Ultraman
In the years following World War II, the wreckage of the once-mighty Yamato rested on the sea floor of the South Pacific. Small aquatic creatures (including barnacles and oysters) were merged with the wreck and transformed into biological tissue, gradually creating Yamaton's body. Soon it made its way to Tokunoshima and attacked the docks. Tanks and fighter jets tried to attack it but were magnetised to the monster. As Ultraman appeared, he tried to attack but being a former battleship, Yamaton's body is already durable to the hero's might, even the Spacium Beam had no effect. Soon Ultraman was magnetised. Unable to escape, his upper body was swallowed by Yamaton's mouth! In front of the crowd, Ultraman's body was gradually sucked into Yamaton and eventually whole his body was consumed. However, as Yamaton stood triumphantly, he had no idea that Ultraman had planned this all along, and the hero destroyed the monster from the inside out with a shot of his Spacium Beam.
