As it is about to ram Musashi’s TECCH Spinnar KS-1, Ultraman Cosmos appeared and saved him. As they dueled, Musashi founded that the monster is responsible for turning the Planet Juran into a barren wasteland via it’s energy beam. Cosmos destroyed the monster, causing a giant explosion and quickly rescuing Musashi from the explosion.
Musashi attended his childhood friend’s wedding and later witnessed a mermaid. One of his friends, Tutomo, mocks him for believing in a mermaid but Mari objects it, implied that Musashi might be speaking the truth ever since his first encounter with Cosmos.
As it starts to rain, Tutomo cowardly hides under the table with Mari mocking him, causing Tutomo to take a nearby soda and spray it on Mari, starting a soda fight with his friend as they are watched again by the mermaid.
Great that you have the alternate version of this movie. Great how despite Sugiura Taiyo (Musashi’s actor) got arrested for some time, they quickly re-edited the movie to make it like this. They somehow managed to also make this reasonable continuity-wise with Shau coming to the past to help Young Musashi after the events of the original version of this movie
