Chapter 178 In the Light of Destiny
"I... am not in it for winning or losing."
"I fly to...move forward!"
As this line fell to the floor.
The exciting background music suddenly exploded!
At this moment, the comments in the live stream exploded like never before!
[It's getting exciting!!]
Flying forward! This is Dyna! This is the new era!
There is a kind of bird in the world that has no claws; it can only fly, and fly without stopping!
[Asuka finally understood! He wasn't fighting with his father; he was inheriting his father's will!]
Why is Asuka so persistent about this test? One reason is to keep moving forward, and the other is that it's proof of his father's existence. This is the closest he's ever been to his father in all these years, and it's also a fulfillment of a childhood wish: "I've won against my father, and I've won against myself."
This is the true inheritor of light!
Forward! Forward! Forward!!!
In the scene, as Asuka's belief was established, the state of Plasma Hyakushiki miraculously returned to stability.
After repeated attempts, Asuka finally overcame both physical and mental limits.
"We did it, squad leader..."
Asuka sat in the cockpit, drenched in sweat, yet a relieved smile appeared on her face. "The gate... did you see it?"
With Asuka's success, a long-forgotten memory became completely clear in his mind.
It turns out that the man who came to Shin's house after he went missing and personally told young Asuka the bad news was none other than the head of the Daimon squad!
When the young bird cried and pounded on the gate, the gate's eyes were filled with pain and self-reproach.
This huge blow caused Asuka to selectively forget this memory, until today when she finally remembered it.
And the class monitor, Daimon, finally revealed to Asuka the real reason why he had been so vehemently opposing Asuka's participation in the test.
"I don't want you to be the pilot of this fighter jet."
The gate was turned away from the birds, and its voice was hoarse.
Asuka asked, "Is it really just because my father... he didn't come back, that's all?"
"That's right."
The gatekeeper turned around, looking at the bird with a hint of relief in his eyes. "While you were piloting this thing, I was thinking to myself... whether it would be my turn to pilot the Zero Drive?"
Upon seeing this, Old Tang nodded in sudden realization: "Brothers, we've solved it! Sergeant Da Men wasn't targeting Fei Niao at all; he's just being stubborn! He feels this is a one-way street, and he'd rather die himself than let his old friend's only son take the risk!"
[Tears welling up! The gatekeeper is a true hero!]
Beneath the devil's exterior lies the gentlest heart.
This kind of camaraderie is so touching, it brings tears to my eyes.
However, just as this warmth dissolved the estrangement between the two.
A piercing, highest-level red alert suddenly rang out simultaneously throughout the entire Carlo base and even the TPC Far East headquarters on Earth!
"Warning! Warning!"
On the big screen, the giant comet that appeared at the beginning of this episode is hurtling straight toward Earth at an incredibly terrifying speed!
If left unchecked, the entire world will suffer a devastating blow!
The base staff, sweating profusely, calculated the data: "The explosion limit is outside the solar system! Only by detonating there will the scattered debris not affect Earth!"
"But even if we drive the Alpha at full speed right now, we simply can't reach that distance!"
A shadow of despair instantly enveloped everyone.
"Let me go!"
Shin Asuka suddenly stepped forward, his eyes filled with unwavering determination. "Let me deploy the Plasma Hyakushiki!"
"No!"
The gatekeeper instinctively yelled a refusal.
Fei Niao, however, did not back down. He looked at the gate and retorted with the same words the gate had just used to reprimand him: "Gatekeeper, didn't you just say that you wanted to fly for a more important and greater goal? Now is the time!"
The gatekeeper froze. Looking at the young man before him, whose eyes burned with the same fervor and determination as his old friend, his resolve finally wavered.
He was deeply moved by the bird's words.
"good!"
The gatekeeper gritted his teeth and immediately ordered, "Equip the Plasma Type 100 with high-performance missiles capable of destroying meteorites! Prepare for attack!"
……
In the TPC command center, far away on Earth.
Upon learning of this, Captain Hibiki was furious and immediately contacted the lunar base, wanting to question Daimon about why he had sent Asuka on such a suicidal mission.
However, before the old squad leader could speak, Asuka's communication cut in.
On the screen, Asuka sat in the cockpit of the Plasma Hyakushiki. Although she was wearing a helmet, her smile was incredibly bright.
"Captain, please don't be angry with Mr. Daimon."
Asuka's voice was soft, yet it carried a calm that seemed ready to face death. "To be honest, I'm really happy. Even if Mr. Daimon scolds me, I really... really want to settle things with Dad."
"This must be the first and last chance for me to compete with my dad."
Asuka looked at the camera, as if she were looking at everyone in the command center, "Please don't worry... I will definitely come back safely!"
As the bird delivered its farewell, which sounded like a final testament, a deathly silence fell over the command room.
Gong Liang covered his mouth, his eyes instantly reddening.
Captain Hibiko looked at the young teammate on the screen who usually gave him a headache but was now shouldering the fate of all mankind. All his words were finally expressed in the emotion in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his inner turmoil, and abruptly turned around, loudly issuing one of the most exhilarating commands in the entire play:
"Super Victory Team! All troops, move out!"
"Okay, let's go get the bird!"
"yes!!!"
[Ahhhh! This is so exciting!]
This is the Super GUTS team! This is family!
[Asuka! You must come back alive!]
The scene changes.
In the cold, dark universe, the Plasma Hundred Style transformed into a dazzling silver meteor.
The numbers on the speedometer were jumping wildly, getting closer and closer to the acceleration threshold of Zero Drive.
The violent shaking made everything inside the cockpit blurry.
Just as it was about to break through the critical point.
Before Asuka's eyes, the strange light he had seen during the test appeared again, the same light his father had seen back then!
The endless light, warm and magnificent, seemed so incredible in the cold and desolate depths of the universe.
The light slowly enveloped the bird, just like a father's broad, warm hand gently stroking his cheek.
The bird closed its eyes, feeling the warmth that transcended time and space, and a reassuring smile appeared on its lips.
"Light...please."
The bird murmured softly, "Guide me!"
"Right here!"
Om-!
The machine has completely left the communication range and successfully entered Zero-type drive mode!
Guided by the light, the Plasma Hundred seemed to transcend the limitations of space, arriving outside the solar system in just an instant!
Not far away, the enormous "comet" carrying an aura of destruction was rapidly approaching.
"Take this!"
Without any hesitation, Asuka decisively pressed the launch button.
The high-performance missile, trailing a long plume of flame, precisely struck the comet.
Rumble—!!!
A massive explosion erupted in space, successfully detonating the comet!
Just as Asuka breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to celebrate her victory.
"roar--!"
A deep, terrifying roar suddenly came from the smoke and dust of the explosion!
Amidst the shocked gazes of viewers across the internet, a colossal creature with an enormous size and ferocious appearance broke through the flames of the explosion and headed straight for the Plasma Hundred Style!
It is none other than the comet monster hidden within the comet—Gagared!
Holy crap! There are monsters too?!
[I knew this comet was weird! How could that old scoundrel Gu only let the bird hit a rock!]
[This is a trap! A monster is hiding inside a comet, planning to attack Earth!]
Faced with this sudden and terrifying enemy, Asuka remained completely calm.
His eyes narrowed, and he pulled out the Flash Sword from his robes, raising it high.
"Dyna—!!!"
A dazzling light burst forth in the universe!
Ultraman Dyna makes a grand entrance in the deep space outside the solar system!
The battle erupted instantly.
Gagard's defense was incredibly strong. Facing Dyna's punches and kicks, it not only did not back down, but also used its massive mass to deliver a fierce rocket headbutt, slamming Dyna hard onto a barren asteroid!
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle in this rocky asteroid zone.
This is Dyna's most dangerous battle yet!
This was also Dyna's loneliest battle!
Far from the sun, this was a battle fought without any teammates' help and without anyone knowing about it!
If you fail, you really will die!
The tense and oppressive atmosphere, coupled with the rousing battle background music, creates an extremely strong sense of pressure.
Dyna nimbly tumbled and leaped among the rocks, dodging the monster's fierce attacks.
Just as Gagard opened the gap in his abdomen, preparing to unleash his ultimate attack!
It's now!
Dyna astutely seized upon this fleeting opening!
He suddenly crossed his arms into a cross!
A Solgent Ray, fired instantly without any charging or wind-up, struck Gagard's unsuspecting weak point in the abdomen with perfect accuracy, just like a blue lightning bolt!
boom--!!!
A tremendous explosion resounded through the void.
Gagard let out a piercing scream as his massive body shattered completely in the light, turning into dust in the universe.
The battle ended cleanly and decisively.
[Awesome! That instant luminous light is so smooth!]
Dyna's battle intelligence keeps evolving; he finds weaknesses and delivers a fatal blow!
We won! Earth is safe!
After the battle, Asuka returned to the cockpit of the Plasma Hyakushiki.
He floated in weightless space, looking at the vast starry sky outside the window, tears welling up in his eyes, but unable to fall because of the weightlessness.
At that moment, he recalled a conversation he had with his father when he was a child.
It was a meadow under the starry sky, warm and peaceful.
"Daddy, are you scared when you fly in space?" the little bird asked, snuggling in its father's arms.
"I'm scared, very scared." Shinichi Ma hugged his son tightly, his voice gentle yet firm.
"However, Dad will definitely come back to you."
"Um!"
"So that I can fly in space again next time... so that I can fly in space forever."
My father's smile remains so warm in my memory.
The bird gazed at the light that had once swallowed its father, yet had just guided it, and murmured softly, "Father..."
Just then, several familiar lights appeared in the darkness not far away.
It's a Super GUTS fighter jet!
They really came to pick him up!
"What's wrong?" Koda asked, looking at the reflection in the distance from the cockpit, somewhat puzzled.
"Just now, I think I saw a light!" Ryo exclaimed excitedly, pointing ahead. "Ah! That's...that's Asuka's plane!"
"Alright! Go! Go!" Captain Hibi excitedly gave the order.
I could hear my companions' anxious yet joyful voices coming through the communicator.
The bird's tears finally flowed.
He looked at the boundless universe and a radiant smile spread across his face.
"dad……"
"I'm alive."
Amidst melodious and touching background music, a somber narration brought the episode to a perfect close.
"In the year 20XX, thanks to the efforts of the Asuka crew, the Zero-drive navigation method made a leap forward..."
The screen gradually darkens, and the ending theme song "I Just Want to Protect You" begins to play softly.
Old Tang's live stream was now completely filled with tears and emotion.
[Sobbing, I'm still alive! That sentence is so heartbreaking!]
The bond between father and son, the romance of men—Gu Laozei (Old Master Gu) was absolutely phenomenal in this episode!
[A pioneer in a new era, this episode has such a lofty vision!]
Old Tang took off his glasses, wiped his eyes, took a deep breath, and began his post-match summary as he looked at the scrolling subtitles on the screen.
"Guys, no exaggeration, this is definitely one of my personal favorite episodes of Dyna!"
Old Tang took a sip of water to calm himself down. "People might only see the monster-fighting and father-son relationship in the plot, but the details and the director's metaphors are simply unparalleled masterpieces by Dyna to date!"
Old Tang typed rapidly on the keyboard, bringing up several screenshots from earlier.
"First, let's talk about the writing process behind this episode."
As far as I know, Gu Laozei's father is a very powerful entrepreneur in Xia Country. Presumably, such a powerful father has had a profound influence on Gu Laozei's growth. Compared to fatherly love and the image of a father, Gu Nan also has a different understanding.
In the story, what he wanted to focus on was what the image of "father" truly meant to Asuka.
"Furthermore, did you notice the lighting and color contrast in this episode?"
Old Tang pointed at the screenshot and began to analyze it with great enthusiasm.
"When Class Leader Daimon first appeared, the top-down lighting directly highlighted his complex emotions and his aloofness. Also, in the lounge, Daimon sat in the light source while the three instructors stood in the shadows; this contrast between light and shadow clearly conveyed their drastically different views on Asuka!"
Comments of agreement flooded the screen.
Old Tang is right, the use of light and shadow here is simply cinematic.
Director Gu's attention to detail is truly obsessive.
No wonder it looks so high-quality; it's all about the details!
Old Tang continued, "The most brilliant part is Asuka's three flashbacks! The first time, Asuka was unconscious, and in her memory, there was a warm, golden sunset, but in reality, it was a cold, green-glowing infirmary. This extreme contrast between warm and cool colors instantly intensified Asuka's sense of loss and confusion!"
"In the second flashback, Asuka overcame the difficulties and strengthened his resolve. At this moment, the light source in reality turned into a neutral white light, representing the healing of his inner scars, and his emergence from confusion!"
"The last time, the very end! Against the backdrop of a starry meadow, against the natural night sky, the bird is once again bathed in white light. This transition from black to white amplifies the bird's longing for its father countless times!"
Old Tang leaned back in his chair, his voice becoming somewhat wistful: "And, brothers, have you ever thought about this? What if Asuka's father, Xin Yima, didn't actually die when he disappeared back then, but instead transformed into a being of light?"
These words immediately caused an uproar in the live stream.
Yes, I had the same guess!
That part wasn't just a hint, it was practically an explicit statement!
[This is terrifying to think about! Could that light have been...?]
Yes! The light the bird saw was as gentle as a father's hand!
"That's right!"
Old Tang slammed his hand on the table. "So, what Father said in his memory wasn't actually a broken promise! He really did return to the bird's side, transforming into that light, silently protecting his son ever since!"
"The spirit of this new era is not only the boldness of 'venturing into uncharted territories,' but also a delicate emotion. Pioneer heroes dedicated themselves to exploring the unknown, while also protecting those they cherished. Kazuma transformed into the light of the universe to protect his son; Shin Asuka protected Ryo, his comrades, and the Earth! They all pioneered the future to protect it!"
Old Tang looked at the camera, his eyes shining brightly: "This is what Dyna told us: the driving force behind humanity's continuous progress! With an indomitable will, we fly towards the light, towards the distance, for tomorrow!"
With Lao Tang's extremely hardcore and emotionally charged in-depth analysis, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room was pushed to its climax.
Countless messages of "believe in miracles" and "fly to move forward" filled the entire screen.
Episode 29 of "Ultraman Dyna" captivated audiences once again with its exquisite romance and touching moments on this night!
