People call upon these nine so-called warriors.
However, for the sake of love,
For the sake of the weak who have forgotten how to fight,
Crossing over the tears of bloody waters,
In the midst of dreaming, running through the wilderness, oh yeah !
Cyborg warriors, fight for mankind !
It's no good. I can't outrun them.
Is he dead ?
Yeah. Nothing could've saved him.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have the letter on him.
Look even harder for it !
Oh my, an accident !
Are you all right ?!
This isn't good. We're getting out of here !

Breathing patterns -- normal.
Brain wave activity -- normal.
Thank you for your trouble, Albert.
You'll be fine for another two years.
Even though it's the same procedure as always, I never seem to feel any better.
At present, I can't manufacture a more durable alloy even with all the knowledge I possess.
Since your whole body is an arsenal of weapons,
Even something this small...
...must constantly withstand the belligerent conditions you put it through.
Yeah, yeah...
Oh, stop grumbling !
Even though everyone has different limitations and abilities, we're all practically the same.
Yeah, I know that.
But this isn't the time to be reminded of that sort of thing --
Things such as knowing that you yourself are nothing but a good-for-nothing android.
Professor Gilmore, you have an international phone call from the Federal Police of Germany.
A letter was found addressed to you inside a fountain pen...
...that was discovered in the wreckage of the vehicle.
I'm sorry to trouble you, but could you please fax this message over to me ?
"Please pass this information over to Professor Gilmore.
"The secret behind Wagnium lies in the hands of my daughter, Lenna...
"...who resides inside an old castle near the town of Düsseldorf."
Reinhardt...
I thought he died a long time ago, but...
Professor, what is this thing called "Wagnium" ?
Thirty years ago, Reinhardt and I were doing research on a unique organic metal.
It was a new metal alloy used in the development of cyborgs.
Around the start of the Second World War,
Reinhardt and I were taken captive by the Nazis...
...and we were forced to work under some very extreme conditions in an underground laboratory.
The pretext of the research was to develop man-made organs...
...and artificial limbs for medical purposes.
But one day, I made a rather astonishing discovery...
What ?! "Operation Super Man ?!"
That's right, and it's an awfully dreadful thing indeed !
It's an idea only Hitler could conceive of !
He intends to create an entire army of humans reconstructed into the ultimate killing machines !
How could he do such a thing ?!
Reinhardt, let's flee !
We should no longer utilize our skills for the benefit of evil !
But I have a fiancée.
If I were to flee, my fiancée will be...
Just then, the Allied forces bombed the surrounding area...
Engulfed in darkness, I managed to escape.
That was the last time I ever saw Professor Reinhardt.
After the war, I searched arduously for his whereabouts,
...but it was hopeless.
If he has a daughter, then that means he must have found his fiancée.
And then, he may have finally completed his research shortly thereafter.
Anyway, let's head off to Germany and see if we can get in touch with his daughter.
Several days later, up in the mountains of Germany, we witness the guise of 004.
Germany is his homeland,
...and he has a keen interest in the new metal alloy that Professor Reinhardt completed.
I'd like to ask you about a castle that's in this region.
There is a girl named Lenna living there.
Well, I... er... that is...
Hey, buddy !
We can show you how to get there if you want.
Oh, I would really appreciate that.
And, what business do you have up there ?
It's absolutely no concern of yours.
You never know, it might be if you tell us.
That's right.
We're giving you directions for nothing out of our own free will.
It's only proper etiquette to tell us, you know.
I must make sure I don't reveal my identity for the time being.
Oh well, I might as well let matters take their course.
Hey buddy, you might as well tell us everything, okay !
I'd rather tell her directly in person.
What ?!
Alley-oop !
Take this !
There ! Had enough ?
Well then...
D'ya wanna start talkin', or...?
Stop ! Stop !
Take your foot of him !
Sure.
My, how awful !
Please, pull yourself together !
I'll be all right.
My, thank goodness...!
My name is Albert.
You must be Lenna, if I'm not mistaken.
Yes, I'm Lenna.
Miss Lenna, those ruffians who have been following us since we left -- do you know them ?
They are servants of the castle.
They're nothing but a group of thugs, but my uncle isn't the sort of person who likes to argue.
Your "uncle" ?
He's the owner of the castle.
I wonder if Lenna's even aware that her father, Professor Reinhardt, is dead ?
C y b o r g
Cyborg warriors, fight for mankind !

Uncle Tomas, the servants were harassing this poor gentleman !
Oh dear, please accept my most humblest apologies on their behalf.
They were children who had lost all their relatives in the war, and I took the liberty to raise them...
...but unfortunately, it turns out that I had brought them all up to be brutes.
Rest assured, master.
I shall severely reprimand them for their actions.
Ah, yes ! Very good, very good.
This gentleman you see here is Karl, my butler.
He's the only one of my servants Lenna trusts.
Lenna's mother died at an early age,
...and after the war, her father was always at work in a top-secret underground organization.
Concerned about Lenna's upbringing, he turned to me and left her under my tutelage.
This happened about five years ago.
By the way, you mentioned that you arrived here from Japan, didn't you ?
Yes. There were some matters I needed to discuss with miss Lenna...
And, may I ask what it is you need to talk to her about ?
Several days ago, her father, Professor Reinhardt, had passed away.
Get ahold of yourself, Lenna !
How dreadful...
How did you come to know about this ?
I just happened to have stumbled across it.
But aside from that, where is Lenna's room ?
Allow me to escort you there.
Have you come to your senses yet ?
I'm terribly sorry, Albert.
I knew it all along; I had a feeling something dreadful was going to happen the moment we met.
You came here on behalf of a gentleman by the name of Professor Issac Gilmore, haven't you ?
W - Why yes I have, but...
My father instructed me to disclose all his secrets to him when he comes to see me.
Will you tell them to us ?
Yes, but I can't reveal them to you now.
I - I'm afraid to...
Until such time, just rest and sleep peacefully.
Who would have ever imagined that Lenna was the one in possession of those secrets ?
Well then, that makes everything much easier. All we have to do is force them out of her.
There's no need to use violence in this matter.
Sooner or later, she's going to blurt everything out to that man.
We've been waiting several decades for this, so we don't need to rush things.
004 was admitted as a guest of the castle, and several days have gone by since.
Uncle, we're going !
Do be careful !
I planted a few bugs underneath their saddles,
So no matter where they are, I'll be able to eavesdrop in on every one of their conversations.
Albert, let's have a race !
All right, but I'm not about to lose !
This is the first time I've ever had so much fun !
Yes, same here !
Albert, there's a fence up ahead, so please be careful !
A fence ? That's nothing !
Albert !
Albert, are you all right ?
Y - Yes, I'm fine...
...but I'm caught in between the branches.
Sheesh. I'm had !
You haven't been injured, have you ?
No, but even if I had, I'd be all right.
Besides, all I did was fall off a horse.
Well, I'm glad to see that you aren't hurt.
Now come on, we've got to get you out of there.
Thank you, Lenna.
Albert...
Lenna... I'm the sort of person who's not qualified to be loved by anyone,
...nor am I qualified to love anybody either.
Lenna...
I came here to see you only to learn about the results of Professor Reinhardt's research.
Please Albert, don't say such things.
Very well.
I will reveal the secrets of my father's research to you.
The secrets behind Wagnium is right here, inside my body.
My entire body is made of Wagnium !
Lenna !
I didn't want you of all people to know that !
Lenna...
Did you hear that, master ?
I never would have thought those secrets would be planted inside her body !
We no longer have any need for that man anymore.
Eliminate him.
Damn it !
Am I not a human being ?! Do I even possess a heart inside my body ?!
Why did I have to break Lenna's heart like that ?!
Lenna !
Lenna, what's the matter ?
Uncle, I...
I...
Uncle...!
Dear Lenna, you poor thing...
You poor, poor thing...
Why couldn't I have told her that I loved her ?!
He's a monster !!
Lenna, even I...
...even I want to become human again !
I never wanted to become a cyborg either !
What's this ?!
I - I have some secrets I'm not supposed to tell anyone.
They're the secrets behind Professor Reinhardt's research, aren't they ?
You knew about them ?
I too have been searching rather extensively for the secrets of Wagnium.
Drat ! I can't topple it !
Now !
Uncle, why ? Why are you doing this ?
I'm glad you asked.
I've been wanting those secrets Reinhardt infused inside you in order to create a whole new nation !
At long last, that day has arrived !
Please stop this foolishness.
Please uncle, stop !
Save me, Albert !
Shoot him, shoot him !
Hail, Hitler !
Lenna !
Lenna !!
Oh ! What a splendid structural main frame you have !
Is this what my body looks like ? It can't be...
Lenna, I'm going to utilize your body to bring eternal life back into the Führer !
Hail, Hitler !
Oh Führer, rejoice !
Right this very moment, I am going to restore you back to life once and for all !
Stop, you fiendish brute !
W - Who dares ?!
This is impermissible !
You ?! So you're alive, eh ?!
Lenna, I'm coming to save you !
Lenna !
Albert...!
I'll kill them !
Lenna, take cover !
I'll kill them for sure !
Damn you ! This will put an end to you two once and for all !
Once the clock's hand has made a full revolution,
This whole castle will be blown to pieces !
So you're going to stay here after all, Lenna.
I'm going to build an orphanage on the remains of the castle...
...and I'll take care of lots and lots of children.
That might be for the better.
Well, there goes the whistle. Farewell, Lenna.
I'm sorry that the results of my father's research weren't of much use to you at all.
That's all right.
Goodbye, Albert.
Albert...
Goodbye, Albert...
I love you...

I dream of my homeland.
To be close to the warmth of my mother,
I wish to go back someday.
While taking a drive through his old south town neighbourhood...
...009 comes across a young man with the same look in his eyes as he did when he was younger.
With a soul filled with violence and lonliness,
This young man's eyes craved recklessness instead of love.
This young man is a boxer with dreams of becoming the champion of the squared circle.
Apparently the voice of evil has been whispering sweet temptations into the young man's ears.

He is envious of those travelers who have a desired destination.
With those thoughts in mind, he gazes upon the flow of the crowd.
This is the final call for all passengers going on board the ship.
We will be departing momentarily.
Well, I'd better be going.
Have a safe trip, Kyuusaku.
Give me a call when you get there, okay ?
Will do, bro' !
Mummy, hurry !
Yes, dear.
Takeshi...
I'm leaving now.
Goodbye.
Are you all right ?!
You haven't been injured, have you ?
Are you okay there ?
It's nothing.
By the way, are you going into town ?
Yeah.
I can offer you a lift, if you'd like.
I too just happen to be headed towards town myself.
Well, by all means, I'm not forcing you or anything...
Oh. I get it now.
Eh ? What do you mean ?
You're using this machine to bump into complete strangers so you can brag about yourself, right ?
Well, those aren't my intentions at all...
Aw, who cares ? It's a long way to go on foot, and I don't have any money to hail a cab.
The way he glared at me back then...
I wonder what he does for a living ?
Could he be a sports athlete ?
Just who the heck is this guy anyway ?
Compared to me, he's not that much older than I am,
...yet he gets to drive around in such a fancy car like this.
I'm Shimamura Joe, a race car driver. Nice to meet you.
I'm Hayami Takeshi, a boxer.
What ? You mean to say that you're the rookie who's won ten matches in a row by knock-out ?!
By Jove, that's amazing !
Next up is your rookie of the year match, right ?
Yep, my opponent's got the same number of successive K.O. wins as I do.
So, do you feel confident about beating him ?
Well, since the beginning, I've had no intentions of losing to anyone whatsoever.
That's it ! That's the spirit !
I bet your girlfriend's glad to hear that !
My girlfriend ? Oh yeah, my "girlfriend."
I had one a short while ago.
Was she the girl that went on the ferry ?
What ? So you were spying on us !
No, I wasn't spying on you...
Come on !
Tell me the truth !
I had a hunch that there was something funny about you !
You let me ride around in your fancy car...
...'cause you're some middle man who's been trying to get close to me !
You were probably sent out by the Jumonji Hospital to keep a close eye out on me !
Jumonji Hospital ?
Tell this to the hospital's chief director :
Tell him that I'll be more than happy to go through with the operation !
He looks just like me...
He looks exactly like I did back then...
We're not through with you yet !
Over all ready...
...Shimamura Joe ?
Why are you always messing with me...?
It's those eyes of yours ! I don't like the way they look at me !
Even though we keep giving you a good thrashing...
They still look as though they're craving for more !
Have you ever taken a good look at your own eyes before, Shimamura Joe ?
Your eyes... Have you ever taken a good look at them ?!
It's my eyes !
They're the eyes I had back then !
Shimamura Joe -- aggressive and rebellious.
An utter failure during his school years.
A confirmed criminal since childhood.
And so, these unidentified men took this boy nobody could ever get their hands on...
...and drafted him into the Black Ghost, an organization shrouded by darkness...
...which takes delight in committing acts of destruction and genocide.
This organization shuns peace and embraces war,
...and their ambition is to someday leave the Earth...
...to promote war into the remote areas of outer space.
The Black Ghost developed the cyborg warriors in order to achieve that purpose.
What is this place ?
And why on earth am I dressed like this ?!
Just where the heck am I ? Where ?!
What the hell is going on here ?!
What the hell happened to my body ?
And what's more, where in blazes am I anyway ?!
Where is this place ?!
Damn it ! What the hell is going on here ?!
Now I'm really getting desperate !
Have you regained consciousness, 009 ?
It's a pleasure to have you with us, 009.
"009 ?"
You are 009.
You have completed your cybernetic survival tests.
You are now one of us -- a warrior of the highest calibre.
W - Who in blazes is talking to me ?!
I am, Joe, or should I say, 009 ?
I am Ivan Whiskey, also known as 001.
The baby...?!
What's the meaning of all this ?! I demand an explanation !
Very well.
I am Doctor Arthur D. Kent, chairman of the Black Ghost's weapon's research division.
This is my associate, Professor Issac Gilmore.
The Black Ghost...
The Black Ghost, you say ?
You probably haven't heard of it before, but it is a huge organization operating in the underworld,
...and it is the founding father of you cyborgs.
And it's our most despised enemy !
W - What ?! Have you all gone mad ?!
You're the one who's bloody mad !
After constantly being treated as though we aren't human...
...we've all decided to break away !
Don't be absurd ! Do you honestly think that you can get away from us ?!
We most certainly do !
Professor Gilmore, get over here !
We are taking Professor Gilmore as our hostage...
...just as a precaution in case you make an attempt to kill us all off !
We have an escape vessel prepared and ready to go.
Come, 009. You are to come along with us.
Sure...
W - Wait ! You can't go !
I won't allow you to go !
Don't worry, it's only an anaesthetic.
I just put him to sleep for a little while.
B - But...!
Joe, please. You mustn't let the Black Ghost deceive you.
You are one of us now.
Come now, hurry. There isn't much time left to lose.
Joe...?!
Joe !
W - Wait for me !

Wait for me !
Take this plane, 009.
I - In this ?!
We haven't much time, 009. You must hurry.
What is this ?!
That's odd; I've never even seen this machine before, yet I know how to operate it !
That's right, 009.
You do know how to operate it.
You're...!
Listen to what I have to say.
You see, 009...
...I'm the one who's fully responsible for the Black Ghost's human reconstruction project team.
You're still young, and you have a future ahead of you, 009.
Do you understand, Joe ?
If you don't understand that now, then that's all right.
But don't you want to make amends for your sins ?
S - Sins ?
Yes ! Don't you want to make amends for them ?
Professor, that's enough for now.
A squadron of fighter jets is approaching us straight ahead.
Six...
Seven...
Eight...
009, prepare yourself !
"Prepare myself ?" What do you mean ?
Here they come ! One's headed directly for you !
009, do you read me ?
009, do you read me ?!
All units, prepare for battle.
Go !
He's pretty good out there.
Oops, that was close !
Don't let your guard down, fellahs !
You said it !
Crikey ! I've been surrounded !
Aiyaa ! 009 is doing quite well out there !
W - What's going on ? It's as though my hands are moving by themselves !
That's because you underwent extensive hypnopedia therapy.
"Hypnopedia therapy ?"
That's right, 009. While you were in suspended animation...
...we practically programmed every known combatant tactic into you...
...right before your very eyes.
What ? Right before my very eyes ?
Tsk ! You again ?
You're starting to get on my nerves !
I apologize for bothering you in the middle of your training session,
...but I'd like to have a word with you.
So what d'ya wanna talk to me about ? Make it snappy, willya.
Earlier, you mentioned something about Jumonji Hospital, didn't you ?
Are you going undergo some sort of surgical procedure at that hospital ?
Hmph ! You already know that I am !
Why are you asking me this of all things ?
I would be better if you didn't go through with the operation.
Now those are some pretty serious things you just said.
You probably know just what kind of an operation it is, don't you ?
Yeah, I sure do.
That's why I'm here to advise you against it. You really shouldn't go through with it.
Well I want to be strong !
I wanna keep getting stronger and stronger...
...so I can make everyone who humiliated me think twice about me !
You don't understand !
They're going to turn you into a cyborg, just like they did to me !
Don't ! Don't become a cyborg !
Why not ?! Why can't I become a cyborg ?!
Even though your girlfriend went back to her hometown,
...you don't want to disclose the fact that you've become a cyborg to her !
Cut it out ! Stop it, willya !
No, I won't stop !
Do you have any idea what it means...
...to literally turn into a machine just so you can become a lot stronger ?!
Furthermore, don't you even realize just how much you're going to lose because of it ?!
Knock it off !
I've had just about enough of your crap, you son of a bitch !
You don't even know what the hell I've had to go through !
You get to drive around in that fancy vehicle of yours !
What are you, some kind of spoiled rich kid or something ?!
I may be a spoiled rich kid, but whatever you do, don't turn into a cyborg !
If you want to know why, I'll --
Hold it right there !
D - Doctor Arthur D. Kent ?!
It's been quite a while, hasn't it 009 ?
It's been decided that you shall no longer be allowed to live anymore !
You fiend ! You're the one who's going to die !
You've already caused me more than enough pain and suffering as it is !
My, those are rather brazen words there, 009.
Look here, Takeshi...
You must never become a cyborg !
If you want to know why...
...it's because I am a cyborg !!
009, does this mean that you intend to fight me ?
That's right, you minion of the Black Ghost !
For as long as evil is ever present on this world, we will never stop fighting !
Hmph ! Don't be ridiculous !
Do you honestly think that you could ever possibly defeat me ?
Take this !
Joe ?
Joe, where are you ?
What's the matter, 009 ?
Has all your energy been depleted all ready ?
Damn...!
So, should I strangle you to death, or perhaps you would prefer me to burn you to death ?
Damn it ! I'm not about to let him defeat me like this !
The river ? Okay...!
Joe !
Don't underestimate the power of the Black Ghost !
I'll defeat you for sure, even if I have to follow you into the depths of hell !
Mark my words, I'll keep fighting you for as long as I shall live !
Joe...?
Look out !!
That's the end of a cyborg -- something that you wanted to turn into.
Takeshi...
Takeshi ?
Y - You're a machine...!
What right have you got to tell people what to do ?
Wait ! Please wait !
Get away from me, you cyborg !
Why, you're just a monster made for fighting !
Who are you to talk when you're a threat yourself ?!
I'm still human ! An honest-to-goodness human being !
Damn it !
I'm a human being !!
I'm a monster made for fighting, eh ?
But who am I to fight ?
If these hands of mine must fight, then who... who am I supposed to fight ?!!
And now, we're at the last round of the match that will decide who the next rookie of the year will be.
The two competitors are evenly matched, and neither one of them is ready to give in.
Only three more minutes remain, and no matter who wins, this match has truly been a terrific one.
Hang in there, Takeshi !
You must fight with all your might !
Your own might !
Joe ?
Joe !
Joe...?
Joe...
Takeshi ?
Shiyo !
Takeshi...!
What are you doing here ?
That man over there, he...
Joe...
Joe, where have you gone ?!
Joe !!!
You've done well, Takeshi.
Please be happy, just for me.
Meeting people is an integral part of human life.
But so is parting with them...
