Original subtitles

Three months ago, a mysterious giant appeared here in Hoshimoto City.

Kaiju have been appearing one after another in recent years,

but the giant has defeated nearly all of them.

It remains a mystery,

but the Global Defense Force and research institutes are investigating.

What do you think of the mysterious giant?

The mysterious giant? I'm counting on him.

It takes longer for the GDF to defeat kaiju.

I'm a little scared.

You can't tell what he's thinking.

Isn't it difficult to raise a child amidst repeated kaiju disasters?

Uh-oh!

- Good luck today! - Good morning!

- Hey there! Take care! - Good morning!

Of course, kaiju disasters aren't just an issue for Hoshimoto City.

- Sorry! - 16 years ago…

Whoa!

Inui! We're rolling!

We have been living alongside kaiju since K-Day,

that day 16 years ago when kaiju appeared simultaneously around the world.

Dealing with them is an issue for all of humanity.

It's easily over 50 meters tall!

You can't fight with that!

Mr. Ishido?!

You'll lend me your power again?

Hello?

Like I told you,

SKIP isn't an organization that fights kaiju.

We investigate and analyze kaiju disasters,

and work to prevent them.

What? My name?

It's YouPi.

YouPi.

I'm not trying to be funny. Oh?

They hung up.

Good morning!

Good morning, Yuma. What are you doing here?

Where's the chief and Rin?

There was an alert from Monohorn's unmanned monitoring system,

so they went there.

There was an anomaly.

Oh no!

Excuse me!

Time to run, Yuma!

Why don't they just remove this horn?

They once considered making it a tourist spot.

How insensitive. It's been stuck here for 16 years.

They should take it to a GDF research lab.

It was left here by the single space kaiju of the seven kaiju that appeared on K-Day.

There must be a reason the GDF wants to preserve the site.

Then they should manage it themselves.

Good morning!

You're late!

I'm sorry! What's the situation?

Another resonance event?

The thermal camera detected a life form.

A life form?

It doesn't mean the kaiju's alive.

We detected a small life form moving inside the horn.

Maybe a mouse or squirrel made a nest?

That's actually a possibility.

I'll take a look anyway.

- Chief! - Yeah?

I need a boost!

- A boost? - A boost, please!

Right.

- Up you go! - Ow!

Oof!

You're in the zone, Yuma.

- A little to the right! - The right?!

- The right… - Ah, too far!

- The left! - The left?

Biomagnetism detected!

But there's no corresponding kaiju data.

It's close!

Huh?

Look!

I'll follow it!

Hey! Be careful!

Sweep, sweep.

Sweep. Sweep, sweep.

This is Rin. YouPi?

This is YouPi. What is it, Rin?

An unidentified creature's appeared! Meet up with Yuma to investigate!

Roger! YouPi's on the job!

Hup!

Be safe, You-bot!

Hold down the fort, Pi-body!

Vroom!

Vroom!

Yuma, did you find it?

I heard something strange.

Let's split up. YouPi, you—

It's not "YouPi"! It's just "You-bot"!

Sorry. You-bot, check over there!

Roger! You-bot's on the job!

Vroom!

A Shagong?!

Are you all right?

Oh! I ran into you earlier.

I'm Shu Ishido, a special investigator from the Global Defense Force's

Space Science Division.

I'm here about the Monohorn anomaly.

I'm Hiroshi Ban, chief of SKIP's Hoshimoto branch.

I specialize in geology.

I'm Rin Natsume.

I specialize in mechanical engineering and manage the computer system.

That's our AI robot—

I'm Pi-body. You-bot is on a mission.

Together we make YouPi.

Sorry. It's a little complicated.

I'm Yuma Hize.

I specialize in kaiju biology.

I only joined three months ago.

Thank you for earlier!

We missed your arrival, and then you saved Yuma.

Accept my apologies and gratitude.

Please. It was nothing.

More importantly, do you have data on that kaiju?

Yes!

Shagong, the armored shell kaiju.

They're fierce and normally live underground.

We deal with them when they occasionally surface

and attack people and livestock.

What's strange is that they don't usually emerge this time of year…

… and that it was eating rocks.

Yes. They're supposed to be carnivores.

Oh! That's the bug thing from earlier!

Oo-ze, the extraterrestrial parasitic organism.

It came to Earth via a space kaiju.

It feeds on calcium carbonate as it changes hosts.

Four of its kind have already been spotted overseas.

I get it!

Limestone caves are rich in calcium carbonate!

That's why it was eating rocks!

Oo-zes secrete a hormone that causes their hosts to rapidly grow,

making them rampage in search of food.

With ample food, they should grow to full size in a few days.

I have a question.

How did the Oo-ze remain undetected inside the Monohorn for 16 years?

Some parasites protect themselves

when their host dies by going into suspended animation.

That must have been it.

Then why did it suddenly awaken now?

That's…

Coffee!

- Huh? - What?

When stuck, coffee can refresh your mind.

Uh, do we have any coffee?

- N-No. - No need to grind fresh beans.

A normal coffee maker will suffice.

We don't have one, do we?

We don't have one.

You don't?

Uh…

Then instant coffee will do!

We don't have any… Right?

Huh?!

Not even that?!

Inconceivable!

A workplace that doesn't have coffee?!

Tremble, tremble, tremble.

It's from You-bot! Everyone, You-bot's calling!

I'm over Ishitama, and many areas of ground have collapsed outside Mt. Shishio.

Also, a life form's been detected. I'm going to check underground! Vroom!

You-bot, are you okay?!

I'm fine! But that scared me!

That Shagong has grown even bigger!

Asphalt and clay pipes have lots of nutrients for it.

At this rate, it'll hit Hayama Chemical Industries.

Their primary product is…

calcium carbonate!

SKIP, move out!

Roger!

This is SKIP's Hoshimoto branch.

Get me the Global Defense Force's Kaiju Control Unit.

The Shagong that was reported is moving from Mt. Shishio…

You're heading over there? Without weapons?

We alert the local residents and evacuate them.

Don't police and firefighters…

Doing anything possible to minimize the damage from kaiju disasters…

That's SKIP!

I've never heard of Oo-ze before.

Isn't kaiju data shared between all research institutions?

Things involving space are strictly controlled by the GDF.

They don't release all their data.

We may work with them,

but there's a tall, thick wall between us.

You're still green, Yuma.

I didn't know.

Shagong!

It's easily over 50 meters tall!

How much did it eat?!

Everyone, this way! Stay calm!

Please stay calm and evacuate!

Please stay calm!

Fire!

All those attacks and it's still standing!

They multiplied inside of it?!

Stay back, you monsters!

Now's your chance! Run!

You can't fight with that!

Mr. Ishido?!

Look out!

Mr. Ishido?

Mr. Ishido! Mr. Ishido?!

Mr. Ishido!

Yuma.

You'll lend me your power again?

The mysterious giant!

What's going on?!

What is that thing?! Huh?!

W-What?! What?!

Yuma. Unleash your imagination!

Yes!

He saved us again.

I think I'm getting the hang of it.

Hey!

Yuma! Where were you?!

You worry us like this every time.

I'm sorry!

Where's Mr. Ishido?

Mr. Ishido!

The Oo-ze spawn perished when the mother died.

We should thank him someday.

Ultraman Arc.

Ultra…?

Constantly calling him "the mysterious giant" is rude.

What a beautiful arc.

Arc…

Ultraman Arc.

I wonder how Mr. Ishido is doing.

There you go again, Yuma.

Well, he left before we could say goodbye.

There's that tall, thick wall between the GDF and—

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Good morning.

Listen up.

HQ has informed me that, as of today,

a special investigator from the Global Defense Force

will be stationed at our branch.

Thank you for the other day.

I, Shu Ishido, will be working with you starting today.

I'm pleased to be here.

What?!

The future is in these hands

Let's hold hands and go dream

Today we boldly dance barefoot

(Sizzle, sizzle) Light a fire in your heart

Even if they laugh or put us down We'll definitely be shining our brightest

While dreams may burn in our hearts They won't ever burn up

Just like the sun They'll arrive every day

And illuminate us

I know love is in these hands

If we laugh out loud, it'll be all right

That's right Nothing's wrong

The future's in these hands

I want to hold hands and go dream

Sizzle, siz-siz-siz-siz-sizzle Sizzle, sizzle

I want to dream

Sizzle, siz-siz-siz-siz-sizzle Sizzle, sizzle

I want to dream

A mysterious ruin appears at a construction site.

Receiving a request from Hayato, a boy who believes a kaiju legend,

me and Mr. Ishido start to investigate.

But the lord of the forest is awakening from a 1,200-year slumber!

Next time on Ultraman Arc,

"Legend in the Woods"

Time to run, Yuma!
