ウルトラマンガイア
Ultraman Gaia is the 13th Ultraman series. The series takes place in an alternate universe from other Ultraman series.
Catchphrase:
- An ally of justice? An envoy of the devil?
- (正義の味方か、悪魔の使者か。)
Plot
The Alchemy Stars, a group of young geniuses, develop the CRISIS, a prophetic supercomputer, which predicts that the world will be destroyed by an entity which brings radical destruction (根源的破滅招来体). To protect the Earth, the Geocentric Universal Alliance against the Radical Destruction (G.U.A.R.D.) is set up, together with its combat wing, the eXpanded Interceptive Guardians (XIG).
True enough to the prophecy, a strange phenomenon appears in the skies in Tokyo, which later turns out to be a gigantic monster, destroying a large area of the city. Despite the efforts of XIG, even the extremely technologically advanced fighter jets are overpowered by the monster.
Takayama Gamu, a member of the Alchemy Stars, while drowned in disappointment that all their research put into the technologies were in vain, suddenly finds himself sucked into a dimension where he sees a giant which he calls "Ultraman". After begging for help to save the Earth, Gamu finds himself merged and transformed into the giant, Ultraman Gaia.
