Run, run!

What are you hiding?

Let us see!

Help!

Momo!

Peace!

- Let's go. - Yes.

I'll get even for this.

Did he hurt you?

Thank you.

What for? Don't worry.

Nothing frightens me.

As a sign of thanks I'll give you this.

- What is it? - It's a time machine.

- Thank you. - Don't you want to try it?

- It must be fast, right? - It goes "beep, boop beep".

Nothing frightens me.

There it is!

Where are you?

Momo!

THE STORY OF THE ELECTRICITY POLE BOY

I can smell her here.

Who is it?

She's alive, Professor Sariba.

Get her!

I don't know why, but first I'll say I'm sorry.

- There they are! - What is that on your back?

Where are we?

Ochida!

Hikari, destroy them!

I don't know how.

I'm sorry!

It's too stinky!

I've decided!

Let's get Adam Special working here, okay?

This is interesting.

I was waiting for you.

I knew you'd arrive...

with your electricity pole.

Excuse me, but where are we?

Where have I ended up?

25 years have gone by since your times.

25 years?

10 years ago, the Shinsegumi vampire gang rose from the earth,

and their Adam Junior Bomb covered the sky with black clouds.

The school where I taught was destroyed.

The reign of darkness began.

Humans have been reduced to animals, that run in the streets by night.

But the Adam Junior Bomb has space-time limits.

So they are rushing to develop another weapon.

It seems it's a maxi-attack space rocket,

more powerful than the Adam Junior.

Do you understand, Hikari? You have to fight.

- What? - Only you can do it.

You have to stop the production of the secret weapon.

- Goodbye! - I know.

You need me.

I also know that if you fight with all your might,

you will have help from the pole you carry on your back.

Yes, your electricity pole.

You actually saved my life earlier.

You can't say it was me that saved your life.

Thank you so much.

I'll repay you.

There you go.

Hikari, it looks wonderful on you.

- Not yet! - Will it really work?

Naturally. The machine needs the energy...

emitted by human bodies...

during their growth.

The machine is growing.

When this woman is mature, the machine will be mature too.

But when will she be mature? Woman mature at age 14 or 15!

She could be a waste of time!

Do you have time to wait for another child to grow?

No! We don't have time!

I know!

I know we're late with the project,

and there aren't many Adam Juniors left.

The important thing is to wait and have faith.

You just have to wait for completion of the Adam Special,

the super-secret weapon!

An enormous black cloud will cover the sky.

This time it will be an indestructible black cloud. No more sun!

A world of darkness will come and we will be immortal!

Soon our dream of eternal life will come true.

At the right moment I'll suck your blood.

At that point, my eternal beauty,

you will create eternal darkness.

You will be named Eva!

Hurry up and become a woman!

We must destroy the Shinsengumi's new secret weapon!

Hikari!

You're our only hope.

Come on!

You're the only one that can destroy the Shinsengumi!

You're the only one.

My love.

Is it true that this boy's electricity pole...

can save us from darkness?

Is it true, my dear?

It feels like we're going to see a ghost.

What is it?

It looks like a sacrificial victim. We have to save her.

Stop!

Come out!

Come out and fight!

It's useless to fight me.

Hello.

You deserve this!

Eva will die, if you break her connection with Adam bomb.

Go ahead, if you dare. What are you waiting for?

Come on!

- Professor! - Is this something important to you?

Kyabian...

Do you want some?

Good hit! Come on!

Hikari, your shining light!

Show me the power of your electric light pole.

Hikari, you have to use your power!

Sorr...

Sorry...

I'm sorry!

What is it?

Why?

You can't win, fool!

Blood from an old woman and a handicapped person is no good.

Let's get out of here!

- Eva? - I sucked her blood.

Now she'll live for ever.

She'll be eternally beautiful.

It's the Professor's photo album.

The Professor was quite beautiful.

Very pretty.

She was attractive.

"Me at age 25."

"Me at age 22."

"At age 20."

"At age 18."

I'm old now, right?

When I was young my husband always said,

that the world would be covered by a thick layer of clouds.

He also told me not to be discouraged,

because you would come to help us.

Excuse me, I wasn't a big help.

I'm sorry.

I made you work hard.

Please forgive me.

Where is your husband now?

He flew away.

He flew away?

When the Shinsengumi launched the first Adam Junior Bomb,

he told me...

there was something he had to do.

He left, still watching me,

while I cried in the rain of ashes from the clouds.

And he flew away.

And he disappeared in an enormous whirlwind in the sky.

What?

I'm sorry, is there something on my face?

My love!

Once again, the clouds...

let the red light of sunset through.

It's such a wonderful memory!

Unfortunately, this could be the last sunset on Earth.

Goodbye, sunlight.

Goodbye...

forever.

The Adam Juniors are used up.

But we won't let the sun shine.

We have to start using the Adam Special tonight.

My love!

How do you feel?

Who is that?

Listen to your conscience. It was me that brought you here.

Then...

Then you're a slave of the time machine.

Okay, I don't care, call me what you want.

I'm really the ex-electricity pole boy!

What happens is, every time an era ends,

there's an electricity pole boy.

It's the electricity pole boy that saves the world,

by turning on a light at the end of every era,

and joining that era to the next one.

It's his destiny.

In other words, he's a hero that saves history!

A hero?

I lit the light at the end of Edo era, but I couldn't find a successor.

I was upset, and travelled back and forth in time.

Now 25 years have passed.

But how can such a weak person as you save history?

Damn it!

Come on!

Get up and fight, electricity pole boy!

If you don't fight, the world will remain in darkness.

For eternity!

Come on, day is coming! Isn't it ready yet?

I don't know why, but the machine's not working.

Eva...

Did Eva really have her first menstruation?

You saw that red blood too, didn't you?

Isn't it the blood from you violating Eva when she was still a virgin?

What are you saying!

Tell me the truth!

Hurry up!

- Hurry up and get Adam working! - No, it's not ready yet!

If you don't hurry up, our bodies will turn to ashes!

Eva is dying!

Ochida!

I have to join them! I'll join Adam and Eve!

Here's your partner, Eva!

Go, Adam Special!

Make darkness come!

Professor, be careful!

Help!

Professor!

Professor!

Momo?

"Me at age 15."

This is Momo.

It says "Sariba"!

It's Momo's last name!

The Professor...

was Momo!

She was full of life.

Momo was so full of life!

I didn't think she would die like this!

I didn't save her.

I didn't save Momo!

Professor Sariba...

I'm sorry!

Impossible!

It's not time yet!

Eva!

I'm sorry.

Thank you for connecting the light to the electricity pole,

electricity pole boy!

If you hadn't been able to turn on the light,

the darkness would have erased the world and all history!

You really did well!

The light that I turned on is about to go out,

because it can light only one era.

Now it's your turn.

You have to travel in time and search for the new electricity pole boy.

When he has turned on a new light, your duty will be done!

The light of one era will go out, and another will turn on immediately.

Light is beautiful!

The story of the world goes on!

We have to make it go on!

The story continues!

We have to make it go on!

They told me a lot about you.

I was there fighting the vampires too.

My mother told the truth.

You saved the world.

Momo?

I'm Momo Sariba's daughter... and yours too.

What happened?

I'd like to know too!

I didn't know you were here, with that thing on your back!

But aren't you Momo?

What happened?

You're Momo, right?

You're strange.

What a character!

History repeats itself.

A difficult time will arrive soon.

Like Professor Sariba said,

and Eva's man said,

when the time comes, I have to attack Eva.

Or the world will be destroyed!

We'll be patient, Momo.

The electricity pole boy will surely come to save you.

It's...

It's sure.

He will come to save you, even if he changes the course of history.

That's the way it has to be!

There's no other way!

Do you have a fever?

I will always see you shining brightly like this,

just like in the photo album.

And I'll take care of you.

Professor Sariba's photo album will always be like new.

Let's go!

- What did you do? - The album is gone.

Take care of yourself.

Of course I will!
