GUTS had enlisted Keigo Masaki, ex-host of Evil Tiga to help with Tiga's revival. But the Ruler of Shadows didn't expect GUTS to band together to help stop the horrific beast. There was nothing that could stop it or the Zoiger from ruling supreme. Gatanothor now stood unopposed and allowed its darkness to sweep across the globe. Bellowing in triumph, Gatanothor struck the statue with one of his tendrils, knocking it down and leaving it to sink deep into the ocean. Gatanothor then used a beam which turned Tiga back into a stone statue. Ultraman Tiga arrived to face Gatanothor, but the Warrior of Light only had Daigo's light to power him, and he was easily defeated, despite the usage of the Deracium Beam Torrent and a modified Zeperion Beam in his Power Type form.

After dismembering one of the Zoiger, Daigo summoned his courage, and the love he had for the entire human race. The Warrior of Light defied Gatanothor's rule and pledged to fight for humanity. But unlike the last time, a titan stood in Gatanothor's way: Ultraman Tiga.

The Ruler of Shadows sought to have Earth revisit its dark past. But when the age of darkness neared its end, Gatanothor, along with its followers (called Zoigers) went into the ancient city of R'lyeh island and hibernated.ĭuring modern times Gatanothor and its brood awoke once more. After covering the world with perpetual darkness, Gatanothor's reign of terror affected all life on the planet. The Ruler of Shadows, Gatanothor is responsible for the annihilation of the ancient humans that roamed the planet millions of years ago, having surfaced from the mythical city of R'lyeh. 1.6.1 Chapter 4: 'Fierce Battle!
