Ultraman Orb season 1 episode 13, "Cleanup of the Heart," follows the story of Gai Kurenai, who discovers that the Earth is in danger from an alien threat. He embarks on a mission to protect the planet with the help of two friends, Naomi and Jetta. In this episode, Gai and Naomi find themselves in a mysterious new world called The Land of Light where they come up against a monster named Zetton.
The episode opens with Gai and Naomi stepping into an unfamiliar terrain, surrounded by vividly colored flowers. They soon come across a frozen lake with strange crystals sparking in the light. As they try to make sense of this bizarre new world, they are confronted by a powerful foe in the form of a giant monster named Zetton. Zetton blocks their path and confronts them, not giving them a chance to escape. Gai and Naomi realize that they have to fight if they want to survive.
Gai transforms into Ultraman Orb, his alter-ego, to fight Zetton. The two engage in a heated battle, exchanging blows and blasts of energy. They are evenly matched until Zetton uses its energy to reveal its true form- a massive, flying creature. Ultraman Orb fights back as Zetton unleashes a barrage of attacks. In a fierce battle, the two continue to exchange blows until Ultraman Orb is able to injure Zetton.
The Land of Light is then revealed to be protected by a group of individuals known as the Guardians, who come to Ultraman Orb's aid. At first, Ultraman Orb is hesitant to trust these new characters, but his doubts are soon dissipated when they reveal that they share the same goal of protecting the Earth. The Guardians also reveal that Zetton was trapped in The Land of Light as a prisoner, and was finally able to escape thanks to a large explosion caused by the monsters Ultraman Orb has previously fought.
The episode then takes a deeper turn as we learn about the Guardians' backstory and how they all ended up in The Land of Light. We also see Orwell, a human, who has been traveling with the Guardians and learning more about their culture. Ultraman Orb realizes that the Guardians need his help and decides to join forces with them. Together, they fight the escaped Zetton and use the power of love and compassion to weaken it until it vanishes.
In the final moments of the episode, Ultraman Orb decides to stay in the mysterious realm to help the Guardians repair the damage caused by Zetton's escape. Though he is away from Earth, he is still able to protect it from afar. The episode ends with Gai and Naomi staring at the frozen lake, promising to someday return to The Land of Light.
