RETURN OF ULTRAMAN

LEAVE THIS MONSTER TO ME

You can see it too The Star of Ultra

Far away Alone on Earth

Dedicating his life to defeating monsters

Any moment now He'll reach the burning town

With the echoing roar in his ear

He's returned He's returned

Ultraman

Featuring Plastic Monster Gokinezura.

What is this?

Trash. Trash.

Trash.

Trash. Trash.

Trash.

Trash.

Trash.

Huh?

Koto-ku Landfill Site No. 15, also known as Yumenoshima.

No one knew

that the drunk Sandwich-man went missing at this mammoth trash disposal facility.

And on the same day...

That was the day MA T's Captain Kato, on Ministry of Terrestrial Defense orders,

was transferred to the MAT Space Station.

What's wrong?

Hm?

Are they still following?

Captain! Captain!

Goodbye!

Take care!

Take care!

Captain!

Goodbye!

Everyone's sad about it.

What are you talking about, Go?

Now MAT can get even bigger.

My successor, Captain Ibuki, was my superior.

He's sharp and brave. He's a seasoned hero.

If HQ's sending someone like that, it's proof they hold MAT in high regards.

Yes, sir!

However, I'm a little worried that the new captain is five hours late.

Yeah. There was an incident at a New York trash facility and they had to move out.

A trash facility?

The entire New York MAT team headed out, so it must have been a big case.

It's only a few hours without a captain.

Try to avoid any accidents until Captain Ibuki arrives.

You've got it, sir.

Okay, let's go!

And 50, Captain Kato departed.

Meanwhile, awaiting their new captain's arrival at MAT...

They fired two MS Missiles into a trash facility? It doesn't make sense.

What happened over in New York?

There's something even stranger.

The windshield of our new captain, Captain Ibuki's fighter melted in the sky.

The windshield is made from an acrylic plastic. Plastic doesn't melt that easily.

Well, until our new captain arrives and we ask for details, we won't know.

Where's the captain's plane flying now?

It's five hours away from Japan, so probably passing over Hawaii by now.

Hmm.

Jiro!

Jiro!

Honestly. He just tossed his backpack and went off to play.

Jiro! Jiro!

Aki-chan!

Oh, Go-san!

I saw Captain Kato off on his transfer.

Oh, he left today?

What are you doing here?

I'm looking for Jiro. Apparently he was around here just now.

Boo!

Jiro! What are you doing here?!

Run!

Jiro!

Jiro!

Oh. Go-san, will you catch him?

-Come on. -Bleah!

Over there!

Bleah! Come on!

Bleah!

Bleah! Bleah!

Oh! Ow! Ouch! Ouch! I can't get up!

I can't get up! Help!

-Come on. -Oh! Help! Quickly!

Is this MAT HQ? I just caught two poly-bucket monsters.

They're mischievous little monsters and quite a handful.

-Help! -Oh honestly.

-Heave ho! -Heave ho!

Man, that was fun! We were hiding, but Sis couldn't tell.

You were playing with trash cans like this? How filthy.

Jiro-kun, how did you make these holes?

They were there from the beginning. Right?

Yeah. If you do this, they break easily.

These poly-buckets are rotten.

A poly-bucket can't rot.

Yeah.

It really looks like they're rotten.

Jiro-kun, where did you find these?

We found them at the landfill.

The landfill?

Jiro-kun, could you take me there?

Sure! No problem!

This landfill is 470,00 square meters.

You can fit 14 baseball stadiums in it.

Huh. It's pretty big.

Over the past decade, the population of Tokyo's 23 wards has increased 1.4 times.

The trash is 2.5 times what it was.

I guess everyone's gotten extravagant.

Either that, or they're buying useless things.

Every day 6,700 tons of trash gets brought here.

6,700 whole tons?

Yeah.

That's about half the daily trash of the nine million citizens of Tokyo's 23 wards.

Go-san, right here.

How do you dispose of plastic products?

There's no how or why. That stuff is impossible.

As you know, we can't burn or destroy them.

A furnace is no good?

No, a furnace would get messed up first.

You know, there are some pretty interesting people out there.

Who knows what they use it for, but some folks steal this stuff. And lots of it.

Just plastic?

Yeah. Recently, there's been a massive depletion of it.
