01x14 - Dedicate the Song of the Powerless Brave to My Father

[bunniefuu]

Yeah yeah yeah! Wow! Yeah yeah yeah! Wow!

Yeah yeah yeah! Wow! Yeah yeah yeah! Wow!

Within the dark alleys of the metropolis

Biru no tanima no kurayami ni

Spiderman!

Spiderman!

His eyes gleam with a brilliant anger

Kirari to hikaru ikari no me

Spiderman!

Spiderman!

Leaving his tranquil life behind,

Yasuragi sutete

Leaving everything he knows behind,

Subete wo sutete

He'll fly through the skies, chasing after evil

Aku wo otte, sora kakeru

Change Leopardon!

Change Leopardon!

Why do you, oh, why do you...

Kimi wa naze, Kimi wa naze

Why do you risk your life continuing to fight?

Tatakai tsuzukeru no ka, inochi wo kakete

He's devoted himself, he'll stand firm

Hitosuji ni hitosuji ni

He is the invincible man, Spiderman!

Muteki no otoko, Spiderman

Spiderman!

Spiderman!

According to Interpol's emergency communication...

an ill*gal smuggler they've been tailing is on his way to Japan.

Sources say the ship he's on is carrying coffee and other goods as cargo.

Iron Trade Organization

"The Iron Trade Organization are the ones importing the goods."

"I want you to sneak in and get your hands on a full list of their imports."

Spiderman's magnetic bracelet can open any lock with ease.

This scent... How peculiar...

Spiderman possesses a very strong sense of smell.

With it he can detect the slightest hint of the anesthetic used in human modification experiments from afar.

This barely recognizable smell is a dead giveaway

if someone is a Machine BEM or a Ninder in the Iron Cross Army.

Those guards must be Ninders in disguise.

Then this company is-!

A Song for the Father of the Hero who Can Fight No More

The slightest touch and the whole alarm system will go off.

If I can't go through it...

A safe!

Wait...

It might be linked to the alarm system.

It's in code!

We cracked the code. The ship's cargo also contains a new weapon.

A special delivery for the Iron Cross Army?

The Iron Cross Army is collaborating with agents from all over the world,

steadily growing their power and influence.

When's the ship set to dock in Japan?

We don't know yet.

But what we do know is that the Iron Cross Army mustn't get their hands on that weapon.

I'll keep an eye on the "Iron Trade Organization."

If you would.

Alright.

Amazoness, take a look at this.

This is-!

It seems your alarm system wasn't quite as foolproof as you thought, Amazoness.

My sincere apologies.

I had no idea they would track down the Iron Trade Organization.

We must dispose of him before the ship arrives or else...

We could eliminate him within a day if only we knew his real identity.

You can leave that to me.

A bat-man hybrid!

I have it in good faith that Spiderman is really Yamashiro Takuya.

That dolt?

Ah, you'll see.

I swear I'll expose his true colors!

A one-million yen prize?

A One-Million Yen Prize! What is Spiderman's Real Identity?

One-million yen for whoever finds out who Spiderman is!?

Wow, one-million yen...

Talk about moolah...

Hey, boss!

We're really giving a million yen to the winner!?

Of course.

Spiderman's a living superhero to the youth and children.

I'd easily give a million yen to know who he really is.

Alright... Might as well give it the ol' college try.

Got anyone in mind?

No... not really...

A letter from a reader.

"I think amateur racer Yamashiro Takuya is Spiderman."

No way! Takuya as Spiderman!?

Gimme a break!

The Iron Cross Army did k*ll his father.

You think that could point to him being Spiderman?

All I'm saying is keep an eye on him.

But still. There's no way Spiderman is really Takuya!

I'm being watched.

Takuya's Spidey-Sense alerted him that a mysterious presence was watching him.

A bat!?

Yo! Back at it again?

Don't scare me like that!

Woops, sorry!

Anyway, I'm busy.

Here he is!

How'd I do, Takuji?

Not good. You're seconds behind.

Oh well...

Race like that and you won't even pass the prelims!

That's enough for today.

How about you take me on a date?

Ready to kiss and make up?

-Easy there, bucko. -Ouch!

-Stop! -Stop! Hey!

Who are you guys!?

So you're a pro racer, huh? We challenge you to a race!

Shut up!

He told us to shut up!

Those eyes... modified humans have them. Then are these guys all...!?

-Takuya! -Get off her!

So they are modified!

They want me to turn into Spiderman!

Hey!

Just you wait...!

Thank you so much!

No problem. Are you hurt?

Thank goodness. See ya.

Umm...

Well...

That same smell...

You let me down, Takuya. I thought you were a little stronger than that!

Oh, hush.

Are you okay, Hitomi?

I'll let it slide if you take me on that date...

No can do. I have to repair my bike now.

Could he really be Spiderman?

Just a dream...

There was a bat on the race course as well...

It's still in the branches...

Man is it hot tonight!

This bat can be used for surveillance.

I'm being watched.

Oh, good morning, Takuya!

-Morning! -Yeah, morning!

So... what are you all doing up this early?

Hey, I thought we could all go for a drive later.

I call shotgun!

Nah. Could you imagine if we all got in an accident?

I bet he just wants to stay inside all day!

How boring!

Then how about the amusement park?

-The amusement park? -Yeah!

The newspaper man gave me free tickets.

Wow! Come on, Takuya, let's go!

No getting out of this one...

Hold on tight!

I'm holding it!

Hey, bro!

-Takuya! -Look, Takuya!

Hop on.

Easy there...

Help!

Get out!

We ain't goin' nowhere!

A modified human!

Somebody stop this thing!

Takuya!

-It's not slowing down! -Stop it!

What are you doing!?

What!?

Help!

-Loser! -Goody Two-Shoes!

You punk!

Thank you so much.

Sorry for the trouble...

You let me down, Takuya.

We can't depend on you at all.

The ship will make landfall tomorrow.

And you still haven't learned his identity yet?

We're getting close...

I doubt that man is Spiderman but...

We have prepared one final test.

We'll finally expose who he really is!

You had better.

Hey, Shinko!

Where are you going?

Don't worry about us. We'll call for Spiderman if we need any help.

-Right, Takuji? -Right!

Let's go.

Hey, Takuji, wanna mess with the walkie-talkies?

I bet they'll be a lot more fun than clothes shopping.

Dad...

Takuya...

...the power of Spiderman has been bestowed upon you.

Spiderman!

Take these years of regret...

Free me from it!

I'm counting on you...

...brother.

This is my mission.

My mission to destroy the Iron Cross Army... for Dad and for Garia.

Think this will look cute on me?

Yeah, it's totally your style!

If you like, we have changing rooms.

-Let's see! -Alright.

We have more over here too.

How long has she...?

Shinko? Shinko?

Takuya!

Takuya! Something's happened to Shinko and Takuji!

What's wrong?

They'll die if you don't save them in an hour!

What!?

They're at Warehouse # !

Warehouse # ?

It was on this mask!

Come to Warehouse # or their lives will be forfeit! You have one hour!!

Takuya!

They challenged me directly to come to Warehouse # ...

They're trying to force me to transform into Spiderman. Well, bring it on.

They're watching me.

Where... Where can I even transform?

Initiate testing!

Amazing.

It will make short work of Spiderman.

Yamashiro Takuya's here!

Yamashiro Takuya? Not Spiderman?

He couldn't become Spiderman while they were watching him.

Takuya chose to rush to Warehouse # and leave the rest to fate.

Shinko... Takuji... Where are you?

That's it! In the ocean!

This chance was sent to him by his dad or Garia.

I guess he wasn't Spiderman after all.

Spiderman's here!

Hurry! Get out of here!

Help!

Help me!

Go! Hurry!

-Thanks, Spiderman. -Thank you.

Spiderman!

The Man Bent on Revenge, Spiderman!

Spider Net!

Spider Strings!

I am a Machine BEM, Big Bat!

Marveller!

Marveller! Change Leopardon!

Arc Turn!

Leopardon! Sword Vigor!

He's alive!

Takuya!

Bro!

Takuya!

So he wasn't Spiderman after all...

People might think he's an idiot or a clueless bumbler,

but he must avoid having his identity revealed at all costs.

Takuya's lonely fight will continue until the day he defeats the Iron Cross Army arrives.

To be continued...

Yami fukaku hibiku

The sound of hell's footsteps

Jigoku no ashi oto

Echo in the darkness

Boyou no shita nemuru chichi yo

Dad sleeps below his gravestone

Mune ni himeta hijou no sadame

I lock away my cruel fate within my chest

Saraba tomo yo, chikai no tomo yo

Farewell, my friends, my dear friends

Ore wa tada hitori, ore wa tada hitori

I am all alone, oh, I am all alone

Kouya wo hashiru

Running across the wasteland
