Ultraman Orb the Movie: I'm Borrowing the Power of Your Bonds! (劇場版 ウルトラマンオーブ 絆の力、おかりします！, Gekijōban Urutoraman Ōbu Kizuna no chikara, okarishimasu!, also called "Ultraman Orb The Movie") is an upcoming Japanese film, serving as the film adaptation of the 2016 Ultra Series television series Ultraman Orb. It will be released in March 11, 2017, in celebration to the 50th anniversary of Ultra Seven where the titular character himself and his son Ultraman Zero is set to appear.[1]
Story
One day, a strange object appeared at the SSP's office, which is revealed to be the X Devizer, the transformation item which inhabited by Ultraman X. Having separated from his host, the Xio personnel Daichi Ozora due to an enemy attack, X sought the help of SSP and a Gai (who returned from his wandering activities) in search for his human host but this however brings the threat of a new enemy.
The main villain approached herself as the space witch Murunau with the possession of the Dark Ring that empowers her own strength. With the desire to transform whatever pretty thing she fancies into her personal jewelry collection, she had already captured the Ultra Warriors Ginga and Victory and set her sight on Earth as the main target. Worse enough is the return of Jugglus Juggler who continued his scheming ways from behind the scenes again. With the help of Murunau's alien army, X had finally been captured and added to her jewellery collection.
Now Orb must rescue the new generation Ultra Warriors and master the power of bonds as the battle for Earth has begun.[1]
