Chapter Summaries

Captain Iruma deployed with Daigo in the new EX-J fighter Alpha while Seiya and Rena piloted Beta to fight Demon Bird Zoga. As Alpha’s weapons failed to stop the monster, Captain Iruma revealed that she knew Daigo was Tiga and urged him to transform while she protected his secret.

• Captain Iruma introduced the EX-J, which could separate into Alpha and Beta, and assigned Daigo and herself to Alpha while Seiya and Rena took Beta.
• Daigo asked to fly with Seiya instead, but Captain Iruma challenged his assumption that she would hold him back and kept the teams as assigned.
• After the EX-J separated, Alpha and Beta attacked Demon Bird Zoga, but their weapons only injured it as it continued destroying the city.
• Camilla, Hudra, and Darram watched the battle and mocked humanity’s technology, believing the Demon Bird Zogas could help them rule the world.
• Daigo hesitated to transform because he could not disguise it as a fighter crash, until Captain Iruma told him she had guessed he was Tiga and would keep his secret.
• Daigo realized Captain Iruma had paired with him to prevent Alpha from crashing, while Seiya’s identity as another Giant of Light, Hero Ultraman, remained unknown to her.

Seiya and Rena faced a Demon Bird Zoga in Shinjuku while Seiya tried to provoke it into destroying their fighter. After Zoga caught Beta, Seiya opened the cockpit and took out a badge, leaving Rena unsure what he planned to do.

• Seiya joined Rena in Beta to confront the Demon Bird Zoga, knowing Tiga could not reach all five monsters in time.
• Rena used her piloting skills to evade the faster Zoga while Seiya repeatedly fired the Super Flame Ray at its rear, enraging it.
• After more than ten minutes, Zoga hit Beta and caught it in its claws before it could crash.
• Seiya opened the cockpit and stood up, prompting Rena to prepare to jump with him.
• Seiya took a badge from his chest instead of putting on a parachute.

Seiya transformed into Hero Ultraman in front of Rena to save her and Beta, then defeated Demon Bird Zoga. After the five Zogas were killed, Camilla and the others confirmed that Tiga and Herro were the only Giants of Light left, and Camilla judged Tiga to be far weaker than Herro.

• Seiya jumped from Beta and transformed into Hero Ultraman, knocking Demon Bird Zoga back and catching the falling aircraft for Rena.
• Rena realized Seiya was Hero Ultraman and understood that he had been provoking Zoga to create a chance to transform unseen.
• Herro brutally defeated Zoga and cut it apart with an Eight-Part Light Wheel before flying to another disaster area.
• Herro and Tiga defeated the five Demon Bird Zogas, with Tiga killing the last one in Osaka using his Zeperion Ray.
• Camilla and the other two left after confirming that only Tiga and Herro remained as Giants of Light, and Camilla was surprised by Herro's strength.

After Herro effortlessly killed three Zoga, Camilla, Hudra, and Darram recognized that he might be more dangerous than Tiga. Camilla changed their plan to approach Herro as a potential ally before deciding whether to fight him.

• Herro killed three Zoga far faster and more brutally than Tiga had defeated the first two, alarming Camilla, Hudra, and Darram.
• Camilla assigned Tiga to herself and ordered Hudra and Darram to fight Herro, but both tried to avoid the match.
• Hudra proposed recruiting Herro to betray Tiga and help them confront Gatanothor.
• Camilla approved approaching Herro first and said they would follow the original plan if he refused to join them.

Seiya returned to the Victory Team and joined the hunt for Zoga Hatchlings while Rena and Captain Iruma tried to help conceal the identities of Seiya and Daigo, sparking jealousy and confusion among their teammates. Camilla overheard Seiya mention that Tiga had a new girlfriend and demanded to hear all about her.

• Rena defended Seiya and volunteered to partner with him, leaving Daigo worried that he was losing her to Seiya.
• The Victory Team continued eliminating Zoga Hatchlings, while Seiya chose to operate alone and Daigo paired with Rena.
• Captain Iruma planned to speak privately with Daigo about the Luluye Ruins, making Munakata jealous, while the others watched the confusion unfold.
• Camilla, Hudra, and Darram approached Seiya to recruit him, but Camilla became fixated on his comment about Tiga's new girlfriend.
• Camilla accused Tiga of betraying her and demanded that Seiya tell her about his current girlfriend.

Camilla, Hudra, and Darram tried to recruit Seiya to their Dark Giant alliance, but Seiya invited them to join his side instead. The insult triggered a fight, and Seiya sent Hudra flying with a single punch.

• Seiya told Camilla that Daigo and Rena had feelings for each other, and Camilla was pleased when he praised her looks over Rena's.

• Hudra and Darram attacked Seiya while Camilla lashed him with her light whip.
• Seiya met Hudra's flying kick with a punch, sending Hudra hurtling backward.

Seiya easily defeated Hudra, Darram, and Camilla, then offered them a chance to serve him. He clarified that he would not stop Camilla from seeking revenge on Tiga and wanted their help defeating Evil God Gatanothor.

• Seiya knocked Hudra away with one punch, then evaded Darram's charge and kicked him to the ground.
• Seiya used Camilla's Light Whip to pull her toward him, caught her attack, and lifted her by the throat.
• Seiya trapped Hudra and Darram in Magic Arrays and offered all three a choice between becoming his lackeys and dying.
• Camilla refused to give up her revenge against Tiga, and Seiya released her before explaining that he wanted them to help defeat Evil God Gatanothor.

Seiya persuaded Camilla, Hudra, and Darram to abandon darkness and join the Giants of Light, offering to help Camilla get revenge on Tiga. He also revealed Daigo's whereabouts, setting the trio on a path toward confronting Tiga while preparing to fight Gatanothor.

• Camilla, Hudra, and Darram questioned Seiya about his loyalty to Tiga, and Seiya explained that Tiga's betrayal of Camilla was a private matter.
• Seiya proposed that the three Dark Giants become Giants of Light so he could support their revenge against Tiga without weakening their faction.
• Hudra and Darram immediately agreed to join Seiya, while Camilla hesitated over abandoning darkness.
• Seiya provoked Camilla by mentioning Daigo and Rena's wedding, then promised to help her seek justice against Tiga.
• Seiya agreed to reveal Daigo's whereabouts as long as Camilla and the others did not kill Tiga before the battle against Gatanothor.

Seiya released Camilla, Hudra, and Darram after giving each some of his Power of Light, and Camilla explained how it could threaten or eventually transform them. Later that night, Camilla and the others set out to attack Tiga, but they first kidnapped Daigo, who recognized them.

• Seiya let Camilla, Hudra, and Darram go, giving each a share of his Power of Light.
• Camilla warned Hudra and Darram that the light within them could kill them if Seiya detonated it, and said they could become Giants of Light by overcoming their darkness.

• After the Victory Team finished working late, Daigo walked home happily after arranging a zoo date with Rena.
• Camilla and the others abducted Daigo outside his home, and he guessed their identities after hearing his captor call him Tiga.

Camilla, Hudra, and Darram abducted Daigo and whipped him over their old grievance, then let him go after threatening Rena. The next day Daigo went to Victory Base injured and told Seiya that Camilla's Trio had visited him.

• Camilla's Trio took Daigo to an abandoned warehouse, where Camilla whipped him as he protested that he would never betray humanity.
• Camilla reminded Daigo that he had stolen their powers and sealed them away thirty million years ago, then enraged him by mentioning Rena.
• Daigo begged Camilla not to hurt Rena, so Camilla ordered Hudra and Darram to bring out accessories they had found.
• Daigo woke up at his doorstep the next day and went to Victory Base to check that Rena was safe, where Seiya teased him about looking exhausted.
• After a meeting, Daigo showed Seiya his whip marks and explained that Camilla and the other two had come to find him.

Daigo asked Seiya to secretly protect Rena from Camilla and the other Dark Giants, then transformed into Tiga when they ambushed him again. He woke up badly beaten, while Seiya confirmed Rena had stayed safe and learned why the second beating had been worse.

• Daigo asked Seiya to guard Rena in secret because he feared Camilla and the others might target her.
• Seiya agreed to protect Rena, and Daigo later noticed mysterious figures following him home.
• Daigo caught Hudra's attempt to cover his head, transformed into Tiga, and fought Hudra and Darram.
• Camilla joined the fight, tripped Tiga with her Light Whip, and helped Hudra and Darram beat him before they carried him away.
• Daigo arrived at work bruised and asked Seiya whether Rena had been safe; Seiya said he had guarded her until she fell asleep.
• Daigo said Camilla had repeatedly stomped on Tiga's face after he transformed, and Seiya realized that was why the beating had been worse.

Camilla's Trio warned Seiya that Gatanothor was about to awaken and could be too powerful for him to defeat. Soon, an ionized black mist spread from the Luluye Ruins across Earth, disabling technology as Demon Bird Zogas flew toward cities around the world.

• Daigo endured another week of nightly beatings from Camilla's Trio, then noticed they had stopped pursuing him and Rena.
• Camilla's Trio told Seiya that Gatanothor was nearing awakening and that its formidable defense made it almost impossible to defeat head-on.
• Camilla's Trio explained that they had grown less hostile after discovering modern hobbies and had sought Seiya to plan for Gatanothor.
• Black mist carrying ions erupted from the Luluye Ruins and spread across the Pacific Ocean and around the globe.
• The black mist disabled electronic systems and communications, plunging cities into darkness as Demon Bird Zogas awakened and flew around the world.

After humanity launched a nuclear strike on the Luluye Ruins, the blast awakened the evil god Gatanothor, the Dark Ruler behind the global monster attacks. The Victory Team faced the colossal creature as Seiya warned that humanity’s weapons could not defeat it.

• Director Sawai sent the Victory Team to restore power at the disabled Sea Base and rescue its missing staff so humanity could recover its combat equipment.
• Sawai revealed that the higher-ups planned to nuke the Luluye Ruins, and Seiya warned that the strike would awaken the far more dangerous Gatanothor.
• Rena and Captain Iruma urged Sawai to stop the nuclear attack, but a tremor and a mushroom cloud showed that the strike had already occurred.
• Gatanothor emerged from the Pacific Ocean, and Seiya told the shocked Victory Team that the visible portion was only part of the over-200-meter Dark Ruler.

Seiya warned the Victory Team that Gatanothor’s immense size and durability made it a threat that even Tiga and Herro might not defeat. Daigo transformed into Tiga to defend Earth, but his opening barrage barely scratched the monster.

• Horii compared Gatanothor’s height with Tiga’s and Herro’s, while Seiya explained that the Dark Ruler had destroyed the Super Ancient Civilization and was beyond ordinary Giants of Light.
• Seiya said Herro could potentially match Gatanothor but lacked a decisive attack to overcome its nearly invulnerable shell.
• Seiya told Daigo he planned to return to the Luluye Ruins and left Gatanothor to him.
• Daigo chose to defend Earth despite Captain Iruma warning him that the fight seemed unwinnable, then transformed into Tiga as people around the world cheered.
• Tiga rushed Gatanothor and struck its shell with a series of punches, but his attacks only produced sparks and scratches.

Tiga struggled against Gatanothor’s overwhelming attacks while the Victory Team learned that Seiya was Hero and asked him for help. Seiya said he could not intervene yet but had found helpers, who appeared before Captain Iruma and Rena as the Three Dark Giants.

• Gatanothor endured Tiga’s DeLaram Light Stream and trapped him in powerful black mist that drained his strength.
• Rena told Captain Iruma that Seiya was Hero Ultraman and had transformed in front of her.
• Captain Iruma’s group used Krismaya’s telepathy to contact Seiya, who said he had found helpers for Tiga but could not come himself.
• Camilla and the other two appeared, claimed they were Seiya’s helpers, and transformed into the Three Dark Giants.

Camilla, Hudra, and Darram joined Tiga against Gatanothor, but the monster overwhelmed them and turned Tiga to stone before throwing him into the sea. Pinned beneath Gatanothor’s tentacles, Camilla’s group feared Seiya had deceived them, just as a miracle began to happen.

• Captain Iruma and Rena realized Seiya had persuaded the Dark Giants to join his side, while Daigo feared Camilla’s group had come to attack Tiga.
• Camilla used her light whip to restrain Gatanothor’s tentacle, allowing Tiga to escape the black mist.
• Darram and Hudra attacked Gatanothor as Tiga and Camilla fired their finishing beams together, but the monster emerged unharmed and sent the three Dark Giants flying.
• Gatanothor pierced Tiga with a dark purple beam, turned him to stone, and threw him into the deep sea.
• Camilla, Hudra, and Darram were pinned beneath Gatanothor’s tentacles and blamed Seiya for sending them into the battle before a miracle occurred.

As the Light of Hope gathered inside Tiga, Gatanothor tried to destroy his statue before he could revive. Seiya arrived in his Shining Herau form, saved Tiga from the attack, and restored Camilla and the other two as Giants of Light.

• Children around the world sent their Light of Hope to Tiga, giving Daigo the strength to reach for it from inside his crystal.
• Camilla and the other two tried to stop Gatanothor, but it drained their dark power and turned them to stone.
• Gatanothor fired at Tiga just as Daigo was close to breaking free, but Seiya emerged from the Luluye Ruins and kicked it several kilometers away.
• Seiya gave Camilla and the other two more Power of Light, reviving them as Giants of Light.
• Camilla and the others realized Seiya had kept his promise, while his Shining Herau form drew its power from the remains of the ancient Giants of Light.

Seiya used the Ancient Battlefield’s stored Power of Light to become Shining Herau, while Tiga revived as Shining Tiga to fight Gatanothor. The two golden Giants overwhelmed the evil god, with Camilla’s Trio joining in as Gatanothor struggled against Shining Herau’s immense strength.

• Seiya gathered the heroic spirits of the Ultra-Ancient Warriors at the Ancient Battlefield, and they entrusted their Power of Light to him.
• Seiya transformed into the 130-meter Shining Herau, and Gatanothor tried to flee into the sea until Shining Tiga revived and struck it.
• Shining Herau and Shining Tiga attacked Gatanothor together while Camilla’s Trio, now Giants of Light, joined the fight.
• Camilla’s Trio took the opportunity to kick Gatanothor despite dealing little damage, while Gatanothor found Shining Herau’s strength overwhelming.

Shining Herro and Shining Tiga fought Gatanothor, with Seiya lifting the 200,000-ton monster out of the sea and helping destroy it. Gatanothor’s defeat cleared the black mist from the world, and the ancient warriors’ light departed from Seiya.

• Shining Tiga blocked Gatanothor’s Petrification Piercing Ray with the Shining Zeperion Ray, while Gatanothor tried to retreat into the sea.
• Gatanothor wrapped its tentacles around Seiya and attempted to drag him underwater, but Seiya lifted the monster out of the sea and hurled it into the air.
• Seiya, Tiga, Camilla, and the others combined their finishing beams and blasted Gatanothor apart.
• The light from Gatanothor’s destruction dispersed the global black mist, and the Luluye Ruins sank beneath the sea.
• Shining Herro and Shining Tiga returned to their original sizes, while the ancient warriors’ light left Seiya and vanished.

After Gatanothor's defeat, Daigo and Seiya reflected on losing their powers and revealed their choices to the Victory Team. Years later, Camilla pursued Seiya, only to find herself competing with Mayumi and Maya.

• Daigo accepted that he might never transform into Tiga again and resolved to protect humanity as an ordinary person.
• Seiya told Daigo he was content to lose his powers, then recalled how Herro had chosen him after he redirected his crashing aircraft to spare a mother and daughter.
• The Victory Team reunited with Seiya and Daigo, and Shinjyo confronted Seiya for hiding his identity as Hero Ultraman.
• Daigo married Rena, while Camilla settled on Earth and became a successful fashion designer.
• Camilla fell for Seiya after seeing him defeat Gatanothor, but discovered that Mayumi and Maya were also rivals for his affection.
