Ultraman Episodes 26 & 27 -- The Monster Prince Pt.1 and Pt.2. Also known as "Gomora shows up and wrecks up the place." I never saw what the big deal about Gomora was until these episodes. He may not have the most outrageous design but he is tough as hell and has a really strong personality. He is one badass daikaiju!

Overall the two episodes play like a sort of mini-movie. There's a lot of Gomora rampaging through Osaka as well as fighting the JSDF, like you would see in a daikaiju movie. The sequence of Gomora destroying Osaka Castle was feature worthy, for instance. The human plot, with the monster-obsessed young boy who is the titular prince, was cute as well. There's also a scene where the kid plays with his Ultraman and monster toys, which has recognizable Ultra Q Monsters Gomess and Kanegon on display! How neat!

A really fun two-parter with a great foe for Ultraman.
