ANDROID

Switch on! 1-2-3!

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!

This is Ayako Kato.

Tomorrow, she will wed Asst. Professor Hisaharu Yokoegawa,

a rising robotics engineer, upon his return from Europe.

They have been in love for five years.

If he is happily married,

Professor Yokoegawa's research will advance by leaps and bounds.

In time, he will surely equal Komyoji as a leader in robotics.

He will become a troublesome adversary for DARK.

Heed me!

Professor Yokoegawa must be driven away from Japan!

To do that, we must stop the wedding tomorrow.

Kill Ayako Kato!

Kill her...

Kill...

Kill!

The Three Yellow Antlion Brothers!

The Three Yellow Antlion Brothers!

Help!

It's DARK!

Somebody help!

DARK is after you, right? This way!

Hurry!

What is this?!

An antlion pit!

You fell right into my trap! Suffer! Suffer!

You're in DARK Destructoid Yellow Antlion's trap!

Now, fall to me!

If you won't give up, I'll knock you down!

What's that sound?

Where is he? Where is he?

Must be Kikaider! Damn!

Where is he?!

Up there!

DARK Destructoid Yellow Antlion!

I will not let evil androids attack humans!

- Oh, help! - Shut up, Kikaider!

What are you going to do about it?!

I'll take you on!

Jiro! Help, please!

Jiro!

Help!

Hold on tight!

Right...

Get away, quick!

Get him!

I guess I'll have to take you on myself! Let's go!

Oops! That was a mistake!

You're as good as I heard you were!

But you're no match for Yellow Antlion!

Kikaider, call off Ayako Kato's wedding!

If you don't, I'm taking Ayako Kato's life!

Then I'll destroy you with Operation: Alphabet!

Operation: Alphabet?!

It's lovely!

Cancel my wedding? I could never do that!

Why not?

My father's been hospitalized with a weak heart.

We've asked a priest to marry us up on a hill

so my father can watch the ceremony from his room.

It was to be just the two us!

Just the two of you atop a hill?

Hisaharu is coming back to Japan for the wedding.

Father is anxiously looking forward to tomorrow's wedding.

That's all he talks about.

If we canceled the wedding, he might have a heart attack!

If he does, he might not survive!

When I think about that, I...!

You're a very lucky woman, Ayako.

You have a father who can watch your wedding,

And...

You fell in love with a man you can marry.

Did you fall in love with someone you can't marry?

How would I look in this, Jiro?

Ayako, DARK knows this place. It's too dangerous.

Get your things together and hide out with your father.

I've talked to the hospital.

All right.

Masaru, I want you to protect Ayako.

Okay.

Jiro...

I'll deliver Ayako's things.

Jiro!

Show yourself, Yellow Antlion!

Your petty tricks won't work on me!

Fight!

Watch this, Kikaider!

Yellow Antlion Metamorphosis!

Surprised?

Where'd he go?

I'm right here!

Antlion Electromagnetic Wave!

I'm over here! Can't you find me?

Brothers, attack!

We've almost got him!

You're pinned!

Take this! Hell Machine!

I love the outdoors. Can't stay inside all day.

Makes me hungry.

Wait! Come back, my little rice ball!

I still have to eat you!

Kikaider!

Operation: Alphabet!

Operation A: Diamonds!

Diamond dust will clog Kikaider's foot jets

and render them useless!

Operation B: VHF waves!

A high energy shortwave beam will induce induction

and disrupt Kikaider's entire body!

Oh, no! This is terrible!

I'm no coward, but what should I do?!

No, there's nothing I can do!

Operation C: Electromagnets!

Operation D: Electro-shock!

Operation E: Hydrogen fluoride!

Hot hydrogen fluoride will melt away Kikaider's body!

Kikaider's melting!

It's the end...

Were you watching, Professor Gill?

You've obviously done your homework.

But if it doesn't work on the real Kikaider,

it's meaningless!

You need not worry.

Together, we three Antlion Brothers will kill Ayako,

and when Kikaider tries to stop us, we will put an end to him

with Operation: Alphabet!

What's keeping Jiro? He left before we did.

Silly Masaru. Were you thinking about Father again?

We should be the ones cheering Ayako up.

That's the hill where Ayako's ceremony will be held.

It's so wonderful.

That's how I want my wedding to be!

Sis, someone's coming.

It must be DARK!

Okay...

Hanpen!

- I seem to be fainting a lot today! - I'm so sorry!

- Hang in there! - Hanpen!

Hanpen!

Jiro, Hanpen's...

Jiro! What happened?

I can't pull it out. I've tried everything I could.

Does it hurt?

No, but I think it's slowing me down.

It's coated with a chemical that causes rust.

We have to pull it out!

Are you all right?

Ready?

Hang on!

This should stop the rust.

But there's nothing more I can do.

That's all right. I won't let this beat me.

Jiro...

I'm worried because I'm not skilled enough.

Say... What is the "Operation: Alphabet" Yellow Antlion mentioned?

Will you be all right, Jiro?

I'll be fine.

I really envy Ayako.

Jiro!

What is it?

Jiro. I think DARK found this place.

I just managed to save Ayako and get her out safely.

Yeah, right! You were trembling the whole time!

What do you mean, I was trembling?

I'll have you know I'm still trembling!

It's too dangerous to leave here now.

We'll all wait until morning.

Right.

Hisaharu's late... He hasn't even called!

His plane must've been delayed.

But it's almost time!

Is it morning already?

My...

You look radiant!

What are you doing?

I'll stand in for the groom.

From a distance, no one will know.

A delay in the ceremony could cause Akiko's father's condition to act up.

Then I'll be the bride in Ayako's place!

Don't be ridiculous! DARK may have that hill in their sights!

What about yourself?

There's no telling what DARK might try against you.

I'm an android—

Ayako's father's life is more important than my own.

Hisaharu Yokoegawa,

do you take Ayako Kato to be your wife,

to love and to cherish until death do you part?

I do.

Ayako Kato,

do you take Hisaharu Yokoegawa to be your husband,

to love and to cherish until death do you part?

I do!

Then you'll both die now!

Help! A monster!

Operation A: Diamonds!

I'll just suck it all up!

Suck it up, suck it up! I'll make myself a diamond later!

At that moment, Professor Gill plays his evil flute.

If Jiro succumbs, he will become a follower of DARK.

Those born of DARK must return to DARK!

Operation E: Hydrogen fluoride!

This'll blow it right back at you!

Not strong enough!

Help!

The hydrogen fluoride saved Jiro.

Change! It paralyzed his auditory circuits,

It paralyzed his auditory circuits,

Switch On! It paralyzed his auditory circuits,

1-2-3! making him unable to hear Gill's flute.

1-2-3!

Switch on! 1-2-3!

Electric sparks rush through his body

Jiro, change! Become Kikaider!

Jiro, change! Become Kikaider! Fight, Brothers! Don't let him beat you!

Jiro, change! Become Kikaider!

Stand against the robots of DARK!

Stand against the robots of DARK! Come on!

Stand against the robots of DARK!

Android Kikaider!

Android Kikaider! Giant Swing!

Change, change! Giant Swing!

Change, change!

Go, go, go, go!

Go, go, go!

We're getting revenge!

Switch on! 1-2-3!

Switch on! 1-2-3! Operation B: VHF waves!

Switch on! 1-2-3!

He's driving in on his Sidemachine

Go, go, go, go!

Go, go, go, go! I'm not done yet!

Go, go, go, go!

Go, go, go!

Spinning Attack!

Damn you!

Giant Swing!

Denji End!

Thank you!

Thank you so much for everything, Jiro.

My flight's delay caused so much trouble.

I should thank you for repairing my entire body.

As a student of robotics, it's the least I could do.

Your body is in perfect working order.

When I finally reach Dr. Komyoji's level,

I'd like to help complete your conscience circuit.

I hope you find your father soon.

You don't need to worry. I'm sure he's well.

Right! When it's Sis' turn to wear a wedding dress,

I know Dad will come back!

Oh, dear...

But you really do look lovely, Ayako.

Very lovely...

Jiro, do you think I'd look this good...?

Jiro?

Jiro!

Jiro defeated DARK Destructoid Yellow Antlion and his brothers.

Jiro! Jiro! Jiro defeated DARK Destructoid Yellow Antlion and his brothers.

Jiro defeated DARK Destructoid Yellow Antlion and his brothers.

But where is Dr. Komyoji?

When would they all find happiness?

Jiro continues on his endless quest.

To be continued

Men disappear whenever this beauty walks the streets.

DARK is reprogramming these men to turn them into puppets.

Psychologist Yagi's daughter Yuriko is kidnapped to help the plan succeed.

Kikaider stands against DARK's evil scheme.

The reprogrammed men are sent into combat with bombs.

Yagi's daughter is strapped to a bridge. Kikaider rushes to save her!

See you next time for "The Devil Woman? Pink Armadillo."

Jiro, the man with the guitar...

He's our friend, a kind and powerful robot

Every day he does battle with evil

Defeating them with hits from his guitar

Go! Beat those DARK robots!
