Ultraman: This Belial only wants to make money.

Chapter 60. Ultraman Tiga's True Form

Ultraman Tiga

This is……

The brand-new proposal hadn't even been dusted, so it seemed I was the first person to see it. Moreover, the only signature on the proposal was the pseudonym that Boss Jin used on Earth.

Shotaro Ishinomori.

At this moment, Shizuma Mitsukuni felt an immense sense of responsibility, a weight pressing down on his shoulders.

Guangguo is just a nobody right now. Despite the attention of his older brother Quan Teng and the favor and praise of Boss Jin, he has no achievements to speak of. He has only completed half of the tasks assigned by Boss Jin.

He was somewhat incredulous, and perhaps because of his excitement, his voice trembled slightly.

"Boss, what's wrong...?"

"Guangguo—Do you believe in light?"

Beria's sneer echoed in Jin Yi's mind, but he paid no attention and continued speaking to his loyal subordinates.

"Guangguo, you are a person with extraordinary talent. Although your current position does not match your abilities, your eyesight is sharp enough to see many things that ordinary people cannot see."

"Gondo is a talented man with the demeanor of a great general, capable of expanding territory as a general, but his excessive obsession with certain things has caused him to lose sight of the big picture."

"But you are different... You possess rare leadership skills, and your achievements are no less than those of Director Sawai. Therefore, there is no one more suitable for this task than you."

Jin Yi sighed softly.

"As you've probably noticed, following the Abbas Trial and the Halloween miracle, Toei Animation and Ultraman Tiga's popularity has temporarily reached a peak, but we're not stopping there—"

"The scenery here is beautiful, but we cannot linger here."

Shizuma Mitsukuni was not a slow learner; he had already vaguely guessed what Kim Yi meant.

"You mean...development and inheritance?!"

"That's right."

Jin Yi readily admitted it.

"Toei Animation Studios has only developed less than 1% of Tiga's story. We can't always focus on every appearance of Tiga. While this hero is resting, we should write stories about him."

Under Boss Jin's encouraging gaze, Guangguo solemnly turned to the first page, which contained some basic settings and background information about Tiga.

Shizuka Mitsukuni read the first line of text aloud in a low voice.

"Tiga is...the light within humanity?!"

Then he continued to flip through the pages.

Because it was a hastily produced project, and Boss Jin had very little free time, there wasn't much content on the script. However, these scattered pieces of content had their own logic, and from these trivial settings, Mitsukuni Shizuma glimpsed a grand and moving story.

The story is not complicated. In Boss Jin's setting, Tiga has no physical form. He is the light of will and hope that exists in the hearts of mankind and has been passed down from 3000 million years ago to the present.

In the 21st century, monster phenomena and alien attacks have become increasingly frequent on Earth. A meteor crashes into a forest, and two children discover ancient survivors aboard a spacecraft. Meanwhile, giant monsters appear in the city. Amidst the children's prayers, the light that has been passed down from the ancient past reappears—

Ultraman Tiga stands tall on the earth.

Out of respect for Daigo, Tiga in the new story does not have a human form, but is instead a personification of some beautiful concept.

Galactron is a combat weapon created by the ancient people to support Ultraman Tiga. When Tiga is in danger, Galactron, with its wings of light, will descend from the sky and fight alongside Ultraman Tiga.

"The light of a miracle from 3000 million years ago is awakened once again in this era, at the call of children..."

Shizuka Mitsukuni softly read the text on the last page of the proposal, only then did he suddenly wake up.

Could this be the true form of Ultraman Tiga?

Could it be that the boss... is using this method to hint at the truth about Ultraman Tiga?

He looked at Jin Yi with a probing gaze, but Jin Yi only returned a meaningful look and continued speaking.

"Light is the bond that has been passed down from the ancient past and is being rekindled in this era."

"Everyone on Earth is an inheritor of light."

"This is the essence of Ultraman Tiga."

Grand enough, moving enough, everyone can become a light...

Shizuma Mitsukuni was so excited that he could hardly contain himself. From what Jin Yi had told him, some things that had troubled him before suddenly became clear.

TPC has long held diverse opinions regarding Ultraman Tiga. Some firmly believe he is an alien visitor, while others think he is a weapon of war left over from ancient times, and still others claim he is an evolved human with superpowers. Each side holds its own story, and no one can convince the other.

Mitsukuni Shizuma was also misled by these claims. Although those who held these views provided quite convincing evidence, the truth about Ultraman Tiga remained shrouded in mystery.

Boss Jin's answer was—

Ultraman Tiga represents some beautiful things within us. There's no need to deliberately pursue its physical form; Ultraman Tiga exists in everyone's heart.

This answer may not be scientific or logical, but it is romantic and touching enough.

"Due to considerations of presentation, Ultraman Tiga is tentatively scheduled to be presented as an animation, with the theme song sung by Ms. Chris Maya. A live-action version will be released later."

Don't worry, the cost can be increased indefinitely. I only have one requirement—

"This is for children, but it can't be just for children. Ultraman Tiga is a hero for children, but adults can also gain courage and other wonderful things from it."

"We need a hero, Gwangguk, a hero is necessary."

Sensing Jin Yi's eagerly anticipating gaze, Guang Guo closed the Ultraman Tiga project proposal tightly. At this moment, his heart was filled with an endless sense of responsibility and honor, as if this was his innate duty.

Without saying a word, he nodded heavily, his meaning clear.

Then, he sat back down next to Secretary Gondo, turning the thin notebook over and over again, reading it again and again. He then fell into deep thought, only to suddenly snap out of it and turn the notebook over and over again, as if he wanted to devour the proposal in one bite.

They didn't leave Boss Kim's office until Gondo Yuuyu woke up.

--------

In the empty office, Boss Jin leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

While seemingly resting with his eyes closed, he had actually begun using Kiranbo's cards to search for alternate dimensions surrounding Earth.

The Time-Space Realm... This is the territory of the Golden Dragon Goldras, so let's leave it alone.

Rainbow Wonderland... Silver Dragon Hillbagon's amusement park. Jin Yi could even see a Gadi being preyed upon, emitting a pitiful wail. But now was not the time to pay a visit, so he turned the page as if he hadn't seen it.

Even Belial didn't notice that Jin Yi had quietly bypassed his long-cherished target.

Another dimension... the domain of the demon goddess Enermina has been locked.

A cold glint flashed in Jin Yi's eyes, and just as he was about to make a move, a knock sounded at the door.

"Mr. Jin, is there something you need?"

The real Ultraman Tiga, Daigo, had already arrived outside the door.

P.S. A small spoiler: the first episode aired during the Kirieloid attack, and the last episode was taken off the air due to the appearance of Gatanothor, but...
