Ultraman Mebius Side Story: Ghost Reverse (ウルトラマンメビウス外伝 ゴーストリバース, Urutoraman Mebiusu Gaiden Gōsuto Ribāsu) is a Japanese direct-to-video, serving as the sequel of 2006 Ultra Series Ultraman Mebius and taking place sometime after the final episode. Aside from original video work, it also received an expansion in the Televi-kun and Televi-Magazine publications in 2009. The series was released separately, The Dark Graveyard (暗黒の墓場, Ankoku no Hakaba) on November 25 and The Emperor's Resurrection (復活の皇帝, Fukkatsu no Kōtei) on December 22, 2009.^[1][2]

Aside from being Mebius's sequel, the time setting made it clear that it took place sometime after Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey and serves as a prologue to the 2009 film Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy, due to the involvement of Giga Battle Nizer. It also served as the final acting role for Seizō Katō and Daisuke Gōri in the Ultra Series. Both the entire film incorporated the element of chroma key and wire fu special effects.^[3]
