Oh my... does anyone here remember the last three
episodes of Ultraman Tiga? Tiga fought this tentacled
thing that now kinda reminds me of Cthulhu. The creature
was referred to as the "Lord of Darkness" in the local
dub and if I remember correctly, it awoke from somekinda ruin under the sea to mark the end of the world. Also,
demons (monsters) appeared all over the globe. GUTS
killed one or two, but the same creature reappeared.
There was even this black mist that acted as if it
was alive and it penetrated the GUTS H.Q. Man, and
I used to think that Tiga's final enemy was kinda
corny... you know, looking like a nautilus and all.
It looked very formidable though. I think that was
their own version of Cthulhu. If I'm not mistaken,
a saw the word "Cthulhu" (probably in katakana) in
the title, but wasn't paying enough attention to it.
Besides, it is only now that I got a clearer definition
of the word.
On the lighter side, it was kinda interesting that
Ultraman made more than just a cameo appearance in
the fourth to the last episode. I'm expecting Tiga
too to make a comeback later in the Ultraman Dyna
series. Which reminds me, has anyone else here
played the "Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna" game?

But I got the spelling I now use from an Iczer trading card.

Okay. Uh... can you give me, erm, us, a sample of a
terrifying instance in the story? I'm kinda intrigued.
