Yapool's Dimension • ヤプールの異次元

A neat way for Ultras to deal with kaiju in the Showa era was to cut them up, be it decapitation, slicing into two, three, or even nine pieces. For the most part these are unbelievably violent for today's standards, but many fans still love them. For a few examples, Ultraman segmented Red King II into three blocks, Ultraseven famously slashed off Eleking's head causing all that purple internal stuff to gush out, and Jack removing Gronken's limbs traumatically. Of course, there's Ace. Just to name a few victims of Ace's cutting techniques: Vakishim, Doragory, Sphinx, Barbaras and Jumbo King getting decapitated, King Kappa, Metron Jr. getting sliced vertically, the sad Bad Ballon losing his head and then getting his body split in two. There was a great deal of realism put into the scenes, such as Metron's guts flowing out, or painting things like bones in the wound. There seemed to be not much consideration for child appropriateness with this level of graphic ...

There were great superhero shows. There were horrible superhero shows. And then, there is VR Man. VR Man was a superhero drama produced by Mediacorp and aired in 1998. It was an extremely unusual genre for Singaporean dramas. VR Man was said to be "Singapore's first superhero". Now the show is remembered and recognised even by those who have not watched it, but mostly due to it's notoriety. The basic story is as follows. A computer engineer, Alex Foo, gets pushed off the railings in a shopping mall and falls several stories. He is taken to be experimented on with a procedure that had killed all previous subjects. He survives, and gains the power to project virtual reality objects using a thing called the Solidifier. This is called "virping" (virtual reality projection) for short, and also because his power had to have a "cool" name for the sake of it. And he gains new powers like telekinesis and incisibility for no apparent reason in certai...

There has been an urban legend circulating along the lines of  Ultraman destroying a city in the final episode of the series . For Ultraman fans, it would be obvious that this is not true. The memorable final episode featured Zetton, a kaiju even Ultraman could not defeat, probably shocking a lot of kids in those days. However, a considerable number of people have memories of watching such an episode on TV of Ultraman causing mass destruction. Some even say he teams up with a monster to go on a rampage. What is this? A Mandela Effect ?? Such rumours have been circulating since the 1980s in Saitama Prefecture in Japan. There is an explanation for this. A tokusatsu show by the name of Iron King , featuring   an Ultraman-like hero, was rebroadcast on Television Saitama from 1985 to 1986. The final episode of this series, episode 26, does not actually end with the hero destroying everything, though. Such a scene appears at the end of the second-last episode , episode 25. Of co...
