Original subtitles

Why didn't you stay and fight that guy with your robot?

It looked like you could win.

That monster is strong.

Fighting it would take time and besides

winning isn't what's important.

Why not? Taking down monsters is a hero's job!

Daddy said so!

That's right, but...

Getting you to the surface is my mission.

Now is not the time to fight.

Fine...

I'm exhausted! But let's rest a little bit.

My legs are totally worn out.

Eeek! A monster?!

Don't worry. That's a monster I killed earlier.

Hey, that looks like Donkan Bird!

Come to think of it, he did mention an animal costume.

Is that a famous character?

It's the mascot from the comedy show "Animal Empire" that aired a while back.

Donkan Bird is thick-headed and stupid, so he always dies.

Always dies?

Yeah! But he's really thick-headed.

So he always comes back to life in the next episode as if nothing happened.

Comes back to life...

Well...it was just a TV show.

Monster behavior is unpredictable.

We don't even know what triggers them or what their origins really are.

What if the man who became a monster by wearing a costume

had continued living as the character itself?

Gyoro-Gyoro said...

You must overcome a hell that pushes you to death's edge.

That is the secret to a monster's explosive growth.

THREAT LEVEL: DRAGON RESURRECTED PHOENIX MAN

Birdlime Shotgun!

A heat blast?!

Get down!

Stay here and don't move.

What are you gonna do? Don't leave me!

I'm all out of Underdog Men, so I'll have to fight it myself.

BRAVE CHILD

I'll defeat this creep one more time!

Transparent film again?

I'll find out...

by using Beak Attack again!

You've got a lot of confidence for someone who just lost.

Come on.

Phoenix Explosion Beak Attack!

He penetrated all of them? That's crazy.

Child Emperor?

Indeed. I am stronger.

This feeling of omnipotence.

Now everything I see appears to glow.

At this very moment, it appears that I am the mightiest of them all.

I am...

I am number one among all living things.

Don't cry.

This time, I'll kill you before you have time to feel fear.

I'm not crying because I'm scared.

I'm furious at my own weakness.

You're not even a top ranker and you surpassed my expectations...

This wasn't supposed to happen...

Not here...

I can't believe I already have to use my ultimate weapon.

Come on! Brave Giant!

Here I come!

Just in case something like this happened

I planted parts underground ahead of time.

What the heck?

If you had that, you shoulda used it from the start!

He has a point...

Once you rescued the hostage the smartest move would've been

to summon that thing and escape immediately.

But the fact that you didn't means it must have

some major limitations on when it can be used?

There's no time!

I need to finish this once and for all.

Divider Shield.

Homing Missiles!

Phoenix Flares!

Damn it! Delta Scale Saber!

I don't know how that costume works, but it's got decent speed.

But... You're out of sync.

Behold the ensemble I weave in perfect sync with Donkan Bird!

Phoenix Fire Falcon Mode.

Did he just speed up?!

Phoenix Heat Up Talons Attack!

Take that!

What's the matter?

You'll never make it as a first-class costume actor if you keep that up!

Shut up! Go!! Little Braves!!

Mobiii!

All Range Attack!

Phoenix Prominence Hawk Mode!

No way! He absorbed it?

Here's your payback!

Super Vibration Blade!

I have to hurry... I have to finish him quickly.

After three minutes, I'll lose control of its energy...

He's in a rush to settle this.

Just as I thought, it's a weapon that can't stay active long.

Then take this!

Phoenix Homing Wing Attack!

Oh no!

Child Emperor!

Heh, I'll force him to use his precious trump card right here.

I'll keep firing homing missiles while staying hidden

until his time limit runs out.

Found you.

What?

I knew you'd try that.

This Irritating Electromagnetic Shield is 100 times stronger than my usual one.

I can't break free!!

This is the end!

Giant Fist Strike!

You cocky little brat!

He took the punch?!

Output limit. Cooling system damaged.

Over-booster enabled. Output restriction lifted.

Hyper Degenerate Battery nearing explosion.

Evacuate immediately...

He grows stronger by the second.

If I don't take him down for good, I won't be able to protect Waganma!

That incredible speed is most likely...

This is my last chance.

I'll link up with him so we can take this guy down together!

Crap. I knew it. He resurrects, after all.

The signal is close.

Flash! Where are you?!

What...?!

What is this place?!

Why is the transmitter here?

Don't tell me they took down Flash?!

I have to thank you, Child Emperor.

You may be just a kid, but you're still a Class-S hero.

An ordinary opponent could never have pushed me to evolve this far.

H-He's still...

Child Emperor, we should escape while we still can!

Come on!

No, if he's still trying to raise his threat level

we need to end this now!

Even after the show was cancelled

Donkan Bird wouldn’t let me take off the costume.

Day by day, I felt myself becoming less human.

The costume began communicating with me.

Beam Engraver!

Freed from all restraints, I will become an eternal being.

It is now our turn to take center stage in this world.

My costume and I were killed over and over again...

But this is our victory born of pure determination!

Phoenix Brilliant Eagle Mode!

He took the attack?!

I'm taking back the hostage.

C-Crap.

Water leakage detected. Injecting rubber into damaged areas.

You lost.

I'm sure you became a hero to get praised...

but give it up.

We're not even in the same league.

I told you we should've escaped!

Don't lump me in with you!

I'm not a hero just for show.

I'm way more tenacious than some phoenix!

Oh, I thought you'd simply give up the fight if your chances were zero.

You're still wet behind the ears.

Sorry, but I'm not gonna waste my time for a fight

if I have no chance of winning.

Putting on a brave face, huh?

Armor, attack power and mobility...

This isn't some joke monster that got stuck in a suit.

He's got incredible specs.

He's even figured out that my robot has almost reached its limit.

But I'm not out of options yet.

Hm? Corpses of the previous inhabitants?

That's perfect.

To thank you for helping me evolve

I'll show you the new abilities of this mode.

What is that? A ray gun?

Eeek! It's blinding!

I call it...

"The Light of the New King's Awakening."

Awakening...?

Z-Z-Zombies?!

Is this some kind of superpower?

This is the immortal phoenix, living up to its name.

According to what the costume has whispered to me

if I push my life energy to its limits, and radiate it outwards

it can somehow trigger pseudo-life activity!

I don't really get it myself.

What the hell?

Oh! Nice moves.

Feels like the fit has improved, hasn't it?

Good. I feel it, I feel it!

Hatred, regret, helplessness...

Let them build up inside me!

I said, you're fired. You got that, Donkan?

In that case, you may not be able

to take that thing off either.

Child Emperor!

Hang on, Waganma!

I'm coming for you now.

Now then, I'll just watch from the sidelines.

Oh, wait.

I feel like a god.

Not even Gyoro-Gyoro nor the Monster King could ever possess such power!

Just in time!

Mere insects, huh? What powerful support.

Transform!

Underground Mole Mode!

Soccer Shoot!

All right!

Your petty tricks.

Ten more seconds.

Warning!

Focusing energy on this attack will place

excessive strain on all systems.

Focus only on the arms and thrusters.

Forget about maintaining the body.

I just need five seconds.

Maximum power!!

Break down the enemy forces on the unit's surface!

Giga Volt Smash!

Combine! Side-Arm Mode!

An Arm...

Now I can shoot...!!

Millennium Emperor Nova!!

You insolent brat! I'll absorb it all!

Let's see if you can!

You can do it! Hold on, Giant!

What the heck is that?

Did a huge excavator pass through or something?

Hm?

Body damage at 96%.

Shutting down all systems.

What...?

Wait, what? The water...

C-Child Emperor, are you alive?!

I greatly underestimated the enemy's strength.

I bet Flash didn't even have time to send a distress signal.

Is everyone really all right?

This is great.

I was starting to get fed up with this damp and dark place.

It seems even the heavens are blessing me as the new king.

You did good for a kid.

Look what you've done to my beloved costume.

That is why I hate kids.

Is it time for me to give up?

Seeing how that didn't work...

You saw Metal Knight, right?

The Monster Association's tech team will now take you and your toy apart

and study them thoroughly.

Don't test my patience.

If you come out quietly, I'll make your death quick and easy.

On second thought, forget it.

I won't forgive you, after all.

Bleh! Fine, backup is coming, so I’m holing up in here.

This protective shell is my masterpiece!

You know about woodpeckers, right?

They peck holes in the body...

and yank out the guts from there.

What the...?

Oh no! Child Emperor!

Did you think hiding in the robot would do the trick?

Talk about pure desperation.

And now, it's time for your punishment...

There's something inside...?!

I can't...take...it off!

W-What's wrong with him?

It's Tickle Bug No. 1.

When I trapped him

I slipped it into his costume through the gap around his face.

It'll crawl inside your clothes and

keep tickling you until you suffocate and die.

Even I think it's a devilish weapon.

Donkan Bird may be thick-headed, but he's super sensitive on the inside.

Why you...!

Just as I thought.

I figured you'd be able to tear that costume off yourself.

Well, I'm glad you were able to take it off.

Oh no... The costume is getting weaker...

Gem Buster Attachment!

Child's Play.

Now! I'll rip it away from where it's come undone.

W-Wait!

Oww... W-What happened?

-Huh? -Huh?

First, the rumbling, and now a leak?

This better not be sewage.

Hm?

What's going on?

We were fighting Flash and now, we're naked?

Where did that bastard go?

How dare he humiliate us? I'll tear him apart.

-Huh? -Huh?

Who's that? A hero?

What's the big idea? We just met, right?

Great. Another freak shows up.

You read our moves. Unforgivable.

Normally, we wouldn't let you live, but...

But we have a prior engagement to kill somebody.

We'll save you for later.

We won't forget...

-your face. -your face.

Why are there perverts underground?

Did you get him?

Yes... The costume's power should be gone now.

He won't reincarnate.

You were having a hard time for a Class-S hero.

I was getting scared.

Come on, get it together.

Yeah...

The enemy was stronger than I expected, so I panicked a little.

Y-You'd better not lose till you get me home safe.

This is Child Emperor.

I've secured Waganma and we're heading to the surface.

Everyone, lure the enemy away, as planned.

Don't be overeager in pursuing them.

The enemy is dangerous...

This is Zombieman.

Thanks. We couldn't have done it without you.

Let me thank you on everyone's behalf.

Thank you. Be careful, Zombieman.

Oh... I forgot to ask you...

Were you the only one held captive here?

Uh...

Yeah. I think so...

Then let's go.

I'll protect you until we get to the exit.

IMMORTAL BLOODBATH
