Story

Both the anime and the manga manga act as a follow-up story after the Ültraman Gaint of Light”. Since much time has passed since the events and happenings of Gaint of Light, Ultraman has returned home. He still has the memories of fighting the huge monsters, they are not aliens that invaded the earth. Shin Hayata, aka Ultraman, now leads a pretty normal life until his son grew up. After Shinjiro grew up, he realized that he possessed some strange superpowers that were quite similar to Ultraman’s. That was when Shin revealed that he was the Ultraman.

Shinjiro now takes away the succession and now walks that path of his father. He took on as the new Ultraman and now takes on the battle against aliens invading Earth. You will see the whole process of Shinjiro pick up as the Ultraman and gradually grow stronger, living up to the image of such a powerful being.

Previously on Ultraman

The anime series Ultraman was discontinued on April 1, 2019 with Season 1. The first episode was titled “A Power That Shouldn’t be on this Earth”. As we are well aware of the plot, anime started the time after the battle of Gaint of Light. We saw a young Shinjiro in a museum who witnessed some memories from Ultraman’s time. However, being extremely curious, he fell from the first floor, but recovered surprisingly quickly on good terms. That was the time when Shin realized that he is not normal and has definitely inherited the Ultraman powers. In Episode 2, Shin revealed that he was the Ultraman and asked Shinjiro to discover his inner strength. To do this, he let it grow in the air with full force and Shinjiro landed safely on his own.

Ide explained how he inherited the Ultraman powers and just like his father. Meanwhile, Shin was fighting a robotic dude who gives him a really tough fight. Shinjiro was frustrated that he can’t do anything to protect his father. But just in time, Ide offered him the Ultraman Man’s Suit and asked him to go and rescue his father. From that day on, Shinjiro took over as the new Ultraman. Initially, Shinjiro obviously seemed weak due to his lack of combat experience, but he eventually became more powerful. In the final episode of Ultraman Season 1, we witnessed Shinjiro, who grew up with his skills. Towards the end we saw Bemular come back, but this time to help them.
