Good point, though...
My bad!
Kaito! Platina just had a prophecy...
What?
Please stop!
What was that? Got a problem?
Go on home now.
Stop it!
Huh?
How about you give us our buddy back?
Kaito.
Shut yer hole!
This punk bumped into us and didn't even apologize.
I oughtta teach him a little common sense!
For a fee, of course.
Yeah, a tuition fee!
Nagare's wallet!
I apologized.
You just didn't hear me...
If you talk so I can't hear you,
you can't call that an apology, can ya?
This scoundrel...
You jerks!
I'm gonna rip you a new one, so brace yourselves!
There it is!
Kaito-kun's "rip you a new one" line!
He's serious to the max, though!
Little brat...
If ya want me to give back your wallet,
come and get it by force!
He's a fight leader, too!
All right!
I'm taking this battle!
Huh?! Right now?
We're going to be late, though...

Winner: Kaito Gosho!
You did it!
You had my heart pounding, though.
Kaito's so awesome!
I'm the strongest!
You're passionate, young man.
I've been looking for a guy like you...
Now, give it back like you promised.
I don't need this stupid thing!
I'll remember this!
Wash your butt and come on back!
Here, your wallet.
Thank you, Kaito.
I'm impressed you knew to come here.
Platina told me about it.
He gave me a zap saying Nagare was in trouble...
Platina's prophecies are always spot-on!
I see...
Platina, Fukuta, thank you.
Hey, that's the wallet you bought with me, right?
Was that when we were in first grade?
Oh? Is it?
Yeah. Yours was a different color, right?
Mine got a hole in it right away, and I couldn't use it anymore.
Nagare takes good care of his things, though.
Yeah, I guess.
Guys, we better hurry or we'll be late!
Oh, crap!
Everyone run!
Hey, w-wait for me!

Our activities at school are basically volunteer work,

Yay!
And this money is put to use for...
none other than Hero Suits!
We rent Hero Suits and fight.
If we had more money, we could buy strong heroes and customize them, but...

Tasty!
Nothing like a snack after work!
We got Nagare-kun's wallet back safely, too.
And everyone was so happy with us...
Hostess, another Yummy Stick!
Righto!
Is the shrimp-mayonnaise flavor you like okay?
That's my hostess!
You know me so well!
Thank you as always, Nagare-kun.
Not at all.
Kaito is just too impudent.
My bad.
I'll do it myself, next time.
You're just like the sun.
Everything you do makes everyone smile.
Whether it's working or battling.
Not just me.
Anyone can do it! Wanna eat another?
In that case, you got me all fired up at today's battle,
so I'll treat you each to one more.
Sweet!
Thank you very much.
What flavor should I get next?
Kaito, I've got to get going.
Huh, already?
Candy Store
See you tomorrow.
Yeah!
Please do your best.
Here.
Huh?
Take it.
You get hungry studying at cram school, don't you?
Oh, thanks.
If only I had courage like Kaito...
Do you want power?
That Nagare really has it rough, with cram school and all...
But he suddenly said you're like the sun...
That was weird.
It was a compliment!
I just got a zap, though!
Oh! Platina's prophecy!
Major danger is coming your way, Kaito!
What? Danger?
Where?!
K-Kaito!
Are you okay?!
Who did that?! That was totally dangerous!
Ooh, I'm the best!
I never miss any goal I aim for.
If you ask who I am, I'll say I am The Great Me.
When they mention the field magician, they mean me.
Nailed it again today!
What's with him?
Hm? That guy...
I've seen him somewhere before, though...
Of course ya have!
He's a pro soccer player who was active in Europe until recently.
All the ladies loved him over there, too!
Shuuto Raigou-sama!
He's Big Bro Raigo's...
...big brother!
Wow, that's awesome!
But, Raigou has started fights with teams from all over,
until he could no longer remain in the professional world.
Former Professional Soccer Player
Where is Shuuto Raigou now?
After that, everything seemed to go downhill.
Not long ago, he was on one of those
"Where are they now?" TV gossip shows...
I saw that he was hopping around from job to job.
It's society's fault!
That's right! That's right!
My beloved little brother, thank you so much!
Now, regent boy!
Won't you have a match with me?
I dunno what you're going on about,
but I'll buy any battle you're selling!

If you lose to me,
you'll become my henchman!
Yeah, I'm in!
Huh?!
Then, if I win,
never mess with me again!

That's the Bad Boy from this morning.
Shuuto Raigou is ranked #90,065!
It'll be interesting to see how well the low ranker Kaito Gosho can keep up!
I will show you a beautiful victory.
Kaito-kun, we've got trouble!
The Hero Suit rental deadline is drawing near!
It's all right.
I'll settle this in no time!
Hero Battle!
Go!
Attack!
H-He's amazing, though...
No less from a former pro soccer player!
Shinobi Striker attacks!
His Hero Suit's characteristics match his pro soccer player disposition,
enhancing his abilities!
Kaito-kun!
Serves ya right!
I guess he's not a pro for nothing...
Will my flame be too harsh for an amateur like you?
What's that?
Kaito-kun, this is bad!
Here comes his special attack!
That voice earlier was you?
Nice to meet you...
I'm the Money Ghost.
What do you want from me?
Behold...
the boy you described as "the sun"!
Kaito won't lose.
Is that how you truly feel?
I can see it.
I know what you seek.
Kaito-kun! Now it's even worse!
Your Hero Suit rental is almost up!
You're sure working hard.
But kids should listen to what adults tell them!
He stopped it!
That was one splendid face block!
Oh, you're showing some spunk.
But that's the type I hate most!
Kaito's stamina is critical, though!
But that catch is netting Kaito some battle money!
Here goes my counterattack!
U-Unbelievable! His rental expired!
Kaito Gosho is buck naked!
That's what I was trying to tell you!
Kaito...
Now that was brilliant.
This is the most absurd thing to happen in Hero Bank history.
I've taken a liking to you, youngster!
Lame!
He's covering his balls with a ball!
Shut up!
Not beautiful at all!
I don't want to look at you, so I'll finish this now!
Kaito-kun, this is bad!
If you take that technique while naked...
Hey, boy!
Wh-What?!
So he came after all.
Who are you?!
Your battle has charmed me, boy.
Gross! You're way too creepy!
I've wanted dauntless hearts like yours in this Hero Bank.
That which best makes use of money
is a heart which has not been engulfed by money!
My instincts tell me you have that gift!
M-Me?
Mister, you're in the way.
I was just at the good par—
Silence!
Boy, do you want a Hero Suit?
A Hero Suit?
Y-Yes!
Enter the Gold
is a one-of-a-kind bargain.
If you want it, sign this contract.
That's ridiculously dodgy!
How dare you make a fool of me?
All of you, get out of my sight at once!
K-Kaito-kun!
This looks bad, though!
Now! Yes or no?
Don't, Kaito-kun!
I've got a bad feeling about this, though!
Fireworks Kick!
Now, yes or no!
Decide!
Yes!
Contract established!
Job Change
Job change!
Kaito!
Kaito-kun!
Yay, fireworks!
Honestly, the brat was all talk.
I wouldn't be so sure of that.
What?!
That... can't be...
Incredible!
This is an unexpected development!
Kaito Gosho has job changed from buck naked to a new hero!
That's...
What is that Hero Suit?!
Are you okay, Kaito-kun?
He's unhurt, though...
I can feel it!
I can totally feel the power in this Hero Suit!
Wh-What is this power?!
Ow!
He charged with so much momentum, he crashed into the ropes!
I'm only getting started!
I ripped myself a new one!
This time, he crashed into the corner post!
So lame!
This jerk...
Hero Suit! Become me!
You're fun, kid!
That's it! More!
The audience's cheers are filling the money gauge!
That's it, get fired up!
Draw out Enter the Gold's power!
How could he stand out more than me?!
Fireworks Kick!
A really bad one is coming, though!
Don't underestimate... elementary schoolers!
Explosive Gold Rush!
Fireworks!
The winner: Kaito Gosho!
A Hero Suit like none we've ever seen has appeared!
And its name is Enter the Gold!
I'm the strongest!
Candy Store
The Copper Cup
Bro!
Just how low can my life get...
Man, today's battle was on fire!
I wish Nagare could've seen it, too.
But, Kaito-kun, that contract earlier...
Oh, this?
Hey, boy!
My name is Sennen.
I'm a hardboiled wandering priest.
The old dude from before!
Now, do you think you could promptly pay the Hero Suit rental fee?
Oh, sure. How much was it?
Take a good look at the contract.
Let's see...
One, ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million...
Uh...
It's ten billion yen.
Oh, ten billion, is that a—
Ten billion yen?!
Mitsuo-kun, Fukuta-kun, you're both co-signers, as well.
What?!
Y-You mean we're both being held responsible, too?
There's no way elementary schoolers can be co-signers, though...
This is fraud, you crappy old geezer!
That doesn't change the fact that you used Enter the Gold.
Fine by me!
I'll give it to you along with your butt on a platter!
What? How?
Well, of course...
I'm gonna think about that now!
Don't you want immense power like him?
