Chapter 209 Flying Towards Tomorrow! The Final Starry Sky and Miracles!
A full week has passed since the suffocatingly despairing ending of episode 50 of "Ultraman Dyna".
Over the course of this week, the entire tokusatsu (special effects) community on the internet was like a powder keg about to explode, completely boiling over.
On major film and television forums, online communities, and Weibo supertopics, terms such as "Dyna's finale," "the oppressive feeling of Gransphia," and "Shin Asuka's ultimate fate" have almost dominated the lists with an overwhelming and domineering attitude.
Last week's plot reached a point of utter despair.
In such an extremely oppressive atmosphere, where no one dared to even breathe, the hearts of all the audience members were suspended high in the air.
Friday night, 7:50 p.m.
"Guys! This has been a tough week!"
Old Tang sat in the gaming chair.
"Today, the grand finale of Ultraman Dyna has finally arrived!"
Old Tang took a deep breath, suppressing the barely concealed tremor in his voice, and roared hoarsely into the microphone, "What kind of ending will that old scoundrel Gu give to Shin Asuka, to the Super GUTS team, and to all of humanity? All the suspense will be completely revealed tonight!"
The live stream chat exploded with a deluge of comments, scrolling wildly.
Hurry up!
[Feiniao will be alright, right? You old scoundrel Gu, if you dare to cut Feiniao, I'll follow the internet cable and bite you!]
[The series finale is over! I've got my nitroglycerin pills ready, just in case I need to save myself!]
[The Super GUTS team will definitely win! Because they are the pride of humanity, and the light of their miracle will surely shine!]
"It's here! Time's up!"
Old Tang slammed his hand hard on the F5 key of the keyboard.
The screen instantly changed. The opening theme of "Ultraman Dyna," which was exciting and passionate, yet also carried an indescribable sense of tragic epic grandeur, started playing right on time.
After a brief black screen, the episode title slowly appeared in the center of the screen—
Episode 51: Flying Towards Tomorrow
"Flying towards tomorrow..."
Old Tang muttered the title to himself, his eyes flickering slightly. "This title sounds like it carries a kind of hope for survival in the face of death. Brothers, this is definitely going to be an extremely fierce and arduous battle!"
The main feature begins.
The scene was seamless, picking up directly from the end of the previous episode.
In the vast, boundless, deep, and cold expanse of space, the Kurak Call, carrying humanity's last hope—the ultimate weapon of destruction, the Neomagus Cannon—fired at the approaching, massive, dark planet Gransfia!
"Go to hell!!!"
With a desperate and furious roar from the Super GUTS team, an extremely thick and dazzling beam of destructive light shot out, as if it would slice the entire universe in two.
However, the cruelty and indescribable horror of the universe were on full display at this moment.
Faced with the terrifying gravity of the Gulansphia that could easily swallow even light, the enormous energy of the Neomagus Cannon, which was enough to destroy asteroids, was completely absorbed and dissolved by the deep black hole without causing a ripple!
Moreover, the entire mobile fortress Kurak Call began to vibrate violently, and the huge metal body was being frantically captured step by step by the irresistible gravitational pull of the dark planet, with the red alarm light flashing wildly inside the cabin.
"Power the engine up to the max! We have to get out of the dark gravity zone no matter what!" Vice Captain Koda pulled the control stick, sweating profusely.
"No! None of our systems are functioning properly! We're being sucked in!"
Zhongdao stared in despair at the data frantically displaying errors on the screen.
Just when everyone felt utterly hopeless and thought that everything was about to come to an end.
"Whoosh—!"
A dazzling light, so bright it seemed to tear through the darkness of the universe!
Ultraman Dyna reappeared in front of the spaceship.
Faced with that unfathomable black hole, capable of crushing everything, Dyna did not flinch in the slightest.
The Specium Lightning emanating from that black hole had just knocked Dyna to the ground, but now, it was easily thrown aside by Dyna, who had pushed his protective power to its limit!
He raised his arms and crossed them in front of his chest, unleashing an extremely powerful Solgent Ray with a do-or-die attitude, slamming it into the interior of the dark planet.
"Boom!"
The dark planet itself immediately reacted strongly, and the indescribable, terrifying gravitational field experienced a brief period of disorder and stagnation.
At that moment, Dyna saw the enormous, shimmering blue core of the Sphia within that dark interior!
Taking advantage of this critical, fleeting opening, Kurak's engines roared to life, and he managed to escape the clutches of death without serious injury.
But everyone knows that the crisis is far from over.
The scene shifts, and a suffocating sense of despair once again envelops the screen.
The shadow of the Sphere of Sphia began to haunt the skies above major cities around the world, including Beijing, New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo, like a ghost.
The entire Earth's sky was shrouded in an ominous haze.
Their cold, arrogant, and endlessly mocking and contemptuous synthesized voices resounded simultaneously on global communication channels, like a divine judgment:
"Let me welcome you before the Earth perishes. I am the future that Earth should become..."
Sphia constantly threatens humanity, her voice high and mighty.
It proclaims that the universe will eventually be swallowed by its own darkness, and everything will be destroyed and assimilated.
It believes that humanity is full of contradictions and suffering, and that all life should merge with this planet to become what it calls "perfect life forms".
Faced with this doomsday declaration that is almost like a pyramid scheme brainwashing, it makes people feel deeply powerless and terrified.
The atmosphere in the TPC command room was extremely tense.
But at that moment, Koda delivered the most resounding counterattack.
"How absurd! How can there be such a perfect world?"
However, Zhongdao, with a solemn expression, was deep in thought.
"However, there is some merit to it. If human science can transform all environments that are unfavorable to life, then we can avoid the extinction caused by destruction."
However, Captain Hibiki retorted emphatically: "But would that still be considered survival? Without death, it's a world without dreams and romance! Is that the future we want?"
His voice, strong and resonant, echoed in the empty command center: "What does it matter if it's imperfect? What does it matter if there are contradictions?"
"Where there are humans, there are dreams! I love this kind of world!"
Well said! Captain is awesome!!!
This is the true hymn to humanity! Imperfection is the driving force behind our progress; this is the meaning of life!
[Sphia's kind of perfect assimilation of everything is like stagnant water; that's called formatting, not life!]
[Dreams only exist because there are humans!]
To be fair, at times like this, the dramatic scenes always deliver a powerful punch, using the most ordinary people's voices to utter the most hardcore declarations of resistance in the most desperate moments!
Sphia represents an extreme, false utopia that eliminates all individual will. While humanity is weak, full of contradictions, and has all sorts of flaws, it is precisely these imperfections that give birth to infinite possibilities, dreams, and miracles!
"Yes! Even the birds... our most precious companions..."
Just then, a voice that everyone was very familiar with rang out!
"I am an immortal bird!"
The seemingly carefree bird, with its playful grin, actually suffers from injuries that make even standing up a luxury...
……
After the Kurak Call was transferred to Mars, the group began to discuss the arrangements for the final battle.
But at this moment, the situation is already extremely precarious.
"Deimos, the second planet from Mars, has disappeared..."
"Mars is starting to experience the effects of supergravity too..."
"Neomagus's energy recharge will take at least another hour..."
The series of bad news made countless people feel even heavier.
"If we lose this battle, humanity will be wiped out into darkness. But without breaking through the enemy's defenses, it's impossible to destroy them."
Asuka looked at everyone with a determined gaze and stated her extremely bold tactic: "If throwing straight balls doesn't work, try throwing a breaking ball!"
"I remember seeing it when I left the darkness. It was the shape of the central core the instant the defensive barrier opened. When the enemy concentrates on the barrier, gaps will appear around the edges. So I thought, I'll lure it away with a ball first, and then throw the winning shot!"
This tactic, which is as risky as a baseball pitcher's, sounds extremely crazy, but it is the only chance of winning in this desperate situation.
But the ever-meticulous Zhongshima immediately pointed out the blind spot, asking earnestly, "Wait a minute. If this is true, then we do have a chance. But Asuka, when did you see it?"
After all, this concerns the survival of all mankind, and cannot rely on personal guesses; it must be supported by 100% accuracy.
The bird was instantly stuck.
He stammered, scratching his head, his eyes darting around, unable to utter a single word.
Because that was the scene he witnessed when he transformed into Dyna and approached the dark planet at the most dangerous distance...
As an "ordinary human being," he had no way of explaining the source of this information.
Just as the bird was at a loss, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward and even tense.
Captain Hibi, who had been observing silently from the sidelines, suddenly spoke up.
He walked steadily to Feibiao, looking intently at this troublesome teammate whom he had personally trained and who was always the most prone to causing trouble.
"Is that so?"
The captain's deep, magnetic voice rang out in the quiet command room.
There was no blame, no oppressive interrogation, only a calm composure that seemed to know everything, and a deep sense of heartache.
"Um...I am..."
The bird was still trying to cover it up.
"You're just a single-celled organism that loves to attract attention."
Kibi Gosuke interrupted him.
"But you've remained silent until now. You won't tell us that you are Dyna."
boom!!!
These words were like a bombshell detonating in the command room, plunging the entire space into absolute silence.
Xing Xingtian, Zhong Dao, Xin Shuya, Kawa Mai... everyone's eyes widened suddenly, their pupils contracted sharply, and they stared at Asuka in shock.
They simply couldn't believe that the invincible giant who transformed into light and stood in front of them to protect them in every doomsday situation was actually their teammate, who was usually carefree and loved to show off!
Kibi Gosuke stepped forward and placed his hands heavily on Asuka's shoulders.
This tough captain, known for his iron will, now had slightly red eyes and his voice was choked with emotion.
"Why? Why should one person bear all the responsibility?"
When Lao Tang saw this scene on his computer, tears streamed down his face.
He sniffled, his voice choked with emotion: "...This is the Super GUTS! This is true camaraderie!"
"I remember in many traditional foreign science fiction or tokusatsu dramas I've watched before, once a hero's identity was exposed, it was often accompanied by endless suspicion and defensiveness, even being captured and dissected for research as an outsider. But in 'Dyna,' Gu Laozei gave us the warmest and most touching answer!"
Old Tang quickly analyzed this exquisite character portrayal.
"Captain Hibiki knew all along! Not only did he not suspect anything, but he was also heartbroken for Asuka! He felt sorry for this simple-minded, silly boy, for having to face such terrifying darkness alone, for having to grit his teeth and shoulder the burden of saving the Earth all by himself! This kind of absolute trust is really too heartbreaking!"
At this moment, the live stream chat was completely flooded with tears and countless touching messages:
[Aww! The long-legged captain is so sweet! He's a true big brother!]
Yes! Doesn't Ultraman have an obligation to protect humanity? Why should one person bear all the responsibility?
This is what a true team is! There's no backstabbing or suspicion, only the trust and care for each other as they fight side-by-side!
[Finally, Asuka no longer needs to hide himself; he can finally stand proudly with everyone!]
In the video, the captain's understanding is evident, and the teammates' gazes quickly shift from shock to support and emotion.
Feiniao's eyes also welled up with tears.
Looking at his family members who had shared life and death with him, he let out a long sigh of relief and revealed a bright smile of relief, half-jokingly concealing his inner excitement: "I...I'm actually a very shy person too."
This simple joke instantly dispelled all the heaviness and tension.
……
"Kulak call sign incoming!"
The communicator's voice came through.
"They've decided to wage their final battle against the darkness in Mars orbit!"
The message was instantly transmitted back to Earth.
Director Fukami frowned.
In the image, the Kurak call is heading towards the dark planet, as small as a speck of dust in the universe.
"The Neomagus cannon is no longer effective, is there any chance of winning..." he muttered to himself.
Just as he was frowning in worry, the door behind him suddenly slid open silently to both sides.
"You must trust your subordinates! That's a supervisor's responsibility!"
That voice, steady and powerful, seemed to have traveled through a long period of time, landing heavily in everyone's heart.
Director Fukami suddenly turned around—
At that moment, his pupils contracted sharply.
It wasn't just him.
The viewers in front of the screen were momentarily stunned, then the barrage of comments poured in like an avalanche—
That's...!
[Director Sawai?!]
[Waaaaah! Everyone's back!]
Countless comments overlapped and flooded the screen, expressing amazement, disbelief, and overwhelming emotion.
Some longtime viewers couldn't help but get teary-eyed, their fingers trembling as they typed "tears welling up."
Sawai and Iruma Megumi strode into the command room, their gazes fixed firmly on Fukami.
When he spoke, every word seemed to carry his complete trust:
"They will definitely win, and then they will come back here. You must have faith in your men!"
Director Fukami stared blankly at his former mentor, as if the courage that had been suffocating him under the weight of uncertainty was being rekindled.
The comments continued to scroll wildly—
[Sobbing, Director Sawai... I witnessed the final battle between two generations!]
This is what inheritance is all about!
We absolutely have to win!!
On and off screen, countless hearts were tightly linked together at this moment.
Super GUTS decides to wage a final battle against darkness in orbit around Mars.
The final battle is about to begin.
The bird leaned against the porthole in the corridor, outside which stretched an endless, dark universe.
The Kurak Call is heading toward the cursed planet, but the cabin is unusually quiet.
"Why are you hiding here all by yourself?"
Liang's voice sounded from behind.
Without waiting for his reply, she walked straight to his side and stood beside him.
The bird didn't turn around; it just stared out the window.
After a long silence, he finally spoke, his voice much lower than usual:
"I...I'm actually very scared."
Liang turned to look at him.
"What are you afraid of?"
The bird's fingers unconsciously pressed against the wall:
"I'm afraid that after everyone finds out I'm Dyna... they'll be afraid of me. They'll think, 'So Asuka isn't human,' 'Who is he?' 'Can he still be trusted?'... I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liang interrupted him:
"Ordinary people might."
She paused, turned to the side, and looked intently into his eyes:
"But we are different."
The bird finally turned its head and met her gaze.
There was no fear or doubt in those eyes, only unwavering determination and something softer than usual.
"You are Asuka Shin."
Liang said, word by word, "He's that reckless, disobedient, and worrisome guy. That has never changed."
She looked away, gazing at the starry sky outside the window, her voice softening:
"No matter what you are... it won't change."
Asuka stared blankly at her profile, his Adam's apple bobbing, but in the end he said nothing, only slightly curving the corners of his mouth.
[Waaaaah! They're such a perfect match!]
Liang's smile is so warm!
[This romance scene is way better than any idol drama!]
……
At the same time, in the operations room, the brief silence was broken by Kariya.
"Asuka is actually Dyna..."
He leaned back in his chair, arms clasped behind his head, and suddenly chuckled softly:
"Although it was unexpected, upon closer reflection, it feels... quite natural."
Koda looked up from the screen and nodded thoughtfully:
"I understand what you mean. That guy never thinks about the consequences of his actions, he just charges around recklessly, but he always manages to create miracles at crucial moments... Now that I know he's Dyna, I have a kind of 'I see' feeling."
"right,"
Kariya reminisces about his past with Asuka, saying, "It's as if this was always going to be this way, we just never realized it."
Mai sat in her seat, holding her cup in both hands, also reminiscing.
"I feel like... I've known for a long time that Asuka is Dyna."
The other two looked at her at the same time.
Mai looked down at the gently swaying surface of the water in her glass, her voice soft yet unusually earnest:
"It's not the kind of knowing that I have... it's just that every time I see him rush out to protect others, every time I see him doing something desperately, I think to myself, 'Ah, this person is definitely different.' It's not the kind of difference that makes me afraid, it's..."
She looked up, her eyes crinkling into a smile:
"It's a different kind of reassuring feeling."
Koda and Kariya exchanged a glance but neither spoke.
Outside the window, the outline of Mars is slowly emerging from the darkness.
The person they were talking about was standing at the end of the corridor, listening to the conversation, and quietly rubbed his eyes.
"Really..."
He muttered under his breath, "They're making my nose sting."
Captain Hibiki's powerful roar came through the communicator:
"Asuka! Ryo! Return to your positions immediately! We're entering the combat zone!"
"yes--!"
The bird responded and turned to stride forward.
He didn't stop as he passed by everyone's doorway.
Mai noticed his movement and smiled.
He must have heard it.
Kariya shrugged:
"So what if I hear it? At least it's nice stuff."
Koda stood up and stretched his shoulders:
"Alright, time to get to work. Let that guy see that even if he knows his secret, we'll still beat up our enemies without hesitation."
Inside the operations room, everyone wore a faint smile.
That kind of smile is called "as always".
[I'm so moved! Every single person on this team is amazing!]
[This atmosphere, oh my god, the better it's rendered, the more it feels like a foreshadowing!]
So, it must be a happy ending, right?! Gu Nan! Say something!!
……
the other side.
Inside the hangar, Chung-do sat alone in the Victory Phantom, his tools lightly scraping across the metal, making a soft sound.
This is exactly what the bird saw when it entered the hangar.
"The Chung Dao team?"
Chung Dao didn't turn around, but continued what he was doing:
"No matter how advanced the technology is now, in the end, it still requires manual debugging."
His voice was lower and more serious than usual.
The bird stopped beside him, neither urging him nor speaking.
After a moment of silence, the bird suddenly spoke:
"When I came back just now, did the captain argue with you?"
Chung-dao's fingers paused for a moment on the tool:
"I don't know why... I haven't thought about my father in a long time."
He looked up, his gaze falling on the steel beams of the hangar dome, as if looking into the distance:
"What the captain said really sounds a lot like what my father said."
The birds listened quietly.
"My father, as a first-rate scholar, often distanced himself from money in pursuit of dreams and romance."
Chung Dao's voice was calm, yet carried a barely perceptible undercurrent of emotion. "As a result, it made things very difficult for everyone in the family. I was also very unhappy, thinking that my father's lifestyle was inappropriate."
He lowered his head and continued adjusting the parts in his hands:
"So I resolved to become a scientist recognized by everyone. That's what I thought, and that's what I did."
The bird stared at his profile, waiting for him to continue.
"But actually, I owe a lot of my efforts to my father."
Chung Dao paused slightly, "No matter what, I have always respected him. Because I like him very much."
He suddenly chuckled softly and shook his head:
"So now, no matter what anyone says about him, I still like him just as much. It's such a contradiction, isn't it? I hate contradictions."
The bird was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke:
"However, that is also a very good contradiction."
Chung Dao's hand movements paused.
He abruptly turned his head, glaring at the bird, his eyes slightly reddening.
"Don't say things like that!"
He turned his face away and buried himself in his work again, his voice returning to its usual tone. It seemed that no one could tell that tears had welled up in his eyes.
"There's still a lot to do."
As the bird watched his retreating figure, a slight smile appeared on its lips.
He turned to leave, but stopped abruptly at the hangar entrance, turning his back to Chung Dao and saying:
"I'm also working hard so that I won't lose to my dad."
Chung Dao's movements came to a halt once again.
When he turned around, the doorway was empty. Only the wind from the hangar blew gently, carrying the scent of metal and engine oil.
He stared blankly in that direction for a long time before lowering his head and continuing to adjust the parts in his hands.
But the corners of her mouth had quietly curved upwards without her noticing.
……
Just before Asuka set off, his teammates came forward to say their final goodbyes.
Shin-Kyu-Ya patted his chest, and Chung-Shima silently gave him an encouraging look.
Deputy Captain Xing Xingtian, his expression grave, repeatedly emphasized, "You must come back! If the interior of the dark planet collapses, spacetime will be so distorted that even light won't be able to escape. You absolutely cannot get too close! You must come back alive!"
"Ugh, how many times have you told me that!"
Asuka smiled and agreed, her eyes filled with unwavering determination: "It's alright, I'll come back. To continue flying in space... so that next time, I can fly in space again!"
I will definitely come back! This is a man's promise!
【Flying Bird, please stay safe! We're still waiting to see your wedding with Ryo!】
Then, the camera cleverly cut to a shot of Earth.
Despite the despairing doomsday pronouncements from Sphia, this time, humanity on Earth did not descend into utter panic and wait to die as it had in the past.
Organized by the defense forces, countless ordinary people took to the streets and stood on rooftops, gazing up at the starry sky that would soon determine the fate of humanity.
The camera pans across real faces: there's the playmate of the alien boy saved by Asuka in the first season; there's the construction worker protected by the GUTS team when they were attacked by monsters; there are children holding soft vinyl toys of Tiga and Dyna; and there are mothers with their hands clasped together, praying day and night...
There was no fear in their eyes, only pure, unadulterated light of hope.
"Ultraman Dyna will definitely win!"
"Go, Super GUTS! You have to defeat those monsters!"
"Earth is our home, and the Giants of Light will surely protect us!"
The voices, cries, and prayers of countless ordinary people converged into an invisible yet immense force that penetrated the Earth's atmosphere and traveled into the depths of space.
Humans are no longer simply weaklings in need of protection! They not only refused to succumb to Sphia's brainwashing, but also provided spiritual support to the frontline warriors with their unwavering beliefs!
This is the growth of humanity itself, and it is the true source of Dyna's ability to continuously create miracles!
[As I said before! The hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage!]
[I cried. Everyone believes in the light! Everyone is a part of the light!]
Humans will never be slaves! Sphia, get out of the solar system!
This is the power of mutual protection! This bond! It's something unique to tokusatsu (special effects) films, and it's the kind of profound emotional impact it brings us.
