Ah! The Giraffes and Elephants Turned to Ice!! is the fiftieth and final episode of Ultraman 80, marking the end to televised Ultraman Series shows of the Showa era.
Following this episode's release, a protracted semi-hiatus would occur over the course of the next decade and a half, during which the only major additions to the franchise were in the form of side series, feature films, OVAs and the international installments produced in the USA (Ultraman: The Adventure Begins & Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero) and Australia (Ultraman: Towards the Future).
Synopsis[]
With Plazma and Minazma no more, it seems that the Minus Energy's last stand was successfully halted by 80 and Yullian. All of a sudden, the space monster Margodon arrives and begins using his powers to freeze Tokyo solid! UGM reveal a surprising secret; they know the truth behind Takeshi Yamato and Ryoko Hoshi's identities and those of the Ultras. With the Minus Energy threat having been all but completely eradicated by the Ultras, 80 and Yullian leave it to UGM to defeat Margodon, who reveal a new weapon that should make defeating the monster a breeze.
