Featuring Water Buffalo Monster Oxter.

Heave ho.

Heave ho.

Heave ho.

Heave ho.

Heave ho.

Oof.

Heave ho. Hey, give me your pack.

I'm fine.

I think we're lost.

I have no idea how much farther we have to walk.

Now hand it over.

Heave ho. Heave ho.

Heave ho.

Oh. Hey, what's wrong, Jiro?

It's a good thing we left Aki behind.

Why's that?

Because women get in the way at times like this.

Don't get cocky.

Heave ho. Hup.

Bro! Bro!

Whoa, hey! What? What?

There!

This horse votive isn't a horse but a cow.

Yeah. In India, cows are treated like gods.

It's a little rare in Japan, though.

Are you lost?

Oh, yes we are.

But it'll be hard to return to town now, won't it?

It'll be night.

That's why we thought we'd spend the night at this shrine.

What?

This mountain gets painted white with frost in the morning.

I don't have much, but you can stay in my hut.

Thank you very much.

-Bro! —Huh?

Look, mushrooms. They look good.

Oh, Professor! Professor, wake up.

Are you the owner of this hut?

It looks like you're lost as well.

Could you let us stay the night?

If you're fine sharing with these two, you can stay as long as you like.

Hold it right there.

Professor, go ahead.

Ah, right. Pardon us.

Pardon us.

It's an earthquake.

Yeah. You're right.

Bro, could it be a monster?

Jiro, stay here.

I thought I heard a roaring.

It happens once or twice a year, during the full moon.

It's a nasty voice.

Is there something where the voice is coming from?

A marsh, I think. A clear, bottomless marsh.

Is something there?

I don't know.

Ah, I'm sleepy. What's going on? Huh?

Mister! We heard a monster's voice!

A monster?

What are you saying?

There aren't even wolves in Japan's mountains, much less monster.

Exact“;.

Did you hear it, too?

Yes. I'm sure I heard it.

In such deep mountains, people often suffer identical illusions.

What happened to you we scientifically call, "mishearing."

Indeed.

Now let's get some sleep. Brr, it's so cold.

I'm not so sure.

Last night's voice sounded like a cow's made really big, didn't it?

Yeah. But it only sounded once.

It could have been our imagination.

Of course it was. Just your imagination. Yup.

No, I definitely heard it!

It was your imagination.

We have these scientists here. Why don't we have them check it out?

Hmm, what is it? Something peculiar?

We are folklorists. We travel rural areas studying various things.

—Show us whatever. —Right.

Actually, behind the shine,

there's a valley full of bones of some animals that are similar to cows.

Cow bones this deep in the mountains?!

Indeed, let's go right away!

Yes, there's definitely something.

Heave ho.

Heave ho.

Ahead is a steep cliff. Be very careful.

—Right. —Right.

Jiro, watch out.

Careful now.

Heave ho.

Whoa.

Heave ho. Heave ho. Heave ho.

Hey! Don't touch anything until I get there!

Yes, Professor!

Ah...

This is magnificent.

This is good. These are indeed water buffalo bones.

They must have lived here back when there was water in this area.

-It seems so. -Yes. Good eye, no?

There was a shift in the geology.

Water and food disappeared and thus the water buffalo's bones are here.

Bro! Then, the cow god worshiped at that shrine,

might have something to do with these water buffalo bones.

—Mitani—kun! Let's take lots for samples! -Yes, sir!

Yes, Professor, right away. Let's take them back immediately.

Oh, um, could you not do that?!

Huh? Why not?

If we can determine that these really are water buffalo bones,

we'll know there was water here and it would be a great geological find. Get it?

Well, like the boy said, these bones were probably worshiped at that O—ushi Shrine.

I'm worried about curses.

Curses? These are just bovine bones.

That's right. Such a thing is just superstition.

But, that voice last night was really big, right?

Professor!

—Huh? -Well...

Superstition or not, it's a creepy thing for the locals.

Perhaps you should consider the old man's feelings and settle for pictures.

What are you talking about?!

Listen, the big professors in Tokyo love it when you bring real samples.

—Heave! —Ho!

—Heave! —Ho!

—Heave! —Ho!

—Heave! —Ho!

—Heave! —Ho!

Heave! It's a huge find!

Now you'll be famous, Professor.

—Of course! -Yes.

—Heave! —Ho!

—Heave! —Ho!

—Heave! —Ho!

Say, mister. You said you were afraid of a curse, but what curse?

I'm not the first one who discovered that grave.

It was my son and his wife.

Where are they now?

I told them not to, but my son said,

"this could be worth something," and they took some bones to town.

After that...

they both disappeared.

Um, could it be they just ran off like some people do?

No. Nobody from the village saw either of them.

They must have been cursed by the bones and spirited away.

Let's hope nothing happens to those two.

Professor!

Come on, hurry!

Jiro, hurry!

RETURN OF ULTRAMAN

Do you really think a stone age water buffalo could have become a monster

and survived?

Hmm. It seems far-fetched, but I can't imagine Sakata-kun would lie.

Either way, a simple hiking trip turned into quite the adventure.

Yeah. There are places left in Japan still shrouded in mystery.

—Let's check it out. —Yes, sir.

Captain, let us know if there's anything. We'll be ready to move out.

Okay, got it.

There it is.

It should be behind Mt. Daio right there.

Okay. Prepare to land.

Yes, sir.

It's a monster! Ascending!

Oh! Not good!

Captain!

What?

I can't believe it.

The MAT Gyro is made from special steel that can withstand any chemical or heat.

Yes.

Go—san!

Oh, hey.

Sakata—san!

It's good to see you're all right.

It was quite a surprise. I never expected a monster in a place like this.

Jiro-kun, it's all right. Were you scared?

I'm fine! I was with my brother.

You've got spirit. Use that spirit to defeat the monster.

Yeah!

The man who showed you this graveyard and the ones who took the bones...

Three have been killed.

We shouldn't have treated the curse lightly.

-Fire! —Yes, sir!

—Sakata—kun. —Yes?

Is the monster in the marsh?

Yeah, I thought so at first,

but the old woodcutter was killed next to that old well.

An old well?

All right. Go.

Yes, sir.

Captain, perhaps the water of the marsh and this old well connect underground.

Hmm. That's quite possible.

MAT HQ! HQ! This is Ibuki!

Get over here with a chemical analyzer immediately!

This is a powerful type of saliva.

—Saliva? —Yeah.

I got it! It's cow drool!

Drool?

Yeah.

Captain, that monster used to be a cow.

I think so, too.

The underground here still has lots of water like long ago.

One water buffalo managed to survive and became a monster.

Now it hides and protects the bones of its kin.

It must be guarding the grave.

-Oh! -Oh!

The monster's mad!

Okay. Go, you fight on the surface.

-Ueno, Minami, and Oka come with me. -Yes, sir.

Listen. Aim for the throat.

If we get its throat, it won't be able to spit saliva.

-Attack! —Yes, sir!

Jiro!

Begin attack!

Bro, the MAT Arrow!

It's no good!

Okay, eject!

Dammit! If not the throat, aim for the head! Let's go!

Yes, sir!

Oka, are you okay?! Hold on!

Even Ultraman can't fight freely underwater.

After living a long time in the water,

Oxter could only breathe underwater.

Oxter.

Return to your kin.

I bet nobody would suspect that the bones of a giant monster lie

at the bottom of this marsh.

I kind of feel sorry for it.

It must be sad all alone.

The young boy, Teruo comes to MAT.

With an innocent face he gives Go a terrifying challenge. Who is he?

What is the Alien Zeran's trap?

Go's in danger. Let's all watch next week.
