Professor Yoshinaga guest panelled on a TV talk show on the topic of “Why Do Monsters Keep Appearing". Kaito and Mizuki spent their vacation at the cafe to watch the live recording.
The broadcast was shown at the big screen in Shibuya. Then, the monster Gernonga suddenly appeared. The screen showed a monster with a broken tusk.
As Kaito and Mizuki scrambled, the owner of the cafe smiled and said that he was the one who broke the tusk.
DASH intercepted Geronga at Yoyogi Park, and wanted to fix the monster at the point. The studio broadcasted the live feed of DASH’s showdown with the creature.
The SF novelist Sabashi, remembered the days when he was a young actor. He encountered the creature Geronga during a shooting session while on location at Shibuya.

In Episode 29 - Why Monsters Keep Appearing, guest stars another two veteran actors from the TPC stable, Kenji Sahara and Yasuhiko Saijo.
[Together with] Hiroko Sakurai, thyey were the three main characters in ULTRA Q, and this is also a tribute to them; they have been on screen together before in the recent past, 1994’s ULTRA SEVEN: OPERATION SOLAR ENERGY. – August Ragone, Editor-in-Chief of Henshin! Online
(Kenji Sahara’s)experience with kaiju eiga dates right back to a (very small) cameo in the original GODZILLA (1954), and a leading role in Toho’s RODAN (1956). He’s other appearances include THE MYSTERIANS (1957), THE H-MAN (1958), KING KONG VS. GODZILLA (1962), MATANGO (1963), ULTRA Q (1965), WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS (1966), ULTRA SEVEN (1967), SPACE AMOEBA (1970), ULTRAMAN 80 (1980), GODZILLA VS. MECHAGODZILLA (1993), GODZILLA FINAL WARS (2004) and ULTRAMAN NEXUS (2004). – James Ballard, Tokyo Monsters
There is another trivia for episode 29. In this episode, there is a guest commentator Kosei Ueda (played by Shoichiro Akaboshi) in the TV talk show. Yet in Ultraman Tiga episode 5, a “monster calamity analyst” with the same name appeared. This is no coincidence, because both episodes were written by Chiaki Konaka. – Garren
