History[]
Ultraman Gaia[]
One night, strange glowing bacteria appeared in the oceans of the world. This occurrence started with a glowing blue ball appearing from the sea like a rocket that headed to the forest. This ball deprived oxygen from most of the forest, making birds and other creatures who need oxygen die.
Peace Carry and Gamu Takayama were sent to investigate the forest. Once they found the glowing ball, they destroyed it as Gamu concluded there could be a relation between oxygen loss in the forest and the ball's appearance. After they destroyed it, more glowing blue balls appeared to the world but landed in non-urban areas, and GUARD could destroy those safely. To know what are those things, Gamu brings the fragment to Gentaro Imai from Team Marlin to investigate. They conclude that the ball was an offensive weapon sent by a creature that needs no oxygen, lives quietly in the ocean, and has gone through mutation to make all oxygen disappear from Earth. To find this creature, Gamu calculated a projection of the glowing ball's direction from the ocean to the forest to know the exact location of this creature inside the ocean.
After Gamu found it, Siren 7500 was sent to investigate and what they found was an "aggregate of bacteria" monster, Candea, who had gone through a mutation caused by industrial waste that was dumped into the ocean 8 years ago. He started blasting them, and they landed in soft sand and almost sank. Then Ultraman Gaia came in time to save them and fight the monster. Candea had the upper hand and launched poisonous gases and energy balls at him, and at one point, made him sink into the sand and pushed him into it. But Gaia then launched the Quantum Flash, repulsing Candea as he came out and attacked Candea once more. Gaia wanted to fire the Quantum Stream but hesitated as he remembered Fujimiya's words from earlier about humanity's role in Candea's appearance. This hesitation allowed Candea to take the opportunity to attack Gaia. Wanting to end the fight used the Photon Edge and destroyed the bacteria monster, and the water reverted to normal.
