Shortly after being sent into space on an expedition, Itsuki Hayata's spaceship was destroyed, killing everyone onboard. Investigation of this incident revealed that a spaceborne kaiju may have been responsible.
After crashing into a mysterious floating orb, Shin Hayata was killed and his aircraft crashed into a nearby lake. Ultraman, the being within the floating orb, felt remorse for having caused the death of an innocent human and fused himself with Hayata to save his life. The rescue team found Hayata alive with no injuries or visible wounds.
Two Category Saigai kaiju; Tyrant and Eon converged on Osaka to engage one another. GDF Commander Church authorized the first recorded use of the entity known as Ultraman. Ultraman alongside Zilla combated the two kaiju before the arrival of Godzilla, and shortly after an unidentified entity put in end to the fight in an anomalous way.
Upon discovering Zilla, along with Tyrant and Eon achieved a delicate balance cohabitating on an Island. Commander Church authorized the construction of a research base to passively study the resident kaiju, and in addition, officially declared the purpose for KRS Monstrum "Titan Team". To study and discover a method to coexist with kaiju.
