THE MONSTER CHANNEL

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 Electric Wave Monster Beakon.

Six thousand meters up.

Numerous unknown mysteries
still hide in this endless sky.

4 -'00 AM.

In Setagaya-ku, office worker
Nobuo Sakai's youngest daughter,

the five-year-old Mikako-chan,
awoke to turn off the TV.

Just then, something happened.

Oh, something's on!

Late at night, in the TV's
cathode-ray tube

A picture of a civilian plane
flying over the East China Sea appeared.

Papa! Papa! Papa, wake up!

Papa“. Papa“. Papa“.!

Hello?

Go?! Turn on the TV right away!

Minami-san, what's wrong?

Turn on the TV now!

The TV?

Nothing's showing at this hour.

But there is! That's why
you need to turn it on now.

Minami-san!

Can you see it, too?

I can't believe it,
but something's really showing!

Is that a Japanese passenger plane?!

Oh! Look out!

Oh!

Oh!

It's not a dream!

At 5:00 AM, an hour after
the mysterious TV broadcast,

an emergency summons was sent
to all MAT members.

The TV camera slowly approached the plane
like a predator stalking its prey.

Then a mysterious beam was fired from
below the camera and the plane fell.

When were you watching that?

The video cut off at 4:10.

I really saw it with my own eyes!

I saw it, too!

At the same time, a Japanese civilian
plane flying over the East China Sea

suffered a mysterious expl*si*n
and crashed.

An hour ago,
we received word from the airport.

So that really was true.

So we were seeing
a TV broadcast of the expl*si*n?

Over 100 homes in Tokyo alone
saw the same thing.

It's likely a powerful signal broadcast
from above the East China Sea

was automatically broadcast via
the communication satellites.

But who placed a TV camera in
such a place and how?

Finding that out is our job.

At 3:00 PM in New York, 9:00 AM in Hawaii,
and 10:00 PM in Moscow,

the same broadcast was seen.

Look. We're swamped with
investigation requests from every branch.

A MAT Arrow flew over
the East China Sea immediately.

MAT Arrow 1 to HQ. Arriving over
the East China Sea momentarily.

Huh?

-It looks like the radar's broken.
-What?!

Impossible! The signal's being absorbed!

The signal?

Oh! What is that?!

Oh! It's a monster!

Go, contact HQ!

Right!

MAT Arrow 1 to HQ! MAT Arrow 1 to HQ!

MAT Arrow 1 to HQ!

I can't reach them!

That's impossible!

This is Ueno! HQ, please respond!

Oh! I can't believe it!
The monster's absorbing the signal!

Oh! That's the mysterious beam!
That beam took down the plane!

Here goes!

It got away.

Did you get aerial photos?

Yeah, I did.

Okay. Let's go back for now.

1:00 PM.
The monster's identity was revealed.

Let's call it "Beakon" for now.

Beakon is a space monster
that lives in the ionosphere

and absorbs electric signals in the air.

Basically it's a new type of monster that
consumes electric signals for energy.

It eats electric signals?

Yeah. Even millimetric waves used in radar

are absorbed by oxygen
and water vapor in the air.

Not only that, Beakon has the ability
to transmit its own signals.

In other words, we can assume that
Beakon's whole body is like a TV station.

So that TV broadcast was Beakon's doing.

But, for Beakon, the Tokyo skies
must be like a food warehouse.

It'll definitely come to Tokyo.

I'm warning you. Don't screw this up.

Our fight could be broadcast to the world
through Beakon's camera eyes.

CQ-15, CQ-15.

CQ-15, CQ-15.

Huh?

This is JA1-JRQ. This is JA1-JRQ.

2:00 PM.

In Edogawa-ku, construction worker
Shin Nakamura's 11-year-old eldest son

Tsutomu's 21 MHz ham radio signal
suddenly disappeared.

Tsutomu-kun had finally earned
his radio operator license

and had promised to contact
his friend, George, in America.

Haruhiko-san.

You understand, don't you?

Sanae-san, I...

Don't say anything.

Huh? The TV's on.

No you don't.

I get to choose the channel
during the day.

Tsutomu, what about your radio?

It's weird. I can't reach anyone.

There's a w*r program on right now.
Can I change it?

No.

Aww. Boring.

I wanted to believe that it was
what was best for you, too.

Haruhiko-san,

I can't leave my husband.

Without his backing,
my father's business can't go on.

Considering my father...

But what about your happiness?

You should leave a husband
you don't even love.

Sanae-san.

Let's walk a bit.

Tsutomu, what is this?

I didn't change it.

Oh, it's a passenger plane!

Control tower, come in. Come in.

Control tower, come in. Come in!

I can't reach them!

Polar patrol to base control tower!

My compass is malfunctioning!

It's all right. Please stay calm.
Don't worry.

It's not good! I can't control it!

Oh! It's MAT Arrow! Cool!

MAT Arrow, please respond. MAT Arrow!

I can't reach them.

Beakon is consuming the signal.

MAT'S weak.

Haruhiko-san.

We can't see each other anymore, can we?

Sanae-san.

RETURN OF ULTRAMAN

We attacked without authorization.

It couldn't be helped.
The monster was absorbing all signals.

All signals on the ground within 1 km of
where it flies are being consumed

and all functions are paralyzed.

If we approach, it eats our signals
and we have to fight blind.

Fighting it without radar or radio
or computers will be difficult.

What if we stopped all signals above
Tokyo, or better yet, throughout Japan?

I-If we did that, then it would really be
chaos on the ground!

But driving Beakon away from
above Tokyo should be a priority.

Already two passenger planes
have crashed because of it!

Go, is there a way to drive Beakon out
above the ocean?

Electric signals are Beakon's food.
We use that food to lure it.

How?!

We stop all electric signals in Tokyo.

Then, we fly a MAT Arrow over
the ocean transmitting a signal.

It's sure to take the bait.

Once it's lured out over the ocean,
we finish it with missiles.

5:00 PM. All electric signals in Tokyo
were stopped.

And a single MAT Arrow, carrying Minami,

flew to the Pacific, while transmitting
a high frequency signal.

Now come on, Beakon.

HQ to MAT Arrow.

Once this signal is out, that's proof
that Beakon's taken the bait.

Once the signal is cut, we'll launch
the MAT Arrow 1 loaded with missiles.

Keep communicating until then.

Roger.

I'm currently over Sakurajima.

Has the signal been out yet?

Not yet.

Radar is normal.

MAT Arrow to HQ. Is the signal normal?

It's still normal.

That's strange.

It should have latched on by now.

Oh no! A different signal is
transmitting from Edogawa-ku!

What?!

It's a 210,000 Hz high frequency signal.

It's an amateur radio!

CQ-15, CQ-15.

Huh? It cut off again.

CQ-15, CQ-15.

This is JA1 -JRQ.

This is JA1 -JRQ.

CQ-15, CQ-15, come in.

Minami, Beakon's appeared
in Edogawa-ku!

What?!

Return immediately!

Roger!

Go, come in!

This is Go, go ahead.

The ham radio signal is coming from
around 2nd Street, Yamato-cho.

Roger. Heading to 2nd Street,
Yamato-cho immediately.

George-kn“, George-kn“, can you hear me?

George-kn“.

Oh!

NAKAMURA GROUP

Oh!

Hey! Hold on! Are you all right?!

Tsutomu!

Hurry and get out of here!

Sunset. The battle was over.

Mikako-chan, the TV won't Show
anything anymore.

Beakon was defeated by Ultraman.

You should get back to bed.

If your daddy or mommy find you,
they'll spank you.

Everyone, next week, MA T's new captain
from the New York HQ is coming.

The first enemy Captain Ibuki and Go
will work together to defeat

is Monster Gokinezura
that feasts on plastic.

Watch again next week.
