THE MONSTER IS A sh**ting STAR IN SPACE

You can see it too
The Star of Ultra

Far away
Alone on Earth

Dedicating his life to defeating monsters

Any moment now
He'll reach the burning town

With the echoing roar in his ear

He's returned
He's returned

Ultraman

Featuring Magnetic Monster Magnedon.

Roger.

Again?
Yes.

Where?

Above Kumazawa Valley.

They're all in the same place.

Hmm.

Nation-wide , tho weather was clear
with no wind yesterday and today.

Oh, welcome back.
Welcome back.

Oh, again?

Yes. It's tho fifth one.

Hmm.

After checking
the previous four wreckages,

there weren’t any problems I like
wings breaking or engine failure.

It looks like they were all suddenly
smashed on the ground with extromo force.

Captain.
Hm?

Where's Go?

He took some jet pieces to
the Space Research Division.

Even sunspots aren't showing
any such abrupt changes.

It's hard to think that the crashed jets
were caught in magnetic storms.

But the needle of
this compass has gone haywire.

How can you explain how this part

on all four crashed jets
was broken the same way?

Hmm.

I don't know.

It's an entirely new phenomenon after all.

I see.

Regardless, this is
rather extreme magnetism.

We’ve never seen such powerful magnetism

occur in nature before.

What's that?

Unbelievable.

It could mean the end of the Earth.

It's a massive shift in
the Earth's magnetism.

Oh!

A powerful, mysterious magnetic force
is concentrating in the Kumazawa Dam area.

The Kumazawa Dam?

Hey! What's that? What's going on?

What's that sound? What is it? What is it?

The powerfully magnetized monster
was named Magnedon.

After hibernating
deep below the North Pole,

Magnedon emerged from where the crust
was weakened by the dam construction.

Go.

Is the Anti-Magnetic device ready?

It's ready. It'll reflect
any magnetic force.

Okay. Head out!
Yes, sir!

Activate the device.

Roger.

The monster’s still asleep.

Everyone out!

Captain.

If we anger it and it gets any
closer to the dam, it'll be a catastrophe.

Captain.
Hm?

Maybe a regular b*mb might work
against that monster.

A regular b*mb?
Yes.

But its body looks so hard.

No, that's why I think it'll work.

The monster's body is hardened magma.
Hard things are brittle.

But how do we hit it?

That's easy.
Its magnetism will draw it in.

A MAT Arrow loaded with a regular b*mb
flew to the target area.

Well, now that it's dead,
it's just lumps of magma.

We could fence it off and make a museum.

A Monster Museum.

That's great.

It's started to rain.
Hm?

Maybe it's monster tears.

The head came back to life.

Bathed in lightning electricity, the
shattered Magnedon was resurrected.

It's pulling itself together
like it's willing it.

Okay.

In this case, our only option is
to melt it with a laser beam.

Yes , sir. We'll head out immediately.

It's from the dam control room.
The monster has just fully restored itself.

All right.

To get it away from the dam,

we'll attack from downstream
and lure it away.

Let's go!
Yes, sir!

Go, wait!

Saying a b*mb would work against it
was my mistake. Let me do this.

Go!

Dammit!

Oh!

Go!
Go!

Let's go!
Yes, sir!

We have no idea how hot it is.
It's a monster made from hardened magma.

To melt something like this is beyond us.

You tried blowing it apart with a b*mb
and then melting it.

All of your plans are failures.

Yes, sir.

What do you plan to do
if anything happens to the dam?

This isn't just about
MAT's rosponsibility.

The issue is the resuit's.

As MAT special force members, you're
expected to always have 100% resuit's.

But, we're up against
the Earth's magnetism.

The monster's body contains
the power of Earth itself.

Then you're saying this is beyond MAT?

You're going to admit yourselves
that MAT is useless?

Staff Officer, we'll try.

Please give us one more day.

One more day, is it?

Yes, sir.

Then, if you fail,
MAT will be disbanded immediately.

Unfortunately, we'll have to
give up the dam.

If only we could throw
that monster off Earth.

It should lose it's magnetic power if
taken out of Earth's magnetism's reach.

But how do we carry
a pile of magma that big to space?

Uh , well,

I meant, if we could,
there'd be no problem.

Go-san!

A whole-body contusion can have scary
after-effects. You need to stay still.

That's right. You won't be able
to do judo anymore.

What happened to Magnedon?

It's back to normal. And, apparently,
it's absorbing the Earth's magnetism.

Oh. I see.

Huh? It's weaker.

I wish this magnet would get stronger
like Magnedon.

Captain.

Hello.

Hi.

Well? Are your bones all right?

Yes. Sorry to worry you.

Yeah. Get some rest.

Yes, sir.

I hear Magnedon's the same as ever.

But we'll finish things today.

That's it!

I remember thinking I'd try it out
and dropped this from the school roof.

What are you talking about?

When you apply a big shock to a magnet,
it becomes useless.

Good for you. That's right.

When Magnedon was first blown apart,

the vibrations made it lose
its magnetism for a while.

But it's no good.

So long as the Earth has
lots of magnetism, it's invincible.

I see.

Captain! What if we pour all of the
dam's electricity into the monster?

Hm?

The iron in the magma has been magnetized,
so what if we heat it up and melt it?

I see.

The dam should have more than
enough electric current.

Let's chance it.

That's a great idea.

Captain, I'm going too!

Go, you shouldn't push yourself yet.
Leave this to us.

Everyone in the dam
was evacuated just in case.

Magnedon's appearance returned
Kumazawa to its silence of the past.

Go-san, you can't in that condition.

You went against Magnedon ready to die,
and now look at you.

You've done your part.

It's not over yet.

When Captain said they're
going to finish everything today,

he meant, if they fail,
MAT will be disbanded.

My friends all believe they'd rather die
than be disbanded.

I'm going.

Let me go.

Even though I'm begging you?

I know how Go-san feels.

At times like this, women and children
just get in the way.

Jiro!

It's a man's spirit.

I'd let him go.

Sis, I'll see him off.

Go-san, let's go.

RETURN OF ULTRAMAN

The dam's motors all began
running at full speed at once.

Kishida , Ueno , ready?

Yes, sir.

Ready?
Yes, sir.

Ueno, let go!

Ready?
Yes, sir.

Now!

The stage is set. All that's left is
to release the powerful electric current.

If the monster loses its magnetism
and dies, it'll just be a pile of magma.

It might crumble!
Yes, sir!

Okay. Beginning the countdown.

30 seconds.

Roger!

25...

20...

4, 3, 2, 1, zero.

Switch!

Switch!

What amazing capacity.

If it gets any closer to the dam ,
it'll be a catastrophe.

Dammit.

All the electric current
in Japan isn't enough?!

Its power is from the Earth's magnetism.

So long as it's on Earth ,
there's nothing we can do.

All right. Retreat!

The only way to finish it
is to fight off Earth.

Did you find Go?

We're receiving word from the space
station about a mysterious expl*si*n.

Wow, look at all the sh**ting stars!

Don't worry. Go-san will be back.

Oh!

It's Go-san!

Hey!

Go-san, where were you?
Aki was really worried about you.

Sorry for being late.

I dropped by MAT HQ.

Oh. I guess no harm, no foul.

Right?

Oh, look!

Oh, again!

Only Go knows that the sh**ting stars
are fragments of Magnedon.

A strange event appears
late at night on TV.

What is Electric Wave Monster Beakon?

To uncover its identity,
The MAT Arrow flies.

Ultraman is in danger.

Let's all watch again next week.
