Curse

is the twentieth chapter of ULTRAMAN by Eichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi.

==Plot==
Shinjiro comes home, and Shin calls him over. Meanwhile, at the site of the latest serial murder, Endo and Kurata initiate their plan to lure the serial killer to them. Kurata is mentally unable to write an insulting comment to a girl in her prime. Endo also refuses to write something insulting to his daughter. Kurata reacts in surprise in hearing that Rena Sayama is Endo's daughter, though Endo is more concerned about taking his personal feelings into his job. 
Unbeknownst to them, the SSSP is eavesdropping on them. Edo comments that Endo has no choice but to do it if the life of his daughter is at risk. To prevent the situation from getting out of hand, Ide proposes to stop them at once, but Edo wants to use them instead. He says that the two picked a perfect spot for an ambush by positioning themselves in an abandoned area, meaning the two know what they are doing. Moroboshi advises against sending Shinjiro. Wanting to prevent future victims, Edo plans to capture the culprit the next time he moves.
Shinjiro is not sure whether he should kill all the aliens with his given powers. Not too long ago, he still lived a normal life. Suddenly, everything is revealed to him. He starts being Ultraman and kills actual aliens. When he thinks about never being able to return to his normal life, he feels incredibly afraid. Shin tells him that only he possesses that which the world needs, although he finds that this is inappropriate for a father-son talk. He also never imagined he would be fighting aliens again in his 60s, far beyond his prime. Shin admits that he cordially wished that Shinjiro could be happy in normal life, but his curse, called "Ultraman" does not allow that. Shinjiro is bewildered that something like Ultraman could be a curse.
Back at the abandoned apartment, Endo and Kurata are starting to doubt whether the alien culprit will show up. They still discuss the details of the ambush just in case. Then, someone comes up the stairs and blows open the lock. The two quickly emerge from their hiding spots and aim their pistols at the culprit. But surprisingly, it was a completely different alien, an Alien Bris. The two open fire on him, but the bullets bounce off the alien's hard exoskeleton. The Alien charges his shockwave launchers on his palms to kill them, but a trio of flying projectiles with a similar shape to the Eye Slugger fly into the room and interrupt the Alien's attack. The Alien jumps through the window and lands on the street below. A person in the distance expresses his surprise that the recent serial murderer is just an illegal alien immigrant. The person walks into the light, revealing an Ultraman Suit and his name: Dan Moroboshi, also an Ultraman...
