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

A few days later at night

Aihara Ryu sat alone on the park bench.

"You were here after all!"

Aihara Ryu, sitting on a park bench, looked up.

That was Hibino Mirai, wearing a brand new GUYS uniform.

"Holy crap, he's joining the team at lightning speed! That's incredibly fast!"

"To be honest, I'll look really good in this outfit in the future."

"I really don't know how A-Guang found these actors, who have such a clean and pure college student vibe in the future."

"Ah-Kuang's ability to select actors has never disappointed me; every single one of them is a man who fits my aesthetic preferences."

Aihara Ryu stared at the future in disbelief.

"You...did you join GUYS?"

The unfamiliar young man who had recited the Five Oaths of Ultra with him in the park a few days ago is now standing in front of him wearing the same uniform as his deceased comrades.

He didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Hibino Mirai stood with her feet together, looking very straight.

"Please let me fight alongside you! I want to fight alongside you!"

The park was quiet for a second.

Aihara Ryu didn't agree; he abruptly turned his head away.

"Don't put on that high-spirited act, we don't need any GUYS anymore!!"

As he finished speaking, Aihara Ryu grabbed the GUYS communicator from his waist, pulled it off, and raised his arm.

Just as he was about to throw the GUYS communicator in his hand.

"Dragon, GUYS, please."

The words of Captain Serizawa, who had already died in battle, echoed in his ears.

"team leader......"

The figure that crashed into Dinozol still hasn't left his dreams.

The future has taken a step forward.

He wasn't intimidated by that angry roar.

"Let's go to the GUYS base together, someone's waiting for you there."

In the command center of GUYS base, Aihara Ryu stared blankly at the newly equipped fighter jets.

He had never seen this fighter jet before!

"This was decided upon by GUYS headquarters."

A man's voice came from behind.

"Phoenix, a comprehensive attack fighter!"

"Who are you?"

Aihara Ryu looked at the man who was also wearing a GUYS uniform.

The man stepped forward, smiled slightly, and introduced himself.

"From this day forward, I am Shingo Sakomizu, the new captain of GUYS."

Hibino Mirai stands at attention with her feet together.

"I'm Hibino Mirai, the first member of the new GUYS! Nice to meet you!"

"The first member of the new GUYS..."

Aihara Ryu slowly repeated these words.

The first episode of "Mebius" has ended.

When the end credits rolled, a flood of comments appeared on the screen.

"Holy crap!!! Ah Guang is so daring this time! He wiped out an entire defense team right at the start of the show!"

"They've been sending venomous messages since the very first minute! Land of Light, you've changed!"

"I was getting a bit tired of Ultraman; it's always the same thing: the defense force goes into battle and gets thrashed, then Ultraman comes out to clean up the mess. But this season's first episode is about rebuilding the Earth Defense Force from scratch? What is this? A team-building Ultraman series?!"

"All my teammates are dead? I'll rebuild the strongest Earth Defense Force! This start is awesome!!"

"Upstairs, your first task is to uninstall Yangshizi Novels from your phone."

"The team-building mechanic is so appealing! The new GUYS assembled all its members from scratch—isn't this the start of an RPG game?!"

"Doesn't anyone think Captain Sakakizumi is so refined? That scholarly air about him... every previous captain was a tough guy, this one's taken the scholar route, the contrast is amazing!"

"Captain, I prefer Megumi Kijima. Who can understand the charm of an older sister like her?!"

"Got it, got it, got it all! Tiga, Megumi; Dyna, Hibi; Gaia, Ishimura... the captains of the Land of Light are all unique!"

"Then I'll talk about a captain from the Cane Alien world (doge emoji)."

"Building the Earth Defense Force from scratch—this is a plot point never seen before in the Ultraman series that have aired in the Land of Light! The Land of Light has once again defied its ancestral laws! But I must say, good riddance! I really want to see it!"

An hour later, the ratings for the first episode of "Ultraman Mebius" were released.

The number started fluctuating from 9.5, then gradually returned to its previous level, eventually settling at a certain position.

9.2 points.

For any animation, a score of 9.2 is a perfectly respectable one.

However, for the Ultraman series from the Land of Light, a score of 9.2 is indeed not high.

Some viewers frankly stated the reasons for deducting points in their short reviews.

"Aesthetic fatigue"

"It doesn't feel much different from the previous Ultraman."

"The opening tributes are too many, making it difficult for newcomers to understand."

......

While these evaluations objectively exist, their number is not large.

However, Da Mi from Starlight Video doesn't think so.

His phone screen displayed a real-time rating panel.

9.2?

The Ultraman series from the Land of Light, rated 9.2?

While it wasn't a complete disaster, it certainly wasn't a pleasant surprise.

He has a responsibility to let Everbright know this data, and he also has an obligation to prepare contingency plans in advance, just in case.

Da Mi switched to Yang Qian's WeChat chat as quickly as possible.

"Is 9.2 a bit low for Everbright Securities?"

Three minutes later, his phone vibrated. He put down his water glass, picked up his phone, took a deep breath, and then checked the message.

"9.2 is quite high."

Da Mi confirmed that he hadn't misread a single word.

9.2...that's pretty high?

In fact, Yang Qian was telling the truth.

Before the first episode's rating was released, he estimated his score to be 8.8.

the reason is simple.

The first episode of "Mebius" was packed with way too much stuff.

The silhouettes of the Ultra Brothers are for longtime fans; new viewers might not even be able to tell them apart.

The opening chapters span twenty-five years, which is quite a hurdle for those who haven't read the previous installments.

The scene where Aihara Ryu questions Mebius is completely different from the bright tone of the first episodes of the previous series.

He's already quite satisfied with the 9.2 rating he got.

Meanwhile, Da Mi repeatedly savored Yang Qian's reply.

Since Everbright says there's no problem, then there really isn't a problem.

If Everbright says it's enough, then it really is enough.

At the same time, the first episode of "Ultraman Mebius" was broadcast simultaneously on overseas platforms.

Data from the backend of the Kingdom of Light's overseas platform shows...

Fifteen minutes before the broadcast began, the number of concurrent online users had already broken the record set by the finale of "Gaia".

The operations and maintenance team urgently added two more servers three minutes before the broadcast started, which barely managed to withstand the first wave of traffic surge.

The Ultraman special subreddit on Reddit had a dedicated discussion thread before the show even started airing.

The title of the pinned post is concise and to the point.

"Mebius Episode 1 Live Discussion Thread"

The moderator who posted the thread wrote in bold in the main text.

"Please maintain basic politeness. Don't spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet."

Users from all over the world check in on the post.

British users complained about the time difference being too awful, while Australian users said they could finally stop staying up all night to watch their favorite shows.

A Brazilian user posted a photo of the snacks and drinks he had stocked up on, with the caption:

"9 PM local time, everything is ready! Land of Light, come on!"

The main feature begins.

The voice of Father of Ultra echoed in the background of Nebula M78, and the silhouettes of the Ultra Brothers began to appear one by one.

"Wait, wait, wait, is that Ultraman?! They really put that silhouette in?!"

"The second one is Seven! Seven!"

"Taro... Leo's flying kick... They put all their predecessors in this episode!!"
