I wonder if this episode makes more sense in the original language and subtitles. It is probably the most boring episode with the most ridiculous creature in the first Ultraman series. Nothing would be so outrageous until probably Ultraman Taro. Pestar is a starfish monster than likes to eat or drink oil to live. This seems to give it fiery breath on occasion, which is rather dangerous when it comes ashore at an oil refinery. It takes both the Science Patrol and Ultraman to stop it. I would feel more sorry for it, but it's so damn lame it's really hard to not be glad it's gone.Pestar is animated by two actors, who do their best to be menacing, but they can't overcome the design. It has a bat like head in the middle of the costume. Two giant starfish would have been far more menacing, as the costume looks pretty good. When Ultraman Powered was made, they decided to remake this episode. It is not any better. It is all uphill from here!
