Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Shen Yun's consciousness was plunged into darkness, and everything around him was gradually fading away.

He was like a drowning person, half-asleep, watching himself sink deeper and deeper into the darkness.

"What am I doing...?"

"Oh, I remember now, I think I lost to Gatanothor."

Shen Yun recalled some scenes; facing the powerful ruler of darkness, he had no room for resistance whatsoever.

"They were planning to hold out until Daigo's resurgence, but they were defeated very quickly..."

"That's really lame."

Shen Yun plummeted into the depths of darkness, growing ever more distant from the light ahead.

"I was really impulsive..." Shen Yun murmured softly, as if in a dream.

But if he had to choose again, he would probably still reach out and grab that light without hesitation.

Shen Yun's consciousness became increasingly blurred.

"Is my journey... coming to an end? I'm truly somewhat unwilling to accept it."

"Are you going to give up already?" A slightly weary voice suddenly rang in Shen Yun's ears.

who is it?

Shen Yun, struggling to maintain his somewhat hazy consciousness, looked in the direction of the sound.

A figure radiating a halo came into Shen Yun's view.

The visitor was a kind-looking old man, dressed in a sharp white suit, with his silver hair meticulously styled.

Beside him stood a figure dressed as a cowboy, radiating a faint glow.

He reached up and pressed down the brim of his hat, then smiled and said in a strong, resonant voice, "Kid, we told you before, didn't we? The most important thing is to never give up and to face challenges bravely."

"Even if the hope is slim, believe in victory and fight for it," said an elderly man dressed as a racing instructor, his body radiating a faint light.

"As long as you have a strong heart that firmly believes in victory, anything is possible." An elderly man dressed in a black suit with a white scarf around his neck, and whose body also radiated a faint light, walked over.

"This is Ultraman," the old man who started it said with a smile.

"Vice Captain!" A young man, radiating golden light and grinning foolishly, ran up to Shen Yun and extended his hand.

"Never give up, stand up!"

"The future..." A surge of warmth welled up in Shen Yun's heart, and he grabbed the hand that the future was reaching out to him.

The surrounding darkness receded like a tide, and Shen Yun's consciousness stopped sinking and instead rapidly rose, moving closer to the light at the top.

"Radiance!!!"

Shen Yun reached out again and caught the light.

……

"Humanity... is it really impossible to escape the fate of extinction?" Megumi looked down at the sea, her expression filled with immense sorrow.

The newly emerged giants were killed in battle, and their plan to save Ultraman Tiga also failed due to interference from the evil god.

Humanity has lost even its last hope.

Even Megumi Kijima couldn't help but feel a little despair.

The people in the underground shelter all lowered their heads, seemingly ready to give up completely.

"Ultraman isn't dead yet!" A child's voice rang out in the deathly silent shelter.

People looked up at the display screen in the shelter.

The red giant, who had fallen, was now struggling to his feet and shakily stood up again.

"Chaa!" The red giant's chest heaved, yet he once again assumed a fighting stance.

Looking at the red giant who had stood up again, Megumi Kijima felt no joy at all; instead, her nose stung with tears.

"My God, Ultraman is standing up again." Nori's face was full of shock.

This red giant, whose entire body was devoid of light, stood up resolutely.

"Support Ultraman, this time it's our turn to protect Ultraman," Munakata said.

"Understood!" Lina nodded and piloted the Alpha mothership toward the red giant.

"Roar—" Gatanothor let out an angry roar.

You hateful forbidden lights, why won't you fall!

The giant whose light had been stolen by it refused to fall until it turned into a stone statue.

Even though the giant before me has lost its light, it still stands up and refuses to fall.

The sea surface churned continuously, and a tentacle tore through the surface and coiled around the red giant's wrist.

Seeing that Gatanothor was about to try the same trick again, Megumi immediately contacted Hayate Shin and Munakata, saying:

"Swift Wind, command!"

"Understood." Hayate and Munakata responded simultaneously, launching an attack on Gatanothor's other tentacles.

"Cha!" The red giant let out a deep battle roar. After knocking away an attacking tentacle, he grabbed the tentacle with both hands and then exerted force to tear it off.

"Bang!"

The severed tentacle exploded into a dazzling burst of sparks.

"Roar—" Gatanothor let out an angry roar, and the surrounding seawater surged.

Its enormous pincers slammed into the red giant at incredible speed.

The lasers from the three fighter jets struck the enormous pincers, but aside from causing a few sparks to shatter the outer shell, they did absolutely nothing to stop the pincers from moving an inch.

The red giant raised his hand and grabbed the two pincers of the chelicerae. The force from the pincers put him at a disadvantage from the start.

At that moment, Gatanothor's other pincer suddenly broke through the sea surface and rammed into the red giant's chest.

"Watch out!" Lina exclaimed.

The Red Giant also noticed the incoming pincers, but he was completely held back by Gatanothor's pincers and could only watch helplessly as Gatanothor's pincers slammed into his chest.

"Bang!"

The pincers struck the red giant's breastplate, and intense sparks flew out.

"Ouch!" the red giant cried out in pain as his massive body was sent flying backward by the pincers.

"Thump!"

The red giant flew hundreds of meters before crashing into the sea, creating a huge splash.

The red giant clutched his chest, struggling to stand up from the seawater.

Each time, he would just get up, only to fall down again.

Underground shelter.

Everyone stared silently at the screen, the atmosphere heavy.

"Go Ultraman!" The children's innocent voices broke the silence and heaviness.

This sparked a huge wave of support, with more and more children joining in the cheering.

The adults were also stunned; some of them even looked at the children with suspicion.

"Even at this point, you still haven't given up?"

"Tiga!" Tomoki stood up.

Zhi Shu felt that he had to do it.

When people are oppressed by overwhelming power and on the verge of collapse, Ultraman Tiga will appear along with light.

Ultraman Tiga will absolutely not be turned into a stone statue like this!

Give Tiga power, give Tiga light!

"Tiga!!!"

All the children in the shelter stood up and shouted in unison.

Then, all the children clenched their fists and raised them above their heads.

The adults were taken aback; they knew this posture all too well.

That was the pose Tiga struck when he appeared.

The children, with one hand raised upwards, shone with a golden light.

"Wait, what happened!?"

The beams of light emitted by the children converged and surged upwards.

Light pierced through the roof of the shelter, shooting straight into the sky above the metropolis.

Not just in major metropolitan areas of Japan.

China, Moscow, Greenland, and my brother in New York.

All the children around the world who cheered for Ultraman Tiga through television became light, and those countless beams of light converged to one point.

It goes without saying that the location where these lights are concentrated is the Ultraman Tiga statue lying on the seabed of R'lyeh.

The red giant, struggling to support its body, watched with its dim eyes the golden light flying from the sky as it surged towards the seabed of R'lyeh.

The light was so dazzling.

Although most of the light flowed into the seabed of R'lyeh, some dazzling golden light still flowed into the crystal on his forehead and the colored timer on his chest.

The red giant's dim eyes regained their light, and even the color timer on his chest regained its azure light. A continuous stream of power began to surge from his body.

"Light, so much light..." Lina looked at the ever-flowing light and her heart was filled with joy.

These dazzling rays of light, gathered from all over the world, passed over the evil god Gatanothor and poured into the statue of Ultraman Tiga.

Within the polyhedral crystal, Daigo, illuminated by dazzling brilliance, gradually awakens.

"What is that light?!" Daigo looked in the direction from which the light was coming from.

"Tiga—!"

"Tiga—!"

"Tiga—!"

Inside the tunnel of light, countless children from all over the world ran towards it, their faces beaming with smiles.

"This is it, this is the true light..."

Daigo finally had an epiphany.

It's not just that the genetic factors in my body and Masaki Keigo's body are special.

Humans can become light through their own will.

Having gained confidence and strength, Daigo raised his arm and touched the light of the children.

"Roar—" Gatanothor roared.

It simply could not bear it; as the ruler of darkness, all these lights had to be extinguished!

However, an even stronger light rose from the sea, forming a huge pillar of light.

A gigantic humanoid figure appeared amidst the dazzling golden light that illuminated the entire area around the R'lyeh Temple.

Shining, colossal warrior—Shining Tiga.

"Tiga! Daigo has been resurrected!" Nori shouted, unable to contain her joy.

"Daigo!" Rena shouted excitedly.

Everyone who saw the colossal warrior gleaming with golden light could not hide their joy.

The red giant rose from the ruins, looking at Ultraman Tiga shining with golden light in front of him.

It's really dazzling.

However, he's not bad either.

At that moment, he was filled with power.

The red giant, merely gilded with gold, strode forward, intending to capitalize on the trend.

Tiga took a step back, raised his arms upwards, and then clenched his fists in front of his chest.

Endless golden light converged, transforming into Ultraman Tiga's power.

Tiga unleashed a punch from afar, golden light energy transforming into a spiral beam that struck Gatanothor's porous shell.

"Ah!" Countless children who had turned into light simultaneously threw this punch.

"Roar—" Gatanothor was sent flying hundreds of meters away by a punch, crashing headfirst into the sea.

Then, Tiga gathered energy again and kicked out from a distance. The golden spiral beam of light struck Gatanothor's shell once more.

"Ah!" Countless children who turned into light also kicked out at the same time.

Then, Tiga turned around and delivered a back kick, and the golden spiral beam of light struck Gatanothor's shell once again.

Gatanothor's once indestructible shell now shows numerous visible cracks, and in some places it has even shattered completely.

"I am Ultraman Tiga!"

"I am Ultraman Tiga!"

"We've become Ultraman Tiga!"

Chiki and the other children fought alongside Ultraman Tiga.

"Me too, I'm inside Ultraman Tiga too..." Lina's eyes were glazed over.

At that moment, the red giant, whose body was coated with a layer of golden light, also arrived beside Tiga.

Tiga was slightly surprised to see the red giant beside him, but he nodded slightly to the red giant, touched the color timer on his chest, and sent a beam of golden light towards the crystal on the red giant's forehead.

The golden light emanating from the red giant became even more dazzling.

After doing all this, Tiga clenched his fists, pulled them to his waist, and then quickly extended them, overlapping them in the middle.

Children all over the world now know what to do next.

That is—to deliver the final blow to the evil god!

Ultraman Tiga spreads his arms horizontally, gathering energy from the surrounding space.

The red giant also clenched his fists and brought them to his waist, then stretched his arms out and gradually moved them towards the center.

Golden light continued to converge.

Shining Tiga, standing in front of Gatanothor, was ready to fire the Zepellion Ray.

Tiga's arms formed an L-shape, and he and the children simultaneously fired the dazzling Zeperion Ray.

The red giant's hands, which had been gathered in the middle, quickly formed an L-shape, and the red beam of light shot out along with the dazzling Zepelion beam.

Two beams of light of different colors fell on Gatanothor, causing him to burst into flames.

Facing the terrifying low groan that sounded like the rumbling of the earth, and the burning evil god Gatanothor, Shining Tiga unleashed its final attack, and the Shining Timer flashed.

Shining Tiga clenched his fists in front of his chest and released an explosive burst of energy from the color timer.

The immense power wiped Gatanothor's very existence, along with the darkness, from this earth... no, it could be said, from the entire universe.

The black mist covering the sky also dissipated completely as the evil god disappeared.

The sky cleared up.

The bright sunlight shone completely into the alien temple, revealing its desolate interior.

Two Ultramen, radiating golden light, stood on the hill where the R'lyeh Temple was located.

Meanwhile, the Zoga who wreaked havoc all over the world were all turned into corpses and perished.

"It's over..." Daigo gazed at the bright sunlight, knowing full well what was going on.

He has completed his mission as the Giant of Light, Tiga.

Shining Tiga's body transformed into shimmering particles and gradually dissipated.

The light that has dissipated will surely return once again to every child in the world who has become light.

The red giant also vanished in a beam of light after Tiga disappeared.

On the calm sea, the Dolphin retrieved the Magus energy tank that Masaki had been trapped in.

When it was pulled from the sea, the Atedis had also arrived there.

The Victory Flying Swallow EX-J and the Caro Flying Boat were also recovered.

Masaki was taken to the bridge.

Wrapped in a wet towel, Masaki struggled to take steps using only his own strength.

"Are you alright?" Director Sawai asked with concern.

"Although it failed..."

Dr. Yato shook his head and said, "No, without our attempts, no miracle would have occurred. Don't you think so?"

Masaki agreed, "Yes..."

Yoshioka said to Sawai, "We've won."

Sawai then announced to everyone present, "We humans have won all the victories."

On the deck of the Atlas, Daigo and Shen Yun stood side by side, gazing at the sea.

"Dagu!"

"Dagu!"

Megumi, Munakata, Shinjo, Horii, Nozue, and Rena ran in the direction of Daigo.

However, they were somewhat surprised when they saw Shen Yun beside Daigo.

"Doctor, when did you get back?" Nori asked curiously.

"Just now." Shen Yun smiled slightly.

Kei looked at Shen Yun thoughtfully, as if she had guessed something, but she didn't say anything.

It's good to be a little confused sometimes, isn't it?

Lina only had eyes for Daigo, completely ignoring Shen Yun, and threw herself into Daigo's arms.

Daigo then hugged Rena tightly.

I heard your voice.

Lina nodded: "Mm."

Daigo grasped Rena's hand and placed the petrified Spark Lens in her palm.

"!"

That no longer matters. Even so, the petrified Spark Lens eventually turned into tiny grains of sand, which dissipated with the sea breeze.

"You can no longer become Ultraman, can you...?"

Perhaps so, however.

"Actually, everyone can become light through their own power. You have become light too, haven't you?"

"Um."

The sensible team members watched the two from a distance.

However, Xincheng impatiently interrupted, "Okay, it's alright! Let's all take a picture to remember this moment!"

With their backs to the bridge, the team members gathered around Daigo and Rena, who had their arms around each other's shoulders.

"Okay, Ye Rui, could you come here for a moment?"

"ah……?"

"Please press the shutter button~"

As expected, Ye Rui revealed a hint of dissatisfaction.

"It's always like this..."

"How about I do it this time?" Shen Yun asked with a smile.

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Although Ye Rui said this, he still handed the camera to Shen Yun.

Shen Yun, camera in hand, smiled and said, "Okay, I'm going to take a picture! What does 1+1 equal?"
