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

Yunyu asked Changze if he had any missions and volunteered, but Changze declined, saying, "I trust the CEA ace pilots."

Yun Yu outwardly agreed, but secretly followed up using her superb tailing skills.

[How did Lao Yun learn to track people so well?]

[Alien: "Yeah, how did you train? Teach us!"]

[It is said that extraterrestrials living on Earth have heard a strange rule: If you suspect someone is following you, never expose them, or you will die instantly!]

[If we don't expose them, they'll follow us to our homes, and then one of them will die, and a bunch of them will die, right?]

[If we're going to die, we'll die together.]

【…】

Nagasawa arrived at the steel plant ruins in the northwest, reported the findings, and then began his exploration.

Just as Yun Yu was about to follow, she was drawn to a stone tablet emitting strange energy at the edge of the ruins.

He approached to investigate, and a white shadow flashed by. In his excitement during the Ghost Festival, he almost fired a cross-shaped light dart. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was his long-lost little mother.

Oh my god, Mom!

This is the woman who could be my mother!

Oh no, it really does seem to be Mom.

It seems like the last time we met was when the Golden Dragon King appeared.

[Perhaps it's because the monster in this episode is the Earth God?]

【…】

She became even more listless and did not speak. She simply raised her hand and gently stroked the stone tablet. Time seemed to reverse on the stone surface, and the blurred characters reappeared stroke by stroke. The four large characters at the top were clearly visible: "Eternal Glory".

At this point, the video switched to footage from many years ago.

Sixty years ago, the slogans and the sound of steelmaking by the workers of Qingyanshan Steel Plant awakened the god of the earth's veins. He liked the sound and slept peacefully.

Later, missiles attacked the steel mill, killing 111 workers.

[No way, no way, how was this released?]

Is it really feasible to write this kind of anti-war piece under the current conditions?

[And look at this slogan; you can clearly see what kind of power it represents.]

[So, the background of the Laura is not simply a unification, but rather that Earth has become a red planet?]

I was wondering why Final Fantasy didn't get a sequel?

Goodbye, little Yuan, we'll miss you.

【…】

Meanwhile, a wisp of black energy quietly descended from the depths of the universe, lying dormant like a seed for sixty years.

Sixty years later, the gods awoke and discovered that the workers had been forgotten. So they secretly used the workers' steel to form a body, hoping that people would remember them.

The moment it took shape, that wisp of black energy awakened and seeped into the god's core, twisting the gentle obsession of "wanting to be remembered" into a murderous intent of "destruction".

The god resisted desperately but failed, and was eventually controlled, heading towards the town.

[Now it's really not Lao Liu's fault. It would be a miracle if Lao Liu could defeat this thing.]

What does it mean when someone is described as having dozens of hats on their head?

[Still the same old playing style.]

Even if you dare to broadcast it, I wouldn't dare to watch it.

Everyone here will receive a one-way ticket.

【…】

The little girl's mother also informed her that the core of Dimaga was the god of the Qingyan Mountain ley lines, who had gone berserk due to the pollution of resentment. The god's abuse of power would cause the ley lines to collapse, and she needed to stop other things from descending.

Oh no, a new prison cell is coming.

[It's finally here! Although these episodes were indeed brilliant, after a while, they've become a bit tiresome. Finally, we're going to the prison!]

What does it mean to get tired of watching the same old episodes?

While current dramas with humanistic themes are indeed quite good, I'd much rather see dramas that erupt from despair—that's truly captivating!

【…】

The scene then shifts to the steel mill, where Nagasawa is testing steel beams by hand at the mill's ruins. He discovers the steel's strength is average and reports this to Sato.

Sato deduced that the high temperature of the volcano might have altered the steel structure, and asked him to investigate and bring back samples.

During his exploration, Nagasawa found a piece of scrap paper among the rubble that read, "Harder than iron, stronger than steel?"

Unity is strength!

The answer to how to defeat the monster has already been given.

[I feel that Captain Sato's momentary hesitation wasn't about figuring out why the steel was so fragile, but rather about determining whether Nagasawa was Ultraman.]

[Yeah, the next episode is a rare recap episode of the Prison Ryu arc, supposedly told from the perspective of the defense force.]

"That'll take another week! I'll die from the tonic!"

【…】

Suddenly the ground shook violently, and Sato urgently ordered an evacuation. A monster had appeared and was moving towards the town.

Changze rushed out of the steel mill, relieved that he hadn't let the boy follow him, but when he looked up, he saw Yunyu standing on the high ground looking at the monster.

Changze was speechless. Just as he was about to tell him to run, Yunyu spoke up first: "I'll go and inform the townspeople. You hurry up and pilot the Dragon Might Mech to stop him!" After saying that, she sped off towards the town.

[Nagasawa: Is he the CEA or am I the CEA?]

What do you mean by a concerned citizen wanting to evacuate the crowd?

This citizen seems a bit too enthusiastic.

【…】

And Sirius arrived just in time, determined to break through the steel armor as well.

Photon rays were ineffective, lava rays swallowed the light, Sirius dodged with a perfect backbend and slid close, and lightning cuts left only shallow marks on the steel armor.

What does it mean that a skill capable of breaking through Etelgar's defenses can only leave a mark on this monster?

"Oh sir, it would be absurd if that could actually be broken."

[If Lao Liu fails to defeat the monster, he'll be crushed to death by the hat.]

【…】

Suddenly, countless workers shouted in unison: "The steel we use to protect the people is not for harming them!"

Even Li Wei, who had initially found the comments funny, was slightly taken aback.

The resentment still controlled it to strike down with its palm. Sirius crossed his arms to block, but was knocked back hundreds of meters. The spikes then extended and stabbed at him. Sirius used his arm blades to deflect the attack, but his shoulders were still scorched by the high temperature.

Just as Dimaga was condensing its lava ray, the Dragon Might mech fired a shot from the side into its mouth, forcibly interrupting its attack and rushing to its aid.

Is Kids' BBQ reopening soon?

Are these the voices of the workers?

Yes, how can this steel be considered the steel of those workers? The steel of the workers is used to protect the people!

【…】

Then he shouted, "Steel is the bulwark we build for our ideals," and immediately countless spikes shot out like a steel forest.

Sirius Mach moved behind him, and just as his lightning slash was about to land, Dimaga swung his tail back, and the ground beneath his feet cracked open, disrupting Sirius's dodging rhythm.

Although the lightning slash hit the back of the neck, the tip of the tail ripped through Sirius's right chest, and golden light particles surged out. He was knocked to the ground and could not get up for a while.

[Takeoff 3/1]

"Sir, my body simply can't take it anymore today."

[Wasn't the last time we saw the Streamer Particles attack during the battle with Melba?]

My heart aches for my little Liuliu.

[Mommy Liu is in pain, God of the Earth, please be gentle.]

【…】

Dimaga closed in step by step, but the Dragon Might mech was firmly blocked by the spikes.

Just as Sirius was in a state of agony and confusion, the voices of 111 workers echoed from all corners of the earth, hoarse yet resolute: "Ultraman, please stop him! Don't let our steel harm the people!"

Finally, all the voices converged into one sentence: "Please!"

[Lao Liu: "I heard... the voice of the people!"]

Wow, we haven't heard the voice of the stars yet, but we've heard the voice of the people first!

Workers have power!

【…】

At this moment, the stone tablet that the little girl's mother had retraced its steps to glowed, and 111 names lit up. The steel mill remains were summoned and gathered into a greatsword in the shape of a greatsword squad, which flew straight to Sirius.

Wow, that knife is powerful!

Is Lao Liu going to have a special weapon?

[That can't be, right? Brother Dai didn't sell it, did he?]

If Brother Dai dares to sell this, he'll be truly unbeatable.

According to the official website, this knife seems to be just a symbol of a belief or spirit, so it's probably just a trial card.

"Yes, otherwise this sword's strength is too excessive. If it encounters a powerful monster and breaks, or even fails to cut anything, I think Lao Liu's life will be over."

【…】

Upon hearing the workers' voices, Sirius's pain lessened. He used a photon ray to create distance, flipped over, and caught the greatsword with his hand, feeling the belief in protection, the determination to die for it, and the mournful cry of steel.

After declaring, "I will never let the steel I protect harm the people," he charged forward with his sword, slicing through the Dimaga armor from his left shoulder to his waist.

Immediately, it charged up a full moon beam, which Dimaga tried to block, but the Dragon Might mech desperately held it back.

[Finally, they used the Full Moon Beam!]

Master Gao's work was still way too excessive.

Because of Master Gao, Lao Liu's already underworld-like movements became even less like those of a mortal.

[This is the true power of unity; it even managed to create a crack in steel that was originally completely impenetrable.]

【…】

Gentle energy seeped in through the cracks, purifying the resentment. Dimaga gradually calmed down, and its steel armor disintegrated into golden light spots that merged into the earth.

After regaining his senses, the Earth God apologized shyly. Sirius only wished that he restore the Earth to its original state, and the god solemnly agreed.

What does it mean that the voice of the Earth God is a boy's voice?

[Oops, I forgot to electrify you shota lovers! I've messed up the photoelectric lolita complex!]

[I guess only the parts marked in red will be understandable in this section...]

【…】

As the sun set, Sirius gazed silently at the stone tablet engraved with names for a moment, then nodded to the Dragon Might mech and flew into the sky.

Behind them, the earth's veins slowly repaired themselves, the cracks closed, and new grass sprouted. The 111 names were clearly visible in the sunlight...

Because someone remembers them.

[Wow, my flight to Lao Liu took off normally this time?]

[Congratulations to Lao Liu for another episode becoming a masterpiece!]

[I'm really going to go from being a hit to being ranked low in this whole series.]

It seems like these episodes are all related to forgetting.

Yes, and the themes of forgetting are different: the bar is an island of memories after destruction, the columbarium is an abandoned place where no one worships, and the earth god is diluted by the times and mundane life.

【…】

At this moment, the ending theme plays, and as it ends, the scene returns to the steel mill.

At this moment, the ruins of the steel plant have been cleared, the stone tablets have been repaired and covered, and 111 names have reappeared. The steel memorial hall built with old steel is under construction next to it.

Wearing a volunteer uniform, Yunyu told Su Mo about the workers' past. Su Mo said it was big news and would help more people remember the heroes.

Just then, a few children ran over after school. The little girl asked what they were doing, and the boy said, "We're fixing a house for the hero." The little girl then put down a wildflower.

Finally, Su Mo closed her notebook and invited Yun Yu to have coffee. The two left side by side.

Sparks flickered at the construction site behind them, and the stone tablet silently guarded the names that were being remembered anew in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Upon seeing this, accompanied by a series of "Gaia!!!" comments, Li Wei also sent his own comment:

[People's heroes, forever immortal!]

---

[Okay, that's 5,000 words for the movie review. There are some things the author really doesn't dare to write in the comments. If the author did write them, it wouldn't be goodbye to Yuan Xiaodi, but goodbye to the author.]

Finally, thank you everyone for your support and patience. Love you all, meow Ciallo～(∠・ω＜)⌒☆】
