Filling Smoke

Filling Smoke (滿ちる煙 Mitsuru chiru Kemuri) is the eighty-second chapter of ULTRAMAN by Eichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi.
== Synopsis ==
Nova escapes. Edo is the supreme chancellor of the Star Cluster Council.
== Plot ==
Moments after an initial knock-out, Nova is spitting red smoke again. Red thinks Nova is pretending and notices something strange about Astra's face. Adad walks up from behind and says he gave Astra the remaining Dark Star Drugs because they need all the help they can get. The Leo Brothers are determined to take Nova down now, while not a minute earlier, they said that going against the Star Cluster Council was a bad idea. Even though they were hitmen for the Council, they were never loyal enough to be eliminated if the Council marked them for elimination. Their loyalty can be bought as long as they get paid.
Shinjiro notices a problem: as long as Nova keeps spitting red smoke, he and Dan cannot get near it. But soon, it becomes apparent that the red smoke acts like a temporary jammer, and its effects wear off after a while. Dan devises a plan while Nova is still down: when Dan gives the word, Shinjiro will fire a maximum-power Spacium Beam at its head. If not lethal, the blast should be powerful enough to blow the smoke away. That is when the rest of the team strikes. The plan goes into action, and, on Dan's command, Shinjiro removes his limiter and fires the Spacium beam at maximum output. It obliterates a large chunk of Nova's head, and the rest of the team jumps up to finish the job. But suddenly, Nova disappears, leaving a ruined Hong Kong in its wake.
Ubarazu has recalled Nova per someone's orders. His superior, wearing a suit with the SSSP Meteor logo, says the Council's handling of the situation was too excessive. Ubarazu fears they risk exposure if the SSSP captures the Leo Brothers. But his superior assures him that the Leo Brothers' information will not be enough to undermine the Council's control. Ubarazu sees his point and complies with the supreme chairman, Edo...
