This is where things get interesting. Ken, not exactly prepared for fatherhood, finds himself reluctantly adopting the baby Kaiju. Now, not only must he fight off monstrous threats, but he also has to deal with the challenges of raising a giant, fire-breathing toddler. The trailer hints at some hilarious moments as Ken struggles to balance his superhero duties with diaper duty.

Adding to the chaos are the Kaiju Defense Forces, a human organization dedicated to protecting the world from Kaiju. Unfortunately, they see the baby Kaiju as a potential threat and will stop at nothing to capture it. With the authorities after him and a giant monster baby to care for, Ultraman: Rising promises to be a wild and action-packed adventure.
