03x11 - The Disaster

[bunniefuu]

So it was you, Edo.

You were the one behind all of this.

Now it all makes sense.

Even while we were being attacked

from mysterious alien enemies
left and right,

I always had a strange feeling

that someone else was pulling the strings.

Someone with a lot of power.

You hid yourself well.

We never thought the mastermind
would be you.

There seems to have been
a misunderstanding.

I hid nothing.

I never misrepresented my motives,

nor did I work behind the scenes
as you put it.

The mission I am here to fulfill

is the same mission I always had.

And what mission would that be?

Peace, of course.

My mission is to bring peace
and harmony to the universe.

Ultramen must be eradicated

if there is to be peace in the universe.

I don't understand.

I always thought that

it was you that created the new Ultramen

with the SSSP.

Why would you go to all that trouble?

Why would you create something
if you're just gonna destroy it?

That's sort of a roundabout way
to do things.

Let me ask you something, Moroboshi.

What is Ultraman?

Do you really think he's a hero
whose purpose is to protect this planet?

What are you trying to say?

Two minutes, 57 seconds.

Is this a riddle?

Let us suppose the Ultramen
came to an agreement

that each of them will attack
one of the Earth's major powers.

Two minutes and 57 seconds is the time

that would take for them to render
those nations utterly helpless.

So less than three minutes, huh?

Suppose it's a good thing
that's nothing we'd ever wanna do.

We had thought to extend
a welcoming hand to Earth

and invited to join
the Star Cluster Council.

However, we found there was one idea
rooted in the human mind

that was an obstacle to joining us.

Their unshakable faith in Ultramen.

Faith is a dangerous thing
when it's invested in a force

with so much power
and such a one-sided sense of justice.

The Star Cluster Council cannot allow
such a dangerous force

to remain free in the universe.

Many planets and entire races of beings

have been destroyed by Ultramen already.

But before eliminating Ultraman,

we must first remove
that one problematic idea.

We must k*ll humans' faith in him.

Once they have been freed
from this misplaced faith,

we can, at last, welcome them
into the Star Cluster Council.

And guide them toward peace and harmony.

That is my mission.

What is that?

I can swear, it looks like Zetton.

Huh? That monster Ultraman took down?

But that was such a long time ago.

By summoning Zetton,

I intend to k*ll humanity's faith
in Ultraman.

First, by exposing the existential threat
to the universe that he poses.

And then, by k*lling Ultraman himself.

In other words,

by k*lling you, Shinjiro.

k*lling me?

Don't worry, kid.

It won't happen.

We just need to knock his ship
out of the sky.

You are certainly welcome to try.

It should take another day
to finish summoning Zetton.

In the meantime,

I look forward to watching your efforts.

Edo!

Damn.

All of this is my fault.

No.

It all began with me.

If there is anyone to blame, Hayata.

It is not you.

We did what we could,

but we were unable to stop Edo
and the Star Cluster Council.

It is up to the next generation now.

Yes, it is.

Oh.

So you're awake.

You must be hungry.

Is Shinjiro here?

Did you know where he is?

Where is he?

I don't know.

I'm supposed to babysit you, not Shinjiro.

Oh, wait a second.

Don't try and stop me.

I won't.

Oh, good.

I was just gonna say that
I hope you find him.

Wherever he is.

Because I know he really needs you, Rena.

Thank you.

Don't blame me
if this all turns into a big mess.

What are you talking about?

It's a big mess already.

Can you hear me?

Moroboshi?

I wouldn't try coming back here again.

Public Security is everywhere.

I need you to pull together
some information for me

without them noticing.

Think you can do that?

I'll do my best.

Good. I'll send you a list.

Is Shinjiro with you?

He's working on something else.

Oh. Will he be all right?

Good question.

Huh? Rena?

Wow. Are you ever a hard man to find?

What are you doing here?

Why are you running around
this time of night?

I was looking for you.

Why do you have to make it so difficult?

I've been all over the place
trying to find you.

But why?

Do I have to have a reason?

Well, anyway.

I do have a reason.

There's something
I need to tell you, Shinjiro.

Huh?

Oh, uh, all right.

I, uh...

I've become an Ultraman.

- Yeah, I know.
- Uh...

Uh, actually...

it just so happens
that I'm an Ultraman too.

Well, duh.

I've known that for a long time.

- You have?
- Yeah, but wait.

I haven't even gotten
to the most important part.

I'm not human.

I'm an alien, Shinjiro.

You're what?

Wait, that's not totally true.

Actually, it's just half-alien, I guess.

Hmm.

You don't seem very surprised?

Oh! No, it's, eh...

It's just that maybe we're
more alike than you think.

I don't understand.

You will.

In a little while from now,
I might not be human either.

Oh, well then.

I guess that explains
why you didn't even blink

when I told you I was half-alien.

This stuff's no big deal to you.

Oh. No, it wasn't anything like that.

What was it then?

Well, it's just that,

I don't really care
if you're alien or half-alien or whatever.

You're still Rena, after all.

Thanks, Shinjiro.

Yeah. Sure.

To tell you the truth,

I was starting to get
a little worried there.

After you saved me from Mephisto,

I thought you might have changed
into something different.

I thought I might never see you again.

So I knew I had to try and find you
no matter what.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Anyway, I'm not worried anymore.

Whatever happens,

at least now I know
that you'll still always be you.

You know, you're right.

When I fought,

I was always worried about
the damage I might cause

and even more about the people
that might get hurt.

But the thing that scared me the most

was the thought
of not being myself anymore.

But now...

now I have to go.

Shinjiro.

I'm coming with you.

BREAKING NEWS
ZETTON APPROACHES THE SSSP AGAIN

Zetton, the alien monster
once defeated by Ultraman,

is apparently about to emerge
from that spacecraft.

The craft itself is hovering directly
over SSSP headquarters,

implying that might be Zetton's target.

So far, however, we haven't seen
any kind of a response from the SSSP.

Zetton is about to touch down.

Zetton.

What's going on?

What is that?

Who is that?

- It's big. Whatever it is.
- What's going on?

- Oh, no!
- It's Ultraman!

It's about time!

Hey, Ultraman!
Where the hell have you been?

You know these monsters wouldn't
even come here if it weren't for you!

Go on! Get to work.
Attack that thing!

When I dreamed of Zetton,

those weren't Dad's memories
that I was seeing.

I was seeing... my own destiny.

Go on, Zetton!

- Blast that son of a b*tch!
- All right!

This ends now.

No more running away.

Now aren't you glad I came along?

What the heck? Is that a new Ultraman?

More like Ultrawoman?

Let her have it, Zetton!

Take her out! Take 'em all out!

Oh, no!

Hyah!

What... what just happened?

I think...

Ultraman just saved us.

Or almost k*lled us.

Whatever!

He's the one who caused all this!

Yeah, like smashing up
some concrete makes me a hero.

You're a danger to us all!

Shinjiro, are you okay?

Good. He's down.

Yeah. Yeah. You stay down!

Zetton.

Why doesn't he just stay down?

Destroy Ultraman!

Shinjiro!

Huh?

What in the world
could be going on out there?

It could be a good time
to make a break for it.

I agree.

That wasn't the welcome I was expecting.

Hokuto?

What the heck is going on out there?

Come see for yourself.

- Hurry!
- Hmm.

He's taking that huge monster
on all by himself?

What? Are you defending him?

That's the point, isn't it?

We want that thing to destroy him.

Yeah, you're right.

It's stupid to fight a battle
you can't hope to win.

Maybe, that's what a real hero does.

Yes. Come on.

Hang on, Zetton.

I'm not done.

Not yet.

Argh!

My barrier!

Huh?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Moroboshi!

Let's finish this, kid.

Let's go, Shinjiro.

Right!

You guys!

We would have gotten here sooner,
but we're a little tied up.

Sorry about that.

I just got tired of you guys
always hogging the spotlight.

So let's saddle up and do this thing.

This is Ide.

We're back in control here.

Standing by to back you up.

- Copy that.
- All right.

Zetton's on the move.

Okay. Here we go.

Right!

Don't forget about me!

Try this on for size, big guy!

- Yes!
- All right!

Thanks for the backup, kiddo.

- Nice job.
- Anytime.

What?

I've been waiting for this.

What?

What an honor it is

not only to witness the demise

of this new generation of Ultramen

but to be instrumental
in bringing it about.

And so we come to the end
of the Ultraman saga.
