Return of Ultraman
Arriving in the meteor fragment, Kupukupu was a peaceful monster who meant no harm in his surroundings. However, Earth was still sensitive to alien sightings and Kupukupu was caged. MAT was quick on the case and despite the pleas of several children around the monster, Kupukupu was tragically destroyed by MAT out of paranoia.

After the destruction of Kupukupu when the tiny animal was blown up by MAT, a fragment of the creature was gathered by a small boy and it lived on and mutated into the monster Kingstron. Appearing as a giant mural of the monster on the boy's wall, Kingstron first made his presence by destroying the room of the boy's family's apartment. MAT returned to the scene and attacked the mural that was Kingstron. Provoked yet again, Kingstron emerged from the wall and attacked MAT himself by attacking the building everyone was inside of. Endangering the boy in his blind rage, Goh transformed into Ultraman Jack to do battle with the monster. At first Jack had the upper hand due to Kingstron's size, but once Kingstron used his energy bolts, the tides shifted to the monster's favor. Jack endured the battle until he found an opening and used the Ultra Bracelet on the monster, reducing Kingstron into a skeleton and ending its life for good.

Trivia
