Ultraman Nexus officially concluded.
Although the Alien Beasts continued to appear after the series, TLT had minimized the damage and abandoned its practice of erasing the witnesses' memories.
By doing so, the people of Nexus' world no longer experienced the peace they once knew and were forced to face their fears. But after the Dark Lucifer incident, they learned that humans would not give up or run away.
Instead, they would always hold onto hope and fight for tomorrow! Even if one day, an unknown darkness reappeared...
NEXUS, the light that is inherited, will shine again when darkness returns and save humanity's world!
Not only was the issue of the Alien Beasts addressed, but viewers were also surprised to see that Jun made an appearance in the final scenes.
He seemed to be in a war-torn country, constantly adopting children who had lost their families to the conflict.
Ren had also received treatment, and her lifespan was now comparable to that of a normal human.
Seijo continued fighting the Alien Beasts and even seemed to be together with the original Goryo.
As for Komon, he was shown married to Riko, who had been revived due to the temporal distortions.
The final frame showed Komon and Riko on their wedding night, with Komon pinning Riko to the bed.
At that moment, the internet exploded with people venting their emotions:
"Happy ending!!!"
"Dammit, Porter, why did you freeze the scene right there?! Keep going!!"
"Yeah, I want to learn what happens on the wedding night!!"
"We became the light again this year!"
"Can't wait for the next Ultraman!!!"
"+1!"
"+10086!"
"Sigh, I wonder when the next Ultraman will be released!"
Then, a comment suddenly caught everyone's attention online:
"There's still one unresolved plot point."
This reminded everyone of something from Ultraman Nexus.
In the episode where Jun disappeared, the Seer mentioned that Ren was the third Deunamist (the chosen one for Nexus).
Jun was clearly the second, but who was the first Deunamist?
"Yeah, who was the first one?"
People were confused.
The suspense was killing them!
As fans, they hated it when stories left them hanging like this. It was even more annoying than vague riddles!
"Damn those mysterious plot teasers!!"
"Is there really anything worth discussing?" someone posted. "This is just like the situation with Ultraman Tiga. Maybe they'll make a movie."
"Hopefully. I'd love a movie about it."
Many fans shared the same sentiment.
Ultraman Nexus had been so well-received, and people were genuinely curious about the first Deunamist. Unfortunately, the show had ended, leaving them unsure if the Porter would make a movie. And if he did, would it even focus on the first Deunamist?
The series had reached an impressive average viewership rating of 5.72, with a 9.8 rating on Douzi.com.
Online streaming platforms reported that the show had surpassed 10 billion views.
The trending topics were all about the series, with phrases like "The Anthem of Humanity is the Anthem of Courage," "Noa Finale," and "Light is the Bond."
However, just as fans were discussing Nexus, a sudden announcement from Gu Yuan's official Weibo account grabbed everyone's attention:
"A new Ultraman is currently in production~~"
The post included several behind-the-scenes photos, showcasing the new Ultraman's design.
This new Ultraman was none other than Ultraman Dyna.
Since filming was already underway, it made sense for the production team to capitalize on the momentum Nexus had generated.
Sure enough, the day after the announcement, "New Ultraman" shot to the top of the trending list, pushing aside celebrity news trying to attract attention.
There was no helping it—the new Ultraman news sparked a wave of speculation.
Fans recognized a familiar face from the photos. It was the same man who had crossed paths with Daigo in the Final Holy War and shared that intense gaze.
"This has to be set in the Ultraman Tiga universe!!!"
"I knew it! This guy's something special!"
"Look at this new Ultraman's design—it's similar to Tiga's, with the three-colored body. I bet he can transform into three different modes! But wait… How does he get his powers? Tiga got his by betraying his comrades. Did this Ultraman betray Tiga and steal his power?"
"GKD, GKD! Hurry up and finish it already!!!" (GKD means "can't wait" in internet slang.)
The internet was flooded with people urging for updates, while social media buzzed with discussions about the new Ultraman.
...
"Daddy, daddy, daddy~~"
At Ren's house, he was holding his baby, trying to teach him how to talk.
Typically, babies don't start talking until they're around 10-12 months old, though some may say simple words like "mama" or "dada" between 6-8 months. However, at that age, it's usually an unconscious response, with the baby not fully understanding what they're saying.
Still, Ren was determined to teach his child to say "daddy" first. After all, his little girl's first word had been "mama," and he wasn't about to let his wife win this time.
"Come on, say 'daddy,'" Ren said, poking his baby's cheek and slowly enunciating, "Daaaaddy…"
"Ah!"
Huh?
Hearing his baby's response, Ren was filled with confusion.
Did... did his own baby just take advantage of him?
"It's 'you call me daddy,' not the other way around!" Ren said, exasperated, a black line forming on his forehead.
Ren's frustrated expression only made his baby giggle, babbling "ya ya ya" in baby talk.
Sighing, Ren thought, "Maybe he's still too young? But it's almost October. He's not that small—he's already around eight months old, and he's even starting to crawl."
Yes, Ren's baby could already crawl. After all, by seven months, babies typically begin crawling.
At the time, Ren had been overjoyed, thinking his child was a little genius!
"Honey, there's something I need to tell you."
Just then, Jada opened the door, holding their little girl's hand as she returned home.
