Super GUTS (Super Global Unlimited Task Squad)
Special Investigation Team Super GUTS or shortened as "S-GUTS" is the main attack team of Ultraman Dyna and the direct successor of GUTS, formed in the Neo Frontier Era (2017). Their main catchphrase is the English word "Roger!" when receiving orders, followed by the thumbs up gesture. Like GUTS, this group also had its branches from around the world in conjunction to the TPC. In Ultraman Tiga The Final Odyssey, most of Super GUTS members made their cameo appearances as Zero Training Squad, helping out the Artdessei crew in R'lyeh, while Nakajima worked in TPC Science division and Mai at that time still a middle school student. 15 after Asuka's sacrifice (2032) in Ultraman Saga, the Japanese branch of Super GUTS were transferred to the Mars division, with many of its members promoted to higher ranks. In Ultraman Tiga Gaiden (2038), the group is once more succeeded by Neo Super GUTS.
