The ending is a representation of the Japans reliance on the United States for their defense. The Red Devil monster is China or maybe North Korea. It is the only "real threat" to Japan (Big Man), and while they see themselves as heroic, they can not stand up the the "Red Devil" alone. Notice that the "Justice" family is all dressed in Red, White, and Blue... They stand for America's involvement in overseas afairs. There is also an American flag waving inside of the court yard of one of the little fake buildings during the sequence, (perhaps an American Embassy). The CGI portions represents Japan's idealistic fantasy while the rubber suit portions represent Japan's stark reality.
The credit roll where the Justice family is all sitting around the table arguing shows how Americans are more concerned about their image and than the actual outcome of any confrontation. Big Man just sits there, uninterested for the most part because Japan could care less about how America handles its affairs as long as they are protected.
- but why did it suddenly shift into bad effects as per their lame Ultraman shows?dopepope

- I don't buy it. I think it had more to do with the main character talking about the new generation had no respect.DrBombay
- That could be true too I guess. Some people say Big Man was killed by the Red Devil and the rubber suit part was his afterlife.full_bleed
