(for your viewing pleasure)
Ultraman and Jamila do battle in front of the World Peace Conference and it's a fairly decent battle, both opponents are skilled fighters. It wasn't till the end of the episode when Ultraman was able to weaken Jamila enough that he could use his ultimate weapon, the Ultra-Shower (yes, I laughed uncontrollably for 5 minutes after reading that subtitle.). Anyways, Jamila falls to the ground but unlike other monsters that Ultraman fights, the team chooses not to obliterate her but give her a proper funeral and a plaque. A real honor to her memory (happy now, yeesh!).
Jamilla is one strange looking figure,
but it captures everything the monster was in the show. Its a giant
white monster that's body looks like the bottom of a fat person's
cracked callused foot, no neck and low shoulders. Deep sunken
eyeballs hiding in the sockets stare out at you glazed over without
the hint of a pupil. When it comes to paint, sculpt and scale, Bandai
doesn't disappoint. Honestly, Jamilla was the only Ultraman monster
that scared me as a child. I'm not sure why, maybe it's because it
looks like a circus sideshow freak and that if it had a voice it
would probably sound like Billy Bob Thornton from Sling Blade.
