One night, Kazamori has a dream where Seven, who should be imprisoned in the Horsehead Nebula, calls out to him. On the same night, there is a sighting of UG attempting to destroy the TDF headquarters while fighting TDF soldiers. What has happened to UG? It all began with the dissolution order issued to UG three weeks ago...
Plot
From TDF's lab, Tashiro discover that Seven is slowly awakening. At that same time, Kazamori was visited by Seven in his dream. A month after the Dark Zone incident, the radical Alien Pegassa faction and several other aliens took over TDF. The Ultra Guard member fought against them during their raid in the TDF Far East Base.
All these problems can be traced to three weeks prior when the Ultra Guard was officially disbanded by TDF after no signs of other alien invasions since the Dark Zone. The group was against this order since the upper management did not consult them beforehand, but was forced to comply. Shima and Mizuno spent their time at the playground and were contacted by Shiragane of a new job. All of the former UG members were gathered for a secret reunion when their captain revealed that aliens had took over TDF and replaced most of their members with impostors. Thanks to an informant who sacrificed his life to get the data, Shiragane discovered that the only ones who were still alive were former UG members and staff officers Inagaki and Saijou. He was able to retrieve UG's uniforms and basic weapons for their assault against their former headquarters.
Back to the present day, UG formulated their plan to destroy TDF Far East Base to prevent the aliens from taking over other TDF worldwide branch's technologies. While Rumi separated from the team to hijack the Ultra Hawk 1, Shiragane and Mizuno would steal the Omega Files and plant the bomb at the Central Block while the rest of the teammates guarded the former two. Satomi on the other hand guarded the exit route. With the bomb started its countdown in 30 minutes, Shiragane's team try to exit, only to be ambushed by an Alien Godola who placed them in a mental prison that resemble their insecurities; Shiragane in a loop over the regret to save his wife and their unborn child from an accident, Shima constantly eating his favourite Katsudon due to his insecurity in his physical strength, Mizuno in a library due to his insecurity of his knowledge and Yuki surrounded by her teammates and Inagaki over her inability to trust others.
Satomi was about to attack the Nurse-like saucer again, but Kazamori stopped her since the creature isn't hostile. Kazamori was contacted by Ultraseven to rescue Shiragane and the rest from Alien Godola's trap, with Satomi joining along despite the former's protest. Kazamori used his newfound powers to destroy the infiltrating aliens. Because of Shiragane finally making peace with his past, he was the only one to break free from the mental prison. Kazamori used his powers again to detect the source of Godola's mental prison wave and destroy the device. Shiragane chased Godola and killed the alien a gunfight to reclaim the stolen Omega Files. The rest of the team exited TDF Far East Base just in time for their headquarters' destruction.
Kazamori left the team again, but promised to assist them should he be needed. As he gazed the sky, Seven continuously releasing muons from his Beam Lamp.

Trivia
Warning: A significant amount of the trivia on this page was written with an AI machine translation. This means that it may contain misinformation caused by mistranslations, awkward and misleading wording, and/or an excessive amount of detail. For more information, see this page. The Ultraman Wiki appreciates your help in rewriting, reducing and correcting machine translated content.
In the EVOLUTION series, all episodes use katakana subtitles instead of the usual kanji or hiragana. This follows a trend in Japan, influenced by Western film and TV, where titles keep their original Japanese pronunciation rather than being translated.[3]
According to the episode brochure, "Perfect World" is not explained in the story. It refers to overlapping realms: the TDF world, Alien Godola's illusion, a world where Shoko lives, the alien-human world under the Non-Invasion Treaty, and the world confining Ultraseven (possibly a collective mind). The illusion also reflects the characters' inner states and serves as a "liminal" space between humans and Ultraseven.
The brochure treats "Perfect World" as a collective term for these realms, shaped by cause and effect, similar to karma. Though abstract and unprovable, they form an inescapable mental field.
This episode marks Alien Godola's return after 35 years, following its first appearance in episode 4 "Max, Respond!," of the original Ultraseven series.
During production, the team added details not in the script, with a focus on the symbolic use of roses. Ohara aimed to create a distinct visual style. He also introduced a "small miracle" in the final scene: a red rose petal falls onto the photo of Shiragane and his wife to enhance the cinematic effect.
The nearly five-minute continuous shot of Captain Shiragane and his wife is the longest single take in Ultraman Series.
Shoko, Shiragane's wife, is played by Michiko Shimazaki, who previously portrayed Sayaka Ijuin in Ultraman Tiga. She had retired before this production but returned for this episode.
The episode includes a flashback in which Shiragane mourns at the site of Shoko's accident, followed by another Shiragane entering the scene. Ohara stated that this shift carries no specific meaning and serves to present the story naturally.
