Fusion Up forms exclusive:

Protector : Orb has protectors in both Spacium Zeperion and Hurricane Slash forms, both of which are inherited from the Heisei Ultras, Ultraman Tiga and Ultraman Zero respectively. While following the similar marking and shape of the Protectors original Ultras, they do not cover the chest area due to Orb already having some from his Orb Origin form.

Transformation

Fusion Up

Gai first scans a pair of Ultra Fusion Cards in the Orb Ring, creating a projection of its two corresponding Ultra Warriors as the screen facing the respective angle of their faces. Afterwards, he performs a specific movement and raises the Orb Ring up which causes his body to transform into Ultraman Orb with his entire body being covered in a luminous silhouette. The Ultra projections shine the same color as their respective Ultra Fusion Card's attribute and combine with Orb to create their corresponding form. This caused his silhouette to evaporate and unveiled its corresponding form. After the rising sequence, Orb delivers a specific pre-battle catchphrase just before descending into the fight.
Despite the long transformation time, this was done in a time freezing sequence as in episode 5, Orb switches from Spacium Zeperion to Hurricane Slash in a moment in mid-air whereas Gai's sequence was supposedly longer than the intended time. If at any point the transformation is interrupted from within, the time freezing effect is lost.

Orb's Origin

Gai scans the Orb Origin card to bring forth the Orbcalibur and spin its wheel. Then he raises the sword upwards and presses the trigger, causing all four element symbols on the sword to shine and create an energy orb from which Orb Origin rises.
In Ultraman Orb: The Chronicle's first episode, Gai is seen transforming into Orb Origin in real time only using the Orbcalibur without having to brandish the Orb Ring or the Orb Origin Ultra Fusion Card, similar to his rise as Origin The First.

Orb's Origin The First

Gai presses the trigger of the Orbcalibur and raises it towards the air. Origin The First soon appears from a red background and approaches the screen while the background changes colors and rings of light appear.
In the final episode of The Origin Saga, Gai shouted Orb's name before he transforms, doing so in synchronization with his seniors.
The transformation can also be activated involuntarily by Gai, being triggered by the Orbcalibur itself, in real time. It places a ring of light on Gai's chest, and he grows to larger size in a pillar of flowing light, becoming Ultraman Orb. This only happens in The Origin Saga, during the first and last time Gai transforms in the series, and once in Ultraman Orb in a flashback Juggler had.

Orb Trinity

Unlike in Fusion Ups, his card components first circulate around Gai before he takes and scans them. After pressing the Orb Ring's trigger, the Orb Slasher materializes where he proceed to slide his finger downwards, before spinning his hands in circle and raises the weapon.
The summoned Ultra projections combine with Orb's silhouette but instead of evaporating, it absorbs nearby matter to unveil himself. Orb Trinity rises in a background of a galaxy and cyberspace, while crystal shards are dispersed in the background, before switching his arm position as he moves closer

Fusion Up

After Ultraman Orb loses his original powers, he relies upon the use of Ultra Fusion Cards that he acquires where he combines the power of past two Ultra Warriors. Each combination results in different forms, but while assuming them Orb still has traces left from Orb Origin, such as his Ultra Armor, red vector-shaped linings on his legs and a black-colored neck.
