Hellfire (業火 Gōka) is the fifty-eighth chapter of ULTRAMAN by Eichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi.
== Synopsis ==
Dan keeps training. David gets killed by aliens, and Kotaro unlocks his flame state.
== Plot ==
Dan is exhausted from his training but wants to keep going, against the advice of chief Fuji. He tells Fuji he has been dreaming about his childhood lately and sees this as a sign of mental weakness. Fuji gives in and allows Dan to train further with two Spacium Swords.
In NYC, a serial murderer named "Walter Brown" has barricaded himself and several hostages inside a diner and refuses to communicate with the police. Suddenly, something from the sky slams into the roof of the restaurant. After a brief struggle inside, the incapacitated criminal flies out of the diner, and the unharmed hostages all exit. Kotaro saves the day again and leaps away. David, watching the live footage from his phone, remarks how Kotaro is getting quite good at this. Then, the car door opens, and David is shocked it is not Kotaro returning.
Moments later, Kotaro returns and finds the van David is supposed to be in empty. Men with glowing eyes surround him from all sides, and an Alien Druz throws a captured David on the ground, holding a gun to his head. Druz tells Kotaro not to move and asks if he is an Ultraman. Kotaro replies he is just a human on Dark Star Drugs. He demands they let David be, but Druz refuses, claiming he knows too much and has seen his face. Kotaro rushes to save him, but a man hits him on the back with a large stick. The rest kicks and beats him bloody, and Druz announces they have interfered with the noble plan of the Star of Darkness, a mortal sin. Kotaro offers to take the blame, but David stops him, again telling him there will always be a price to pay. Subsequently, Druz shoots David's head with his gun, blasting it to bits, and orders to kill Kotaro too. Furious, Kotaro's body begins smoking and erupts into flames. An explosion creates a crater, and Kotaro emerges from it as a flame-like entity...
