Synopsis[]

Impressed by the sacrifices of Seiji Hokuto and Yuko Minami by protecting the people during an attack of Verokron who was created by Dimension Man Yapool, the 5 Ultra Brothers gave the two humans lives, and send their new member Ultraman Ace to be their human host to fight off a age of new monsters know as Terrible-Monsters.

Plot[]

In 1972, sometime after the second age of monsters had ended. A new threat has arrived in the form of the Yapool, a race of interdimensional beings. They bring with them genetically, altered cyborgian creations called Terrible-Monster, or Super Beasts; more powerful lifeforms unlike any other seen before. The first such creature leading the attack is Verokron. Sent to destroy Fukuyama, the Earth Defense Force is powerless to stop the monster's advance. Seiji Hokuto, a bakery delivery man, and a nurse named Yuko Minami are killed in the destruction while trying to help fleeing citizens. Ultraman Ace, accompanied by four other Ultra Brothers, appears and revives the two bestowing upon them Ultra Rings that, when shining, allows them to transform into Ultraman Ace. Hokuto and Minami become members of TAC (Terrible-monster Attacking Crew), a Self Defense Force funded by thr global combat organization tasked with battling the Yapoolian threat and their army of inter-dimensional monstrosities

Verokron is seen again with new missiles used by it. TAC weakens the beast with Seij and Yuko being told by Ace about the Ultra Rings. Then as Verokron destroys Seij's plane, Seij and Minami turn into Ultraman Ace. Ace is nearly defeated by Velekron but Ace uses the Metalium Beam to finish Verokron. The age of Yapool and the Terrible-Monster had begun.
