00:00Episode 1: Fantasy Special Effects Series Ultraman
00:11Hello, thank you for watching today
00:16Today's topic is the fantasy special effects series Ultraman
00:22The fantasy special effects series Ultraman focuses on mysterious incidents and summit phenomena.
00:30This work was produced as a follow-up to the special effects TV program Ultra Q and was a huge hit.
00:37The Ultraman who appears in this film is also known as the original Ultraman.
00:44This is the first in the ongoing Ultraman series.
00:49So let's take a look at this memorable original Ultraman.
00:56The fantasy special effects series Ultraman was released between 1966 and 1967.
01:06A total of 39 episodes were aired.
01:09The average viewership was 36.8% and the highest viewership was 42.8%.
01:20This became the starting point for the series
01:23The story begins one night when Officer Hayata of the Science Special Search Party
01:29During a patrol by a small Beetle
01:32Unidentified blue and red spheres were discovered
01:36I'm tracking it, but there's a red sphere
01:40He crashed to his death due to an accidental collision.
01:44These spheres are Ultraman from outer space.
01:48It was Bemular, a space monster that escaped during a mistaken shipment to the Space Graveyard.
01:53My mistake caused the death of Officer Hayata.
01:58Ultraman thought, and by giving his life
02:02As one body, we will bring Officer Hayata back to life.
02:06After that, Officer Hayata hid the fact that he was Ultraman.
02:11Face off against monsters that appear one after another
02:15Now, let me explain about Ultraman.
02:21Ultraman is 40m tall, weighs 35,000t, has a jumping ability of 800m, and can run at a high speed.
02:31It travels at 450 km/h, has a flying speed of Mach 5, and is approximately 20,000 years old.
02:40Normally, he acts as the human Officer Hayata,
02:45When a monster appears, take out the beta capsule needed for transformation.
02:51Transform into Ultraman
02:54Ultraman is an alien from the Land of Light in the M78 Nebula.
03:01During his mission, he accidentally visits Earth as a member of the Space Guard.
03:08Due to an accident, through Officer Hayada of the Science Special Search Party
03:13I resolve to fight to protect peace on Earth.
03:17Ultraman has a variety of special abilities, including psychic powers, and fighting techniques.
03:24His signature special move is a crossed left and right hand attack.
03:30It has a 500,000 degree specium ray, and can fire it in rapid succession and for a long time.
03:36Another special move is the energy of the Specium Ray.
03:42The Yazaki descends, rolled up in a ring, and fires explosive rays of high-temperature energy from the tips of both arms.
03:49Ultra Attack Ray etc.
03:52Ultraman has a variety of special moves and boasts invincible strength.
03:59Of course, there are weaknesses too.
04:01Its greatest weakness is that it can only fight for three minutes on Earth.
04:07There's a time limit
04:09After transforming from Hayato to a member of the corps, a three-minute countdown begins.
04:15As the time limit approaches, the color timer on your chest
04:19It changes from blue to red and flashes
04:22And once the time limit is over
04:25As soon as the light from the Color Timer fades away
04:29With no remaining energy, Ultraman ceases to function.
04:33That means you'll die.
04:36Supporting Ultraman is the Science Special Measures Team.
04:42This is the organization to which Ultraman Hayata belongs.
04:46It was originally a research and operations organization that investigated maritime incidents.
04:52The headquarters is in Paris, France
04:55The Japanese branch's base is located in the suburbs of Tokyo.
04:59Five members, including Hayata, are on duty.
05:03Although it is a research and operations organization, its equipment is powerful.
05:09Jet Beetle aircraft and underwater special submarines are deployed.
05:14For more information about the Science Special Measures Unit, please see the videos on this channel.
05:19It is explained in detail in Science Special Measures Team & Jet Beetle.
05:25Please take a look
05:27Ultraman has defeated many monsters and monsters.
05:34Suddenly, the Zetton aliens attack from space in many flying saucers.
05:40At one point, it was thought that the Science Special Measures Team had defeated these Zetton aliens,
05:47The survivors will infiltrate the Science Special Measures Unit's base and destroy it.
05:53This last Zetton is also defeated.
05:57Immediately afterwards, a giant flying saucer appears from underground, and at the same time, the monster Zetton appears.
06:04And Officer Sayata also becomes Ultraman and fights Zetton.
06:11The special technique, the Specium Ray, was completely ineffective.
06:16Ultraman is forced to struggle
06:19Zetton fires a powerful beam of light at the Color Timer
06:23Defeat Ultraman
06:25It seemed like a complete victory for Zetton.
06:29The Tensil Rocket type zero gravity bullet developed by Dr. Iwamoto
06:34Zetton is shot by a member of the Storm Troops and dies in an explosion.
06:37But Ultraman still hasn't moved.
06:41A red sphere flying from space is approaching
06:45Enveloping Ultraman
06:47The sphere was Sophie, a member of the Space Guard.
06:53Ultraman and Officer Hayata are separated.
06:57After giving life to each of them, together with Ultraman
07:01The show ends as we leave Earth behind.
07:06Now let's take a look at Ultraman in action.
07:27The mark I put on my comments is a meteor
07:34Shoot down the enemy with your prized jet
07:40From the land of light, for us

10:02What did you think?
10:04When I was a child, I remember often playing Ultraman using an Ultraman mask I bought at a festival stall and a Beta Capsule I made out of a toilet paper roll.
10:17However, there weren't many monster masks available, so all my friends were wearing Ultraman masks too.
10:28It's nostalgic.
10:29Well, that's all for now. See you next time. Bye.
