Ultraman: Matching you with an equally matched daddy

"Ah—! So, the original Ultraman... he was also once human!"

Daigo was so shocked by Yuzare's words that his eyes widened and he could barely speak.

I guess so.

After saying those words, Yu Lian's projection disappeared.

She was, after all, merely a time machine that delivered information, warning future generations and passing on important messages to them.

Her mission is complete.

As for the rest, it depends on the choices made by these future generations of human civilization.

Feeling a mix of emotions, Daigo ignored Yu Lian's sudden disappearance and walked out of the room.

He walked back to his lounge at the base, lost in thought.

……

A few days later, Daigo came to Takahashi's house and talked to him about what had happened recently.

"Is V99 related to an ancient civilization? That's really something..."

Upon hearing this news, Takahashi knew that the V99 incident in this world was likely to become even more complicated.

In the Blazer universe, V99 took place in 1999, and this world also appears to be in 1999.

According to his recent reconfirmation, the Director of this world, Sawai, also took office as the Secretary-General of the United Nations in 1999.

He also lobbied countries to abandon the use of force to resolve disputes.

In 2000, the United Nations adopted a resolution requiring all countries to abolish and destroy nuclear weapons and to place the weapons of all countries' defense forces under the unified management of the United Nations.

The Earth Defense Force (UNDF) was established.

In just one year since taking office, such a significant event has been accomplished. The V99 incident, which enabled countries to work together, must have been incredibly complex and convoluted.

If they could know the truth, many of his and Daigo's doubts would probably be resolved.

But before he could think about it deeply, Daigo's next topic almost caught him off guard.

"Senior, you know the regulations established by the Land of Light that V99 mentioned, right?"

The reason you came back to Earth is because Earth was your former home. Modern humans and you before your super-evolution were born from the same mother, so you want to protect this place.

But that's against the rules, so you don't want me to know and worry about you.

"what……"

Takahashi thought for a few seconds before he understood what Daigo was trying to say.

After figuring it out, his first thought was, "Am I now Seven's stand-in?"

Who is the one I love most? It's...that's right, it's me, the original Ultraman!

My second thought was, "Oh no, does the Land of Light in this world really have regulations? Will V99 and the others report me?"

Oh, when I saw them, I was using Ultraman Blaze's account, so it's fine.

Wait, no, there's also the original Ultraman! Not only have I met them, but I've even chatted with them!

"Senior, don't worry. No matter what happens, I will always stand by your side. I will tell your people that I was impersonating Tiga, deceiving you with Tiga's identity, and forcing you to do these things. If they want to punish someone, they should punish me!"

Seeing that Takahashi looked troubled and did not answer for a long time.

Daigo thought he had guessed the truth, so he stood up abruptly and patted his chest to assure Takahashi.

The original Ultraman fought for Earth and for humanity.

He witnessed firsthand how he had been exhausted to the point of collapse twice, and how great the sacrifices he had made.

Whatever punishments the Land of Light may impose, let them come at him, Daiko.

He would never allow a hero like the original Ultraman to bleed and weep.

"No need, no need to worry about violating the rules. I have my own way of handling it. But you, have you been thinking about this all this time? Has it interfered with your training? Come on, let's practice our skills."

Takahashi realized what was happening and waved his hands repeatedly.

To be honest, he really didn't know what the laws of the Land of Light in this world were, nor did he know whether his bracelet could transform when facing them.

But that's no longer something Daigo can get involved in at this point.

Since gaining Tiga's power, Daigo has only transformed three times. Twice he disintegrated due to exhaustion, and once he was beaten to the point of disintegration.

Looking ahead, there are a host of formidable enemies waiting, including Spectrum Dyna, the original, V99, Spectrum Black Hole, and Gatanothor.

Already under immense pressure, they now bear the heavy responsibility of the Land of Light.

Takahashi was really afraid of breaking Daigo's back.

He should face this alone.

Takahashi was the first to stand up and walk to his usual training spot, where he gestured to Daigo in invitation.

"I'll go all out, be careful, senior."

Daigo knew perfectly well that this was Takahashi's excuse to keep him from getting into trouble, but he couldn't bring himself to expose it, so he got up and accepted the challenge.

The two sparred intensely for an entire afternoon, only stopping to rest when they were completely exhausted.

Before leaving, Daigo told Takahashi.

TPC has sensed an impending crisis from the recent series of unusual events.

Thus began the path of accelerated armament, and the previously disbanded defense forces were being reorganized, with the possibility of being re-established.

Faced with a crisis, humanity never sits idly by. Even if their wish is for world peace, it does not prevent them from wielding a sword that can protect themselves.

"call……"

After saying goodbye to Daigo, Takahashi lay on the sofa, listening to the news, and let out a long sigh.

If he were only facing a monster, no matter how strong it was, he was confident that he could defeat it with the bracelet.

But what if it were Ultraman from the Land of Light who came...?

Hopefully, the Ultraman who comes will bring a Hyper Zetton with him.

That way he can transform into Saga and reason with the other party.

Otherwise, they'll have no choice but to obediently accept the judgment.

I just don't know if there are any precedents in the laws of the Land of Light for his situation.

We can't just accuse him of interfering in the affairs of other civilizations and put him on trial simply because he's a perfectly normal human being who can transform into various Ultraman.

He transformed using his own abilities!

Just as Takahashi was rambling on and on.

The distant M421 nebula is located in a giant elliptical galaxy 441 million light-years from Earth.

The V99 civilization formally protested to its home planet M421, the same planet where Ultraman Blaze was born, demanding that it restrain Ultraman Blaze on Earth and stop interfering with V99's revenge.

They show images of Ultraman Blaze using a spiral spear that transforms into a net of light as evidence.

The M421 indigenous inhabitants experienced quantum-level mutations in their genetic material due to black hole energy radiation triggered by nebula discharges, ultimately evolving into silicon-based life forms capable of surviving in a vacuum.

This mutation makes Ultraman Blaze's fighting style focus more on physical strength rather than light skills, and his signature weapon, the Spiral Light Spear, is a manifestation of the planet's forging technology.

Unfortunately, it arrived a bit too early; Ultraman Blaze hadn't been born yet, and M421's technology wasn't advanced enough.

The protest was dismissed on the grounds that the technology involved was too advanced and not appropriate for them.

After the V99 civilization left, the Ultramen here gathered together and repeatedly watched the scene of Ultraman Blaze using the spiral spear.

They finally agreed that this was their dream gun, and from now on they would work hard in this direction to forge the same excellent weapon.

V99, rejected by M421, were not disappointed, because they also realized that Ultraman Blaze's spear technique was of a higher level and was just trying it out casually.

After being rejected, they turned to the Land of Light and submitted evidence of the conversation between the original Ultraman and his human host with V99.

And then there are scenes of the original Ultraman participating in battles on Earth, accusing the original Ultraman of violating the laws of the Land of Light!

They demanded that the Land of Light punish the original Ultraman and order him to leave so that he would no longer interfere with their revenge.
