Ultraman X: Here It Comes! Our Ultraman

Synopsis

After a series of past clips of the TV series and Gourman's failed attempt at summoning the original Ultraman, Xio members pick up a strange signal while celebrating Daichi's return from Australia. They trace it towards the Baraji Ruins (芭羅慈（バラジ）遺跡, Baraji Iseki) located in Baraji Village, Akita Prefecture and cross path with the Tamaki mother-son pair. As a result of the greedy treasure hunter Carlos Kurosaki, the ancient kaiju Zaigorg is lifted from his ancient seal and manages to defeat Ultraman X. X is

restored by Daichi, but his Devizer is damaged from the fight while Gourman the Tiga statue and the Sparklence brought by Yuto. In order to reseal Zaigorg, Tsukasa and Asuna attempt to coerce Carlos into returning the blue stone he stole earlier while Xio members initiate "Hell No. 3" (黄泉三号, Yomi San-gō) to slow down Zaigorg from advancing, but their use of Cyber Cards are countered by his Inferno Demon Clones, Antlar and Fire Golza.

As Zaigorg attacks the tower, Tsukasa is trapped under a steel beam and orders the others to evacuate but Yuto's strong will for his mother activates the Sparklence to save her and finally becomes Ultraman Tiga, simultaneously restoring the X Devizer for Daichi to Unite with X. The blue stone in Carlos' possession summons the original Ultraman and all three of them participate

With Antlar and Fire Golza destroyed, X seemingly defeats their leader, but Zaigorg emerges unharmed and drains Tiga and Ultraman of their energies to summon five different Tsurugi Demaagas in various countres across the globe.

them to Daichi, who uses it and equips Ultraman Exceed X with the Beta Spark Armor. Using the Beta Spark Sword, he frees Tiga and Ultraman and fights against Zaigorg. The Cyber Cards of past Ultra Warriors resonates and summons

all of them to fight the Tsurugi Demaagas in the countries where Zaigorg sent them . Exceed X merges with Tiga and Ultraman, creating a huge cyber wing that charges the worldwide Ultra Warriors with the energy needed to finish off Tsurugi Demaaga. Returning to Earth, he quickly
