In Episode 1 of Ultraman Omega, we meet Kosei Hoshimi. Kosei could be anybody you know — just a young man trying to make a life for himself, living out of the warehouse he works in for a living. He enjoys the simple things, like a cool drink after a run, and microwaved yakisoba in front of the TV.
So tell us — could you remain friendly if you walked into your room and saw a stranger eating your meal?
OK, maybe Kosei’s a bit kinder than the average person?
When confronted with the mysterious amnesiac alien, Omega, and his tremendous power — in a world where there’s no such thing as Kaiju, mind you — Kosei affirms his own humanity by treating Omega with humanity, giving him the name Sorato Okida and welcoming him into his home.
Omega may be an Ultraman, and Ultras protect humanity because of their potential — but the thing about amnesia is that Omega doesn’t know that. It’s his bond with Kosei that shows him that this planet is worth his efforts to defend from Kaiju that they know nothing about.
Perhaps that’s why Kosei is the one to establish a connection with the mysterious Meteokaiju… But that’s a story for another time. Make sure you follow Kosei’s story in Ultraman Omega when it airs every week on Youtube, and to learn more about this brand new world, make sure to stick close to Ultraman Connection!
