THE APPEARANCE OF

2-D MONSTER GABADON

Here's the monster Neronga.

He's shown up before.

Wow!

It's Red King!

- Isn't it good? - Good for you, Sasuke.

Look at my Kanegon!

Hey, what's this monster called?

That's Beethoven.

Was there a monster named that?

You're such idiots.

Beethoven was a famous German composer.

Ah, that's why he looks like a human!

What's this?

What?

What's that?

Who drew this?

It was me.

What is it?

It looks like a tadpole!

The monster...

Gabadon.

Monster Gabadon?

It's just a tadpole!

What is it?

I can't do this.

Hey, Mushiba!

You're still doing this?

What is this?

If you draw graffiti here, you'll get in trouble!

The owner is scary!

Did you forget...

that he's already taken ten balls away from us?

But...

I thought if I drew it bigger it'd be scarier.

What, this?

What if you did this?

Hey, stop it!

What are you doing?

It looks like a big banana!

Yes, this is the Science Patrol HQ.

Yes?

Yes?

What?

Okay, roger.

Who was that, Cap?

Tokyo University's Space Ray Research Center.

Space Ray Research Center?

Is there an unexpected problem?

Everyone listen.

At the Space Ray Research Center...

they've noticed an odd change...

in the space rays coming to Earth.

What is it?

Hey!

What's going on?

What's that?

Everyone, be quiet!

Everyone, please be quiet!

What's that sound?

It sounds like a motorboat.

Wrong! It's snoring!

Who could snore at a time like this?

Hey! It's the monster Gabadon!

My monster, Gabadon!

Awesome!

Hey!

Are you the ones who drew on my pipes?

- Ouch! - Cut us some slack!

I'll have you clean this!

That hurts!

What's going on here?

So it is true!

See?

- Yup! - It's true!

It's not here!

Due to the space rays...

the monster in the picture had come to life.

His name was Gabadon.

Prepare to attack!

Ready, sir!

Fire!

Dammit!

Fire!

Fire!

Dammit!

Cap, we've got to attack the tail!

We did it!

He's started running!

How embarrassing.

He's just napping peacefully.

We have to do something...

or he'll just keep sleeping!

I've never seen such a lazy monster before!

How peaceful.

How long is he going to sleep?

It's already evening.

Dammit! Having to put up with this...

has made me so hungry!

Prepare the attack!

Where's he trying to go?

We'll follow in the VTOL.

He disappeared!

What's going on here?!

I found the first star

I found the first star

Did he turn into a star?

A monster into a star?

No way.

There's no way.

Cap, we have a message from the Paris Science Patrol.

Apparently, yesterday's ray phenomenon...

also occurred in Switzerland and South Africa.

And?

They found...

that a new element within the space ray...

combined with sun rays...

is causing 2-D objects to become 3-D!

What?

So, drawings...

can become real?

That's what they've said.

When radioactive rays from space...

and the sun's rays join...

Thinking about it now, Takashi was saying something strange...

about a picture Mushiba drew.

So, Mushiba drew a picture of this monster?

Congratulations, Mushiba!

Nice, Mushiba!

Thank you!

Thanks to all of you!

But all white is kinda boring.

Let's all make it look cooler!

Okay, let's do it!

It's no fun if he just keeps sleeping.

Let's do it!

Hey!

Dammit!

Tomorrow...

I will make you apologize for this!

I see.

Takashi's drawing...

became three-dimensional and came to life.

That's why it disappeared...

along with the sun's rays.

So...

then, tomorrow...

he'll be back at sunrise?

Right, Cap?

I just realized.

If we don't attack the monster...

it just keeps sleeping.

If we attack foolishly, it'll run wild.

So why don't we give it a rest, too?

Idiot.

Our job as the Science Patrol is to fight space beasts...

to protect humanity's peace and prosperity.

But Cap...

Ide may be right.

If we attack...

the harder we do...

the worse he'll retaliate.

If we attack...

casualties will increase.

Okay. Then, tomorrow...

let's observe the monster.

Though not a field trip day...

the next morning...

the children were up early.

Come on.

Come.

Over there.

Gabadon!

Banzai!

You again!

I won't let you get away!

What are you brats doing to my pipes!

Mister, what's wrong?

What's wrong, what's wrong?

What's wrong, what's wrong?

The sun shone down heavily.

Because of Gabadon, there was no one in the city.

No traffic...

as only the wind passed through the streets.

Tokyo became Gabadon's private stage.

And Gabadon just kept sleeping.

Because his body was so large, his snores...

caused the surrounding buildings to shake.

Just as the Science Patrol had thought...

as long as they did not attack, Gabadon kept sleeping.

He kept peacefully sleeping.

As Gabadon just keeps sleeping...

he's wreaking havoc on our country's economy.

So tomorrow, the Science Patrol...

should ignore the inevitable victims...

and take care of Gabadon for good.

Cap, I have a good idea.

What is it?

Gabadon was Mushiba's drawing...

that became 3-D, right?

We know that!

Shut up.

When the sun's rays disappear, he returns to picture form.

Cap, it's night now.

Gabadon is just a picture!

I see!

If we go now we can erase the picture.

Correct!

Idiot!

The Science Patrol...

shouldn't clean graffiti.

What a dull solution.

Everyone, get enough rest for tomorrow's mission.

Tomorrow...

we will have a fair fight with the monster!

Understood?

Monster Gabadon, we're kind of disappointed in you.

Why do you just sleep all the time?

Because you're a monster...

we thought you would be a little cooler.

Parents say kids can't go out at night.

But we risked that to come here for you.

You need to try a little harder, too.

That's all.

Mushiba!

You talk to him!

Hey, Gabadon.

I gave you life.

That's why I'm asking you now...

to please try.

- Okay? - We're counting on you!

You understand, right?

You're a good guy!

Don't work too hard, but do your best!

I'm here for you, too, so please understand!

Please try!

Take that!

The next morning, Gabadon came back to life.

Don't shoot!

- What's wrong? - Look!

Please stop!

Stop it!

Don't kill him!

Move!

Takashi, Sasuke!

Mushiba, get out of the way!

Get out of the way!

Watch out!

Hayata!

It's Ultraman!

Wait!

Everyone!

What are you thinking!

Please!

Don't kill him!

Stop it!

Don't kill him!

Don't kill him!

Stop it!

No!

Go away!

Leave him alone!

Don't kill him!

I'm scared!

Stop, please!

Don't kill him!

Don't!

Bye, bye!

Bye!

He left us.

That sucks.

Don't cry, children.

Every year, on the night of July 7th, Tanabata...

I'll make sure you can see Gabadon...

here in the starry sky.

I wonder if Gabadon became a star, too.

Stars in the sky.

The night of Tanabata?

What happens...

if it rains?

With all this graffiti...

there is no telling when one may be hit by that particular ray.

But the freedom to draw anything belongs to the children.

Cap. Muramasa, however...

felt a sense of dread when he saw this.

You kids...

What's all this!
