Episodes 40-51: Commander Black - leader of alien invaders that actually wipes out MAC in their first attack, the Saucer aliens are "living flying saucers" none of them are humanoid,. Commander Black controls the others with a glowing sphere he always has in his hand.. At the end most episodes when his monster is dead he calls for the next one and that monster is seen in the form of a space ship heading for Earth. Then at the beginning of the next episode that same scene is repeated (for the benefit of those who missed the previous episode). The Saucer Creatures useally shrink down to a size small enough to picked up by human who mistake them for sea shells (and in on instance a wounded animal) and carry them to their school, buisness or home where the creature causes havoc before giantsizing so Ultraman Leo can show up to kill it.. Although the view knows from the start that Commander Black exists and that he is controling the monsters, none of the characters actually know about it until the end. For the most part he stands back in the shadows, summons the monsters and curses Ultraman Leo without Ultraman Leo even knowing he exists. Though Leo may suspect someone is controling these Saucer Creatures he doesn't actualy discover who until episode 50, though Commander Black has know who is Ultraman Leo all along. At the end the final episode we will discover why Commander Black never lets go of that glowing sphere.
Episode 40: Silver Bloom - in MAC's space station the crew is celebrating Haruko, Matsuki's birthday within seconds she and the rest of MAC will be dead, Silver Bloom a "living flying saucer" destros the station and the MAC ships that try to evacuate, Otori, Gen survives only because he transforms into Ultraman Leo, Morobashi, Dan vanishes with the station (Ultra Seven will make a brief appearance in the final episode indicating he survived and got a new Ultra Eye), after destroying MAC, Silver Bloom attacks Tokyo, among the dead: Nomura, Takeshi (Jouan Sports Center coach who wanted to join MAC); Yamaguchi, Momoko (Otori, Gen's girlfriend) and Umeda, Kaoru (Tôru's younger sister), Takeshi probably had to die so Ito, Yukioû could go play Midoranger in Goranger but why the others had to die too I don't know, a new character Miyama, Sakiko takes Otori, Gen and Umeda, Tôru into her home outside of London, when Silver Bloom attacks Tôru's new school Ultraman Leo kills it, Commander Black summons Black Dome from the Black Star planet, its only seen as a space ship just starting for Earth
Episode 42: Absorba - a child who cares for wounded and stray animals finds the shrunken Absorba and doesn't head Otori, Gen's warning that a Saucer Creature isn't going to care about humans or animals, Tôru who's sister and foster mother and coach were killed by a Saucer Creature tries to beat the alien to death which just enrages it, when he giantsizes, though Tôru and Gen try to rescue some of the animals it destroys the shack that is their "hopsital" and many die, a sparrow in a cage which was dropped trying to get away seems to be intentionally targeted by the giant monster which shoots fire at it. only after Absorba grabs the two children in one of its tenticles knocking them out does Gen become Ultraman Leo, rescue them and kill it
Episode 44: Black Garon - this saucer monster arrives on Earth as Tôru has started picking fights with a thoughtless kid who brags about the expensive gifts his wealthy father gives him while Tôru and and Ayumi have no fathers, Tôru and Gen are the first to encounter the giant monster which of course tries to stomp them to death, because Commander Black who controls it knows Gen is Ultraman Leo, it has Ultraman Leo down but strangly Commander Black orders it to retreat, the next morning the rich kid finds a "meteorite" which Tôru recognizes is Saucer Creature, the kid of course runs off with it (Saucer Monsters keep attacking this town and yet know one will believe it when they are warned their holding a shrunken version of a Saucer Creature), the boy's father is of course just as stupid (although it might help if Gen would actually identify himself as the last surving MAC officer maybe they'd accept he has some idea what he's taling about)
Episode 46: Hanglar - Commander Black calls for a Saucer Creature strong enough to kill Ultraman Leo, Hanglar is sent, unfortunantly for Commander Black, Leo's brother Astra is always watching out for his older sibling, this is Astra's last appearance in the series (he will be seen in later Ultraman films), being attacking Leo it picks on two brothers destroying the older brothers truck, I find this episode extremly annoyng, giant aliens have been attackin Earth for years, MAC which was trying to fight them was wiped out by the latest invasion attempt, giant monsters frequently appear around this town and yet everybody acts like two people reporting a giant monster are a pair of lunatics. thats like a town with a lot drunk drives and someone reporting one being ignored, it makes no sense, Gen tells the young brother that he had a brother who was tough but kind who was killed by the saucer creatures (a refrence to Morobashi, Dan/Ultra Seven since Leo and Astra were adopted into the Ultra Brothers, whom he belives died during the attack on MAC), its only after Hanglar destroys a bridge full of vehicles (Black Star seems to hate bridges and cars on them) that the brother's story is accepted, Gen is wounded, which means Leo is wounded too. which is why he needs Astra's help (if an Ultra merges with a humans the wounds of one does not pass to the other, Ultra Seven and Leo created their own human forms so wounds they sufffer in either form effects both which is why Morobashi, Dan walked with a lip after Seven's leg was broken), Astra shrinks so he will fit in Hanglar's mouth, flies down the monster's throat and destroys it from the inside out (second episode in which Leo had nothing to do with killing the monster), strangely the series theme begain playing as soon as Astra appeared, I guess they didn't write Astra a song
Episode 48: Satan Moa - (sign) Otori, Gen's oldest and closest friend (whom he's never mentioned once in 47 episodes) who he has not seen in 3 years since they had big fight, is town, Gen is so lost in past memories he doesn't see the strange man, dressed in black and carrying a glowing crystal who comes up behind him and glares at him as he lauighs to himself about the coming death of Ultraman Leo (Gen still doesn't know that Commander Black exists), this old friend is supposed to be a former member of the sports center, this is the first time since episode 40 Gen has mentioned the sports center, I thought he forget it existed, at his old friends photograph exhibit Gen meats another old friend he never mentioned before, his old friend's ex-girlfriend, who's married to someone else and is carrying her infant around with her, naturally Satan Moa attacks the building, why I don't know Otori, Gen has already left it,trapped in the building the mother lets a stranger take her baby out but the stranger puts the babt on the sidewlak, Gen forces Hiroshi to protect it without mentioning who the mother is, for the first time Otori, Gen goofed (the smoke didn't hide him) and was seen by Hiroshi, transforming into Ultraman Leo, Ultraman Leo has to try to hold the building together while Satan Moe tries to knock it down and attack him, Hiroshi doing something decent for once shieds the baby with his body when a mecahnical bird controled by Satan Moe attacks him and the baby, after Satan Moe is dead, Otori, Gen tries to tell Hiroshi who's child he saved but he dies without ever hearing it (so Ultraman Leo's secret is safe, except for that fact tha Commander Black knows), the mother retreaves her child and is sadened by the death of her ex-boyfriend even though he treated her badly 3 years ago
Episode 50: Alien Bunyo - Commander Black complains that Black Star has not sent him another Saucer Creature, when this alien appears, takes on the form of a very strange man, claims not to have power but to have intelligence and that it can trick Ultraman Leo, Otori, Gen comes jogging by (wearing for the first time since episode 40 his sports center uniform), Gen and Bunyo fight, Bunyo runs away when Umeda, Tôru shows up (also in his sports center uniform), Alien Bunyo abducts Miyama, Sakiko so Ultraman Leo will try to save her, Gen trades himself for Sakiko and his hands are tied with a space rope", when Bunyo takes him to meet Commander Black, the Black Star alien tries to kill Gen with a sword but he transforms into Ultraman Leo, but human sized because the unbreakable rope keeps him from being able to giant size, Bunyo freezes Leo and Commander Blacks slices him to death with a saw. As he's dying Leo sends Tôru a telephatic message asking him to find him and bury him, Later Ultraman King arrives and restores Ultraman Leo and now Otori, Gen/Ultraman Leo knows about Commander Black
