Electric sparks rush through his body

Jiro, change! Become Kikaider!

Stand against the robots of DARK!

Android Kikaider!

Change, change!

Go, go, go, go!

Go, go, go!

The Bizarre Green Mantis is a Killing Machine

We've spotted Dr. Komyoji's Kikaider!

Attack!

Sorry to disappoint you.

Leaving me to your drones, Destructoid?

Change!

Switch On!

1-2-3!

Here I am, Destructoid!

I am Green Mantis! I will destroy you!

Drat!

You may think you've escaped DARK's Destructoids...

But I'll lure you out.

It's safe to come out. It's me, Jiro.

Here. I brought food.

Did DARK see you?

I lured them out then shook them off.

They won't find us for a while.

Until we find Dad, no danger is too great.

Mitsuko, I have a request.

A request?

I want you to hide somewhere safe for a while.

But where?

Oh! I know someone who would gladly take us in.

Who?

Father's good friend, Dr. Ishigami.

He and his wife are both very nice.

Wait for me there.

What about you, Jiro?

Don't worry about me.

I'll give DARK the slip, then come to get you.

Ishigami Laboratory

Where could that sound be coming from?

Who's there?!

It's me, Ishigami.

Y-You're...

Komyoji!

I-It's really you!

You haven't forgotten our 20-year friendship, then?

Of course not!

When you and Mitsuko vanished five years ago,

I can't tell you how worried I was!

I'm so glad you're all right.

Tell me what you've been doing these past five years.

I have no time to talk.

Why not?

Mitsuko and Masaru escaped from DARK's secret base.

The first place they'll try to hide...

...is the home of Dr. Komyoji's best friend.

I have work to do before they arrive.

What are you talking about?

I'm going to kill you.

That's why I've come.

What? Have you gone mad?

Y-You're...!

DARK Destructoid, Green Mantis.

Laboratory

Laboratory Dear? What's going on, dear?

Dear? What's going on, dear?

Dear! Who did this to you?!

Dr. Komyoji!

As you've seen, I killed Dr. Ishigami.

Murderer!

Hey, wait! Wait! Wait!

He wouldn't stop!

He should pay for my car! I'm still making payments!

I'm Hanpei Hattori, 16th generation descendant of the Iga ninja master, Hanzo Hattori!

You can't damage my car and get away with it!

I'll be coming to collect!

Let's see.

License number "HE-99-99."

"HE-99-99"7? Smells fishy...

A crime!

Time for Hanpei Hattori, ace private eye!

Sis...

Could something have happened to Uncle and Aunt Ishigami?

Let's go look!

What? Father did what to Uncle Ishigami?!

You're lying! Dad could never do such a terrible thing!

I saw it myself.

Your father, Komyoji, murdered my husband.

Auntie...

We had no children, so we thought of you like our own.

But this changes everything.

You're the children of the awful man who murdered my husband!

Leave!

You know better than anyone that Father could never do that.

It has to be a mistake!

Get out!

Be thankful I won't call the police!

Auntie!

Sis!

It's DARK. They did this!

Hey. You there!

Are you the daughter and son of Nobuhiko Komyoji, the murderer?

Dad isn't a murderer!

Where did Komyoji go?

We don't know. We've been looking for him, too.

Don't lie. We've already checked.

It's true. We're telling the truth!

Be as stubborn as you like. We can talk back at headquarters.

You can't do that. We have rights!

- Well, bring them along. - Sir.

Let's go with them, Masaru.

Maybe we can convince them of Father's innocence.

Come on.

It's "HE-99-99," all right.

To think that despicable vehicle was a police car!

Hurry it up.

Hey, hey! Just a moment!

Make it fast.

May I ask you a question?

This license is "HE-99-99" and not "HE-66-66," correct?

Can't you see?

Great. The police are a worthy adversary!

Hey. What're you going to do about my car?!

You didn't even stop. Pay up!

What're you talking about?

- Why, you little... - What's going on?

This fellow is accusing us of something.

Ignore him.

Hey! Hey, officer!

You call yourselves protectors of the law?!

Hanpei Hattori, ace P.l., won't back down!

His arm came off!

Androids! You aren't real police officers!

Behave yourselves.

What an insult!

As the 16th generation descendant of Hanzo Hattori, how could I face my ancestor?!

There!

Don't let him escape!

- Let me go! Let me go! - You're our bait to lure out Kikaider, kid!

No! Let me go! Let me go!

Jiro!

DARK androids, I'm the one you want!

Get him!

Jiro, they've got Sis!

What? They have Mitsuko?!

Yeah!

Damn!

You killed Uncle Ishigami, didn't you? Why?

Want to know?

It was to keep Dr. Komyoji forever bound to DARK.

Komyoji will continue his killing spree.

But... that means Father is alive!

This is DARK Base.

Komyoji's Kikaider has been sighted. Use caution.

He's appeared, just as I planned.

We're being followed.

Jiro?

I'll keep following you until I get my money!

Too bad, it's not Jiro— Just that hapless P.I.

That's the police car!

We've almost caught up. Switching to auto.

The Sidemachine is the vehicle of the future

It tears through the wind as it races along

It can even survive in the water

Racing forward at mach speeds

Go! Beat those DARK robots!

Go! Beat those DARK robots! I will kill Kikaider!

Androids built on the orders of Professor Gill, leader of the evil DARK,

become violent at the sound of his flute.

Jiro, built by Dr. Komyoji, is similarly affected.

Dr. Komyoji, however, secretly installed a conscience circuit

which, though incomplete, gives Jiro the power to resist evil.

Now! Run him over!

We got him!

Switched on, Jiro's conscience circuit becomes fully functional

and he is transformed into Kikaider, champion of justice.

Am I dreaming?!

Green Mantis, I'll settle up with you later!

She's come to.

She'll be all right.

Jiro. Something terrible has happened!

Masaru told me.

He said DARK used an android that looks like Dr. Komyoji

to kill Dr. Ishigami.

Green Mantis mentioned something even more frightening.

DARK plans to blame Father for more murders!

More people will be killed!

Any idea who might be next?

It might be Mr. 1zaki, Father's former assistant.

DARK... DARK...

Go, Green Mantis...

Kill Komyoji's assistant, Izaki!

Izaki. It's me, Komyoji.

Wake up.

What's the matter? It's me.

Can't you hear me?

Kikaider!

Good. I've been looking all over for you.

Give it a rest, impostor!

Wh-What are you talking about?!

I escaped from DARK!

Oh? Then how do you explain that shadow?

You're unforgivable!

You framed Dr. Komyoji and murdered his friend, Dr. Ishigami!

I did it to lure you out and destroy you!

DARK will do anything to achieve its goals.

Today, you're mine!
