This series is a follow up to the original Ultraman and Ultraseven. The first episode begins with a fight between two giant monsters Takkong and Zazahn in Tokyo. Amid the monster destruction, young race-car driver Hideki Goh is killed while trying to rescue a little boy and a dog from the falling rubble. His valiant sacrifice is noted by everyone, even his friends and the new defence force MAT (Monster Attack Team), but an unseen being also takes notice. Looking over him is "New Ultraman (Ultraman Jack)", who is so touched by his heroics that he decides to bring him back to life by combining his own life-force with Hideki's, thus bringing him back to life (just like the original Ultraman did to Shin Hayata), much to everyone's astonishment. MAT asks him to join the team, which he does, especially since, in this frightening new "Age of Monsters", the earth will need a saviour. In times of crisis, Hideki Goh will raise his right arm, and by his force of will, he transforms into Ultraman Jack to fight the menace.
