ウルトラマンティガ
Ultraman Tiga is the 11th Ultraman series. The series features the first Ultraman who is not almost entirely red in color, as well as one who can change colors and modes.
Catchphrase:
- Ultraman evolves again! The Super Multi Warrior who can transform into 3 types according to his enemy's characteristics!
- ウルトラマンはさらに進化！敵の特徴に合わせて3タイプに変身する超マルチ戦士！
Plot
At the dawn of the 21st century, the Terrestrial Peaceable Consortium (TPC), an international organization set to upkeep peace on Earth, retrieve a time capsule from a meteoroid, which reveals a holographic message from an ancient civilization that was destroyed by the very dangers it warns about. Only a giant named Tiga can save Earth from the foretold disasters.
As the message correctly predicted, two monsters, Golza and Melba would appear, which they did. The TPC set off to investigate a location known as the Pyramid of Tiga in order to awaken the giant, the one and only one that can save the planet.
