The GUTS Sparklence (GUTSスパークレンス, Gattsu Supāku Rensu) is the transformation item used by Kengo Manaka to transform into Ultraman Trigger. While the members of GUTS-Select can only use theirs as firearms, Kengo's GUTS Sparklence is the only one that changes forms.
History[]
GUTS Sparklence[]
The GUTS Sparklence was a replica created by Akito Hijiri based on analysis of the Ancient Sparklence unearthed at the Ultra-Ancient civilization's ruins, under the request of Mitsukuni Shizuma.[1] Akito created a special GUTS Sparklence that could change forms, anticipating to become the Giant of Light himself to protect Yuna Shizuma, but he'd soon learn that it was given to Kengo Manaka by the Chairman with the sudden appearance of a Giant on Mars.
After Haruki Natsukawa's Ultra Z Riser was severely damaged by Alien Barossa IV, Akito transferred the Z Riser's energy into a Blank Key and created another GUTS Sparklence with Sparklence Mode for him to transform into Ultraman Z again.[Inter Universe]
Black Sparklence[]
Akito had failed prototypes of the GUTS Sparklence laying around in his laboratory. Ignis, who had secretly infiltrated again, had created Kaiju Keys for Horoboros and Zaigorg from the monster databank and took the failed prototype with him.[The Marked Captain: Detective Marluru's Case File]
Ignis continued improving the prototype. After witnessing Ultraman Ribut convert Yuna's GUTS Sparklence and Gomora Key to transform, Ignis tapped into the darkness within him and created the Black Sparklence (ブラックスパークレンス, Burakku Supākurensu) and Trigger Dark Key to transform into Trigger Dark.[Operation Dragon]
When Akito found out that Ignis was the new Trigger Dark, Ignis was detained within the Nursedessei and had his Black Sparklence and Hyper Keys confiscated from him. In the interim, Akito had found some problems with the Black Sparklence and had tuned it up in the event that it was needed to be used again. During the re-emergence of Aboras and Banila in the present day, as Kengo was temporarily incapacitated by Aboras' foam, Akito released Ignis from his handcuffs and handed over the tuned-up Black Sparklence, allowing Ignis to transform into Trigger Dark again and control the form with ease.[Demons Rampage Again]

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
The voice of the GUTS Sparklence and GUTS Hyper Keys are provided by Maxwell Powers.[3]
Notes[]
- The GUTS Sparklence is based on the Sparklence and the GUTS Hyper used by GUTS in Ultraman Tiga. The GUTS Hyper Keys are loaded into the GUTS Sparklence's grip like a magazine, similar to how GUTS Hyper's cartridge bullets are inserted through its barrel.
- When Ultraman Z's Hyper Keys are used in the DX GUTS Sparklence, it plays Z's catchphrase, I ask that you chant my name! Ultraman Z! (ご唱和ください 我の名を! ウルトラマンゼット, Goshōwa kudasai ware no na wo! Urutoraman Zetto!), in his voice after it is switched to Sparklence Mode.
