What's interesting is that Victory's concept seems like derived from Ginga's albeit the complete opposite. While Ginga Strium uses Ultra Brothers's powers, Victory use kaiju's. Ginga's Especially is a single beam blast focused on the chest (can also extend to whole body), while Victory's is rapid fire from limbs and head. Also forgot to mention, out of all NGH, Shou's attitude is the most firm or serious. He trains Daichi (X's host, happens in movie) without holding back which in turns also affects the latter attitude from easy going to firm person. In case anyone didn't know, Daichi/X once scolds Riku/Geed when the latter lose concentration mid battle because he met Z in UGF:DC, which can cause serious issue such as loss of comrade/defeat. A complete opposite of Hikaru's personality which is easy going and optimist.
*Ultraman Victory is probably the only Light Giant who plays an instrument, a "flute sword" as one of His Powers & Abilities (Don't count stage act or Orb because he plays it as a hobby, not in battle)* *-Change My Mind*
The Victorium Especially in final episode is different, he charges for so long and fire only five beams from his crystal all at once, rather than the quick charge & numerous shots when he fought Five King. Btw, in Japanese book source, Victory's attack is part of the Cosmos Miracle Especially, not only Ginga Strium + Ultra Brothers' Power, both Sho and HIkaru said the name of the finisher too.
I guess my first comment stands true to form, but there were a few things I didn't know about Ultraman Victory. I didn't know that Shou was assigned to royalty to acquire the power of Victory ( like a Prince or Consort. Or that they were called Victorians, not the ones from the UK / Great Britain of the same lineage/ name 😯! Good to know! ). Or it was Hikari who created the Knight Timbre for Shou to use to become Victory's ultimate form, the Victorian Knight. Next year ( 2024 ) will be the 10th anniversary of Victory since this year ( 2023 ) is the 10th anniversary of Ginga. A rivalry turned into friendship, good to have BOTH around! And one, actually TWO more things, Shou looked quite fashionable with that earpiece, or Victory for that matter with those V's all over him. And two, their presence in the miniseries New Generation Stars, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Start of these Heroes, and the Second Half of the Heisei Era, up until the end of that Tenure nearly five years ago. Great showcase of Ultraman Victory.... revised! And one more thing.... Happy 10th Anniversary Ultraman Victory, since 2024 is his anniversary milestone. Ginga's very fortunate to have him as a friend...and ally ✌️!
