MOTW- Seaboz

 

The Science Patrol finds a Graveyard of Monsters in "The Ultra Zone".  In space, of course.  They see and name several monsters from previous episodes, some of whom were not named in the US dubs.  They then see an unknown monster, and of course, that is Seaboz.  Later on, a research rocket crashes into the poor beast and brings it to Earth, where it causes havoc trying to return to space.  The Science Patrol and Ultraman feel bad for some of the monsters they had to destroy in previous episodes, and they want to help Seaboz get back to it's "home".  Another rocket is painted like Ultraman, and eventually the creature is returned to space.

This was the first episode of Ultraman I ever remember seeing.  It is my favorite for a wide variety of reasons, one of which was how many monsters were shown in cameos.  It was a lot.  There is no real fight scene in here either.  I love it.  The Graveyard of Monsters is a great idea, and let the viewers know Ultraman isn't always willy nilly destroying monsters.
