[01:40] ---
    It's been 3 months since the battle
    with the Skrugg was finished.
[01:45] ---
    Peace has returned to the city, but it's not
    like everything is the way it used to be.
[01:52] ---
    Deep scars remain from the Skrugg, and a
    large number of people lost their homes.
[02:01] ---
    Those spheres stopped moving, and
    have remained where they are.
[02:05] ---
    It doesn't seem like we have the technology
    on this planet to reactivate them.
[02:11] ---
    I heard on the news that the government
[02:14] ---
    has finished surrounding the sphere in front
    of the White House with a research lab.
[02:22] ---
    The utilities and transportation networks
    haven't been fully restored yet, either.
[02:29] ---
    But... Even so...
[02:31] ---
    Okay, just hold it like that.
[02:34] ---
    Okay! No problem!
[02:35] ---
    Here I go!
[02:36] ---
    Ready, set...
[02:39] ---
    Everyone in the city is taking
    a new step toward tomorrow.
[02:44] ---
    And I've got a ton more work
    to do at my part-time job!
[02:49] ---
    Joey! I've got a lot of
    work again for you today!
[02:53] ---
    Right! Thank you!
[03:01] ---
    According to the latest reports,
[03:03] ---
    the reconstruction of the areas destroyed
    by the spheres is proceeding as scheduled.
[03:08] ---
    And what of the investigation into the Skrugg?
[03:12] ---
    I am sorry, Sir, but although we
    are investigating quite diligently,
[03:17] ---
    we still know nothing of the codenamed
    "Ghost" that destroyed the Skrugg.
[03:22] ---
    So, no change on that front.
[03:24] ---
    However, there have been small incidents
    in Center City during its reconstruction.
[03:30] ---
    Incidents?
[03:31] ---
    Well, I would hesitate to
    even call them that....
[03:36] ---
    Overnight, piles of rubble have been cleaned up,
[03:39] ---
    ground has been leveled,
[03:42] ---
    scaffolding has been erected...
[03:45] ---
    It seems like someone is assisting
    with the rebuilding of the city.
[03:49] ---
    The work always seems to
    occur over a single night.
[03:52] ---
    And these are jobs that would take many
    weeks to finish even using heavy equipment.
[03:57] ---
    So you're saying that this "Mr.
    Hero" is hiding out in that city?
[04:05] ---
    We have no guarantee that this
    hero will always be on our side.
[04:12] ---
    Furthermore, if this mysterious hero
    and the Ghost are one in the same,
[04:18] ---
    the United States cannot
    turn a blind eye to them.
[04:22] ---
    Do you have some evidence?
[04:24] ---
    This.
[04:30] ---
    It's a printout from a
    security camera in the city.
[04:34] ---
    That's...
[04:36] ---
    This Ghost may became a threat
    to the United States.
[04:48] ---
    Call Hughes.
[04:50] ---
    Let him handle this.
[05:02] ---
    You there, out of the way!
[05:09] ---
    You pitiful ants!
[05:20] ---
    Sheesh...
[05:21] ---
    It is inadvisable to become
    overly emotional, Dr. Minami.
[05:25] ---
    I know that, damn it!
[05:26] ---
    Why do I have to help out here in Center City?
[05:33] ---
    Clearly because the Skrugg were destroyed
    prior to you stopping the sphere.
[05:37] ---
    I know that, damn it!
[05:39] ---
    Thanks to that, my beautiful work of art is
    being put to work rebuilding this puny city!
[05:47] ---
    Is there some other reason
    for involving the MR-1?
[05:51] ---
    Yes, of course there is!
[05:53] ---
    But I can't stand even watching it!
[05:56] ---
    Then perhaps you should not watch it?
[05:58] ---
    Of course not!
[06:00] ---
    You expect me to leave my work
    of art in other people's hands?
[06:04] ---
    Then you should watch it.
[06:08] ---
    I'm sure it's in this city somewhere...
[06:11] ---
    The one that got in the way
    of my grand ambition...
[06:15] ---
    It's in this city!
[06:22] ---
    What's the matter, Joey?
[06:23] ---
    Not getting enough sleep?
[06:25] ---
    Um, yeah...
[06:26] ---
    Sorry...
[06:37] ---
    Where are you going to go, Will?
[06:41] ---
    I don't know.
[06:43] ---
    But I can't stay here any longer.
[06:47] ---
    I can't live in human society with this body.
[06:51] ---
    I can no longer be with you, Lina.
[06:54] ---
    That's...
[06:55] ---
    Stay back!
[07:01] ---
    Stay strong, Lina.
[07:08] ---
    Brother!
[07:14] ---
    I haven't seen him since.
[07:20] ---
    My mother said he's sure to return.
[07:24] ---
    And my dad seems to be
    trying to forget about him
[07:29] ---
    by absorbing himself in
    the reconstruction work.
[07:46] ---
    Lina!
[07:48] ---
    Joey, good morning.
[07:50] ---
    Good morning.
[07:58] ---
    How've you been?
[08:00] ---
    Yeah... Okay, I guess.
[08:03] ---
    Is that so?
[08:06] ---
    So, Lina...
[08:08] ---
    I know a lot happened and all...
[08:11] ---
    But keep on working hard!
[08:13] ---
    If something's up, tell me anything.
[08:15] ---
    I'll be happy to lend an ear.
[08:19] ---
    Really?
[08:20] ---
    That's something I can handle.
[08:22] ---
    Just talking about things can
    make people feel better, right?
[08:26] ---
    Yeah... Thanks.
[08:37] ---
    Then, um...
[08:42] ---
    Would you...
[08:44] ---
    ...go out on a date...
[08:48] ---
    What?
[08:50] ---
    Would you go out with...
[08:51] ---
    Joey, Lina!
[08:53] ---
    What's your problem? You'd better
    hurry or class will start.
[08:58] ---
    Oh, no!
[08:59] ---
    Gotta run!
[09:13] ---
    Using this distributive law,
[09:16] ---
    you can take these products of polynomials
    and turn them into a single polynomial.
[09:20] ---
    This is called the polynomial expansion.
[09:23] ---
    This is the opposite process from factorization,
[09:26] ---
    When class is over, I'll
    ask him out, no excuses!
[09:28] ---
    which we studied previously, therefore you
    can use that process to check your work.
[09:29] ---
    If I ask him nice and quick before anyone
    interrupts, then it should go fine.
[09:36] ---
    That's all for today.
[09:41] ---
    Joey!
[09:42] ---
    Oh, Lina...
[09:43] ---
    Um, you see...
[09:45] ---
    I...
[09:49] ---
    Joey Jones!
[09:51] ---
    Yes?
[09:52] ---
    Would you come here for a bit?
[09:55] ---
    Okay...
[10:00] ---
    What's with this?
[10:10] ---
    That was amazing...
[10:14] ---
    I tried making it yesterday.
[10:17] ---
    H-Hey!
[10:21] ---
    What the heck is going on here!
[10:28] ---
    Did something happen?
[10:30] ---
    I have a feeling like I heard Lina's voice.
[10:35] ---
    Must be your imagination.
[10:45] ---
    I'm gonna ask him out, this time for sure!
[10:48] ---
    Even if something gets in my way, I don't care.
[10:50] ---
    I've got to get him to promise, then...
[10:53] ---
    But...
[10:55] ---
    Joey!
[10:56] ---
    Hey, Lina.
[10:57] ---
    Um, I want to talk about something.
[10:59] ---
    It'll just take a second. Do you mind?
[11:02] ---
    What? Am I in the way?
[11:04] ---
    Yes. You are.
[11:06] ---
    W-What's with you?
[11:08] ---
    Whatever, just be quiet!
[11:09] ---
    F-Fine, I get it.
[11:11] ---
    Let's go, Joey.
[11:13] ---
    S-Sure...
[11:16] ---
    What time is it?
[11:17] ---
    Um... Three thirty.
[11:21] ---
    Sorry, Lina! I have to
    hurry to my part-time job!
[11:25] ---
    Don't worry. I'll run with you!
[11:28] ---
    B-But...
[11:30] ---
    I'm running with you!
[11:32] ---
    S-Sure...
[11:35] ---
    Then, let's go.
[11:37] ---
    Right.
[11:42] ---
    From Dad?
[11:44] ---
    Hello?
[11:45] ---
    No, I can't.
[11:46] ---
    I'm...
[11:48] ---
    Wait, really?
[11:50] ---
    But...
[11:51] ---
    Sorry, I'm in a hurry.
[11:53] ---
    Wait!
[11:54] ---
    No, I wasn't talking to you.
[12:01] ---
    What in the world is going on?
[12:23] ---
    Joey!
[12:25] ---
    Would you get me another cup of coffee?
[12:27] ---
    Sure!
[12:30] ---
    Could you fill me up as well?
[12:32] ---
    Sure, of course.
[12:37] ---
    Thanks.
[12:37] ---
    No problem.
[12:43] ---
    Not bad. The coffee here is top notch.
[12:46] ---
    Yeah! Best instant coffee you can buy!
[12:49] ---
    What's that?
[12:50] ---
    If you can't taste the difference,
    get outta my store.
[12:52] ---
    Sorry, sorry... Fill 'er up.
[12:57] ---
    Are you also here to help with the reconstruction?
[13:00] ---
    Well, something like that.
[13:02] ---
    The city needs a lot of workers to help
    with the rebuilding and construction.
[13:08] ---
    And thanks to that, I've got a lot more work.
[13:10] ---
    I see. Good for you.
[13:12] ---
    Yes.
[13:13] ---
    By the way, uh...
[13:14] ---
    Joey.
[13:15] ---
    Okay then, Joey.
[13:17] ---
    Have you heard the rumors?
[13:20] ---
    What rumors?
[13:21] ---
    That there's some hero that shows up
[13:24] ---
    and helps with the reconstruction in
    the middle of night, uncalled for.
[13:29] ---
    You know about it?
[13:30] ---
    N-No! I...
[13:32] ---
    Well, maybe it's just some urban legend.
[13:37] ---
    You're investigating those rumors?
[13:41] ---
    No. Just wondering what you
    thought of someone that kind.
[13:46] ---
    I think it's the work of God.
[13:48] ---
    It's been a giant help.
[13:50] ---
    What are you talking about? I
    won't have any work left to do!
[13:57] ---
    I guess I should cut back
    on anything too flashy...
[14:07] ---
    Ready?
[14:09] ---
    Yeah!
[14:13] ---
    Then ready... Start!
[14:16] ---
    Heroman... Go!
[14:39] ---
    Heroman...
[14:42] ---
    Attack!
[14:47] ---
    Okay!
[14:48] ---
    That's enough!
[14:50] ---
    Perfect.
[14:56] ---
    Professor, what's this?
[15:01] ---
    Heroman's power comes from electricity.
[15:04] ---
    Electricity is the origin of magnetism, and
    has the power to attract and repel things.
[15:12] ---
    I think you two have improved
    considerably these past three months.
[15:16] ---
    Plus your teamwork has
    made remarkable progress.
[15:19] ---
    You have some new attacks, too.
[15:21] ---
    Um, since the Skrugg are
    gone, why am I doing this?
[15:26] ---
    What are you saying? The Skrugg aren't
    the only threat to the world, you know.
[15:31] ---
    It's obvious that you must make all
    possible preparations for the next time.
[15:37] ---
    Studying construction is
    more useful to the city...
[15:41] ---
    Like how to pour concrete, or how to
    erect a steel frame foundation...
[15:54] ---
    Professor?
[15:55] ---
    Joey. You're the only one who can use Heroman.
[15:59] ---
    If you don't do it, who will?
[16:11] ---
    I don't want to see Heroman
    like that ever again...
[16:18] ---
    Yeah, that's right.
[16:20] ---
    Yup, and that's that.
[16:25] ---
    Um, Professor Denton...
[16:27] ---
    What is it?
[16:28] ---
    I heard that there are rumors about
    Heroman at my part-time job earlier.
[16:32] ---
    Oh, about the volunteer work
    you're doing at night?
[16:35] ---
    Yeah, well...
[16:37] ---
    Well, the rumors I've heard are that there are
    government types going around investigating.
[16:44] ---
    Well, don't worry.
[16:45] ---
    No one's ever going to think that your
    toy is some hero of justice or anything.
[16:52] ---
    That being said, I recommend that you
    take all precaution in your actions.
[16:57] ---
    Make up your mind.
[17:45] ---
    Sheesh...
[17:51] ---
    Who's that?
[17:57] ---
    Um, hello?
[17:58] ---
    Joey! It's Joey, right?
[17:59] ---
    Y-Yeah!
[18:01] ---
    Sorry about today. My job...
[18:03] ---
    Anyway, where are you right now?
[18:05] ---
    I have something I-
[18:09] ---
    Lina? Lina?
[18:11] ---
    What's the matter?
[18:14] ---
    Lina...
[18:19] ---
    Sheesh...
[18:36] ---
    That was...
[18:37] ---
    Lina!
[18:41] ---
    Quiet down, you!
[18:43] ---
    Sorry about this, little princess.
[18:44] ---
    You stay quiet and we won't
    have to get our hands dirty.
[18:47] ---
    For a little while, anyway...
[18:51] ---
    If you want to hate someone, hate your dad!
[18:53] ---
    We realized he must have been crazy rich after
    he started doin' all that flashy charity work.
[18:58] ---
    It's obvious his daughter
    would be targeted, right?
[19:03] ---
    And that's that.
[19:05] ---
    As soon as your dad coughs up
    the cash we'll go easy on you.
[19:08] ---
    Keep quiet until then.
[19:22] ---
    Who the hell are you?
[19:26] ---
    Joey!
[19:28] ---
    We got a strange one here...
[19:30] ---
    Move outta the way!
[19:33] ---
    Ignoring me?
[19:35] ---
    Fine by me!
[19:41] ---
    What the heck?
[19:42] ---
    Um, Boss...
[19:56] ---
    I-It's a monster!
[19:58] ---
    S-Stay back!
[20:05] ---
    Heroman...
[20:08] ---
    Attack!
[20:18] ---
    Lina... Lina!
[20:25] ---
    It's okay now.
[20:28] ---
    Joey...
[20:30] ---
    Joey!
[20:32] ---
    Lina!
[20:33] ---
    I was scared...
[20:37] ---
    But, I knew you would come for me...
[20:51] ---
    Thanks. Here is fine.
[20:53] ---
    Then, I'll be going.
[20:55] ---
    Right.
[20:57] ---
    Joey!
[21:00] ---
    Thanks for today.
[21:04] ---
    Good night, Lina.
[21:11] ---
    I forgot to ask him out on a date!
[21:22] ---
    Why can't I say it?
[21:24] ---
    It's such a simple thing...
[21:28] ---
    Would you like to go out somewhere
    together on Sunday, Joey?
[21:35] ---
    U-Um... You forgot...
[21:40] ---
    And that's how we finally
    promised to go out on a date!
[21:48] ---
    What did we do?
[21:50] ---
    We're the victims!
[21:51] ---
    We were attacked by a monster!
[21:53] ---
    Let me go!
[21:54] ---
    We didn't do anything wrong!
[21:56] ---
    We got you on illegal possession
    of firearms, at least!
[21:58] ---
    Those aren't ours!
[21:59] ---
    Give us a break!
[22:04] ---
    This is Special Agent Hughes.
[22:08] ---
    Reporting to the President.
[22:12] ---
    The Ghost... is real.
[22:20] [SONG] ---
    "Can you hear this voice?"
[22:24] [SONG] ---
    I've been calling that, always, from deep within my heart.
[22:34] [SONG] ---
    Would you, all alone, let another lonely one be next to you?
[22:45] [SONG] ---
    Because together it's not lonely, it's twoly.
[22:51] [SONG] ---
    See, you're not alone any longer.
[22:57] [SONG] ---
    Just because there's no one next to me
[22:59] [SONG] ---
    doesn't mean that I'm lonely!
[23:02] [SONG] ---
    For someone to notice this pain
[23:07] [SONG] ---
    that heart must have surely cried.
[23:13] [SONG] ---
    Right now, we'll crush to bits
[23:16] [SONG] ---
    the fortress of our limitless sadness!
[23:20] [SONG] ---
    I'll take you with me!
[23:24] [SONG] ---
    Got it? I'm running through at full power.
[23:27] [SONG] ---
    To where you're waiting, left behind
[23:31] [SONG] ---
    in the place of tears...
[23:35] [SONG] ---
    I believe in you, with burning passion!
[23:39] [SONG] ---
    Come to me!
[23:50] ---
    On the next Heroman:
[23:52] ---
    What is everyone out there most afraid of?
[23:55] ---
    For me... For me...
[23:58] ---
    Hughes's investigation is
    getting closer to the truth,
[24:01] ---
    but Joey has bigger problems than that.
[24:05] ---
    With the entrance of, in Joey's view, the
    greatest evil of all, Joey shudders and weeps in fear!
[24:12] ---
    Next time on Heroman #11: Menace.
[24:15] ---
    Heroman... Attack!
