Ultraman Blazar is airing a special recap episode this week taking a look at the threats that SKaRD, the Special Kaiju Reaction Detachment, has faced so far, but just because the show doesn’t have a new threat for us this week does not mean more are not coming! The world of Blazar is filled with new, varied Kaiju whose natures defy all understanding, and so we at Ultraman Connection have resolved to inform — nay, warn — viewers of these titans of tooth and claw. This bulletin, however, is special, as our subject seems to be more than just a simple beast…
The name of Njikagachi the Iridescent Kaiju, has been spoken of in folklore for generations as a sort of deity, capable of bringing both life-giving rain and apocalyptic destruction. Though not much information about this Kaiju has survived the passing of the years — though he is registered at 60 meters tall and 40,000 tons — legends of upside-down rainbows as Nijikagachi’s heralds have persisted to the modern day. When those very same upside-down rainbows are seen again, you can be sure that the rainbringer, Nijikagachi, has returned — but will he bring with him bounty, or the end of all things?
There’s only one way to find out the answer to that question, and that’s to keep watching Ultraman Blazar until he appears. Blazar airs every Friday night on the Ultraman Official Youtube Channel, and Ultraman Connection — Don’t miss it!
