Protagonists
Rei
Rei (レイ) is a human Reionyx, ZAP Spacy's latest member and the main protagonist of Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle and its succeeding series, Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey. He was once a baby that appeared during Bullton's attack on Planet Boris. During the series, he first appeared after being trapped inside the carcass of a Peguila. During that time, he was in amnesiac state, appearing to be hostile towards ZAP Spacy members despite saving their ship, Space Pendragon, twice and only cares about recovering his forgotten background. In the end, after being persuaded by Hyuga, Rei decided to join ZAP Spacy. During his membership within the ZAP Spacy crew, he was haunted by the image of the giant buried in the rock and challenged by a mysterious woman named Kate. At the end of the series, after defeating Kate, he discovered the woman as his older sister and the buried giant is Ultraman, whom asked his help to free him. Rei as well had awakened his true potential as a Reionyx, becoming a figure known as Reimon (レイモン). During the second season, Rei comes face-to-face with other Reionyx in a battle against each other to determine the successor of Alien Raybrad to conquer the galaxy. Among them was Grande, an Alien Keel whom claimed to be his rival. Unlike the others, Rei on the other hand competed in the battle only to face Alien Raybrad, not wanting to inherit the latter's role as the ruler of the galaxy. In the middle of the series, he also encounter another giant, Ultra Seven, which he rescued from Armored Darkness. After facing Alien Raybrad, he was finally brought to Earth for the first time. Sometime later in the movie, having recently finished Zaragas, Rei was spirited by Mebius, as he was predicted to be the chosen one capable of defeating Ultraman Belial. However, during the remaining Ultras' battle against Belial's army, he was corrupted by Belial into joining his legion until ZAP Spacy members awakened him from his senses. Followed by the arrival of Zero and the Leo Brothers, Rei was able to hijack Belial's Giga Battle Nizer to ease the Ultra's battle, allowing Zero to finish him.
As a Reionyx, Rei's initial monsters in his Battle Nizer was Gomora, before he adopted Litra and Eleking during the series' progress. After Eleking's death by Grande's tyrant, this puts Rei into depression until Kate upgraded his Battle Nizer, allowing him to be on par with Grande's Tyrant. He temporarily was given Miclas by Ultra Seven as a gratitude for saving him from the Armored Darkness until his final battle with Alien Raybrad. As Reimon, he is a mysterious alien who looks highly similar to Ultraman. He is the result of a fusion between an Alien Raybrad, and a human, Rei. When placed under extreme stress, he unleashes a Burst Mode (バーストモード Bāsuto Mōdo), which also affects his Gomora. When in burst mode, his blue markings change to a crimson colour, black markings cross his body, and his eyes turn bright red. In this state, he becomes so powerful that he often loses his ability to tell his friends and enemies apart, but can be calmed back to his normal form with some effort. Reimon's attacks are Sun Reionic Lash (サンレイオニックラッシュ San Reionikku Rasshu) and Reimium Reviving Ray (レイミアム光線再生 Reimiamu Kōsen Saisei), the latter was used to revive Ultraman.

Rei at that time manages to save her by absorbing her into his Battle Nizer and healed her. During the battle, Litra (S) is capable of launching fireballs and utilizes Fire Litra (ファイヤーリトラ Faiyā Ritora) mode to initiate flame-based attacks.
- Space Monster Eleking (宇宙怪獣エレキング Uchū Kaijū Erekingu, 8-12, (MMB), 2,6,7, (NEO)):[6] Rei's latest monster, which he acquired after Gomora defeated it in a battle that nearly puts the fate of Planet Boris at stake.
