HistoryUltraman CosmosRagstone
The monster would increase their physical and mental abilities using its hypnotic powers while also causing them to become addicted to its influence and their emotions to degrade. Once EYES discovered this strange cult, Shinobu went to investigate, only for Ragstone Core to turn her as well. After EYES quarantined Ragstone Core from its followers, Ragstone grew to its true form, which also revealed a spaceship. This spaceship then fired an energy beam into Ragston, amplifying its powers and absorbing emotions from it. Musashi transformed into Ultraman Cosmos, then to Corona Mode, and began to battle Ragstone. The fight between Cosmos and Ragstone seemed to be even, with the alien creature even shrugging off the Naybuster Beam without even a scratch. Realizing Ragstone's power came from human's emotion "rage," Cosmos went back into Luna Mode to use the Full Moon Rect as a counterforce of "love," restoring everyone's emotions. Defeated, Ragstone began to crumble to pieces, which were drawn up into the mysterious spaceship before it fled into space. The Magic Stone
Trivia- Suit actor: Hiroshi Nagatomo.
- Ragstone's roar is reused from the Ultraman Tiga Kaiju, Golza.
- Director Hideyuki Kawakami stated that the episode depicts the real-life issues of drug abuse in a more accessible way for children. Instead of Ragstone's victims becoming aggressive, as with drug withdrawal symptoms, it was written that they merely collapsed.

- Weaknesses: While negative emotions empower Ragstone, positive ones weaken it and cause its body to break apart. Its hypnosis' effectiveness still varies on an individual level.
- Hypnotic Ray: Ragstone retains its ability to hypnotize and enhance its victims in its true form. Alien Nowar can enhance its power further, allowing Ragstone to affect multiple people.
- Emotion Absorption: Ragstone can still feed on the emotions of victims, and with Alien Nowar's assistance, it can do this in mass.
- Negative Emotion Empowerment: The negative emotions Ragstone absorbs, such as rage and greed, increase its strength. After absorbing emotions from multiple humans, Ragstone can send the like of Ultraman Cosmos flying hundreds of yards.
- Armor: Ragstone has thick armored skin that allows him to withstand attacks like Ultraman Cosmos' Naybuster Beam without visible damage.
