A meteorite is headed for Sugihara Ward!

I'm Ultraman Z!

I followed the Ferocious Space Shark Genegarg to Earth, but it beat me.

I fused with Haruki Natsukawa,

an Earthling who obtained the Ultra Access Card, the symbol of a hero.

We used the power of my masters' Ultra Medals for Ultra Fusion

and managed to defeat Genegarg!

That's right. This is how Haruki and my Ultra-hot battle began!

I ask that you chant my name!

ULTRAMAN Z!

What is the most important thing to you?

I will defend it with my life!

Who do you possess this power for?

I'm seeking the meaning of true kindness.

Bored aliens that run rampant.

Giant monsters that are resurrected for excitement

I won't let anyone disturb the peace.

Hurry up! Call out my name!

Z!

I want to protect this planet

I want to see your smile

I don't care if I'm wounded and fall.

Strong, kind.

ULTRAMAN Z!!

A WARRIOR'S PRINCIPLE.

Ever since the space monster Genegarg attacked,

life signs of large monsters hibernating underground have been increasing.

So, Genegarg was like an alarm clock?

It's unsure, but we should up observation on confirmed hibernating monsters.

As for... Ultraman Z was it?

Huh?

You said that's the giant's name.

Oh, right.

I'll continue investigating him.

Okay. All of you stay sharp.

That's all. Dismissed.

'Kay!

Haruki.

How have you been?

Huh?

Oh, I'm perfectly fine.

I see. You almost died. Let me know if anything's wrong.

'Kay!

The Clean Infinity Power Plant in Tsukuba, Ibaraki will begin its test run next week.

A decade in development, all eyes are on whether it can produce power.

Oh, that what's being considered for our new power source.

If it works, it should produce electricity semi-permanently.

Huh. An impressive invention.

Doggone it! I'll invent something even better!

Just you watch!

She's strong, but you can do it!

- That's a cute watch, Yoko! - Thanks.

I won't lose!

What's going on?

Satoshi asked Yoko out.

- Seriously? - Seriously.

So, you'll date me if I beat you at arm wrestling?

A warrior lives by their word.

Okay!

Ready... Go!

Sorry.

Besides, I'm not into younger guys.

That's right. Yoko's a total...

Oh, Chief!

- Good work, sir. - Good work, sir.

Bako!

- Ah, Yoko. You were right. - Huh?

Sevenger's stabilizers were off by 0.25%.

- Ah. - I fixed it.

Thank you very much!

Yoko's a total gerbil.

A gerbil?

She likes older guys.

A 50-meter class monster has appeared in Atayama City, Shizuoka!

Get ready to move out!

- Roger! - 'Kay!

Ah, Haruki. Are you on, today?

We'll launch in 10 minutes!

- 'Kay! - Right!

- Watch yourself. - 'Kay!

Special Tactical Operations Regimental Airborne and Ground Equipment,

aka STORAGE.

An advanced team that uses robot weapons against monster-related disasters.

Outer armor all green!

Static electron brakes all green!

Limb rotational auto-motors all green!

Three external batteries loaded!

Gyro-balancer running normally!

Main camera and sub camera all green!

Target location weather clear! Five-meter southeast winds!

All good for flight!

Force gate open.

Their main weapon is the Anti-Monster Special Airborne Armor-1, Sevenger.

Lift up, Sevenger.

At 55 meters tall and 38,000 tons,

it is mankind's first anti-monster combat robot.

Fireproof bulkheads closed. Force gate close.

Cleared for takeoff.

Roger. Cleared for takeoff.

Sevenger, heading out!

Sevenger is landing. Please be careful.

Sevenger is landing. Please be careful.

No monster detected at target location.

Haruki?!

A lightning bolt came from nowhere!

NERONGA, THE TRANSPARENT MONSTER

It's a monster! It suddenly appeared!

The target appears to be able to become transparent!

What should I do?!

I dunno.

Fine! Let's do this!

Dirty disappearing monster! Where are you?!

Take this!

There you are!

Oh.

Z, but this is the perfect time!

Battery charge, rapidly depleting.

It's absorbing Sevenger's energy!

Battery dead. Sevenger active time, over.

The monster's burrowed deep underground.

Oh, Haruki!

Whew, you're all right!

You really can take a beating.

Yoko...

I... failed.

Well, the thing was invisible.

Let's figure it out. Okay?

Thanks.

Whoa! What the heck?!

What?

E-Excuse me.

Yo, Haruki Natsukawa, was it?

Why you... Why didn't you show up earlier?

Until we try as hard as we can and our spirit is properly motivated,

I'm afraid becoming Ultraman is an impossibility.

Is that how it works?

Wait. Just who are you, anyway?

Right. I shall reintroduce myself.

I'm Ultraman Z. I came from Nebula M78, the Land of Light.

The Land of Light?

I'm a member of the keepers of peace, the Inter Galactic Defense Force.

Right now, monsters that have swallowed evil factors called Devil Splinters

are going berserk across the universe.

Infused with the power of my superiors, the Ultra Medals were made to fight them.

But the space monster Genegarg suddenly attacked the Land of Light.

It swallowed the medals and items needed to use them and escaped.

I pursued it with my master, Ultraman Zero.

But he was pulled into the four-dimensional space.

So, I followed it to Earth on my own.

That got big real fast.

My speech ain't that strange so far, is it?

Uh, I guess not.

Excellent.

Anyhow, we have to collect all the scattered medals.

One question. How old are you?

Huh?

That sort of stuff is important. Since we're fused now.

I'm about 5,000 years old.

What? You're way older. I mean...

You're much older, Sir!

Forgive me for acting so casual with you!

Why are you talking like that?

It's Ultra-gross!

Quit it. Quit it.

I couldn't insult you like that, Mr. Z!

It's an honor to work with you!

Huh? Wait. Uh, you're so humble.

If I may ask, isn't this a little conspicuous?

I mean, won't everyone find out?

Don't worry. It's made from a material Earthlings can't see.

Really?

Nobody can see it and nobody noticed.

And it's not conspicuous.

Care to spar?

'Kay!

Whenever you're ready.

'Kay!

Well? Finished already?

Once more, please!

Bring it on.

'Kay!

Hey.

Once more...

please!

Okay. Come on.

'Kay!

Again!

That about does it.

Once more...

please!

Take this!

There you go.

Don't just rely on your eyes.

Thank you for... sparring with me!

Ow, ow, ow...

What happened to you?

'Kay!

'Kay isn't an answer.

'Kay, 'kay!

'Kay, 'kay isn't an answer.

Let's start the briefing.

'Kay!

Henceforth, that transparent monster will be known as Neronga.

It seems Neronga feeds on electricity.

Judging from the mysterious blackouts that have happened since it appeared...

It's headed for the Clean Infinity Power Plant? Ow...

There's no telling what'll happen if it takes the plant.

So, let's defeat it before it does.

But how?

Heh, heh, heh. We'll use the field emission bullet I invented.

If we apply a powerful electric field to Neronga and weaken its potential barrier,

electrons will be dispersed through the tunneling effect.

I see...

And that means...?

If you can hit it at the base of its horn where it charges electricity,

it'll disperse Neronga's electricity into the air.

Unfortunately, we only have one shot.

One shot?

It'll be hard enough hitting a transparent target.

Don't blame me. I had to make this on short notice.

The ground team will scout for it, so we don't miss.

Once detected, fire a tracking device into it.

Yoko will stand by in Sevenger with the field emission bullet, saving power.

This will be Operation Neronga Field Emission!

- Roger! - 'Kay!

Considering its speed, it should show up at any time.

Haruki, detect anything?

Nothing here.

It's here!

But it's not showing up on the thermograph!

Seriously?! Neronga can hide its heat signature, too?!

Holy cow!

Okay! The tracking device hit!

Good going, Haruki!

Beginning attack!

Damage level at 40%. Drive circuit error. Danger.

Uh-oh, this is bad!

It looks like it fully charged on its way here!

Over here!

Yoko, get out of there! You can't take another hit!

Yoko!

Space Martial Arts, the Inherited Fighting Technique!

Master Zero!

Master Seven!

Master Leo!

'Kay!

I ask that you chant my name! Ultraman Z!

Ultraman Z!

Ultraman Z. Alpha Edge.

Ultraman Z...

I speculate we are in jeopardy.

But I can't see it...

Don't just rely on your eyes.

Mr. Z, close your eyes!

Right... What?

Now!

G-Got it!

Don't see it... Sense it.

- Yes! - Ultra-hit!

Hooray! Successful electric dispersal!

Zestium Beam!

- Well done. - 'Kay.

What are you looking at?

She's been acting strange recently.

Looking off into the distance and sighing deeply...

Perhaps she's fallen in love with someone?

Well, it's not my concern.

I'm off to dissect Neronga!

Oh, Haruki.

Yes?

How old do you think Ultraman Z is?

Oh, he's 5,000 years old.

Huh? How do you know?

Uh, well, I think I heard someone say that.

Who was it again...?

5,000 years old...

This must be yours.

I'll take good care of it.

To the future I impart

I'll connect a ray of light.

What is right?

The back-to-back mirrors hide its true form.

With those I protect in my arms now

I shall fight without letting them fall.

What burdens I bear as I stride forward and weep.

The choices we make are fleeting.

The same heartbeats that live in this flow of time.

Burn bright when they overlap.

Haruki's.

'Kay!

Ultra-navi!

Today we're showing this!

Seven.

Master Zero's father, Ultraseven!

The boomerang on his head, the Eye Slugger, is super sharp!

Next up is...

Neronga.

This monster is Neronga!

It eats electricity

and even its heat signature disappears when it turns transparent!

Tune in next time!

PREVIEW.

The operation to move the sleeping Gomora to a deserted island begins.

Haruki heads out in Sevenger, but Gomora suddenly awakens!

Let's face the super strong Gomora with a new power!

Next on Ultraman Z,

Live Coverage! The Monster Transport Operation

I'm Ultra-burning!
