Ultraman Zero: The Revenge of Belial (2010) Timeline Explained – Every Event in Order

Ultraman Zero possesses Run because his energy reserves are draining rapidly since the suns of the alternate universe cannot recharge his powers. By merging with Run, he gains a stable human vessel that conserves energy while keeping the host safe from Belial's forces. He also adopts Run's identity to protect both himself and the brothers from being targeted as known Ultras.

Foreshadowing: Zero had already depleted energy during the initial battle with the Legionoids, and the bracelet's power was shown to be finite.

After Ultraman Zero collapses from exhaustion following his battle with Arch Belial, Ultraman Noa intervenes by resurrecting him and granting him the Shield of Baradhi's restored power. This divine gift channels the ancient shield's energy directly into Zero, unlocking his Ultimate form. Empowered as Ultimate Zero, he unleashes the Final Ultimate Zero attack that finally destroys Arch Belial.

Foreshadowing: The Shield of Baradhi's disintegration into sand earlier suggested its power still existed somewhere in the universe.

When Ultraman Zero and his allies reach the Shield of Baradhi beneath the Planet of Mirrors, they discover that centuries of decay have reduced the once-mighty artifact to sand. The shield crumbles at their feet just as they try to claim it, making their entire quest seem pointless. Its power is later restored off-screen by Ultraman Noa, who channels it into Zero to create the Ultimate form.

Foreshadowing: Mirror Knight's warning about the planet's ancient ruins hinted that something precious had been lost to time.

Glenfire appears to sacrifice himself when he ignites the Space Nitromethane to destroy the Legionoid ambush, but he survives off-screen and reappears during the final battle against Arch Belial. His fiery nature and mastery over flame likely allow him to withstand or escape the blast he created. His return rallies the exhausted heroes at the most critical moment of the fight.

Foreshadowing: Glenfire's introduction as the leader of the Pirates of Flames established his exceptional control over fire-based powers.

After witnessing his generals Darkgone and Iaron fall in battle, Belial absorbs the harvested energy from the emeralds across the universe to power himself up. The emerald energy warps his body into the monstrous Arch Belial, a towering giant far stronger than his previous form. This transformation is his last resort to overwhelm Ultraman Zero after his initial Deathcium Ray attack failed to finish the fight.

Foreshadowing: Belial's earlier conquest of Esmeralda was driven by his need to harvest emerald energy for exactly this kind of power-up.

During their battle on the 2-D Planet of Mirrors, Ultraman Zero defeats Mirror Knight physically and then purges the dark corruption energy that Belial had embedded inside him. Once the darkness is expelled, Mirror Knight's true heroic nature returns and he willingly joins the quest. He then reveals the location of the Shield of Baradhi beneath the planet's surface, becoming a crucial ally.

Foreshadowing: Mirror Knight's initial hostility and strange behavior on the Planet of Mirrors signaled he was being controlled rather than acting of his own will.

Emerana transfers her own life energy into the sentient ship Jean-Bird to revive it after it takes heavy damage during the battle against Iaron and Darkgone. Her royal energy, tied to Esmeralda's power source, triggers Jean-Bird's transformation into the combat-ready Jean-Bot. Though she falls during the act, her sacrifice enables the allies to eliminate Belial's remaining generals and turn the tide of the war.

Foreshadowing: Jean-Bird was revealed to have deep ties to the Esmeraldan royal family, hinting at a deeper bond between the princess and the ship.

After the battle, Ultraman Zero separates from Run's body so the brothers can return to a peaceful life, but he chooses to remain in the universe he helped save. He is moved by the friendships he formed with Nao, Princess Emerana, Glenfire, and Mirror Knight throughout the journey. Together they form the team Ultimate Force Zero, choosing collaboration over returning alone to Nebula M78.

Foreshadowing: Zero's growing attachment to Run and Nao throughout the film foreshadowed his unwillingness to leave them behind.

The Ultra Zero Bracelet is a parting gift from Ultraseven, presented to Zero before he leaves for Belial's universe. It functions as a limited emergency power source, granting Zero three uses of additional energy when his reserves are critically low. Zero activates it for the first time on Planet Annu to save Run and Nao from the Legionoids and overcome his energy drain in the unfamiliar universe.

Foreshadowing: Ultraseven emphasized the bracelet's importance as a final gift, signaling that Zero would face severe power shortages in the alternate universe.

Ultraman Zero's energy signature is tied to the suns of his home universe, Nebula M78, so the foreign suns of the alternate universe cannot replenish his strength. This forces him to rely on limited reserves and eventually merge with Run to avoid depleting completely. It also explains why the Ultra Zero Bracelet becomes so vital to his survival on Planet Annu.

Foreshadowing: The Land of Light's defenders had already noted that the Darklopses' energy signatures originated from another universe, hinting at the dimensional rules affecting Ultras.

Legionoids are the mass-produced robotic soldiers Belial deploys across planets like Annu and the Pirate routes, serving as his primary ground forces. Darklopses are larger, more powerful combat units carried in robotic carriers, used for elite strikes like the assault on the Land of Light in Nebula M78. Together they form the backbone of Kaiser Belial's campaign of universal domination, with Darkgone and Iaron commanding them as generals.

Foreshadowing: The opening assault on Esmeralda was described as a Legionoid-driven conquest, establishing them as the standard enemy troops Zero would face throughout the film.

Kaiser Belial is harvesting emeralds from across the universe because they serve as a concentrated energy source capable of massively amplifying his power. After conquering Esmeralda, the emerald-rich homeworld of Princess Emerana, he begins collecting them from other planets to fuel his campaign. The harvested energy ultimately allows him to transform into the towering Arch Belial when his initial defeat by Zero seems inevitable.

Foreshadowing: Belial's specific targeting of Esmeralda's royal guard, rather than random conquest, hinted early that emeralds were his true objective.
