Ultraman

Featuring Fossil Monster Stegon.

Sir!

Hm?

Oh.

This looks like a rib fragment. Dig it up carefully.

Yes, sir!

Sakata, it's MAT.

They must be on patrol.

Oh, it's Go—san!

Hey, Go—san!

-Hey!

We're digging for monster!

What?!

Let's check it out.

Here.

Wow. This is impressive.

That's a monster bone.

Huh. Digging for fossils, huh?

This place is a prime example of the Jurassic Period.

It's a fossil treasure trove.

This is my teacher, Mr. Yoshimoto.

I'm Yoshimoto. It's a pleasure.

I'm Go of MAT. This is Minami.

Hi, it's a pleasure.

Sakata often mentions you. Almost every day in fact.

Mr. Yoshimoto knows a lot about monster.

We're all members of the Monster Study Group.

The Monster Study Group?

Well, I majored in biology.

So, I thought we could dig fossils while learning about evolution

and how Earth came to be.

I see. Having fun While learning, is it?

No wonder Jiro—kun knows so much about monster.

Oh! Look out!

Stop! Stop!

That's dangerous!

We haven't dug there yet! Please wait!

We're in the middle of a rush construction! Go ahead!

—Now move. —Oh!

Wait a minute!

Isn't this the fossil of a dinosaur's tail?

It does kind of look like that.

There's a fossil of dinosaur skin in the Natural History Museum in America.

Let's have the children dig this up.

This might be a dinosaur's tail.

What are you talking about? Are you trying to disrupt our work?

As MAT, we need to investigate it.

Right?

R-Right. We'd like about a week to check it out.

If this is a tyrannosaurus it'd be amazing.

It's got spikes so it might be a stegosaurus.

I can't hear a heartbeat. There's no problem here.

Well, we better be going.

—Yeah. —Okay.

Thanks to you we were able to touch a real dinosaur.

Look.

The children's eyes. They're sparkling.

I'm glad we could help. Excuse us.

Jiro—kun, later.

Bye.

So there's no danger to the children digging?

—No. There's nothing to worry about there. —Hm.

The children were really happy.

I see. In that case, if my son hears about it, he'll go running to join.

Phone call for Go.

Okay.

Yes, this is Go. Oh, Mr. Yoshimoto!

Yes. Yes.

I see. I'll ask.

The children are asking us to come see their research results.

I see. Why don't you check it out?

Yes, sir.

We'd be happy to. Yes, tomorrow is fine.

Thank you.

—What's this? —Are you ready?

Yes.

Then let's begin.

Okay!

—Sakata. —Okay.

The dinosaurs appeared roughly 300 million years ago on the Paleozoic Era Earth

and thrived from the Triassic to the Jurassic period of the Mesozoic Era.

This was roughly 140 million years ago.

In the world of dinosaurs, the strong kill the weak

in a harsh dog eats dog world.

Among the more violent was the carnivorous Ornitholestes and the Allosaurus.

They would attack the docile, swamp-dwelling

Brontosaurus or Diplodocus and feed on them.

How intense.

How cruel.

I wonder if Red King is stronger?

Around this time, Pteranodon and ancestors of birds, Archaeopteryx flew in the skies.

Oh, it's Rodan.

I saw Rodan Vs. Godzilla.

This is a dinosaur egg that was dug up from the Mongolian Gobi Desert.

Go—san.

Is that a Twintail egg?

I don't know.

It must be King Gidora's.

It must be Takkong's.

For 150 million years across the Mesozoic Era, the dinosaurs ruled Earth,

but eventually met their nemesis and were wiped out.

It was the cold.

The dinosaurs gradually stopped being able to move.

They lost the energy to find food.

Meanwhile, mammals were able to survive

by adjusting their body temperature to their environment.

Over the next 70 million years, mammals continued to evolve

and human history was made.

END

Wow, that's impressive.

Did you like it?

Yeah. It taught me a lot about Earth's 300-million-year history.

STEGON

Is this dinosaur called Stegon?

This was drawn by the children based on the tail fossil.

"Stegon" is a nickname taken from the dinosaur, stegosaurus.

Sir, let's go!

—Oh. —Sir, let's go. Hurry, hurry!

Okay, okay. I get it, I get it.

We're going to the site.

They've been looking forward to digging every day.

Give my regards to Stegon.

Okay.

—Let's go. —Let's get going.

Come on, hurry.

KEEP OUT TOUA CONSTRUCTION

What's going on?

It's dangerous! Go on home!

I thought work was on hold for one week.

—We've decided to blow it up. —What?

Don't blow up Stegon! Please, mister!

Yeah! That's cruel!

Please. Give us two days. No, today is enough. Let us dig it up.

We've already set the dynamite.

No! Don't blow it up!

Hey! Wait! Hey!

Stegon! Stegon!

No!

Stop! Let go!

Stegon!

Is it going to be okay?

Oh!

Oh, Stegon's all right!

-Thank goodness! —It's so big!

Few complete fossils exist in the world.

Please let us dig it up.

If things get noisy, our construction gets delayed.

Yes, sir. Hey, set up three times the dynamite.

Yes, sir.

Honestly, this monster is such a pain.

We're gonna blow a hole in its stomach this time.

Are you okay? Go deeper.

Yes, sir.

—Let's go. -Yes, sir.

Captain, where are you going?

The authorities have asked us to move out.

Your investigation skills are unreliable.

Oka.

What happened?

A dissolver seeped out of the dinosaur and melted a worker.

Huh?! What?!

Oh wow!

There's no radiation detected.

It's a powerful acid.

It the same as a dinosaur's stomach fluid.

Hm.

Hurry and get rid of it. Work has completely stopped.

Okay. Ueno, set the explosives.

Yes, sir.

Wait a minute!

Captain, could you hold off on blowing it up?

Huh?

It's the children's wish!

A man was killed. Are you going to leave such a dangerous thing alone?

It's alive.

The dynamite must have brought it back to life.

Captain. Please bury it again.

Yes, I agree. It's better than blowing it up.

Then what about our work?!

Is MAT not going to help a task of the government?!

We're blowing it up.

Oh wow.

Ready the explosives.

Ready to go.

Detonate!

Oh, Stegon's alive!

You're right!

Instead of being blown to pieces, it's come back to life!

—Ready attack! -Yes, sir!

Wait a minute!

That's a type of stegosaur and is a docile herbivore.

If you don't provoke it, it should be harmless.

You're saying let a dinosaur roam free?!

—Evacuate the children! Let's go! -Yes, sir!

Oh!

—Stegon! —Stegon! Please don't!

Jiro, Stegon won't die.

Really?

Go—san.

After a heavy barrage, the dinosaur burrowed into the ground and escaped.

This is a nightmare!

RETURN OF ULTRAMAN

Would you like some coffee?

The detonation order was a mistake. You should feel sorry.

Go.

Are you in a position to say that?

If you two had investigated properly beforehand, this wouldn't have happened.

The dinosaur was definitely dead!

The shock of the explosion resurrected it!

The dead don't come back to life!

That's right. It was always alive. Rather, it was in deep hibernation.

If you hadn't blown it up, it would have remained asleep!

Stop splitting hairs!

I'm not splitting hairs!

Stop it!

I don't believe the order to blow it up was wrong.

I can't agree!

I made my decision based on two points.

First, it was disrupting construction.

Second, that dissolver was a terrifying weapon.

As captain of MAT,

I looked at every possibility and believe I chose the safest option.

But...

Listen.

True, things turned out the way they did.

But, I intend to settle things myself.

Okay, okay. Okay.

Oh! It's here! Run! Run!

We believe the dinosaur is hiding in this area.

Therefore, Points A, B, and C...

We'll lay in wait in these points

What if it doesn't show up?

It's an herbivore.

There's no vegetation underground. It'll show up when it gets hungry.

Oka and I will take Point A.

Yes, sir!

—Kishida and Ueno. —Yes, sir!

You take Point C.

Minami and Go. You two...

What?

We're against this execution plan.

Do we have to lure it out and kill it?

—How can you call yourselves MAT members?! —Kishida!

But, these two...

Minami and Go are off this mission. Let's go.

Yes, sir.

I hear it. It's nearby.

Kishida, Ueno. Gather at Point A.

-Roger. -Roger.

-Now! —Yes, sir!

Head for cover. Let's go!

Yes, sir!

—Hey! Are you all right?! -Yes, sir!

Look out!

Oka, are you okay?!

I'm sorry!

Okay. Aim for its eyes with an anesthetizing shot!

If we get close, we risk the dissolver!

—It's okay! —Captain, I'll go!

Take care of Oka—kun!

Captain!

Captain's in danger!

Go!

Stop, Go!

Hey, give me that!

Let me see!

How come?! Give me that!

Stegon's going to be killed!

Ultraman! Please don't kill Stegon!

—Ultraman! —Don't kill Stegon!

Ultraman!

Ultraman's in danger!

Ultraman! Ultraman, you can do it!

Oh! The anesthetizing shot's working!

Hey!

—Oh! —Go!

Captain!

Are you okay?

Yes!

Good. Thanks!

—Let's go! -Yes, sir!

Oh, Captain.

Here.

—Hey! —Go-san! Hey, Go—san!

Go—san. Where did Stegon go to?

Stegon went to space.

To space?

Yeah.

It can hibernate without anyone disturbing it.

Hmm.

I can see Stegon!

That's a star.

Stegon became a star!

Stegon!

Stegon!

Now, next week will be the first time in Japan you can see the Ultra Spin Kick.

What sort of damage will this harsh aerial double kick do to the monster Mognezun?

Look forward to next week! Tune in!
