Ultraman

Featuring Electricity-Absorbing Monster Eledortus.

Eledortus is back.

Just what is the dark shadow this young boy calls "Eledortus"?

What? Again?

Want me to contact the power company?

Don't bother. It's not just tonight. It's been like this for a while now.

Wow! 122 times!

It's a new record!

I'm a little off today.

Really? You're on a roll!

But nobody in our school can do that much, right?

Yeah!

Hey, Jiro-kun, you shouldn't loiter.

Oh, Go-san. This is perfect.

Help me with my homework when I get home. Please!

No way. You have to do it by yourself. I'll be going ahead.

Aww. Cheapskate.

Oh man. I've got four whole pages of math to do.

You in fourth grade?

Yeah.

Wanna borrow my notebook?

Really?

Just copy this. But you've got to come to my house at 3:00 to return it.

Thanks! It's a promise!

But, where do you live? I don't know.

Over there.

Whoa! You're rich!

Bye.

Wow! He's done it all!

Oh! A monster!

Oh wow!

It's your first vacation in a while.

Ken's been anticipating your coming, Go-san.

Hey. Don't push it on me. You're the one who's been waiting, Aki.

Hmph! You tease.

Jiro, what are you doing?

Leave me alone. It's homework.

Is copying someone's notebook homework?

Jim, is that what you're doing?

But I've got four pages of math!

No matter how many pages, the point is to do it yourself.

Nobody in our family cheats. AWW.

Your brother's right, Jiro-kun.

Honestly.

Huh, this is a well-written notebook.

GRADE 5 CLASS A SUSUMU KATO

Who's Susumu Kato?

He lives in that big house on the hill.

Oh. Then this boy's father is the older brother of the captain of MAT.

Huh? Captain Kato's?

Yeah. The railroad company president?

Yeah, that's right.

Oh. That explains why he's smart.

Jiro, how can you say that? Return that notebook at once.

-Oh wow! -Hey, hey.

Hello.

Yes?

I'm Go from MAT.

Oh, welcome. You're Go-san? I hear talk about you all the time.

Oh, I do nothing but screw up.

Kato was happy that a new capable member joined.

Can I help you?

Right. We came to return Susumu-kun's notebook.

This is my friend's brother.

Jiro-kun, return it.

Thank you very much.

Oh, his math notebook.

That's strange. He said he lost it.

No. I borrowed it.

Oh, is that so?

If you'll excuse us.

Bye. Tell him thank you.

Yes. I will. Goodbye. Excuse us.

KATO

Hey there.

Susumu-kun!

You shouldn't have. You promised to come at 3:00.

Sorry.

It's my fault he's early. Sorry.

He's from MAT, isn't he?

That's right. I work with your uncle.

My uncle's the captain. He's his superior.

Isn't that right?

Huh? Yeah, that's right.

My uncle mentioned it, but something terrible might happen.

He said there's a secret behind the blackouts.

Huh? Really?

Huh? You're MAT and you don't know?

Bye.

Captain Kato was hiding something from the MAT members.

That was a huge shock to Go.

Captain.

Hm?

Are you keeping something secret from us?

What do you mean?

It's about the blackouts. I heard from your nephew.

It's not like you to tell a child an important secret we don't even know about.

Don't be stupid. Sure I'm concerned about the blackouts.

But I'd never tell a child about that.

But, Susumu-kun said he heard it from you.

Go, don't you believe me?

Then, did Susumu-kun lie?

Hey. Susumu isn't one to tell lies. Don't say things like that.

What's with you today? Is your head still on vacation?

You're Susumu-kun.

That's right.

There's no mistake?

You're pretty distrustful.

Help me!

Hey! Hold on!

What happened?!

I came home from school and a black thing jumped me!

I don't know what happened after that!

Where do you live?

Here.

Here? You're not Susumu-kun, are you?

How do you know my name?

Huh?! Dammit! That liar!

Go-san, do you hear that?

Yeah.I do!.

Excuse me.

Yes?

Oh!

Ah, I was just preparing lunch.

Can I help you?

Yes. I wanted to ask you about your son.

Oh, he's not my son. He's my grandson.

Shiro.

Have you been lying again?

I wasn't lying! There are tons of people who lie more than me!

Shiro! Stop! Hey!

He never listens.

Maybe I spoiled him too much.

Does he really lie a lot?

Now that I think about it, he's had it rough.

He used to be a bright, honest kid.

Shiro's father was a train operator.

Shiro's mother died when he was young, and every day

he'd watch the trains his father would operate.

Dad!

But one year ago,

Shiro's father had an accident where Shiro always went to see him.

He was crippled in the accident as well, and ever since then he lies all the time.

Sir, was the president of the railway a man named Kato?

Huh. So he went to play tricks at Kato-san's place again?

I'm sorry.

Roar! Grr! Roar! Destroy Tokyo Tower!

Next is Kasumigaseki Building!

Roar! Bang! Grr! Bang!

Boom, boom! Roar!

Bang!

You'll regret it!

Tonight a monster's gonna appear and ruin the trains!

It's gonna destroy the railway!

Now I remember. MAT investigated that accident.

But, it ended without finding even a footprint of a monster the boy said he saw.
