N-A-A Chapter 62, Season 2 premieres! New opening theme! New storyline! Rainbow Wonderland!
Chapter 62, Season 2 premieres! New opening theme! New storyline! Rainbow Wonderland!
With the conclusion of Light Chaser Animation's strategic launch event, the return of Ultraman Tiga Season 2 has become the most anticipated event online.
Two weeks later, time flew by.
Countless viewers are waiting on Light Chaser Animation's official website homepage for the countdown clock to reach zero for the second season's release.
After anxiously waiting, the time finally arrived at Friday of the last week of March, at the familiar 8 pm.
Ultraman Tiga Season 2 has officially premiered.
After several months of intensive marketing efforts by the company's newly established marketing team, the publicity for the second quarter reached an extremely high level.
This season is no longer limited to Bilibili. Although the premiere was still on Bilibili, other platforms updated only one episode later than Bilibili.
Meanwhile, the television broadcasting rights for the first season were also acquired by Jinghai Children's Channel at a high price, and will be rebroadcast during prime time on weekends.
Unlike the awkward "shoot-as-you-go" approach of the first season, the second season adopted a fully industrialized project management system, giving Light Chaser Animation more flexibility.
When the first episode aired, the first 10 episodes of the second season had already been filmed, and the first five episodes had even been in post-production.
After a long off-season, audience expectations have been pushed to the limit.
Bilibili's pre-registration numbers have surpassed an unprecedented ten million, and the server maintenance team is on high alert, fearing that the surge in traffic at the moment the broadcast starts will overwhelm the servers.
……
The screen lit up at 8 p.m. on Friday.
♪Deng deng deng deng……♫ (A burst of powerful music)
A completely new opening theme?!
It sounds great!
That's right!
Gu Nan changed the opening theme song to the most familiar song in the original world—"Miracle Reappears"!
Of course, for the audience around the world, this is a completely new song.
In fact, Gu Nan was torn between using the original Japanese version or "Miracle Again" during the first season.
Ultimately, for the sake of sentimentality, we decided to use the original version for now, and now, it's time for this Chinese battle song to resound through the skies.
♪Just like sunlight piercing through the night, dawn quietly sweeps across the horizon♫
♪Whose figure traverses the cycle of reincarnation?♫
♫The road to the future lies beneath your feet♫
♫Don't be sad, don't be afraid♪
♪Full of hope, looking forward to tomorrow♪
As new monster silhouettes flashed across the opening sequence, along with Tiga's battle stance, the barrage of comments instantly filled the entire screen.
[I'm back! My light has returned!]
In these days without Ultraman Tiga, the world feels gray!
[Selling sunflower seeds, peanuts, and bottled water in the front row!]
Is this the legendary second season? The picture quality seems to have improved by more than one level!
This time, the opening theme was a resource that Gu Nan retrieved from his phone in his mind. He first provided the original sheet music, and then had the music team hum the melody from his memory.
Then, a professional music team arranged and recreated the harmony, and under the supervision of Gu Nan, the final result was music that was almost identical to the original world.
"A new storm has arrived; how can we stand still..."
"I will travel through time and space with all my might to come to your side..."
The new opening theme is so good, I'm going to transcribe it tonight!
[Such catchy music!]
I want to sing this song at karaoke! When will the copyright information be available for karaoke?
[This is interesting! I think this song alone could be in the top ten songs of the year!]
Gu Nan sat in the company's screening room, watching the live comments, a smile playing on his lips.
No matter the world, Miracles Again is always top-notch.
The second season opens with a heartwarming story instead of the usual epic, devastating scenes.
The plot unfolds slowly, using a strange yet tender narrative rhythm to pull the audience back into that bizarre and fantastical world.
……
The story begins with a brief introduction to the general situation of the world after the Kirieloids were wiped out.
This serves as a "previous episode recap" of the previous season.
The camera then didn't focus on the winning team, but instead focused on an ordinary family of four.
The father is a somewhat dull middle-aged man who is devoted to his work, the mother is gentle and virtuous, and the two children are unhappy because the trip to the amusement park that their father promised has fallen through again.
To make up for it, the family drove to the suburbs. On their way home, a magnificent rainbow suddenly appeared outside the car window.
Wow! What a beautiful rainbow!
The daughter in the back seat exclaimed excitedly, "Daddy, let's go that way! There must be fun things over there with the rainbow!"
Although the father hesitated for a moment, in order to make the child happy, he turned the steering wheel and drove towards the direction of the rainbow.
However, they were unaware that the car was about to enter a mysterious alternate dimension.
After the car drove into the woods, strange things began to happen.
The once clear road became blurry, the compass spun wildly, and the car navigation system went completely black.
No matter how hard the father pressed the accelerator, the car seemed to be going in circles until it was completely dark, and they were still trapped in this desolate forest.
"Dad, I'm scared..."
The daughter tried to take out her phone to call for help, but found that the top left corner of the screen showed "No Signal".
Just then, his sharp-eyed son pointed ahead: "Dad! There's a car up ahead! We can go ask for directions!"
The family rushed over as if they had grasped at a straw. The son ran to the car parked by the roadside and peered through the window.
The next second, the boy let out a piercing scream.
The camera suddenly zooms in—in the driver's seat of the dusty car, there is a skeleton dressed in clothes!
Holy crap!! That scared the hell out of me!
[Is this Ultraman Tiga? Isn't this a horror movie?]
[The opening was a real shock! The atmosphere was amazing; I thought I'd stepped into some kind of supernatural theater.]
Fear instantly gripped the whole family. The son cried out, trembling, "It's the magic mirror...we've entered the world of the magic mirror, and we can never get out!"
Just when the family was in despair, the earth began to tremble.
A terrifying monster covered in silver scales, with huge ram horns and eyes that glowed yellow—Silbergon—slowly emerged from the depths of the forest.
It passed by the car with the skull on it and smashed it into scrap metal with a stomp.
Then it walked step by step toward the family's car.
As if things weren't bad enough, my father's car ran out of gas and stalled.
Inside the car, the family of four covered their mouths, barely daring to breathe, staring intently at the monster outside the window.
However, a strange thing happened.
Hilbargon's glowing eyes scanned the area around the car, seemingly seeing nothing, before turning and leaving.
……
The next day, in the Victory Team's command room.
Urgent news has arrived: someone witnessed a vehicle mysteriously disappearing after entering Rainbow.
"rainbow?"
Horii frowned as he looked at the weather satellite data. "This is impossible. The weather conditions in that area are far from allowing a rainbow to form. This is an anomaly."
Captain Megumi immediately decided, "It's necessary to investigate."
The enthusiastic young man, Xincheng, immediately volunteered: "I'll pilot the Flying Swallow!"
"No!"
Horii immediately stopped him, saying, "There is a strong magnetic field interference near the Lion's Nose Forest. If the plane goes there, all its electronic instruments will malfunction, and it may even crash."
Ultimately, the group decided to drive the specially made Sherlock patrol car to investigate.
……
The camera cuts back to the sea of trees.
Although they were trapped, this actually brought out the father's hidden skills.
This father has top-notch wilderness survival skills.
He gathered some wild vegetables and fruits, set up a pot, and made a steaming pot of wild vegetable soup for his still-shaken family.
"Delicious!" Mom's eyes lit up after finishing a bowl of soup. "Honey, I never knew you had this skill. It's really good."
Seeing the satisfied smiles on his wife and children's faces, the father's back, which had been bent by work, seemed to straighten a little.
……
Finally, the eerie rainbow reappeared.
The arriving Victory Team immediately noticed the anomaly.
Lina pointed to the sky: "Look everyone, that rainbow... it's upside down!"
With the appearance of the rainbow, a path suddenly appeared in the forest where there was no way to go before.
The two children excitedly tried to run out, but with a "bang," it was as if they had hit an invisible wall and were bounced back.
At the same time, terror descended.
A slippery tentacle silently reached out towards the mother who was tidying up her things.
The mother felt a tap on her shoulder and thought her husband was joking: "Stop it, honey..."
She turned her head with a smile, her pupils dilating instantly.
What appeared before her was not her husband, but a huge monster's tentacle!
"ah--!!!"
The woman's screams echoed through the forest.
Upon hearing the sound, the Victory Team immediately drove their Sherlock cars at full speed, only to crash into the invisible wall with a loud "bang," denting the front of their vehicles.
Inside the barrier, the monster Gadi II waved its tentacles, preparing to enjoy this "human feast".
Daigo drew his Hyper gun and fired wildly at the invisible wall, but the lasers only created ripples when they hit it, and could not penetrate it at all.
At this critical moment, the ground shook violently.
The silver nightmare—Silbergon—has returned!
It was heading towards the territory of the second generation of Gadi when it crashed into the invisible wall.
Hilbargon paused for a moment, then flew into a rage.
It took two steps back, its horns gleaming coldly, and rammed into the ground with sheer physical strength!
Snap! Snap!
The invisible wall that had left the Victory Team helpless was actually smashed to pieces like glass!
Holy crap! That's incredible!
[A miracle happened! The new city is stunned!]
This monster's physical attack power is practically maxed out!
The two monsters instantly began to wrestle.
The second generation of Gadi clearly did not want to give up its territory. It lashed out at Hilbagon with its long, whip-like tentacles while spewing out yellow destructive rays from its mouth.
But then something happened that left the entire online audience stunned.
Hilbargon neither dodged nor evaded, letting the attacks hit him without even a spark flying!
Its silver skin was like the hardest armor in the world.
The next second, the massacre began.
Hilbargon grabbed the second Gardi's tentacle and yanked it like he was tearing a rotten noodle.
The massive body of Gadi was lifted up by one hand and slammed heavily to the ground!
Immediately afterwards, Hilbagun stomped his foot wildly, each stomp causing the earth to tremble.
The second generation of Gadi attempted to retaliate, using its tentacles to tightly strangle Hilbagon's neck.
Hilbargon simply ripped it off with both hands, and with a "snap," the tentacle was severed!
Finally, Hilbargon grabbed Gaddi II's head with both hands, found the right spot, and bit down on its neck.
With a sickening cracking sound, this second-generation Gadgetzan, who had once given the Victory Team a lot of headaches, died on the spot!
Instant kill! Utterly and completely instant kill!
[This...this intensity is excessive, isn't it?]
[Gadi was a huge monster, how could it just get bitten to death like that?]
This is so brutal! Is this the art style for season two? I love it!
Wow, the battles between monsters are so exciting!
[By the way, when will Light Chaser Animation Studios release a monster battle series?]
After defeating his opponent, Hilbagun turned to look in the direction of the Victory Team.
To protect civilians, Daigo and Rena immediately drove the car away to lure the monster away and launched a laser attack.
But this tickling attack only enraged Hilbargon.
It stepped on the Sherlock car, forcing Daigo and Rena to jump out.
Lina hit her head while rolling down the hillside and fell unconscious.
Sherlock's chariot was trampled into a pancake behind him.
Looking at the unconscious Lina, Daigo's eyes blazed with rage.
He pulled out his magic light stick, and a beam of light shot into the sky!
Ultraman Tiga, here he comes!
Enraged, Tiga didn't hesitate and rushed forward, grabbing Silvergon's tail and trying to fling it away.
However, an embarrassing scene unfolded.
No matter how hard Tiga tried, Silvergon remained unmoved.
Instead, Silvergon suddenly swung its tail, and its immense strength sent Tiga flying, crashing into a large area of trees.
Tiga quickly got up and rushed in front of the monster, unleashing a series of punches. But Silvergon's defense was ridiculously high; with a backhand push, Tiga fell to the ground again.
After creating some distance, Tiga crossed his arms and launched his ultimate attack—the Zepellion Ray!
boom!
The white beam of light struck Silvergon squarely in the chest. The smoke cleared… Silvergon patted his chest; he was completely unharmed!
[Holy crap! A direct hit from an ultimate attack? How are we supposed to fight this?!]
[This defense is insane!]
Just when the audience was in despair, the style of the scene suddenly changed.
Silvergon seemed to find this move quite interesting, and even imitated Tiga, laboriously crossing his two short, thick claws together, assuming a posture for firing beams.
Tiga was stunned. He switched to his red power form and assumed a fighting stance.
Hilbargon also adopted a fighting stance.
[Pfft—Hahahaha!]
Is it mocking? It's definitely mocking!
[Why does this monster look kind of cute?]
[Her learning ability is off the charts!]
Tiga rushed up and tried to ride on the monster to subdue it, but was thrown off again.
Before he could even regain his footing, he was whipped to the ground by Silvergon's tail. At that moment, the color timer on Tiga's chest began flashing red lights frantically.
At this critical moment, Horii finally remembered something and shouted through the megaphone, "Daigo! Tiga! Its weakness is its eyesight! It can't see stationary objects!"
That's it!
At the critical moment, Tiga froze instantly, standing still like a wooden figure.
Having lost its target, Hilbargon roared angrily in place, frantically destroying the surrounding trees. Its large, bewildered eyes darted around, and its comical appearance made the audience laugh.
Just as Silvergon turned his back to Tiga...
The opportunity is coming!
Tiga leaped up and delivered a powerful Ultra Kick to Silvergon's back, knocking him to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Tiga grabbed Silvergon's legs and used a shocking move called "Upside Down," shoving Silvergon headfirst into the mud!
Hilbargon's legs thrashed helplessly in the air.
This is not over yet!
Ultraman Tiga took a step back, his entire body transforming into a golden streak of light. He concentrated his energy in his fist and charged at Silvergon's unsuspecting abdomen at an extremely high speed—Ultraman Thousand Years of Death!
boom--!!!
This attack pierced right through Silvergon's defenses.
With a tremendous explosion, the monster with invincible defenses finally turned into countless fragments.
What an ugly way to win...
[We won! That tactic... was so underhanded, hahaha!]
[Upside-down jump followed by Thousand Years of Death, Ultraman Tiga, you know how to do combos!]
Although we won, Silvergon is incredibly strong; his defense is insane!
The battle ended, and the rainbow barrier dissipated.
Inside the somewhat dilapidated family car, the father gripped the steering wheel tightly, his brow beaded with sweat, but the look in his eyes as he gazed at his wife and children in the rearview mirror was more resolute than ever before.
The car crashed through the barrier.
Sunlight streamed through the car windows, and behind them, the once terrifying rainbow barrier transformed into specks of light, converging in the sky to form a real, magnificent rainbow.
Ultraman Tiga's enormous body stood tall in the setting sun, slowly nodded to the family, and then flew into the sky.
As the ending theme "Ultraman Forever" played, many audience members stopped to watch, waiting for the music to continue.
The series has ended.
