History

Return of Ultraman

The Kaiju first made its presence known near a power plant. A young boy, Susumu Kato, initially mistook Eledortus for Neronga due to its invisibility. Jiro Sakata, seeking answers, asked for Kato's notebook, which contained cheats for homework and drawings of the Kaiju. After being caught cheating, Hideki Go returned the notebook to Kato's mother and grew suspicious of Kato. Upon confronting him, Go discovered another boy, bound and gagged in a car, who was the real Kato. The imposter, named Shiro, fled the scene, prompting a search for him.

As Go learned more about Shiro's troubled life, he began to suspect a connection between Shiro and the recent Kaiju events. Eledortus reappeared at a railroad, destroying a train with its heat beam before vanishing again. During the investigation by MAT, Go spotted Shiro fleeing the scene. Go decided to show Shiro some kindness, discovering that Shiro disliked MAT for their methods of dealing with monsters. He also noticed a toy resembling the Kaiju in Shiro’s home.

Eledortus suddenly appeared near a railroad, consuming electricity from nearby power lines. As the Kaiju rampaged through the area, MAT's attempts to stop it were futile. Shiro, not wanting his friend to be harmed, tried to calm the Kaiju, but it continued its destruction and even attacked Shiro with its energy ray. Go intervened, using his pistol, but was quickly overpowered and pinned under train rubble.

Ultraman Jack took over and confronted Eledortus. The Kaiju initially overpowered Jack with an energy beam from its tail and repelled his attacks with its electric body. As Jack's timer started blinking, he attempted a jumping attack but was blocked by the Kaiju's shell and knocked down again by its tail beam. MAT provided a distraction, allowing Jack to use his Spacium Beam to destroy Eledortus, ultimately blowing it to pieces.^{Revenge of the Monster Lad}
