In the current era, where environmental destruction and global warming are rapidly progressing, one night, the space crustacean monster, Bazanga, appears.
The Earth Defense Force’s extermination operation struggles, and the special forces led by Hilma Gent fall into a desperate crisis. At that moment, a mysterious giant descends with a dazzling light. It is the unidentified large-scale space being rumored among astronauts for decades, codenamed “Ultraman.” Subsequently, Gent, who is summoned to the headquarters, is suddenly given a mission. It is to assume the position of commander of the secretly organized Special Kaiju Reaction Detachment (SKaRD) and lead a special unit that confronts kaiju disasters by piloting the main giant mecha, Earth Galon.
At the same time, Gent is tasked with investigating whether the “Ultraman” that appeared in the battle against Bazanga is an enemy to be eliminated. In Gent’s mind, memories of the distant galaxy… the dazzling light of the Blazer flash. “I will go.” Captain Gent, enveloped in the light of the Ultraman Blazer, now embarks on the new days of battle with the eccentric members of the recently formed SKaRD, carrying unwavering courage and indomitable justice in his heart and pocket, against the kaiju.
