Ultraman Episode 25 -- The Dreaded Comet Tuisphon. This episode was like two different stories combined -- one, about the titular comet coming close to Earth and causing cosmic wonkiness, the other about the monsters Red King, Gigas and Dorako fighting. Both aspects are good but they do seem a little at odds with each other.

All three monsters are great. Red King is of course classic. He really fights like a puroresu heel in this episode, including putting Dorako in a modified Boston Crab. (He pulls his tail instead of his leg.) Gigas is amazing simply because he is a modified version of the Jamil costume. And Dorako is sort of like a proto-Gigan, being a space monster with hooks for hands and strange wings on his back.

Also has some great location shots of the Japanese Alps!
