Devils from the Crypts is the seventh episode of Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero. It is known in Japan as Revival! Two Giant Monsters (復活!ニ大怪獣, Fukkatsu! Ni dai Kaijū), and is instead placed as the ninth episode.

Synopsis[]

In a water basin, WINR discovers the capsule hiding a red fire devil monster called Banila. In a cave, two college students discover another capsule hiding the blue acid devil monster Aboras. Both accidentally released, now go towards the city for an all-out battle to the death with innocent citizens caught in between.

Plot[]

A pair of college students, spelunking in a cave discover a mysterious capsule at the bottom of a pit. Meanwhile, the Department of Water and Power calls in WINR when they discover a similar object that has washed up in a drainage ditch after a flood.

Beck is excited at the prospect of discovering such an ancient object, but when WINR calls in Doctor Whitaker, an expert in ancient civilizations and Beck's old mentor to assist them, her enthusiasm quickly fades. It seems that Whitaker and Beck had a falling out years ago when she decided to join WINR rather than pursue a career as a scientist.

Their investigation reveals that the capsule WINR found is one of two prisons built millennia ago to contain a pair of legendary monsters called Aboras and Banila. Meanwhile, the students who discovered the other capsule take some photos which they plan to publish in their college newspaper. However, the light from the camera's flash activates a release mechanism in the capsule and Aboras is freed. Beck and Whitaker realize their mistake in attempting to open the capsule and join up with WINR in tracking Aboras and Banilla as they head for an inevitable confrontation in the city.

When the monsters face off in the college football stadium, Kai notices the two students, still chasing their story, put in mortal danger by the presence of the two creatures. He must call upon Ultraman Powered once again to vanquish the creatures and save the students. During the battle, WINR used a special machine to emit 23,000 hertz, greatly weakening both devil kaiju and allowed Powered to destroy Aboras and then Banila with the Mega Spacium Beam.
