The premise

Another being from Nebula M-78, identical to the original Ultraman, combines with car racer-turned-MAT patrol member Hideki Gô, and fights assorted menaces in a frightening new "Age of Monsters."

Horror Vault's take

A new giant warrior from the distant Nebula M-78 merges with a young car racer drafted into an elite monster-fighting patrol, thrusting him into a relentless war against colossal threats. Each week brings a terrifying new kaiju menace to Japan, testing the limits of both human courage and alien power. This classic tokusatsu series blends superhero spectacle with creature-feature dread, cementing itself as a cornerstone of the Ultraman legacy.
