Ultraman Synopsis

Several years have passed since the events of Ultraman, with the legendary “Giant of Light” (光の巨人 Hikari no Kyojin) now a memory, as it is believed he returned home after fighting the many giant aliens that invaded the Earth. Shin Hayata’s son Shinjiro seems to possess a strange ability, and it is this ability, along with his father’s revelation that he was Ultraman, that leads Shinjiro to battle the new aliens invading the Earth as the new Ultraman.

The cool thing here is that we don’t have the goofy rubber suits and instead we get armor. It even makes sense why Ultraman does his iconic pose when he uses his ultra beam to finish off his enemies.

Apparently in this version, there’s a locking mechanism that unleashes this energy. His forearms need to have a specific position to be able to unlock that.

Ultraman is set to premiere April 1 2019
