Chapter 84 Ultraman Tiga VS Evil Ultraman Tiga! The Power of the Heart!
This week has been extremely agonizing for viewers.
However, the 44th episode of "The Heirs of Shadow" will air next week without interruption.
After the opening sequence, there was a recap of the previous week's events.
Before Daigo could recover from his shock in the cave, the little dog that had been leading the way suddenly ran toward the stone statue, only to be electrocuted and knocked unconscious by the invisible electric fence surrounding it.
From the high platform, Zheng Jingwu's voice rang out: "You actually managed to find this place."
He stood before the enormous stone statue, like a king.
"Hey, you're the same as me. Didn't I tell you, you're not the only special person, right?"
Daigo looked at the fallen puppy and angrily raised his head.
"That's not true! I'm not anyone special. But I've always been doing what I can to protect this planet, together with everyone on it!"
People worship Ultraman like a god!
Upon hearing this, Zheng Jingwu reacted as if he had heard a joke, and he interrupted dismissively: "You should just give up on this unrealistic idea."
"You're right, you rely entirely on the power of light. Ultraman's mission is to forcefully guide the evolution of humanity!"
In Zheng Jingwu's eyes, humans are short, stupid, and not worthy of being compared with Ultraman.
At this moment, the lighting in the scene cast a shadow of seven parts gloom and three parts brightness on Zheng Jingwu's face...
He firmly believed in his own path.
Ultraman is a god, a guide, and a ruler.
They are also the saviors of human civilization!
He firmly believes that he can do even better than Daigo!
Moreover, he can guide even more people!
However, up to this point in the story, this extreme ideology has sent a chill down the spines of the audience.
This person has completely gone mad.
Does he want to be a god?
[A classic villain line! Everyone wants to be a god, right?]
[Masaki: I really want to improve]
[This reflects the mindset and speech that Daigo should have as a true protagonist!]
At this time, TPC also discovered Zheng Jingwu's identity—a world-renowned physicist, a genius scientist, and the CEO of Cedik Technology Company.
The other party is indeed a highly talented scientist.
And the company founded by Zheng Jingwu is located in the South China Sea.
Inside the cave, Zheng Jingwu showed Daigo something even more astonishing. He deciphered the secrets of light using Daigo's magic light stick.
The screen displays the genetic maps of the two individuals.
"You and I are so alike, we're like brothers."
As Zheng Jingwu spoke, he inserted the Divine Light Stick into a huge device.
Daigo shouted desperately, "Stop! What if you turn a misguided heart into light..."
"Shh-"
Masaki Keigo held up a finger with a smile on his face.
You'll soon find out if it's right or wrong.
The device is started.
The dazzling light filled the entire cave.
Masaki Keigo spread his arms wide and shouted, "I'm going to evolve from this short, human being! Hahahaha! Ancient power, turn me into light!"
As the current and light particles surged, Zheng Jingwu's body gradually decomposed, turning into a beam of light that was forcibly injected into the giant's stone statue!
"boom--!"
The stone statue has been restored!
Its enormous body shook the earth.
But this giant, although it looks very much like Ultraman Tiga, has black and silver patterns on its body, which gives off an eerie and oppressive aura.
"Has it really changed?!"
"An artificial Ultraman? But this color doesn't look like a good guy!"
The giant glanced down at the tiny Daigo beneath his feet, his gaze no longer filled with compassion, but with pure arrogance.
He then flew directly out of the cave.
At this moment, this scene, which Dr. Tango regarded as a "great experiment," was being broadcast live on the laboratory screen.
Tango laughed wildly and boasted to Hori, who barged in, "Look! What is this glowing Tiga?! This is the evolution of humanity!"
However, Horii looked at the screen and his face turned pale.
In the scene, Jung Kyung-oh, transformed into a giant, lands in the center of Namhae City. Instead of protecting the city as everyone expected, he stands between skyscrapers, arms outstretched, enjoying the thrill of his power.
The city radio played a recording that Zheng Jingwu had prepared in advance—Wagner's "Tannhäuser Overture".
Solemn and sacred music echoed through the city, accompanied by Masaki Keigona's monologue.
However, based on Zheng Jingwu's personality, Gu Nan used different lines:
"Behold this majesty, and listen attentively: the ancient Way is now accomplished before your very eyes!!!"
"Gaze upon this light, people. I am your companion at the end of your journey, not a cold idol. If you are willing to break free from the shackles of your past forms, you can be reborn in this return to the divine."
Compared to the original work, Zheng Keigo's lines here highlight his majesty as the "Giant of Light," rather than the narcissistic and arrogant pronouncements of the original Masaki Keigo.
After all, Zheng Jingwu knew that he should represent the leaders of humanity.
He will lead those lost sheep!
However, the ear-piercing engine roar and the attacks from the insects seemed a bit too noisy!
Zheng Jingwu fired a palm-shaped energy blast directly at the Victory Flying Swallow EX-J.
However, under Lina's control, the light bullet missed its target.
The deflected energy blast exploded in the city!
At this moment, countless onlookers were so frightened that they fled in panic.
However, Zheng Jingwu ignored it.
In Gu Nan's design, Xie Di, as the "guide" of Zheng Jingwu's transformation, should not imitate the original work by deliberately destroying the city and causing panic in order to demonstrate his powerful strength.
Even if the power gets out of control, one should not deliberately do things like "damage the city".
Zheng Jingwu also possesses ancient genes. Because he lacks the "correct heart," he cannot perfectly control Xie Di's body and can only rely on Xie Di's fighting instincts to attack.
Therefore, here, Xiedi simply fired light bullets continuously, attempting to shoot down the planes attacking him.
However, those purple light bombs all ended up exploding in the city.
Even though Zheng Jingwu did not intentionally damage the buildings, the entire city was now in a mess.
……
the other side.
In the laboratory, the standoff between Horii and Tango continues.
Munakata arrived just in time, raised his Hyper gun, and prepared to bring Dango to justice.
Horii, however, signaled to Munakata not to move and insisted on reasoning with Tango.
In fact, in the episode about Durban, Dango's attitude towards Durban directly exposed his research motives, which were strongly utilitarian from the beginning.
For him, the significance of science lies not so much in understanding and exploration, but in producing results and gaining recognition.
As a frontline researcher who has long been engaged in the study of giants, stone statues, and sand, Tango has a deep concern for the extinction of ancient civilizations.
Although there is every reason to believe that Tango wanted to think of humanity's interests, deep down he truly wanted to prevent humanity from repeating the same mistakes.
However, this seemingly legitimate goal was led astray by his utilitarianism.
"Even though ancient humans possessed Ultraman, they still perished!"
"Even Ultraman couldn't avert their inevitable demise!"
The Queen was very pessimistic.
Horii clearly knew about the past.
"So we can't let the same thing happen again! Right!"
"Dr. Tango, is your so-called science really that superficial? How can you rely on a power you don't even understand!"
Upon hearing Horii's words, Tango's defenses crumbled even further.
"You...you...you! Shut up!"
Despite her correct goal of avoiding annihilation, Dango fell into a behavioral pattern where "the means were irrelevant."
He skipped the core stages of scientific research and understanding the unknown, heading straight for the ultimate goal of manipulating power.
Faced with Tango's eagerness to reproduce and control the power, Horii thought of his dear friend Ryosuke, who had succumbed to the influence of Ebolon cells and ultimately gone astray...
Like Ryosuke, Tango's research on light was not to explore its principles and logic, but rather slid from seeking knowledge into creating a god!
Instead of following the scientific process of hypothesis, verification, and revision, they dared to launch experiments that could change the fate of humanity based on fragmented information about an ancient civilization, indulging in the creation of countless Ultramen in order to prevent humanity from perishing like that ancient civilization...
Horii was furious at the thought of Tango.
Horii loudly rebuked Tango for his self-righteous science and led him to the computer screen.
"Look at that giant! Look at what you've painstakingly created!"
Upon seeing the crazed Zheng Jingwu on the computer screen, Dango suddenly awoke from her daze.
"Stop this research immediately! If you consider yourself a scientist! If you truly care about the future of humanity! Stop this research now!"
In despair, Empress Tango collapsed to her knees, burying her face in her hands and weeping bitterly…
Horii is truly pitiful; he's lost his brothers and mentor, and now his colleagues have gone mad too.
Even in real life, if such a colossal statue were discovered, capable of transforming someone into a giant, without proper guidance, the chosen individual might, driven by self-interest and desire, lose control and go berserk the moment they become a giant.
Perhaps, in the face of countless deaths, even someone like Tango would see them as necessary sacrifices, the price of arduous exploration, and the spiral of ascent.
Holding power you can't control will only result in cutting your palm or crippling your entire hand.
[Daigo and Keigo, Horii and Tango, can all be seen as two sides of the same coin, one good and one evil.]
……
Inside the cave, Daigo looked at the unconscious puppy.
At this moment, the puppy also began to glow, transforming into a beam of light and merging into the monster-like stone statue next to it.
It turns out that this little dog is Zheng Jingwu's pet, named Gaddy.
Although it was just a dog, it knew that its owner had gone down the wrong path.
"roar--"
A monster named Gedi has awakened.
It didn't attack Daigo, but instead looked at him with tears in its eyes before rushing out of the ground without hesitation.
On the ground, it saw the evil Tiga wreaking havoc on the city...
Instead of attacking Evil Tiga, it rushed forward and blocked Evil Tiga's fist with its body, trying to awaken its master.
"That monster... is looking for its master who has a wrong heart, and wants to bring the master back."
Lina couldn't help but say something as she watched this scene.
However, Jung Kyung-oh, who had lost control of his powers, did not recognize his beloved dog at all.
Evil Tiga kicked Gedi to the ground, followed by a brutal beating.
Gedi let out a mournful cry, but it still clung tightly to the leg of the evil Tiga, preventing him from destroying the city.
Tears welled up in its eyes, and the timer on its chest began to flash wildly.
This scene instantly shattered the psychological defenses of all the viewers.
Stop hitting it! That's your dog!
[This is so heartbreaking, such a poor little dog.]
[You beast! You even beat your own dog!]
[I can't take it anymore, this is too heartbreaking! Can't you see Gedi is crying?!]
Where's Daigo?! Daigo, where are you?!
……
In the cave.
"We need to get out of here right now!"
"Wait a moment……"
The captain found Daigo and wanted to take him back, but Daigo refused with firm words.
"I'm staying here... I still have things to do..."
Captain Megumi looked at Daigo meaningfully.
In episode 25, "The Devil's Trial," the captain noticed something about Daigo's words and actions.
This incident involving the Titans, and the discovery of Daigo's disappearance here, further solidified the captain's suspicions.
At this moment, the captain seemed to have seen through Daigo's identity and came to a more definitive answer to the matter he had been pondering...
Thinking of this, the captain did not stop him.
"You have to come back! Do you hear me?!"
"clear……"
After saying that, Kijima Megumi ran out of the cave.
As Daigo watched all this, his eyes gradually hardened.
He doesn't have a magic wand.
But he still has the heart of a human being.
"I will do what I can do! What a human being can do!"
Despite the excruciating pain from the high-voltage power grid, Daigo climbed step by step toward the light particle conversion device.
Each electric shock tore his skin and caused it to bleed, but he did not stop.
To stop that erroneous giant.
For that brave little dog.
To prove that the power of light is not for dominating, but for protecting!
The plot of "The Heirs of Shadow" has entered its most heartbreaking and thrilling climax.
Zheng Jingwu has completely lost control.
The white glow that was originally on Xie Di has now dissipated.
The atrocities committed by Evil Tiga continue.
He has already begun causing pointless destruction!
That's not just destruction, it's a trampling on life.
Gedi was knocked down time and time again, but he got up again and again to stop them.
It doesn't shoot beams of light, nor does it possess powerful fighting skills; its only weapon is its loyalty and love for its master.
"Awooo..."
Gedi let out a mournful howl; its body was covered in wounds.
Evil Tiga rode on its back, raining down heavy punches. Each punch felt like a blow to the heart of the audience.
The comments section is going crazy:
[Stop hitting him! Please stop hitting him!]
【Zheng Jingwu, you beast! You'll get your retribution!】
Is Zheng Jingwu still controlling Xie Di?
[Yeah, Xie Di's behavior just now at least seemed somewhat theatrical, but now he's out of control!]
[Daigo! Hurry! Even without the Spark Lens, go save it!]
[I cried. Even a dog understands humanity better than that self-proclaimed god.]
The GUTS's Flying Swallow desperately attacked the evil Ultraman Tiga from the air, but human weapons seemed so powerless in the face of the giant's strength.
Lina's voice trembled with tears: "Don't hit it! It's your friend!"
Just as Gedi was on the verge of death and about to be completely destroyed by the evil Tiga.
In the underground cave.
Daigo finally climbed to the core of the device.
Without any protective measures, he reached directly into the high-pressure spark prism.
"Ahhhhh!"
A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the cave.
That is the price of mortal flesh fighting against the power of God.
"I have to stop him! I absolutely have to stop him!"
Daigo had only one thought in his mind.
It's not to prove that I'm special.
It's not about being a savior.
Simply because he couldn't bear to see that tragic mistake continue to happen!
"Tiga!!!"
With a heart-wrenching roar, a dazzling light pierced through the darkness of the earth and shot straight into the sky!
On the ground, Evil Tiga was preparing to deliver the final blow to Gedi.
Suddenly, a beam of light descended from the sky, crashing down heavily in front of Evil Tiga like a meteorite!
As the smoke cleared, the familiar figure in red, purple, and silver slowly stood up.
The true giant of light—Ultraman Tiga—has arrived!
It's here! It's finally here!
[Daigo! Beat him to death!]
This is the first time I've ever really wanted to see Ultraman Tiga kill the opponent!
As soon as Tiga appeared, without any unnecessary movements, he kicked Evil Tiga away with a flying kick.
He turned to look at Gaddy, who was lying on the ground.
The brave little dog monster was now barely breathing.
The red on its chest flickered, announcing the passing of its life.
Its eyes were half-open as it looked at Tiga who was rushing over, as if to say, "Please, save my master."
Then, its eyes slowly closed, and the timer on its chest stopped beating.
Gaddy is dead.
At that moment, the whole world seemed to fall silent.
Ultraman Tiga slowly stood up.
Su Zhe's acting reached its peak at this moment.
Although there was no dialogue between them and the suit, the audience could truly feel Tiga's emotions at that moment.
Those were trembling shoulders.
Those were clenched fists.
It was a surge of anger and sorrow that was about to burst forth.
Tiga suddenly turned around and assumed a fighting stance.
Unlike his previous composed and divine starting stances, this time, Tiga's movements were full of aggression, even with a hint of wildness.
The evil Tiga opposite him was still oblivious to his impending doom, striking a provocative pose as if to say, "Come on, imposter, let's see who's the strongest."
The battle has broken out!
This is not just a battle between two giants, it is a war of "hearts".
The background music was stirring, but now it sounded more tragic.
Tiga rushed forward and delivered a powerful chop to the neck of the evil Tiga.
This was followed by a series of fluid punches, each one carrying Daigo's fury.
This punch is for the trust you trampled on!
This punch was for Gedi!
Evil Tiga possessed equal or even stronger physical attributes, and Zheng Jingwu had received professional combat training. With the support of his fighting instincts and muscle memory, he was able to counterattack in the early stages and even suppressed Tiga at one point.
However, both Xie Di and Zheng Jingwu were wrong.
Zheng Jingwu believed that power was everything.
But he didn't know that every punch Daigo threw carried the weight of life on his shoulders.
The two clashed violently in the city.
Hand chop against hand chop, flying kick against flying kick.
Each collision generates a huge shockwave.
This is a hand-to-hand combat battle without any fancy lighting.
Every punch landed squarely, incredibly heavy.
Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, Tiga, though exhausted, saw his eyes grow ever brighter.
Evil Tiga seized an opening in Tiga's defenses and kicked him away.
Evil Tiga crossed his arms, ready to unleash his ultimate beam.
However, Tiga's reaction was also quick.
The Zepelion Ray simultaneously gathers its power.
The two giants moved in exactly the opposite order.
Then, bursts of light collided in the air!
One purple and one white exploded, unleashing a massive energy surge!
The people on the ground were stunned as they watched the two beams of light collide in mid-air...
"This is... the war between Ultraman..."
"No...this is a war caused by the hearts of men! Tiga must defeat him!"
Captain Megumi's explanation to the director seems to have revealed some information...
On the battlefield.
Evil Tiga and Tiga's timer began to flash.
Both of them realized that the battle was about to come to an end.
The two giants leaped into the air; Evil Tiga kicked out, while Tiga countered with a chop to the air...
Using that moment of unwavering resolve, Tiga withstood the energy of Evil Tiga and delivered a deadly chop to Evil Tiga's chest!
"Bang!"
The two landed and it seemed they were still evenly matched...
Tiga was the first to feel his strength failing and staggered a step.
But Evil Tiga didn't last long either, collapsing to the ground with a thud...
Immediately afterwards, Tiga gave his opponent no chance to catch his breath, and crossed his hands together.
Zeperion Ray!
But this beam of light was different from usual; it was not meant to destroy, but to restore.
A special particle beam struck Evil Tiga.
"Ahhhhh!"
Evil Tiga's body stiffened.
The color timer on his chest dimmed rapidly and finally went out completely.
Its enormous body dissipated into countless particles of light.
Only Zheng Jingwu, unconscious, remained lying in the ruins.
The battle is over.
But Tiga did not immediately turn back into a human.
He slowly walked toward Gaddy's body.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the enormous giant of light gently lifted the monster that had long since lost all signs of life.
That scene was both beautiful and tragic.
Tiga gazed tenderly at Gedi in his arms, his body radiating golden light.
The viewers in front of the screen were already in tears.
This is so touching...
[Gadget was a hero; it shouldn't have ended like this.]
Zheng Jingwu lost. He lost completely. Even at the end, he didn't understand why the dog had stopped him, or why Daigo had won.
The scene shifts back to the ground.
The incident subsided. Hori took Dr. Tango away, who was weeping and filled with remorse.
Meanwhile, Zheng Jingwu, who claimed to be a god, was tied to a stretcher.
His eyes were unfocused.
This scene is highly ironic.
A genius scientist, an elite with the gene of light, ended up like this.
The members of the Victory Team gathered together, while Lina anxiously searched for Daigo.
"Where's Daigo?"
Just then, the roar of an engine came from afar.
Daigo piloted the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 back to the team, wobbling along.
He looked exhausted, with injuries on his face, but his eyes were clearer and more composed than ever before.
As Deputy Captain Zongfang watched Daigo limp off the plane, he couldn't help but laugh and curse, "That brat is really going too far. Only his plane didn't crash. He's infuriating me."
This lighthearted remark instantly dispelled the previous somber atmosphere.
Daigo looked at his teammates and gave them his signature, honest, and warm smile.
"I'm back."
The camera lingers on the eye contact between Daigo and Rena.
Captain Megumi watched from the side, a knowing smile of satisfaction on her face.
She had fully confirmed Daigo's identity, but she chose to keep this secret.
As the ending theme song played, it was still the classic "Ultraman Forever".
But after this episode ended, the online discussion reached an unprecedented level.
"This episode is legendary! Absolutely legendary!"
"The title 'The Successor of Shadow' is so apt. Zheng Jingwu inherited the shadow, while Daigo inherited the light. But light and shadow originate from the same source; the difference lies only in the 'heart'."
"Gu Nan's acting skills are absolutely amazing. He portrayed that kind of paranoia so vividly that I wanted to jump into the screen and punch him."
"Actually, Masaki's obsession stems from his arrogance. He feels that Daigo is weaker than him and unworthy of becoming Ultraman. In his worldview, he has worked so hard for so long, even finding the ancient giant statue, but he still hasn't gotten the chance to become Ultraman. On the contrary, Daigo accidentally found the Land of Tiga, accidentally flew his plane there, and accidentally became the superman who leads the evolution of mankind."
This stark contrast, if anyone put themselves in his shoes, would make Masaki's resentment palpable; it completely contradicts his theories of talent and elitism. If Daigo were an even more monstrous genius, it wouldn't be so bad, but Daigo is just an ordinary person who stumbled into promotion by the supervisor while driving a transport truck. Masaki simply couldn't tolerate that. Add to that the doomsday prophecy, and logically, it wouldn't be surprising if he did something as obsessive and radical as possible.
"So, the social Darwinists are dissatisfied with the lucky ones, aren't they?"
"Putting everything else aside, Daigo is actually far superior to Zheng Jingwu! He was always somewhat confused and resistant to Ultraman Tiga's identity as a 'god,' and he always thought in a 'human' way. Most importantly, he constantly reflected on himself throughout the entire series, to the point that the brilliance of his humanity shone like a god. This is something Zheng Jingwu can't compare to at all!"
"The scene where Tiga carries Gedi away at the end is the perfect combination of 'divinity' and 'humanity.' Daigo is not a god, but he is greater than a god."
With the airing of these two episodes, the discussions about "artificial Ultraman" and "power and responsibility" have profoundly impacted the values of every viewer.
Gu Nan looked at the online criticism of his character and the praise for his acting skills, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"This is the first time I've done it myself."
"Although I got a lot of flak, it was worth the hate generated."
