Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

Land of Light, Overseas Business Division.

Inside the brand-new office area.

A dozen or so young employees sat in front of their computers.

"Director Yang, all preparations are complete."

Xu Liang, head of the overseas business department, walked up to Yang Qian.

"The official YouTube channel [Land of Light] has been verified, and the homepage design, channel description, and playlist structure are all complete."

"Ultraman Tiga has undergone three rounds of proofreading."

"The localization team has added annotations to some cultural terms; click to view them."

The first five episodes are free; starting with the sixth episode, a channel subscription is required, costing $0.99 per episode.

"At the same time, we have launched the Super Thanks and channel member exclusive dynamic features."

Yang Qian stood in front of the large screen in the center of the office area, where real-time data from various platforms were displayed in sections.

He nodded.

"Go online as scheduled."

No unnecessary words.

"yes!"

At 8 p.m., which is 9 a.m. Pacific Time.

A brand new channel has quietly appeared on YouTube.

The channel's profile picture is the iconic side profile of Ultraman Tiga Composite.

The background image is a classic shot of Ultraman Tiga flying into the distance under the setting sun.

The channel description consists of only a few simple sentences in English:

【Land of Light—Official Channel】

We believe that light exists in everyone's heart.

Heroic tales that transcend language and culture are presented here.

His debut work, "Ultraman Tiga," is now available online, with the first five episodes free.

At the same time the channel lights up.

Those who had gained tens of thousands of followers through "The Land of Light Tokusatsu All-Stars Beat Up Charlie" received push notifications.

Following that, the Land of Light used its previously established overseas social media accounts.

A carefully edited 30-second trailer was also released simultaneously.

Ultraman Tiga transforms in the city, engages in aerial combat with monsters, and witnesses the ultimate moment when the Zeperion Ray pierces through the evil god Gatanothor...

It is accompanied by the climax of the rousing Chinese theme song "Miracle Reappears".

The giant of light from the East has descended today.

……

University dormitory in California, USA.

Jack Wilson, a sophomore member of the comics club, had just returned to his dorm after finishing his morning classes.

He habitually refreshed his YouTube subscription list, and a notification popped up from an unfamiliar channel.

"Land of Light? New channel?"

He glanced at the cover.

"Ultraman...Tiga? Ultraman?"

Tokusatsu?

This was a form of animation he had never heard of before.

Out of curiosity as an anime enthusiast, he clicked on it.

Then he saw the channel description and the five neatly arranged video episodes.

"Five episodes for free... Okay, let's take a look."

He clicked on the first episode, "The Successors of Light".

When the Chinese version of the opening theme song "Miracle Again" started playing, Jack raised an eyebrow.

"This song...it's kind of catchy?"

When he saw Golza and Melba destroy the pyramids, three statues appeared.

After Golza destroyed two of them, leaving only one, Jack had already sat up straight without realizing it.

"This setting... is quite interesting."

Then, Daigo turned into light and entered the stone statue.

Ultraman Tiga, resurrected!

As Tiga engages in battle with the two monsters with fluid and powerful movements, Jack's eyes gradually widen.

"The fight scenes...the quality...the special effects...the camera work!"

"Completely different from any superhero I know!"

End of episode one.

When the end credits rolled, Jack clicked on the second episode almost without hesitation.

He was completely captivated by this presentation style, which combined solid combat, dazzling light skills, and the unique grandeur of battles against giant creatures.

"Cool! That move was sick!"

(That's so cool! That move was absolutely awesome!)

What touched him even more was the ending of episode 4, "Goodbye, Earth".

Jeep 3 astronauts did it for their families, for the dignity of humanity.

Once again, let us live as human beings!

They voluntarily left Ligadron's body.

"This is not just a simple story of a hero fighting monsters..."

Jack murmured.

He couldn't wait to open the comments section to see what other people thought.

Then, he was overwhelmed by a flood of English comments.

"Holy crap! That's amazing! The fight scenes are so well choreographed!"

"What have I been watching all my life? This is so much better than I imagined!"

"Actually, Munakata doesn't drink alcohol at all."

"Does anyone know the background music during Ultraman Tiga's transformation? It's so epic!"

"Subscribed! When will the next episode be released? Take my money!"

"This was made in China? Impossible! The production quality is Hollywood level!"

Jack scrolled down the page and found that the comments section was still refreshing at an astonishing rate.

From the United States, Canada, the gay community, Australia...

Even audiences in non-English speaking European countries expressed their shock and admiration in various languages.

He noticed that many professional analyses also appeared in the comments section.

"As a superhero fan, I must say that Tiga's fight choreography, which draws on martial arts and modern combat, is very innovative."

"I studied film production, and the cinematography and editing of this film are very mature, especially the combination of miniature models of urban destruction and CGI, which is almost flawless. The budget was really burning."

Jack became more and more excited as he watched.

He immediately shared the channel link to his anime club Discord group, as well as several Reddit anime subreddits he frequented.

"Guys, look at this! It's a tokusatsu (special effects) film from China, it's incredible!"

Soon, responses appeared in the group chat and under the post.

"From China? Aren't they only good at making trashy 3D animations?"

"I'll go check... wait, is this free?"

Half an hour later, the group chat exploded.

"Jack, you're right! That's fantastic!"

"This Mandarin theme song is on repeat in my head!"

"I want episode 6 now! How do I become a member?"

Does anyone know if this Land of Light channel has any other works?

Jack himself became curious.

He tried searching for "Land of Light" on YouTube.

However, the channel currently only features "Ultraman Tiga".

He also tried searching with keywords such as "Guang Zhi Guo" and "Light Country", but the results were limited.

However, he did discover another work.

"The Land of Light Tokusatsu All-Stars Beat Up Charlie".

this?

Isn't this the short video that suddenly went viral a while ago?

Reopen the production company.

The Land of Light.

It was actually made by the Land of Light.

And Ultraman Tiga is among them.

There were even many superheroes he had never seen before.

Could it be that these are all tokusatsu anime from the Land of Light?

Through the comments section of "The Land of Light Tokusatsu All-Stars Beat Up Charlie".

And a link to a Wiki page created spontaneously by overseas fans.

Jack vaguely understood.

This Kingdom of Light appears to be a massive content production company in China.

It has a large number of animation, tokusatsu, and game works.

Ultraman Tiga is just the tip of the iceberg.

"They have an entire universe..."

Jack stared at the Chinese titles and descriptions on the Wiki page that he couldn't understand, along with some blurry screenshots.

My heart feels itchy, like it's being scratched by a cat.

Want to see more...

But how can I see it?

Countless overseas viewers drawn to Ultraman Tiga are captivated by the mysterious name of the "Land of Light".

It aroused unprecedented curiosity and desire.
