When you watch television,
you'd better brighten up the room and watch it from a distance.
This city is constantly surrounded by white smoke.
Steam flows out from everywhere, hiding the city within a thick cloud.
No other energy source, other than coal, could be emracted from this land.
For this reason, in this world,
the advancement of steam powered engine technology took a quantum leap.
Taking cover in the white web, numerous thieves
and phantoms have come out of the woodwork.
The people, who live in the darkness and the white smoke,
have branded them disturbers of the peace.
We address this city surrounded by the smoke as... Steam City.

How does it fit, Miss?
Oh... Just a little longer.
So, today's snack is Darjeeling tea and a strawbery tart.
Go ahead.
What? You're only drinking tea?
Oh, don't mind me.
You can have my share as well.
Thank you vey much!
You're vey welcome.
So, she's on another diet again.
This time, it's for a dress she's taken a liking to.
I see.
Grin!
And away we go!
The Machine Baron's Fatal Error
I’ll definitely make you mine this time.
I, the Machine Baron, swear it.
All right!
Cramp! Cramp! Got a leg cramp!
And so, now that I’m calm and relaxed, away we go again!
There was a moment when I thought things were beyond my control,
but now everything is going smoothly! Good headway! Fantastic!
Hey, now we're gaining too much altitude.
Steer properly!
One of the basics of dieting is burning fat through aerobic exercise.
Well, my head says that, but my body won't move.
But that dress!
Huh?
What?
What's this?
Hey! Could it be, could it be?
What the...
Testing, testing.
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain.
I, the Machine Baron, have now occupied Steam City.
I have only one demand! Hand over Goriki!
Until my demand is met, this greatest and most powerful Megatonman
will plunge the capital into the depths of terror!
Go, Megatonman!
Why won't it move?!
What?
What? The mobility control device is missing?
Could you place it there, Goriki?
Steam Sauna For The Home
I get the feeling the shape's a little different.
it must be an old model.
Luck! A powerful ally in my dieting shows up!
I’ll be able to wear that dress!
What's going on?
There hasn't been any movement since.
To drop into the middle of Steam City and demand Goriki be handed over...
He's either vey confident or he's a bombastic simpleton.
What a chaotic blunder to have dropped the mobility control device.
If they find out...
This'll probably happen.
Then that'll probably happen.
And then that'll happen.
That would be horrible! But...
Since I already made my big demand,
I can't turn back with my tail between my legs!
What to do? What to do? What to do now?
it certainly hasn't moved at all.
Why don't we just remove it?
There's no guarantee there isn't a bomb placed in that thing, though.
That's true as well.
There, there, there, now!
Now, let's hear an answer.
Based on your answer, Steam City may turn into a sea of flames!
Well, that's what I’d like to say.
But I am a gentleman full of mercy.
I’ll give you another half day.
No, I’ll give you until tomorrow morning!
I’ll be waiting for a satisfactory answer until tomorrow morning!
Hey, wait a minute!
Adios!
''Adios''?
What's going on?
What'll we do now?
That's a good question.
We don't have much choice but to be on guard until tomorrow morning.
So, anyway, while I’m buying some time,
I’m going to search for the mobility control device with this tracker.
How comfortable and pleasant.
I picked up something fantastic!
For this dress! All right!
Bingo! Found it already!
Let's go.
This way! Follow me!
What does the Machine Baron demand!? Residents are warned to evacuate!
He certainly is brazen.
I wonder if Goriki will be all right.
Well, Narutaki's on the case, so there's no problem.
This way! This way!
Oh, I feel it...
it disappeared?
Look for it!
Search the area and leave no stone unturned!
Now, are there any suspicious places?
That's suspicious...
Upsy-daisy.. .
Get these developed, Kawakubo.
What happened, Ling Ling?
A pervert!
You'll be all right. Looks like he ran off somewhere.
No!
Here you are.
Children shouldn't look at that!
Yes, ma'am!
Why do I have to put up with that?
But I won't give up.
Just you wait, Goriki!
Yup, Goriki will be all right.
Narutaki said so, and l have to do my best as well.
Ling Ling!
Good morning.
Sorry, Ling Ling. Could you get Goriki to play hostage for a short while?
Huh? Huh?
Where's Goriki?
it’s all right. I don't think there'll be a need for that.
He's here!
Now, let me hear your answer.
Depending on your answer, Steam City may be in for a rude awakening.
Well, that's what l thought, but...
I am a merciful gentleman.
Go make some wonderful memories with Goriki for today.
I’ll wait until tomorrow! Farewell!
What's going on?
That's exactly it.
That's exactly it?
What does that mean, exactly?
it has been a month since the Megatonman occupied the Angel Statue Square,
and there have been no signs of any movement.
By now, it's become a fixture for people to meet at
and it feels as though that fuss was one big fat lie.
We demand removal Protect the city's beauty
Amidst this situation, a group of citizens held a protest demanding its removal,
claiming that it has reduced the beauty of the city.
Next we have a report on the Central Zoo...
Thank you for another hard day's work.
Thanks.
You were on watch last night, as well?
Yeah. We never know when that thing will actually move.
But after the initial danger passed, everything was forgotten.
Even a case like this that used to be a big fuss is now treated lightly.
Talk about leisurely.
On the other hand, I’m falling apart from keeping an eye on that thing all the time.
Damn it, if it's going to move, move already.
If not, don't! I don't care which. I just want to know!
it probably won't move.
Huh? What did you say just now?
I said it probably won't move.
Why?!
Kawakubo, bring them out.
Yes, sir.
''Them''?
These.
These...
Let's see here...
What's with these pictures?
There should be one of Megatonman's back.
Back? I see. So?
Look at the exhaust pipe.
Hey, there's something there.
Take a look at the next picture.
Next?
Gee, there's a bird building a nest there.
So?
A bird building a nest there means
there's no steam coming out of the exhaust pipe.
in other words, for whatever reason, Megatonman's mobility parts will not activate.
I see! Now that I know, I’ll have that thing removed immediately!
I can finally go home.
Please wait.
Ah? There's something else?
This is the Machine Baron, after all.
If someone were to touch his precious little machine,
it might explode and go, boom!
Then what am I supposed to do?!
I think the current situation's the safest.
So, I need to wait for him to make a move, after all.
Oh. Hi, Detective Onigawara.
Narutaki, I’m going out on patrol.
Hey, Narutaki. Did Ling Ling take up boxing?
Nothing out of the ordinary for Megatonman today.
Welcome! What will it be?
Orange juice... Oh, no!
Oh, what a pitiful state my Megatonman is in.
If I only had the controlling parts, this would have never...
I thought I just heard someone screaming.
To start hearing things...
I wonder if the damage from the diet is piling up.
I know! At a time like this, in order to lift my spirits...
Tomorrow
Starting at 10 tomorrow...
What?! A bargain sale?!
I have over two pounds to go before 10 o'clock tomorrow!
it’s impossible to do through normal means!
Target
in that case...
it’s a challenge at the highest level setting!
Hey! Long time no see tracking!
This way, this way!
Dress...
All right! It's here!
What?! This place again?!
Wha- What the?!
Ouch.
I wonder if I raised the pressure too high...
Huh? Yes?
Ling Ling? I just heard some Loud noise in there.
Oh, nothing's wrong. It's not a big deal at all.
Well, all right...
Sorry to make you worry.
Now, let's see...
it’s not broken anywhere, is it?
Then, tomorrow's...
Again...
So, tomorrow at 10 o'clock...
Help me, Narutaki!
Hey! Get out! Give me back my control parts!
Let go, pervert!
How rude! You're the one who feels no compunction for being a thief!
Narutaki! !
You're the Machine Baron!
Narutaki? Why are you here?!
This is my agency!
Say what?!
So, bugs do fly into the flames during the summer, right, Baron?
You moron. Like I’m going to be captured by a brat like you!
I’m going to take my control parts.
Bring Goriki to the square with you!
Ling Ling!
Narutaki!
When I get some time off, I’m planning on asking Ling Ling out to the movies.
Detective Onigawara! That airship seems to be heading this way!
Again? Then get some men out there and call me if something happens.
Yes, sir!
Detective Onigawara!
The airship is lowering some strange object!
Strange object?
Megatonman, go!
What do you think? This is what the real Megatonman looks like!
Don't let him get a step past this place!
Fire, fire, fire!
Take that, Megatonman!
We'll protect Steam City!
Everyone, retreat!
Crap. We're not even scratching it.
That being the case, I’ll shove this into that behemoth's stomach!
Detective! Where did you get that thing?!
Shut up!
Now eat thi-
Wait! Ling Ling is in that thing's stomach!
What?! Is that true?!
it’s hot...
Why the hell is she inside?
Well, there's a reason. I just can't explain it in a sentence.
What will you do, Narutaki?
Hand over Goriki or turn this city into flames along with the little girl?
Why don't we arrange a trade?
What a cheap bastard, taking Ling Ling hostage.
What will you do now?
We'll hand Goriki over as demanded!
Just let go of Ling Ling first!
Moron! Why would l hand over my precious hostage first?
The girl will come after you hand Goriki over.
Goriki... I’m sorry...
Now Goriki's mine!
Goriki... It's all my fault!
What should I do?
That's it!
What the?
What happened? Out of my way!
The control parts malfunctioned?! Why?!
Now, Goriki! Save Ling Ling!
Damn you!
All right. With the available right hand, full power Megaton Punch!
Goriki!
What the...
Goriki! There's no need to hold back now!
My Megatonman!
But that was fantastic nonetheless, Goriki.
And so, this concludes our battle for now.
I will not give up on Goriki!
That's right. I was saved by Goriki yesterday, and...
Yesterday? What time is it?
Today Bargain Sale
I’m home...
Been waiting for you to come home.
Here's a little present for your big actions during this incident.
Yay! It's that dress!
That store had a big sale today.
We lined up before the store opened so no one else would purchase it.
Thanks, Narutaki!
I was the one who lined up, actually.

When you pour coffee, be more mindful and gentle.
it’s just coffee!
How rude to say it's just coffee.
You're just a kid and you drink too much coffee!
Stop calling me ''kid''! Are you Crimson Scorpion or something?
How dare you speak to a lady older than you in that manner?
So, this mouth says stuff like that, huh?
