Ultra Q

The Mammoth Flower (1x4)

Air date: Jan 23, 1966

Enormous thorny tendrils break through streets of Tokyo's business district, while others break through subbasements to feed off of those caught in their grasp. The plant pushes up into the offices of the Mainichi Shimpo News and eventually through the roof, where its poisonous flower blooms. Professor Ichinotani hypothesizes this primordial plant, Juran, has revived due to manmade changes to the environment, but argues with Professor Genda; Ichinotani wants to destroy the Monster, while his colleague wants to study it.
