01x28 - The Station Neighborhood Youth Detective Club

[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!

Hey, Akira! Why can't we be part of your detective club!?

'Cause you girls don't have the same badges we do!

Then give us some!

I mean, we could...

But you should get some self-confidence first.

"Self-confidence"?

Confident in whether you're a girl or a guy!

What's that supposed to mean!?

You're so rowdy that we can't tell either way!

How dare you!

Retreat!

You really got smacked by a girl, man!

Hey! We'll find your secret base! Just watch!

Got that!?

The Youth Detective Squad Down the Lane from the Station

This way!

Okay!

It's gotta be around here somewhere.

Yeah, but this place is creepy!

Suck it up.

So that's where they are.

No! Let go! Hey! Stop!

Hey, did you hear something?

Didn't hear anything.

I thought I heard Nobuko. Go check.

Fine.

Stop! Somebody help us! Please!

This is bad! Nobuko and her pals are being kidnapped!

What!?

Ow! Ow! That hurts! Stop it! No!

You saw the Iron Cross Army's secret base...

As punishment, you'll stay here until our plan succeeds.

The next day passed, and Nobuko and her friends hadn't come back.

I heard your little girl Kazuko has also been missing since last night, Yamamoto.

She never came back.

This situation is above our station; someone call the police.

Oh?

You came at just the right time!

This is about the missing children, I take it?

Yes, thank you.

No need to worry. They're currently in police custody.

Oh, really?

What a relief, thank you.

It's the Iron Cross Army!

Capture those kids!

Run!

The Iron Cross Army is now holding onto your kids.

But there's no need to worry.

Whatever strange things you see happen over the next day...

...keep your mouths shut and your children will be returned unharmed.

Understand?

Run your mouths, and the children die!

The next day...

It's so great having a slice of old Tokyo by the big city.

Don't you think so, Takuya?

Yep, yep. Love it.

Anyway, this was the last stop, right?

We're not done yet.

Let's get a move on!

There's more?

Yep!

Stupid Iron Cross Army. Where do you think they took the girls?

I would've just let them into the club if I knew this was gonna happen.

Yeah.

What a funky gravestone.

I bet it'll be famous one day.

Better get a shot now...

They're taking pictures of the gravestones?

Suspicious.

You think maybe...?

I think so.

-Aww, dang. -Aww, dang.

Spaghetti and coffee for two.

I get a bad vibe about this place.

Let's get out of here.

I don't want to go somewhere else.

I've been riding around all day. Makes a man tired and hungry.

So not cool.

There's the bike from earlier!

It is it!

They're at Nobuko's place!

I bet they came to keep an eye on them. Let's go!

Hey, Iron Cross Army g*ons!

Where'd ya take the girls!?

Oh, Akira, don't be silly.

Nobuko and them are perfectly fine.

But these guys...

Gimme your hand!

Wuh? It's not iron.

Alright, alright, enough. I think that's enough out of you.

An earthquake!

We'll be fine. We'll be fine.

It's over. Now get outta here, kids. Go on.

What the heck? What's going on with this cafe!?

N-Nothing!

Did something happen?

But our forks flew onto the clock!

The forks simply fell onto the floor! Is there something wrong with that?

Ah, now I get it. You're trying to make false accusations against me.

Fine then. I won't require payment for your meal. Just leave, okay?

It would be bad if rumors starting flying about my cafe. Now leave. Leave! Go!

Well that cafe was certainly something. Let's go, Takuya.

Yeah.

That's weird.

What's wrong?

Hm... Is it broken?

Ugh... falling apart right when you need it most. How fitting for you.

Hey!

I promised Shinko I'd see her, so I'm leaving.

Hey, wait!

Hitomi! Hold on a second!

Cafe Mocha

Ow!

Who did that!?

Guy's a total loser!

No way this guy's part of the Iron Cross Army.

No way!

That's incredible!

Take me there next time!

Oh, please. I don't want to see that useless boyfriend of mine for a while either.

Spiderman was concerned after hearing the kids mention the Iron Cross Army.

So he began to investigate the strange happenings in the neighborhood.

Oh, dear, I'm not sure how much longer I can take of this.

My granddaughter Nobuko being taken by those devils...

And now there's earthquakes every day!

Mr. Hirano, what's going on in this neighborhood?

I'd like to help if I can.

Nothing's happened in this neighborhood.

Could you at least tell me about the Iron Cross Army?

I don't know anything. I've never heard of the Iron Cross Army.

Just... leave, please?

Okay?

Niwa Tofu Shop

Honey!

Let's go and notify the police!

You know if we do that Kazuko will be k*lled!

But I can't just sit here and wait while she's-!

We have to put up with it. That's all we can do.

-It'll be okay. -Kazuko!

Another earthquake!

Spiderman concluded children around the neighborhood were kidnapped by the Iron Cross Army.

But why?

There's no use thinking about it here.

Let's think it over again in the cave.

Okay.

My Spidey-Sense has snared something!

Spider Strings!

You're Spiderman!

That's right.

We're a junior detective club, and we want to help!

Alright. I could use some help.

Do you kids mind telling me what's going on in this neighborhood?

Not at all!

We saw Nobuko and her friends being taken by some guys that looked like miners.

But they were actually the Iron Cross Army!

They've threatened all of the adults into silence.

We were the only ones still fighting against them.

-Right? -Yeah!

I see...

Boys, could you do me a favor and gather the adults together?

-Okay! -Okay!

The children were in danger.

But Spiderman would have to be careful if he hoped to rescue them.

It'll be finished... once we install this Mantle Apparatus into Magne Catfish.

Running underneath this train station...

...is a large fault line.

Using the power of Magne Catfish...

...we'll be able to create a massive earthquake.

The entire area will fall into chaos.

Amazoness...

Yes, sir?

It seems Spiderman is on our tail once again.

You are not allowed back here until you've eliminated the pest...

...before the townspeople get too alarmed.

-I'll go to Nobuko's place! -I'll go to Kazuko's!

You gotta hurry, man! Hurry up!

Niwa Tofu Shop

Hold on!

Everyone's here, Spiderman!

Everyone, the Iron Cross Army has no intention of letting your children go.

Oh no!

Please don't try to scare us!

I'm not trying to scare you! But the Iron Cross Army never lets their prisoners go free.

Spiderman, dont'cha think there's things that even you shouldn't say?

Please, listen!

Huh?

The Iron Cross Army aren't human.

Well, when put like that, maybe Spiderman has a point...

Ah, but when I think of the what could happen if his plan fails, I have to say I'm against it.

No, I think him helping us is best.

But we're dealing with kids' lives here!

We have to think long and hard about this.

Quiet!

Let Spiderman handle it!

Let's just go with that, Mr. Yamamoto.

The adults were frantic and desperate to make a decision.

Spiderman understood these feelings quite well.

Leave this to me. I'll rescue them all.

Spiderman set out on his investigation, starting in the woodland area where the children played.

This cave is like a maze.

The hard part will be getting the kids out of here.

No Flammables Ammunition Storage

-Let us go! -Let us out!

What are you going to do with us?

I'll tell you what we're going to do.

We're going to make an earthquake.

This secret base will be destroyed, and you along with it!

But don't worry, as you die like rats down here...

Your parents will also be dying on the surface!

You're cruel! Evil! Spare us!

Please! Let us go!

This place was right below the neighborhood's station, and was to be the center of the quake.

What's going on! Come with me, Magne Catfish!

Hurry!

Spiderman! You came to save us!

This was no accident.

Then he must be here...

Only Spiderman could've done this!

Go! Now!

Damn you, Spiderman.

Find him, Magne Catfish!

Destroy all of the children too!

The passage is blocked! We'll go this way!

Hurry!

Come on.

What's wrong, Magne Catfish!?

Get going!

Wait. Hide in there!

Stay right here.

This is the boys' secret base!

They got away...

This base is worthless to us now, Magne Catfish.

Let's regroup at the plant.

Okay, they're gone!

Your parents are waiting for you at home. Go straight there.

Thank you so much, Spiderman!

Spider Machine, GP- !

Spider Strings!

The Man who Protects the Precious Bonds Between Parent and Child, Spiderman!

Get him, Magne Catfish!

I am a Machine BEM, Magne Catfish!

Here I come!

Marveller!

Marveller! Fire the cannons!

Marveller! Change Leopardon!

Leopardon! Sword Vigor!

Friend to all Children, Spiderman!

Hero to all, Spiderman!

Let's head to the base!

For the sake of the cheerful, carefree children,

Spiderman's fiery desire to destroy the evil Iron Cross Army was renewed once more.
