A mysterious light appears in the sky, leading to an incident where an entire city is destructively wiped out. An investigation by the special investigation team, EYES, reveals that the source of the light is a life form named Chaos Header.

Meanwhile, Musashi Haruno, a space astronaut candidate at the SRC Space Development Center, enjoys a paired flight with his friend, the Kaiju Lidorias.

However, Chaos Header possesses Lidorias, turning it violent. Musashi, attempting to stop Lidorias on his own, is visited by Ultraman Cosmos, the giant of light and compassion whom he encountered in his childhood.[1]

10th Anniversary Release

5100n90wP-L

Box Cover of the 10th anniversary release.

In 2011, Tsuburaya productions has released the entire TV Series in DVD Box set, under the title "Ultraman Cosmos: 10th Anniversary Memorial Box", features all 65 episodes plus three newly-edited episodes. Comes with a 32-page description.

Arrest of Taiyo Sugiura

In June 2002, Cosmos was taken off of television for several weeks (following the broadcast of the 49th episode) when lead actor Taiyo Sugiura was questioned in an assault and extortion case. The feature film Ultraman M78 Theater Love & Peace and the direct-to-video Ultraman series Ultraman Neos were broadcast during this period. When the case against Sugiura was dropped for lack of evidence, Cosmos was put back on the air.[2] TBS and Tsuburaya ultimately pulled five episodes (50, 52, 54, 56, and 58) from broadcast to make up for time lost, and these episodes were later released on DVD.
