 Episode 1. 

A pod is found and contains a holographic message from a Yuzare (an ancient who looks suspiciously like a Japanese woman wearing a white wig), who foretells the resurrection of Super-Ancient Monsters. There is a giant pyramid in Japan that will be humanity's salvation when this happens, and Tiga must be resurrected by... but then the message is cut off, which bums everyone out. I kept thinking in my head, "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi... you're my only hope..." Anyway, GUTS goes to the pyramid of Tiga, where Daigo and friends find statues of three Ultramen, one of which is Tiga. Alas, monsters Golza and Melba start attacking the pyramid, and succeed in destroying two of the statues (neither of which was Tiga, of course). Tiga eventually merges with Daigo and is resurrected.

Other interesting characters that are important to the finale... a psychic man who feels he shares a special bond with Tiga because they both have superhuman powers, but resents him at the same time because Tiga is idolized for his abilities, whereas the man has been reviled and treated as a freak since childhood. There is also Keigo Masaki, a man who shares DNA similar to Daigo and thus has the ability to transform into an Ultraman himself... he manages to beat Daigo silly and steal his Spark Lense, and transform into Evil Tiga.

The final battle in the series is with Gatanozoh-a, a giant upside-down snail monster who engulfs the earth in darkness. Tiga's timer runs out and is turned back into a stone statue. However, the light of children around the world (including an African-American boy in the ruins of New York City, as well as an European-American who is living in a tee-pee for some reason), as well as Rena, revive Tiga. He becomes Glitter Tiga, and his weapons are far more powerful. Unfortunately, the cheesy scenes that pander to children involve the kids trying to do Tiga poses in unison.
