Jiro Goes Mad and Attacks Komyoji

Toyo Bank

As long as DARK Destructoid Stag Beetle Blue is around,

DARK will never be short of money!

Go! Grab everything in sight!

Hold it, thieves!

Get back here!

You saw us! Now you must die!

Beetle Flying Jaws!

Fools!

Tomioka Bank

Toyo First Trust Bank

Daito Trust Union

Who Is Responsible?!

Robbers Break Through Bank Wall

500 Billion Yen Stolen!

Good work, Stag Beetle Blue!

Your efforts allow DARK to continue with our immensely costly research.

The antithesis of the conscience circuit,

our "devil circuit,"

is very nearly complete.

We will create our first modified human

with the devil circuit installed!

An elite DARK cyborg!

For that, we must have Komyoji's assistance... and huge funds!

Meiwa Bank Higashigaoka Branch

They might be those bank robbers. What a scoop!

Who are you?! Who's there?!

What are you doing?!

Women shouldn't play with cameras!

I'm sorry, but I can't let you live!

That guitar...

Where is he?!

Damn him...

Up there!

DARK Destructoid Stag Beetle Blue!

I know what you're up to!

Don't lay a hand on that woman!

- Come! - Butt out! I have photos to take!

Fool! You'll be killed!

Change!

Stop!

I'll take care of Kikaider!

Take the money and run!

Beetle Paralyzer!

Darn, it won't move!

Stunned? My eye beams can stop any machine!

Let this be a lesson to you, Kikaider!

Well, Kikaider? Had enough?

Damn...!

You're a stubborn one!

Let's try one more time...

Beetle Paralyzer!

This time, Kikaider is finished!

Oh no... Without oil, I won't be able to move!

Oh?

What happened here?

A bank?

Those bank robbers must've been here.

There might still be 3000 yen left for me!

One of the gang is still here...

This time I'll get my photo!

Where is it? Where is it?

Here, maybe?

Nothing! Nothing?

They could've at least left 250 yen!

Maybe over here?

What the...

Can't get away now, robber!

Robber? Where?!

You mean moi? You've got it all wrong!

I've already called the police!

Miss, you're making a terrible mistake.

I side with justice, not bank robbers.

This is bad...

I'm completely innocent, but this doesn't look good.

Till we meet again, miss!

Farewell!

Come back here!

See ya!

Stop!

The police! This isn't good.

Kikaider won't last long with those injuries. Let's go!

Officers!

Where's the culprit?

Hiding over there!

After him!

That's not good!

Stop or we'll shoot!

Hold it!

I'm not waiting to find out!

If this is a nightmare, I want to wake up!

Stop! After him!

Hope I have enough strength...

Wait, you!

Stop, stop!

It was a nightmare, after all. Thank goodness!

Yes, thank goodness!

Mitsuko! Masaru!

Where am I?! Where am 1?

Calm down, Hanpei!

We found you unconscious in a manhole.

Good thing we found you instead of the police.

Mari said they'd have put you in jail.

Mari who? Who's Mari?

She offered to let us bring you to her place.

I am Mari, Mr. Robber!

Stay away from me! You stay back!

No need to run. Mitsuko told me all about you.

So do you believe I'm innocent now?

More importantly, Hanpei, we found Father!

He's a guard at a co-op office near the bank.

This time I'm positive it's him.

Mitsuko, never mind me. Go to him!

We did earlier, but he hasn't shown up for work yet.

He works shifts. He should be there at three.

Let's go to that co-op now!

Call it a cameraman's sixth sense... I've got inspiration!

I smell a scoop!

At that moment, Dr. Komyoji never dreamed that

Mitsuko and Masaru were 500 meters away, headed his way.

Mitsuko...

My sixth sense smells a photo.

- Let me go on ahead! - Sure.

I want to snap the decisive moment!

Wait, wait, wait!

Thank you!

Here I go!

You can't get away! Beetle Flying Jaws!

My computer brain is positive. You're Komyoji!

You'll make a wonderful gift.

Come with me to DARK Base.

Caught you red-handed, robbers!

This photo will make me a top cameraman!

You again! Kill her and smash her camera!

Run!

Sis! Mari's in trouble!

Masaru! Look...

I'd better move.

Hey, you android losers! I withessed your crimes!

Evil never prospers! If you don't like it, come and get me!

Kill that goofy P.l.!

Run!

Run! Adjust course to north-northeast!

Over this way!

No! Leave me alone!

I was only kidding!

Over here! Can't catch me!

Kill Komyoiji's brat, too!

Hey! You forgot me!

That one, too!

Wait, no...

My computer brain is going haywire!

What?

Komyoji's been found?

It's time to put the devil circuit to use.

Emperor of evil, his name is Gill

Emperor of evil, his name is Gill DARK Destructoid, Starfish Purple!

Evil flowers bloom and wickedness thrives

Until the day the Earth is his

Gill plays his devil song

Gill plays his devil song I'll turn that traitor, Komyoji, into an evil DARK warrior!

"Go forth, DARK!" cries the sound of the flute I'll turn that traitor, Komyoji, into an evil DARK warrior!

"Go forth, DARK!" cries the sound of the flute

"Go forth, DARK!" cries the sound of the flute Understood, Professor Gill!

Go forth, DARK! Understood, Professor Gill!

Go forth, DARK!

Go forth, DARK! With all due respect, Professor Gill,

Go forth, DARK!

Go forth, DARK! Komyoji has already disappeared somewhere.

Komyoji has already disappeared somewhere.

He would not be foolish enough to return to the co-op.

You already failed to capture Komyoji...

I don't want to hear it, Stag Beetle Blue!

Take a look!

He is a material witness.

Until the crime scene inspection is done, he will be held at the co-op.

Go, Starfish Purple! Kidnap Komyoji!

Thank you, Mari.

If you hadn't found Jiro,

there's no telling what might have happened to him.

No! No, no, no, no! I should thank you!

This is all my fault, after all!

Unfortunately, Mitsuko, we lost Dr. Komyoji again.

We can always find Father again. But Jiro needed my help.

Sis, Jiro's repaired, but he isn't waking up.

It takes time for the oil to warm up and his computer to activate.

That might be Stag Beetle Blue!

If he finds us now, Jiro will be destroyed!

Because of you, Komyoji got away,

and Professor Gill thinks I'm an idiot!

I hate you for it! I'll kill you all!

Kiss my butt!

This way!

Hurry!

Oh, how awful...

Hanpei!

I'll offer your corpses to Professor Gill!

Why did you run?

I've lost my memory.

Sounds suspicious to me.

If you've lost your memory,

how do you know your name is Komyoiji?

Because... that's what everyone calls me.

Who?

Strange DARK robots.

DARK robots?

Jiro!

You're still alive, Kikaider?

Beetle Paralyzer!

I'm not falling for that twice!

Are you all right, Mitsuko?

Yes.

What is it, Jiro?

I sensed the doctor's SOS.

What?!

It's very faint,

but Dr. Komyoji's brain waves are coming from nearby.

He's calling out for help!

Let the doctor go, Starfish Purple!

Shut up! No one's going to stop me!

As long as evil exists in this world Shut up! No one's going to stop me!

As long as evil exists in this world

Cha-

Kikaider...

You are a DARK warrior, born of DARK.

You are a DARK warrior!

Jiro's incomplete conscience circuit strains to resist.

Can Jiro overcome Gill's flute?

Don't give in to Gill's flute, Jiro!

Thrown against the wall by Starfish Purple,

Komyoji regained his lost memories.

But...

Where am 1? Where are Mitsuko and Masaru?

Jiro!

Help me! Take me to Mitsuko and Masaru!

Jiro!

The wind blows through the wasteland Jiro!

He's sending his forces to take our lives

Jiro! Jiro! You are our Jiro!

Please, protect our city...

Please, protect our city... Jiro's confused conscience circuit overheated.

Please, protect our city...

Please, protect our city... Jiro's entire mechanism came to a halt.

Please, protect our city...

Please, keep our country safe...

Please, keep our country safe... Well done, Kikaider! You are a true DARK warrior!

Forever and ever! Well done, Kikaider! You are a true DARK warrior!

Forever and ever!

Forever and ever! What would become of Komyoji?

Forever and ever!

Forever and ever! What would happen to Jiro's short-circuited mechanism?

What would happen to Jiro's short-circuited mechanism?

To be continued

Succumbing to Gill's flute, Jiro allows DARK to take Dr. Komyoji.

Notified by the camerawoman,

the police arrest Jiro for kidnapping Dr. Komyoji.

Meanwhile, DARK uses Dr. Komyoji to complete the fearsome Hakaider.

What will become of Kikaider?
