Oh, my goodness!
Sure is quiet...
It doesn't look like there's any of those guys around.
Joey, look at that!
What is that monstrous mushroom?
Hey, Psy... Let's hurry to the emergency shelter.
Who knows when they'll come again.
Yeah. That sounds like a good idea.
All right, let's go.
Hey, Will, this is kinda...
Episode #4 Sphere
Lord Kogorr, our forces have finished withdrawing.
Although it is only a trifle, we have suffered some small losses.
They try and resist, but it is futile.
Now, proceed to the second stage of the plan!
Yes, Lord.
It's a lot bigger than it looks from afar.
Where can we get in?
That's what we're going to look for now.
Hey, don't you think maybe we should go back?
You want to go back? Then go by yourself.
I didn't mean...
What is it?
Hey, Will...
What are you planning on doing?
I told you, remember? We're going to be the heroes.
I think we're already plenty good heroes sneaking into the enemy's base...
That's not good enough!
Then what is?
You want to know?
We're going to steal their weapons!
Then we'll take them all down!
That's impossible!
No, it's not!
We've made it all the way here, after all.
Uh...
Here.
Thank you.
Joey!
Lina!
Thank goodness, you're safe!
Yeah! Grandma's safe, too.
Hello!
Hello, my dear.
Lina, where's the Professor?
Professor Denton went back to the school a little while ago.
Let's go.
I'm sure the Professor knows something.
Yeah.
Grandma, I'm going back out for a bit.
Wait a second!
Do you know where Nick and my brother are?
I haven't seen them around here for a while.
Will and Nick?
Where are you planning on going?
I'll never accept someone like you being a hero!
I sure hope that guy isn't doing anything reckless...
Will...
I'm sure he's fine.
We'll look for him later.
Thank you.
First comes the Professor.
Come on, Joey.
Right.
Joey, be careful!
I know!
Professor Denton!
Oh, it's you two.
What are you doing at a time like this?
Now is exactly the time to do this!
Take a look at this.
That's...
...one of the alien's weapons!
Exactly!
It was tossed aside from the wreckage of one of the ones your robot defeated.
It's hyper-advanced technology the defies description!
With this I can understand why the military was completely useless.
How do you figure that?
Anyway, it's amazing!
I can't even put it into words to explain!
In other words, you don't really understand.
Well, this is all basically my fault.
Each time some part of this city was destroyed,
I felt my heart be torn more and more to shreds!
However!
That is exactly why I can't run away from this!
In order to atone for the sins I have committed, I must act!
These are my true feelings!
So then, Joey...
Uh, yes?
That robot of yours... It's called, "Heroman," yes?
Would you let me disassemble it?
N-No!
But if I can uncover how that robot operates, we can fight back against them!
It'd greatly increase our offensive potential...
Whatever, Professor!
Have you figured anything out about them?
Well, you see...
I understand, but I don't really understand...
Well, there's some things I've figured out...
Um, can you cut to the chase here?
Oh?
Fine then.
They are called the Skrugg.
From their outward appearance,
I could imagine them as some sort of evolved form of cockroach.
However!
They possess incredible technology based on science that human beings have yet to even imagine!
And...?
And?
And what?
Do they have a weak point or something?
Are they weak against germs?
Or can't stand the cold?
You expect me to determine that kind of thing in such a short time?
In other words, you haven't figured anything out.
It's true that everything's full of mysteries right now.
But there is one thing I know.
The strength to surpass the overwhelming power of the Skrugg...
...is possessed by Heroman.
Heroman holds the key to this battle, Joey!
These are amazing.
Look for some weapons we can use.
Damn it, it won't budge...
It's no use.
How do you work it?
What happened?
W-Whoa!
Let me have it!
With this, I can fight them!
H-Hold up, Will!
A dead-end?
Something isn't right, Will.
I'm sure this is the way we came before...
Let's turn back.
Was there a passageway here before?
Will!
Stop crying like a little sissy!
Will!
This is a pretty big room.
Look at that!
Damn it!
Why won't it shoot? Damn it!
We have captured some intruders.
Did you little bugs get lost?
Bugs...
You're the damn bugs!
You'd best know your place, feeble human.
But, worry not.
This world will soon fall into our hands.
Thanks to those weapons you fools saw.
You think we'll let you?!
Take them away!
Yes, Lord.
Open the main gate!
Proceed to stage 3 of the plan!
Now, go! Mow down all before you!
Ready?
Okay, here I go!
Heroman Engage!
And nothing happens...
Maybe he didn't say it right.
I guess it only reacts to you, Joey.
Heroman... Engage!
What's that?
It wasn't me!
Definitely not me!
We know!
See something?
A sphere?
A perfect sphere indeed.
Now's not the time to be impressed!
That sphere is heading this way!
If it keeps going in that direction...
This is not good!
Psy, Professor... You two evacuate everyone.
No, I'm coming with you.
I must take responsibility!
I have a duty to take responsibility for the people of this city... no, for the world!
I understand.
Let's go, Joey.
Psy, everyone's counting on you.
Leave them to me!
It's kind of... big.
I'm doing it now.
Let's go.
Heroman...
Engage!
Heroman!
Are you okay?
Heroman... Attack!
All right!
What? It didn't even make a dent.
Come on now, hurry.
Everyone over here. Quickly!
Watch your step.
Hurry! Hurry and get to safety!
This is bad. They're not going to make it at this rate.
We're counting on you, Joey!
It's not working at all.
Joey!
Professor Denton!
Joey...
Professor, that sphere is incredibly hard.
I know. And I have a plan about that.
We'll trap that sphere in a hole.
A hole?
Oh, don't worry.
I'm not talking about digging one now.
Then, how?
A subway station and underground mall are being constructed under here.
And there's a large cavity that's been made to construct the extension to the tracks.
I see! So we open up a hole here, and then the sphere drops into it.
I'd rather not destroy things,
but it's better than losing people's lives.
Can you do it?
I'll try.
Heroman...
Attack!
All right!
Woohoo!
This is nonsense...
This is complete nonsense!
Quickly, everyone!
Hurry!
Hurry up!
Grandma, you need to evacuate.
It looks delicious...
What?
Please stop it, Heroman!
He finally stopped it!
Don't, Heroman!
That's enough! That's enough I say!
Heroman!
Heroman...
Heroman is telling me not to give up... To fight together!
Heroman...
Augment!
Heroman...
...turned into a giant...
What's that?
That's the way!
Don't let up! You've got to hold out until everyone's evacuated!
Right...
Joey!
Everyone's evacuated!
Right!
Heroman, move away from the sphere!
What is that white thing?
Do they actually possess a power that can oppose us?
Good going, Joey!
No, it's not over.
If we don't do something about that sphere...
Joey.
"Can you hear this voice?"
I've been calling that, always, from deep within my heart.
Would you, all alone, let another lonely one be next to you?
Because together it's not lonely, it's twoly.
See, you're not alone any longer.
Just because there's no one next to me
doesn't mean that I'm lonely!
For someone to notice this pain
that heart must have surely cried.
Right now, we'll crush to bits
the fortress of our limitless sadness!
I'll take you with me!
Got it? I'm running through at full power.
To where you're waiting, left behind
in the place of tears...
I believe in you, with burning passion!
Come to me!
On the next Heroman:
No way! Could that... Could that be?
Thanks to Heroman's actions, the people of the city evacuated safely.
But the Skrugg do not rest, and intensify their attacks.
Joey and the others head to a battlefield with no breakthrough in sight.
And what stands before their eyes are new assassins.
Next time on Heroman Episode #5: Assassins!
Heroman... Attack!
