Did we ever learn anything about who the other two stone statues were in episode one of Ultraman Tiga?

Question :zero2:

I was thinking about this the other day. They seemed kind of important given that they were saved along with Tiga, but we never really find out what happened to them since they were destroyed by Golza and Melba. Apparently they were expanded upon in a Tiga comic which might not be canon? Is there anything more to them?

Supposedly in the original plan Tiga was going to absorb their remaining energy which allowed him to change between Power and Sky Type, they changed of idea and so the other two Ultras just exist without explanation.

It's been a month since I read the comic but it's a separate continuity so basically not-canon.

Last I recall them being with Tiga as the sole 3 giants on Earth. In a climatic battle, gave their energies to Tiga to defeat the Big Bad before Tiga disappears. But nothing else in particular.

Rumor has it in the show they were suppose to co-appear with Tiga as full fledge ultramans but I'm certain that's just a rumor.

Tiga‘s backstory wasn’t planned out yet like in the movie that came out years later. Tiga was propably just supposed to be a random ancient ultra like these two and was just lucky that Golza and Melba where not fast enough to destroy him too.

They official name is Tiga‘s companion. They where probably just friends of him.

From Ultra wiki:

"After Tiga turned to the light, he fought along side two companions against enemies. However, they were restricted from interfering with human decisions when some of them picked Gijera over the Ultras. After their duty was done, they were laid to rest inside a giant pyramid until the Earth needed them again, predicting the incoming calamity induced by the great destroyer. Their light essence departed for their home, leaving behind their bodies as statues."

Nah. They're just warriors of light that were meant to be destroyed in the script.
