Chapter 55: Ultraman Tiga Season 1 concludes, receiving recognition across all platforms!
With the blessing of Shining Chick.
The golden Zepelion Ray, like a sword piercing the heavens and earth, not only completely vaporized the second generation of Kirieloids, but also, carrying the hope of humanity's revival, crashed heavily into the huge Kirieloid Gate that emitted purple gas!
"boom--!!!"
With a deafening explosion, the colossal gate that had once bewitched all of humanity began to tremble violently in the golden sea of light.
The once invincible black aura was rapidly dissolved by the sacred light particles, and the stone door frame crumbled into countless fragments under the high temperature.
The gates of hell were shattered by the light ignited by humanity itself before they were even fully opened!
In the sky, the thick black clouds tore apart, and the first ray of dawn pierced through the clouds, shining on the devastated streets of Jinghai City.
Tiga's golden body slowly descended.
Due to the large amount of energy consumed, the golden veins on his body gradually disappeared, returning to their original red, purple, and silver colors.
The Shining Prototype is just a limited form; this was the tone that Gu Nan set when he first designed it.
Perhaps we will only see this form appear again in the finale or a theatrical version.
At that moment, the once quiet street erupted into cheers like a tsunami.
"We won! Ultraman Tiga won!"
"Look! The sun is rising!"
The delivery guy took off his helmet, looked at the monster's afterimage gradually fading in the sky, and chuckled foolishly. As he chuckled, tears streamed down his face.
The drivers on the roadside were honking their horns frantically, not to urge them on, but to celebrate.
Tiga turned his head, his huge eyes looking at the tiny yet resilient crowd on the ground.
Instead of flying away, he raised his thumb, as if to express his deepest gratitude to his family who had given him strength.
At this moment, divinity and humanity intertwine.
Then, in a burst of brilliant light, the giant's figure gradually faded and disappeared into the morning light.
Camera angle change.
They arrived at the home of Izumi's son.
"After our investigation, we discovered something very interesting."
"That day, all the drone control signals for the entire city originated from this place..."
"I'm sorry... Mom..."
"You...finally...call me Mom..."
Megumi Kiyama hugged the child...
Beside them, Daigo and Rena smiled with satisfaction.
Captain Megumi looked at Daigo with a deep and gratified gaze.
The camera gradually zooms out, and background music begins to play.
The screen went black.
A line of white text quietly appeared:
"To all who believe in the light."
Ultraman Tiga Season 1 - End.
……
In reality
As the last frame disappeared, the entire Bilibili live stream fell into a deathly silence for thirty seconds.
There are no bullet comments.
No tip was given.
It was as if the eight million viewers had collectively fallen silent at that moment.
Thirty seconds later.
"boom!!!"
The barrage of comments exploded.
The real outbreak caused Bilibili's servers, which had already been expanded tenfold in an emergency, to instantly display a red screen warning!
I have no regrets about joining Ultraman Tiga in this life! On this day, I share in Tiga's glory!
[Awesome! I told you from the start this anime would be champagne-filled!]
[A strong start followed by a dramatic drop! A contender for the best anime of the year!]
[Director Gu! You're like my own father! This finale gave me goosebumps!]
[That "To All Those Who Believe in the Light" brought tears to my eyes; I cried like a 200-pound child.]
【Qiao, come out here and face your death! What kind of garbage is that? This is the real hero!】
In just one hour.

Related terms have dominated the trending searches!
This level of dominance is unprecedented.
The Douban rating for the first season of "Ultraman Tiga" jumped wildly from 9.5 points overnight, and finally settled firmly at 9.7 points!
A masterpiece.
A true phenomenal masterpiece.
President's Office, Qiaotianzun Company.
Looking at the astonishing playback data on the screen, Zhao Rui felt as if he had aged ten years.
The press releases that had been prepared, announcing the death of the protagonist Tiga, were now scattered on the ground, like mocking jokes.
"We lost...we lost completely."
His painstakingly crafted "Superpower Overlord" was like a naive doodle encountering a timeless masterpiece in the face of this battle.
It's not just a difference in production quality, but a world of difference in their core essence.
Just then, his office door was pushed open.
Suman and several financial managers and legal advisors walked in with grim expressions.
"Mr. Zhao, due to the immense popularity of Ultraman Tiga, several toy distributors we had signed contracts with... have collectively breached their contracts. They'd rather pay the penalty for breach of contract than miss out on the authorization from Light Chaser Animation Studio."
"Also, the board of directors is demanding that you resign to take responsibility."
Zhao Rui closed his eyes and gave a self-deprecating laugh.
He knew that in the tokusatsu industry, as long as Gu Nan was around, he would never have a chance to rise to the top.
……
the other side.
Cheers resounded throughout the office of Zhuiguang.
"Brother Nan! Total views have surpassed 200 million! Single episode's coin donations have exceeded 10 million! We're rich! We've succeeded!!!"
Chen Bo was so excited that he wanted to run naked in the hall, but Gu Nan kicked him back.
Wang Kai hugged the renderer and cried, "It was all worth it! So worth it!"
He turned to look at the group of energetic young people in the office, and at the still-unopened, more advanced motion capture equipment, and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
"Season 1 is over. But this is just the beginning."
An ambitious glint flashed in Gu Nan's eyes.
"Let's take a few days off. We're preparing to start the project for Ultraman Tiga Season 2."
……
Just as everyone was celebrating, Gu Nan's phone suddenly rang.
It was an extremely unfamiliar number, originating from overseas.
Gu Nan walked to the quiet terrace and answered the phone.
"Moshi Moshi? Excuse me, are you Director Gu Nan?"
On the other end of the phone was a slightly aged but strong voice, speaking broken Chinese.
"I am Gu Nan."
Gu Nan didn't ask how the other party got his phone number, but he could roughly guess who had introduced him to this person who was from overseas and could call his private phone.
The other person was silent for a moment, then spoke a long string of words in Japanese, with what appeared to be a translator explaining.
"Mr. Gu Nan, I am a photographer from Japan. I worked under Mr. Eiji Tsuburaya for many years..."
Gu Nan's pupils suddenly contracted.
In this parallel world, Tsuburaya Productions went bankrupt thirty years ago, and that glorious era of tokusatsu (special effects) has long been buried in the dustbin of history.
"I watched your 'Ultraman Tiga'. I cried when I saw the scene where the whole city lights up."
The old man's voice was choked with emotion.
"I thought that in this era of pursuing quick money and traffic, the will of 'light' had been extinguished. But I never expected that in Xia Kingdom, in your hands, I would see a light even more brilliant than that of that era."
"Thank you, Mr. Gu. Thank you for giving the words 'Ultraman' a new life..."
Hang up the phone.
Gu Nan looked at the red sun that had fully risen on the horizon.
That was recognition from the older generation, and also a sign of the passing of the torch.
Chen Bo ran over, panting, and asked, "Brother Nan, who is it?"
Gu Nan put away his phone and smiled slightly: "You wouldn't know him anyway, so just pretend he's someone who also believes in the light."
The nickname Gu Nan just added to his phone screen, if translated from Japanese into Chinese, would be—Muraishi Hiromi.
