This is taking forever!
Is he in the bathroom?
Uh, we've just received a cancellation request from the challenger.
The battle is invalidated.
Huh? Canceled?
Again, though...
That's the third one today.
The number of drop-outs increases by the day in these fierce Hero Wars battles.
There is little time remaining in the qualifying period.
It's a relentless battle.
Crap...
Don't run away!
HERO BANK
Man of Steel! Kintetsu!!
Man of Steel! Kintetsu!
Let's see...
Iron Town's...
Are we there yet, Sis?
I-I'm worn out, though...
Besides, this isn't the time for us to be doing this.
We have to hurry and find a Hero Wars opponent!
W a r s
The fight leaders who have already earned ten wins
are guaranteed spots in the finals.
Preliminaries
Main Event
Finals
On the contrary,
the number of people who abstained because they kept on losing is greater.
In other words, there's almost nobody left for Kaito-kun to battle.
Enter the Gold is strong,
so everyone is too scared to have a match with him, though.
Yeesh, being the strongest is tough!
I don't know about these Hero Wars or Hero Bores or whatever,
but repairing this comes first.
Or would you rather leave it broken and go without eating?
What?!
In that case, why not just buy a new one?
We don't have the money to buy a replacement.
Besides, Mom and Dad always said to take good care of your things.
Then you carry it.
You have the most superhuman strength of all!
What do you think you're saying to a delicate young lady?!
Delicate?
Young lady?
She's snowballing into a more robust person, though...
I wanna hurry and battle!
A factory?
Kanagata Factory
Appliance Repairs
It says they do repairs, too.
There!
Looks like you used this old one with care.
If this is all, I can fix it.
Thank goodness.
Are we really doing this?
Let's not.
Shut up!
Listen. Here's the plan.
Somebody save me!
I love you.
Don't fall for me.
That's our Torai-san! Super old-fashioned!
When it comes to shallow thinking, you're the best in the world!
Cut it out. You're gonna make me blush!
Go!
Yes, sir!
All right, it's fixed.
Thank you so much.
All right! Now we can eat.
What's this run-down piece of junk?
Take that and that and that!
Hey, what're you doing?!
Just takin' care of this oversized piece of junk!
Stop it, you jerks!
Back off, brat!
What was that?
Don't underestimate elementary schoolers!
Explosive Gold Rush!
What's with these guys?
There were more?
Huh?
It had no effect at all.
Not good!
Wait right there!
I'll take you on.
Sis?!
It's her! Double-faced Ai!
You wanna fight, punk?!
Looks like I'm up.
T-Torai-san...
This is bad.
Those guys are the real deal.
Bro!
Hey there!
We can't have any violence.
Who're you, freak?!
Oh, Kintetsu!
Well, whatever.
Anyone who gets in our way...
...will get crushed!
Ow!
You scum...
You've gone and done it now!
W-We'll remember this!
Sweet!
You're ridiculously strong!
This is my son, Tetsunosuke Kanagata.
Call me Kintetsu.
Are you injured?
N-No!
I see.
I'm glad, then!
Th-This is...
Are you all right?!
A r-robot?!
Kanagata Factory
This ought to do it...
How's that, Kintetsu?
It's perfect, Pops!
Sorry, but let me sleep a little.
He fell asleep.
He must've been exhausted.
He's been helping people in the neighborhood move since this morning.
Kintetsu really is a considerate son.
As for how his body ended up that way...
Pops, look out!
Kintetsu!
He was horrifically injured,
yet he smiled and said he was glad I was safe.
He actually encouraged me and said not to cry.
Big Bro, you're a man among men!
I wanted to make it so Kintetsu could move freely somehow...
I developed this "Tetsunosuke Supporter" for that sole purpose.
He's not a robot, though.
You inadvertently created unthinkable technology.
Iron Town is a factory town.
I invested all of the skill I possessed and finally made it this far...
Kintetsu-san's mechanical frame
is the embodiment of a father's love for his son.
Excuse me!
Yes.
You're...
Thank you for yesterday.
I didn't get a chance to properly thank you.
S-Sis...
This is heavy!
Well, well. That's quite the load of luggage.
Oh, awesome!
Now, please eat up!
Thanks for the food!
Now, that's eating with style!
Just watching makes ya feel good!
You, too, Big Bro Kintetsu!
You made all this yourself?
Yes.
I'm sorry, I came to show my gratitude,
but we wound up eating with you.
Yeah, it's delicious!
I'm glad.
Sis, your face is red.
Do you have a fever or something?
I don't, idiot!
Ow, ow, ow!
Close enough that you can fight, huh?
Um, Kintetsu-san.
Would you like seconds?
Yes, please.
They're like a married couple.
It's totally the L word.
Ai...
I'll help, too.
Thanks, Big Bro.
It's easier if you do it like this.
Incredible!
Rock dropper!
Yahoo!
Feels great!
The water's perfect.
Nothing like a bath after a hard day's work, eh?
That body won't rust?
Don't worry about the small stuff!
If I wipe it down, it'll be all right!
No less from you, Big Bro! You're a big man!
Thank you, Kaito.
Bright smiles are free!
Hey, Kaito.
Do you have anything you like?
Yummy Sticks and Hero Battles!
You like Hero Battles, too?
You do, too, Big Bro?
Yeah.
I'm a fight leader, too.
Want to have a match?
I do, I do! I'm strong!
I'm looking forward to that.
Wh-What was that?
It came from the factory!
Please stop!
We should still have time before the debt repayment period is up!
Oh... And can you repay it?
Well...
That's enough. Go home for today.
Soon the factories, and this town,
will all belong to our company!
Nyah! Don't come back again!
We'll spank your butts!
Um, a debt?
Essential money for the factory.
We've been paying it back little by little, but...
Even if they tell us to pay it back immediately,
it's a huge sum we can't do anything about.
And if you can't pay it back?
If we can't, we'll have no choice but to leave.
No way...
If it's a debt, leave it to me!
Big Bro Kintetsu, Uncle!
10 Billion Yen
I've got a ten billion yen debt myself.
Compared to that, it's totally small!
It'll definitely work out somehow!
That's right!
Telling you to pay it back immediately is heartless!
Big Money Company, head out!
I'll spring for some pocket money, just this once.
All right! Thanks!
Big Money Company
I tried looking into it right away,
but it seems it isn't just Kintetsu-san's factory.
What do you mean?
Iron Town's factories across the board are shouldering debts,
being bought out, and being pressed into eviction.
I got a zap, though!
We should go ask what happened at Big Money Fresh Fish Market Castle, though!
The market?
Isshin's place?
Big Money Fresh Fish Market Castle
I see.
So that's what's happening?
Actually, there was a suspicious company taking advantage
of our bad fish harvest in Big Money Bay to sell outside fish and make a tidy profit...
Their parent company
is behind the trouble at Iron Town, too.
"Cyber Emperor."
The old priest...
I do not know who you are,
but is what you just said true?
Cyber Emperor...
That's it.
"That"...
It was that factory's fault we couldn't catch fish in Big Money Bay...
On top of that, they made use of it and sold fish at expensive prices.
What cowardice!
Certainly a case of match-fixing.
Max-fitching?
What sort of Hero Suit is that?
Not that!
You light a fire with a match, then fix it by putting it out...
In short, it was a set-up.
Those scary guys who came to Kintetsu-san's place were underlings, too, though.
Darn it!
I won't let them get away with it!
Hey, where do you think you're going?
Ain't that obvious?
That Cyber-what's-it Company!
You'll go there, then what?
If you could go there and make it all work out,
someone would have done that ages ago.
Oh, if it isn't Kaito.
What's wrong?
Big Bro.
I see.
I understand the situation.
But no matter how evil the other party is,
you have to return something you've borrowed.
But!
There is but one way...
To become champion of the Hero Wars
and obtain the ten billion yen prize.
Kaito, would you have a match with me?
Huh?
Why do Kaito and Kintetsu-san have to fight?!
W-We can't do anything about it...
It's no good. I don't get it!
What's wrong, Kaito?
Aren't you struggling to find opponents, as well?
But, Big Bro Kintetsu, if you lose,
then you'll lose your factory.
Besides, I have to win for the sake of my debt and Nagare...
Then why don't you fight someone else?
Anyone will do as an opponent for the preliminaries, right?
That's right, though!
Aw, man,
what should I do?!
Good grief!
I misjudged you, Kaito.
I didn't think you were such a small-minded man.
I'm disappointed!
Are you really okay with that?
I...
The truth is, I...
want to battle with you, Big Bro Kintetsu.
After all, if I'm gonna fight,
I wanna fight strong guys!
You fool!
In that case, come and slam into me!
That's what a man is!
Kintetsu-san, but...
Don't butt in!
This is between Kaito and me...
A true man-to-man battle!
Big Bro...
Don't just assume from the start that I'll lose.
Sorry, but I won't lose.
Even if my opponent is you, Kaito, I won't make any allowances!
I'd refuse any allowances, even if they were free!
Ai-san!
Will you watch our battle?
Yes!
Bankfon G, activate!
Job change!
Enter the Gold!
Enter the Gold
Job change!
Karate Deiku!
Karate Deiku
Here we go!
Hero Wars Qualifier!
Enter the Gold's first battle in ages begins!
His opponent has a well-tempered body of steel,
a super martial artist branch which has chosen combat sports,
Karate Deiku!
What's up?!
Do it, Kaito!
Get psyched, darn it!
The enemy of his enemy is his friend, huh?
Bro, male jealousy is ugly.
Which hand will this scarce remaining win go to?
Battle money will start at a million yen.
Hero Battle...
Fight!
Here I go!
He did it, though!
His usual certain victory pattern!
It was so solid, he took damage instead!
Ow, ow, ow, ow!
That looks like it hurts!
Rank 380,059
Fire
Skilled at close-quarter combat, the punches unleashed from this one's hands are without equal!
All right...
Counterattack!
Decision-making Holy Fist!
Whoa! His head's spinning!
Karate Deiku is taking advantage of the moment to strike!
Sawblade Chop!
Ow!
Again, though?
He defended it, too!
There's more where that came from!
His special attack is coming, though!
Kaito-kun, please dodge it!
No!
What's up?!
What's up?! What's up?! What's up?!
What's Up Now?!
Th-That did it!
Super-dreadnought class damage!
Will Enter the Gold be able to stand back up?!
Kaito!
Why, Kaito?
Why didn't you dodge it?
Because...
it'd be a waste to dodge when you attack at full power, right, Big Bro?!
You're seriously awesome, Big Bro!
Getting to fight such a strong opponent...
I'm having a blast right now!
Unbelievable...
Is now the time to say things like that?
He's in major trouble, though!
Kaito, you really are a terrific guy!
But, your attacks won't damage me!
Then how about this?
Oh, jeez, good luck to both of you!
Right-side Rising Uppercut!
He landed it, though!
But Kaito-kun is the one who took damage!
Ow...
What?!
This technique is...
Rock Dropper!
It's over!
Winner: Enter the Gold, Kaito Gosho!
All right!
Sorry, Kaito.
Hurry up and have Uncle perform mincemeat on you.
It's "maintenance."
Oh, boy, how pitiful.
An utter defeat...
What're you saying?
There's plenty more to come!
Let's go to the main event together,
Big Bro Kintetsu!
Kaito...
You're right.
It would not do for me to give up so easily over something so small.
All right, I'll get revenge on you in the main event!
Just what I wanted!
Yeah!
Ow!
Sorry, sorry!
Um, Kintetsu-san.
Here...
For me?
Yes, so your factory can be safe...
Charm
I see.
Thanks.
Hey, hey, Sis!
Where's mine?
None for you.
Aw, why?
Let's see...
If it's a charm to make you smarter, I'll buy it for you.
What's with that?!
It's all mine...
Who's the next tough enemy, though?
I'll tell you!
Open your butt and listen good!
If you're going to say that, it's "ears"!
"Flash Descent! Deborah Kizaki!!"
Next time: "Flash Descent! Deborah Kizaki!!"
Let's rake in the dough!
