Monster Zero x SciFi Japan - Archive Only

No offense to Ultraman Lah...but they and similar web-sites have really dropped the ball when it comes to the news related to the Ultraman Mebius series itself. Even the forums seem surprisingly lacking in up-to-date episode info.

Since the MZ forum has been a big help to me in the past, does anyone here know what monsters and aliens appeared in which episode from #16 and forward? I already know what happens in what from episode #1 to #15, the latter featuring the rock monster Gromite.

Some people may also be cynical enough to think I just have to match up monster and alien names to episodes from the lists found within the two Wikipedia links I've posted. But as the more realistic of us know that's a pretty poor way to go about this accurately, as some episodes feature multiple kaiju or one kaiju per multiple episodes.

I hope you can help me out, even with a small amount of answers, and I will make acknowledgments to any that can offer useful information. Major thanks in advance.

Windam armed with a flame thrower...sweet! Now my last question for the day, is it true Gudon, Nova and Z-Ton were made into good guy Capsule Monsters? Or did they all go bad again and met their deaths soon after?

And since you've seen these episodes, is the idea of only having the Capsule Monster work for a minute kind of sucks, compared to Ultraseven's unlimited battle lengths?

Nova may be technically an obscure monster, but it's origin is part of Japanese folk culture. The shape of Nova is taken from the Teruteru Bozu, which is an talisman, made from white cloth with a face draw on it, which is hung from the eaves of a house during rainy weather, to invoke clear skies. This is why Nova was brought back, because it is universally understood by everyone in Japan, not just Ultraman fans.

The Teruteru Bozu has been used in many, many movies and television shows -- including anime and live action science fiction. Check out the link for a little cultural lesson the the Teruteru Bozu:

Who said you never learned anything from Ultraman? Japanese folklore is awesome!

There are also rumors that:

SCROLL BELOW FOR POSSIBLE SPOILER!
































Mefilas may show up towards the end of the series to clash with Ultraman Mebius. I really hope this is true. I've been waiting for a proper return of Mefilas since his original Ultraman episode. The other episode he showed up in with another Ultra series is complete garbage so I personally don't count it has is "official return" though I'm sure it's cannon per Tsuburaya.

From reading over at Lah, the final episodes may involve some very strong seijin that battle Mebius and he is helped by the Ultra brothers.

Perfect time for the original Ultraman to come to Mebius's rescue and then
continue his battle with Mefilas from the original episode!

I could imagine it going something like this:

After Mefilas has basically beaten Mebius, we see a red orb descend
from the sky over Mebius's lifeless body.

Mebius's body rises into the red orb is brought in front of Zoffy whom says Mefilas is too tough for the "young Mebius" to beat alone and then summons Ultraman.

Zoffy

Mefilas-Seijin has returned to Earth and I have summoned you, Ultraman, to face Mefilas once again. You fought him bravely many years
ago to defend the Earth and it's people and you are now needed once
more. Go forth now Ultraman and defeat Mefilas!


We see a brilliant flash of light and then see Ultraman standing in front of Mefilas. The rematch we've been waiting for is about to take place!




Mefilas

Finally, we meet again Ultraman! When we first met, we were evenly matched. Now we will find out who is indeed the strongest. My prize-The
Earth and it's people I will rule over! Hahahaha!

Ultraman

You will never defeat me! The Earth and it's people are noble and peace loving, as we Ultramen are! I will not permit you to take over their Earth!
Let us finish what began many years ago Mefilas, let me show you the
true power of Ultraman!


Kind of corny I know but I'd love to see something similiar.
