Tyrant (Chapter)

is the seventeenth chapter of ULTRAMAN by Eichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi.
==Synopsis==
When Moroboshi leaves Shinjiro and Jack to carry out some business, trouble comes to the two in the form of the town's former underground fighting champion.
==Plot==
While snacking on an energy bar, Jack looks at the barcode retrieved from the victims of Alien Adacic but cannot make anything out of it, claiming he cannot help them. Jack is an informant and knows about the dark secret of this city, meaning if even he does not recognize this barcode, then there is serious trouble. But Jack did gain some information about the serial murder cases and will contact Moroboshi if he gets more. Moroboshi then asks Jack to look after Shinjiro while he attends some business.
In a rest area, Jack and Shinjiro are having lunch. Jack recognizes Shinjiro as Shin Hayata's eldest son. He claims that Shin has helped him sometime in the past and notes that Shinjiro is looking a little down. Shinjiro says he feels lost in his current situation. Jack replies that even though he does not know the burden Shinjiro shoulders, if only he can shoulder it, he does not have a choice since standing idly by is a big mistake. They are interrupted by a towering alien, which Jack identifies as the former underground fighting champion Red. Red comes for a rematch after Jack dethroned him. Jack tells Shinjiro that Red was incredibly strong and almost killed him had he not destroyed Red's right eye. Just when Jack asks Shinjiro to do him a favor as Ultraman, Red comes dangerously close.
Elsewhere, Moroboshi contacts Edo about having no leads but tells him that the range of these cases is very grave. There is bound to be trouble ahead. Just then, Shinjiro is sent flying into a wall near Moroboshi, and the latter cuts off his comms. Red expresses surprise that Shinjiro can still stand up after taking a hit from him. Shinjiro yells that even he does not know how he could and prepares to fight...
