"Huh? Three episodes of Ultraman Taro premiered today?"

"Has Guangda changed his ways? He knows we've been waiting anxiously, so he's adding extra chapters?"

"Who cares! Having something to watch is a bonus! Three episodes! Let's binge-watch!"

"However, given the Land of Light's past behavior, this sudden increase in chapters... could it be that they're planning something big? (Alert)"

"Don't jinx it! Let's see first!"

Many viewers are used to the daily two-episode release schedule of Land of Light.

Everyone was somewhat surprised when they discovered that three episodes of "Ultraman Taro" were being released at once.

"Hopefully, the ZAT team won't have the same incompetent teammates as the TAC team..."

Some people still recall with lingering fear certain blood pressure-raising scenes from "Ultraman Ace".

"Don't worry, I got an insider's message from the editors at Starlight Video, and they said this time it'll be amazing, with a different style!"

"Really? I don't believe it! Before 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' aired last time, they also said it would be a healing anime, but what happened? It was depressing!"

"That's different. This time it's Ultraman! And Taro at that! The young master! How can they be the same?"

The first episode of "Ultraman Taro" features a completely different rhythm and style.

Kotaro Higashi, who had not yet become Taro's human form, made his debut with astonishing courage.

Yudolinka, the super-oil-eating beast, attacked the oil tanker.

Operate the crane to strangle the monster with chains, creating a fighter jet for ZAT.

"Holy crap! This human host is pretty reckless! I love it!"

"So powerful even before transforming? No wonder he's the Crown Prince's human form!"

"That's some skill!"

However, the crisis was not over.

The magical plant "Jogurius Flower" that Kotaro planted in the park unexpectedly mutated.

It transformed into the terrifying cosmic monster Astromus!

In an attempt to stop the monster, Kotaro climbed onto its massive leg with his bare hands to try and attack it, but was violently thrown away and seriously injured, falling into a coma.

"That's way too reckless!"

"But it is precisely this fearless courage that makes him worthy of Ultraman's power!"

The next day, Kotaro was discovered by his students.

Mother of Ultra transformed into "Grandma Green" to heal his wounds and gave him the Ultra Badge.

After recovering from his injury, Kotaro was exceptionally recruited by the ZAT team due to his outstanding courage and physical abilities.

However, when he first piloted a fighter jet to confront the reappearance of Astromuses.

He was unfortunately hit, his fighter plane crashed, and Kotaro was killed.

At this critical moment, the energy of the five Ultra Brothers converged in the universe, along with the power of Mother of Ultra.

A new light has been born!

"Taro!!!"

It was accompanied by a shout that resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

A brand new Ultraman, with his red and silver attire and iconic double horns on his head, has descended upon Earth!

The peak was set right from the start!

Taro's first battle was nothing short of spectacular.

Swallow-style flying kick! An elegant and gorgeous aerial kicking technique.

Taro's Rumble! *A powerful combination of punches.

Finally, the arms form a T-shape, and dazzling seven-colored rays of light flow out.

"Behold my secret weapon!"

Strium Ray!

Astromuses was utterly annihilated in the Crown Prince's glorious first battle.

The barrage of comments exploded instantly.

"Holy crap! Is Taro that strong?!"

"That swallow-style flying kick is so cool! I want to learn it! Where can I sign up for the Ultra Dojo?"

"Wait a minute, this Kotaro looks familiar! Didn't he make a cameo appearance as that young crew member in 'Ultraman Ace'?"

"Waaaaah, why does calling out 'Mom' give me an Ultra Badge? I call it that all the time! (So jealous I could be twisted)"

"Waaaah, why does calling out 'Mom' give me an Ultra Badge? I call it that a lot of times..."

"Kotaro is handsome, has a great physique, a sunny and brave personality, and speaks very nicely. Why wouldn't we give him the Ultra Badge? Are we going to give it to this guy who can only 'bake'?"

"Speaking of which, since Kotaro is already Ultraman Taro's human form, wouldn't he be invincible blocking the bridge? Who would dare offend Mother of Ultra? (doge)"

"Taro: Goodbye to my meatpacking plant brother~"

Episodes 2 and 3 focus on the humorous atmosphere of Team ZAT and the loving kindness of Mother of Ultra.

Kotaro was accidentally swallowed by the monster King Leib.

Unlike some teams that panicked or argued, ZAT immediately brainstormed and tried every possible way to rescue their teammates.

Captain Asahi had a sudden inspiration:

"Get me a ton of pepper powder! Put it on ZAT's tab!"

Thanks to this physics, King Leib was hit with a thunderous sneeze, which successfully spurted Kotaro out!

"Hahaha! A ton of pepper! ZAT team, you know first aid!"

"Captain: How do I fill out the expense report? 'Rescue team member special seasoning'?"

"This kind of teammate love! I can feel it! It's completely different from some other teams!"

After escaping danger, Kotaro immediately transforms into Taro to fight King Leib and another monster, Cosmogid.

The inexperienced Taro clearly underestimated the difficulty of fighting two opponents at once and found himself in a tough battle.

"Hey Jack, you've never lost a 1v2!"

"Taro is still too young. He should have called for reinforcements and given out Ultra Signatures right now!"

"Who are you shaking? Your brothers? Shaking people for just two monsters? Isn't that making a mountain out of a molehill?"

"It's better than Chief Ace constantly posting signatures about wiping out the entire team, right? (doge)"

"Now that you mention it...it seems to make a lot of sense."

In the end, Taro used Ultra Freeze to temporarily freeze the two beasts, and then used the Strium Ray to destroy King Leib.

However, a fragment of King Leib flew into a house and revived at night, beginning to devour poultry.

Team ZAT set a bait trap, luring out the resurrected King Leib.

During the battle, Kotaro was accidentally pinned down by the monster, and his situation became critical.

At the critical moment, Mother of Ultra appeared on Earth!

She helped Kotaro escape and repaired his injuries with a healing ray.

After learning that the fragments of King Leib could be resurrected infinitely if they were not destroyed.

Taro and Mother of Ultra joined forces to take King Leib into the depths of space.

Only after ensuring that its fragments would not harm the Earth were they completely destroyed using the Strium Ray.

The three-episode run has ended, and viewers are thoroughly enjoying it.

"I have to say, Taro is getting the treatment he deserves—it's like he's a favorite son! Team ZAT is so humane! They'll try to save their teammates and even apologize!"

"Beidou: ZAT team actually apologized? And went all out to save their teammates? This must be an illusion created by the Yapool!"

"As expected of the Crown Prince of the Land of Light, this newbie protection period is like having a mother protecting you the whole time!"

"Am I the only one who thinks Taro's storyline is incredibly funny? Ultraman's command, Ultraman's little steps, and the perfectly timed background music every time he appears... It's so satisfying!"

"Kotaro's personality is so sunny now! Just looking at his human form makes me happy!"

"I apologize to Hikaru! This is truly a lighthearted and enjoyable Ultraman series! I can't wait to see tomorrow's episode!"

"+1"

"Me too!"

At this moment, Yang Qian was in the office of Li Lin, the park manager.

"Manager Li, Happy New Year! What can I do for you?"

Yang Qian sat down on the sofa as if she knew the place well, and picked up a tangerine from the fruit plate and started peeling it.

Li Lin wasn't surprised by his casual demeanor.

He took out a copper plaque covered with red silk from the drawer and pushed it in front of Yang Qian.

"Here, this was just approved by the city, it's for you."

The inscription reads "[Caring Enterprise of City A]", and is signed by the official government of City A.

"I've put it away."

Li Lin said, "This can be considered a formal recognition of your company's 'Sending Warmth' campaign at the end of last year."

"The city highly recognizes your sense of social responsibility."

Yang Qian's eyes lit up, and she happily accepted the sign with both hands.

"Thank you for your recognition, leaders! Thank you for the support from City A!"

No wonder my left eyelid kept twitching today; it turns out something good really is going to happen.

"This is what you deserve."

Seeing his happy expression, Li Lin smiled, then his expression became slightly serious.

"Also, there's something else, which is both a notification and a request for your opinion."

"Please speak."

Yang Qian sat up a little straighter.

"Starting this year, the higher authorities have decided to hold a national-level 'Great Xia Animation New Star Competition' every two months."

"So sudden?"

"It wasn't entirely sudden; we've been preparing for it for a while now."

"The main purpose is to encourage domestic animation creation, discover outstanding talents and works, and promote healthy competition and high-quality development in the cultural and entertainment industry."

Li Lin explained, "City A hopes that your Kingdom of Light can take the lead in participating, produce excellent works, and set an example."

Yang Qian remained silent for a few seconds, seemingly processing the news.

"May I ask what the first topic was?"

"Traditional Chinese Style"

Li Lin stated clearly.

"The requirement is that it be in 2D animation format, highlighting traditional Chinese cultural elements and spiritual core."

"There are no restrictions on length or subject matter, but the work must be original or an adaptation based on public domain copyright."

"Traditional Chinese style? 2D?"

Yang Qian seemed to be deep in thought.

"Isn't the 3D historical martial arts style of 'Qin's Moon' acceptable?"

Li Lin shook his head: "The specific requirement is 2D."

"This competition seems to have the intention of supporting traditional hand-drawing and digital 2D technologies."

"Is that so..."

Yang Qian nodded, without showing any sign of difficulty on his face. Instead, he seemed to be thinking about something.

Li Lin thought he was hesitant, so he reassured him, "Of course, this is not a mandatory task."

Whether you participate or not is entirely up to your own wishes and schedule.

"Would a historical theme be acceptable?"

Yang Qian suddenly threw out another question.

"Historical themes are certainly possible, but you actually do this kind of thing?"

"Of course, I have stock right now."

Li Lin: "???"

At the same time, the same notice was also sent to Tencent Video, Lizi Entertainment, and other animation companies of all sizes.

National-level competition!

Official endorsement!

The winner will receive a wealth of high-quality resources, including preferential local policies, financial support, and media promotion!

More importantly, the theme of the first battle is "Chinese-style 2D animation".

Many of his peers saw this as a godsend!

The creative abilities of the Land of Light will be greatly restricted.

This battle is one we must win.
