Tiga lost the battle.

This can't be happening!

Tiga! They're saying Ultraman Tiga died.
13
Well, they are wrong!
14
Kachua! Ultraman is dead!
15
No, he is not! Ultraman can't be dead!
16
What if we were to use Dr. Yao's Maxima Overdrive to bathe the statue in light?
17
I don't think simply illuminating it with actual light will solve the problem.
18
There must be something we can do!
19
If we don't, Daigo will.
20
That's the spirit. Never give up.
21
But we know virtually nothing about this stone statue.
22
There is one man who researched the dynamics of using light to transform these statues.
23
I hesitate to even mention his name.
24
Keigo Masaki.
25
It is just like in the dream.
26
Can I have a ride on this vessel of yours?
27
Who are you?
28
I'm communicating with you mentally.
29
I require your service.
30
What? We have to get to the surface.
31
You bet. Definitely.
32
I just hope Mayumi is okay.
33
Masaki, there is someone here to see you.
34
We need your help. Only someone with your knowledge can help us.
35
I don't regret what I attempted to achieve.
36
Come on, Masaki! This is your chance to make up for it all!
37
We needed a true leader who could wield light and combat the darkness covering the world.
38
But it wasn't you.
39
Perhaps... ...you are right.
40
I know you're alive, Daigo.
41
There is so much more I want to say to you.
42
I will come to help you soon.
43
Rena. We Killiealien might have saved humankind before the resurrection.
44
Are you saying we should have obeyed you?
45
It's too late now!
46
The Killiealien gods have already abandoned this planet.
47
I warned you to get rid of your prideful dream of playing guardian angel to this planet.
48
Blast! Hey.
49
Hayate! -ls the problem too big for you? -Don't say such things.
50
Where is everyone else?
51
Horii and Shinjoh pursued the monster into the sea, in the Dolfar.
52
Where is Daigo?
53
What you see there, Hayate, is Officer Daigo.
54
He is Tiga?
55
How did you find us here?

I had a very mysterious guide.
57
Oh, and I brought another guest.

Come in! Keigo Masaki!

How did you possibly get him here so fast?

The device you created in the Kumamoto caves.

The light-gene converter?

I must know the principle behind it.
63
I want to restore Tiga from stone to a living being.
64
We have the energy unit.
65
Are you certain? I had no idea!
66
Yes. It's right beneath us.
67
Your powers are incredible.
68
I have only recently begun to think of my skills as a power.
69
Goodbye. Wait! Where are you off to?
70
There is something I must do.
71
Something only I can do.
72
Will this darkness really be the end of the human race?
73
Darkness exists in the minds of us all.
74
But human minds...
75
...possess light too.
76
That is quite a parable.
77
Who did you cop it from?
78
Lay off. Don't give in. It's not over yet.
79
-Was that an angel? -Idiot!
80
Who are you?
81
Let's just say I'm someone who has come in contact with light from Daigo.
82
Something will soon reach you.
83
Your task is simply to accept and operate it.
84
What do you want us to operate?
85
Something that will allow you to supply light to the statue of Tiga.
86
Your scientific skills are beyond compare.
87
Can I go along?
88
I've only seen the light-gene converter in operation once.
89
I want to observe and adjust it personally!
90
This unit is not equipped to hold a passenger.
91
Actually, I know...
92
...I am overstepping my bounds.
93
Masaki was wrong!
94
He was searching for the future of mankind in the way he knew how.
95
Fine. You can come with us.
96
We will do all that we can. It is our only choice.
97
Governor General, we are leaving.
98
I'm counting on you.
99
GUTS, move out!
100
Yes, sir! I have a visual!
101
That is the Master of Darkness.
102
Masaki, we'll be there in moments.
103
Let's see. B-Jet here. I'm going in!
104
All right. I wanted to go myself in your place.
105
Sometimes it feels right to be on the front line.
106
Just don't hold us back.
107
I prepared this just for you!
108
This can't be!
109
Releasing the Maxima unit now!
110
All right! Good luck, Masaki!
111
Hayate, aim for where the wings join the body!
112
Sure thing, backseat driver!
113
It made it here. It actually reached us!
114
Then we weren't dreaming.
115
Inside the unit is a man called Masaki, who will operate it manually.
116
Use the Dolfar to aim the angle of irradiation toward Tiga.
117
You may be out of reach of my voice, Daigo, but I know you're alive.
118
You must become light once again.
119
Make sure you catch that!
120
Trust me! Got it!
121
Here it is.
122
The Tiga statue's coming into view.
123
Shinjoh, turn it slightly to the right.
124
That's it! Don't move from that angle.
125
That's it. We've got our wave pattern.
126
Come back, Tiga!
127
That's it! You've got to wake up, Daigo. We're sending you our light.
128
No! That evil creature is going berserk!
129
The light! No!
130
What's gone wrong?
131
No! The light's fading!
132
Apparently, the rescue operation was a failure.
133
Perhaps we all are destined for destruction.
134
Signing off.
135
Tiga! Tiga!
136
The light! It is overwhelming!
137
Tiga! The light.
138
This is the light!
139
It's Tiga! Daigo has come back!
140
Daigo! Yeah!
141
Yeah! I am Tiga!
142
I am Tiga! I've become Tiga!
143
I am a part of Tiga too.
144
Masaki! Are you all right?
145
We won. This is a victory for the entire human race.
146
There is much of humankind's future we still can't know.
147
This is only the beginning, Governor General.
148
Our work...
149
...isn't over yet.
150
Daigo! Daigo!
151
Daigo! It was your voice that I heard, Rena.
152
So you can't become Ultraman ever again?
153
Any human...
154
...has the power to become a being of light.
155
You did it yourself, didn't you?
156
I'd say it's picture time!
157
This day will go down in history.
158
Move in closer, gang.
159
<i>Tiga! Please grant me courage!</i> Yazumi, come here. That's it, Yazumi.
160
You're the photographer.
161
<i>Even if you're pretty strong,</i> Why does it always go this way?
162
Ready? Say cheese.
163
<i>One can not fight alone.</i> Cheese!
164
<i>Even by seeking the future with strength,</i> <i>One can not reach it alone.</i> <i>Breaking down this sky covered by sadness,</i> <i>Receiving an S.O.S., to the tomorrow that awaits you.</i> <i>Tiga, it is love that is no longer necessary,</i> <i>Tiga, please watch over the Earth!</i>

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
