Synopsis
In the past, the Devil Splinters were scattered across space. Today, the splinters are still causing chaos throughout the universe. While the Ultra Heroes fight to restore peace to the galaxy, a mysterious being uses these items in its despicable schemes to destroy planets one by one.
And now, that evil being approaches the Land of Light.
In its way stands the gallant Ultraman Zero and his disciple, Ultraman Z. At the end of a fierce battle, Z chases a monster alone, making his way towards Earth...
Meanwhile on Earth, a defense force to combat routine monster appearances, the anti-monster robot force STORAGE, is formed and joined by the hot-blooded youth Haruki Natsukawa. When a monster from space invades Earth, Z and Haruki have their fateful encounter. Here begins the passionate story of our two young heroes' battles![2]
Haruki's Ultra-navi (ハルキのウルトラナビ Haruki no Urutora Nabi) is a segment at the end of the show where Haruki showcases the Ultra Medal and Kaiju Medal of the week.
