Ultraman Orb (ウルトラマンオーブ)

What were you going to do with that Hyper Zetton?

Killing you would earn me a rep.

That's why I used that woman as bait.

You seem to really care about her.

I was watching you all along.

Don't mistake courage for recklessness!

You can't expose the truth if you're dead, after all.

What's so special about her, anyway?

The Girl with the Blue Ribbon

This monster... It really is...

It looks exactly like the monster that went wild that time you were kidnapped, Cap.

It appears with no warning, and then suddenly disappears.

For the last month, there have been reports of it showing up all over the internet.

And who's this girl?

She's been dubbed "The Girl with the Blue Ribbon."

Whenever this monster appears, she's always around.

And not just that.

Huh? What happened to the girl standing there?

When the monster vanishes, she vanishes.

A phantom girl.

Maybe she worked with the alien who kidnapped me?

If he had an ally, I doubt he would've fought alone back then.

So just who is she?

We're going to find out.

Hopefully, we can at least find out what she wants.

If I use the appearance and disappearances of the girl and the monster to speculate,

I should be able to narrow their range of activity.

All right! Gai-san, come with us and—

Again?!

Seriously...

After investigating,

it seems that the older couple who lives here

have been seen drinking tea with an unidentified girl.

But is this girl "The Girl with the Blue Ribbon"?!

The truth will be...

Is that The Girl with the Blue Ribbon?!

Sorry we couldn't be of any help.

Huh?

Sorry for asking so suddenly.

Drop in any time you like.

Thank you.

W-Wait, Gai-san, what are you doing?

Oh, we became friends over tea just now.

Over tea?

Became friends?

Yes.

Shin-san!

We're actually looking for this girl.

Iwaki

She has a blue...

Wasn't that alien after you, Gai-san?

If you understand, then you need to back off.

Sorry, I don't know her.

Maybe you've got the wrong location?

Hey!

Hey...

Shibukawa-san, why do you look so panicked?

Evacuate, now! Everybody evacuate!

Just look at that!

There it is!

Hey, wait! Gai-kun!

The girl we're looking for should be nearby!

Something Search People, charge!

Roger!

You guys! Wait!

You need to evacuate! Hurry!

There she is!

Is she controlling the monster?

Huh? Gai-san?

Just who are you?

Kurenai Gai...

This time, you will die!

Why's she fighting him?

Cap, look!

All members, retreat!

What's wrong?

Why hesitate when facing a little girl?

You're as naïve as my investigation led me to think.

I'll take care of you now!

Cap!

Cap!

I'm sorry, guys...

Get up, please!

Where could she have gone?

Maya-chan!

Maya? Maya!

Maya-chan? Maya-chan!

Grandpa...

Grandma.

It... It happened again.

It's all right! Don't you worry!

We're with you, okay?

That's right.

The Iwakis used to travel the world,

and lived together with no kids.

We actually think the girl and the monster

might be connected, so we're keeping an eye on her.

There's no telling when it might attack again.

That's why you were watching her.

Cap, take a look at this.

I've been analyzing the pattern of the bracelet's lights and the monster's sounds.

The wavelengths are nearly identical!

That's our Shin! Nice one, man!

But why would that couple be protecting her?

They might have been threatened or placed under mind control.

Iwaki

So strange!

Hello, there!

You're good at this.

Thanks.

Your hair is so beautiful.

Maya-chan!

I spruced up some of my old clothes.

Oh, it looks so cute on you!

Don't you agree?

It does. It really suits you.

I know!

Why don't you wear that,

and we'll all go out together?

Go out? Really?

It'd be nice if we could just live together like this.

That girl wants to see the outside world.

She won't be with us forever.

But...

Excuse me!

Let's eat it together.

Okay!

Thank you.

Do you remember me?

No... I can't.

I don't have any memories of before I came here.

Before Grandpa and Grandma asked if I wanted to live here...

It's like I was empty.

But they taught me a lot.

So I'm not empty anymore.

But sometimes...

I feel like I stop being myself.

I see nothing but darkness...
