While Ultraman Blazar continues to protect Earth from Kaiju and other threats, he is preparing to make a heroic leap onto the pages of manga, thanks to a new series in Televi-Kun’s Superhero Comics.
In a new announcement from Shigekatsu Ihara, a brand-new Ultraman Blazar manga series debuted in the pages of Shogakukan’s Televi-Kun Superhero Comics magazine.
The series made its debut in this week’s Televi-Kun magazine, shortly after the premiere of Episode Eight of the television series. The manga is drawn by Shigekatsu Ihara (Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, Pokemon Emerald Challenge! Battle Frontier, Duel Jack!!) with the original story from Tsuburaya Productions and cooperation with Televi-Kun Editorial’s Shinji Oishi. The first chapter is available on the Televi-Kun website.
Ultraman Blazar was the first series in the franchise to have an English Dub to be released simultaneously online, both on the Official Ultraman YouTube Channel and Ultraman Connection. It is also broadcast on TV Tokyo Network on six stations in Japan.
Established in 1966 by nations all around the world in response to the worldwide outbreak of kaiju disasters, the Global Guardian Force (GGF) deals with kaiju and extraterrestrial life forms’ attacks on Earth.
Today, Earth sees continued destruction of nature and a rapid rise in global warming. One night, a space crustacean kaiju Bazanga appears. The GGF’s cleanup operation is unsuccessful, and the special forces led by Gento Hiruma find themselves in a desperate situation. This is when a mysterious giant emerges from the light. It is the unidentified humanoid alien that has been rumored among astronauts for decades, code-named “Ultraman.”
Later, Gento is summoned to the command center, where he is officially appointed as the commander of SKaRD, short for Special Kaiju Reaction Detachment. A team that had been secretly formed, he would lead a special unit that pilots a giant kaiju-type robot artillery, Earth Garon, to respond to kaiju disasters. While Gento is ordered to investigate the Ultraman from the Battle of Bazanga to determine whether it is a threat that needs to be eliminated or not, he has a flashback of a faraway galaxy—a shred of memory of a Blazar.
