Turn for the Worse

is the eighth chapter of ULTRAMAN by Eichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi.
==Synopsis==
As Edo wishes to make the existence of the new Ultraman known to the public, a SSSP member takes over a case of serial murders from the police. 
==Plot==
At night, the police investigate an apartment where its occupier, 21-year-old freelancer Takeo Ichikawa, was murdered. All the recent serial murders, this case being the fifth, happened with a loud explosive sound during the night. Two police investigators ponder how they could be murdered to such an extent that the only remains are a large blood splat.
In class, Shinjiro thinks about Edo's request of how the world needs a new deterrent, a.k.a. Ultraman, against aliens as soon as possible. Then, his friends walk in. Shinjiro calls them out for leaving him to rescue that high school girl alone. His friends give him an insincere apology and quickly leave.
At another murder scene, the Alien Igaru blends in with the crowd that has gathered there. Inside, police investigator Endo's partner points out that the latest victim was also on the blog of pop idol Rena Sayama. Suddenly, a group of men wearing the SSSP insignia enters the room. The glasses-wearing leader of the group tells the two that the investigation of these serial murders is under their jurisdiction now. He introduces himself as SSSP member "Moroboshi."
Shinjiro is looking at his hand when the delinquent whose leg he accidentally snapped a while ago comes his way. As soon as the delinquent recognizes him, he makes a run for it, leaving a guilty-feeling Shinjiro. At night, Ide asks over the comms if Shinjiro is ready to begin testing the suit. Shinjiro replies that he is not yet sure about whether to become Ultraman or not. Ide says he understands Shinjiro's feelings but starts the suit test anyways...
