Behold! Midnight Transformation (見よ！真夜中の大変身, Miyo! Mayonakano Dai Henshin) is the twenty-fourth episode of Ultraman Ace.

Synopsis[]

Kenta's mother Yoshiko starts behaving erratically ever since she was soaked by red rainfall. One night, Yoshiko leaves her bed, and speaks to Terrible-Monster Mazarews as if it was her own son. This was part of the plan devised by the remnants of the Yapool, the Mazaronians.
