Chapter 262 The Death of Inamori as the Spark
The SUV sped along the highway leading to Chichibuyama city.
Wei Weike jerked the steering wheel and slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a stop on the side of the road.
He glanced at the thick smoke rising from the distant mountains and forests, then turned to Takaga Yume in the passenger seat and said, "I remember there's a small town ahead. Go and help the residents there take refuge."
Gao Womeng immediately pushed open the door and got out of the car.
However, instead of following orders to go to the town, he used the communication radar he carried with him to track the signal and found Dr. Inamori, who was operating a remote control terminal, on a higher hillside.
"They should stop now!"
I rushed forward, shouting at Dr. Inamori's retreating figure, "Let the monster's anger subside!"
Dr. Inamori's fingers stopped on the keyboard; without turning around, she said, "I can't do that."
"You felt sad about the death of that little mouse, Lily, didn't you?" Takaga clenched her fists tightly, trying to rouse the last vestiges of her sanity. "Why do you have to do this to humans now!"
"Human beings have a very advanced civilization."
Dr. Inamori's voice carried a stubborn resolve: "If this continues, excessive development may harm this planet."
"Even so, there's no need to let monsters attack humans in order to change their perceptions!"
Gaowo Meng quickly walked to her side.
"There isn't that much time left."
Dr. Inamori turned around, his once gentle eyes now filled with madness. "There's really not that much time left to slowly change humanity's mindset! Only this method, only by presenting the cruel reality to humanity, can we succeed!"
With eyes full of heartache, Higher God said, "This can't be! This is completely wrong! Humanity will change, why won't you believe that?"
Dr. Inamori smiled bitterly: "Because I met someone. A person who bears the fate of the Earth... the blue giant."
Koga's pupils constricted sharply: "So you already knew... it was that blue giant."
"Do you think that by dirtying your hands and changing people's perceptions, you can change the current state of Fujimiya?"
Goga asked loudly, "Just like humans nowadays, they aren't so simple that they can change just like that!"
Good heavens, Dr. Inamori is trying to take the blame for Fujimiya's sins!
She wanted to play the villain herself, to show Fujimiya that this method of controlling monsters didn't actually work.
[That's incredibly foolish! To push yourself to this level just to prove an idea.]
But the price she paid was too high; she was gambling with the lives of the entire city.
Dr. Inamori ignored Takaga Yume. She turned around abruptly and began frantically tapping her fingers on the control panel.
"Everyone! Attack!" she commanded over the communication channel. "Input command: 0902 G300, execute immediately!"
The monster in the distance began to move in a fixed direction.
"No one can stop me!"
Dr. Inamori had completely lost his mind. "Input command: 44C 57100, execute! Ignore them, proceed towards the city!"
On the distant battlefield, the subterranean monster Grimenos, which had been rampaging through the mountains and forests, suddenly froze.
The forced radio waves emitted by the Passell system are being transmitted frantically towards its brain.
"V74102!" Dr. Inamori continued to input forced commands.
But this time, the anger of this native Earth creature completely erupted.
"roar--!"
Grimenos let out a deafening roar. Its ferocious eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and its massive claws slammed down towards its head.
They forcefully ripped off the Passel device that controlled it and slammed it heavily to the ground!
"How could this happen..." Dr. Inamori stared at the signal that had vanished from the screen in an instant, taking a step back in disbelief.
Out of control, Grimenos did not continue to carry out the order to attack the city.
Its gaze was fixed on the tiny figure on the hillside—the human who was trying to manipulate its will!
"Do as I say!" Dr. Inamori yelled at the monster, "You're going to be controlled by humans anyway!"
Grimenos opened its blood-red maw, and a violent, high-temperature fireball erupted, heading straight for the hillside where Dr. Inamori was located.
"Doctor!" Goga shouted hoarsely.
"Run!"
boom--!
The violent explosion instantly engulfed the hillside.
Flames shot into the sky, and rubble flew everywhere.
As the smoke and dust cleared, Gao Womeng knelt at the edge of the ruins, his eyes bloodshot.
Anger, an unprecedented anger, burned like a raging fire in his chest.
A blinding red light burst forth from the sapphire cone.
"Gaia—!"
With a deafening roar, the earth trembled violently. Ultraman Gaia's massive red and silver body slammed heavily in front of Grimenos, kicking up a cloud of dust.
This transformation was devoid of his former composure, replaced only by boundless rage.
Gaia charged towards Grimenos, not using any beam attacks, but instead engaging in primal hand-to-hand combat.
With a powerful twist of his arms, he gripped Grimenos's thick tail tightly, then spun it around violently, slamming the enormous beast onto the barren ground hundreds of meters away. The earth trembled.
This is absolutely the angrier transformation I've ever had in my dreams!
The feeling of helplessness—watching someone die right before your eyes—is unbearable.
[Every punch landed squarely! Gaia was venting her pent-up frustration.]
But the previous travel had pushed Meng's physical strength to its limit.
After a brief burst of power, Gaia's movements began to slow down.
Grimenos quickly rolled over and got up.
This monster not only displayed astonishing brute strength, but even revealed a very human-like, sinister smile on its face.
It opened its huge mouth, and two blazing pillars of fire burst from the ground, directly knocking Gaia to the ground.
The color timer on my chest started flashing rapidly.
Gaia knelt on the ground, panting painfully.
At this critical moment, the roar of fighter jets echoed in the sky. XIG Cool Dragons' fighter jets whizzed past.
"There's a gap behind the monster!"
Captain Daocheng slammed the control stick, and the fighter jet drew a sharp arc in the air, circling behind Gemenos.
"emission!"
Several armor-piercing shells accurately hit the weak points on Grimenos's back.
Sparks flew as the monster let out a painful howl and froze instantly.
"Now!"
Gaia, enduring excruciating pain, leaped to his feet. He gathered a dazzling red light in his hands above his head and leaned forward.
"Photon Ice Blade!"
The red energy beam, like a sharp blade that cuts through everything, instantly sliced through Grimenos's body.
With a deafening explosion, the raging subterranean behemoth was completely reduced to fragments.
The battle is over.
The setting sun, like blood, dyed the devastated battlefield crimson.
Gao Gomu stumbled and ran back to the ruins of the high ground.
However, the sight before him made him stop in his tracks.
Amidst the rubble, the man in black who had been hiding in the shadows, Fujimiya Hiroya, was kneeling on the ground.
He held the dying Dr. Inamori tightly in his arms.
Dr. Inamori's face was covered in dust and blood, but as she looked at Fujimiya, a weak smile appeared on her lips.
She reached out her trembling hand, wanting to touch Fujimiya's face.
"I want to... look at your smile a little longer..."
As soon as he finished speaking, his hand fell limply to his side.
Fujimiya's body trembled violently.
He didn't speak, but his eyes, shrouded in gloom, revealed endless sorrow.
I dreamt I was standing not far away, my fists clenched tightly.
Wei Weike walked over.
"That guy didn't take the data with him..."
I dreamt I replied, "Because he knew it was useless; controlling monsters wouldn't save the game, so Fujimiya..."
Wei Weike interrupted my dream. "The Doctor died because of this guy... Now that things have come to this, do you still want to persuade him, my dream?"
I was stunned. He recalled what Dr. Inamori had just said:
"Just like humans today, he is not so simple that he can change just like that."
The camera slowly zooms out, freezing on Fujimiya's lonely and desperate back as he holds Dr. Inamori.
Immediately afterwards, the screen went dark.
……
Discussions about this episode exploded across major social media platforms and tokusatsu (special effects) forums.
Gu Nan's presentation of this chaotic situation, devoid of absolute right or wrong, left all viewers deep in thought.
On Baidu Tieba, a post titled "In-depth analysis of episode 23: Justice that has entered a dead end and an irreversible tragedy" was quickly pinned to the top. The poster was a well-known analyst on the forum, "Midnight Writer Dog".
"I just finished watching this episode, and I feel really choked up. Gu Nan has pushed the conflict to its extreme this time. In this story, there are no absolute villains in the traditional sense, but each side is creating tragedy."
Let's take a look at Dr. Inamori first. Many people in the comments are calling her crazy, a demon who wants to massacre the city.
But if you think about it more deeply, what she initially submitted was a mild improvement plan, forced into a corner by the arrogance and shortsightedness of the higher-ups. Her choice to use monsters to attack the city was certainly wrong, terribly wrong. But her deeper motive was actually for Fujimiya.
She knew that Fujimiya wanted to awaken humanity, and she didn't want Fujimiya to bear the burden of bloody sins alone, so she stepped forward to be the one to carry the knife.
In fact, she was using her death to teach Fujimiya a final lesson—trying to achieve her goals by controlling monsters, a self-righteous method, will not only be resisted by humans, but also by monsters; this trick simply won't work!
Dr. Inamori was a pitiful martyr; she was consumed by her own extreme obsession.
The replies in the comments section were refreshed rapidly, and the discussion atmosphere was exceptionally lively.
[What did the monster Grimenos in this episode do to deserve this? It was peacefully living in the mountains when humans insisted on forcibly controlling it using the Passel System. Monsters have dignity too! Its act of pulling the controller and killing Dr. Inamori is a ruthless slap in the face from nature to humanity's attempt to control everything. Where there is oppression, there is resistance. Nature is not a toy that humans can manipulate at will.]
[The one who's really suffering is my dream! He's caught in the middle and on the verge of collapse. As the guardian of the earth, he has to protect humanity, so he has no choice but to destroy Grimenos. But he knows very well that this monster is also a victim; it was forced into existence by human selfishness. When Gaia fights the monster with such rage, it's not really fighting the monster; it's venting its powerlessness against this messed-up reality.]
This is the most contradictory point of this episode: the higher-ups ignored the environmental crisis to maintain the status quo; Dr. Inamori sacrificed innocent lives to awaken humanity; Fujimiya chose to stand idly by to protect the Earth; and Gamu was forced to kill a monster that shouldn't have died in order to protect humanity. Everyone was upholding their own sense of "justice," resulting in a tragedy where everyone lost.
[In truth, both Fujimiya and Dr. Inamori embody a common human flaw—arrogance. They always believe they can represent the Earth, make decisions on behalf of nature, and even use monsters to achieve their goals. This is arrogance in itself. Only after experiencing this bloody lesson will Fujimiya truly understand what it means to be out of control.]
Viewers shared their opinions in the comments section and online forums, discussing everything from ecological protection to human obsessions, from rules and systems to the boundaries of justice.
This lingering feeling and reflection after watching the film is precisely what makes "Ultraman Gaia" so captivating.
It presents the audience with the most real and complex contradictions, making everyone look forward to the next week's trial amidst the clash of ideas.
