Since some few past battle, Ultraman has starting to get some critism on how he fight against the Kaiju. In his latest fight against Astron who gotten stronger than what it species capable of, along with two more Sadola, Ultraman are given a hard time. When suddenly the military sent a robot identical with Ultraman called the Ultroid, but it look even stronger as it feels nothing when taken damage and finish off the Kaiju even faster than Ultraman. Because of this, some people started to view Ultroid is better.

One Month Later...

In just a month, Ultroid's popularity has risen just by defeating many Kaiju. The way Ultroid fighting is quite controllable, and even making less damage to the surroundings than Ultraman. Knowing that Ultraman also could be an alien, they starting to change their view of him and seeing Ultroid is even better.

(Press Conference)

At a press conference in the city, Kiryu is being interviewed by multiple reporters.

"Mr. Kiryu, what can you give us about the 'Ultraman' that you and the military have created?"

Kiryu: I cannot say much. But all I can say is that this Ultraman is our best creation, and the true hero who can the hope of humanity.

"How can you say that, Mr. Kiryu? I mean, we already have an Ultraman."

Kiryu: That giant is not an Ultraman. He spar a Kaiju that should not step foot on this world.

"But they are living being. In Ultra series, some of them are not considered as threat but merely a misunderstanding."

Kiryu: Are you suspicious in my judgement? Even I watch Ultra series when I was a kid.

"N-No, sir."

Kiryu: Then that's all I can say to you all. But rest assure, our nation and our planet will be safe in the hand of our own Ultraman.

He bow before leaving the conference room, as the reporters all are trying to ask him more questions while the guards are blocking them.

(Ultra Squad Base)

The atmosphere in the base is not as calm, cheerful and nice like usual. Daiki just lying on the tatami floor, the others are feeling uncomfortable with what the media said. Kiryu even arrogantly claim that the one who has been fighting for the humanity is not the real Ultraman due being emphaty and sympotis for others.

Mitsuhide: Tch. They just keep saying whatever they wanted.

Azuma: This makes me angry! Even good Kaiju and aliens deserve to live!

Izumi: After all that Ultraman, Daiki-san, did... They just shift their change into some robot made by the military. This is very suspicious.

Laiha: ...

Daiki: ...

Mitsuhide: Hey, you two! Aren't you supposed to say anything about this?

Daiki: What's to say?

Laiha: As angry as I am, Daiki-kun's right. There's nothing we can do about this.

Izumi: Daiki-san, what will you do now? The people seems to be prefering that Ultroid.

Daiki: I'll just do what I can for now. There's no reason for me to go against the military. They choose to create a robot based on Ultraman to give people hope, to protect the humanity with their own belief and that isn't wrong.

Azuma: But I don't think letting them have that robot is a good idea! Remember what happened to Imit-Ultraman Dyna?! And Ultroid Zero!

Daiki: That is a different story. Knowing about the Ultra series, surely that Kiryu guy know and placed a fail safe to make sure it didn't get stolen or hijacked.
