  • plasma spark
  • land of light
  • zero
Q13

What role did Alien Shaplay play in Belial's plan?

Alien Shaplay was one of Belial's lieutenants tasked with ambushing the heroes on their way to the Plasma Spark Tower. She led a Dorako, Bemstar, and Salamandora to stop Rei and Mirai, and even corrupted Mirai's Mebium Brace to weaken him before being driven off by Ultraman and Ultraseven's Capsule Kaijus.

  • alien shaplay
  • dorako
  • bemstar
  • salamandora
  • mebium brace
Q14

How did Belial survive the destruction of Belyudra?

The film ends with a reveal of a scarred Belial emerging from the wreckage of Belyudra, implying that his Reionics resilience and sheer malice allowed him to endure the cataclysmic explosion. This cliffhanger sets up future conflicts and confirms that defeating him once was not enough to end his threat.

Foreshadowing: Belial's earlier ability to shrug off overwhelming force during the initial Land of Light assault foreshadows that he cannot be easily destroyed.

  • belial
  • survival
  • belyudra
  • cliffhanger
  • reionics
Q15

Why did the ZAP Spacy team go to the Land of Light at the end?

The ZAP Spacy crew was invited to the Land of Light because their help was instrumental in pulling Rei out of Belial's control and saving him from the Burst Mode corruption. As a reward, and to honor the bond formed between humans and Ultras, they became the first humans ever to set foot on the restored planet.
