Golden Bat's Cursed Shadow

Die! Die!

The test is a success.

Golden Bat!

Your fighting technique is nearly perfect.

I will not be defeated!

That's exactly what I will do to Kikaider!

Your orders are to stand by at DARK Base.

Dispose of the Kikaider stand-in.

Come on, please move.

I haven't prayed at my ancestors' graves in a decade.

Humor me this once!

A head!

I-It's Kikaider!

No, no... it couldn't be!

No, it's just one of their drones!

I must be near a DARK base.

DARK Secret Plans

Damn... an alarm!

Intruder alert! All security, come at once!

O DARK... Where art thou?

Thief! Stop!

That crummy car!

It runs for others, but never for me, damn it!

An ambush... Damn!

Get out!

Hand over DARK's plans!

It's Jiro!

Where?!

There!

Damn him!

Fight me, DARK drones!

Get away!

Jiro, the young man with the red guitar,

battles DARK, an organization bent on conquering the world.

Professor Gill, DARK's leader, has forced top scientists

to create formidable androids of unmatched power.

The sound of Professor Gill's electronic flute

possessed the power to make androids violent.

Those born of DARK must return to DARK.

Jiro was himself an android built by DARK

who possessed formidable capabilities.

But a conscience circuit in Jiro's body

allows him to resist Gill's evil orders.

Because it is incomplete, however,

it causes Jiro unbearable physical torment.

He is torn between violence and self-control.

Once free from the strains of Gill's flute,

Jiro transforms into Android Kikaider, champion of justice.

Now's my chance!

Change!

Switch On!

1-2-3!

Android Kikaider's mission is to battle DARK

and find his creator, Dr. Komyoji.

And as for Dr. Komyoji himself...

Komyoji

Komyoji?

Why did I come here?

Is the name Komyoji connected to my lost memories?

Upon discovering DARK's evil plans, Dr. Komyoji installed

a conscience circuit in Kikaider.

However, he has since lost his memory.

No one's lived here in quite a while.

These siblings must have lived here.

Someone's coming! They might be after me.

See? I told you Dad didn't come back.

I guess not.

I thought Father's memory might return

and he'd be waiting for us here.

Let's stay here tonight. We haven't been home in a while.

Okay. DARK won't come looking here anymore.

What?

Look, Masaru... Footprints!

- See? - Maybe they're Dad's!

Dad!

Dad!

As he struggled to regain his lost memory,

Dr. Komyoji lived in constant fear of his DARK pursuers.

That fear kept him from being reunited with Mitsuko and Masaru.

Stop right there!

You DARK cretins never give up!

You're making a mistake!

Taro!

It is!

What? Your elder brother?!

Mitsuko! Masaru!

Taro!

- Masaru! It's so good to see you! - Big brother!

Big brother!

I thought your environmental protection team was killed by DARK!

After my chopper went down, I awoke in DARK's infirmary.

DARK used me to coerce Dad into helping them.

We're glad you're back! Will you help us find Dad?

Sure!

Don't ever leave again.

I won't. I've already caused you too much grief.

I'll make it up to you!

- Awesome! - Let's do it!

Taro!

Big brother!

Masaru!

Mitsuko told me...

Dad built you to take my place.

I don't believe you're really the Komyojis' eldest son.

Can't blame you. DARK's used every trick to attack you.

But look at me! Do I look like a DARK android to you?!

Prove to me that under your skin, you aren't just gears and machine oil.

Stop it, both of you!

Look, Jiro. Taro risked his life to steal DARK's plans!

DARK Secret Plans

According to those plans,

DARK's new android will be shipped tonight from Tokyo Pier.

Taro's going to stop them. Help him out, Jiro!

Jiro doesn't believe me. I'll go alone.

No, you can't! Please, Jiro?

You'll come?

DARK's new android is in that crate.

You told the truth. I'll take care of the rest.

You can't go alone.

No. You stay, for Dr. Komyoiji, Mitsuko, and Masaru's sake.

He'll need help.

It's Jiro! That's his guitar!

Find him!

This is it.

He's here! He's on the roof!

Never mind me, Jiro! Destroy the android!

I've got to save Taro!

Jiro!

Or should I say, Komyoiji's android...

Glad you could make it!

The new android... You were awake!

The name is DARK Destructoid, Golden Bat!

I've trained in many deadly techniques to destroy you.

Consider this a mere introduction.

I've got to change!

Suffer!

Anticipating quick victory,

Golden Bat commits a grave mistake.

The sound of rushing wind

shields Jiro from the sound of Gill's flute.

Now!

Change!

Kikaider!

We'll settle this next time, Golden Bat!

Taro!

What happened?

Forgive me! I should've been more careful!

Don't touch him, Jiro!

Somewhere deep inside, you doubted Taro!

That's why you let this happen to him!

You're wrong! I never...

Sis and I will look after Taro.

I see... I'm not wanted here.

I'm going to take a nap. Wake me if you need me.

Be strong, Taro!

It's us, Taro!

Taro!

Taro...

I'm fine.

But there's something I still have to do.

What's that?

While Jiro is asleep,

I want to complete his conscience circuit.

You?

Didn't you know?

I'm the one who asked Dad to install the conscience circuit.

You suggested it to Father?

Do you have Jiro's schematic?

It's hidden in his guitar. I'll assist you.

No, I can manage alone.

Jiro doesn't want you to see his insides, right?

You're very thoughtful, Taro.

This is it, the troublesome conscience circuit.

Taro!

Surprised?

If I get rid of this conscience circuit Dr. Komyoji installed,

those born of DARK can return to DARK.

Are you mad?!

Not at all.

Hope you enjoyed your brief reunion with your dead brother.

Then, you're not...

Come along quietly.

You and the brat will be bait to lure Komyoji out.

Come!

Let me go!

Then is Taro...?

He's dead!

What?! That can't be!

Jiro!

How... How can this be?!

Simple!

I changed the schematic.

You just removed a bunch of spare parts!

Damn you!

Stop!

Let me go!

Kikaider!

Time to settle the score, Golden Bat!

Damn you, Kikaider!

You won't get away!

Kikaider defeated DARK's Golden Bat.

Jiro shared Mitsuko and Masaru's hurt feelings.

When would they all find happiness?
