Ultraman Omega is the latest Ultraman Series entry, with Episode 1 airing on the evening of July 4th in the United States, and it offers a pretty interesting premise — What if our Ultra Hero didn’t know much of anything at all?
Sorato Okida is the assumed name of the fallen giant Omega, an amnesiac who only has a tangential understanding of his powers, and an awareness of the mysterious Kaiju. In fact, he’s the only one who seems to know anything about Kaiju, recognizing creatures like Graim and Dugrid instinctively and being able to name them.
It’s everything else that seems new and novel to him — especially food, with the flavors of meals like yakisoba constantly compelling him (and let’s face it, who among us isn’t compelled by the amazing food) to sample new things… much to his new friend Kosei’s chagrin when his lunch gets snatched up and eaten by Sorato again…
Thankfully, Sorato’s amnesia doesn’t seem to have dulled his fighting instincts as Ultraman Omega — which is good, as the crimson hero is the only defender on a planet that has no concept of Kaiju!
How will Sorato’s missing memories alter the trajectory of his destiny? How will it affect Earth’s destiny? There’s only one way to find out — and that’s to watch Ultraman Omega — now on Youtube! To learn more about the Ultraman Series and Ultraman Omega, stay close to Ultraman Connection!
