Three years ago, Nomura, a member of an Antarctic expedition, has
disappeared together with his dog Sabu, searching for something called
Peguila. Now the Antarctic outpost he hailed from is experiencing weird
phenomena, like extreme cold and the sudden weightlessness of certain
things. In one such cold spell, the outpost's doctor Yoko (Nami Taumura)
suddenly takes a car to drive across the ice - and lo and behold, she
finds Nomura (who is now revealed to be her fiancé), frozen in thick ice,
and next to him Sabu, still very much alive, guarding his icey tomb. But
then she and the search party after her run into a giant winged and
saber-toothed monster, Peguila, and Peguila's ice cold breath almost
freezes them to death, and also the monster's breath somehow creates a
semi-gravitational phenomenon, which means it can make things levitate and
fly through the air. But Sabu protects our heroes against Peguila, despite
the monster being a thousand times his size. Yoko soon finds out that Sabu
has lived from some moss the three years out in the snow, a moss Peguila
apparently doesn't like. And good thing she finds out, too, as Peguila
already approaches the outpost for an attack, and all that can save out
heroes now is a missile filled with the essence of the moss, targeted at
the monster ... As long as you don't think about this episode
too much, it's good fun, after all, it has a giant monster breathing ice
going on a rampage, with the scenes of destruction mostly on the
convincing side. That said, narratively there are many leaps of reason,
even if you can accept giant monsters breathing ice - but quite frankly,
one shouldn't watch a series like Ultra Q for their
narrative logic to begin with and rather just enjoy its fun factor.
