In Ultraman Tiga: Series season 1 episode 2 titled "Legend Of The Stone", we see the return of the Giant of Light as the Earth is under attack by a strange alien monster. The episode begins with Daigo Madoka investigating an archaeological site where the ancient legend of a mystical stone is believed to be true. Daigo uncovers a tablet with a prophecy that says an evil monster will awaken from its sleep after the stone is removed.
Meanwhile, an alien spaceship drops a monster egg that hatches into a stone-like creature that starts attacking the city. The monster, named Golza, is immune to the attacks of the Earth Defense Force and their weaponry. Daigo transforms himself into Ultraman Tiga to fight the monster, but the battle seems almost impossible to win as Golza proves to be a formidable foe.
Daigo soon discovers that the stone from the archaeological site is Golza's weakness. He manages to communicate this to his team, and they race to acquire the stone. However, the stone's guardian, a giant humanoid named Imola, appears to stop them and protect the prophecy.
The Earth Defense Force battles Imola to gain access to the stone, and Daigo transforms into Ultraman Tiga to fight Imola. The two combatants seem evenly matched as they exchange blows, but Daigo manages to gain the upper hand and finally defeats Imola. He quickly retrieves the mystical stone and returns to the battle with Golza.
As expected, Golza proves invulnerable to the roar of Ultraman Tiga, but Daigo takes advantage of an opening and uses the stone to defeat it. Golza explodes into thousands of pieces, and all that remains is the stone-like creature it was before.
Daigo and his team realize that they have a great responsibility as the guardians of Earth. They also learn that the ancient tablet was not a prophecy, but a warning from the past. The episode ends with Daigo pondering over his role as Ultraman Tiga and the challenges ahead.
Overall, "Legend Of The Stone" is an exciting episode filled with action, suspense, and drama. The storyline is engaging, and the writing is well-done, making it easy for viewers to follow the plot. The special effects are excellent, and the fighting sequences are intense and thrilling.
