Ultraman Nexus is part of the Ultra N Project. This was a trinity of Ultraman series that were interconnected. This included the Ultraman movie and the Ultraman Noa stage show. Contrary to its predecessors which were mainly for kids, it was targeted especially at adults.

Plot

The story is mostly centered around Komon Kazuki, rescue worker who was chosen and recruited into the Night Raiders, an organisation which defends Earth from the Space Beasts, which are monsters which appear and attack humans. A mysterious man named Himeya Jun receives the Evoltruster and the ability to transform into Ultraman, a powerful giant, who aids the Night Raiders in getting rid of powerful Space Beasts.

After transforming into Ultraman, he can shift into the red Jeunes form.

Ultraman Nexus

Dunamist

デュナミスト

The person who transforms into Ultraman is known as the Dunamist. From episode 5's Japanese title, we know that Dunamist means the "One of appropriate ability/適能者".

It is suggested that this is derived from the Greek word dunamis which means "miraculous power". Or dýnamis which is closer to the Japanese meaning, "able, having ability to perform". Thanks to people on Tumblr for explaining this.

Dunamist's Items

The Evoltruster. Himeya Jun firing the Evoltruster like a gun. Himeya Jun using the Evoltruster to fire a flare into the sky to call for the Stone Flügel.

Evoltruster エボルトラスター
The Dunamist's transformation device which allows him to become Ultraman.
The Evoltruster can also be wielded gun-like and is able to fire a powerful blast which can destroy weaker Space Beasts in just one hit, and also fire a flare which summons the Stone Flügel.

The Stone Flügel in Ultraman Nexus, used by the Dunamist as a form of transport and healing.

Stone Flügel ストーンフリューゲル
Spelled Stone Fleugal on the toy packaging.
Max speed - Mach 7
A flying stone device that allows the Dunamist to travel through the air, as well as healing the Dunamist from battle wounds.
Flügel is German for Wings.

Anphans

アンファンス Probably derived from the French word "enfance", which means "childhood".

The Anphans form is Ultraman's default form, which the Dunamist will become after transforming. It is mostly grey and silver, except for the V-shaped color timer which is red.

Finishers

  • Anphans Punch アンファンスパンチ
  • Anphans Chop アンファンスチョップ

  • Aura Mirage オーラミラージュ
  • Spinning Rush Kick スピニングクラッシュキック
  • Core Final コアファイナル

Jeunes

ジュネッス Probably from the French word "jeunes", meaning "young/juvenile".

From the Anphans form, Ultraman can shift into the Jeunes form, which grants him important abilities like being able to summon the Metafield. This form is used by Himeya Jun. It is mostly red with some silver and black, with a blue diamond-shaped color timer which flashes red when Ultraman is heavily injured.

Jeunes Blue

ジュネッスブルー

From the Anphans form, Ultraman can shift into the Jeunes Blue form, which grants him different abilities from the Jeunes form, save for the Metafield. This form is used by Senju Ren. It is mostly blue and silver, with a blue diamond-shaped color timer which flashes red when Ultraman is heavily injured.
