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!

I am DARK Destructoid Crimson Squid.

I'm taking your brains.

Crimson Squid Flying Head!

Squid!

You're much more beautiful this way.

I'll put you to good use... as part of me!

She was a karate and judo prodigy.

Her martial arts genius is now yours!

Crimson Squid Targets Pretty Coeds Her martial arts genius is now yours!

Crimson Squid Targets Pretty Coeds

Violin Recital

Somebody!

Help me!

I'm taking your brains. Flying Squid Head!

This musical prodigy's critical ear will give you

superlative hearing in battle.

This coed's electronics genius...

It will enable you to make battle computations.

This coed's chemical genius...

It will give you mastery of chemicals and explosives.

Student Prodigies Vanished?!

Fourth Student Disappears

DARK Destructoids have always lost to Kikaider

because his conscience circuit allows him

to make appropriate decisions in various situations.

If they had human brains to make decisions,

they would not lose to Kikaider!

Crimson Squid, you are our prototype.

You already have the brains of four coeds,

yet you still say you're no match for Kikaider?!

Correct.

With only martial arts, a critical ear,

electronics technology, and chemical skills,

I am still no match for Kikaider, Professor Gill.

I lack Kikaider's ability to assess an enemy's strengths

and find its weaknesses.

Silence!

All right...

If I give you the brain of a coed robotics genius,

will you be satisfied?

This is Chidori Shimamura, a Jonan University sophomore.

She is the top robotics student at her school.

With her brain, you will be a robotics genius.

Listen to me!

You must kill Chidori Shimamura and steal her brain!

Kill her... Kill, kill, kill!

Kill her!

Chidori Shimamura, I'm taking your brains!

Very grotesque... An android, aren't you?

What?

Yes, quite well-built.

I wasn't aware robotics had advanced this far.

Are you a domestic model or an import?

Didn't you hear me?! I said I'm taking your brains!

Your vocabulary is incorrect.

"Brains" is colloquial usage. You want my "brain."

Yes...

And although you may want it, I don't plan on giving it to you.

Don't assume you can just take it.

Thanks, you were quite interesting.

Goodbye.

G-Goodb...

Stop, Chidori Shimamura! Stop, I say!

More of you?!

You seem to be on the inferior side, though.

Stop babbling! I'm taking your brains... er, your brain!

Crimson Squid Flying Head!

That guitar!

- Where is he? Where is he? - Who are you looking for?

That man?

There he is!

DARK Destructoid Crimson Squid!

So you were responsible for the missing coeds!

That's me! What're you gonna do about it?!

You must be punished!

Kill him!

Kill him...

You're in danger. Stand back!

You're the one in danger!

You jumped down from that high place, now you're going to fight them...

Stop it!

You may not realize it, but they're androids!

What if you were to get hurt?

Kill him!

Kill him!

Kill him! Kill him!

Crimson Squid Shooter!

My Sucker Squeeze is next!

I heard your Aero Foot Jets kicking in,

so I set an invisible force field above you!

Now you know that mine is no ordinary brain, Kikaider!

Damn you, Crimson Squid!

This is my Sucker Squeeze! Does it hurt?

I'm looking for love.

Please let me find a wonderful woman!

Immediate results!

I'll keep this.

You'll catch a cold napping out here.

You're welcome to sleep in my car.

Oh, er, that is...

Shall I bring you a blanket?

I don't need a blanket. Your face does!

My face?!

Still, she's my kind of woman!

Miss, you forgot your books!

Oh, miss! Miss!

Wait up!

How do you like that?

A different android...

What'd you just do, Kikaider?!

Wait, that's my body! What am I doing to my own body?!

Can't I win without Chidori Shimamura's brains?!

I'll be back, Kikaider!

How wonderful!

Wonderful? Well, I wouldn't say I was all that...

Not you, stupid.

I meant that two-tone android!

Wait! Wait!

- Miss! - He's gone!

He's gone! He's not here!

It's your fault that my research subject is gone!

Your "research subject"?

That two-tone android intrigues me.

He'll be the subject of my next paper.

Oh?

I'm glad you weren't hurt.

They seem to be after you. You'll need to be careful.

No thanks to you!

It was that two-tone android who saved me.

You talk the talk, but you ran off when things got rough.

You've got it all wrong. Mr. Jiro here is...

Let's just leave it at that, Hattori.

I suppose we can do that.

Mr. Jiro, I will see this young lady back safely.

You may continue your search for Dr. Komyoji.

Well, miss, shall we go?

M-Miss?

Where could Dad be?

Maybe we'll never see him again.

We will!

But right now, I'm starving!

Me, too.

Thank you for coming by.

My pleasure.

Chidori loves hot dogs.

Have you remembered anything yet?

No.

I might be better off not remembering and just living like this.

You mustn't think like that.

My husband was a scholar, too.

Five years ago, he disappeared like so many others.

I have no idea where he is now.

Your family is surely anxiously awaiting your return.

Since losing his memory, Komyoji drifted about,

wondering if he had a family waiting for him.

The thought that he might not was so depressing

that he discarded his hopes.

Oh, I know. Won't you come over to our place later?

Today is my daughter Chidori's birthday.

Chidori thinks of you like a father.

Maybe it's because you help her with her robotics studies.

Let's get a hot dog from that vendor, Sis.

Good idea.

Such a cute little stand! Let's go.

Chidori... Such a lovely name!

- Hanpen! - Drop it already!

Hey! What are you doing here?

I, uh, er... you know.

Are you friends with this pervert?

Pervert?

No, no!

That's cruel, Chidori!

I just... want to serve you as your loyal knight.

And I want you to get lost!

Keep him away from me!

Now look, Uncle drove off because of you!

Who?

Ouch!

But I love being hit by you! Hit me some more!

More, more, more!

I love it!

No, I don't!

Shall I hit you more?!

You're not my type!

Chidori Shimamura! I've come back for your brains!

What a rude android.

I never told you I'd let you have them.

And correct your speech.

Stop confusing me!

What are you planning to do to her, DARK Destructoid?!

Komyoji's daughter... Perfect! I'll take your brains, too!

- Crimson Squid Flying Head! - Quick, run away!

Kikaider!

Hurry!

Give that back!

You're a fool, Crimson Squid! When will you ever learn?!

Damn you!

And now...

Give me back my head!

I'll be back for revenge, Kikaider! This isn't over!

Are you all right?

Kikaider?

I apologize for butting in again, Chidori.

That's all right.

You were that two-tone android, weren't you?

l... was very rude to you.

Jiro... Let me do that!

Your research... You will write your paper, won't you?

Chidori!

Chidori!

What was that horrible monster?!

It's nothing to worry about, Mother.

Oh, I know!

Why don't you all come on over to my house?

To your house?

That's a good idea. We owe you our thanks.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Here it is.

Happy Birthday

What a nice cake!

Mother's an excellent baker.

Looks delicious.

Thank you.

Hanpen, let's get to work.

Excuse us.

He's wonderful...

It's hard to believe Jiro is an android.

Jiro's not just an android!

Happy birthday, Chidori!

Thank you!

We can start when Uncle arrives.

Your uncle?

That's what she calls the hot dog vendor.

He's a very nice man. He promised he'd come.

Very knowledgeable about robots, too.

About robots? How old is he?

Forty-four, maybe forty-five.

He seems very distinguished, but he said he lost his memory.

Could he be...?

What? I did say I wanted to be Chidori's knight,

but why must a knight do such a thing?

Stop complaining. Knights don't complain.

It's them. Not again!

Let's move!

Chidori!

Take a good look, Crimson Squid!

That's not Chidori!

What?!

Fight me, Crimson Squid!

You're becoming a real pain! Get him!

Sorry, Crimson Squid, sir. Will you kindly let me go now?

Yeah, right! You must be kidding!

Did you say squidding? How amusing!

I'm not very bright, you know.

My IQ's just 18, like my age.

I'm still taking your brains!

I like junk food!

Wait up!

You'll ruin everything if he sees you, Chidori!

- But I'm worried about Jiro! - Chidori!

Jiro's efforts will be in vain if you go back!

Let me go!

Hanpen!

Help me, Chidori! Help me!

Thanks for making this easy for me!

Let's go!

Hold it!

You just don't get it, do you?!

Run!

Suffer, Kikaider!

Once you've succumbed to my flute,

you will be under DARK's command!

Professor Gill's flute causes Jiro's electronic brain intense pain.

Jiro's incomplete conscience circuit strains to resist,

but there is nothing to block the sound of the flute.

Your life ends here, Kikaider.

Crimson Squid Sucker Squeeze!

Crimson Squid's suckers shut out Gill's flute.

Jiro changes into Kikaider!

Now!

Change!

Switch On!

1-2-3!

Jiro, the man with the guitar...

Jiro, the man with the guitar... Let's do it!

Jiro, the man with the guitar...

He's our friend, a kind and powerful robot

He's our friend, a kind and powerful robot Crimson Squid Shooter!

Crimson Squid Shooter!

Every day he does battle with evil Crimson Squid Shooter!

Every day he does battle with evil

Every day he does battle with evil Crimson Squid Flying Head!

Defeating them with hits from his guitar Crimson Squid Flying Head!

Defeating them with hits from his guitar

Go! Beat those DARK robots!

The Sidemachine is the vehicle of the future

The Sidemachine is the vehicle of the future Spinning Attack!

The Sidemachine is the vehicle of the future

It tears through the wind as it races along

It can even survive in the water

It can even survive in the water Giant Swing!

It can even survive in the water

It can even survive in the water Deniji End!

It can even survive in the water

Thank you for everything.

I'll keep your father in my prayers.

Please do be careful.

I wish you good health.

Thank you.

The cake was delicious!

We'll be leaving now... Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Let's go.

Mitsuko.

Find happiness...

...with Jiro.

Thank you.

- Bye! - Bye!

Goodbye!

Goodbye!

I want to call out to those two...

But if I do, those robots might appear again.

Terrible things happen to everyone I meet.

I bring unhappiness to people.

Kikaider defeated DARK Destructoid Crimson Squid.

But where is Dr. Komyoji?

When would they all find happiness?

Jiro continues on his endless quest.

To be continued

Mitsuko and Masaru come to Yonago searching for their father.

But DARK is still after him.

Professor Gill's henchmen are building a secret laboratory.

A traveling father and daughter become targets when they learn about it.

A mysterious man stalks Masaru and Mitsuko.

Even Jiro has his hands full fighting off a new Destructoid

along with an attack from the sky.

Can he put an end to DARK's schemes?

Join us next time for "Octopus Gold Calls for Jiro's Death."

Jiro, the man with the guitar...

He's our friend, a kind and powerful robot

Every day he does battle with evil
