The scene in which the original Ultraman, after colliding with a plane when flying to Earth from space and accidentally killing the protagonist Shin Hayata, merges his essence with Hayata to save his life out of remorse left a particularly strong impression, the director said. “Ultraman is a devoted hero who would sacrifice himself for others,” one of the event’s directors said in explaining why he finds the series fascinating. He uses the region’s indigenous silat martial arts moves to fight monsters and aliens. In fact, Ultraman Ribut, one of the three characters performing at the event, is a new superhero inspired by a popular cartoon in Malaysia. “He’s the hero who protects Earth, so now that I’ve become a parent I let my children watch the series, too,” a father in the audience at the November event said, holding his son. In Malaysia, where the television series has been broadcast for many years, Ultraman is a household name.
