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, a 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 silver giant, and aids the Night Raiders in getting rid of powerful Space Beasts.

- Metafield メタフィールド
- An orange-colored sphere which Ultraman summons. It teleports Ultraman, and any Space Beasts, humans and planes caught within it to an alternate dimension, likely to avoid causing damage to the surroundings. He has to be in Jeunes or Jeunes Blue form in order to do this, although it is unknown whether he is able to do so in Noa form.
- Dark Evolver ダークエボルバー
- Similar to the Evoltruster, it transforms the user into Dark Mephisto, a black, red and silver giant who is an enemy of Ultraman.
- Unknown Hand アンノウンハンド
- The ultimate villain who is eventually revealed to be Dark Zagi, who controls the Space Beasts and dark Ultramen. He is able to summon the Dark Field G, which is similar to the Metafield, and powers up Space Beasts within it.
- Prometheus Project プロメテウス・プロジェクト
- Visitors 来訪者
- Aliens who lost their home planet in an explosion, and seek refuge on Earth. They have a luminous and tiny body. The Visitors gave TLT the use of their "Over Technologies", like the Optic Camouflage and Memoraser, in return for preventing Earth from being destroyed.
- Potential Barrier ポテンシャルバリアー
