Ultraman Ginga S[]
Arisa and Gouki's initial encounter with Hikaru.
Arisa made her first appearance near the UPG Live Base while One Zero was secretly conducting Victorium excavation work. The excavation activities resulted in Shepherdon emerging from the ground. Upon receiving orders, Arisa and Gouki rushed to the scene to evacuate workers and engage Shepherdon in gunfire, but their efforts proved ineffective. At that moment, they coincidentally encountered Hikaru Raido who happened to be passing by. Witnessing Hikaru's attempt to divert the monster's attention by piloting the UPG-EV1 Schnauzer left a deep impression on Arisa.
However, when they attempted to shoot Shepherdon again, they faced a counterattack and were caught in the explosion, leading to their first encounter with Sho. After Sho and Hikaru left the scene, the Captain Jinno ordered Arisa and Gouki to track down Hikaru's whereabouts. During their subsequent investigation, they discovered new Victorium in the G7 area.
While EX Red King battled against Ultraman Victory, Arisa and Gouki arrived at the scene to provide support and engage in gunfire.

Upon regaining consciousness, they witnessed the initial clash between Ginga and Victory, leaving them with a deep impression of the existence of the two Ultras.The Opening Force

Arisa becomes a shooter at Victorium Cannon.
When Koyama and other high-ranking officials from the International Defense Organization took over the management of UPG Live Base, Arisa due to her crucial role in the operation of the Victorium Cannon, remained the only UPG member who was not dismissed. She assumed the position of the shooter for the Victorium Cannon. Under pressure from Koyama, she was forced to fire the Victory Cannon at Vorst, successfully eliminating the adversary but causing significant destruction to the surrounding landscape.Split! UPG
As she personally triggered the Victorium Cannon, Arisa deeply felt the overwhelming power emanating from the weapon, plunging her into a state of extreme hesitation and fear. When Koyama, in order to protect the UPG base, once again ordered her to fire at Hyper Zetton, including Ginga, she opposed Koyama's command and expressed, "It is wrong to pursue peace at the expense of sacrificing others." However, her act of defiance resulted in her being held hostage by Koyama. But at that moment, Captain Jinno and the UPG team seized the opportunity to counterattack, rescuing her and the imprisoned Sho, This allowed Arisa to return to the UPG team under Captain Jinno's leadership.Resurrection of Lugiel
During the battle, when Dark Lugiel was revived by Exceller's absorption of Victorium energy and merged with the out-of-control Victorium Cannon and UPG Live Base to become Vict Lugiel, Arisa was saved by Mana, and together with the UPG members, they discovered the true identities of Hikaru and Sho as Ginga and Victory.The Adventure Called Life
