One day, a young man and a member of Science Patrol named "Shin Hayata" was patroling the outer space. In that time too, Ultraman was on his way to earth. On his way to earth, Ultraman's travel sphere was accidentally crashed with Hayata's Jet. Hayata was dead inside Ultraman's travel sphere.

Ultraman dies when he fight an evil alien called "Zetton" in episode 39 (final episode). When Zetton come to earth and landed in Science Patrol base, people around it was panic. Then Zetton start destroying buildings. Hayata rise the Beta Capsule and become Ultraman. When Zetton didn't know that Ultraman is there, Ultraman quickly lock his movement with his ability called "Catch Ring". Unfortunatelly, his "Catch Ring" didn't work with Zetton. Then Zetton quickly fire an energy beam from his eye. Ultraman falls, he ready to do a close combat with Zetton. Ultraman was nearly shooted by Zetton's fireball. Ultraman countered by throwing Zetton a "Ultra-Slash" (one of his abilities). Zetton blocked it with it's shield. When Ultraman start attacking Zetton, Zetton quickly choke Ultraman until his color timer (an energy indicator lamp located on his chest) flashing red, meaning that he is almost dying. Then Ultraman finally free from Zetton, he quickly fires the specium beam (a + shaped beam). But Zetton succesfully absorb it and fires it back right at Ultraman's color timer. Ultraman groans in pain. He calmly stands and Zetton fires the beam once again right on Ultraman's color timer. Then Ultraman's eyes turns black (originally was white) and his color timer stop flashing. Ultraman is almost dead. Zetton wins. Knowing this, the Science Patrol quickly shoot Zetton with a destructive bullet. Zetton is dead and destroyed.
