Ultraman: Matching you with an equally matched daddy

"Tokyo... Edogawa Ward... Is this the place? It's such a remote location."

After receiving the techniques taught by Yuzare, Daigo took a day off and explored them on his own.

But when he actually arrived in this area, he began to doubt whether Yu Lian was deceiving him.

Because this is Edogawa Ward in Tokyo.

Edogawa Ward, along with Adachi Ward and Katsushika Ward, are known as the three downtown wards of Tokyo.

Prices are low here, rent is cheap, crime rate is high, and transportation is not very convenient.

The only advantage might be the weak surveillance coverage, making it suitable for people without a place to stay. In fact, there are indeed many people without a place to stay here.

Does the human form of the original Ultraman live in a place like this?

Despite some doubts, Daigo followed his intuition and continued on.

Since we're already here, if the human form of the original Ultraman is indeed here, that would be the best outcome. If not, then it would be solid proof that Yuzare has a problem.

He went back and supported Horii in dismantling that broken time machine.

Soon, Daigo stopped in front of an apartment building. This was it.

He took a deep breath.

"Knock knock knock~"

"Who is it? Didn't we just pay the rent?"

Inside the gate, Takahashi was carrying out his daily training.

Better physical fitness is needed to support him in transforming into Ultraman for longer periods and to fully unleash the power of Ultraman.

Therefore, Takahashi had no free time. Every day he was either working to earn money or training and studying, and he never slacked off for a single day.

Hearing a knock on the door, he didn't rush to open it, but instead looked out through the peephole first.

"... Dagu?"

At first glance, Takahashi thought he had overdone it and his eyes were playing tricks on him. Only after a second glance did he dare to confirm that the person in front of his door was indeed Daigo.

This Victory Team member's skills are quite extraordinary.

I sighed inwardly.

Takahashi decisively raised his bracelet for authentication, saying, "Don't think I'll believe you just because you have Daigo's face."

In the Ultraman world, there are too many aliens who can mimic human forms.

Once I find out who you are, I'm going to rip your hood off.

[Ultraman Tiga's human form - Daigo]

Current combat strength: B

"Huh? You really are?"

This time, it was Takahashi's turn to be dumbfounded.

I need help online. I'm in the Ultraman Tiga world, and I've only transformed twice, but I've already been targeted by the GUTS team. What should I do?

"Squeak."

After hesitating for a moment, Takahashi opened the door and let Daigo in.

The two walked into the living room one after the other, and strangely, neither of them made a sound throughout the entire process.

Although Takahashi was the host, he had never faced this situation before and was a little at a loss for what to do.

This was the first time Daigo had ever met his childhood idol, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

Therefore, the two remained silent after sitting down.

And so we just looked at each other.

It was as if they were playing a game where whoever spoke first lost.

Just as the awkward atmosphere continued to spread.

The news coming from the television broke the terrible silence.

"Director Sawai personally visited the scene to oversee the situation regarding the miners' deaths on Kurashima Island. Current reports indicate that all three miners and three investigators have perished. Stay tuned for further updates..."

"Daigo, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you. Would you be willing to answer them? They might just clear up your doubts."

After listening to the news, Takahashi suddenly asked Daigo a question.

After sitting quietly for a while and carefully observing Daigo, Takahashi began to understand.

Daigo came in casual clothes this time, without any other team members present, clearly indicating that he came alone in private.

Judging from his expression when he came in, it was a complex state of mind mixed with a mix of confusion, trust, doubt, and hesitation.

Although it's unclear how he learned about my identity, it seems he wants to get some answers from me.

It just so happens that I was originally planning to talk to Daigo, and now that he's come to me of his own accord, why wouldn't I seize the opportunity?

Starting with the topic of Gakuma is a good approach.

It also concerns the safety of Director Sawai and can greatly bring him closer to Daigo.

"Please tell me."

When Daigo heard Takahashi speak up and say something that cleared up his doubts, he was instantly convinced that Yuzare hadn't lied to him and that the person in front of him really was the human form of the original Ultraman.

He immediately made a very sincere request.

"My first question is, if one day, native monsters living on Earth and the areas inhabited by humans came into competition, as Ultraman Tiga, how would you handle this situation, and which side would you choose to stand on?"

"Of course, we should eliminate the monsters and stand on the side of humanity."

Daigo answered without hesitation.

"Even if the monster is innocent, even if humans actively invaded its territory, are you still going to use the power of the Titans to destroy them?"

Takahashi continued asking questions, while the television behind him continued to broadcast news from Kurashima.

"If monsters harm or intend to harm humans, then I will use the power of the giants to destroy them and protect humanity."

Daigo did not hesitate and gave what he believed to be the correct answer.

Even if his answer might not align with the sense of justice upheld by the original Ultraman, he would not betray his own conscience.

Even if the original Ultraman was not satisfied with his answer and was about to take back his power to transform into a giant, he would still choose to answer in the same way.

Just as Daigo was looking at Takahashi with unwavering eyes, awaiting his judgment, Takahashi suddenly laughed and clapped his hands as he laughed.

"Very good, Daigo, you're very good, your answer is excellent."

It was clear that Takahashi was very satisfied with Daigo's answer.

Daigo is actually the type who, despite being confused, never slows down his actions and goes all out against monsters until they are killed.

His confusion stemmed from his status as the first Ultraman to be transformed from a human, and his desire to explore what kind of spirit an Ultraman should embody if a human were to become one.

In fact, Daigo and Tiga answered this question perfectly.

From Dyna, Gaia, and Cosmos to the new generation, the Heisei Ultraman series regards Ultraman as a beacon of hope, promoting spiritual ideals and the bonds between comrades. All of this can be said to be a repetition of what happened in Tiga.

Those who looked up to Ultraman awakened the light within their hearts and ultimately transformed into Ultraman himself.

In a sense, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call the final episode of Ultraman Tiga the final episode of the entire Ultraman series.

After laughing heartily, Takahashi told Daigo, under Daigo's puzzled gaze, that there was an option.

"As Ultraman Tiga, you might also be able to use the Cell Conversion Beam to shrink monsters and make them harmless, allowing their abilities to be used more effectively. TPC could also conduct research on them and obtain many incredible results."

Gakuma's petrifying rays are quite effective at handling nuclear waste or other hazardous materials that are difficult to handle, such as Zelda gas.

If TPC can conduct in-depth research and study on it, applying petrification rays to weapons and even various other fields could generate tremendous benefits.

The knowledge gained in this process, including about monsters and other scientific fields, is invaluable.

"Boom—Awooo~"

As Takahashi finished speaking, Gakuma emerged from the ground onto the television screen next to him.

After being hit by a series of high-explosive bombs, it was unharmed and walked towards the crowd.

Director Sawai is right in the direction it is heading.

"There are two monsters this time, and they have the ability to petrify, so be careful. Also, don't forget that there are six petrified miners and investigators in the mine."

Takahashi pointed to Gakuma on the television screen.

"Go, Daigo, do what you believe is right."
