In Ultraman Geed season 1 episode 11, titled "The Geed Identity," we follow the adventures of Riku Asakura, who is also known as Ultraman Geed. In this episode, Riku is struggling with his identity as a blend between an Ultraman and a monster, and the fear of losing himself to the monster side.
The episode starts with a battle between Ultraman Geed and a monster named Gigass. While fighting, Riku's bracelet breaks, causing him to transform back into his human form. He is saved by an old acquaintance, Sui Asukura, who he hasn't seen for years. Sui reveals herself as the creator of the bracelet and offers to fix it, but Riku is hesitant.
As they spend time together, Sui reveals that she created the bracelet as a means to control her own half-monster identity, which she inherited from her father, the legendary monster Belial. This revelation causes Riku to reflect on his own situation and the fear that he, too, could lose control over himself and become a monster.
While Riku is dealing with his internal struggles, the Earth is under attack by the kaiju, a group of monsters seeking revenge on Ultraman Geed for defeating them in previous battles. Riku, who is still using a broken bracelet, is unable to transform into Ultraman Geed without risking being consumed by his monster side.
Meanwhile, Sui's assistant, a doctor named Takayuki Tomoi, is revealed to be working with the kaiju, using Sui's invention for destructive purposes. As the situation worsens, Riku must overcome his fear and find a way to transform into Ultraman Geed and protect the planet from the kaiju invasion.
