MYSTERY!
HOMICIDE BEETLE INCIDENT

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 Insect Monster Nokogilin.

Thank you for the gift.
I gave it to her right away.

Did she like it?

Yeah. She was grateful.

That's good to hear.

Yeah.

—Huh?
—What is it?

What's that?!

It's a meteorite. Nothing'
happen.

It landed near Sakata-san's house.

I hope nothing happens.

Three days later, at night.

Yes, this is MAT.

Huh? The Space Hotel?

Yes.

What?! A person evaporated?

Yes.

Oh, at MAT we deal specifically
with monsters. Please call the police.

Yes. Thank you.

A person evaporated?

Yeah. Suddenly when he was shaving.

But there's no trace of an intruder.

They were shocked, so they called MAT.

Just because Go—san gave you that
lipstick, you don't have to apply so much.

Be quiet.

See? You made me mess up.

You look like a creepy hag.

Say what you like. Could you get that?

Go-san's waiting for you.

—Hey, Sakata!
—Sakata—san!

-Hey.
—Oh.

Jiro, this is unlike you.
You're not asking to tag along with Go?

They're going to see a movie.

I'm saying no today.

We've got important insect gathering.

Huh? Insect gathering?

Yup! There's a rare
sawtooth stag beetle around here.

Stag beetles come out
during July and August.

But it's a rare one with three horns.

Right?

Yeah. It's supposed to be really big!

A normal stag beetle goes for 340 yen.

With three horns,
it'll be 2,000 yen!

Yeah.

They make a ruckus from early morning to
late night. All to catch that one beetle.

Three horns does sound rare.

Yeah. When it flies, it shines silver.

Its horns are yellow.

-It flies at Mach speeds.
—Hmm.

Let's go already!

Let's go! Let's go!

A sawtooth stag beetle
that flies at Mach speeds?



Sorry for being late.

Well? I used the lipstick Go—san gave me.

Huh. Not a bad color.

You're pretty smooth.

Actually, Minami gave me that.

It's a souvenir from when
he attended a seminar in Greece.

I thought so.

Even so, I'm glad. It's the first present
Go-san's ever given me.

There's no one to pester you today.
Take your time.

Yeah.

What movie do you want to see?
"The Beach of Love"?

Or "Elise Forever"?

Oh no. I can't stand sappy movies.

Oh? What then?

"The Forest of the Vampire Baron"!

Excuse me.

This is Go.

It's another locked room m*rder.

The victim is a 25-year-old woman,
It's near the previous hotel.

MAT'S not needed for a m*rder case.

It's a police request.
They can't figure out how it was done.

All right. I'll be right there.

There was an incident.
Sorry, but can you make it home alone?

Go—san!

It's just like the hotel.

Yeah. She was attacked
while using a hair dryer.

According to the landlord, she was earnest
and not one to incur anyone's hatred.

The previous victim was attacked while
using an electric shaver.

No witnesses and no evidence
left at the scene.

We believe it's the same method.

Hmm.

An electric shaver and a hair dryer.

It looks like the key to
solving this is there.

That night, that shining object
fell around here.

Could it be...?

Captain, this might not be
the work of a human.

That sounds like something
MAT would think up.

But, I believe the culprit is a human.

It's a premeditated crime
using a Laser g*n.

I think so, too.

Besides, if it was a space monster,
there'd be more casualties.

Go, you may be fixated on the meteorite
from the other day, but

you're grasping at straws.

Hm?!

What a pervy insect.

It's the same one that I gave to Aki-chan.

How annoying.

Shoo! Go away!

Leave me alone!

So there!

I'm home, Ken.

Oh. Welcome back. Where's Go?

There was some case so he left me alone.

That's a shame.

I'm starving.

Where's Jiro?

He'll be back soon.

Oh!

Hooray! I caught the 2,000 yen!

So? What happened with the insect?

I beat it with my handbag!
It was being a pest.

I feel sorry for that poor bug.

Why?

You took your frustrations
about Go out on it.

Hmph!

Go—san had work to do.

Did the insect have three horns?

Come to think of it,
it was a strange insect.

It's probably the one
Jim and his friends are after.

Really?

If you'd caught it,
Jim would've been happy.

Hello?

It's Go. Is Aki—chan home yet?

She just came back. If you don't
look after her, bugs might get her.

Bugs?

I'm kidding.

Aki said she got chased by
a strange insect on the way home.

This isn't the time for jokes!

The three—horned insect Jim is after
might be a k*ller insect!

The one with three horns?

Try to be careful.

I'm h* me!

I'll tell Jiro not to
go insect gathering for a while.

If I see it, I'll be sure to call.

Good night!

It was a k*ller insect?

Don't worry, Go and the others
will take care of it.

I guess so.

I'm not handing you over no matter what.
You're 2,000 yen after all.

What's wrong, Aki?

Sis, what is it?!

The k*ller insect!

Oh!

That's the Greek lipstick Go—san gave me.

It was chasing you
because of the lipstick.

Oh! That's my insect!

Jiro, you were hiding it?

It broke out here and got away.

The net's melted.

What a terrifying insect.

Call MAT right away.

Yeah.

I'll watch this thing.

RETURN OF ULTRAMAN

Captain, I took the lipstick, but if we
remain quiet, it doesn't do anything.

Okay.

Begin experiment.

Yes, sir.

Pull the shaver away.

Yes, sir.

There's no mistake. This did it.

This type of motor sounds like just like
the wings of its enemies.

That's why it attacks.

Is there such a thing as
a laser-sh**ting insect?

Like Go said,
this is probably a space insect.

What?! A space insect?!

What a terrifying insect.

Captain, would you let me
take care of this?

It terrorized your girlfriend after all.

No, that's not it.

Don't judge it by its size.
It's still a space insect.

Yes, sir.

Go, use this.

It's a Space Laser g*n.
It'll fell any space monster in one shot.

Thank you. This will be a sure thing!

Kishida!

Yes, sir!

Go, stop!

It's turning the laser
into its own energy.

We don't know where it'll show up.

Ueno! Go! Search the skies!

Yes, sir!

This is Go.

I'm currently in Tokyo Sky Area A.
Nothing to report.

Roger. Stay on guard.

Roger.

This is Ueno. I'm in Tokyo Area C.
Currently nothing to report.

Roger. Patrol in the Area D direction.

Roger.

I'm currently patrolling Tokyo Area B.
Currently nothing to report.

Roger. Increase awareness.

Roger.

What's wrong?! Go!

I've found the space insect!
Moving to attack!

Roger! We'll head out immediately!

Roger!

The space insect's appeared!
Head there immediately!

Roger!

Go, here goes!

Okay!

Look out!

Let's go!

Yes, sir!

Let's go around.

Yes, sir!

Fire!

Damn space insect!

Oh!

Go!

Dammit!

Ultraman's in danger!

Aim for the monster's eyes!

You'll get chased again.
You might die this time.

I don't care if I die.

Huh?!

I'm ready.

You look pretty.

Why thank you.

You've got something here.

Is it Vampire Baron again?

Wrong. Today is "Wonderful Helen".

Huh.

I don't understand girls.

Cheeky kid!

In the darkness,
the giant saw monster Gronken appears.

Oh no! A building is cut in half.

Plus, next week, the kicking demon,
Sawamura, fights our hero, Hideki Go.

Let's all watch again next week.
