A stand-alone rental of the film is also available for $4.99.

“At the end of the Trigger series, we bade a tearful farewell to Kengo Manaka, the incarnation of light, and his allies in GUTS-Select,” reads a brief synopsis provided by Tsuburaya Productions. “As Ultraman Trigger, Kengo seemed to sacrifice himself to contain the Eternity Core. The story seemed over… but not quite!”
“What brings Kengo back,” the synopsis continues, “and why Ultraman Z is once again fighting the forces of evil alongside Trigger?”
