■ ULTRAMAN REGULOS Story
The mysterious planet, D60 (リューシー, Ryūshī) is the birthplace of Cosmo Beast Style, a fantastic space martial arts fighting technique where one harnesses the power of the planet's guardians, the Cosmo Beasts. Under the guidance of Master Alude, the Cosmo Beast Fighters trained rigorously.
One day, a young man who had lost all memory except for his name washed ashore on D60. His name was Ultraman Regulos. Recognizing his talent, Master Alude took Regulos under his wing and began to teach him the legendary Cosmo Beast Style, said to be the strongest martial art in the universe…
This is the story of his fierce struggle.
