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

As the video progressed to the middle, the background music gradually shifted to urgent and somber strings.

The scene shifts to the riverbank, where Bio deliberately rushes towards the children at the nursery, inducing Aihara Ryu to fire his gun—the point of conflict that erupts.

"Next, we will focus on breaking down the most thrilling climax of this episode—the standoff on the riverbank."

"When many viewers saw Aihara Ryu shoot and injure Bio, their first reaction might be that Ryu was too impulsive, and some comments even criticized Ryu for not learning his lesson."

"But please think carefully from Aihara Ryu's perspective at the time: a hideous alien creature, having shed its disguise, opened its claws toward the unarmed children."

"As a defense officer, his duties, as well as muscle memory, require him to make decisions in fractions of a second."

"In that instant, the instinct to protect civilians overwhelmed everything else, and he had no choice but to fire!"

"And this is exactly what Bio has carefully set up as a psychological trap."

"Bio wants to prove one thing to the entire universe—fifty years later, when faced with unknown aliens, Earthlings will still pull the trigger without hesitation!"

Old Tang deliberately paused the video here, focusing on Aihara Ryu's pale and stiff face.

"Look at Long's expression. When he learned that Bio had deliberately lured him into firing, and that the alien in front of him was the biological son of the investigator who was killed years ago, what a terrifying mental blow he suffered!"

"Bio's question was piercing: 'Weren't the people who died here innocent?'"

"The investigator you shot dead like a wild beast was my biological father!"

"At this moment, the mirror image of hatred perfectly overlaps."

"When Aihara Ryu looked at Bio in front of him, it was like looking in a mirror."

"He saw himself in the ruins, heartbroken after losing Captain Serizawa, his heart filled only with a vengeful rage!"

"Both of them were blinded by hatred after the tragic deaths of their loved ones."

"If this vicious cycle isn't broken, the tragedy of fifty years ago will not only be repeated on this riverbank, but it will continue in an even more horrific way, generation after generation!"

The comments section erupted with rapid responses on the screen:

Bio's accusations were truly shocking.

[The cycle of hatred is endless: you kill my father, I kill your civilians.]

Brother Long was completely stunned at the time, but he could probably also sense the other person's excruciating pain.

The key point is that Bio is truly in the right; humanity did indeed make a mistake back then, and there's no way to refute that.

In the video, Old Tang took a deep breath, his tone becoming exceptionally solemn:

"And at the crucial moment when the monster Zoa Murucci emerges from its cocoon and Mebius suffers setbacks in his arduous battle in the mud, Gu Nan arranged the most breathtaking and divine scene in the entire series for Aihara Ryu!"

In the scene, torrential rain pours down and thunder tears the sky apart.

Aihara Ryu slowly stood up from the mud. Under Bio's mocking and angry gaze, he turned his sidearm around, and the cold muzzle pressed firmly against his heart!

"Everyone, please look at this storyboard!"

"Aihara Ryu didn't shoot Bio. Even if he had just shot Bio, the psychic powers would have been dispelled, the monster would have stopped its rampage, and the crisis could have been resolved with minimal military cost."

"But he didn't do that."

"Because he knew that if he fired here, humanity would forever be branded as barbaric and brutal, and the sins of fifty years ago would never be washed away!"

"Aihara Ryu chose to point the gun at himself, using his own life to apologize to Bio and repay the blood debt humanity owed fifty years ago!"

"The dragon's lines were incredibly powerful—'On behalf of all humanity, I apologize to you!'"

"Your father died protecting a poor child from Earth, and today, I intend to follow in his footsteps!"

"I will never kill you, because you look exactly like me!"

"Find the truth of what happened back then in another way, instead of dragging innocent bystanders down with you!"

"Count down to five, and pull the trigger without hesitation!"

"In the last microsecond, Bio used his telekinesis to shatter the pistol into countless pieces!"

"Bio completely broke down at that moment, because he was no longer facing an aggressor who was sophistry, evasion, or resorting to violence, but a young man who was truly willing to bear the sins of history with his life and to uphold his will to protect others with his blood!"

"With this shot, Aihara Ryu proved to the entire universe that humanity has indeed made irreparable mistakes, but humanity is by no means an incorrigible savage!"

"We dare to confront our own ugliness, and we dare to break the shackles of hatred in the most heroic way!"

What should we say when we encounter this kind of person?

【man!】

[Brother Long is a real man!]

Only an impulsive, hot-blooded idiot would do something like this.

A clenched fist cannot be shaken.

[To apologize with one's own life, to sever the chain of hatred—that's truly noble.]

[He must have been moved at the moment when Bio's telekinetic power shattered the weapon.]

Yes, but no one can forgive for him... not even Ultraman. As a direct victim, he cannot forgive the sins committed by humanity. So what right does someone who is almost a bystander have to forgive humanity on their behalf?

Back then, Kingsoft had the ability to release monsters but chose peaceful communication; now, Dragon has the ability to attack Bio, but chooses to apologize.

Only by exchanging the weight of our lives can we truly face each other!

[Gu Nan is an expert at writing dramatic scenes; this passage is full of tension and impeccable!]

The video pauses briefly, then switches to another incredibly moving shot set in the torrential rain—

Wearing a gray monk's robe, a straw hat, and holding a wooden staff, Hideki Sangyo slowly appeared from the depths of the rain.

Old Tang's voice softened, filled with deep nostalgia and respect:

"Now that we've talked about Aihara Ryu, let's take a look at the biggest surprise for veteran tokusatsu fans in this episode—the return of Go Hideki, also known as Ultraman Jack."

"Although Hideki Go didn't transform, his appearance was even more shocking than Jack's."

"Look closely at Hideki Go's attire when he appears: a gray robe, a wooden staff in his hand, like a wandering monk."

"Young viewers unfamiliar with the old tokusatsu series might think he's just an ordinary reclusive elder."

"But longtime fans will definitely be moved to tears when they see this!"

Old Tang pulled up a comparison clip from episode 33 of "The Return of Ultraman" on the left side of the video screen.

"Fifty years ago, it was Captain Ibuki of the MAT team who, dressed in this monk's outfit, braved the torrential rain to find Hideki Go, who was disheartened and refused to transform."

"And fifty years later, Hideki Go, a descendant of that generation, also donned this monk's robe, just like the old captain back then, appearing before a bewildered and uncertain future in the pouring rain on the same riverbank!"

"This is a historical cycle that spans half a century!"

The live chat immediately erupted with exclamations of admiration:

[I knew that old scoundrel Gu wouldn't just randomly arrange the styling!]

[It's all a fucking tribute!]

[Captain Ibuki's will was passed down to Mebius through Hideki Go, thus fulfilling its purpose.]

[So that was the Easter egg!]

The cycle of karma is real; the young people of yesteryear are now pioneers guiding the next generation.

[This scene is also a tribute; the torrential rain shows that heroes don't shed tears, so the sky rains down.]

The streets of the village are already a mess!

It's like Jinshan is throwing a tantrum!

Old Tang pointed to Hideki Go's gaze fixed on the future in the image and continued his analysis:

"The streets are already a mess, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

"The line is the same as it was fifty years ago, only the person saying it has changed."

"It appears calm, but it carries immense weight."

"At that time, I was in a lot of pain and conflict."

"As an alien, as a giant of light, after learning of humanity's brutal sins, he didn't know whether his transformation to fight was for justice or to be a tool for humanity to cover up its mistakes."

"And Hideki Go's words completely awakened the future."

"Ultraman has never been a god or judge, nor is he a weapon exclusive to any particular civilization."

"Disaster strikes, cities descend into chaos, and the lives of innocent people are threatened—this is the harsh reality unfolding."

"Protecting life requires no excuses. We cannot stand by and watch an even greater tragedy unfold before our eyes just because of the sins of our predecessors."

The streets are already a mess.

It's not about telling him to give up on the future, but about telling him that there are many innocent people who were not involved in or witnessed this tragedy.

"You can see the big picture from small details, but there will always be a small group of people who hold onto hope, uphold the bottom line, and try to do better."

Ultraman protects a group of people, not hoping the future will get better, but believing that the future will become better because of their efforts!

"This is not to excuse evil, but to stop the disaster from escalating, and to protect the future we've all envisioned!"

"Ultraman isn't a weapon of Earthlings. He simply couldn't stand idly by while lives were caught in this crisis."

"That's the whole reason why Mebius stepped forward!"

This is such a righteous idea; the disaster won't stop because of debate.

Ultraman's protection stems from reverence for life, not from moral judgment.

Xiaomeng's resolute and upright figure in the heavy rain is so cool.

[The fight isn't about venting hatred, but about protecting dreams—it echoes the theme song!]

This is the true light!

The video progress bar reached the last ten minutes, and the scene shifted to the base command room as the sun set.

Old Tang's expression became particularly focused:

Finally, we need to focus on how this episode ended.

"I think this is the most mature and sophisticated part of the entire series—it doesn't have a happy ending!"

In the scene, under a clear sky, Bio did not accept Aihara Ryu's offer to shake hands.

He merely lifted his robe slightly, revealing a handkerchief printed with a bear pattern, and left behind that meaningful farewell:

"Let's save the handshake... for when Father's legacy blossoms."

Old Tang, in sync with the visuals, earnestly said:

"Everyone, take a moment to consider what Bio did."

"Many low-level screenwriters, when writing this part, often have the two sides meet and forgive each other with a smile, hug each other and cry their hearts out, or even become allies on the spot."

"But Gu Nan didn't do that! The hatred spans fifty years. How could the blood feud of our fathers, the grievances and pain we bear, simply vanish in a few minutes of conversation and a blank shot?"

"If it were written like that, it would be a grave disrespect for historical tragedy!"

"Bio refused to shake hands, but he kept the handkerchief the children had given him."

"He did not completely forgive humanity, but he relinquished his destructive tendencies."

"He acknowledged Aihara Ryu's sense of responsibility and also felt the innocence of the new generation of children."

"This 'hand that hasn't yet been clasped' is precisely the most authentic blank space in the entire episode—the beginnings of understanding have sprouted, but true reconciliation requires a long time to nurture, and requires both civilizations to jointly prove it with enduring goodwill!"

The screen was flooded with comments expressing their feelings:

Refusing to shake hands is the most reasonable approach; hatred needs time to dissipate.

The use of negative space was masterful; it preserved dignity for both sides.

[Alas, it's a pity they never found Jinshan's spaceship. How could they have known that flowers would bloom on Jinshan's legacy?]

[Our own people aren't necessarily good people, and our enemies aren't necessarily bad people. Fanatical xenophobia and populism will ultimately only harm ourselves and others.]

Finally, an ellipsis was added here as well...

Old Tang switched the scene to the final investigation report by Mu Zhimei and the future in the main program.

"Of course, while revealing the cruelty, Gu Nan also gave us the warmest light of redemption."

"The principal Saito, whom Kinoko visited, was inspired by the earnest longing of a boy for the old man from Planet Metz that he heard from Sakuma Ryo, who was diligently digging in the soil. This inspired him to establish 'Friends Nursery School' and pass on this interstellar inclusiveness from generation to generation."

"And the universal language that Kinoshita taught the children became the first crack that melted Bio's murderous intent."

"But what shocked me the most was the mysterious funding record that was later reported!"

Old Tang's voice was filled with undisguised emotion:

"Yoko, who risked being ostracized by the entire town to secretly slip a bag of hot bread to Sakuma Ryo on the cold, despairing streets, tragically died in a car accident in her early thirties."

"But for the next ten years or so, an anonymous remittance was consistently sent to the orphan left behind by Miss Yoko, silently supporting the child through university!"

"Who sent the money?"

"No name was recorded in the file, but every viewer in front of the screen knew in their hearts—that was Sakuma Ryo, who was digging alone in the mud back then!"

Old Tang deliberately cut out the image of Captain Poshui holding a coffee cup and smiling gently.

"Listen to Captain Sakakizumi's assessment—'Why do we need evidence for something like this?'"

"Sometimes, even a person themselves may not fully understand their own true feelings... Just believe what you think is right."

"Fifty years ago, the whole world offered the boy only a bag of bread as a gesture of goodwill."

"Fifty years later, the young man repaid the warmth of that bag of bread a thousandfold to the descendants of his benefactor with his own life!"

"This is a closed loop of goodwill! This is the true 'legacy of the monster messengers'!"

"Legacy is never a ferocious monster, nor endless hatred, but rather the fire of understanding sown by that alien scholar who traveled from afar, that Earth boy who grew up in hardship, and those who, even amidst the cracks of prejudice and narrow-mindedness, still chose to open their arms!"

"As long as this flame remains burning, the darkness of civilization will eventually be dispelled by its light!"

[It has been elevated.]

【God comes back! 】

This world is not a beautiful place, and humanity is not always kind, but you should not give up hope; you must strive for a better future for humanity.

As Lao Tang delivered his impassioned and heartfelt speech, the background music of the video changed to a soothing and melodious ending theme.

Old Tang let out a long sigh of relief, and a gentle smile appeared at the end of the video:

"This episode, 'The Legacy of the Monster Messenger,' has reached a near-perfect artistic level in terms of plot arrangement, character arcs, and philosophical exploration of historical issues."

"Gu Nan used this masterpiece to prove to everyone that tokusatsu works can also carry the most profound humanistic reflections."

"Alright, that concludes today's in-depth teardown. If you found Old Tang's analysis helpful, please give it a like, comment, and share to show your support!"

"See you next week at the same time."

The video progress bar reached its end, and the screen slowly turned into a deep black, marking the official conclusion of this 40-minute in-depth analysis.
