==History==
===Ultraman Blazar===
As the chemical storage tanks containing the new energy source "Teaterium" in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States were emptied overnight, SKaRD suspected that the monster with the codename "Taganular" was likely responsible. To prevent the monster from reaching Japan, SKaRD's Emi went undercover as a newcomer and headed to the Teaterium Energy Fusion Institute to investigate the intelligence.
When Emi asked Okawa how Taganular could move from one place to another, Okawa exaggeratedly suggested possibilities like flying or burrowing into the ground. He also stated that Teaterium itself is a completely ordinary substance, but when energy continuously fuses, it generates a large amount of heat. Therefore, Emi speculated that the Taganular had increased its energy extraction in various locations before, deducing that it was growing and generating energy through fusion with Teaterium.
Soon after, Taganular, with a massive amount of accumulated energy and nearing a critical point, arrived in Japan and attacked the research institute. Emi hurriedly escorted Okawa, who was in shock, away from the scene. Observing the rising temperature inside Taganular, Okawa indicated that energy fusion was being triggered and tried to urge Taganular to stop, but without success. Subsequently, he expressed confusion about contacting Emi and the unit, and was astonished to witness Earth Garon descending for combat.
Later, he and Emi witnessed the battle between Ultraman Blazar and Taganular, and watched in awe as Blazar departed.
Subsequently, he was interviewed by multiple media outlets regarding this incident. According to TKB journalist Reiko, he expressed excitement during the interview as he described the Earth Garon emitting a beam of light from its mouth.
