==Synopsis==
After robbing a communicator, Jack and Red learn of the secrets of the true culprit behind the serial murder cases, Alien Igaru. 
==Plot==
Floating in the air and cheered on by the public, Shinjiro still does not know what is going on. Observing the scene, Edo praises the result and orders Dan to lock down and clean up the area with his team. Shinjiro wonders if this is the real power of Ultraman. He reaffirms his elimination target Red and prepares to fire the Spacium Beam. The latter put up his right arm to block the beam. Just as Shinjiro is about to fire, Jack appears in front of Red and admits defeat. To everyone's surprise, Jack says that the test yielded unexpected results. Shinjiro's new ability to fly outclasses Red by a long shot. Shinjiro cannot believe it, but the fight ends.
Sometime later, Jack and Red are waiting in the closed museum hall of the SSSP HQ. Jack is a little angry at Red for nearly causing casualties while the latter responds that he only did what he was asked and questioned at the beginning if this is alright. Red also feels his body is aching after transforming back from his monster form. Ide arrives and apologizes for keeping them waiting. He tells the two that they have analyzed the communicator that the two robbed off a middleman. The result is a new culprit for the serial murders. However, it was not easy, as the communicator used a special frequency and a firewall. Ide shows them the resulting footage, and Red recognizes the alien in the footage: Alien Igaru of the former Planet Igaru Royalty and its only survivor. He is getting beaten up in the footage. The assailants show him a video of Shinjiro flying and ask him how Ultraman keeps getting stronger. They force him to hand over his communicator, saying they will issue a direct order next.
Shinjiro, having flashbacks and looking at his hands, jumps over buildings at night and wonders what will happen to him...
