Hai!

I sensed you on a secret frequency

and was captivated by your radiance

And seeing you with my million-bit vision

The circuits of my heart

Ah, they're going wild!

The forces of love move me as they will

So I've embraced the mystery

If it's for the sake of the one you love

Why, there's nothing you couldn't do!

Oh, the heartful, heartful mechanic

the slightest movements of a pure heart

The heartful, heartful mechanic

makes true your dream-colored heartbeats

Step Jun, Step Jun, Step Jun!

Your hot desire! Come on, come on, input!

Come Steal Me Away!

Wow, just look at these! I wonder whose bikes these are?

- Hmm? - Huh?

Oh no, it's Hanyu!

I bet they're discussing how they'll beat Zero for good!

I'll go listen in!

Ah! Kichinosuke!

Hello, welcome.

You moron! Were you going to just stand out there in the open?

I have just the thing for this situation.

Hey Mom, do you see that table over there?

I think they need their salt changed...

Then you can bring it over yourself, right?

Oh no, I can't go over there at all...

Don't tell me you made yourself another jack-in-the-box...

No, not at all!

I just put a listening device inside, that's it!

So? Could you, please?

So, you get my drift?

- You better not mess up! - Thank you for waiting...

Now then, please enjoy.

You know where he lives?

Yep.

We're gonna show Zero a real good time over there soon.

Wow, a good time?

Yeah, but... we sure Zero's gonna even bother showin' up?

That's why we're nabbing his girl, it's an offer he can't refuse.

Yeah, that Nonomiya chick, right?

Yep.

Wait... they're talking about me?!

That's the plan...

Hide out on her way home from school, then boom.

We nab her.

After that, all we gotta do is let Zero know...

And then it's time for some good, long, payback.

Looks like you all got it.

Don't mess things up this time!

Thank you very much!

Yahoo!

Yippee! Yahoo!

You heard that, right, Kichinosuke?

You heard the good news!

In order to lure out Zero, they're going to kidnap me...

Why does that make you happy?!

Does not compute! Does not compute!

You're a complete idiot! You really don't get it?

Does not compute!

Okay, in other words...

Hanyu and his gang believe that I'm the most important person of all to Zero!

Most important person...?

That's right...

So, in other words...

Like I'm Zero's girlfriend!

Oh, how silly!

Does not compute...

Oh...

Just think, thanks to Hanyu, tomorrow will be...

Zeroooo!

Shut it! Stop screamin' already!

Ah! It's Zero!

Kept you waitin', huh, Hanyu.

Beat his ass!

You piece of...!

Justice prevails!

Zero...!

I trust you're unharmed?

Zerooooo!

Ugh, stop! I'm not Zero!

Oh, if only tomorrow could come sooner...

Yeah, about that...

Oh?!

What's the problem?

No problem at all!

Really, now?

If you have something to say, just say it!

I don't wanna! You're gonna get mad at me.

So you'd prefer to end up as scrap, then?

Wagh! Danger! Danger detected!

So? Are you willing to talk, yet?

Okay, fine, I will...

So, the thing is...

The thing is?

The thing is, what if Zero doesn't come to save you?

Oops, I said it.

Wait, Zero...

Zero might not come to save me?

C-Could it be possible...?

Phew...

Dodged a bullet.

Ah, hello?

Kanou residence speaking!

Zero, the phone is for you.

Who'm I talkin' to?

Hello...

It's me.

Oh...

Well...

I'd much prefer if you didn't laugh, but...

Uh... Sure, go ahead.

I'm... going to be kidnapped...

You got kidnapped?!

Y-You know where you are?

Oh no, you're mistaken. I'll be kidnapped tomorrow.

Uh...

So, in case that ends up happening...

You'll come to rescue me, right...?

- Sheesh... - Sheesh...

Ah, so that's what's goin' on. Sure, I'd rescue ya.

I'd be there in a flash.

Yay! Thank you so much!

I'll be waiting for you at the harbor tomorrow, okay?

What the heck...?

Welcome to your new home.

La, lalala la la la la...

My little Kichinosuke!

Eep.

She caught me!!!

What are you so stressed out about?

I was just thinking I should give you some fresh oil!

And then I'll give your body a good old sparkling shine!

...This feels gross.

Come here, my little Kichinosuke!

S-Sure thing...!

So, now then...

I'll need a toothbrush, and a towel...

Oh yes, I'm sure I'll get bored of being kidnapped eventually,

so I better bring a deck of cards!

Wow, it's like you're going on a field trip.

Oh no, this is going to be much more fun than some old field trip!

Because you see, all thanks to Hanyu's plan,

I'll know for sure that Zero loves me after all!

Ah, I see.

Okay, then...

Time to put in some more work!

What the heck? Jun!

Where you goin' in that outfit?!

Okay, so if I just do this...

And move this here...

My dear Kichinosuke, would you mind coming closer?

What are you even doing?

If Zero's going to come rescue me, I should at least pitch in, right?

Yeah, IF he's coming to rescue you...

Of course he'll come!

I heard it straight from Zero's mouth!

Ah, good morning, Mako and Toko!

Good morning, Jun!

Hey, where's Kichinosuke?

Well, I'll be home later than usual today, so I didn't bring him.

Oh? You'll be home later? Are you going to see a movie?

No, not quite...

I'm starring in a movie, if anything...

Huh? Starring?

And a wonderful hero will be coming to rescue me...

What the heck's going on?

I'll let you know if it goes off without a hitch!

Well, good morning!

Huh?

You're aware you'll be late if you don't hurry?

Ah, good morning!

I don't have the slightest idea why, but you do seem quite chipper today...

Yeah! Something wonderful is going to happen after school!

I see!

I suppose you found a bakery with delicious cakes?

Enjoy yourself.

Careful you don't fall off your high horse, now...

You're telling me...

Come now, Yoko really is wonderful!

- Huh? - Huh?

Are you sure you should say that?

She's your rival, after all!

Oh, I think a victor's been decided.

Wait, Jun, hold on!

She's gonna be coming through here, right?

Yep, and she's always by herself.

All right, sorry about this, but I need to be on my way!

Well, good luck with whatever's supposed to be going on...

Yo! That lunch you gave me sure hit the spot!

Can't wait for the next one!

Okay!

I'll bring you one tomorrow as well!

Whoa, really?

Huh... how about that!

See ya later!

Ah...

B-Bye bye! See you later!

Well, look at who's acting all friendly...

Hmmph!

Bye bye!

- Huh? - Huh?

I wonder where Hanyu and his cronies are hiding?

Sheesh...

Where the heck are they, anyway?

Keep your mouth shut!

Think we should have ourselves a fun group date.

Sound good?

Don't worry that pretty head of yours...

You aren't who we're really after,

Zero's the one we want.

For pete's sake!

I've been stood up by kidnappers!

What a disgrace to the world of hoodlums!

Hmmph!

Next time I see those jerks, I'm giving them a piece of my mind!

Do you think you'll actually get away with this?

Relax, won't be much longer...

Zero's gonna be here any second to rescue you.

You pathetic coward!

Oh, you think so, huh?

You wanna talk cowards, look at Zero.

He's the one talkin' the talk but not walkin' the walk.

Hmmph!

Zero has no interest in bullying weaklings!

What'd you say?!

Fine, whatever.

You're gonna see who's stronger once the dust settles.

Yeah, hello, Kanou residence.

Who's callin'?

We have Nonomiya.

W-Wait, what?

The dock. Warehouse G25. Hanyu can't wait to see you.

...Hey, what the hell's goin' on?

Put Hanyu on!

Headin' out for a bit!

Oh, Zero! Where are you heading off to?

Down to the harbor.

You be careful, now...

Hehe, went perfect.

"And then, Urashima Tarou arrived on the scene..."

"...and witnessed a bunch of children bullying a poor turtle,"

"which he then promptly saved."

Could you please shut up?!

How long are you going to keep reading that children's book?

I can't read kanji, so I can't read anything else.

Well, in that case, fine,

but could you just read to yourself?

I'd like some quiet.

...Jun.

Jun, are you mad?

It really must be nice...

To be as carefree as you, Kichinosuke.

Zero's coming!!!

Oh, Kichinosuke, it's fine...

You really don't need to cheer me up.

But I'm telling the truth!

Huh?

Ah!

Zero!

J-Jun! Wait, you didn't get kidnapped?

Well, that was the plan, but...

I guess things got messed up along the way!

In any case, come on in!

I'll treat you to dinner!

Okay!

Don't give me that crap!

You said he flew outta there in a rage!

So then why the hell isn't he here yet? Huh?!

Y-Yeah, but I could swear he was on his bike, headin' to the harbor...

You gave him the name of his chick, right?

Yeah! I said, "We got Nonomiya!"

Wait, Nonomiya?

H-Hey, you ain't Yoko Nonomiya?

I'm Yoko Mizuno!

Hmmph! How dare you confuse for that shrimp!

Wait, shrimp...? That's...

Yeah, that chick who makes those weird-ass robots.

What?!

You dumbass!!!

H-Hey, doesn't her face scream that she's a Nonomiya?!

You goddamn idiot! Clean up this mess!

Get on that phone and make some calls!

Y-Yeah, sure...

Sheesh, just how rude can you get?

They didn't even kidnap me!

Yeah, those scrubs would pull a stunt like this.

They hoped you'd rush to the harbor, and then rough you up big time.

Yep! And that's why I wanted to see if they were pullin' a fast one.

Hmm, needs salt...

Oh, not that one!

What the heck?

I'm a genius.

How 'bout that?

You stuck a wireless mic in this thing?

Yep, and no one could ever guess!

Heh, you got lots of tricks up your sleeve.

When I heard they were going to kidnap me, my heart was aflutter!

The thing is, you don't need me ridin' in to save you, right?

Huh? But why?

What, you don't know?

That robot of yours ain't nothin' to sneeze at!

Oh, Kichinosuke? Goodness, not in a million years!

I can't rely on him for anything!

He's just much too carefree!

It'd be all up to you, Zero!

I guess so, huh!

I'm starting to get really ticked off...!!!

I'm ULTRA ticked off!!!

You've unleashed the beast now!

Goodness, you keep asking where he went,

but that boy hasn't said where he's going since the age of 3!

Well, at any rate, why don't you come on over?

We could enjoy a cup of tea!

Oh?

Hello?

Hello? Hello!

Well, how about that...

Hello!!!

Hello? Hello?

Was that punk Zero there?

Nope, just his Granny playin' dumb.

Where the hell did he run off to?

Who the hell knows.

Huh?

Th-The hell is that?

Huh?

Ah, there you are!

Huh? Wait, that's the robot of that shrimp!

Well, good evening, sirs!

Agh!

B-Back off! We don't got time to play with you right now!

I wanna join your gang of bad guys!

...Huh?

"Bad guy"?! Who the hell you callin' a bad guy?!

Hey man, chill out, don't pick a fight with a robot.

Anyway, you ever hear of Zero?

Oh, I might've heard of Zero.

Huh? Then where the hell is he?

All right, I couldn't eat another bite!

You have a big stomach like always...

They're also making us some sandwiches for a late-night snack!

Really? Thanks a bunch!

Excuse me, we just received a phone call for Rei Kanou.

- For me? - It must be your grandmother!

Well, it actually sounded like that robot of yours, Jun.

Kichinosuke?!

Yo, Zero!

You listen good!

We got Yoko Mizuno tied up at our warehouse!

Wait, Yoko?

Sure ya didn't get mixed up?

Here! Give me the phone!

Hello, Kichinosuke? Where are you right now?

Buzz off, you stupid chick!

Kichinosuke!

Kichinosuke!!!

Hehe, I did it.

So the girl Hanyu and his gang were trying to kidnap was Yoko!

H-He's comin'!

That punk was off havin' dinner at a restaurant!

H-Having dinner?!

Damn bastard's taking us lightly...

All right, the second he's in here, drop the shutter!

Got it?

- Yeah! - Yeah!

Hmmph.

Heh, this time we're gonna grind you into a fine paste.

Zero!!!

Jun, I need you to go untie Yoko.

Okay!

It's all right, Yoko, we're here!

Wait, Kichinosuke? What on earth are you doing here?

I'm the new junior bad guy!

Ah!

Kichinosuke! Go turn the lights back on!

You got it!

Eat this!

Look at you, caught in our trap.

That's nothing but a dead end!

Oh no, this is awful!

Dammit, right where they want me...

Looks like we're ending it for real, Zero!

Yep, gotta feeling that's comin' quick, too.

Smash 'im!

Zero! Zero!!!

Press the red button!

The red button on the handlebar!

- Looks like we got 'im, boys! - Hell yeah!

We got ourselves, too!!!

What the hell?!

Holy crap, this is awesome!

See ya later! Don't catch cold, now!

You won't get away with this!!!

Yahoo!

A huge success!

Zero!

Zero, thank goodness...

I was so scared...

Yeah. Makes sense.

Aw, that was the role I was supposed to play...

And aren't you a dummy?

Well, let's go home.

Hey! I bet you'll be kidnapped next time, for sure!

You keep your flattery to yourself!

You got it.

Jun...

...thank you.

We're at the amusement park

On a date, eating ice cream

My crocodile tears are shining

in the illumination of the shuttle loop

But because of his warm kindness

I flash my practiced smile

But it's all a dream, isn't it?

Brought to you by MaruChanSubs!

It's the new semester, and another home visit from Sensei!

I wanted to keep things low-key,

but Kichinosuke can't stop acting foolish,

and the whole school is in an uproar!

Ohata Sensei is furious,

and he yelled that I can't bring Kichinosuke to school anymore!

Zero, do something about this, please!

Hai! Step Jun!

"Hang in There, Kichinosuke!" The Heartful Mechanic!

Hang in There, Kichinosuke!
