Synopsis

In this world, there once was a figure called the Giant of Light. After completing his mission, he had gone back to his homeland. He had erased all memories relating to him, giving humans the peace they once had. The story is based on a world where the Giant of Light is now the past.

The high schooler, Shinjiro Hayata, notices that he has "special powers". Unbelievable jumping skills, strength well over humans, and a body too powerfully built were just enough for him to realize he is not "normal".

One day, he finds out that his father was once Ultraman. Shinjiro who has inherited those genes is one of the few who can wear the Ultra Suit.
