Chapter 199 "Goodbye Ultraman", the new king ascends the throne!

This episode is bound to be a tearjerker.

Because the invincible and seemingly immortal hero Ultraman died in this episode...

Unexpected.

Before the filming started, Hideo Tsuburaya gave many instructions and asked Kyogoku Makoto to be careful.

"It was Jetton who killed you, not you who killed Jetton!
This time, you will fall!"

Closer to home.

On TV, as the theme song ended, the final scene of Ultraman began to appear.

The opening is a grand scene.

Countless disc-shaped UFOs approached the earth.

It has attracted great attention from all over the world.

According to the records, the Kurt team found that these UFOs have been appearing continuously for forty years with the purpose of exploring the earth.

Now, the aliens who have obtained complete intelligence can no longer bear it and decide to launch a general attack on the earth!

In the original version, due to the limitations of the times and funding, the special effects were unsatisfactory, even rough.

Despite the great efforts to exaggerate the "doomsday crisis", it does not feel very cruel and seems a bit of a joke.

Tsuburaya’s regret cannot be made up, but in this version of Ultraman, Onino Takeshi increased a lot of budget to do special effects, and finally presented a scene that fits the plot.

The space battleships of the Jetton people are vast and majestic, crossing the starry sky, looking very spectacular.

Just for these shots, Takeshi Ono spent tens of millions.

The company responsible for the special effects production is the "Okino Special Effects Co., Ltd." recently founded by Takeshi Ono.

He was willing to pay such a high price in order to train Gui Ye's special effects.

Takeshi Ono has high hopes for this, and currently almost all the money on Ono Eiga's account has been invested in this company.

However, investing money alone is not enough. The development of a special effects company does not happen overnight, but Gui Yewu has external support.

He contacted Hiroki Sawada directly, who gave him a special program.

It’s not something too outrageous, it can just shorten rendering time, reduce the difficulty of making special effects, and improve the level of sophistication.

With the help of this program, Takeshi Ono directly recruited an industry leader and quickly built a team.

Thanks to his disregard for cost, the special effects company developed rapidly, and "Ultraman" was their first achievement.

The effect was unexpectedly good, perfectly showing the scale of the Jetton star's warships.

Although it can't be compared with "ET", it is also eye-catching.

The plot continues.

After the Jetton fleet landed on Earth, it launched a large-scale attack.

Major cities around the world have suffered devastating blows, with gunfire and wailing everywhere.

Humanity is in danger!

Faced with the doomsday crisis, the people on Earth also launched a resolute counterattack.

Fighter planes from various countries took off, aircraft carriers launched attacks, and missiles were launched. The grand scenes made the audience excited.

As the strongest defensive force on Earth, Team Kurt is no exception.

But the protagonist of this drama is Ultraman, and human resistance is ultimately futile.

At the critical moment, the heroic figure appeared again.

As soon as Ultraman appeared, he swept across the Zetton alien's space fleet with the Specium Ray.

Ships keep exploding!

Seeing that he was no match for his opponent, the Jetton alien immediately summoned out his trump card - the cosmic dinosaur Jetton!
Zetton is quite famous. He is the first monster to defeat Ultraman in the Ultra series of special effects works. He has made many guest appearances since then, and usually plays the role of a "super monster".

As the final boss, Zetton is extremely powerful. Not only can he absorb Ultraman's Specium Ray, he also has the ability to teleport.

Ultraman had no chance to fight him in close combat and could only use his skills madly regardless of the energy consumption.

In front of Zetton, the previously "invincible" Ultraman was defeated everywhere.

In the end, the comeback that the audience expected did not happen.

boom!
The powerful wave light instantly hit Ultraman's color timer.

Amid everyone's incredulous gazes, the tall figure who always brought victory...fell down!
"Stand up! Stand up quickly!"

I don’t know how many children all over the country stood in front of the TV to cheer for Ultraman, but unfortunately the ending could not be reversed.

That godlike man was finally defeated by the monster. Is this the end of the earth?

Just when the children were desperate and the Kurt team was ready to launch a desperate attack...

The Jetton star's mothership was instantly hit by a beam of light, causing a violent explosion.

There was a loud bang in the sky, and Shafulin...Zoffy made a brilliant appearance!
The fire captain is here!
Zoffy landed beside the dead Ultraman, reached out to his color timer, and sent a ray of rainbow light to the other party.

"Ultraman, wake up! I'm Zoffy!"

Ultraman's color timer gradually regained its luster from gray, and he stood up again.

"Thank you, Sophie!"

The two nodded to each other, then took a fighting stance together and faced Jetton.

Spesium rays!

M87 light!

The two rays of light merged into one, and their power instantly increased several times.

The powerful energy exceeded Jetton's absorption limit, and eventually, Jetton exploded.

"Yeah! Won!"

The children danced with joy!

Although the process was full of twists and turns, Ultraman still won in the end, didn't he?
In the final ending, Zoffy gave new life to Hayata Shin and left the earth with Ultraman.

In front of the Kote team base, the beta magic wand in Hayata Susumu's hand gradually turned into a spot of light and disappeared.

Recalling the past when they had fought together, he smiled and looked up at the starry sky.

"Goodbye, Ultraman!"

……

This final episode is in no way inferior to "My Hometown is Earth" in terms of thematic depth and excitement.

It reveals a fact...

Ultraman is not an omnipotent god!
Even the "invincible" Ultraman will have a moment of failure or even death.

Tsuburaya used thirty-eight episodes to create the heroic image of "Universe Superman", and then destroyed him personally in the last episode.

I have to say that this design has indeed successfully elevated the connotation of the entire drama to another level.

This is also the classic of "Ultraman".

Of course there are some regrets, but regrets are what make people remember them, aren't they?
Only with such an ending will children understand the hardships behind the "hero".

……

"Ultraman" ends here, which can be regarded as a perfect ending.

But the audience, especially the children, were very reluctant to leave.

During this time, they have become accustomed to sitting in front of the TV every night to watch the red and white giant beating up the little monsters.

Now it was time to say goodbye, and they felt lost.

However, some other people who are paying attention to this drama, such as other TV stations, media, entertainment industry professionals, and the producers of "Ultraman", are anxiously waiting for the ratings to be released.

Then, they got a staggering number:

35.8%!

The latest episode of "Ultraman" had a viewership rating of only 26%.

Crush!

At this moment, the new king of special effects drama is born!
……

"A new king is born!"

“Ultraman surpasses Kamen Rider and reaches the top!”

"The king who has dominated special effects dramas for many years was actually knocked off his horse by that man!"

"Ultraman" has concluded, breaking the ratings record!"

"The genius director swept the special effects drama again, where is the next target?"

"That man is unstoppable!"

"..."
