Synopsis[]

Ultraman Zearth, a new hero from the Nebula Z95, arrived on Earth. By day, he assumes the role of Mydo team member Katsuto Asahi, operating a disguised gas station. While performing tasks like refueling, he diligently trains to become a full-fledged Ultraman.

One day, a global crisis unfolds as gold mysteriously disappears worldwide. This turns out to be the work of Alien Benzene, afflicted by gas overdose syndrome. Despite Zearth's vulnerabilities being exposed, he confronts the Alien Benzene to protect the beauty of Earth.[1]
