Ultraman: Rising ending explained \u2014 is there a post-credits scene? NetflixUltraman: Rising brings the eponymous hero to Netflix subscribers around the world, and we\u2019ve broken down what goes on during the big climax. Somehow, it has taken almost six decades for Ultraman to really break out of Japan. But he\u2019s managed it, in the new movie from Shannon Tindle and John Aoshima. Ultraman: Rising dropped on Netflix Friday, June 14, and we described it as \u201cfun but frivolous\u201d in our review. Now that you\u2019ve had a chance to watch the anime movie, we can break down that huge ending and what might be coming next. Rest assured, this probably isn\u2019t the last we\u2019re seeing of Ken Sato, either, so here\u2019s what the post-credits scene offers up, too. Ultraman: Rising ending explained The climax of Ultraman: Rising is truly glorious. Ken, his father, Gigantron, and the baby kaiju team up to defeat Dr Onda\u2019s mech. They manage to beat him down in a combined laser attack \u2014 a staple of any great anime showdown \u2014 before he activates his self-destruct in defeat. The team considers their options, until Ken, understanding his responsibility and the advice from his father, decides to absorb the blast by encasing himself in a shield around the exploding mecha. We fade into white light, afterward coming to an interview between Ken and Mina. They chat about his season with the Tokyo Giants. Mina states the Giants won the league, an accomplishment she credits to Ken, who responds that it was actually his teammates. He\u2019s injured, and we hear news blasts about Ultraman saving the city from a bomb. The film then switches to Ken and his dad accompanying Gigantron and her child to Monster Island, as another audio from Ken\u2019s mother plays. An appropriately emotional conclusion! What happens to the baby kaiju? The adorable baby kaiju is reunited with her mother, Gigantron. The monster was originally killed by the KDF, then resurrected as Mecha-Gigantron to lure the baby away from Ultraman. During the ensuing fight, Ken and his father convince Gigantron to override KDF\u2019s programming and join their side. Mother and child head to Monster Island, a mythical land only kaiju know the whereabouts of, at the end. Ken and his father are in tow, demonstrating the trust between the Ultramen and the kaiju. Aw! Does Ultraman: Rising have a post-credits scene? Yes, Ultraman: Rising has a post-credits scene, and it\u2019s actually a major twist. Ken is woken up in the middle of the night by a mysterious call on his Ultraman watch from Nebula M78. Who\u2019s on the line? His mother! Thought dead by Ken and his dad, she tells him she\u2019s alive and she needs his help to get home. Is it really her? What happened? Questions for Ultraman: Rising 2, I\u2019m afraid. What is Nebula M78? Nebula M78 is where the Ultraman suit comes from. Various Ultras live within the system, Land of the Light being the main hub from where most originate. So, whatever happened to Ken\u2019s mom involves the Ultras. Perhaps it\u2019s a suggestion we\u2019ll see an evil Ultraman, like Sinestro to Green Lantern \u2014 the possibilities are wide open. That should bring you right up to speed on what happened in Ultraman: Rising.
