Ultraman Cosmos[]
One day, something fell from space and crash landed on Earth. EYES were sent to investigate and decided to get Zaranga out from the crater. Having failed, Musashi summons Cosmos and successfully rescued the monster but it got away easily. Cosmos tried to stop it but to no avail hit by the monster's belly. EYES stopped Cosmos revealing the monster is pregnant as he uses Full Moon Rect to make it sleep for a while. Back at EYES base, Ikiyama appeared and reveal the monster's name Zaranga, having come to Earth and later to the ocean numerous times even during the Edo period in order to give birth to her child. If she failed, her body temperature will rise to the temperature of a sun and eventually die of heat stroke. Team EYES dispatched in order to change Zaranga's route to the sea in order to avoid the city. Ikiyama revealed that Zaranga was supposed to crash land in the sea but it hit the mountains instead due to firework celebrations as it hates the smell of gunpowder. As Zaranga follow the Sheepheard (Team EYES patrol car), the sun's heat accelerated it's temperature and Team EYES needed to be quick but the car was stopped by some tourists whom seems to fond of Zaranga. They even released some fireworks making it superheated and go on a rampage. Musashi transformed into Cosmos and cool her with Luna Cold while using the Transformer Bubble to drag her to the sea so she can finally give birth to her baby. She succeeded and flew back to space along with her baby.
