Huh?!

- What?! - Huh?!

Givas, the mysterious mechanical colossus, suddenly appeared.

At the time, its objective was a complete mystery…

- I am here to be your Givas. - The word "Givas "means…

"Enemy"?

Givas was searching Hoshimoto City for something.

Mr. Numata!

Planet Meguma?

It's where Givas was created.

I hear the technology of the Alien Meguma is very advanced.

I thought these may be useful.

Thank you for bringing these!

- This should decipher the remaining parts. - Yeah!

Planet Meguma is heading toward ruin.

The Giving Moon is gone.

We require a new moon.

"A new moon "…

"A second Mujari "…

I believe that it was an important energy source to the Alien Meguma.

Reexamination of its relation to the Onyx is necessary.

- This is… - Ultraman Arc…

If that power was used against humanity…

An unknown being that we should be wary of.

Are… you… enemy?

I'm not here to fight you!

That second meaning of "Givas "is "friend!"

I am here to be your friend!

Givas…

I am…

your Givas!

Givas!

Givas.

Look.

That's the moon of this planet.

Your real journey…

begins now.

Thank to Yuma, Givas has left Earth.

But many unanswered questions remain about its actions.

Good morning…

Mr. Ishido?

Have you been working all night?

Yes. I have a report that I need to send in soon.

Come on YouPi, wake up.

Good morning.

- No! - What?

- That's impossible! - Huh?!

Huh? Are we out of coffee?

I asked Yuma to go out and get more.

Coffee… I need coffee…

You're exaggerating.

Shu's personality really changes when it comes to coffee.

Remember when prices were up and we had our conservation campaign?

Preposterous!

Ah, I remember that.

Shu even decided to cut back on coffee.

That was truly a difficult decision.

You can use it like cash, so it's really useful.

Users can stream videos on the app, and there's a system

where viewers can "tip" the streamers HoshiPay.

If a stream gets popular, you get more viewers,

and eventually you can earn enough…

Yeah, and you recruited Yuma to help you live stream and earn HoshiPay,

a local digital currency.

To the left! The left! Yeah!

Too far! Go back! Right there!

I'm starving! I'm starving! I'm starving!

That was back when the AI Kanegon went out of control.

Yeah. I really helped out, didn't I?

YouPi's on the job!

Thanks to Arc, everything worked out,

but Hoshimoto City's economy could have collapsed. That was scary.

That's right.

Come to think of it, Shu had nothing on his mind besides how to increase views.

Yeah, and he even mentioned wanting to collaborate with Kanegon.

I wasn't thinking straight.

Let's not bring that up again.

So you're not streaming anymore?

Of course not.

I learned that everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.

Mr. Ishido?

This fragrance…

Good morning.

You're all early.

This is…

the fabled kopi luwak!

Very good. You know your stuff.

What's that kopi something or other?

You've never heard of it?!

It's an extremely rare coffee extracted from Asian palm civet feces!

It's a work of art born from humanity's insatiable spirit of inquiry into coffee!

- Oh… Oh really? I didn't know. - Wow…

Chief, where did you get this?!

Ah…

Professor Makino sent it to me.

By Professor Makino, you mean…

Right.

The paleontologist Shinya Makino, also known as the "Dinosaur Professor."

You're…

It's been a while, Professor Makino.

Ban…

He's an old friend of yours, right, Chief?

That's right.

You ran into him

when we investigated the kaiju fossil and the lake that suddenly formed.

You're right.

Looking back, that was quite an incident.

I'm at the highest area of salt concentration.

This is…

It's where the tunnel was.

You-bot, get closer.

I suddenly felt light. The water here seems different.

The salt concentration is…

Huh?! 35 percent?!

It's here! It's here! A kaiju!

Livyjira suddenly appeared.

And then Arc showed up, too.

Arc shows up everywhere, doesn't he?

Now that you mention it…

After that incident, I kept in contact with Professor Makino.

This aroma unlike any normal coffee…

How magnificent.

So why did the professor send that?

Well… he asked for a favor.

A favor?

Professor Makino is going to publish a book about kaiju soon.

He asked me to check to make sure there aren't any errors.

So he wants you to proofread it.

And in gratitude, he sent you this rare coffee.

Pretty much.

And I hate to ask, but could you guys help me?

There's so much to go over.

- Sure thing. - Yeah.

We owe Professor Makino.

Thank you.

Mr. Ishido, will you help out in exchange for some coffee beans?

Of course.

That leaves…

Huh?

Where's Yuma?

- He's off today. - Yeah.

That's right!

I was counting on his knowledge of kaiju biology the most.

There's no use complaining.

Let's split up the work.

You're right.

Okay!

Let's do it!

That's written correctly. Yup!

Noiseler, huh?

That thing showed up during…

the incident involving Yuma's old classmate.

That's right.

It flew here from space, following a mysterious signal.

Yuma's old classmate… Kazuo was it?

He'd been receiving messages from space.

According to reports, they were from a woman named Fio.

I wanted to talk to someone before it was all over.

So I sent a signal out into space.

But Fio's planet was already…

I guess it's over now.

I wonder how Yuma felt listening to that.

Fio's planet was likely light-years away.

It doesn't make sense that they could communicate in real time.

Ah, about that…

Huh?

Sorry. It's nothing.

Oh! It's Nezutron!

I'm the one who named it!

Hurry!

Take this!

Oh no!

That whole thing was such an ordeal!

And apparently people think it's my fault that Nezutron grew gigantic.

But it really was your fault…

What was that?

Oh, nothing!

Nezutron was really strong. Even Arc struggled against it.

Oh yeah, and that was the first time Arc donned armor, wasn't it?

Yeah. Apparently it was.

And I got to see it in person!

It was so exciting!

That was some really heavyweight armor. It reflected Nezutron's attacks.

He used that armor when fighting Pagos and Neronga, too.

That's right.

He was able to withstand the attacks of two kaiju.

He really was amazing.

That sun-like armor is so cool.

- I know. - Yeah!

- Especially when you see it up close. - Right!

Speaking of armor…

- Yeah? - Hello, everybody!

Huh?

Huh? What's wrong? Don't you have today off?

Oh, that I am, but…

- This here… - What?

What's that?

I went out with my grandma today.

She bought a ton of sweet bean paste pancakes.

I can't eat them all, so I thought I'd share.

- Oh! - Wonderful.

Let's have them with coffee.

Please do.

I don't want them to go to waste.

So what were you all talking about?

- Oh, we were talking about Arc's armor. - Yeah.

Really?

Getting back on topic, isn't that other armor amazing, too?

Yeah!

If I remember correctly… Arc donned it when Homger appeared.

Homger was that mother kaiju, right?

Yeah.

It was a kaiju that blows itself up and transmits the energy to its offspring,

thereby passing down life.

It was about to explode giving birth. Hoshimoto City was in deep trouble.

That's when Arc's new armor made its debut.

It seems to be more speed-focused.

That could be so.

He was zooming all around!

Yes. It allowed him to keep the damage from Homger's explosion to a minimum.

Yeah!

And as a result, Arc managed to save a newborn life.

Arc is so noble.

But looking back on things, just what is Arc's deal?

What?

Yeah.

- We don't know what he is. - That's right.

I doubt he's a robot or something.

We've come to think of him as just a natural part of our lives,

but we don't know why he protects us, or rather, why he protects humanity.

What could it be?

What do you all think?

About Arc.

Meaning?

The Global Defense Force hasn't reached a conclusion on Arc either.

In fact, most at the GDF regard him as an unknown being

that we should be wary of.

Really?

I was wondering what you all at SKIP think.

Our opinion?

Hmm…

It's true that there's a lot we don't know about Arc.

If that power was used against humanity…

I doubt he'd do that… but it is scary.

- I'll put these on a plate. - Could he be an enemy?

- Huh? - What?

Yuma!

Time to run, Yuma!

Run!

Go!

Grandma!

Yuma.

Who are you?

Yuma.

You and I are one and the same.

Your thoughts are my power…

These are…

Unleash your imagination.

Arc told me to unleash my imagination.

Then he took on the same forms as those in the pictures I drew as a child.

Unleash your imagination!

Since then, I've fought desperately.

But I…

I don't know everything about Arc, do I?

We should thank him someday.

Ultraman Arc.

Ultra…?

Constantly calling him the mysterious giant is rude.

What a beautiful arc.

That's right.

Ultraman Arc… Mr. Ishido came up with that name.

Imagination, huh?

But I think Arc is on our side.

Without Arc, Hoshimoto City probably would've been in worse shape.

And personally, he's saved me multiple times.

Yeah! I feel the same way!

I love Arc!

- Yeah. - Uh-huh!

Mr. Ishido.

- Here's our opinion. - Yeah!

Ultraman Arc…

is an ally of SKIP.

Yeah!

That's acceptable.

At least, as far as we understand.

I feel the same way!

So why were you talking about Arc?

Huh? Why were we?

Hmm…

Professor Makino's proofreading!

Give us a hand, Yuma!

Okay!

This is Ishido.

Yes.

There's no problem.

My report is coming along smoothly.

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

Arc suddenly appears before me

as I head to investigate another incident at the Monohorn.

And there's a mysterious pursuer.

A threat approaching Earth is revealed along with a truth from 16 years ago.

Next time on Ultraman Arc,

"Flash of the Past"

Time to run, Yuma!
