―Movie tagline

Ultraman Cosmos vs. Ultraman Justice: The Final Battle (ウルトラマンコスモスVSウルトラマンジャスティス THE FINAL BATTLE, Urutoraman Kosumosu VS Urutoraman Jasutisu Za Fainaru Batoru) is the second movie sequel to Ultraman Cosmos that was released in Japan on August 2, 2003.

The film also serves as a double bill with New Century 2003 Ultraman Legend: THE KING'S JUBILEE.

Production[]

This film is a sequel to Ultraman Cosmos 2: The Blue Planet, with the story set five years after the conclusion of the TV series. It also serves as the final installment in the Ultraman Cosmos series. In addition to Taiyo Sugiura reprising his role as Musashi Haruno, the entire EYES from the TV series returns. Notably, Ultraman Justice, who only appeared in giant form in the previous film, takes on the leading role in this installment, focusing on the character's internal journey. The human form of Justice, "Julie," is portrayed by Kazue Fukiishi.

According to an interview with director Tsugumi Kitaura, the production of the film began on August 15, 2002. Producer Kiyoshi Suzuki initially proposed the idea of having all 29 Ultramen appear in the film, but this concept proved to be highly challenging. The production team even drafted a script, but it ultimately did not receive approval. As a result, they began brainstorming another story, and by October 2002, with filming needing to begin soon, a new script was hastily completed, forming the current story. The pre-production phase was particularly difficult.[1][2]

To improve the flow of the narrative, the team reinforced various story elements. The climax, in particular, was enhanced with more dramatic tension, including conflicts and reactions among humans, which enriched the final product. The main focus, however, remained on Ultraman Justice. Designing Justice to be even more mysterious and imposing than in Ultraman Cosmos 2: The Blue Planet was not an easy task. The central questions revolved around why Justice chose to side against Earth, the internal struggles he faced, and whether he truly wanted to destroy the planet. Believing that "in 2,000 years, humanity will destroy the universe," Justice, in the name of cosmic peace and justice, resolved to eliminate humanity. This led to his battle with Cosmos and shaped the character's portrayal.[1]

The premise of this film is based on the idea that in the future, humanity on Earth may pose a threat to the universe, prompting a powerful enemy to decide to eradicate mankind. This enemy carries a strong "space police" theme. If Justice were the sole agent of humanity's destruction, he would be viewed entirely as a villain. To avoid this, the production team introduced a concept called the "Will of the Universe," with Justice merely aligning with its perspective. This also ties into the events involving Sandros from the previous film.[1]

When the film's theme—specifically the "Will of the Universe" passing judgment on Earth—was compared to the real-world Iraq War, director Kitaura acknowledged the similarities but clarified that there was no direct connection. However, he also noted that real-world events sometimes unfold faster than anticipated, making fictional stories seem more relevant to reality.[1]

The film was completed in 2003, with a preview screening held on July 13 at the Shiodome FS Hall. Taiyo Sugiura, Kazue Fukiishi, Hidekazu Ichinose, director Tsugumi Kitaura, and producer Kiyoshi Suzuki were present to greet the audience on stage.[3]

Plot[]

While EYES prepare to safely transport the world's monsters to a far off planet where they will no longer be troubled by humans, an army of giant alien robots, called Gloker Pawns appear to stop the project. Cosmos arrives in time to temporarily stop the attack when Ultraman Justice enters the battle aiding the alien invaders. Cosmos is defeated by Justice and the aliens destroy the spacecraft that were to be used as transports for the monsters. It becomes apparent that these aliens don't want Earth's species to leave the planet.

With Cosmos out of the way the invaders begin an onslaught against the Earth's major cities. Every attack is witnessed by a mysterious woman in black who shows no emotion and no desire to interact with any of the victims. Without Cosmos the world is defenseless.

It is soon revealed that the mysterious woman Julie is Justice in disguise who has been sent by a Universal peace-keeping organisation called the Universal Justice to oversee their plans. Justice appears at a meeting of top level EYES leaders to deliver a message from the organisation: In the near future life on Earth will become a threat to peace in the galaxy from the conclusion of the incident of Sandros (see 2nd movie). The aliens have come to destroy all life on Earth then restart it with new species that will be more acceptable to the other planets with their ultimate weapon, a massive space craft called Giga Endra. The destruction of Earth will begin in 35 hours and there will be no negotiations. As the Earth's forces try to stop the advance of Giga Endra, nothing in their weapons are powerful enough to so much as scratch it. EYES at this time, tried to protect the people from the wrath of Gloker Pawns while putting all their efforts in getting a communication with Delacion, one of the higher officials of the organisation in order to convince her to stop the attack.

Through interaction with a kind young girl and her puppy, Justice is able to see the good in mankind that Cosmos mentioned as two Gloker Pawns combine to form the Gloker Rook as they're being attacked by Earth's monsters and defeat them. Justice attacks the Gloker Rook and after a fierce battle, with EYES' help and changing into his Crusher Mode, destroys the robot with Dagrium Beam. But the aliens release their next robot, the Gloker Bishop. Try as he might, Justice is not strong enough to defeat it but Cosmos' friends combine their energies to resurrect Cosmos. Holding no bad will against Justice, Cosmos changed into Future Mode and recharged Justice and the two take on the Bishop.

With the combined efforts of the Ultramen the Gloker Bishop is overcome, and all is left is the life resetter, Giga Endra. The massive robot cannon is far too powerful for the duo to overcome and killed the two. But they were combined to form Ultraman Legend. The super Ultraman catches Giga Endra's resetter beam and pushes back before loosing his ultimate move, the Light of Legend (The Spark Legend), and obliterating Giga Endra. With Giga Endra destroyed, Delacion appeared before Ultraman Legend, asking him why the legendary warrior is going that far to protect the life on Earth. Legend then split back into Cosmos and Justice which both of them convinced the Universal Justice to retreat their forces. Before fully retreat, Delacion stated the they should believe in the warriors of light as well as the humans who keep on sending messages to Delacion herself.

In the ending scene, Julie and Musashi was eating sweet bits given by the girl she saved. Musashi's friends waves to him and leaves Julie behind. She smiled to him and everyone in the end of the scene.
