Vroom!

Vroom!

This way!

Vroom!

You-bot, keep it up! It's straight ahead!

Just a bit further! Hang in there, You-bot!

Roger! You-bot's on the job!

Initiate power transmission!

- Absorbing electricity made it visible! - Now increase the voltage!

Well done, You-bot!

The Intelligence Bureau has requested…

Let's split up and find him!

How can they sacrifice the future?!

I want to help you.

Mr. Yamagami!

Oh! Rin!

It's been a while.

It really has.

You're working hard as usual.

You haven't changed either.

That was an amazing operation.

You applied more voltage than Neronga's electrical storage organ can handle,

causing it to overcharge.

How'd you deliver such a high voltage?

With daimode.

Kawami Heavy industries supplied us with some in gratitude for

our help with Nezutron.

I see.

It's been a while since we obtained a complete sample like this.

Recently Ultraman shows up and it's all "zap" and "boom"!

Which is why we were sent here to observe.

- This is our kaijuology specialist. - I'm Yuma Hize.

I'm Satoru Yamagami of SKIP HQ's Kaiju Analysis Unit.

- Nice to meet you. - The pleasure is mine.

Kaiju cells are being traded on the black market overseas.

It seems that some wealthy individuals are collecting them.

The other day, Shagong cells were confiscated.

Shagong's a kaiju unique to Japan.

Which means the cells were smuggled out of Japan?

Much about kaiju is unknown.

Depending on how they're handled, even mere cells

could have adverse effects on ecosystems.

Aren't all the collected cells stored at HQ?

The GDF's Intelligence Bureau thinks it's an inside job.

Some of the confiscated cells have something in common.

In common?

The same person at SKIP HQ was in charge of their storage.

Satoru Yamagami.

The Intelligence Bureau has requested that Rin assist them

by making contact with Yamagami and looking into his activities.

Why Rin?

You two go back a long way, don't you?

And he backed your application to SKIP.

He'd never do anything like that.

Can't they just question him directly?

There isn't enough evidence.

If he puts up his guard, it will hinder the investigation.

Rin…

To be honest, I'm against making you spy on him.

You are free to refuse.

What'll it be?

I'll do it.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Our branch also has cells collected from Neronga.

I'll tell the Collection Unit.

Based on the previously collected cells of Neronga, Gabora, Pagos, and Magular,

we believe they share a common ancestor.

If we could understand and predict their behavior, there'd be nothing to fear.

We could even utilize their powers.

Utilize?

A kaiju that can absorb and even generate electricity…

A kaiju that produces salt…

A kaiju that spews fire…

If we could utilize those powers,

we could create a better, more environmentally friendly world.

That's what I think.

They have hidden at the bottom of the ocean in troughs and trenches,

ridden ocean currents,

and emerged from volcanoes and active faults.

There are various possible patterns.

You're here again.

Using these patterns to predict the routes they'll move along…

You laughed.

What?

You've been quiet all day, so I was worried.

Oh, it's just… It's been so long.

I was just nervous.

You're kidding.

I decided not to contact you until I was a full-fledged adult.

So… How do I put it…?

I was relieved to see that you haven't changed.

You mean I'm still immature?

I've changed, too.

After all…

I'm a father now.

- What? - Wow!

What a cute baby!

- Yeah. - Wow.

When was your baby born?

Last year.

I need to make a better future for my child's sake as well.

Look.

- Wow, that's so cute. - Isn't it?

- Very cute. - See the similarities?

- Right? - You mean with you?

See? This looks just like me.

He seems very nice.

Maybe the Intelligence Bureau is wrong this time.

We can't be sure. Stay sharp.

What? SKIP?

I'm thinking of joining.

You're leaving the university?

Teaching people is nice,

but spending time researching like this is what I enjoy most.

Oh shoot!

Hello?

I'm so sorry!

The traffic's really bad.

Sorry.

Start without me.

Yeah. See you!

You liar.

I forgot my wedding planning session.

Oh man, what should I do? I'll never make it in time.

- We're here for the cell samples. - Thank you for coming.

Here they are.

They've become stricter with handling cells, haven't they?

It's to prevent cell samples from getting out.

Once collection is complete, not even we can get near the kaiju without permission.

Apparently kaiju cells are being traded, so this has to be done.

I heard about the cells being traded, too.

Someone took them from HQ… according to rumors.

Now that security's been ramped up, that's no longer possible.

Even if it was an inside job, the culprit's probably given up.

Honestly, can you believe what some people will do?

The culprit's probably given up.

The traffic's really bad.

Liar.

- Yeah. - Oh, Rin!

We're heading over to Mari's.

Oh, sorry. I've got a thing.

The university again?

See you tomorrow.

- See you. - Bye-bye.

She doesn't get tired of it.

Rin's a weird one, isn't she?

Applied Theory of Mechanical Engineering…

Applied Theory of Mechanical Engineering…

Found it.

Oh…

Hm?

Oh.

This?

Yes.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Do you teach kaijuology?

Yep.

But…

Oh.

SKIP came to me saying they want to

build a robot to investigate kaiju in dangerous places.

So I'm studying.

And you?

Are you going into robotics?

I haven't decided yet.

I like mechanical engineering and programming, but…

People say I'm weird.

Weird? I think it's a good thing.

Pursuing what you love is the best.

Keep it up.

What?

Good job, Rin.

Let me know if you ever drop by HQ. I'll buy you—

The Intelligence Bureau suspects you.

I…

You inspired me to join SKIP.

It's thanks to you that I'm here right now.

That's why…

I want to do what I can for you.

I want to help you.

You're serious?

The Hoshimoto Branch has cells too, right?

Is it safe? Nobody saw you, right?

Stop right there.

Satoru Yamagami, please come with us to GDF HQ.

What a surprise.

You really have grown up, Rin.

You're such a good liar.

I wasn't lying.

I want to do what I can for you…

if you're willing to atone for your crimes.

What's that?

Wasn't it dead?

It waited in suspended animation for the danger to pass?!

It woke up after the analysis unit left?!

A golden rainbow?

It's Pagos!

Its Molecular Structure Destructive Beam creates

a golden, rainbow-like light when used underground.

So Neronga surfaced to escape Pagos?

Mr. Yamagami?!

- Let's split up and find him! - Right!

- Rin! - YouPi! Yuma!

We need to evacuate the residents.

- Roger! - Roger!

This way! Take your time!

Stay calm. This way.

Mr. Yamagami!

No one understands!

Everyone's focused on destroying the kaiju!

Look at that power!

Why aren't we trying to use it?! I'll do it if no one else will.

I needed funding for research!

But this disaster is happening right now!

That's right! Right now!

Nobody sees anything except what's happening right now!

How can they sacrifice the future?!

We should be willing to pay a small price now…

for the future our children will live in!

I wish you'd come to me.

I may not seem dependable…

but I believed that I understood you.

I…

I loved…

I loved the time we shared together.

I don't remember…

It was so long ago.

Goodbye…

my young self.

Rin!

I…

I uh…

I love you, Rin!

That's why… That's why I…

I want you to be happy!

Thank you, YouPi.

Sure! YouPi's on the job!

Let's go home.

Yeah!

- I'm starving! - Me, too!

- What should I eat? - Hmm…

- You need to recharge, too. - That's right!

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

My old classmate Kazuo has met a friend on a distant star through his radio.

But static rips through his happy times, and a space kaiju descends to Earth.

Turn off the radio, Kazuo! The kaiju is being drawn to the signal!

Next time on Ultraman Arc,

"To My Distant Friend"

Time to run, Yuma!
