Chapter 41 A Tribute to the Legendary Model Worker Golza
Chapter 41 A Tribute to the Legendary Model Worker Golza
A week passed quickly.
Friday, 8 PM.
Episode 18 of "Ultraman Tiga", titled "Golza's Counterattack", was released on Bilibili on time.
After the previous episodes, Ultraman Tiga has become the only solace for countless working people and students on Friday nights.
With millions of pre-registrations, the live stream was flooded with comments so thick that the screen was almost completely obscured the view the moment it started.
The video begins.
An earthquake occurred at Mount Kirimodake.
The earth trembled through top-notch sound processing, making the hearts of viewers in front of the screen tighten.
As the story unfolds, from the perspective of Daigo Shinjo, people learn the cause of the volcanic eruption.
That was Golza, the ancient monster that escaped in the first episode.
It lies dormant beneath the magma.
It has changed.
Its skin was covered with deep red veins resembling lava, and the armor on its back was even thicker.
The camera zoomed in, giving the monster a close-up of its face.
Its originally gray skin was filled with crimson energy, and with each breath, sulfurous sparks spewed from its nostrils.
The subtitles pop up: Ancient Monster Golza (Enhanced Type).
Look at those lava veins, the details are incredible! How much budget did they spend on these special effects?
Holy crap, this monster leveled up?!
[The texture is amazing, it feels like it really soaked in a volcano for a long time!]
[He escaped by digging a hole in the first episode, but now he's back for revenge.]
It wasn't really revenge; he seemed to have been playing it safe and developing his strength the whole time.
[Golza: I'm sleeping soundly!]
The monster is at the center of the volcano; its goal is to absorb energy.
However, the monster's actions will trigger a devastating eruption.
The Victory Team is on the move.
But this time, Gu Nan's camera didn't just focus on the main characters.
The scene shifts to the small town at the foot of the mountain.
In front of a house that was about to collapse, a little girl in a school uniform cried loudly at the edge of the ruins.
Rocks rolled down.
Just as the huge boulder was about to hit the little girl, a minor character rushed out.
He was a young man who looked to be only in his early twenties, with a square face and eyes full of passion.
He didn't have the Victory Team's superior equipment; he was just a support staff member.
He let out a roar, leaped forward, and shielded the little girl with his body.
A rock grazed his shoulder; he was in pain and sweating profusely, but gritted his teeth and roared back, "Run! To the shelter! Don't look back!"
After saying that, he seemed to want to head towards Golza...
In the comments:
[This extra is so handsome! His eyes are so focused!]
Does Director Gu scrutinize even the acting of extras this meticulously?
If this young man joined the GUTS team, he would definitely be a formidable opponent.
Unbeknownst to the audience, the young man who lingered in the storyboard for five seconds was labeled with a name in Gu Nan's character design book: Kibi Kosuke.
However, the actual storyline related to this "Daddy Long Legs" will only appear before the audience in the future.
……
Meanwhile, the Victory Team's Flying Swallow was circling high in the sky.
"Commander, the internal pressure of the volcano has reached a critical point!"
Lina's voice was urgent, "We must stop the monster, or everything within a fifty-kilometer radius will be engulfed in flames!"
She remembered that Shinjo and Daigo were still underground!
Zongfang: "Prioritize the evacuation plan! Even if the monsters charge out, we must remain on the front lines until all the residents have been evacuated!"
This is the professional ethics that Gu Nan instilled in the Victory Team—human life is always above mission.
And deep underground.
The underground tank driven by Daigo and Shinjo is about to be submerged by erupting volcanic lava.
At the brink of death.
Daigo pulled out his Spark Lens.
"Tiga!!"
A ray of light pierced through the thick smoke of the volcano.
Ultraman Tiga, here he comes!
He lifted the tank with one hand, broke through the volcano, and landed on the ground.
After setting down the tank, without any fancy probing, Tiga landed with a roll and slammed a heavy punch into Golza's chest.
Sparks flew everywhere.
But the enhanced Golza is ridiculously strong.
It charged forward despite Tiga's attack!
The ensuing fight scene is pure hand-to-hand combat and violent aesthetics. Tiga attempts to lock the monster's neck to stop it from continuing to devour the lava.
But Golza suddenly whipped its tail, sending Tiga flying.
Immediately afterwards, the monster unleashed an agility completely disproportionate to its size.
It pounced forward and pinned Tiga firmly against a steep crater wall.
Then, the entire background music became somber.
"roar--!"
Golza's giant claws gripped Tiga's left forearm tightly. It was not only tearing at it, but also crushing it downwards with its entire weight.
"Crunch—crunch—"
The sound effects are extremely realistic; they are the trembling sounds of bones and muscles stretched to their limits under high pressure.
Tiga's body was pressed tightly against the scorching rock wall, his left arm pinned firmly into a crevice by Golza's single hand, the immense pressure causing a sickening grinding sound to emanate from Tiga's left shoulder joint.
This scene sent chills down the spines of some longtime tokusatsu fans watching on screen.
A Little Tune Against the Wind
Is this move a tribute to Leorio's Seven breaking his leg?
[This is too horrific! Golza is practically crushing Tiga's arm!]
[Oh no, I lost in terms of strength!]
[Quick! Daigo! Change form!]
In the scene, Tiga lets out a low, painful gasp.
He tried to punch the monster with his right fist, but Golza's head emitted dark red ultrasonic energy from its sharp horn, which directly blocked Tiga's chest.
Zhang Zhao expressed that extreme pain through his violently heaving chest and trembling fingers.
Even without a facial expression, Tiga's pain was evident.
However, Tiga quickly switched to his Power Type!
Its crimson body contained immense power, successfully turning the tide of the battle!
Enhanced Golza was suppressed by Power Type Tiga!
Then, Tiga fired the Derashum Beam Stream!
The crimson stream of light sped away!
but--
hum!
The red energy was actually absorbed by Golza!
"Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong..."
The color timer activated its rapid red light mode.
Daigo, covered in sweat, roared through gritted teeth in the space of consciousness.
Through Ultraman Tiga's perspective, he saw the townspeople below who hadn't yet gone far and were looking back at the mountaintop.
He saw the residents looking up at the giant, their eyes filled with anticipation.
"I can't fall here!"
Just as the red light was blaring and Golza was about to crush Tiga's arm, Tiga's right fist suddenly erupted with blinding red lightning!
[A new skill?!]
[Daigo: Wait a minute, let me take a look at the skill list]
[Holy crap, the powerful type is electrified!]
[Oh no! It's enchanted!]
Tiga channeled all his energy into his right arm, and lightning, imbued with crimson power, pierced deep into the dark red veins in Golza's chest!
"Sizzle—"
"boom!!"
At the same time, the beam from the Flying Swallow struck Golza precisely on the back of its neck, causing it to momentarily freeze.
The absorption organ shattered under the lightning fist, spilling out a magma-like energy liquid.
[Victory Team gets a crucial assist!]
[666, enhancing basic attacks with fist and foot techniques? That's not sneaky!]
[The armor has been broken! Now!]
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tiga broke free and leaped backward to create distance.
With arms crossed in front of the chest, red, purple, and silver light flowed, switching back to the composite form!
"Haaah—!"
He landed steadily, his right hand slicing through the air to gather light energy, a classic starting move recreated.
[Zepelion Ray—!]
[Everyone stand up!]
[Two ultimate abilities in one game, and the cooldown is so short!]
This must be the first monster to take two powerful attacks!
[This is a sure thing! Go for it!]
The light blasted into the crack in Golza's chest without any obstruction.
The monster collapsed in an explosion filled with sparks...
However, Golza's body was not blown to pieces...
Perhaps it's because of its energy absorption properties?
In short, the audience now believes that Golza is definitely dead!
【victory!】
[A tribute to the legendary workaholic Golza!]
Daigo: This time, it's really goodbye to you.
As the thick smoke dissipated, Ultraman Tiga stood atop the desolate lava mountain, the red light on his chest gradually fading.
He turned and nodded slightly to the crowd at the foot of the mountain, then picked up Golza's "corpse" and threw it into the volcano.
Golza is dead?
Maybe...
