Ultraman
Protector of the Universe.
On TBS
A foundational tokusatsu hero series where a man merged with an alien protector fights giant monsters and alien threats through transformation and martial prowess, balancing investigation and spectacle across 39 episodic adventures.
Hayata is a member of the Science Patrol, an organization tasked with investigating bizarre anomalies. He is mortally wounded when accidently encountering an alien being from Land of Light, who grants Hayata new life as the two are merged into one. Now, whenever a threat arises that is too great for the Science Patrol to handle, Hayata activates the beta capsule and becomes the hero known as Ultraman.
