Ultraman: Rising

Ultraman: Rising (2024) is an animated action-adventure from Netflix and Tsuburaya Productions you can watch online on iFILM. Director Shannon Tindle blends classic tokusatsu spectacle with a story about a son who never wanted to follow his father's footsteps — until he had no choice. Christopher Sean leads the cast, with Gedde Watanabe as his father.

Ken is a baseball star who left Japan to escape his complicated family past. When his father is sidelined and Tokyo comes under attack from giant kaiju, Ken reluctantly suits up as Ultraman. The job turns even more complicated when he ends up raising a baby monster — a creature the world wants destroyed. Between stadium crowds and city-leveling battles, Ken learns what it actually means to protect something.
