You can see it too The Star of Ultra

Far away Alone on Earth

Dedicating his life to defeating monsters

Any moment now He'll reach the burning town

With the echoing roar in his ear

He's returned He's returned

Ultraman

Featuring Light Monster Prizuma.

Bro!

Bro!

Oh, he's not here.

"World Lighthouses."

San Francisco.

Panama.

Magellan Cape.

Hmm. So this lighthouse is gone, huh?

Over the past week, from Antarctica to the south Pacific,

strange unexplained events have been happening.

Ships and lighthouses have been disappearing overnight without a trace,

and without witnesses, it's becoming an unexplained topic all over the world.

Go, I know what you're thinking, but we shouldn't move lightly.

Besides, we don't have concrete evidence.

Let's wait until Captain returns and reconsider it.

I think...

No, I'm sure of it.

Listen, Jiro. First, sunlight hits this mirror.

Dim the room and let sunlight through this thin space.

Set the two pieces of glass at 60 degrees

and, here, place a plastic bag filled with water between them.

Be sure there's no space.

Now we have a water prism.

See? It's working!

Wow, you're right!

Differences in wavelength divide the colors like this.

This purple place is short wavelengths,

and the red place is long.

These all mix together to make white light.

-What's going on? —Yo.

Go—san, don't turn on the light!

It's midday and you were all closed up.

It's a light experiment.

—Using a water prism! —Huh.

I was helping with Jiro's homework.

This is neat.

Well, the experiment's over.

Now you know what a prism does.

Now go over there and do your homework.

Where's my lens?

Didn't you leave it around there?

I'm not sure.

Where's Ibuki—san?

He's at the Terrestrial Defense Organization world meeting.

Then you haven't talked to him yet?

No.

Besides, I'm still not certain.

Liar.

On the phone you were pretty certain.

First was an Antarctic Weather Observation Vessel.

Next was a whaling ship in the Antarctic Ocean.

Then a sequence of lighthouses.

Here.

And here.

I get the feeling something is headed for Japan.

What a duty to be burdened with. And I thought we'd be able to return early.

Stop complaining.

—Drop altitude a bit. —Right.

They decided to seriously investigate the Magellan Cape incident during the meeting.

But we've already searched here thoroughly. There's no clues.

—Hey! Someone's there! —Huh?!

It's really a person!

Captain, he's still alive! He looks like a sailor.

Okay! Drop the rescue net.

Roger. I'll arrange for a hospital and doctor right away.

If he's a survivor of the incident, he must have seen something!

White...

A white demon...

White devil... Disappearing...

Turning white and disappearing...

Hey! Hang in there!

We're almost at the hospital!

Oh! Oh no!

What's wrong?!

I poured hot water in the cup and it broke.

Of course it did. If you suddenly heat something cold, it warps.

Oh.

Are you done with your homework?

I still can't find my lens.

Jiro, I'm going to take a little trip.

With Go—san?

Yeah. The two of us.

Take me with you!

There's no point in you coming. Look after the house.

Please, Go—san!

I can go alone if it's a problem.

—No, I want to go this time. I have to. —AWW.

Boring..

Huh? Something smells like it's on fire.

—Oh! —It's burning!

Leaving a lens here is dangerous!

—This lens was the culprit. —Huh.

Jiro, it was a trick of the light.

Living things need light to survive,

but if too much is gathered in one area, it becomes a powerfully destructive force.

Hmm.

Go and Sakata

drove towards the sea to the south, driven by a single suspicion.

Meanwhile,

at the hospital where the foreign sailor rescued from the Pacific was admitted...

Good work.

Oh no!

Did you see him leave here?!

No.

Impossible! No one else came in here other than you, Nurse.

There's no trace he left by the window. It's locked.

Right!

U-Um... I...

He suddenly began thrashing like he was in pain. So I thought I should call someone!

Hmm.

I can't believe someone so weak would be able to walk on their own!

What's this?!

It's some kind of clear crystal.

Don't!

We'll carefully carry it and analyze it at the lab.

Until then, this room is off limits.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir!

What?! There's nothing in here!

That's strange. I'm sure we put the crystal in here.

Maybe it sublimated like camphor does.

Captain, try turning off the lights in the room.

Okay, turn them off!

Yes, sir.

Oh! It's shining!

The crystal was still there!

That's right. It was just invisible to our eyes.

—Invisible? —It's transparent?

At first, it looks like a crystal, but becomes more transparent and shrinks.

Oh! It's disappearing.

The substance is completely gone.

It all turned to light and vanished.

So, the foreigner we rescued...

For some reason, his body itself turned to crystal and then...

Turned to light?!

I wonder if Jiro ate his dinner.

He's probably getting by.

Sakata—san!

What's that?

—Let's check it out. —Yeah.

It really came.

My quiz wasn't so dumb after all.

Yeah.

Okay...

Wait!

See what it does. We don't know what destructive power it has.

I'm calling MAT HQ!

Yeah.

Wow! Amazing!

It's a light monster! It's Prizuma!

This is Go!

MAT HQ, please respond!

MAT HQ, please respond!

I've spotted a monster!

Jiro!

Jiro!

Hey, Jiro!

Jiro! Run!

Sakata—san, are you okay?!

Jiro-kun!

Jiro-kun! The light! Throw that light as far away as possible!

Sakata—san, are you okay?!

Yeah. It's nothing bad.

Just my leg. Where I got hurt before.

We have to get out of here! Come on!

Quickly!

Sakata—san, go on ahead. I'm staying here!

But I can't drive like this.

You have to try!

Jiro-kun, get in the car!

Sakata—san, best of luck!

Okay! Let's try it.

It's the light! Sakata—san, turn off the lights!

Turn off the lights!

Jiro, get down!

Stay down!

It's hot!

Turn off the lights!

RETURN OF ULTRAMAN

Jiro-kun! Sakata—san!

Are you okay?!

That was horrible.

Where did it go?

Well, when the sun came up, it calmed down and disappeared.

Oh.

They're late.

Either way, a MAT Arrow wouldn't stand a chance.

That was a demon!

That's no normal substance.

It's a lump of light focused to the point of almost being solid!

That's why it goes after light.

During the day, while there's sunlight, it can absorb it.

But at night, it goes after artificial light.

Sakata—san's theory that it's related to a change in sunspots was right.

Yeah.

It must have been trapped in the Antarctic ice for a long time.

Due to a change in the sunspots, it awakened.

-It turns substances around it into light. —Yeah.

It's like a sort of powerful laser beam emitter.

It's hungry for light!

It will never be satisfied.

By absorbing sunlight, it gains powerful destructive energy,

requiring even more light.

It doesn't show up during the day because it has enough sunlight.

How can we defeat it?!

For now, we can't let anything shine at night.

That's not possible in modern civilization!

You think humans can live at night in any city or any place without using light?!

—But, that's our only choice right now. —Yeah.

We need everyone to cooperate and do things calmly or it could be disastrous.

I see.

I should go cool off.

Cool off?

Wait! Cool off!

That's it!

It was trapped in the Antarctic ice!

If we rapidly surround it with cold, we should be able to stop Prizuma's activity!

We might even be able to destroy it, depending!

But for that, we'll need absolute zero temperatures of minus 273 degrees.

Oh...

Absolute zero.

We can't just stop its activity. We have to destroy it!

Yes, this is MAT.

Huh?! What?!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Captain! Prizuma appeared in Shimoda and took out another lighthouse!

It's finally here!

Okay! Begin operation immediately!

—Yes, sir! —Yes, sir!

By MA T's request, all lights in the Tokyo area were turned off.

A giant city of darkness.

In the darkness, a desperate plan to fight Light Monster Prizuma was prepared.

Okay, let's begin.

Throw it some bait. Lure it out and let it grab on.

Okay. Preparations are ready.

Begin flashing.

—Oh! It's here! —Huh?

Stop the flashing!

Dammit.

Okay.

Begin Operation Freezer.

Roger.

Drop Freezing Missiles!

Okay. A little more. Just a little more!

Dammit! This isn't enough!

Okay. Attack from the left and right.

—Go, get over there. -Yes, sir.

At this rate, it'll be back to normal in no time!

What can we do?!

Oh!

I know.

I'll have to become smaller and get inside it.

Then, from inside.. .!

What's wrong with Ultraman?

Was he swallowed into Prizuma?

Even Ultraman can't do anything?!

The Freezing Missiles haven't completely frozen Prizuma. This is the limit.

Prizuma is hurting! It's going to explode! Look out!

Ascend!

That was...

That was a risky gamble for me.

In the bright light of the full moon, a woman's scream pierces the night.

Beautiful women are attacked one after another.

What is Vampire Alien Draculas?

Ultraman's in danger. Let's all watch again next week.
