This book starts in 1966 and then fast forwards through to 2020. Ultraman was originally Japanese, but was remade for Western audiences in English, and became very popular here.
This book shows some of the 1966 story and then brings it to the 2020. They first show some of the old 1966 opening and give you a little of the back story of the Ultraman story. Then the story fast forwards to the year 2020 in modern Japan.
The book shows Shin Hyatt meet Ultraman and bond with him. Ultraman shows Shin what happened in 1966 and the first human that joined with the Ultraman. It showed how they fought off the monsters, and how Ultraman’s partner had died.
I like seeing Shin learn how to change into Ultraman. Just like the old comics, TV Shows and video game, Ultraman can only stay in giant form for 3 to 5 minutes because of the pollution in the air.
I also loved how in the back of the book they show some old photos of Ultraman fighting the monsters on the stage. It was a blast from my past to see those photos, and was a nice bonus in addition to the story.
