You're out!
Hey Sato! You suck!
There's no point in asking
You'll get no reply
Oh, just remember I don't decide
I got no reason, it's all too much
You'll always find us
Out to lunch
[grunting]
[umpire] You're out!
Go back to America!
Oh, we're so pretty, oh, so pretty
[commentator] Ten losses in a row now.
Sato seems to be sleepwalking
through the season.
Sato just doesn't fit
into Japanese baseball.
You're out!
- [alarm beeping]
- [gasps, pants]
[Ami on radio] Halfway through the season
and the Giants are still struggling,
despite the addition of Ken Sato
whose lackluster play
continues to underwhelm...
[radio stops]
- [door opens]
- [Coach Shimura] Oi! Sato!
My office. Now.
- [Kenji grunts]
- [cooing]
Threaten to trade me, Ken Sato,
to the Tigers?!
To the Tigers?!
Nobody trades Ken Sato!
[breathes heavily, grunts]
I... I'm doing my best, okay?!
God!
I feed you. I clean your massive poopies!
[crying]
Ken? Are you crying?
No. I'm... not crying.
[sniffling]
Want to hit a few balls, Ken?
That always makes you feel better.
Yeah. Yeah, that sounds good.
Suck it up, Ken.
[chittering]
Yeah, baby. Come on. Come on!
You are Ken Sato.
[grunts, yells]
[groans]
Come on! Hit the ball!
You're freakin' Ken Sato.
[grunting]
Oh! Ow!
A simulated therapy session perhaps?
I have several in my database.
Really?
Maybe call someone? A friend?
[exhales] Yeah, wish I had one of those.
[grunts]
[sighs]
[exhales]
[chittering]
[beeps]
[cell phone ringing]
- Whoo!
- Hey! Settle down. Hello?
Ami, it's Ken. Ken Sato.
Um, Mr. Sato. Hi.
Look, if this is about my comments,
I can only judge you on what I see.
If you want to set the record straight...
Could we just chat? Like, off the record?
Whoo! Schuwatch!
Take that, Gazoto!
I'm really busy right now... Put that down!
Boom! Scatter drones!
[Kenji] It's just... You're the only person
who'll talk to me.
- Zoom!
- [Chiho exclaims]
I'll make you a deal.
You get five minutes.
- Yes!
- But you have to give me a follow-up.
A real interview this time.
Done. Whenever you want.
Okay, we are off the record.
[whining]
[whispers] Please Mina, keep her busy.
[Ami] Ken? You still there?
Yep. I'm here. I'm here.
[sighs] So, what's the secret?
How... How do you do it? Juggle everything.
Your job, your kid?
Don't you ever just want
to jump out a window?
Ken, do you have a secret love child?
Because that would be a story.
[laughs] Uh, no. Just, uh, curious.
[chuckles] Honestly, it's not easy, Ken.
They're like little monsters sometimes.
- [thuds]
- [Chiho] Whoa.
[whines]
Mama!
But they can surprise you too.
They have hearts and minds of their own.
They're trying to discover who they are
and what they want.
And the only support they have is us.
[chuckles softly] Imperfect, messed up us,
dealing with our own issues,
trying to figure out who the heck we are.
And you know what?
That's the beauty of it.
I look at my daughter sometimes
and think that I'm learning
as much from her as she is from me.
Amazing.
[Ami] Yep, they sure are.
[Kenji] Lower the containment unit.
[Ami] And before you know it,
she won't be interested in toys
and your heart will break.
[chittering]
I'm sure you have no idea
what I'm talking about, Ken.
Ken? Ken?
And your five minutes is up.
You gonna honor your part of the deal?
Oh, uh, yeah, yeah. Uh, tomorrow night?
Um, sure.
Great. Tonkatsu Tonki.
- 7:00? Bye.
- [line disconnects]
[chittering excitedly]
Uh, Mina? Load up a park.
Maybe start her out
in one of the older simulations.
Something easy.
I have just the thing.
[Emiko] Go, Kenji!
[speaking Japanese]
Nice touch, Mina. [chuckles softly]
Okay, just like this.
Elbows up.
Uh-huh.
Get ready.
Okay, here it comes.
[gasps]
No! No, no, no, no.
Hey, it's okay. It's okay.
It happens sometimes.
You just gotta work at it.
Now get ready
and keep your eye on the ball.
Ichi, ni, san, ball.
- Whoa! Yes! Whoo! [laughs]
- Yay!
Come on, girl! We gotta run the bases!
Like this. Come on!
[laughs] Yeah!
[whoops, laughs]
[engine whirring]
Mina we've got plenty of fish
and Pon de Rings, right?
Yes, Ken. We're all stocked up.
Now, if she wakes up, put her show on.
Let her dance her little heart out
to that stupid song.
And if there's any trouble,
you ping me on this, got it?
Ken. She's never been safer.
Have a good time.
[speaking Japanese]
- Itadakimasu!
- Itadakimasu!
Mmm.
- Right?
- Mmm. Amazing!
Did you just find this place?
Mmm. It's an old family spot.
Mom would bring me here
when Dad had to, uh...
[clears throat] work late.
Have you spoken with him
since you've been back?
Not really. He and I don't, uh...
[chuckles nervously]
Uh-uh.
Nah. Ichiro warned me
that you could get the devil himself
to confess his sins.
[chuckles softly]
It's my job to get people to confess.
And you agreed to this
during our little domestic chat.
[watch beeps]
You gonna run away again?
I'll try not to.
Great.
Then stop staring at your watch
and tell me why you don't
talk to your dad.
[yawns]
Well, look who woke up.
You want to see Daddy?
Here you go.
How about a snack while you watch?
[belches]
Oh, my!
What you're experiencing
is called acid reflux.
Symptoms include heartburn, nausea...
- [alarm beeping]
- Oh, no.
[Kenji chuckles]
Why are you so laser-focused on me?
Because there's something different
about you.
I don't know what it is yet.
Things you've said, things you haven't.
But I've done this long enough to know.
And when I know, I'm like a pitbull.
I don't let go.
[chuckles softly] Sounds like my mom.
So, um, tell me.
How am I different?
Okay, during our last interview,
you said that kids made fun of you,
so you gave them
something else to talk about.
You didn't like what they said,
but you didn't mind
that they were talking.
Go on.
Your mother was very supportive,
came to all the games.
But I think it was hard
not having your dad around.
You wanted him there
to rescue you, to protect you.
All the accolades, the money,
you don't really care about that.
It's the attention.
More than anything in the world,
you want him to notice.
Look over here. Look at Daddy.
He's right here.
There you go. That's a good girl.
Careful.
That's not good.
[screeching]
No, you shall remain in this area.
Requesting compliance.
Please return to your designated area.
No. Do not do that.
Daddy will not be happy
with all this damage.
[automated voice] Main entrance breach.
Main entrance breach.
The world ain't gonna explode
if you show a little vulnerability.
The fans don't expect you to be Ultraman.
Do you need to get that?
[gasps]
Oh, my God!
Ami, I'm so so sorry.
It's a family emergency.
[alarm blaring]
[Kenji on video]
Hey, you gotta take care of you.
Coco7. Premium.
Healthy choices, healthy body.
[chittering]
Healthy choices, healthy body.
- [all gasping]
- [dog barking]
[screeches]
[Mina] Ken, a disturbance
has been reported in Daikanyama.
There seems to be a large,
pink creature terrorizing the locals.
No, God, no.
I am sorry. I'm a terrible babysitter.
Yes. Yes, you are.
[whining]
Scramble the attack squadron
and ready my ship.
[Captain Aoshima] Roger that, sir.
[man] Airship 5,
you are clear for takeoff.
[Mina] Ken, I've located her.
She's not far from you.
- Maybe I can get to her before...
- [drones swooshing]
Oh, no, no!
[speaking Japanese]
Oh, my gosh, it's Ultragirl!
Mama!
You couldn't get her
to give the mask a break?
Nope, stubborn as you.
So, your plans changed?
Yep. Looks like it's a night out
with my girls.
Wanna grab some ice cream?
Yeah!
Or does our little superhero
need to keep an eye out for...
- [woman screams]
- A kaiju!
It's okay, Mama. I'll protect you.
Schuwatch!
[Oba-chan] Run!
- [all screaming]
- [man] A kaiju!
[Chiho giggles]
[screaming continues]
Oh, no.
[baby kaiju chirping]
Okay.
[grunts]
[Ultraman] Hey, come on. Come on.
Come to, uh... Daddy.
[people] Oh!
[Ultraman] Uh, I mean...
Stop there, beast.
[chitters, gags]
[Ultraman] No. No. No.
Uh, Mina. We've got a situation.
Baby just melted Pac-Man.
[Mina] She has acid reflux.
[Ultraman] Babies get acid reflux?
Where's baby?
[all laughing]
[man screaming]
[tires screeching]
[chitters]
Tastes just like a home run.
[horns honking]
[Ultraman grunts]
- [man] Hey, watch out!
- Sorry.
[baby kaiju chittering]
Not good.
Where's baby? There she is!
Come down, right now. Be careful!
[Mina] I don't think she's listening.
[Ultraman] Thanks for the observation.
No, no. This is not playtime.
You get down from there right now,
young lady.
[Dr. Onda] There they are.
Remember, tranquilizers only this time.
[chitters]
- [screeches]
- No. No!
[yelping]
[grunts]
[yelps]
Hang on! I'm coming!
No!
Baby!
- [bone cracks]
- [shrieks]
No. No, no, no.
Shh. It's okay. You're gonna be okay.
Daddy's here.
[Dr. Onda] Ultraman,
turn the infant over to the KDF
and we will take no action against you.
[Ultraman growls]
Mina, she's hurt!
Uh, prep the base. We have to call him.
[breathing heavily] Call my dad.
Dad, I'm not asking
for complaints, guilt, or criticism.
Not right now. I just... I need your help.
[baby kaiju whining]
[gasps]
[gasping]
Oh!
[chuckles softly] Incredible.
[Ultraman] She's hurt, Dad.
We were attacked. I don't know what to do.
She... She got loose.
I should have been there.
- [screeching]
- Shh.
Dad, please! Careful with her.
It's okay. He's not gonna hurt you.
- [screeches]
- Shh.
It's okay.
[Mina] Good to see you again, Professor.
Hello, Mina.
It's been a while.
Yes, it has.
Uh, can you do me a favor?
Can you run a chem analysis on this?
Yes, of course.
[whimpering]
[Ultraman] I'm here. I'm right here.
Dad, do something.
Help her.
[Professor Sato] Mina, it looks like
she might have a broken arm.
Can you confirm?
Yes, that's correct.
She has a mid-humeral fracture
with associated hematoma.
It's okay, you're okay.
I have completed the chem analysis,
Professor Sato.
It's a powerful sedative,
but it's harmless.
Can you synthesize 100 ccs?
Yes, Professor.
Good. We'll need more.
[Ultraman] More? For what?
Kenji, you may not agree with me
on anything else,
but right now,
I'm the best chance she has,
so please, please, just let me help.
[Ultraman] Okay.
Dad. Bunny?
It always worked on you.
[button clicks]
[mellow music playing]
[Kenji] B-i-n-g-o, b-i-n-g-o
Okay, now hold her steady, Kenji.
B-i-n-g-o
[both] And Bingo was his name-o
- [bone cracks]
- [screeches]
[Akiko and Mrs. Onda]
Please let the light that shines on me
Shine on the one I love
Akiko, say hi to Daddy.
Hi, Daddy!
I see you, Daddy, I see you.
[Gigantron roaring]
- What's that, Mama?
- Get down!
Sorry for the intrusion, sir.
My deepest apologies
for failing to capture the infant.
It's all right, Captain.
We learned something
very important tonight.
Watch this.
As I'd suspected,
the infant has the ability to echolocate
to find her way,
meaning, eventually,
she'll want to go home.
And when she does,
we will track her back to Kaiju Island
and destroy them all.
You question my methods?
Sir, I'm sorry.
I wholeheartedly believe in our mission,
but... is there no other way?
Your compassion is admirable, Captain.
You have children. A boy and a girl. Yes?
They're my world, sir.
Family is everything.
I would do anything to have one more day
with my wife and daughter.
Anything.
I don't enjoy this task.
I am a scientist after all, not a hunter.
But I've learned
that hard decisions must be made
to protect those we love.
Understand?
Yes, sir.
Captain, you look exhausted.
Go home to your family.
Get some rest and we will
resume the search in the morning.
Thank you, sir. Have a good night.
[heart beating]
Bad habit.
I'd say we did pretty well
considering the circumstances.
Dad, I...
I really appreciate you showing up, I do.
But this doesn't make you Ultradad.
You know, we're not
suddenly gonna be best pals.
[sighs]
Kenji, I need to show you something.
Mina, news, please.
Fortunately, the KDF
was able to contain the damage
and no one was harmed.
But the kaiju escaped
and it would appear that Ultraman
is actually defending the beast.
The KDF are conducting a massive search
for both the creature and Ultraman.
We will protect the families of this city.
We will get to the bottom of this
and we will eliminate the threat.
Kenji, I've been tracking Onda.
And until now he's been content on just
killing whatever kaiju attack the city.
But something's changed.
He wasn't trying to kill the baby.
He wanted her alive.
[sighs]
I've known Onda for a long time.
He is brilliant. He is cunning.
And he will never stop,
not until she's captured and you're dead.
[Mina] B-i-n-g-o
And Bingo was his name-o
[sighs] You and I
don't have to be best pals.
But can we at least agree
that she is the priority?
Yes. She is.
Okay, good.
Do you have a plan?
We thought returning the baby
to her natural habitat
would be best, Professor Sato.
But the location of Kaiju Island
remains elusive.
Even if we could find it,
without a mother to defend her,
the baby might starve, drown,
die of hypothermia.
Another kaiju could eat her as a snack...
I got it. I got it.
We have to raise her
the way her mother would have.
So you're suggesting
that you and I, Ultraman...
Ultramen, guys who are supposed
to fight these things,
should train this baby
to essentially kick our butts?
Kenji, she needs us.
[Professor Sato] Come on. Stand up.
We have to measure you.
[Mina] And analyze
your entire genetic makeup.
[yawns] What are you doing?
We need to examine her
so that we can plan a training regimen
to protect Emi from predators.
Emi? But, uh, wait.
You named her after Mom?
I think she would approve.
Okay now, Emi.
Stand up nice and tall.
My God, my dad is a kaiju whisperer.
Mina, please prepare to insert
the micro tracking device.
Emi, can you do like Bunny?
Good girl.
Mina, treat, please.
And before we eat,
we always say, "Itadakimasu!"
[gags]
Professor Sato, I believe
that Emi is experiencing
a bit of nausea from the medicine.
Uh, Dad, step away. Seriously.
Oh, she's fine.
Itadaki...
Masu.
[giggling]
[Ultraman] Get back here right now, missy!
[commentator] That's another loss
for the Giants, making it six in a row.
[rock music playing]
[commentator]
Climbing back into contention,
the Giants are now just one game
out of first place.
[Ami] The Giants
are really coming together,
thanks to a more mature Ken Sato.
Safe!
[commentator] We're going to the playoffs!
Sato's home run clinches a playoff spot
for the Giants.
I have never seen a turnaround
quite like it.
[Ami] I don't know
what's happening with Sato,
but something has changed for the better.
Not only is he shining on the field,
but he has brought this team together.
[whirring]
[thuds]
I thought it would be good
for all of us to get out of the house.
It's exactly the same.
[chittering]
Haven't been in a few weeks.
So many great memories here.
I repurposed it into a bit of a lab
after you moved away.
You know your mom.
She could never sit still.
You did search for her.
Yes.
God, I miss her.
Her heart, her passion for life.
She showed me what it means to be human.
I'm so sorry, Dad.
[sighs]
She sent me those.
And tapes of all your games.
[chuckles softly]
Do you remember the '02 series?
A clear night. Outfield seats.
Matsui was unbelievable.
What? I thought I'd lost it.
[chuckles] I'll never forget the look
on your face when I caught it.
[chuckles] You cheered like a maniac
every time Matsui knocked one
out of the park.
I thought if somebody could do that
with a bat and a ball,
get your attention, make you smile...
Well, then that was something
I needed to do.
Hmm. That was the best day of my life.
Yes, but it was just one day.
[Emi chirping]
Wanna play?
And it's a grand slam! [whoops]
Yeah!
- The crowd goes wild.
- That's the way, Emi!
And she's safe!
- [whooping]
- [chirping]
Great job, Emi!
It's okay. You guys can just keep playing.
[Mina] Emi, I can't believe
how far you hit that.
You did a very good thing, Kenji.
We did a good thing, Dad.
- I couldn't have done this without you.
- Hey! Wait for me.
[both chuckle]
Very nice.
Dad?
Did you ever worry
that your power wasn't enough?
That you couldn't protect us?
Every single day.
When I went into battle,
I never knew what would happen.
Whether I'd live or die,
whether I could keep you
and your mother safe.
[sighs]
I know it wasn't easy, Kenji,
moving away,
building a new life.
[sighs] And now this.
I'm so sorry.
[chuckles softly]
It's actually kind of cool
turning into a giant superhero.
It's just, uh...
[chuckles] I'm... I'm not very good at it.
Do you remember Gomora?
Oh, yeah. Big horns, short temper?
[laughs] Yes.
Well one night just after you were born,
your mother and I were making curry.
We're about to eat when the call comes in.
"Gomora is attacking Shirokanedai!"
I look across the table
at your mother and say,
"Wouldn't it be a shame if I die tonight
and never get to enjoy this curry?"
She smiled at me and said,
"If you die, I'll be heartbroken."
"I'll grieve for weeks."
"But I promise this curry
will not go to waste."
[both laugh]
That sounds just like her.
[sighs]
Before that night,
I was awkward, impulsive,
my color timer would go off in minutes.
But during that battle,
all I could think about
was your mother's laugh.
And your face.
And that was the first time
my color timer didn't go off.
Uh...
I... [chuckles] I don't get it.
Your mother and I
spent our lives juggling,
trying to bridge the gap
between us and the kaiju,
trying to raise you.
Being Ultraman isn't about fighting.
It's about heart.
Using your power to bring balance.
What you're doing now with Emi...
You've accomplished what we never could.
[Emi screeching]
Oh, what's wrong, girl?
What are you looking at? Huh?
Why are the stars moving?
Mina, scan for incoming.
My radar systems have been jammed.
Oh, my God. It's the KDF.
Emi, come on, baby.
It's the bad men. Come on.
No. No, Emi! No!
[indistinct chatter]
[alarm buzzing]
[automated voice]
Drones have located the target.
Drones have located the target.
Emi! Behind you! Look out!
[Dr. Onda] Are there more drones
in the area?
Do we have more drones in the area?
Yes, Doctor. A short distance away.
Send them. Send them now!
[Professor Sato] Those drones have
direct video feeds to KDF headquarters.
We have to go now.
Come on, sweetie. Time to go.
Dad, what's wrong with her?
What's happening?
She's entering a pupal stage, Kenji.
She's changing.
Changing? Changing into what?
I don't know,
but she's vulnerable right now.
We have to get her someplace safe.
Firing up the jet.
- Dad, as soon as the jet arrives...
- [drones whirring]
Dad!
Kenji!
[screams, groans]
No!
[panting]
[yells]
No!
[beeping]
[groans]
[Dr. Onda] Was the homing beacon
successfully deployed?
Yes, Dr. Onda.
But some sort of frequency jammer
was engaged.
We lost the signal,
but we believe
we can triangulate Ultraman's location
within a five-mile radius.
Good. Good. And what of Project Surrogate?
Good news, sir.
Estimated time of completion
is five hours.
The Destroyer is prepped and ready.
Thank you Captain Aoshima.
That will be all for now.
Yes, sir.
[Ami] It's the first game of the series
and it appears that Sato is a no-show.
He was absent during yesterday's practice
and team management
has been silent on the situation.
We're all hoping he's okay.
Mina, any change?
No, Ken.
He's stable
but his internal injuries were severe.
I'm sorry.
And Emi?
It's hard to tell, Ken.
My sensors can't seem
to penetrate the cocoon.
[kaiju roaring in distance]
No. No, no, no.
It can't be.
Mina, where did that sound come from?
It originated from the east, a mile away.
[gasps]
Oh, my God.
[grunts, pants]
[yawns]
[chittering]
- [kaiju roaring in distance]
- Huh?
Emi.
[Emi screeching]
No. No, Emi. No!
No, girl.
Emi, look at me. Look at Daddy.
Mina, I need an analysis. What do you see?
Scanning, Ken.
Something's approaching, entering the bay.
[roaring]
That's not possible.
Emi! No!
Mina, take care of Dad.
Danger, take evasive action.
Mina! Shield!
[explosion]
[Mina] Kenji.
[groans]
[distorted] Ken?
- Are you...
- [groans]
Ken, are you okay?
Oh, God, Mina.
My systems are compromised.
I'll be offline soon.
Dad?
[coughing, grunting]
Mina, is he gone?
I'm sorry,
but my scans don't detect life.
[crying]
Ken?
I've observed you since you were young,
I know you have doubts
about following
in your father's footsteps,
but I see him in you.
Both of your parents.
Your mother's sense of humor,
her directness.
And your father's quiet strength.
- It is beautiful.
- Da, da, da, da!
You are an amazing baseball player, Kenji.
But you were meant to be Ultraman.
One more thing, Ken.
Emi's tracking device
is still active.
You can save her.
Mina, I don't say this enough.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Now go get our girl.
B-i-n-g...
[powering down]
[watch beeping]
[grunts, yells]
Schuwatch!
[warbling]
[chirping]
[roaring]
[bellowing]
[Captain Aoshima] We are headed southeast.
The infant is keeping a steady pace.
[Dr. Onda] Good.
We'll follow them back to Kaiju Island.
And once we're there,
we will do what needs to be done.
Dr. Onda, how did you know
that we could lure the infant out?
As I said, Captain, family is everything,
- even to these creatures.
- [alarm beeping]
[loud thud]
[chirps in excitement]
There's my girl.
[roars]
Emi. We gotta go, girl.
That's not your real mama.
She's just a fake.
Something the bad men made to trick you.
[roars]
I know you're up there! Coward!
Mecha Gigantron, attack!
[roaring]
[Ultraman yelling]
[grunts]
[grunts]
[screams]
[Emi cooing]
[screeches]
[growls]
Missile attack now!
[grunting]
[screeches]
No!
No! No, no.
[breathing heavily]
No, no, no. No, no, no.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
Wake up. Wake up, girl!
[yells]
[panting]
[grunting]
[breathing heavily]
Huh?
Oh, my God.
[screeches]
[Mecha Gigantron breathing coarsely]
[groans]
[beeping]
Kill him.
- [grunting]
- [roars]
[beeping rapidly]
Emi!
[screeches]
[Emiko] Oh, Kenji.
Your dad wants to be here
more than anything in the world.
But sometimes, he has to be away
to protect us.
[Gigantron roaring]
[coughing, gasping]
[breathes heavily, groans]
Dad? You're alive.
I promised I would always be here.
Another Ultra?
Kill them both!
[roaring]
What's wrong with her, girl?
- [warbling]
- [roaring]
- [alarm beeping]
- What's happening?
Sir, The Mech systems
are no longer accepting our commands.
Try again.
[warbling]
[groans]
[roars loudly]
[screeches with joy]
Sir, Gigantron
has overridden our protocols.
It seems the creature
is no longer under our control.
[sighs]
Escort the crew to the escape pods.
See to it that everyone is safe.
- But sir, I...
- The KDF must survive.
Even if I don't.
Go now.
Abandon ship!
Everyone to the escape pods!
- Abandon ship!
- Abandon ship!
[man] Let's go! Move it!
Is this the part where the villain
sends a hidden force we didn't know about?
Those are escape pods.
[alarm blaring]
[screeches]
[groans, coughs]
Dad! Are you okay?
I'm fine, Kenji.
We gonna do this together?
Well I'm not gonna do it alone.
[laughs]
[yells]
Schuwatch!
[thunder rumbling]
Ahhh!
[all grunting]
- [alarm buzzing]
- [groans]
[grunts]
[Ultraman] Look out!
[breathing heavily]
[roaring]
[groans]
[grunts, screams]
[screeches]
[grunts] Don't you ever touch my son!
[yells]
[Chiho and Oba-chan]
Ultraman's our hero!
Why?
He's our hero, Ultraman!
Chiho, be careful.
I don't want Cheerios and puke
all over the car again.
Oh, she's having fun.
- [thuds]
- [all gasp]
- Is everyone okay?
- [Chiho] Whoa!
[Ultraman groans]
- Hi, Ultraman!
- No, no, no.
[Ultraman] Hi.
- [Chiho] Oh, my gosh! Look!
- [Ultraman groaning]
- Hello! I know you.
- [screeches]
Emi, come on. Leave the human alone.
How cute!
- Chiho!
- Whoo-hoo!
[grunting]
[Ultradad laughs]
Ultraman! I trusted you.
I trusted you to protect us.
To protect them.
[grunts, groans]
Ultraman, you let them die!
[Ultraman yelling]
Batter up!
Ahhh!
[Ultradad] Kenji.
[Ultraman breathing heavily]
[Dr. Onda in Japanese] Die!
[groaning]
[screams]
[electricity crackling]
[groaning]
[beeping]
[groaning]
[Mrs. Onda] Akiko, say hi to Daddy.
Hi, Daddy!
I see you, Daddy, I see you.
[shakily] Soon.
[thumping]
[Ultradad] Oh, God.
He'll destroy us all.
No, Kenji!
[Kenji] Did you ever worry
that your power wasn't enough?
That you couldn't save us?
[Professor Sato] Every single day.
[Emiko] Someday,
when you have kids of your own,
you'll understand.
[young Kenji] Maybe, if I'm strong enough,
I can keep Daddy safe.
[Ultradad] Kenji!
[explosion]
[screeching]
[reporter 1] A massive attack...
[reporter 2]
We're still not sure of his whereabouts...
[reporter 1] Witnesses saw Ultraman
throw himself on what look liked a bomb...
- [man and woman] He saved us.
- [man 2] Ultraman saved us.
[Ami] After a challenging season,
you proved the skeptics wrong,
brought the team together,
and rallied the Giants
to their first championship title
in years.
That's gotta feel good.
[chuckles] I can't take the credit.
It was this team, these guys.
- [crowd cheering]
- I'm just happy to be a part of it.
Earlier, I spoke with Shimura, who said,
"Ken Sato might be the finest player
I've ever coached."
"He exemplifies what it means
to be a Giant."
Many critics, including myself,
have noticed a change.
What do you attribute that to?
I wouldn't be here without my family,
simple as that.
My dad, mom.
They made this possible.
I just wish she could be here to see it.
I'm sure she'd be proud.
[sighs] She used to leave these messages.
Little things to help me
get through tough times.
Mind if I share?
[Emiko] Kenji,
you're probably not even up yet.
But I was thinking about you
and I wanted to share a list of hopes.
I hope that you'll
give your father a chance.
Whether you believe it or not,
he loves you with all his heart.
I hope you'll understand us better.
Understand that we were
just trying to prepare you
for all the challenges headed your way.
And as time passes, we fade into memory,
I hope that you'll pass
some of those memories,
some of those lessons along
because in the end,
it was all done with love, kiddo.
I miss you.
See you soon.
[beeping]
[Emiko speaking indistinctly]
[Emiko] Kenji? Can you hear me?
It's Mom.
I'm still alive.
Help me get back home.
