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

Within the billowing smoke of the industrial park, a blue giant clad in heavy armor with scarlet eyes was recklessly swinging its arms, igniting surrounding buildings one after another, and raging flames swept across the sky.

Confined outdoors.

Aihara Ryu is pleading loudly:

"Please release Captain Serizawa immediately!"

"The person inside isn't a sword or an Ultraman!"

Aihara Ryu's voice was almost cracking, filled with a heart-wrenching obsession and trust:

"He was once a leader of the defense force, and he's the captain I admire!"

Aihara Ryu bowed deeply, solemnly bowing his head to the guards in front of him:

"Please! Let Captain Serizawa fight one more time!"

Serizawa, who was in solitary confinement at that moment, had already heard the shouts outside.

His bond with humanity can never be severed by so-called imposters!

Suddenly, Miki Yuki walked over with a key card and opened the solitary confinement cell to Aihara Ryu's astonishment.

Miki Yuki spoke calmly:

"A counterfeit sword has appeared."

"As headquarters predicted, former Captain Serizawa's innocence can be proven."

A sudden inspiration struck Aihara Ryu, and he blurted out:

"Could it be... that the previous imprisonment was a setup by headquarters to completely clear the captain of suspicion?!"

"certainly."

Meiqi Xue nodded slightly, her tone calm and composed:

"The director and Captain Sakakizumi believed in him from the very beginning."

"Without establishing an absolute alibi under close surveillance, the media and the public will never be able to let go of their prejudices."

Meiqi Xue solemnly issued the order:

"Immediately terminate the surveillance program on Serizawa!"

"Go quickly, Dragon, everyone is waiting."

[As I guessed, the imprisonment was to provide Serizawa with an irrefutable alibi.]

Indeed, as long as Serizawa is imprisoned in full view of everyone, and counterfeit goods vandalizing the city appear outside, GUYS is at least 100% certain that the other party is an imposter.

It would be absurd if everyone in the leadership were to become mentally deficient; Captain Sakakizumi's composure is truly reassuring.

[Even 882 didn't expect Hikari to reveal his identity so directly.]

Who would have thought that Ultraman wouldn't hide his identity anymore?!

"GIG!"

Aihara Ryu saluted excitedly.

The heavy alloy isolation door roared up, and Aihara Ryu, meeting Serizawa's calm eyes, shouted loudly:

"Captain! Let's go and take off his mask!"

Serizawa slowly stood up, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes:

"Walk."

Minutes later, the Wild Goose Wing pierced the howling sky, like a crimson blade tearing through the rolling sea of ​​clouds.

Inside the cockpit, Aihara Ryu skillfully maneuvered the control stick, a glint in his eyes:

"The day I can fly with you again has finally arrived... I'm so happy!"

Sitting in the back seat, Serizawa gazed at the rapidly receding sky outside the porthole, his eyes deep and his voice low and solemn:

"I'm sorry... I'm not the same Serizawa I used to be."

"I am an existence that coexists with the Ultra Warriors."

Aihara Ryu was slightly taken aback:

"What did you suddenly say?"

"The sins that Jian committed are immeasurable, but he has compassion and kindness for the people on this planet."

Serizawa gently stroked the knight's bracers that had been restored to their original position on his wrist, each word clear and distinct:

"I will do anything to clear my name."

"I must prove myself to everyone, and let the people I love know that I am a true Ultraman!"

Aihara Ryu nodded emphatically, his chest heaving with passion:

"Go! Go and prove it!"

"Prove that you are an Ultra Warrior!"

Aihara Ryu pulled hard on the control stick, and the fighter jet drew a sharp dive path in the air:

"The Captain Serizawa I know will never be defeated so easily!"

[Serizawa will no longer sever ties with the sword's past; instead, he will shoulder everything for Hikari.]

Back then, Jian almost went astray in his pursuit of revenge; now, he will rightfully reclaim the honor that belongs to him.

[Long has truly grown into a reliable comrade-in-arms; the tacit understanding between men is simply amazing.]

Flames raged across the ground.

The imposter hunter knight was arrogantly trampling the street with his sword when, just as he was about to strike a building, a deafening sonic boom suddenly exploded in the sky!

As the Wild Goose Wing flew low overhead, a dazzling, dark blue beam of light suddenly burst forth from the cabin, crashing heavily onto the scorched earth like a meteor!

"boom--!"

The violent shockwave churned up the surrounding smoke and debris.

As the light faded, the real Ultraman Hikari stood tall, his deep, noble azure body shimmering with a pure luster under the blazing sun, creating a stark contrast with the fake armored figure opposite him, which was radiating black energy!

Around the battlefield, the civilians who were fleeing in panic were completely stunned.

Countless people stopped in their tracks, staring in utter astonishment at the unbelievable scene before them:

"Look... there are two blue Ultra Warriors?!"

"What exactly happened? Which one is real?!"

[The "True and False Monkey King" segment that's a staple of every season at the Olympics!]

[Upon closer inspection, their auras are completely different; the composure of the genuine Hikari is something the counterfeit can't match.]

But ordinary citizens can't tell the difference; they just see blue giants on both sides.

Upon seeing the real person escape and arrive, a hint of panic and savagery flashed in the eyes of the imposter Babar.

He knew that the conspiracy had been half exposed and he absolutely could not give the other side a chance to turn the tables!

Babar directly imitated the Knight Ray and blasted it at Hikari, but Hikari dodged it by rolling!

However, the missing beam of light struck the building behind it, causing a violent explosion.

This terrified countless people on the ground.

Watching the screams of the ants beneath his feet, Babar grinned maliciously and charged up again.

But the target wasn't Hikari in front of him; instead, it flew straight over the giant's head and viciously blasted at the crowd of people huddled together to evacuate behind it!

Faced with this sudden and despicable sneak attack, Hikari did not hesitate or retreat for even a second.

He suddenly stomped off the ground, his massive blue body becoming an indestructible iron wall, instantly shifting to the front of the fleeing crowd, and using his chest to meet the several violent light bullets head-on!

"Boom! Boom!"

A blinding flash of fire erupted violently from Hikari's chest!

Hikari groaned, his heavy body collapsing onto one knee amidst the rubble. The color timer on his chest, struck by the impact, instantly changed from azure to rapidly flashing scarlet!

"Drip... drip... drip..."

The sound of a rapid heartbeat echoed across the empty ruins.

On the street, the people who had been filled with terror froze completely.

A mother, tightly holding her infant child in her arms, looked up in a daze, her lips trembling:

"Was he... was he protecting us?"

"He was so badly injured saving us..."

"We actually insulted him like that before..."

The fear, prejudice, and suspicion that had filled the crowd were completely shattered in that instant by the giant's unwavering selflessness in protecting them!

[Using their own bodies to block light blasts! If this is the behavior of invaders, then there are no bad people left in the entire universe!]

This approach is incredibly persuasive; it's a thousand times more effective than holding a hundred press conferences!

The blood of protection flows in the veins of every Blue Clan warrior!

Hikari's light is on red! Is that GZ alien's beam that's so powerful?

In the sky, Aihara Ryu's eyes were bloodshot as he frantically pressed the firing switch:

"Get up! Captain Serizawa!!"

The laser beam struck the imposter's head precisely, forcing him to take a half-step back.

Aihara Ryu's voice pierced through the radio waves, echoing throughout the entire world:

"You're an Ultraman warrior!!"

At the edge of the ruins, Mirai, who had just arrived at the battlefield, tightly gripped the Mebium Aura in both hands, preparing to transform and provide support immediately.

However, Hikari, kneeling in the smoke and dust, slowly raised his left hand, interrupting the future action.

"Wait... I'll end this battle."

A sudden tightness gripped my heart:

"But... your current physical condition is too much for you to handle alone!"

"I am no longer alone."

Hikari slowly straightened up.

He could hear his comrades' desperate cries, and behind him were countless human eyes that had turned from suspicion to gratitude and trust.

This bond that transcended race and prejudice transformed into a continuous flow of heat, surging wildly within him!

Hikari flicked his right wrist, and clear energy instantly burst forth from the Knight's Bracers, condensing into a dazzling lightsaber!

Facing the imposter rushing towards him, Hikari slightly lowered his body and slid to the side with incredible agility, his lightsaber bringing down a sharp sword aura!

"Sizzle—!!"

The blazing sword energy precisely shattered the disguised energy layer on the opponent's chest!

Accompanied by a pungent black smoke and violently distorted light and shadow, the imposter let out a painful scream and could no longer maintain its transformation.

The layers of deep blue armor peeled away, revealing a head of striking long golden hair and an ugly true face—the ruler of the Dark Nebula, the Babar alien!

The truth has been fully exposed to the light of day!

The civilians on the ground immediately erupted in gasps and angry shouts:

"Look! That over there is definitely an ugly monster in disguise!"

"We were all fooled by that alien!"

"Hikari is the true Ultra Warrior! Go for it!"

[The true colors have been revealed! The Babar aliens!]

【GZZ!】

[Leo is enraged!]

[Brother Long's shout completely activated the scientists' fighting potential!]

The Babar aliens, having been exposed, were enraged.

He drew a trident blade gleaming with a chilling light from the void, let out a mad shriek, and stabbed wildly at the heavily wounded Hikari!

The blade pierced the air, accompanied by a piercing whistle.

Although Hikari used his fighting skills to dodge sideways repeatedly, the red light of the color timer became increasingly rapid. Under the intense close-combat pressure, his right arm was grazed by the blade again, sending sparks flying, and he staggered backward.

Upon seeing this, the Babar aliens burst into wild laughter:

The trident blade, enveloped in a violent black aura, aimed straight for Hikari's vital chest!

Faced with this deadly attack, Hikari did not retreat an inch.

His eyes reflected the cold glint of the dagger, and a pure, luminous light shone from the depths of his soul.

The creatures that were once destroyed on Arbok, and the pure souls that vanished deep within the earth, felt the warrior's unadulterated will to protect them at this moment, resonating across the boundless sea of ​​stars!

"Buzz—!!"

A holy light erupted from the depths of Hikari's chest!

The heavy shackles once forged by revenge and resentment have now been completely purified by the beliefs they uphold.

According to Hikari's own will, countless particles of light condensed around him to form a brand new suit of armor!

Without a trace of turbidity or darkness, the majestic armor, interwoven with pure silver and ultramarine, fit perfectly onto the giant's body!

The brand-new Hunter Knight Sword – Hero Hikari – has arrived in all its glory!

[The Armor of the Warrior!! It's finally here!!]

[Absolutely stunning! Pure armor, stripped of all artifice!]

[From the armor of vengeance enslaved by hatred, it has been sublimated into the armor of a hero donned according to his own will!]

The Babar aliens have run into a brick wall; even with civil officials on the front lines, there's no saving them!

[And you still think he's a civil servant?!]

"clang--!!"

The trident spear thrust out by the Babar alien with all its might crashed heavily into Hikari's newly formed breastplate.

However, with a crisp, deafening clang of metal, sparks flew everywhere, and not even a tiny scratch was left on the surface of the Warrior's Armor!

On the contrary, the violent force of the recoil made Babar's arms go numb and his tiger's mouth crack!

Hikari stood firm and unmoved, like a mountain.

He slowly raised his gaze, coldly staring at the terrified alien before him, his deep voice carrying an undeniable judgment:

"On this planet... I will never let you continue your rampage!"

Before he finished speaking, Hikari's right hand transformed into a blazing white blade, slashing down with overwhelming force!

"Snap!"

The trident weapon in the Babar alien's hand snapped in two on the spot, shattering into several pieces scattered all over the ground!

The Babar aliens, now without their weapons, were terrified.

But Hikari gave him absolutely no chance to escape!

The giant stepped forward, and his heavy, powerful iron fist slammed into the face of the Babar alien, slamming his massive body onto the scorched ground, where it slid dozens of meters away!

Immediately afterwards, Hikari crossed his arms slightly in front of his chest, and the Knight's Bracer on his right wrist burst forth with dazzling, colorful light!

The violent and pure photon energy compressed and gathered rapidly in front of his chest, and then his right arm suddenly pushed forward!

Knight Ray!!

A dazzling stream of light, a mixture of pure white light and seven-colored radiance, roared out and, with an overwhelming force, swallowed the Babar aliens who were struggling to get up on the ground!

"Aaaaaahh ...

The agonizing, desperate screams lasted only half a second before being completely drowned out by the earth-shattering roar!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Amidst the blazing flames rising into the sky, the schemers of the Dark Nebula were instantly blasted into ashes and vanished completely into the world!

[Instant kill! Utterly and decisively crushed!]

[The strength of the scientists from the Land of Light!]

[That was so satisfying! All the frustration of being framed from beginning to end was wiped out by that one Knight Ray!]

This is a true hero's return; the battle to vindicate them was incredibly hardcore!

As the smoke of battle gradually dissipated, sunlight pierced through the thin mist and once again bathed the earth in its glow.

The citizens standing around the ruins looked up at the majestic blue giant, their eyes no longer filled with fear or wariness.

Someone clapped their hands first, and then thunderous applause and cheers resounded throughout the city:

"Thank you! Ultraman Hikari!!"

"Thank you for protecting us!!"

Hearing the heartfelt shouts coming from below, Hikari looked down at the humans waving their hands and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Its enormous body transformed into countless soft blue light spots, which gently dissipated in the breeze.

As dusk fell, the setting sun bathed the hangar runway of the Asia headquarters in a warm, golden hue.

A gentle breeze swept across the tarmac as Kazuya Serizawa, having changed back into his dark gray turtleneck coat, stood calmly beside the fighter jet.

Aihara Ryu, Mirai, Captain Sakamizu, Ikaruga George, Tang Zheping, Kinoko, and others quietly gathered around.

Seeing Serizawa carrying his luggage, everyone's tone was full of reluctance:

"We finally cleared our names and became partners again... and now we're leaving?"

Serizawa raised his head, his gaze fixed on the gradually brightening twilight starry sky deep within the heavens:

"A crisis is creeping closer and closer to this planet. The Babar aliens are nothing more than a spy sent by the mastermind behind the scenes to test the waters."

Serizawa turned around and looked at everyone with a solemn expression:

"I've decided to investigate this matter in the depths of space."

Captain Sakami stepped forward and solemnly extended his right hand to Serizawa:

"Then, I'll leave everything to you, Ultraman Hikari."

Serizawa reached out and grasped Sakomizu's hand tightly:

"I sincerely thank you all."

Aihara Ryu could no longer contain his emotions and stepped forward:

"They'll come back again, won't they?!"

Serizawa stopped and turned to look at Aihara Ryu.

That face, weathered by countless hardships and trials, usually stern and serious, now revealed a smile of utter relief and warmth:

"Yes...because this Earth is an irreplaceable planet for me."

"It's my hometown too!"

Serizawa raised his hand and patted Aihara Ryu's shoulder heavily, his tone sincere and affectionate:

"Thank you, Dragon."

"Thanks to you... I have truly become an Ultra Warrior."

Aihara Ryu finally couldn't hold back his tears and burst into tears. He stood up abruptly, crossed his right hand across his chest, and shouted at the top of his lungs towards his senior:

"You must...you must come back!!"

Future, George, Tang Zheping, and Mu Zhimei stood at attention, offering the highest salute to the weathered Blue Clan warrior.

Goodbye, my friend!

Take care! You must come back!

Serizawa smiled and nodded gently to everyone.

He slowly raised his right hand, and the knight's wristband on his wrist emitted a dazzling azure light. His whole body transformed into a straight rainbow that rose from the ground and soared into the sky!

That deep and resolute ultramarine light pierced through the evening glow, speeding towards the vast, star-studded sky, and finally disappeared at the edge of the Milky Way.

The screen gradually dimmed, and the end credits quietly rose to the accompaniment of a tranquil and melodious tune, marking the complete end of episode thirty-five.
