Nexus has become the main Ultra Warrior in the ULTRA N PROJECT media of the Ultra Series and continues to appear in later installments in this form despite his true and strongest form being Noa, although the latter did have several appearances. A distinction of Nexus from the other Ultra Warriors is his Energy Core, which he retained in all of his forms, which is used as the main logo of the ULTRA N PROJECT.[5] As Noa, he is acknowledged by the franchise to be the oldest Ultra in existence at the age of 350,000 years old, surpassing Ultraman King from Ultraman Leo whose age is 300,000 years old.[6]
Ultraman Nexus' grunts were provided by Yasunori Masutani (増谷 康紀, Masutani Yasunori), who did Noa's grunts as well.[7] As Ultraman The Next, he was voiced by Hideyuki Tanaka (田中 秀幸, Tanaka Hideyuki), the current voice actor of Zoffy in the Heisei Era of Ultra Series. In the series, Ultraman Nexus was played by suit actors Daisuke Terai (寺井 大介, Terai Daisuke),[8][9] who was also Ultraman Noa's suit actor[10] and sometimes by Hideyoshi Iwata (岩田 栄慶, Iwata Hideyoshi),[9] the suit actor of dark giants Dark Faust, Dark Mephisto and Dark Zagi. For Ultraman The Next, his suit actor was Keiji Hasegawa (長谷川 恵司, Hasegawa Keiji).
