01x40 - Farewell to the Mystery of the Zero

[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!

What an amazing machine.

Set the timer to the second World w*r.

Just before Japan's defeat, an entirely new engine was created for this plane, the Zero Fighter.

It was truly a magnificent engine.

And you wish to install it in this Machine BEM?

That's correct.

A new class of Machine BEM will be born, and world conquest will become child's play.

There's just one problem.

The blueprints to this engine went missing at the end of the w*r.

I'll get right on it.

Please do, Amazoness.

Just wait a little longer, Air Bombing Ray.

Farewell, Mystery of the Zero Fighter

Thanks, Masaki. It's no wonder you won that remote control airplane competition.

Let me know if I'm gonna show up in a magazine.

Of course!

Masaki!

Gramps!

You're still hitting the right hand side a little hard when you're landing.

Oh, you think so?

Perfect timing! Here, mind if I get a picture of you as well?

-No pictures!

I hate pictures.

Now come along, Masaki, it's time to go home. I'll inspect your wings for you at the house.

Gramps was one of the designers of the Zero Fighters used during World w*r II.

He's a total square when it comes to people and pictures, but a real ace with machines.

So don't take it personally, 'kay? Bye!

Did you find the problem, Gramps?

It was the carburetor acting up.

Oh, that's the phone. Mind getting it for me, Masaki?

No prob!

Gramps! It's Mr. Nishimura!

Alright.

Yes, hello?

Oh! Is that you Obara? The blueprints! They're-

Hey! Nishimura! What's wrong?

What about the blueprints?

Hello!?

Hey! Are you there? Nishimura!

Hello!?

Gramps, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost.

Masaki... I need to see Nishimura right away.

Don't go anywhere, okay?

Obara Auto Dismantling Services

Gramps!

Takuya!

Takuya!

What're you doing, Takuya? We got a case on our hands!

Okay, finally some action!

Mr. Obara, I presume. We've been waiting for you.

Oh, I should introduce myself. I'm President Nishimura's secretary, Yoshida Saeko.

I see. Mr. Nishimura tried phoning me a little earlier, and it really worried me.

About that...

While he was on the phone with you he collapsed from a brain hemorrage.

I don't know anything about it...

But he was concerned about some engine blueprints of some kind and he asked me to call you.

That's all he could muster.

Now come in. He's been waiting.

Come on.

Nishimura!

He's dead!

Now then, tell us where the blueprints are, Mr. Obara.

Blueprints!?

I dunno what you're talking about!

Don't play dumb with me.

The Iron Cross Army knows enough.

The Iron Cross Army?

The Iron Cross Army!?

Who's there!?

Hey, wait up!

After that girl!

Yes, ma'am!

There's no point staying here. Mr. Obara...

You're coming with us.

I refuse!

You still don't understand your position, do you?

Gramps! Gramps!

Masaki!

Now you get it.

You monsters...

You're going to bring us to the blueprints.

Well? Stop your grumbling.

Fine. As long as you swear Masaki will remain unharmed.

The Iron Cross Army always keeps its promises.

Gramps!

Masaki!

Here. The blueprints are inside of this.

Now... let Masaki go!

Gramps!

Not until we check the content's validity.

Hand it over.

Don't give it to her!

Spider String!

Spider Strings!

Spiderman! The blueprints!

The blueprints!

Don't speak. Just hang in there.

-Gramps! -Masaki!

Spiderman...

Don't push yourself, Mr. Obara.

Listen to me.

Right before the end of the w*r, an engineer named Nango created a whole new type of engine.

The power it generated was times that of normal engines.

But... Nango fell ill when our nation was defeated...

He was horrified by what he saw during the w*r...

and he hoped his invention would be used for peace.

He split the blueprints into three, hiding them within flare canisters, passing them to his three apprentices.

He passed not long after. His three apprentices protected the canisters to this very day...

keeping them hidden until a new era of peace will dawn.

And you were one of those apprentices, weren't you, Mr. Obara?

That's why... they k*lled Nishimura.

Shizuka!

Shizuka?

She's in danger.

The third apprentice is already dead. She's his daughter.

She should be arriving at Haneda airport back from her vacation today!

Spiderman...

Shizuka's life is in danger!

I understand. I'll protect her.

Spiderman rushed to Haneda Airport while reporting to the police what Obara had told him.

These are certainly them.

But where is the last one?

We have a lead on it. You can leave it to me.

The Iron Cross Army!

Shizuka.

Tell us. Where did you hide the old flare canister your father passed down to you?

I'll let you go if you tell me.

I... I don't know what you're talking about!

Don't play dumb with me!

Tell me. Tell me or I'll k*ll you!

I really don't know anything about that!

That's too bad.

Then die.

-Do it. -Yes, ma'am.

Spiderman!

Get him!

Get out of here!

Spiderman!

You've fallen into our trap!

Spiderman, Shizuka was just a play for us to draw you out here.

We already know Obara is also holding onto the last one!

By now, one of our units should be storming the hospital, carrying out their mission.

Gramps! You're awake!

Masaki!

-Ah! Gramps! -Masaki!

The Iron Cross k*ller, Spiderman!

How dare you try to revive the Zero Fighter to be used in w*r again!

You'll pay!

Air Bombing Ray, destroy Spiderman!

Spider Machine, GP- !

Marveller!

Marveller! Fire the cannons!

Concerned over their safety,

Spiderman convinced Mr. Obara to burn the remaining blueprint.

Gramps, they wouldn't be able to make the engine with just two blueprints, right?

No. It would be impossible.

You need all three if you ever wanted to hope to build it.

Not even the Iron Cross Army?

That's right. It's for the best.

I'm sure Nango would understand as well.

Spiderman felt it best to lock away the new engine for the Zero Fighter forever.

After all, who knows when the Iron Cross Army would use it as a weapon for evil?

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
