Plot Details!
The last season of Ultraman said goodbye to the fans in April 2019. The debut season narrated the story of the original Ultraman Shin Hayata. But the superhero has now grown weary of the job. It turns out that Shinjiro Hayata, Shin’s son, has acquired the superpowers of his father. He eventually becomes Ultraman and takes up the job of saving the people from alien invasions. But things escalated quickly in the previous season when Shinjiro went rogue and turned against his own father. The last episode left the fans with a jaw-dropping cliffhanger as Shin and Seiji take a missile attack on themselves.
