Entertainment: You're asked to make a graduation project, but you're asked to film Ultrama

Chapter 67 Still a Divine Chapter: Why Fight!

The light dissipated.

Ultraman Tiga's enormous body, adorned in red, purple, and silver, stood tall beneath the war-torn night sky.

Here comes my light!

【Ahhh! It's so exciting!】

[The background music is awesome! Absolutely amazing!]

In the original world of this episode, the original Japanese background music and the feeling of the miracle reappearance are slightly different.

Although Gu Nan had to choose between the two options, he chose the option of a miracle recurring.

However, both pieces of music are fitting for the occasion and create a perfect audiovisual experience with the visuals.

In the live stream, with the appearance of Ultraman Tiga, the viewers who had been suppressing their emotions for half an episode finally found a way to vent.

Old Tang slammed his hand on the table in excitement: "Da Gu's shout gave me goosebumps!"

However, the battle did not instantly reverse with the appearance of Tiga.

The monster known as the "Armored Beast" has defense that's practically a bug.

Tiga charged forward and unleashed a series of fluid punches that struck its shell, producing a series of metallic clanging sounds.

Without even flinching, Joebellia unleashed a sweeping attack with its tentacles.

boom!

Tiga was swept away by the immense force and crashed heavily into the mountainside, causing rocks to tumble down and dust to fly everywhere.

[This is way too hard!]

[Tiga! Go for it!]

Tiga quickly got up and tried to attack from behind.

But Jobelia reacted extremely quickly. Its horns flashed, and even the shell on its back suddenly opened, unleashing countless blue high-voltage currents like a torrential downpour!

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!

Tiga had no way to avoid it and was struck by the electric current, screaming as he fell to the ground.

This scene left the audience breathless.

"Although the plot doesn't explain the monster's specific origins, if we consider the background of the Lightning Man, and if Jobelia was brought by the Lightning Man, then wouldn't it also be a monster fighting to protect its kind?"

Old Tang speculated about the plot and said in a deep voice, "It...it's very likely that it came with a purpose."

Although the plot doesn't explain it, Old Tang's intuition tells him that this monster seems to have a close relationship with the Lightning Man.

……

On the ground, even though the surrounding area was repeatedly hit by the battle waves of the giant creatures, sparks flew, but Ye Rui continued to fire desperately.

"Tiga! Go for it!" he shouted hoarsely.

Tiga struggled to his feet, the color timer on his chest already flashing red.

Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong.

The urgent alarm sounded like a death knell.

Joebelle pressed closer, using its enormous scythes to clamp down on Tiga's waist, the immense force seemingly about to break Ultraman in two.

"Ugh—!"

Tiga let out a painful groan.

Within his consciousness, Daigo felt as if his bones were about to shatter.

That feeling of suffocation, that feeling of pain, came over me like a tidal wave.

Despite the pain, Daigo's mind became even clearer!

Why fight?

Lina's question echoed in his mind once again.

"Humans are so naive, so selfish... Is it worth risking your life for such creatures?"

Daigo's consciousness began to recall.

Just then, a scene flashed through his mind.

It was Lina's bewildered yet gentle gaze in the corridor.

It's like digging a well and worrying about science and the future of humanity.

It was Xincheng's recklessness in daring to challenge everything for his sister.

It is Mayumi's back view as she bandages the wounded in the ruins.

And then there's Noriyuki... that somewhat naive 17-year-old boy who, despite being afraid of death, cried as he rushed to the battlefield to protect everyone.

"They...are not perfect."

A voice resounded deep within Daigo's heart.

"They will make mistakes, feel confused, argue, and even do stupid things."

"but……"

The scene freezes on the moment when Nozue and Mayumi support each other amidst the flames of war.

"They're trying to survive too!"

"They will reflect on their mistakes, correct them, and sacrifice themselves for the people they love."

Daigo suddenly opened his eyes.

At that moment, his eyes were no longer filled with confusion, but instead with an unprecedented purity and determination.

"Could this be the answer?"

"I'm not doing this for some grand sense of justice, nor to judge who is right and who is wrong."

"I'm just... fighting to protect these people!"

"Because they are my partners! They are the people I love!"

boom--!!!

As Daigo's will awakened, an indescribable power burst forth from his body.

Outside, Tiga, who had been restrained and whose red lights were flashing wildly, suddenly burst out with a dazzling golden-red light!

This is not a light that transforms its form, but a sacred light that overflows from Tiga's body, seemingly capable of penetrating all darkness!

[Holy crap! What is that?!]

[A sparkling chick! Is it a sparkling chick?]

[That can't be right, Daigo shouldn't be able to transform into Shining Hinata on his own.]

[Regardless of how you look at it, the awareness and background music here are absolutely amazing!]

[This miraculous electric guitar performance! The flashback sequence and the monologue with its self-answered questions are perfectly synchronized!]

Fight for a better world!!!

The perfectly crafted atmosphere caused the live stream to explode.

Tiga's skin, which was originally red, purple, and silver, was now covered with a faint, flowing golden glow.

The patterns on the composite Tiga's body began to shimmer with light!

This was Daigo using his own will to unleash the hidden power within the Giant of Light.

Although it is not yet the "Shining Tiga" that has gathered all the light of humanity and is powerful enough to destroy the gates of hell for the Kirieloids, nor the "Shining Tiga" that will defeat the evil god Gatanothor in the future, this golden radiance is enough to demonstrate overwhelming power at this stage!

"Drink it!!!"

Tiga roared and thrust his arms outwards.

Click!

The supposedly indestructible pincers of Jobelia were actually shattered by this golden force!

Tiga broke free of his restraints, his entire body bathed in golden-red light.

He hadn't switched to the red Power Type, but the power emanating from him was even more terrifying than in the Power Type.

Jobelia seemed to sense the threat as well, roaring madly as it prepared to unleash a lightning bolt of maximum power.

But Tiga didn't give it a chance.

Enveloped in golden-red light, and braving the lightning that filled the sky, he walked step by step toward Jobelie.

The blue electric currents struck the golden light on his body, instantly dissolving it completely.

This scene was like a god descending to earth.

"That's so cool!"

Old Tang is now holding his head in his hands. He feels his scalp is tingling and his body is covered in goosebumps!

"Is this what it means to unleash one's idealism? This is what it means to believe in the power of light! Ultraman Tiga!!!"

Tiga walked up to Joebelle and, without any fancy moves, simply opened his arms and hugged the monster tightly.

Ultraman High-Heat Explosion!

This time, not only was the red, high-heat energy incorporated, but the golden glow was also integrated into it.

"boom--!!!"

Under the interplay of golden and red light, Choberie's incredibly hard carapace began to crack inch by inch, like ice under high temperature, rapidly disintegrating.

The monster let out a final, mournful cry, and then, in a spectacular golden explosion, it was completely reduced to dust.

Won!

Tiga stood in the firelight, the golden light on his body slowly fading, and he returned to his original composite form.

In the setting sun, his body stood like a god.

The image of a giant gazing into the distance under the setting sun is etched in the memories of countless people.

Ultraman Tiga stood on the earth, watching the war that was not his.

……

The electric guitar interlude that miraculously played didn't stop.

On the other side of the battlefield, high in the sky.

The Atdis has locked onto the Lightning Man's lair.

"The Magus system is activated! The Magus cannon is fully charged! It is ready to fire at any time!" Shinjo's finger was on the fire button.

But just then, Captain Megumi's voice suddenly rang out: "Wait! Cease the attack!"

"What?" Shinjo was taken aback.

"Look outside," Lina said, her voice trembling slightly.

Everyone looked out the window.

The cloud of lightning beings that had been gathered together seemed to sense something at the moment of Jobelie's death. They neither attacked nor remained in place.

The clouds began to rise slowly, drifting towards higher and farther places.

"Are they...rising?"

Horii looked at the instrument panel. "The altitude has exceeded the stratosphere... Are they about to leave the atmosphere?"

"The Lightning Man is slowly leaving Earth and flying into space."

Lina watched this scene, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"They chose to leave this place that once belonged to them..."

"Because they have lost faith in the Earth, no, in us humans."

This is not a victory.

This is the opponent's exit.

They are not to be trifled with, but they can be avoided.

Filled with disappointment and helplessness, they left their homes and ventured into the vast universe to find a new home.

The image seems to carry a faint sense of sadness and relief.

The comments section also started to discuss the issue.

[The cinematic language in this Ultraman Tiga clip is truly brilliant!]

The Lightning Men are afraid. Staying means certain extinction by humans. After all, how many Lightning Men are needed to synthesize one Gazord? No matter how many Gazords there are, they can't compare to humanity's weapons inventory. The law of the jungle has always been true.

No! Notice that the Magus Cannon's attack didn't have much effect on Lightning Man; it was even deflected. Therefore, I believe that given the current impossibility of coexistence, Lightning Man, capable of withstanding humanity's most powerful weapon and possessing the ability to explore the universe before humanity, chose to leave Earth.

[He could withstand the strongest attack but left. The Lightning Man laid down his weapon. Those who called Mayumi naive earlier have now seen his answer: continuing is pointless.]

[Uh, there are far more electromagnetic waves in the universe than on Earth. Is it really okay for Lightning Man to leave like this...?]

……

On the ground, the battle was over.

Ye Rui, his face covered in dust, stared blankly at the sky.

Mayumi walked over and silently helped him pick up the first aid kit that had fallen to the ground.

Ye Rui turned her head and looked at her older sister, who had been arguing with her just moments before.

The two looked at each other but said nothing.

Then, Ye Rui stretched out his dirty hand.

Mayumi hesitated for a moment, then reached out and grasped his hand tightly.

This handshake is a classic.

Although both were TPC personnel, one was an extreme hawk and the other an extreme dove.

Having experienced the trials of life and death and the flames of war, they chose to accept each other and move forward together for the future of humanity.

That is precisely the sublimity of humanity.

The pro-war faction is not inhuman, selfish, or cold-blooded; the pro-peace faction is not naive, laughable, cowardly, or incompetent.

Ultimately, all they want is for humanity to live well.

The camera slowly zooms out, freezing on the moment the two shake hands, with the smoke of battle gradually dissipating in the background.

The series has ended.

The ending theme "Ultraman Forever" begins playing.

……

"call……"

In the live stream, Old Tang let out a long sigh. He took off his glasses and wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes.

"Brothers, I'm sick of talking about this episode, but I still have to say it... Investiture of the Gods."

The comments section was no longer noisy as before, but filled with deep thought.

[A series of divine pronouncements, every episode is a celestial celebration! Ultraman Tiga is truly a list of deities!]

I cried. That final handshake was absolutely stunning.

The Lightning Man is gone, but I feel no joy at all. He is a disgrace to humanity.

[Looking back at this episode, each character has their own thoughts and stances, and the clash of ideas elevates the plot—this is the charm that tokusatsu works should have!]

I used to think Ultraman Tiga was just about fighting monsters, but now it seems Gu Nan is using tokusatsu (special effects) to tell a human story.

But if you and your family are at the feet of a monster, wielding your sword becomes the only thing you can do. As a warrior, there's nothing to regret about protecting your people.

Old Tang nodded as he looked at the high-quality comments.

"That's right. This episode actually presents various ideas, and Gu Nan doesn't favor any particular viewpoint."

"Lina believes that all living things on Earth should respect each other and coexist peacefully. Mayumi thinks that as long as we lay down our weapons, there will be no war in the world. Hori thinks that since we can't figure it out, we should give up thinking about it and do what we should do in front of us. Captain Munakata believes that as TPC members, our responsibility is to protect humanity, and anything that threatens people's lives should be eliminated."

"And Daigo..."

Old Tang paused, his eyes filled with respect.

"He was torn about whether to use Ultraman's power to intervene in the conflict between humans and the Lightning Man. Until Nori, who was also doubtful, gave up thinking and, in order to protect those around him, shouted 'I don't want to die' as he rushed into the battlefield. At this time, Daigo also had no time to think, so he had to throw the problem to Tiga, shouting his name and turning into light."

"What is the answer? Actually, there is no answer."

"But it is precisely because there are no answers that humanity needs to keep thinking and keep moving forward."

Gu Nan smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the overwhelming positive reviews online, especially the discussions about the reappearance of the "Flash Hatchling Form".

This is not the end.

However, during a behind-the-scenes interview, he left the camera with a rather meaningful remark:

"Nature ultimately relies on the principle of natural selection and survival of the fittest. We humans may indeed feel guilty, but there's not much to say about living space and racial conflicts. All we can do is maintain a sense of awe while wielding our swords."
