HPDBC Chapter 133 Underground Showdown, Dyna's 3 Forms
Chapter 133 Underground Showdown, Dyna's 3 Forms
This is the week following the recovery in public opinion for "Ultraman Dyna".
With the pre-sale of the "True Bone Carving" series merchandise selling out instantly, Gu Nan and Light Chaser Animation once again proved the terrifying potential of the tokusatsu genre with their solid quality and commercial success.
After watching "Awaken, Flying Bird," viewers finally let go of their prejudices against Shin Asuka, who was somewhat roguish and impulsive but gradually learned to take responsibility, and instead developed a nurturing mentality similar to that of an "old father watching his son."
At 8 p.m. on Saturday, the familiar light shone on in front of the television sets of countless families in Jinghai City.
Episode 4, "Final Battle! Underground City".
The story doesn't immediately jump into battle at the beginning, but instead carries a touch of suspense.
Mysterious earthquakes have been occurring frequently in the Aoba City area recently.
Inside the TPC's Super Victory Team command center, Zhongdao, the member in charge of technology research and development, began his search.
He stared at the waveform on the big screen, his brow furrowed.
"This is not a typical crustal movement. The epicenter was about 200 meters underground, and... there was an object that was 60 or 70 meters long moving."
"Sixty or seventy meters?"
Captain Gosuke Kibi crossed his arms. "Looks like it's another monster."
Through Kawamata Mai's tracking and location, the movement trajectory of the epicenter surprisingly showed a strange circle.
And at the center of this circle is the construction site of the "underground city" that is currently under construction.
The scene shifts to the construction site. This is a large-scale development project called "New Territory Underground City".
Xing Xingtian and Xin Feibiao, who were in charge of the investigation, arrived at the scene.
Here, they discovered that a transmitting device called "PW wave" was being used on the construction site.
The waves emitted by this high-tech device can instantly pulverize hard rocks into dust, greatly accelerating the excavation process.
"It seems that this PW wave stimulated the big guy underground."
Asuka looked at the huge launcher and speculated.
Soon, the camera switched to the press conference of the development company.
Standing on the stage is the company's chairman, Tian Lihua (former president of the Tachibana Company).
This is a middle-aged man who looks refined but has a cold gaze.
On stage, he spoke eloquently, showcasing to reporters the grand blueprint for an underground city—a vast underground space with artificial beaches, business districts, and residential areas, representing humanity's first step into a new underground era.
"Humans have always yearned for the universe and wanted to fly into space."
"But in my opinion, we still know nothing about the Earth beneath our feet! Apart from the oceans and the poles, humanity has only utilized 30% of the Earth's surface. The underground is the new territory we should be conquering!" Tian Lihua said excitedly.
These words are not wrong in themselves; in fact, they carry a pioneering spirit.
However, when the Super Victory Team came to them demanding a halt to the project to investigate potential monster threats, a conflict broke out.
"Stop the project? Are you kidding me!"
Tian Lihua slammed his fist on the table in anger, refusing to budge an inch in the face of Captain Hibi's tough stance.
"We thoroughly explored the underground of Aoba City before construction began, and there are no monsters there at all! You can't ruin my life's dream because of this baseless excuse!"
"This is not a baseless accusation."
Kibi Gosuke's voice remained firm, and he persisted in sticking to his point of view.
"The earthquake stopped as soon as the PW wave was turned off; that's the evidence. As the TPC, our priority is ensuring the safety of our citizens."
"Without PW waves, underground cities simply cannot be built!"
Tian Lihua gritted her teeth, "If you can't deal with the monster, then I'll handle it myself!"
This dialogue scene is full of tension.
Viewers watching this scene on television couldn't help but feel moved.
In the past, most monster movies depicted monsters causing mindless destruction, with humans retaliating.
But this episode raises a more practical question: the conflict between human overexploitation and nature.
Just like in the second episode of Ultraman Tiga, how should we balance the conflict between human activities and monsters?
This is a problem.
Tian Lihua is not a villain; he is also a dreamer, but his dreams are somewhat driven by short-sighted ambition.
The plot takes a sharp turn for the worse.
Tian Lihua abused his power and sent security personnel to forcibly detain Koda and Asuka, who came to dissuade him.
"Since the monster hates PW waves, I'll turn it up to the maximum!"
Tian Lihua descended into obsessive madness: "Isn't he annoying? Now that the PW wave is turned up to the maximum, won't it be driven away?!"
With the PW wave power fully turned on, a piercing roar resounded through the sky.
This action thoroughly enraged the creatures underground.
Rumble—!
The earth trembled violently, more violently than any previous earthquake.
"roar--!"
With a muffled roar, the ground collapsed instantly.
A gigantic monster burst forth from the ground!
That was the carnivorous subterranean monster, Daigalen. It had a ferocious appearance, with huge fangs exposed and its body covered with a thick, yellowish-brown carapace, clearly evolved to adapt to the high-pressure environment underground.
The PW wave not only failed to drive it away, but instead acted as a huge lure, luring the hungry predator to the ground.
Due to the landslide, the command post on the construction site collapsed instantly and sank into the underground cavity.
The unfortunate Xin Feiniao, Tian Lihua, and the chairman's female secretary were all trapped in the cramped space of the underground ruins.
Darkness, lack of oxygen, fear.
The female secretary broke down, crying out, "We're going to die here... If only we could turn into ants, then we could crawl out..."
"Ant……"
Tian Lihua paused for a moment when she heard this word.
At this moment, a flashback reveals the inner world of this construction fanatic.
During her childhood, Tian Lihua's favorite thing to do was to observe ants building nests in glass bottles.
Those tiny creatures were able to construct such an exquisite, intricate, and fully functional underground palace.
Why can't humans be like ants?
Tian Lihua murmured to herself, "I believe that humanity will definitely be able to build a more perfect home underground..."
Seeing this, many viewers' dislike for the character lessened somewhat.
He was just too obsessed with the dream of that "new anthill".
He simply firmly believed that humanity could create a better living space underground.
[A truly magnificent and imaginative dream!]
Human beings cannot live without dreams; it is with dreams that we strive to move forward.
The idea itself wasn't wrong; human exploration began with this very idea, but it was too radical, especially in a world with monsters.
Who he is doesn't matter, but his dreams shouldn't threaten the safety of others.
……
Meanwhile, the battle on the ground had already begun.
Super Victory Team's fighter jets roared in.
Shin-Kuriya piloted the Gamma and fired a destructive beam at the monster Daigalon.
Sizzle—Boom!
The beam of light hit the monster, causing a burst of sparks.
But it had no effect!
Daigalen has lived deep underground for a long time, and its skin has evolved to be indestructible. Ordinary light attacks are like tickling to it.
Moreover, due to prolonged hunger, this monster became even more ferocious after being lured out by the PW wave.
Ignoring the aircraft attacks, it frantically destroyed the surrounding buildings and even began searching for refugees—it was looking for food!
"Damn it! This guy's skin is too thick!"
Chung Dao shouted into the communication channel, "We must find a way to attack its interior!"
In the underground ruins, the air grew increasingly thin.
"Mr. Chairman, cheer up!"
Looking at the dejected Tian Lihua, Feibiao shouted, "Didn't you say that was your lifelong dream? Then don't die here!"
"Your dream doesn't just belong to you; your employees, those who yearn for the underground city—they're all watching you!"
The bird's words awakened the light in Tian Lihua's eyes.
Just then, the monster's enormous foot stomped on the ruins, and dirt rained down, threatening to bury the three of them alive.
"Danger!"
Asuka shoved the two aside, and in the instant the dust rose, he didn't even use his transformation device; he simply transformed into light through his willpower.
A beam of intense light pierced through the earth's surface.
Amidst the light, a colossal figure rose from the ground, directly overturning the monster that was standing on its head.
Ultraman Dyna has arrived!
He sent Daigalen flying with a single punch.
The monster Daigalen was enraged and charged forward with a roar.
Dyna, who also had a fiery temper, went straight to meet her.
boom!boom!
The two giant beasts collided.
To the audience's surprise, Dyna, who was agile in the previous episodes, did not have the upper hand in terms of strength this time.
Daigalen was incredibly strong. With a flick of his tail, he sent Dyna flying, sending him crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
[Hideki Go: 666, still a salute to him]
Wow, he became a star in front of the chairman!
[The house collapsed, the birds disappeared, and Dyna appeared... Got it! The house is Dyna.]
[Seriously, this monster is incredibly fleshy!]
[The power of the "shiny" type isn't enough!]
Here, the monster begins to go mad, indicating that its hunger has reached its peak.
Just as Dyna's leg was bitten by Daigalen's mouth, and it seemed he couldn't get away.
He seemed to have also gotten angry.
Dyna clenched his fists and crossed them at the crystal on his forehead.
Om-!
With a deep sound effect, the patterns on Dyna's body changed instantly!
Its body, originally a mix of blue, red, and silver, was instantly covered in crimson.
Silver lines outline the contours of muscles, making the entire body seem to have expanded, exuding an explosive sense of power.
This is Ultraman Dyna's third form—Strong Type!
The suit actor has now been replaced by Wang Zichen, who previously played Seven.
Her robust physique was completely different from her slender, well-proportioned waist.
Holy crap! It's red!
Good grief, it's only in the fourth episode!
[She's the cheerful type, like a bird!]
When Dyna turned red, his aura completely changed.
Instead of leaping like the Shiny type, he took steady steps, walking slowly towards the monster.
Daigalen swung its thick tail again, lashing out at Dyna.
Snapped!
A muffled thud.
Dyna neither dodged nor evaded, but directly took the blow with his chest!
Sparks flew everywhere, but the red giant remained completely still!
He didn't even sway; he simply reached out, patted off non-existent dust from his chest, and then beckoned to the monster with his finger.
The gesture seemed to say: Is that all? Didn't you eat?
The monster was enraged and charged forward with its gaping maw to tear at the beast.
Dyna charged forward and delivered a powerful punch to the monster's chin.
boom! ! !
The force of this punch was so great that it sent the monster, weighing tens of thousands of tons, flying off the ground with its feet off the ground and onto its back!
It's the muscular Dyna!
Wow, that's amazing!
[Monster: I was just hungry, why did you kill me?]
The impact of each punch feels so real!
[Monster suit actor: Am I not human?! Don't I have human rights?!]
The next two minutes were entirely a solo show by the muscular Dyna.
There were no fancy lighting effects, and no complicated movement.
It's pure brute force!
Shoulder throw, back throw, uppercut!
Dyna grabbed the monster's tail and, like swinging a rag doll, swung it around in the air several times before slamming it hard to the ground.
Boom—!
The earth was trembling.
The monster Daigalen was completely stunned. Its proud defense was as fragile as paper in the face of the red giant's monstrous strength.
Finally, Dyna grabbed the tail of the monster, which was already dizzy from being beaten.
Although he didn't use his signature finishing move, "Garnet Bombardment," his wild physical combo alone was enough to blast the monster apart.
Dyna grabbed Daigalen's thick tail, his arm muscles bulging, and swung it up with a sudden burst of strength.
The monster's massive body traced an arc in the air. As Dyna's movements became faster and faster, the entire figure gradually transformed into a spinning whirlwind. Amidst the howling wind, Daigalen's roar was shattered into pieces.
When the force of the rotation reached its peak, Dyna suddenly relaxed and hurled the monster like a cannonball.
Daigelen traced a heavy parabola through the air.
"boom"!
Daigalen crashed heavily onto the distant mountain rocks, the hard rock shattering instantly. Amidst the billowing dust, the monster remained motionless...
This fall caused Daigalen to lose all signs of life.
[Not a buddy? This red form is that powerful?!]
Wow, this is even more impressive than Ultraman Tiga's Power Type!
It actually exploded from being dropped!
[Did he kill the monster by falling, and learn from Leo?]
The red giant slowly stood up, and beneath his red and silver skin, one could almost see a surging, magma-like power.
The battle is over.
The ruins were cleared away, and Tian Lihua looked at the ruins under the setting sun. Although the project was destroyed, he did not despair.
"I will start over."
He said to the bird, his eyes filled with determination, "It's not just for myself, but to build the future for all mankind, like an ant."
The bird smiled, a smile tinged with relief.
This episode concludes with Tian Lihua's reflections, showcasing not only Dyna's new form but also elevating the theme of "exploring new territories."
……
That evening, the topic of "Dyna" once again dominated the Zhihu hot list.
The storyline certainly generated buzz.
However, aside from discussions about the depth of the plot, more attention was focused on the newly introduced red form.
In a question titled "How would you rate the three forms shown in the first four episodes of Ultraman Dyna? How do they differ from Ultraman Tiga's three forms?", one answer received the most upvotes.
The answerer's reply is as follows:
"Thanks for the invitation. I just finished watching the fourth episode, and I'm really fired up."
If we disregard the plot that hasn't fully unfolded yet, judging solely from the combat system and form design, director Gu Nan's ambition for "Dyna" is simply boundless!
Let's first review the three forms Dyna has shown in these four episodes.
1. Flash Type – A balanced warrior, and also the Ultraman most "similar" to his predecessor, Ultraman Tiga.
This is the basic form that appeared in the first episode, in red, blue, and silver. Many people think it's very similar to Ultraman Tiga's composite form. Indeed, in terms of its role, it's a jack-of-all-trades.
Its beam attack, the "Solgent Beam," is quick to activate and powerful. Also, note in episode two that the power of this beam can be adjusted according to Dyna's will.
When fighting Sphia, use single shots; when fighting giant monsters, use charged attacks.
This shape gives me the feeling of being 'standard'.
It boasts good speed, high power, and a wide variety of beam attacks. Using this form to probe the enemy is the safest approach when facing an unknown foe.
2. Miracle Type – Blue-haired superpowered individuals. According to the setting book, is this Gu Laozei's (old scoundrel's) favorite son?
The blue form that appeared in the second episode, to be honest, I was really amazed at the time.
Ultraman Tiga also has an aerial form, but Tiga's blue color mainly represents "speed," the ultimate in speed.
But Dyna's blue... goodness, this isn't just fast, it's practically a mage!
That move, "Lipolum Light Wave," is the skill that sends monsters into black holes; it directly involves spatial rules.
Creating a black hole with your bare hands, guys! What does that even mean?
This means that any monster hit by this skill, no matter how high its defense is, will be banished to the subspace, where physical defense will be completely ineffective.
Furthermore, in this form, Dyna can teleport and create clones instantly. This makes Miracle Type an absolute game-changer when facing monsters with high mobility or special abilities.
I dare say this form will be the nightmare of many overpowered monsters in the future.
Of course, as a trade-off, this form is probably the weakest of the three in terms of defense, and if caught in close combat, it could suffer a great loss.
However, I suspect that Gu Laozei (Gu Laozei) will target Dyna in this form.
3. Strong Type – Red bulldozers, a violent aesthetic.
This is the form that appeared in the fourth episode that just aired.
If you didn't know, who would guess that this thing and that blue mage are the same Ultraman?
If the Miracle build is about maximizing spell damage, then the Strong build is about maxing out physical defense and physical attack.
He could withstand the monster's tail whip without losing health, and wield a monster weighing tens of thousands of tons with one hand like a meteor hammer.
The visual impact is so strong!
Unlike Tiga's Power Type, which is "steady", Dyna's Strong Type exudes a "wild" vibe.
The main punch alone dented Dai Garen's suit; that's some serious visual impact...
All I can say is that suit actors are really inhuman...
The visceral impact of each punch, combined with Asuka's hot-blooded, idiotic personality, well... in a way, it fits the bill.
in conclusion:
Gu Nan took an "extreme" approach in the design of "Dyna".
Tiga's three forms are more for adapting to different environments, switching between air and ground. There are numerical differences, but they are not that outrageous.
But Dyna's three forms are three completely different professions!
The Shiny type is an all-around knight.
The Miracle type is the Spatial Arcane Mage.
The strong type is the berserker.
This opens up endless possibilities for the subsequent battles.
Facing different monsters, Asuka needs to quickly determine which "class" to use to fight; a wrong choice could lead to a tough battle. This strategic element is far more interesting than simply "ball-countering."
……
One last shout: Bandai, you swindler! Hurry up and release the Strong and Miracle types of True Bone Sculptor! I'm buying them all!!
……
The comment section below this answer was also bustling with activity.
"The analysis is very thorough. I also think the miracle type is practically a bug; that black hole skill is too overpowered."
"Upstairs, it's cheating, but it definitely consumes a lot of mana. Didn't you see how the red light flashed like a disco after the ultimate move in the second episode?"
"I'm a Red Party member! The strong type is a man's romance! Quick! I need to fast-forward to the 'Flying Bird's Joyful Type! That feeling of rubbing monsters into the ground is so exhilarating!"
"I really want to see the Strong Type Dyna and the Power Type Tiga on the same stage, it would be so exciting!"
"The angle from upstairs is amazing, let's get out!"
"Indeed, the fighting style in this game is significantly more aggressive than in Ultraman Tiga. Ultraman Tiga's fighting style is like that of a god—elegant and divine. Dyna's fighting style is more like that of a hothead, with all sorts of flashy maneuvers, but it's really exciting to watch."
"That's youth for you! Who talks about martial ethics when they're young? It's all just wild, uncontrolled punches!"
"Whether it's red or blue, the important thing is to release the toy quickly! My wallet is already starving!"
The heated discussions online have directly impacted reality.
This week, Bandai's official website, which just released the Tiga and Dyna True Bone Sculptures, was once again overwhelmed by server traffic.
Although the Strong and Miracle types of True Bone Sculpture have not yet been announced, countless fans have already started frantically urging to place orders on the official Weibo account.
Even more remarkably, some skilled artisans have started buying shiny body paint samples to repaint themselves.
The establishment of these three forms not only enriches the watchability of the plot, but also maximizes its commercial value.
After all, selling three toys for one Ultraman character is the secret to wealth in the tokusatsu industry.
