Qualifications for Freedom

Qualifications for Freedom (自由への資質 Jiyū e no Shishitsu) is the ninety-eighth chapter of ULTRAMAN by Eichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi.
== Synopsis ==
The Ultramen rapidly deal with the imposters.
== Plot ==
Having permanently lost their minds, the completely berserk aliens go on a rampage in the city, wrecking cars and buildings. The Ultramen quickly divide the targets between them. The Leo Brothers take on Alien Zarab, Kotaro exacts vengeance on Alien Adacic, and Bemular faces the remaining octopus-like alien. Unbeknownst to them, Maki is secretly observing the entire battle in his surveillance room. One of his subordinates asks him if their mission has any meaning when something like this happens routinely. Watching Mephisto's disk-shaped ship disappear, Maki hopes this has some purpose. He puts another cigarette into the ashtray.
Flying down a building, Shinjiro grabs Shin and Dan by their arms and performs a circular aerial maneuver. He throws them at a low height, and they land safely on the battlefield. Shinjiro teams up with the Leo Brothers and wants to make up for his late arrival with his fighting. Kotaro dodges Adacic's pincer with a backflip and sees Dan arriving behind him, asking if Adacic has been impersonating him. After Kotaro confirms the target, Dan combines his two Eye Sluggers into one and readies himself. The Leo Brothers kick Zarab into the air and call for Shinjiro, and Kotaro calls for Dan while burning Adacic's pincers. Shin and Bemular's combined Spacium Beams detonate the octopus-like alien, Shinjiro's Spacium Beam obliterates Zarab mid-air, and Dan slices Adacic in half vertically. As the aliens explode, the observing Seiji breathes a sigh of relief but is disappointed he did not participate in the fight. Adad encourages him, saying fighting at the frontlines is not the only way to contribute. Seeing the Ultramen's victory, the crowd bursts out cheering and Seiji lies down in exhaustion. Adad mumbles that he likes this lifestyle...
