Ultraman: Tiga (1996–1997): Season 1, Episode 2 - Ishi no shinwa - full transcript
Quietly, the morning light envelopes the land,
As always, the sun rises...
Since long ago it continues, in a cycle of repetition that we are living in.
Standing against today's invisible wind,
Trying to forever protect that smile...
Wanna take you, baby, take me higher
Embrace love now
Gonna TIGA! Take me, take me higher,
Embrace courage with strength
Wanna take you, baby, take me higher
You'll definitely reach your goal
Gonna TIGA! Take me, take me higher
Believe in your fierce beat...
02 - "The Legend of the Stone"
Gakuma! Gakuma! Gakuma is after us!
What's the point of you
even being here?
If you can't even explain
what's going on?
We're still investigating.
We're saying...
At least tell us what's
happening in there.
We've lost men, you know!
Nothing there?
That's impossible.
We're reading the strongest
life signs from that area.
There may be something
embedded within the stone.
Roger.
-You two.
-Yes.
Over there.
Roger.
Oh, Director.
So what is all of this?
Please be patient, everyone.
The investigation is still under way.
-They must all be dead.
-All turned to stone by Gakuma.
-Gakuma?
-Yes.
What's going on here?
No hanging around,
when there's work to be done!
What is this Gakuma I hear about?
This very Kurara Island
is home to Gakuma,
a monster that creates stones.
That's enough of that!
I don't know what
brought you here,
but this is no business
for The Peace on earth Coalition.
And you, this story about Gakuma
is all lies! And it--
-Gakuma truly does exist!
-Yes, it does!
Nonsense!
What a pathetic excuse
to get out of working!
No, we're not lying!
Hey! What is it?
Harada!
-A stone-eating monster?
-Yes.
Humans mined too deeply, leaving
no animals for Gakuma to prey on.
Then to top it off, men mined out the
stone stockpiles Gakuma had stored up.
Gakuma got angry and finally
began to attack human--
Who are you to play innocent?
You're human too. How would you
make your living if not by mining?
Hey!
Are you okay?
Hang in there! Hey!
Hey! Where are the others?
A monster...
A monster turned them all to stone!
It's Gakuma.
I knew it. Gakuma is real!
These are the surveillance photos
taken of Tiga from above.
Neither sonar nor heat-sensors were
able to detect any signs of Golza.
This is an emergency announcement.
A monster has appeared on Kurara
Island, in the southwest archipelago.
It seems several miners have
already become casualties.
Is it Golza?
No. It appears to be
a different monster.
A different monster?
The monster has remained
rather tame so far,
but we can't afford
any more casualties.
But GUTS isn't at all prepared
to face a monster!
I realize that. So...
I need you to retrofit GUTS vehicles
with weaponry for battle.
Get on this immediately.
Yes, sir.
All members report
to the control room.
All members report
to the control room.
And so preparations began to equip
GUTS vehicles for fighting monsters.
We just need to modify the Gutswings
so that they can be equipped
with weapons.
From a safety standpoint,
wouldn't it be better to create
new vehicles from scratch?
We could never create anything
superior to the Gutswings.
Look at the facts.
Only our Gutswings will be a match
for those monsters!
I'll help, Doctor!
I'll work around the clock
if necessary.
-Doctor!
-Please.
Thank you for coming.
What's the situation?
Yes. Three miners and three
of our investigators are missing.
Have any of you actually
seen this Gakuma?
Yes. It's a large stone-like monster.
Oh! With one big horn!
Old pal, are you blind?
Gakuma has two horns!
That's right. It has two.
What are you talking about?
Gakuma has one horn.
-So no one has actually seen it?
-No.
It was only a matter of seconds
between when the light
on his chest started flashing
and when he defeated Melba.
It seems the Titan
can only remain active
on the earth for about three minutes.
How can you be so certain?
When Golza made its escape,
the Titan didn't give chase.
Or should I say couldn't?
At first the stripes on its body
were red and purple.
When purple becomes red
Tiga can wield the most power.
Then why doesn't he
remain red all along?
I asked myself the same thing.
Though he's more powerful here,
he can't move as quickly.
On the other hand...
When he turns all purple,
he moves much more quickly,
but exhibits less power.
When all red, he can inflict
the most damage on an enemy.
Because Melba was
a weaker opponent,
he was able to defeat it
in purple mode.
I see.
The Titan is able to adapt his body
to his enemies' characteristics.
General!
All right. Detonate!
Unbelievable.
The last remaining question is,
why only that one Titan
was reawakened.
My children--
I managed to get the message
to replay,
but still can't repair
the missing audio.
There is but one way
to resurrect the Titan.
Daigo must become light.
See? We still can't restore
the most important part.
There is but one way
to resurrect the Titan.
Daigo must become light.
"Daigo must become light."
"Dai... Big..." Curry?
-I guess it's time for lunch.
-Yeah.
Large size?
My treat. What do you say?
Daigo.
Otherwise known as Ultraman Tiga.
Aren't you just a hologram?
This is a hologram,
but one instilled
with artificial intelligence.
Why am I the only one
who can hear your voice?
-Because you are Ultraman Tiga.
-No! I'm me.
I'm not Ultraman Tiga!
In your DNA,
the essence of a great
ancient warrior is encoded.
What do you mean?
The very Spark Lance that you hold
is the greatest proof that you are
the hero, Ultraman Tiga.
Who needs this?
It doesn't make sense.
If your civilization was so advanced,
what happened to all of you anyway?
Some perished,
while others left for distant shores.
Even all of those Titans
were unable to protect you?
Ultramen never interfere
in the decisions of man
because they are beings of light.
But you, Daigo, are special.
You are a being both of light
and of flesh.
Sorry that took so long.
What's this?
Is this yours, Daigo?
Give it here!
It's mine.
All GUTS members,
depart immediately.
All GUTS members,
depart immediately.
This is an emergency.
There is no time.
Impossible.
You said it's an emergency, but
the Gutswings are still in pieces.
Can't you wait until
reconstruction is completed?
They're not completed,
but if one ship is enough...
-Stay out of this.
-It will be fine.
And we've replaced the signal
flares with laser cannons.
Thank goodness. Please send it.
It still hasn't been tested.
-I'll pilot it.
-That's the way.
Gutswing #1 preparing for takeoff.
The G's might be a little intense.
A little?
They're here.
Did you see that?
If that hits us,
we'll be turned to stone.
Look!
Firing laser cannons.
Firing laser cannons.
-Get behind the monster.
-Roger.
Rena, pull yourself together.
Come on!
Get away, hurry!
Hang in there!
It's #2! They completed retrofitting
Gutswing #2 in hyper mode!
Okay! Daigo, see how
it likes our DEXUS beam.
Roger. Firing DEXUS beam.
Good job.
Excellent work retrofitting the
vehicle this well in such short time.
If monsters keep appearing all over
the world, it will mean real trouble.
Yes. Once I return,
I'm considering positioning PCT
stations in all quarters of the earth.
In the meantime, GUTS will
keep things under control.
Well, that was a breeze.
I almost look forward to our
next meeting with a monster.
-Is this an earthquake?
-A landslide?
There are two Gakumas. So that's
what the confusion was about.
The Titan!
The Titan is here to save us.
Oh, no! The Titan is
being turned to stone!
All right! Do it!
With more research, we can make
our vehicles as strong as necessary.
But as we learned today, the real
challenge will be for you all
to keep up with and in control
of this technology.
After all, it's us,
not our technology,
that has to battle
these monsters in the end.
Right.
If the Titan hadn't turned up, we all
might have been turned to stone.
We owe that Titan a lot!
I've been thinking.
When even these monsters
have names of their own,
like Melba, Golza, and Gakuma,
it doesn't feel right to just
keep calling this hero "Titan."
He's the size of a mountain,
so what about "Mountain Gulliver? "
Mountain Gulliver.
Sounds like someone groaning
in a bathroom stall.
Um...
What about Ultraman Tiga?
I like the sound of that.
-Don't you?
-I think it's great!
I thought so.
Ultraman Tiga, because
he's a giant from Tiga.
Ultraman Tiga.
-Sounds cool.
-Right?
Tiga! I lack courage now,
Tiga! Please grant me courage!
Even if you're pretty strong,
One can not fight alone.
Even by seeking the future with strength,
One can not reach it alone.
Breaking down this sky covered by sadness,
Receiving an S.O.S., to the tomorrow that awaits you.
Tiga, it is love that is no longer necessary,
Tiga, please watch over the Earth!
