History

Goldras's presence was first felt by strange time warps that began appearing all over Japan, one dropping off a ship that had gone missing years ago in the middle of a city. Another warp appeared, dropping off a young woman whom Yazumi of GUTS had a past connection with. Finally Goldras himself attempted to enter the present time, but only appeared for a brief second.

As Yazumi and the girl bonded, Goldras continued to try to enter the present time by opening larger warps to allow him into the present. GUTS was soon launched into action to keep the time monster from entering the present. All the while, the warps Goldras had created began to suck objects and people from the present day and sent them into other times while dropping off past objects, threatening the Spacetime continuum
Spacetime
In physics, spacetime is any mathematical model that combines space and time into a single continuum. Spacetime is usually interpreted with space as being three-dimensional and time playing the role of a fourth dimension that is of a different sort from the spatial dimensions...

 until Goldras finally emerged into the present by a time storm it had created. GUTS opened fire on Goldras with everything in their arsenal, but nothing could pierce its armored hide.

Goldras attempted to escape back into the time storm to continue his spacetime chaos, but Daigo transformed into Ultraman Tiga and dragged the monster back. Goldras’s power was also too much for Tiga to handle (even in Power Form) and combining its natural durability with its superpowers, was able to deflect all of Tiga's attacks. Discovering Goldras’s horns were the source of its power, GUTS attempted to destroy them, but then suddenly coming to a realization. If Goldras was destroyed then there would be a huge risk of destroying everything that Goldras had taken from his time travel and alter spacetime altogether. Taking the risk, GUTS chose to fire and destroyed Goldras’s horns, leaving him powerless and allowing Tiga to unleash the Delacium Light Stream, killing the time monster instantly. With Goldras’s destruction, everything he displaced in time was returned to its proper place, including the girl Yazumi fell for.

 and King Goldras to attack Japan. The duo seemed indestructible, even when the air force launched an attack that was futile to their strength, and their rampage continued into the night. Super Alien Hipporit joined them in the rampage until Ultraman Tiga arrived to stop them. Tiga was able to handle both King Monsters until their master joined in the attack, and Tiga was overpowered by the Trio. Dyna and Gaia soon joined the battle, again evened the odds for Tiga. Gaia battled King Goldras by himself, and eventually the monster was destroyed by the Photon Edge.
