We asked you to make tokusatsu films, and you actually became Ultraman?

[Note that the time setting of this book is early 2026, so Theo doesn't exist yet. I wanted to write this book because it's the 60th anniversary, to write my own 60th anniversary story. Of course, the reason for this is also because Theo is too ugly. And since it's a 60th anniversary commemorative work, it will be developed in the style of a pure TV drama.]

In addition, this story is a slow burn; the first transformation and battle doesn't occur until Chapter 10. It's not suitable for readers who enjoy fast-paced, action-packed stories. It also contains a lot of references to Ultraman, which may be incomprehensible to those outside the fandom.

Since this is the author's first book, I hope everyone can leave comments and offer their support; this is the author's greatest motivation.

In the author's opinion, the most basic requirement for an Ultraman is to have a positive moral compass and protect the weak, so if you like watching the protagonist kill his way through the world, you can scroll away and leave.

Finally! The author was once Ultraman, so he didn't just write whatever came to mind.

In the world of tokusatsu, there have been dozens of large-scale battles throughout history, with complex and unpredictable events. There was the "Great Deku Kai Era" that shook the ages, followed by Next Cosplay where chakra was released inside the suit, not to mention the "Wandering Lion" before that.

Now, after experiencing a series of events such as "Car Power Giant," "Mouse Brother," and "Ultraman 60th Anniversary Commemorative PV," Ultraman fans have long since given up.

After lying flat, apart from a little ripple caused by the Zero 60th anniversary movie, there has been no further movement in the Olympic circle.

But just as Osaka fans were enjoying a rare moment of peace, Madoka Kaname struck.

"If one day you could gain the power of light, would you fight to protect everything?"

When netizens first saw the title, they thought Madoka was trying to sell nostalgia again. But when they clicked into the comments section under the video, they found that the pinned post was actually an application form.

The person who signed up was none other than the male lead in the new Madoka Magica 60th Anniversary Celebration!

As a result, netizens flooded the comments section of the video.

I'm super round!

[Dude, can I really play the male lead?]

To be honest, people around me said I was very handsome when I was little, and as I grew up, they said I looked like that car crash hero. I feel like no one is more suitable than me.

[To Daigo upstairs, I totally agree. Everyone around me says I look a lot like that guy, what's his name?]

Is that Uchiha Sasuke?

Yes, I'm here.

【…】

As someone who grew up watching Ultraman, Yunyu naturally came across the video shortly afterward. Seeing the amazing comments from netizens, she happily patted her own abs, which looked like chocolate bars.

As a tokusatsu fan, his enjoyment is that simple: every day he checks the latest news on tokusatsu, watches some funny videos from content creators, and while eating, he watches some new content creators give lengthy analyses of old movies.

I signed up in Yuan Shen's pinned comment, thought about it for a while, and carefully typed out my own comment.

To be honest, if I really became the light, I would definitely run away out of fear. I'm just an ordinary person, at most I just look like Eddie Peng. Rather than giving the light to me, I'd rather give it to someone with more courage, so that no more innocent people will lose their lives.

After posting the comment, Yunyu felt she had been a bit sentimental, so she long-pressed the comment and was about to delete it when her phone suddenly vibrated.

Yun Yu paused for a moment, thinking it was a system notification, and stopped deleting. He tapped his fingertip and opened the newly arrived text message.

However, the moment his gaze focused on the screen, something unexpected happened.

Instead of displaying the carrier's interface, the phone screen burst forth with an extremely dazzling white light. The light was not like the backlight of an electronic screen, but rather like some kind of high-density energy body exploding directly in his hand.

  

"WC—"

Yun Yu didn't even have time to cry out before she was completely engulfed by the eerie white light.

In that instant, he felt as if his body had been broken down into countless particles of light, and his consciousness was rapidly stripped away in a strong sense of weightlessness.

Only a phone, no longer supported, fell to the floor with a "thud," its screen still lit, faintly displaying the unread message:

Congratulations! You've won the grand prize! You've been selected to play the male lead in our 60th anniversary production, "Ultraman Sirius," and we cordially invite you to star in it!

……

The dizziness receded like the tide, replaced by a solid, grounded feeling.

Yun Yu subconsciously reached out to grab something to steady herself, her fingers instinctively swiping through the air—but she grasped nothing.

He didn't have a cell phone, and he wasn't in his bedroom.

He was followed by a wave of dizziness and nausea. He staggered a couple of steps before managing to steady himself.

"Where...am I?"

Yun Yu raised her head blankly.

The room I had envisioned had vanished, replaced by a bustling, unfamiliar city.

This place is like a mirror image of Shibuya, Tokyo. The huge intersection and the neon lights from all directions dye the night sky a mesmerizing purple-red. High-rise buildings stand all around, and the exterior walls of each building are covered with huge LED screens.

The air was filled with a strange smell, a mixture of car exhaust, perfume and sweat. The cacophony of voices and the distant rumble of trams made Yunyu, who was already dizzy, have to cover her ears.

Yun Yu stood on the street, covering her ears and barely managing to stay upright. She was still wearing that casual T-shirt, which made her look out of place in a street where everyone was dressed in suits.

He subconsciously touched his pockets, but apart from the tissue he had just used to wipe his nose, there was nothing there. His phone was gone, but his wallet was still there.

Just as he was at a loss, the giant screen on the outer wall of a tower called "CEA" directly in front of him, which occupied a height of three floors, suddenly changed its image.

The fashionable young man who was originally playing disappeared, and in his place appeared a middle-aged man wearing a dark gray suit with his hair neatly combed.

The man's face was magnified to the extreme by the high-definition lens, and even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were clearly visible. He stood behind a futuristic silver podium, with a deep and breathtaking starry sky as the background.

Good evening, everyone.

The deep voice seemed to carry an invisible penetrating force, instantly drowning out the noise of the street. The originally noisy voices seemed to have been paused, quickly subsiding, leaving only a few occasional car horns in the distance, which sounded particularly abrupt.

Yun Yu felt the pressure on her ears suddenly lessen, and then slowly lowered her hands from her ears, rubbing her reddened earlobes in a daze.

"I am Kenji Sato, the captain of the Earth Union Space Exploration Defense Force."

The captain on the screen pushed up his glasses, his eyes revealing absolute rationality.

"Based on the latest deep space exploration data, we have to admit an exciting fact: our probe has reached Saturn and brought back samples of Saturn's atmosphere."

Yun Yu stared blankly at the screen, the calm voice of Captain Kenji Sato echoing in her ears.

"This is a great victory for our technology. In this era, Earth is no longer our everything; it is merely the starting line for us to reach the vast stars. Our journey is to that truly infinite place."

The screen then switched to a spectacular view of a massive interstellar warship unfurling its light sails in space, with golden light bathing the captain's profile.

Standing on the bustling street, looking at this bizarre and surreal scene, Yun Yu felt an even stronger unease. It was as if he had traveled through time...
