Daigo once again transformed into the jet-black Ultraman Tiga. However, this Tiga was different from the one in the TV version; it was the black Tiga seen in earlier trailers.
"Dad, Dad, look, it's me!" A familiar voice came from behind Daniel, and he turned slightly to see the child, Xiao Peng, sitting happily in his seat.
For Xiao Peng, even though his screen time was brief and his character was defeated by Dark Tiga with one punch, being able to appear on the big screen with his favorite hero, Tiga, made him very happy.
After all, he's still a kid and only knows that, compared to other children, he has already been in a movie!
Facing all these events, Daigo felt confused. He found the time machine that had initially led him on the path of becoming a giant. Thanks to the images shown by the time machine, he saw the war-torn city and the appearance of black Tiga alongside the three giants, finally understanding the truth. The three giants resurrected at R'lyeh were his former companions! Before he could ask more questions, Camilla, the main antagonist, appeared.
From Camilla, he learned more about the ancient era and her relationship with the past Tiga.
It turned out Camilla wasn't just a dark giant and Tiga's partner; she was also Tiga's lover!
This revelation left many viewers puzzled.
Everyone thought this movie was about "Tiga turning evil." Then, when the three giants appeared, they thought it was about "a grudge from 30 million years ago." But now it turned into "a dramatic showdown between the ex and the current lover," with the ex bringing her crew to beat up the "scumbag" Tiga?
What a surprising twist!
However, another question arose.
"Come to think of it, the current Tiga and the Tiga from 30 million years ago shouldn't be the same person, right?" Felix said, confused. "Why are they treating Daigo like he's the same guy?"
"Maybe Camilla just likes Daigo's looks?" Daniel joked.
Regardless of Camilla's true intentions, what mattered now was that a big battle was about to begin!
Daigo saw the war between giants from 30 million years ago and learned that if he used the Dark Spark Lens to transform, the pyramid seal would disappear. However, if he didn't transform, the seal could last another hundred years.
But who was Daigo? He was both a being of light and a human. Faced with this crisis, he resolutely went to R'lyeh, determined to face Camilla and her group, just as he did in the TV series finale, knowing it was dangerous but following his heart!
Initially, as Dark Tiga, Daigo was at a disadvantage against the three giants, even when fighting one-on-one, getting beaten badly.
"Come on, Tiga!"
"Don't lose!"
As they watched Darramb pull Tiga underground, about to deliver the final blow, the audience couldn't help but pray for him.
Although they knew Tiga would somehow survive, they were still worried.
But then, something incredible happened!
Not only did Tiga not get defeated by Darramb, but he also absorbed Darramb's power, with his previously black body gaining a red tint!
Not just that, he then absorbed colors from the other giant, Hudra!
Though there was still some black left, the audience could tell—this was Tiga's Multi-Type form!
Sure enough, during his battle with Camilla, Tiga's chest armor turned golden! With the three colors of Multi-Type form coming together, Daigo finally stood his ground!
However, Camilla accepted the darkness of R'lyeh and transformed into the dark super monster, Demons-Diomage. In their clash of beams, Tiga was knocked down.
At that moment, the familiar background music from the TV series, "Miracle Again," started playing!
Hearing this familiar tune, the audience couldn't help but hum along.
Just like how some fans spent money to sing Wu Bai's songs to him, others now watched Tiga while singing Tiga's songs to him.
As the audience hummed along, a miracle happened!
The giants who had slumbered in the ancient civilization's ruins granted their light to Tiga, transforming him into Glitter Tiga!
Glitter Tiga unleashed a powerful light to defeat Demons-Diomage!
The epic battle ended.
The dark sky cleared, and a ray of dawn shone through the ceiling onto the ruins of R'lyeh, where Camilla lay weakly.
Although Tiga had defeated Camilla, the audience couldn't bring themselves to hate her.
Why?
Because of Camilla's well-crafted character.
Even after being sealed for 30 million years, she still loved Tiga. When the seal was lifted, she saw that Tiga was with another woman, which filled her with jealousy and anger, leading to a fierce battle with him.
She truly loved Tiga deeply but could not transform her dark power into light like Tiga. In her final moments, she expressed her feelings to Daigo: "I once... longed for the light too."
Her words, full of sorrow, moved many in the audience. She was the source of Tiga's dark power yet longed for the light, longing to stand with Tiga instead of being his enemy, but she failed.
In past stories, Camilla might have been seen sinking into the sea with R'lyeh, holding Daigo's hand tightly.
But Ren didn't go this route.
Because, in Ren's view, there were some flaws in this story, such as when Camilla first appeared, and Daigo immediately recognized her name! This was Daigo, not the ancient Tiga! Daigo only inherited Tiga's body and combat skills, so why would he have those memories?
So, Ren made some adjustments.
Just as Daigo was about to take Camilla's hand, a shadow emerged from Daigo's body. Although shrouded in light, Camilla instantly recognized it: "Daigo…"
It turned out that while the original Tiga was gone, a sliver of his soul, the one connected to Camilla, remained.
This fragment of Tiga's soul enabled Daigo to fight skillfully and was why Daigo instinctively called out Camilla's name when they first met.
