Shota Hebikura(Jugglus juggler)

Height: 1.95

Weight: 100 kg

Tipe by blood: B

He is very athletic and acts as a reliable older brother figure to the team.Hebikura usually puts Haruki through intensive drills in the training room. Hebikura is also shown unfazed by Kaiju attacks on a regular basis, which is no surprise owing to his past experiences. Hebikura displays genuine concern towards his fellow STORAGE members as seen when he ordered their evacuation during Gillvalis' attack in the middle of a battle simulation,and when he denied Yoko's request to take Windom.

On the same day as Ultraman Z's first appearance and Genegarg's invasion, Juggler salvaged the Tiga, Dyna and Gaia Ultra Medals. He remained playing the role of captain, but assumed his Majin form to perform shady activities behind STORAGE's back, such as duplicating Haruki's Z Riser, clashing with Celebro on numerous occasions and fighting for the Beliarok's ownership to name a few. However in spite of his personal gains, Juggler developed a soft spot for his teammates and Riku, as he would resort to use whatever available methods to keep them safe. By the time Ultroid Zero started its construction and STORAGE disbanded, Juggler quit GAFJ as a whole and exposed his identity to claim the robot for his own use. Originally content on leaving Haruki's fate to Celebro, he relented and stepped in to rescue him at the last moment, forfeiting Ultroid Zero in the process. In the aftermath of Z's battle against Destrudos and the latter's reign of terror, Juggler amassed the former members of STORAGE, including Haruki, and began an effort to reclaim their headquarters. During the mutiny against SAAG, he revealed the truth about his identity to his comrades, and announced their final operation to save Yoko using the available SAA units. Piloting Windom as his Dark Z Riser was too damaged to function, Juggler and Sevenger/Inaba held Destrudos back long enough for Haruki/King Joe SC to punch his way into Destrudos to save Yoko. After Destrudos' defeat, Juggler returns to his casual dress where he stopped Celebro from escaping long enough for Yuka and Kaburagi to capture the parasite for dissection. Although Yuka asked if they would ever meet again, Juggler brushes it off and parted ways, taking his bonsai tree with him. His surname, Hebikura, is a pun of "Juggler", due to the kanji for Hebi (蛇) can also be pronounced as "Ja" in Go-onyomi, resulting to "Jyakura". In-series, this was one of the many subtle foreshadowing to "Hebikura" being Juggler in disguise. The Kanji for Hebi

Jugglus Juggler is capable of disguising himself as a human to hide within the society. His human form is a youth well-dressed in a tuxedo. From episode 17 to 23, his appearances changes, reduced to a black long-sleeved shirt and a black jeans while wearing a snake-themed ear-cuff on his left and had a different hairstyle.

As his true form is a black demon, Juggler wears a copper-colored hide/armor to sustain fatal injuries. This also allows him to survive from almost every near-death experience, such as Orb's Orb Supreme Calibur. The only time said armor failed was when he rescued Natasha from Maga-Zetton's Light Bullet explosion, creating a crescent-shaped scar on his chest although such action can be justified to the explosion size compared to his human height.

Juggler and Gai originally lived on the same planet and worked in the same rescue force. The Forbidden Forest While both are actually partners, when given the chance, they would compete with each other to prove the best among themselves. One day, both went to climb the Crusader's Peak, where Juggler was rejected and his partner Gai transformed into Ultraman Orb. Although he refused to be acknowledged as a supporter, he accompanied Gai on a mission as they learned of Psychi's plans to use the Bezelbs to rule the universe. They made a stop on Planet Rurin when Gai detected a cry of help, coming from an alien boy whose parents were being controlled by a Bezelb before said monster killed them. Glittering Star

After Gai/Orb's first battle, they left the alien boy at a nearby village and chased an infected Bemstar into space, crossing paths with the Kanon Royal Guards Micott and Ricca, eventually joining forces to go to Planet Zain, where the Bezelb nest was. Last Fellow Echo

Arriving at Psychi's base, Juggler held off several Bezelbs for the guardswomen to rescue their captain Shinra as he in turn saved Juggler from the effects of Kugutsu, using a seed from Planet Kanon's Tree of Life. Gai joined late with his senior Asuka but due to Psychi sabotaging their spacecraft, the journey back to Planet Kanon was delayed. Afterwards Tragedy

When in contact with other beings, Juggler has a smug behavior, but doesn't make much effort to hide his evil nature, by always showing looks of insanity and demonstrating odd behavior, such as casually reminding bystanders of human's mortality: how they will all die, like everything that is living.

In addition, Juggler enjoys fighting Gai in hand to hand combat rather than using his Jashin Blade, preferring to beat Gai on his own. He also can't stand the melody Gai plays on the Orbnica, and receives long lasting migraines if he hears it playing.

His relationship with Gai is notable, in that he has a long lasting grudge, and is always trying to get him to either fight him, or taunting him in several ways. This is however one of the leading factors to his mental breakdown, as well as his defeat when fighting against the Ultra Warrior in their gigantic proportions.

However, despite his claims to have forsaken his own light, his actions of rescuing Natasha in the past proved that he still has what remains of his past self. Of any character he has killed in the series, he was never shown to have directly injured any human. For once, even if Naomi willingly offered her own life to him without any regrets, he wasn't able to carry out the deed and instead saved her from a crashed Z-VTOL. Naomi's persuasion convinced him to fight alongside Gai/Orb for the first time in years and is willing enough to hold Magatano-Orochi's attack for Orb to finish it.

In his subsequent appearances, such as in Let Me Borrow the Power of Bonds! and Connect The Wishes!, Juggler still sought to outperform Gai albeit with less heinous methods, showing that he reverted to his past self in some ways. While still coming off as an unpleasant individual and motivated by personal interest, he is now more than eager to aid Gai and his allies in stopping a common threat like during the conflict against Psyqueen. Nevertheless, he proved himself as both a dependable ally at best and terrifying adversar
