Shoot the Infiltrator! (潜入者を撃て!, Sennyūsha o Ute!) is the eighth episode of Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey.[1]

Synopsis[]

When Haruna is kidnapped by an Alien Zarab, the Alien disguises himself as her to infiltrate the Pendragon to kill their Reionyx aboard it. But does he know who the right person is?

Summary[]

Hyuga and Rei have returned to the Gostar Dragon to dismantle the ship, planning to use its spare parts for the Pendragon should there be an emergency (now that the Pendragon is on Hammer and is fully operational, the Gostar Dragon was deemed a lost cause). With the necessary parts needed from the Pendragon's engine, Haruna takes the Gostar Speeder to transport the parts back to the Pendragon. Meanwhile in a farther off location on Hammer, an Alien Zarab is seen collecting several Battle Nizers as trophies from aliens he had presumably defeated sometime before. During the alien's gloat, he notices Haruna in her Speeder and he ambushes her, knocking her out. Time passes and Haruna awakens to find herself strapped to Alien Zarab's Special Constructing Tape, with the alien holding her hostage and demanding she reveal who the Reiblood she's associated with. When Haruna refuses to comply however, the alien prepares his next trick: disguising himself as her. With the real Haruna unable to help, Zarab-Haruna goes off to the Pendragon to find the Reiblood he's after.

Meanwhile back on the Pendragon, Oki and Kumano are awaiting the arrival of Haruna to begin unloading the Gostar Dragon's parts, with Oki elated to receive a toy of Alien Zarab to use for his modeling and research. Sometime later, Alien Zarab arrives at the Pendragon, with his disguise successfully fooling both Kumano and Oki. Shortly after arriving though, the alien's plan hits a snag when Hyuga messages "Haruna" that she left behind her most "prized possession," (her personal make-up Compact.) Unable to discipher what Hyuga's talking about and unable to get Kumano and Oki to tell him what it is, Alien Zarab panics and feigns being ill so as to not blow his cover. After being taken to the Pendragon's Medical Bay, the alien's suspicions begin to rise when Oki mentions that he is looking for his Alien Zarab toy, to which he mistakes that he is onto him. Sneaking out of the Medical Bay, the alien sneaks into Oki's room (which is filled with toys, models, and other memorabilia on the various ultra monsters) where his suspicions reach its maximum when he sees the data on his race's species on Oki's laptop.

Alien Zarab quickly becomes paranoid when he overhears Oki and Kumano talking about how Oki also killed an Alien Guts and an Alien Zetton as well (unaware that the two of them are playing a video game.) Fearing what he could do to him, Alien Zarab plans to destroy the Pendragon's engine instead. Before he can do so however, he is caught by Oki and Kumano, who insists that "she" still take her medicine (still under the impression that she's still sick). Believing that the medicine is actually poison, the alien flees the Pendragon and runs for his life. Outside however, Alien Zarab is confronted by none other than the real Haruna. (During her imprisonment, Alien Zarab's tape was broken after it was exposed to Haruna's tears.) The rest of the ZAP SPACY crew (including Rei and Hyuga, who arrived just as the alien was fleeing for his life) arrive at the confrontation and they notice the two Harunas together.

Zarab-Haruna pleads Oki to kill Haruna, still under the belief that he is the Reiblood. However, the ZAP SPACY knows who the real Reiblood is, thus with Alien Zarab revealing himself to them, the ZAP SPACY turn to face the alien and open fire. Suddenly as they do, Alien Zarab sheds his disguise and transforms even further, into Imitation Ultraman. Fortunately, Rei is already with the crew, and he summons Gomora to fight back. Despite trying his best to fight back against the stronger monster, (and even managing to briefly fool Gomora by attempting, and failing, to perform a Specium Ray), none of Imitation Ultraman's attacks work, and with a livid Haruna assisting Gomora as well for being captured by the alien earlier, Alien Zarab is no match for both of them, and the Imitation finally turns back into the alien's true form after a relatively short battle. Greatly embarrassed for assuming Oki was the Reiblood and hurting for his fight with Gomora, Alien Zarab flees the scene, vowing vengeance against the ZAP SPACY Crew.

With Alien Zarab gone, Rei finally returns Haruna's Compact back to her, and the rest of the ZAP SPACY looks back on today's strange events with surprise and humor, all while Rei and a physically exhausted Oki unload the Gostar Dragon's parts from before.

Notes[]

  • When Alien Zarab fantasizes Kumano as a Reiblood and using Galberos as his monster of choice, this is an in-joke at the fact that Mitsutoshi Shundo, the actor who plays Kumano in the Ultra Galaxy series also played the role of Shinya Mizorogi, the human form of Dark Mephisto in Ultraman Nexus. Fittingly, during Nexus's syndication, Dark Mephisto does summon Galberos at one point in the series.
  • During the "Mega Monster Battle File" segment at the end of the episode, when Kumano and Oki do a thumbs-up gesture and saying "Nice! Guys!" This could be a possible nod to Tsuburaya Productions' Stage Show Performances, where Ultramen Zearth and Nice tend to make similar poses and catchphrases while performing.

Errors[]

  • At one point during Haruna's attempts to get back to the Pendragon while trapped in Alien Zarab's tape, she hits her body again the rock formation she's next to, causing the scenery to jiggle from the impact she makes.
