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

A week has passed as scheduled.

The Bilibili playback page refreshed on time, and episode 28 of "Ultraman Mebius" was officially released amidst the eager anticipation of tokusatsu fans across the internet.

People on various platforms are speculating about the meaning behind the recall order sent to Mebius at the end of the last episode.

Clearly, the answer to this question will be revealed in this episode.

Accompanied by a deep and solemn voice-over, the images of the Ultra Brothers fighting bravely in the Showa era slowly flash across the screen.

Then, the title of this episode was prominently displayed in the center of the screen—"The Day of Parting".

[It's here! Be on time! Why does this episode title have such an ominous feel to it?]

Wow! The last episode left us hanging! It seems like Xiaomeng was recalled?

[The day of parting? Does this mean Xiaomeng is leaving?]

【Wait, how many episodes are there yet?】

Please don't send any angst, is this episode going to be another disaster?

[I have to say, watching the opening music now, that epic feel of the Showa era is back!]

Bathed in golden light.

Father of Ultra and Mother of Ultra stood side by side, their expressions solemn.

An Ultra Signature, traversing the cosmos, travels through the sea of ​​stars and establishes a mental connection with the future on Earth.

A consciousness of the future emerged in the light, its tone urgent yet puzzled:

"Captain, why can't I stay on Earth?"

The voice of Father of Ultra was steady and carried an unshakeable majesty:

"An unpredictable and immense crisis is approaching Earth; it is a powerful vanguard from the depths of darkness."

"That's why, if I weren't on Earth, humanity would..."

"Don't worry, your brother is already on his way to Earth."

Father of Ultra interrupted the future's words:

"If you were to face such an enemy now, you would surely perish."

The future looked resolute, showing no sign of backing down:

"It doesn't matter!"

"If it's for the sake of Earth, I'm willing to give up my life!"

The voice of Father of Ultra grew increasingly stern:

"Mebius!"

[Holy crap! Father Oak has issued a mandatory recall order?!]

[This means the upcoming enemy is ridiculously strong!]

What level of monster is Xiaomeng going to face?

[Afraid that Xiaomeng would die, they switched to Taro? What good parents.]

[Ultraman Taro's Heart, it's not that easy to die.]

[This "return" command can be roughly understood as: "The child is in danger outside, come home."]

[Instructor Taro is on his way! The Showa-era instructor will personally substitute!]

"I would give up my life for the Earth," this cat has already come to regard the Earth as its home in its very bones.

Telepathic communication is cut off.

It was evening, and only Mirai and Captain Sakami remained in the command room.

They seemed to sense their resentment and uncertainty about the future.

Captain Sakami simply patted him on the shoulder.

He just sighed and didn't say anything more.

Looking at the command center in the future, which he now considers his home, he sees it as a place he has come to live in.

His mind kept replaying the moments he shared with his teammates.

This kind of everyday life is becoming disillusioning.

The time he spent on Earth, those days and nights fighting alongside his teammates, had long since become an inseparable part of his heart.

Faced with the absolute orders of the highest leader of the Land of Light and the impending devastating disaster, the young warrior was plunged into unprecedented pain.

He didn't know how to talk to his companions, let alone how to say goodbye.

[Does the captain already know...?]

[Sigh, the thought that Mebius might not be able to return for many years once he goes back is heartbreaking for anyone!]

The poor cat, it breaks my heart to see it.

[His voice and appearance are still vivid in my mind...]

Why does this place feel like everyone's been wiped out and is reminiscing about the past...?

After a whole night of deep thought, the future made a decision—before leaving, to see each of her important partners one last time and leave them with her own mementos.

Early morning, at Tang Zheping's home.

A rich aroma wafted from the kitchen. Tang Zheping, rubbing his sleepy eyes, walked down the stairs and froze on the spot.

All I could see was Future wearing an apron, bringing a steaming plate of curry rice to the table.

"Teppei, breakfast is ready, please enjoy!"

The future greets with a smile.

Tang Zheping rubbed his eyes, his face full of disbelief:

"Good morning... Huh??? The future?!!!!"

"Why are you at my house so early in the morning?"

"And they made me curry rice first thing in the morning?!"

Tang Zheping's mother smiled and said from the side:

"Wow, I'll be cooking in the future! This curry smells so good."

"Tetsuehei, stop complaining and eat up. The curry Mirai makes is really delicious."

In the future, she took off her apron and looked intently at Tang Zheping:

"It must be very tough for Teppei, who has to juggle his heavy workload at GUYS and his studies at medical school."

"So I want to give Teppei some extra stamina."

"And this is for you."

"Old Tang, you must become an outstanding doctor in the future."

Tang Zheping took the amulet, somewhat stunned, but still managed a happy smile:

"Okay, thank you. I will cherish this memory in the future."

[Old Tang: A bowl of hot curry first thing in the morning completely stunned me.]

What's even more outrageous is that my best friend showed up at my house this morning.

[She'll even cook in the future! A true homebody!]

[I remember the Crown Prince was a foodie too, and Xiao Meng can cook. The two of them are such a perfect match!]

The moment this amulet was given away, a strong aura of farewell wafted over it...

Old Tang probably thought it was just a casual visit, but it made me feel a little sad.

[By the way, from which monster did this get pulled from its mouth?]

[Suddenly I realized that his farewell might not have been because he was leaving, but because he might be dying in battle...]

【Ahhh? No knife please!】

The camera briefly cuts to the universe.

A red sphere is hurtling toward Earth at high speed.

Afterwards, they went to the kindergarten where Kinoshita attends.

Under the bright sunshine, the children gathered around the table, happily folding origami.

In the future, sitting among the children, he patiently guided them, folding a small and exquisite sailboat in his hands.

"The sailboat that our future teacher folded is so beautiful!"

The children cheered with joy.

Then, everyone started origami together.

Soon, the day at kindergarten came to an end.

As the parents gradually picked up their children, Mu Zhimei couldn't help but sigh:

"In the future, you acted more like a professional teacher than I did today. You were exhausted when you came last time."

Future scratched her hair a little sheepishly:

"I studied it a little in private, hoping to be of more help to Kinoshita."

He took out a small rabbit-shaped amulet from his pocket and handed it to Mu Zhimei:

"Ki no Mi, this is for you."

Kinoko received the rabbit amulet with delight and clutched it tightly to her chest:

"What an adorable bunny!"

"Thank you. In the future, I will definitely cherish it as my most precious treasure."

[A cute little bunny amulet! Isn't it adorable!]

[The future truly puts in effort; each person's talisman is custom-made based on their unique characteristics.]

[Kino was still immersed in her warm daily life, completely unaware that the future held her final farewell.]

With each farewell to a dear friend, the red ball draws one step closer...

So, is that red ball Taro or a monster?

The scene shifts to a motorcycle repair shop in the suburbs.

The air was filled with the smell of engine oil. Mirai was holding tools and earnestly assisting former GUYS member Shinjo in preparing the race car.

When Marina Kazama pushed open the door and walked in, she was stunned and stood there in shock when she saw Mirai covered in oil stains.

Marina's coach, Shinjo, wiped the sweat from his brow and smiled at Marina, saying:

"This kid is very quick and efficient. He was just urging me to get back to the track soon and drive the car that everyone has tuned to participate in the World Championship."

Marina paused slightly, then turned to look at the future:

"In the future, do you really think that I took a roundabout route because you invited me to join GUYS?"

The future lowered its head and remained silent.

Marina stepped forward, her eyes clear and firm:

"That's not true at all."

"On the contrary, I am very grateful to you for inviting me to join the defense force."

"Although I have temporarily left the motorcycle racing scene, this is definitely not a detour."

"Everything I experienced at GUYS has honed my character. I believe that as long as I work hard at GUYS, I will be able to overcome any difficulties I face in the future!"

Hearing these heartfelt words, Future's eyes welled up with tears.

He solemnly took out a colorful stone amulet that radiated a warm luster from his pocket and handed it to Marina:

"Marina, please accept this. It's a talisman. Please keep up the good work."

Marina paused for a moment, then accepted the amulet and smiled brightly:

"Okay! Leave it to me!"

[How come he can do everything? Hahaha!]

【Motorcycle Cat】

[Let me handle everything manually!]

[Did the new city not crash a plane, but a car?]

Marina's line in this scene is amazing: "Everything I experienced at GUYS was definitely not a detour!"

Taking the long way around is my shortcut!

He keeps everyone's worries and dreams in his heart; he truly considers everyone the most important person in his life.

[It's so cute to think of Xiaomeng carefully making each one... The little cat is working hard.]

Then, the scene cuts to another red ball flying towards Earth, seemingly warning that the crisis is getting closer.

At this time, the prince was still en route to Earth...

Taro has truly become a comma.

The next scene: a city football pitch.

George the Dove is in front of the goal, practicing shooting with a group of children.

As the ball rolled, it came to a stop at Future's feet.

George looked up and was somewhat surprised by the upcoming visit.

After exercising, the two sat on the lawn.

"Wow, that's impressive! You managed to steal the ball from my feet. You're quite skilled!"

The future smiled and said:

"I wanted to do something for George, but George is really good on the court."

Future took out a fourth amulet from his pocket and handed it to George:

"We look forward to your early return to the Spanish league, so that audiences around the world can once again witness your unstoppable shooting prowess!"

George took the amulet, his eyes gleaming with confidence:

"Okay! Leave it to me!"

"When I make my comeback, I'll definitely invite you and Long to come and watch it live!"

Looking at George's spirited figure, Wei Lai nodded slightly, but a hint of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

[A meteoric shot! George's dream has always been there!]

"You absolutely have to come watch my match live..." ... Waaah, I might never see that again.

[Little Meng excels in everything – moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and practical!]

[Aide-de-camp (with a thick face): Kids, does anyone remember me?]

[Giving away four amulets in a row—this farewell is way too heavy-handed!]

[Could these amulets really be made from monster materials?]

[How many monsters suffered, their horns plucked, their fur pulled out, their bodies thoroughly gutted, hahahahahaha]

Nighttime, inside the command center of GUYS' Asia headquarters.

Tang Zheping, Mu Zhimei, Kazama Marina, and Ikaruga George gathered around the round table and took out the amulets they had received.

"Did he go to the stadium to see George today too?"

Marina looked at the amulet on the table, resting her chin on her hand in confusion.

George the Dove shrugged:

"Yeah, that kid gave me a talisman and kept encouraging me to get back to the competition as soon as possible."

Tang Zheping pushed the documents beside him:

"This morning, my friend came to my house early to make curry rice and also gave me a handmade amulet, wishing me to become an excellent doctor."

Kinoko looked down at the rabbit amulet in her palm, her delicate brows furrowing slightly, her eyes filled with deep worry.

"Don't you all think... their actions over the next two days are extremely unusual?"

Aihara Ryu happened to walk by, holding a water glass in his hand:

"What are you talking about?"

"That incredible energy that kid has in the future didn't just start recently."

He then looked at the amulets in everyone's hands with a curious expression.

Marina turned to look at the dragon:

"Speaking of which, isn't it your turn to take a day off tomorrow, Long?"

"Will you ask me out in the future?"

Marina grinned mischievously and started making a fuss:

"Maybe tomorrow I'll have a special date with a dragon!"

[Haha, I'm shipping Manami!]

[Judging from the word "date," I dare say Long definitely got the female lead's script!!!]

[Only the dragon hasn't arrived yet, hahaha.]

[Dragon: Why didn't you send me anything?]

The dragon's mouth was practically stretched to the heavens in a wide grin.

At first, only Sakizumi drank coffee, but now everyone does!

Aihara Ryu glared at George Marina with annoyance:

"Want to go on a date with me?"

"Are you kidding me!"

"I'm not kidding..."

Kinoshita's voice lowered, and her tone trembled slightly:

"I think... he might be planning to leave GUYS in the future."

The command room fell silent instantly.

Aihara Ryu's smile froze instantly.

Aihara Ryu was unwilling to believe it, because it was precisely because of their unwavering determination and persistence that they, a group of people with different personalities, were brought together to form the GUYS Defense Force as it is today.

In Aihara Ryu's heart, the future is an irreplaceable comrade-in-arms and his most cherished partner.

He absolutely cannot accept the future leaving without saying goodbye.

[Kinoko is so observant; she was the first to notice the truth.]

[Early childhood educators' awareness of children's thoughts]

[Not just GUYS, he's even preparing to leave this world...]

[It felt like the cat's eyes were constantly glistening with tears throughout the entire episode...]

[Seriously, the dragon is the real female lead!]

[Ryu truly considers the future his most important partner!]

[Initially, it was Future who brought everyone together, but now Future is leaving quietly alone. How can Dragon possibly bear it?]

The somber atmosphere of farewell, coupled with the incredibly tight pacing of the plot.

The following afternoon, sunlight streamed onto the park benches along the street.

Aihara Ryu was sitting at one end of the bench, holding a sandwich in his hand.

Future sat beside him, head down, silently looking at the ground, looking somewhat forlorn.

"I'm talking about the future."

Aihara Ryu broke the silence by getting straight to the point.

"Why did you suddenly call me here to eat sandwiches with you?"

"What are you thinking?"

In the future, she reached out and took the sandwich, her voice soft:

"Isn't it enough to be with important people like this?"

Aihara Ryu turned his head, his gaze piercingly fixed on the eyes of the future:

"I've come to see you today because I have something to ask you!"

"These past two days you've visited Teppei, Kino, Marina, and George, and given each of them a talisman."

"Tell me honestly, you don't want to work at GUYS anymore?!"

Future's body trembled slightly, her hands gripping the sandwich wrapper tightly, and she fell into a long silence.

He couldn't reveal his identity as an Ultra Warrior, nor could he utter the cruel order for the Land of Light to recall him.

Looking at the silence of the future, Aihara Ryu sat in his chair.

Why are you silent?

"If there's anything you need, just tell me."

"We are comrades-in-arms who fought side by side!"

"What is it that you can't tell everyone?"

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Wei Lai stood up and stared solemnly at the sky.

Just as Aihara Ryu was about to press for clarification!

A blinding flash of lightning streaked across the sky without warning!

"BOOM—!!!"

A dull, loud bang tore through the clear sky, and the ground within a radius of several kilometers shook violently!

A giant red ball bursts forth in the center of the city!

What followed was a gigantic, pitch-black robot!

Inside the command center at the Asia headquarters, a piercing alarm sounded.

"Captain! A high-energy reaction has occurred in the city center!"

"The radar failed to detect the enemy's trajectory in advance, and there was no warning signal from the space station!"

"It's like it suddenly appeared on the Earth's surface!"

Captain Shosui's expression was extremely solemn:

"Don't push yourself... everyone go!"

"GUYS, Sally, go!"

In the city center square, a violent shockwave shook the surrounding buildings, making them teeter on the brink of collapse.

Amidst the billowing dust, a colossal mechanical giant, clad in dark gold heavy armor and sporting a triple-barreled Gatling gun on its head, began to move!

The Unrivaled Iron God – Impreza!

Its face exuded a cold aura, and the two giant cannons on its shoulders slowly aimed at the bustling streets. A violent fireball instantly exploded wildly in the city!

Flames shot into the sky, and thick smoke billowed everywhere!

Beside a park bench, Aihara Ryu's communicator crackled with the order to launch.

Aihara Ryu quickly stood up, pressed the intercom, and shouted:

"GIG!"

"In the future, even here, we'll see enemies!"

He turned to look at the future beside him. The city before him had turned into a sea of ​​fire, and an unprecedented sense of crisis instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.

Standing beside him, Future slowly raised his head and gazed at the rampaging mechanical giant in the distance, his eyes flashing with a resolute light.

The formidable enemy that Father of Ultra spoke of, capable of bringing destruction, has finally arrived!

Is this robot the boss who can threaten Ultraman's life?

[His eyes have changed in the future; he will absolutely not back down!]

[Oh no, oh no, is it really going to turn from "leaving" to "dying in battle"?]
