Entertainment: You're asked to make a graduation project, but you're asked to film Ultrama

With the official airing of the tenth episode of "Ultraman Mebius", the popularity of Mebius has reached its highest level since the show started.

The tragic sacrifice of the sword, Mebius's unwavering loyalty, and the miracle of Mother of Ultra's arrival—any one of these plot points could make this episode a masterpiece.

Not to mention, the scene where GUYS members said "We'll stake GUYS's pride" when they were in dire straits, which brought countless viewers to tears in front of their screens, was an absolute tearjerker.

The storyline was top-notch, which led to high popularity, and this unprecedented popularity swept through the entire physical merchandise market the following morning.

The wicked conglomerate B, sensing the opportunity, deliberately chose this early peak of hype to launch pre-orders for a new Mebius figure, starting to aggressively rip off fans.

At 12:00 noon on the second day after the broadcast, Bandai's official mini-program and bilibili member purchase officially launched the SHF figure of Mebius and the sword.

Ultraman Mebius is the main character, so he will be sold through general retail channels and will not be a Tamashii-exclusive item, but the stock is likely to be limited...

The Hunter Knight Sword will be available in a limited edition of 100000 pieces per design, and can only be purchased with full payment upfront.

Its sales soared, and the mini-program even crashed during a human-machine battle, yet it still sold out in just 15 minutes!

The SHF sword, originally priced at 398 yuan on the official website and 8250 yen on the Japanese version, has seen its price skyrocket at a frightening rate on the Huangyu second-hand trading platform.

Transferring orders for 500 yuan, 800 yuan...

Until it broke through the 1000 yuan mark!

Even with prices skyrocketing, they are still incredibly hard to find, truly deserving of the title "sea view property"!

In the future, countless fans who missed out on the initial release will be lamenting on forums with their money in hand, and some will even be willing to pay 1500 yuan just to reorder a brand new product with its shipping box.

That cool silver-blue matte finish revenge armor, paired with knight's beam and lightsaber accessories.

In addition, the character's own highly dramatic tragic heroism has made this figure a top-tier collectible for tokusatsu fans.

Therefore, in the live stream of Lao Tang, a top streamer in the tokusatsu (special effects) category, many netizens started discussing this newly popular sea-view property...

[Old Tang is streaming! ? zdjd?]

[Old Tang! Hand over your SHF sword right now! I know your production crew definitely has insider supply channels!]

[Over 1000 yuan! I hesitated for a second last night, and when I woke up this morning, I found out the price was enough for me to eat pork ribs for half a month!]

[Old Tang, help! These scalpers are outrageous! Can you guys talk to that old scoundrel Gu and get Bandai to increase production?!]

[They betray you if you book in advance, and cause prices to skyrocket if you don't—how is this outrageous!]

[I don't believe Lao Tang doesn't have any; let's quickly hold a lucky draw and give away a few!]

Looking at the screen filled with comments asking for the figurines, Lao Tang shook his head with a wry smile and reached out to adjust the microphone.

"Brothers, I'm not trying to hide anything from you."

Old Tang shrugged helplessly at the camera.

"Believe it or not, even I couldn't get my hands on that SHF sword!"

"BYD I was thinking of calling Gu Laozei to ask him to send me one, but he told me he didn't have any extra."

"He said if I wanted it, he also had an unpainted gray prototype from Bandai, so I could just paint it myself and make do..."

"Don't say I didn't have any, even that old scoundrel Gu didn't have any!"

"I'm just like you now, staring blankly at that exorbitant price of over 1000 yuan."

[This episode is incredible! Official actors were betrayed by official scalpers!]

Even Lao Tang couldn't buy it, and I instantly felt better.

[So, Xiaomeng, do you have a lot of... well, you know? You've got them all!]

[The price of Xiaomeng is also rising! I never expected it to go up like this in online sales!]

If you don't use scarcity marketing, how will anyone know you're playing the "proxy marketing" game?

"666! So the thief never leaves empty-handed, huh?!"

"Alright! You cyber-geeks were right after all. I do have two Xiaomengs. Here's what I'll do: I'll post a giveaway notification after the live stream ends."

"The rest of the brothers can see who turns pale."

"Alright, let's put the figurine thing aside for now."

"The main reason for today's live stream is to summarize and analyze the content of the first ten episodes of 'Ultraman Mebius' that have already aired."

"After all, your main job, Brother Tang, is a content creator and analyst for the film and television section... no... the Ultraman section."

"The first ten episodes, which can also be called the 'Bogaru Arc,' have now officially come to an end."

Old Tang cleared his throat and began his in-depth analysis.

At the same time, a mashup of parts from the first 10 episodes also began to air.

"After watching these ten episodes, I think the core can be summed up in just two words—growth."

"The first priority is future growth."

"Does everyone remember the first episode?"

"Future had just arrived on Earth and had no idea what the point of fighting was. He used the building as cover and ended up getting a severe scolding from Aihara Ryu."

"But if you watch episode ten, it's inside that enclosed magnetic field barrier."

"When the great explosion was about to occur in Bodh Gaya, the future did not choose to run away."

"He forcefully picked up the unconscious sword, shouldered that heavy responsibility, and rushed out of the barrier at the last second."

"He learned to protect, and he learned the bond between companions. This is the awakening of the Ultra Heart."

Indeed, Xiaomeng's growth from being clueless at the beginning to being able to stand on her own now is clearly visible.

[When Long Sang scolded Xiao Meng in the first episode, I even criticized Long Sang in the comments, saying, "What kind of tokusatsu is it if it doesn't involve blowing up buildings?"]

[666, and there are even bloodthirsty spectators!]

[The humans in the show: You're so great, so arrogant!]

"Then there's the growth of our GUYS team."

Old Tang continued:

"At the beginning, GUYS was really a disorganized mess. Everyone had their own lives and dreams and was dragged in forcibly."

"But as the story progresses, you see Marina overcoming her fear of engine noise at a depth of 4,000 meters underwater."

"I chose to unconditionally trust the machine I entrusted my life to, I trusted Aihara Ryu."

"And then there's Kinoko, a timid little girl who wouldn't even dare to fire a gun, but bravely summoned Mikula to fight against the terrifying Bogaru in order to protect everyone."

"Even Tang Zheping, whom I play, has transformed from a theorist who only looks up data in the archives into a tactical core capable of identifying Bogaru's weaknesses and formulating rescue plans at critical moments."

"The words we shouted in our desperate situation: 'We're betting GUYS's pride'."

"That wasn't just empty talk; it was the team spirit we forged through countless brushes with death!"

"After reading the entire script for Ultraman Mebius, I can clearly see the improvement and exploration in Gu Laoze's writing skills."

"Throughout the entire Ultraman Mebius series, while Mirai is undoubtedly the protagonist, the other characters are also very well-developed."

"In some ways, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it half an ensemble drama; it's not just Xiaomeng who grows, but every single warrior in the main cast!"

"The characters in this ensemble drama feel just as alive as the previous works!"

[GUYS is truly the most "grassroots" defense team I've ever seen, but every single one of them is flesh and blood.]

[GIG! GUYS's liveliness is off the charts, awesome!]

[Gu Laozei (Gu Jingting) really knows how to direct ensemble dramas; the casts in his various dramas are all distinctive and memorable!]

At first, I disliked Aihara Ryu, but as I watched, I couldn't help but empathize with him. The realization of not being able to protect anything must be incredibly painful...

I can't do anything... (Password correct!)

Old Tang nodded, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes:

"That guy in the comments is right!"

"That's right. When talking about Ryu-san, we have to mention the most heart-wrenching clue in these ten episodes—the sword, or rather, Captain Serizawa."

"The villain, Bogaru, is very well-developed."

"It's not the kind of monster that just mindlessly destroys everything; it's a cunning, greedy, high-dimensional predator."

"It uses monsters as bait and Earth as its buffet; the sense of oppression is very real."

"And the sword is a tragic hero who is completely consumed by this sense of oppression and hatred."

"The destruction of Arbok clothed him in the armor of revenge."

"He even believed that human life on Earth was inferior, and that any means were acceptable to kill Bogaru."

"But in the end, Captain Serizawa's consciousness kept striving."

"When Aihara Ryu shot him."

"Even if the sword turns back, it pauses at the last moment before it can strike back; that is human emotion fighting against the will to retaliate."

"In the final battle, Jian used his body to shield Bogaru, covering Wei Lai's escape."

"At that moment, the armor of revenge shattered, and the gentle Ultra Warrior of the past returned."

"The arrival of Mother of Ultra not only healed his body, but also redeemed his soul."

"This is more of a symbolic representation of spiritual elevation!"

The scene of the sword lying fallen in the wilderness was truly heartbreaking...

The clash between red and blue, from opposition to cooperation, this dramatic scene is truly masterful!

[Red and blue have always been a classic color pairing, don't you think? Gaia Agul /doge~]
