01x26 - The Fake Hero in a Treacherous Predicament

[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!

Watch where you're going!

Hold on a second! You're the one who bumped into me!

The Fake Hero in Big Trouble

...scissors, sh**t!

Told ya I'd win! Who's next?

Good morning!

-Mornin'! -Good morning!

-No kiddin'! -They really did that? Dang!

What's wrong?

Something's got you down today.

I can't stand it. Any of this.

Did something happen?

No, nothing.

I just feel like crap.

I've worked so hard to graduate from Teijisei High School and for what?

But if you give up now you'll only spiral further!

I want to be stronger.

I'm sick of this meaningless school life I've had!

Jun! You have a phone call!

Hello? Miyaguchi here.

Listen closely to what I'm about to tell you.

Come to the Central Building in Shinjuku tonight, AM sharp.

There you will find an opportunity to change your future.

My future?

That's right. Tonight you will say goodbye to the doldrums of your former life.

Who even are you?

Trust me, okay?

I'll show you miracles do happen.

See you at one.

There you will find an opportunity to change your future.

Tonight you will say goodbye to the doldrums of your former life.

Trust me, okay?

I'll show you miracles do happen.

It's just like they said on the phone!

They must've been after the jewelry store inside.

But who on Earth could've k*lled all of them?

Who're you?

Um...

It's the Iron Cross Army!

The victims... they're all part of the Iron Cross Army!

You're exactly right. They all belong to that group.

Hey! Can't we get any closer!?

Come on!

Hey! Let us through!

You're the one who took them down, aren't you?

No... I just...

Be honest with us! You're Spiderman, aren't you?

What's your age? Job? Home address?

Please tell us!

Come on! We don't have all night!

A woman told us everything!

She said Spiderman was fighting some jewel thieves!

That boy's Spiderman!

-Spiderman!? -Spiderman!!

Stay back!

Clear out! Make way!

Stop! Just one question!

We'll put out a press release later!

Amazoness!

Tell me, what are you planning to do with this Miyaguchi Junichi kid?

Just watch.

By morning, he'll be known nationwide as Spiderman the hero.

This is all according to my plan, you see.

People will fawn over him as if he were a real hero no matter how much he says otherwise.

Holy cow do I have news for you!

It's the scoop of the century!

-What on Earth happened? -Something huge! Massive!

...I need a drink of water.

I'll call Takuya over too.

What's got you like this?

Are you okay?

Deep breath...

Listen... now don't pass out or anything...

But they finally uncovered Spiderman's real identity.

What?

Spiderman's real identity!?

It's a high schooler at Teijisei High, Miyaguchi Junichi.

He beat up a whole squadron of Iron Cross g*ons yesterday!

Miyaguchi Junichi?

Ah, Takuya. Listen, this is going to knock your socks off.

They're already knocked!

How'd they figure out it's him?

That's the most shocking part!

But I'll fill you in on the bike. C'mon, let's go. No time to waste!

Hurry up!

Takuya sensed that an Iron Cross Army plot was behind the news Sakuma Hitomi told him.

Whatever, just leave me alone, please!

I'm telling you, I'm not Spiderman!

But multiple witnesses saw you!

At least a couple of pictures! Maybe an interview? Well?

There's already a crowd. Wait for me here, Takuya.

Alright.

Excuse me. Mind if I snap a pic?

Come on! Can't you just leave me alone!?

Please! It'll be real quick.

Hurry. Hop in.

-Hey! Wait! Stop! -Where are ya going?

Please wait!

Dang it, Takuya, don't just ride off and leave me here!

Who even are you?

I told you.

I am the woman who made your miracle come true.

Then everything up 'til now...?

Yes, all by my design.

It was the real Spiderman that put an end to those Iron Cross Army men.

But there's no cause for concern.

From today, you will be Spiderman.

The people regard you as a great hero.

From now on, you will live on in this deluxe hotel, an object of affection and admiration to everyone.

There's even a sports car waiting for you in the garage.

The Iron Cross Army suspected Spiderman might appear.

They had already slicked the hotel's walls in oil.

No-one will doubt you anymore.

They'll listen to every word you say.

Anything else you leave to me.

Spiderman!

Spider Strings!

You're being tricked. That woman is-

Follow me! Hurry!

We have to get out of here.

The Iron Cross Army!

Spiderman must've gotten them.

Junichi finally realized all of the events were orchestrated by the Iron Cross Army.

He had to escape the hotel.

You try to escape again, you die.

I'll slaughter your whole family if I have to.

Hello?

Junichi?

Spiderman Takes Aim at Evil Iron Cross Army Again!

The Hero of the Century! He Fights for World Peace!

Miyaguchi Junichi's popularity as Spiderman is sky-high.

What a shame the hero will soon be tied up in scandals...

Disgust at him will grow among his former fans.

The real Spiderman won't bare it. He'll run right into our arms.

This is our golden opportunity to emerge victorious!

We'll have to hurry, otherwise my Machine BEM...

Eruption Beast won't be content just sitting back anymore.

Yes?

Yoko.

I've been thinking...

I just can't bring myself to believe you're Spiderman.

What's going on?

I've been hiding the truth, that I'm Spiderman, this whole time.

You're lying. That can't be true.

You have to believe me.

There must be a reason you can't tell me.

I think it's best if you left and went straight home.

You can't even tell me what's going on?

I'm not lying, I swear!

You should leave. Now.

Is it possible... The Iron Cross Army is using you, Junichi?

Don't be silly!

I don't believe you!

I don't believe there's any way you're really Spiderman!

Leave this room with me.

Can't we go back to how life was before this?

No, we can't.

Just forget about me.

Are we... breaking up?

Yoko... I...

Whatever! See if I care!

Floor it.

Spider Machine, GP- !

Spider Strings!

Then Junichi really is...

He's being used by the Iron Cross Army.

The Iron Cross Army?

What are you all bummed out for?

Hey, um...

Do you think I look like Spiderman?

Yeah, I'm glad we can count on him to do the right thing.

Here, have some of our special papaya juice.

Go. Hurry.

A hit-and-run!?

Spiderman did that!?

Yeah...

Was it fatal?

Thankfully, he was only injured. The police are currently looking into it.

Takuya realized the plot involving Junichi was reaching its cl*max.

He knew it was bait, but he willingly threw himself into their trap.

He was completely drunk.

We begged him not to drive, but...

I wasn't driving that car! I didn't drink anything either!

I see...

But wasn't the vehicle you were sleeping in yours?

Not to mention the bloodstains left on it were a perfect match with the victim's.

But how?

How can any of this be happening!?

C'mon, let's go.

Get up.

Now for the grand finale.

What're you doing!?

Stop!

Wait!

Hurry up and bring Junichi out here. Spiderman will be here soon.

Tie him up where he stands!

Jeez, can't a man get a lil shuteye?

When did you-!?

I found a hole in your plan.

I switched with Junichi partway.

Shh!

The Man who Smashes the Machinations of Evil, Spiderman!

Spider Strings!

Spider Machine, GP- !

Oh crap! Landmines!

I am a Machine BEM, Eruption Beast!

Marveller!

Marveller! Fire the cannons!

Marveller! Change Leopardon!

Leopardon! Sword Vigor!

I'm glad it happened.

Now I understand I need to live life according to my own convictions.

Thank goodness. And it's all thanks to Spiderman.

Yeah.

Alright, let's study hard tonight!

Okay!

Seeing Junichi find his own path in life after emerging from his perils

eased and comforted Spiderman's fellow youthful spirit.

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
