History[]
Ultraman Taro[]
An alien invader from an extremely cold world, like others before him, Grost came to Earth to take over. He quickly made a home base out of a construction area and took control of the workers. When a child, Kiyohiko Miyasaka discovered that the alien took cover at a construction area, he warned the workers in the area, but they didn't believe him. Then, when the kid walked out of the construction area, the apartment they worked on started glowing!
When Kiyohiko and his older sister visited his sister's boyfriend, Iwatsubo's construction area, they noticed the people there started acting strange, even Iwatsubo himself. Then as Kiyohiko's sister thought everyone at the construction area was tired, Kiyohiko had no one to reveal the news for the time being.
The next day, Kiyohiko went downstairs in the apartment as the cold was bothering him. Then after some time of exploring what happened, Grost's face pops out of the darkness, blinds the boy, and commands his slaves to stop the child. After running for his life, Kiyohiko finally gets out of the deadly Grost slaves' traps. He tried to tell the police and ZAT but they did not believe him. It seemed like all hope had run out until Kiyohiko remembered that the alien's weakness was heat.
Kiyohiko used coal and other extremely hot objects to defeat the alien's slaves. After he defeated the first wave of slaves. Other more powerful slaves tried to attack him until Kiyohiko had the upper hand and used his flame stick to try to defend himself, only for one of the slaves to freeze the stick! As the kid was getting choked, ZAT finally came to their senses and Kotaro Higashi led to battle against the slaves. After a long struggle as the slaves took out most of the members, Kotaro lent Kiyohiko a ZAT Gun to shoot the Grost face on the wall. This turns Grost into a giant monster but frees the former slaves.
Kotaro turned into Ultraman Taro and saves everyone in the building. Grost sees Taro with his back turned and decides to use his Freezing Gust to weaken Taro. Ultraman Taro was then nearly frozen to death. ZAT tried to attack the alien in their jets, but they were frozen as well. Then, as a last hope, Taro used the King Bracelet to melt all the ice and restore his life. As Grost was about to die of the heat, Taro blows him up into many pieces, leaving all of the construction workers at peace.
