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

After all the calls came out.

Friday has finally arrived.

This week, the entire anime community has been flooded with the promotion of "Ultraman Mebius".

Starlight Video has really gone all out this time.

Homepage banner, splash screen, pinned column, push notifications—all available resources have been maximized.

DaMi said one sentence to the operations team in an internal email.

"There's no limit to Ultraman Mebius's marketing budget. If anyone dares to set a limit for me, I'll go ask the vice president for it."

This is not finished.

Some sharp-eyed netizens noticed that it wasn't just Starlight Video's own channels that were promoting it.

Even the homepage of Tencent Video featured a special promotional section for Ultraman Mebius.

Tanuki Entertainment's anime channel is even more outrageous.

They made a special episode summarizing the "Evolution of Ultraman".

The series revolves around Ultraman, from Tiga to Dyna and Gaia, before finally settling on a poster of Ultraman Mebius.

Two major platforms are simultaneously promoting a competitor's exclusive content.

This is unheard of in the era of fierce competition among video platforms.

"Wait, am I seeing things? Is Tencent Video canceling its exclusive drama broadcast on Starlight Video?"

"Is it possible that it's not that they want to promote it, but that the Land of Light's IP is so big that they have no choice but to promote it?"

"This is outrageous! Has the Kingdom of Light started bullying Tencent Video and Tanuki Entertainment now?"

"Tencent Video: I once rebelled. A-Guang: And then? Tencent Video: And now my homepage banner is Ultraman Mebius."

"Good! Good for bullying!!"

"I acknowledge this will to dominate!"

"Let's fight! When capital clashes, fans benefit!"

The style of Tanuki Entertainment is even more outrageous.

At 11:50 a.m., the "Ultraman Mebius" playback page on the Starlight Video homepage started its waiting mode ahead of schedule.

The page features a giant countdown clock against a background of dynamic images of the Milky Way Nebula, with the faint glow of Ultraman Mebius visible deep within the nebula.

With ten seconds left on the countdown, the comments section suddenly unanimously switched to the same message.

They're here! They're here! They're here! They're here!

At exactly twelve o'clock, the screen lit up.

What comes into view is the Land of Light in the M78 Nebula.

The Plasma Spark Tower still shines brightly, and the Ultraman Space Garrison headquarters complex stands tall in the light.

"From this moment on, you are an Ultra Warrior."

As the scene progresses, the towering figure of Father of Ultra slowly emerges.

The cloak behind him fluttered slightly in the plasma light.

A young Ultra Warrior stood before him.

He was a size smaller than Father of Ultra, and the color timer on his chest emitted a pure blue halo.

"Ultraman?"

The young soldier looked up, a hint of confusion in his voice.

This title was still somewhat unfamiliar to him.

"Yes, that's what they call us on that planet."

Father of Ultra nodded slightly. "You must have heard about it from the other Ultra Warriors as well."

The scene then begins to switch.

One silhouette after another appeared.

A silver and red body, classic oval eyes, and the classic starting pose with hands crossed in front of the chest.

Ultraman!!!

The headdress gleamed coldly in the light—Seven!

A flash of light, and the monster's head fell to the ground—Jack!

Vertical Guillotine - Ace!

The invincible sixth Ultraman, Taro!

Leo, the Lone Lion!

Ultraman Ace, the eternal Ultra Master!

......

Each silhouette is accompanied by its own battle cry.

The battle cries were all different yet connected, and the barrage of comments completely went out of control at that moment.

"Holy crap, holy crap, the Ultra Brothers! The moment I saw them appear, I burst into tears..."

"Who understands? Their battle cries sent chills down my spine! From Ultraman to Ace, every voice is etched into our DNA!"

"Oh my god!! That battle cry, that silhouette! I'm going!!"

"The person upstairs appears to be a Baltan alien; I suggest dissecting them for research!!"

"Hikaru, you're not human!! You killed me with silhouettes of the Ultra Brothers!! Aren't my tears worth anything?!"

"New viewers might not know what happened—that's okay, even longtime fans didn't realize what was going on, we're already crying."

All silhouettes.

Each of the predecessors who shed their blood for the Earth appears one by one in the light of the M78 Nebula.

They had no lines, no appearances, only silhouettes and battle cries!

That's enough.

Before leaving, Father of Ultra raised the Ultra Dumbbell high.

Light poured out from the dumbbell, transforming into Mebius's aura, and settled into the young warrior's left wrist.

"I believe that you, like the other Ultra Warriors, can find what is most important to you."

The voice of Father of Ultra carried the expectation and kindness unique to an elder, like a father sending his child off on a long journey.

"Forward, young warriors!"

"Let's fly to that irreplaceable planet—Earth!"

Mebius raised his left hand high.

Mebius's aura burst forth in a dazzling ring—a Möbius strip.

Scene changes to Earth.

Yes, there is no OP.

The Land of Light abandoned its ancestral laws, and the first episode did not play the opening theme song, but went straight into the main content.

An ordinary city park.

A red balloon is slowly rising into the air.

"Ah, a balloon!"

The little girl's voice was thin and urgent.

The balloon kept rising, drifting further and further into the gray-blue sky.

As the red dot grew smaller and smaller, the little girl's shoulders slumped down.

She gave up.

Just as she turned around to leave, a gentle voice came from behind her.

"Give!"

It's a young face.

Hibino Mirai was bending down, handing her the string of the balloon.

"Thanks!"

The little girl took the balloon, and her face and lips instinctively curved into a smile.

"Thanks......"

Hibino Mirai, mimicking her tone, awkwardly repeated the word.

"No way, is this level of attractiveness even possible for a human?"

"Hibino Mirai! I hereby declare that from today onwards, you are my new husband."

"Aren't you a man upstairs?"

"What's wrong with men! Can't men have husbands?!"

Daigo: I am very pleased that there are successors.

"Asuka: But senpai, this kid is a double challenge to both Daigo's and my looks!"

"My dream: You guys chat, I'm in the lab, the signal is bad."
