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!

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!

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

Hitosuji ni hitosuji ni

He is the invincible man, Spiderman!

Muteki no otoko, Spiderman

{\pos( , )\fnEurostile LT Std Condensed\fs }The Secret Treasure, the Dog, and the Human Clone

Science...

Math...

And language! Alright, I'm on my way!

Jon! Jon!

There, Jon, good boy.

Nobuyuki! You better hurry up and eat or you'll be late to school!

I'm coming, sheesh!

Looks great!

Hey! Don't wolf it all down!

Gimme a break, Grandpa!

Make sure to look both ways.

I will.

I'm off!

See ya later, Grandpa!

I wasn't able to be much of a father for you, Kazuko.

But at least I can raise Nobuyuki into a fine young man.

Every morning now is like a whirlwind!

(Private) Nakayama Taxi

Hello, Phantom Thief .

Pretending to be an ordinary taxi driver, I take it?

Whatever do you mean?

Don't play dumb. I know exactly who you are.

Who are you!?

That does not matter.

What matters is you have something I want.

I do?

What could you want from a poor old man?

What did you do with The Star of Egypt?

What!?

Don't tell me you don't have it.

Who the heck are you!?

Do anything stupid and I'll k*ll you.

What a cute crab.

I think I'll make another k*ller Machine BEM from it.

Where did you hide it!?

I don't know anything about it!

Stubborn old coot!

I can't breathe! Let me go, please!

Tell me where it is!

Ow... ooh...

What a vicious little creature you are.

You don't know who you're dealing with!

We know for a fact that you were the one who stole the Star of Egypt five years ago!

Nakayama...

You left the Japanese police dumbfounded over who could be Phantom Thief .

You played the charade for so long.

However! You cannot hide your secret identity from us, the Iron Cross Army!

Now you get it.

You understand now the network and scale we have.

Even the police are no match for us.

We will spare your life... if you give in and tell us where you stashed it!

G-Give me some time to think!

Very well. However!

We will only give you one hour.

Takuya! Takuya!

Takuya!

Morning!

Oh, you wanted to check it out again?

Yeah!

It gets cooler every time I see it!

Wanna hop on the back and take it for a spin?

I can ride it!?

Yep!

Damn it...

Set up the defensive barrier! Don't just let him get away!

Nakayama!

That treasure belongs to me and Nobuyuki. You'll never get your grubby hands on it!

Treasure? Even though you stole it? Don't make me laugh!

Tell me. Where did you hide it!?

If you want it, then try to find it yourself.

What!?

I won't give it to anyone.

That was the last grand heist I ever performed.

I only did such things...

So that my grandson would be taken care of...

now that there's no-one left to take care of him.

Kid!

Where did you hide the Star of Egypt!?

I know he told you!

I've never heard of that!

Stop!

You brat...

So you won't tell us!?

I'm telling you I don't know!

Spiderman...! Someday you'll pay!

Spiderman!

You okay?

You aren't hurt, are you?

Nope, I'm okay!

But what made you decide to show up?

I'm a big fan, Spiderman!

The Star of Egypt?

I've heard of it before.

I believe it's some type of diamond.

I can't believe Grandpa would have anything to do with that diamond.

Did they mention to you something about him?

Not really...

Do you think something's happened to him?

Spiderman had a hunch the Iron Cross Army had captured Nakayama.

You're left alone quite often, huh?

Yeah.

Has he always been an independent taxi driver?

I'm not sure...

I only first met Grandpa five years ago...

The White Lily School for Orphaned Children

My mom died from an illness...

So I lived in an orphanage for a while.

My grandpa came and took me out of there.

I see...

The Iron Cross Army would come after the boy a second time.

Takuya contacted the Interpol Secret Intelligence Bureau,

and asked them to begin a search for Nakayama, as well as to look further into the Star of Egypt.

Takuya himself began to watch over Nobuyuki from the hilltop.

Nakayama Taxi Garage

"Nobuyuki, no matter what happens you must not give in."

"Your friend, Spiderman."

Huff!

Going for a day trip?

Yep.

Takuya too?

I'm going to see him.

Huh?

Some type of training he says. Wants me to bring him a sleeping bag and food.

Why couldn't he come and get it himself? All I got was a phone call!

He's so selfish, I swear!

So Phantom Thief disappeared around the same time the Star of Egypt did...

Five years ago...

Ancient History The Secret Treasures of Egypt

The Star of Egypt

It took nature thousands of years to form this gem...

The Star of Egypt.

Professor Monster, I believe that at some point Nakayama told his grandson about it.

We've already gotten hold of that kid Nobuyuki once...

But now Spiderman will be-!

Predictable. He has to be somewhere where he can keep an eye on the kid.

But don't worry.

Well? What do you think of the exact duplicate I made of Nakayama?

It's brilliant.

Then let's put it to good use and tempt his grandson out of hiding.

Hello?

Oh! Grandpa!?

My Spidey-Sense has snared something! Nobuyuki's in danger!

I have an idea!

Jon!

I need you to do something for me, Jon.

Jon!

Jon!

Spiderman, I'm going to meet Grandpa at Aramine Shore.

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Nobuyuki!

-Grandpa! -Nobuyuki!

Grandpa!

Grandpa, I was so worried!

Nobuyuki, forgive me for leaving for so long without saying something.

You see, I was fearing for my life.

It's fine! You're alright now and that's what counts!

Thank you, Nobuyuki.

By the way, did you take good care of that precious treasure I gave you?

Precious treasure?

That's right. The precious treasure.

You remember it, right?

You gave me treasure?

Yes. Yes, that's right...

A very precious treasure.

Oh, now I remember! You gave me something last year for my birthday.

Congrats!

Here, Nobuyuki, I got you a present.

For me!?

Make sure to take good care of it, even after I die, okay?

In here is a map that leads to a very special treasure.

That's it. And what did you do with that charm bag?

I always keep it on me, just like you told me to do.

Grandpa?

Grandpa? Grandpa!

What did you do with my real Grandpa!?

He fell off this very cliff to his demise.

Screw you!

How dare you threaten an innocent boy, Iron Cross Army!

You'll pay!

Friend to all Children, Spiderman!

sh**t him!

Spider Strings!

Spider Strings!

The charm bag!

Damn it... Crabima! Don't hold back!

I am a Machine BEM, Crabima!

Marveller!

Marveller! Change Leopardon!

Leopardon! Sword Vigor!

Nobody alive knows where the Star of Egypt is.

Grandpa, why were you k*lled by the Iron Cross Army!?

Spiderman did not have the heart to tell the innocent boy the truth...

The Iron Cross Army mistook your grandpa for the real owner of the diamond.

So... you mean he had nothing to do with any of this?

That's right.

The charm bag was given to you as a source of good luck.

Your grandpa was a taxi driver since before you were born.

He was an honest, hard-working man.

Really?

Yes.

He was a wonderful man.

When you grow up, be just like him.

Alright!

Nobuyuki, in my heart I'll be cheering for you.

You can do it.
