**[00:05] [SONG] ---**
I tried coming alone to our usual park.
**[00:13] [SONG] ---**
It's a feeling I've never felt.
**[00:16] [SONG] ---**
Like a child, frightened by the sound of the wind
**[00:21] [SONG] ---**
I ran back along the path home.
**[00:27] [SONG] ---**
The sky outside the window is too vast. Where are you now?
**[00:34] [SONG] ---**
Please, may this reach you...
**[00:38] [SONG] ---**
Dear Lord, if you ever grant wishes,
**[00:44] [SONG] ---**
grant my wish right now, please!
**[00:50] [SONG] ---**
I want to hear your voice, I miss you! I want to see you now!
**[00:56] [SONG] ---**
Why must you already be looking toward tomorrow?
**[01:00] [SONG] ---**
Don't just brush it off, saying the time has slipped by.
**[01:06] [SONG] ---**
Once more...
**[01:08] [SONG] ---**
I love you, and yet it's been too late since long ago.
**[01:14] [SONG] ---**
Even if I give up, it can't be like the past.
**[01:19] [SONG] ---**
Don't just decide so simply there's no way, no choice.
**[01:24] [SONG] ---**
Smile once more.
**[01:39] ---**
Come on, everyone!
**[01:41] ---**
Hurry up, hurry up!
**[01:43] ---**
Hold up!
**[01:47] ---**
Ms. Collins, you musn't dash out like that!
**[01:58] ---**
Come on, Heroman! Come on in!
**[02:19] ---**
I guess it was for the best?
**[02:21] ---**
Yeah, why not?
**[02:23] ---**
Can't help it now that she's seen him.
**[02:26] ---**
Yeah. It seems like she
was a big Heroman fan.
**[02:31] ---**
Yup.
**[02:32] ---**
And I bet she'd be more useful than
the Professor when the chips are down.
**[02:37] ---**
When it comes to school...
**[02:39] ---**
Well, I suppose so...
**[02:41] ---**
Joey!
**[02:45] ---**
Come on, Joey, Psy!
**[02:48] ---**
Let's go for a swim together!
**[02:51] ---**
Sure, I'll be right there!
**[03:03] ---**
Well, we still have Will to deal with.
Can't blame you for being concerned.
**[03:14] ---**
But that is that, and this is this.
**[03:17] ---**
The beach, swimsuits, Lina!
**[03:20] ---**
What else do you need, man?
**[03:23] ---**
You should have fun when
it's time to have fun.
**[03:26] ---**
Your body ain't gonna hold
up otherwise, you know?
**[03:30] ---**
You sure it's okay?
**[03:32] ---**
Yes! You have permission to have fun!
**[03:35] ---**
That's an order!
**[03:44] ---**
Hey!
**[03:45] ---**
It feels good!
**[03:47] ---**
Hurry up, hurry up!
**[03:59] ---**
We've all come to a southern island.
**[04:03] ---**
Mr. Hughes arranged for us all to go to
this government owned, uninhabited island!
**[04:10] ---**
And, with no other people
on the island to worry about,
**[04:13] ---**
we're having a lot of fun here with Heroman.
**[04:35] ---**
Honestly... I'm really enjoying myself.
**[04:49] ---**
This stuff's good!
**[04:53] ---**
Yum!
**[05:20] ---**
But yeah, I'm surprised the
government has an island like this.
**[05:24] ---**
Honestly. They say the
world's in a recession,
**[05:28] ---**
but I guess that only
applies to certain places.
**[05:31] ---**
If those funds could have been
used for my research instead...
**[05:36] ---**
But thanks to this, we're
finally able to have fun
**[05:38] ---**
without worry about anything.
**[05:43] ---**
What, you're satisfied already?
**[05:47] ---**
But the fun...
**[05:49] ---**
...has only begun!
**[05:58] ---**
What are you planning on doing, Psy?
**[06:01] ---**
Not some freaky ceremony or something, right?
**[06:04] ---**
After the beach, swimsuits, and a
barbecue, this comes next, right?
**[06:08] ---**
Just to clarify... What
are you talking about?
**[06:11] ---**
Isn't it obvious?
**[06:12] ---**
Ghost stories, man! Ghost stories!
**[06:20] ---**
It's a story I heard from one of the
NIA staff on the charter plane here.
**[06:28] ---**
Before the government bought this
island, it wasn't uninhabited.
**[06:32] ---**
There were definitely people living here.
**[06:38] ---**
The reason that those people
vanished from this island,
**[06:43] ---**
is because of a legend long told here...
**[06:45] ---**
The curse of the demon!
**[06:52] ---**
They say that anyone who
sets eyes on the demon,
**[06:55] ---**
will meet with death soon
afterwards, no matter what.
**[06:58] ---**
And that's what began happening.
**[07:03] ---**
With the growing number of victims,
**[07:05] ---**
the inhabitants of the island
were faced with two choices.
**[07:09] ---**
Get cursed and throw away their lives,
**[07:12] ---**
or abandon the island...
**[07:15] ---**
So that's why this island is...
**[07:17] ---**
Yeah. Everyone's gone.
**[07:21] ---**
Except for the demon, that is!
**[07:30] ---**
Hey, come on Professor.
The story's just started.
**[07:35] ---**
Can't you even handle this?
**[07:39] ---**
I'm fine, obviously.
**[07:41] ---**
Who do you think you're talking to?
**[07:43] ---**
I am a self-styled child of science!
**[07:45] ---**
Worry not about me, and continue.
**[07:48] ---**
Professor, behind you! Behind you!
**[07:51] ---**
What?!
**[08:03] ---**
The demon always appears on
hot, humid nights like tonight.
**[08:13] ---**
Calm down, would you?
**[08:16] ---**
It's the right humidity, but
it only shows up on windy days.
**[08:20] ---**
No need to be worried.
**[08:21] ---**
Um, Psy...
**[08:24] ---**
What is it?
**[08:25] ---**
When you say windy... You
mean windy like it is, now?
**[08:33] ---**
Yeah... About like this, probably.
**[08:42] ---**
It'll be okay, Mr. Denton. This story
is a work of fiction, after all.
**[08:47] ---**
R-R-R-R-R-Right...
**[08:50] ---**
Yeah. And it's not like the lights
are turning on and off for no reason,
**[08:54] ---**
or we're hearing rumbling sounds
from far away... So, no worries.
**[09:07] ---**
The lights are turning on and off...
**[09:10] ---**
And there's a rumbling sound from far away...
**[09:13] ---**
W-W-W-W-W-W-What's this mean, Psy?
**[09:16] ---**
How should I know?
**[09:18] ---**
I just heard about it, is all...
**[09:21] ---**
How does the story continue?
**[09:22] ---**
What is the name of the demon?
**[09:30] ---**
That name of the demon is...
**[09:35] ---**
Shapeshifter...
**[09:38] ---**
Just as the name says, it
can change its form at will.
**[09:41] ---**
And it shows itself as the thing the
people it curses fear the most.
**[09:46] ---**
In front of the most fearful
person in the village,
**[09:49] ---**
from the darkness on the
other side of the door...
**[10:12] ---**
Calm down, Mr. Denton!
**[10:16] ---**
W-W-What's happening?
**[10:18] ---**
There shouldn't be anyone on this island!
**[10:21] ---**
H-H-Heroman... A-A-A...
**[10:24] ---**
Calm down everyone.
**[10:34] ---**
I said, calm down!
**[10:40] ---**
There's something not right about this.
**[10:41] ---**
That's why everyone's scared!
**[10:45] ---**
No! I mean the story is too good to be true.
**[10:49] ---**
What do you mean?
**[10:51] ---**
You said you heard this ghost story
from a person from the NIA, right?
**[10:55] ---**
Yeah, but...
**[10:58] ---**
Then that must be it.
**[11:00] ---**
What must be it?
**[11:02] ---**
S-S-S-So-So-So...
**[11:04] ---**
We're being set up by
that person from the NIA.
**[11:07] ---**
Candid camera, you know?
**[11:11] ---**
Candid camera?
**[11:12] ---**
Otherwise this story
matches up way too close.
**[11:15] ---**
It's going exactly as Psy's story said.
**[11:18] ---**
I bet when we open this door,
they'll be all like "surprise!"
**[11:22] ---**
And Joey's friends will come rushing in.
**[11:26] ---**
You're going to open it?
**[11:27] ---**
Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-You're going to open it?
**[11:31] ---**
It'll be fine!
**[11:32] ---**
Here. Surprise!
**[11:51] ---**
Run.
**[11:52] ---**
Huh? What?
**[11:56] ---**
Everyone... Run for your lives!
**[12:11] ---**
Everyone... Run for your lives!
**[12:21] ---**
He's injured...
**[12:24] ---**
Be careful when you move him.
**[12:25] ---**
Mr. Denton, get the first-aid kit.
**[12:27] ---**
R-Right...
**[12:55] ---**
Where am I?
**[12:56] ---**
Don't worry. This is the
lodge. There's no danger.
**[13:01] ---**
No! It'll be here soon!
**[13:04] ---**
Stay still!
**[13:05] ---**
The others must have already evacuated.
**[13:08] ---**
You're the only ones left on the island...
**[13:12] ---**
Don't push yourself.
**[13:14] ---**
Push myself?
**[13:16] ---**
We have to get out of
here. Everyone, right now!
**[13:20] ---**
We'll all be wiped out!
**[13:22] ---**
Wiped out?
**[13:23] ---**
What's that supposed to mean, buddy?
**[13:25] ---**
Please explain.
**[13:29] ---**
We had... an accident...
**[13:34] ---**
An accident?
**[13:35] ---**
I can't say any more!
**[13:37] ---**
Anyway, right now we...
**[13:38] ---**
Wait. If you are also a scientist,
you should explain the situation!
**[13:46] ---**
Tell us the truth.
**[13:49] ---**
I understand.
**[13:50] ---**
But I'll do it on the
way. Hurry and get ready!
**[13:56] ---**
Fine with us.
**[14:01] ---**
Hurry everyone.
**[14:13] ---**
We're good.
**[14:15] ---**
Up we go.
**[14:21] ---**
You're the one I've heard about?
**[14:25] ---**
Yes?
**[14:27] ---**
This guy is really strong, right?
**[14:31] ---**
Y-Yes, he is!
**[14:33] ---**
I see.
**[14:35] ---**
That better be true, or else...
**[14:37] ---**
Or else...
**[14:40] ---**
Okay, let's go.
**[14:49] ---**
That noise...
**[14:53] ---**
We're too late?
**[14:56] ---**
Move away from the door!
**[15:06] ---**
What the hell is this?
**[15:11] ---**
Heroman...
**[15:14] ---**
Attack!
**[15:22] ---**
Heroman!
**[15:28] ---**
Everyone!
**[15:29] ---**
Lina!
**[16:14] ---**
Where am I?
**[16:17] ---**
Where is everyone?
**[16:21] ---**
Heroman! Everyone!
**[16:34] ---**
Lina!
**[17:11] ---**
Lina!
**[17:22] ---**
Lina... Lina. Lina!
**[17:33] ---**
Lina!
**[17:40] ---**
Everything's all right now, Lina.
**[17:55] ---**
Lina... Lina!
**[17:59] ---**
Lina!
**[18:45] ---**
Joey?
**[18:46] ---**
Y-You're okay?
**[18:51] ---**
I...
**[18:53] ---**
You saved me?
**[18:55] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:25] ---**
What's the matter?
**[19:27] ---**
Oh, it's nothing...
**[19:30] ---**
Looks like I got saved by you again, Joey.
**[19:32] ---**
No!
**[19:34] ---**
You didn't really...
**[19:36] ---**
Thanks.
**[19:40] ---**
Hey, Joey...
**[19:44] ---**
I wonder where everyone went?
**[19:51] ---**
Oh, it's nothing. I'll go look for them soon.
**[19:56] ---**
You wait here, Lina.
**[19:57] ---**
No, I'm okay.
**[19:59] ---**
Take me with you.
**[20:02] ---**
But...
**[20:04] ---**
I want to be with you, Joey. So... okay?
**[20:13] ---**
Okay.
**[20:34] ---**
Let's go.
**[20:35] ---**
Yeah...
**[20:51] ---**
I wonder what in the world happened?
**[20:54] ---**
I don't really know. We were
suddenly attacked, and then...
**[20:58] ---**
...everyone got split up.
**[21:03] ---**
But I think everyone should be fine.
**[21:05] ---**
That scientist told us
to head to the airfield,
**[21:08] ---**
so I bet that's what they're all doing.
**[21:11] ---**
I sure hope so.
**[21:13] ---**
Yeah...
**[21:19] ---**
W-Who is it?
**[21:21] ---**
Is somebody there?
**[21:28] ---**
It's you... You were safe?
**[21:32] ---**
That voice...
**[21:34] ---**
It's me.
**[21:36] ---**
I'm the one you saved earlier.
**[21:45] ---**
My name is Ravi, thanks.
**[21:47] ---**
I'm Joseph Jones.
**[21:51] ---**
It's too bad...
**[21:54] ---**
It looks like it's too early to relax!
**[22:03] ---**
Lina, stay back!
**[22:04] ---**
Right!
**[22:06] ---**
We're through!
**[22:29] [SONG] ---**
I want to get to know you better,
**[22:32] [SONG] ---**
to go at each other with our true feelings.
**[22:35] [SONG] ---**
Your tears and smile are both here.
**[22:42] [SONG] ---**
No matter how hard it is, I won't be scared any more.
**[22:46] [SONG] ---**
With both of us, we can go anywhere.
**[22:49] [SONG] ---**
Since you're the one who taught me that I'm not alone.
**[22:54] [SONG] ---**
Every time I mutter the words "I was born to meet you"
**[23:03] [SONG] ---**
my unease disappears, and my heart burns stronger.
**[23:07] [SONG] ---**
Thank you. We'll go on together with a sign only we understand.
**[23:14] [SONG] ---**
Carve out this irreplaceable time!
**[23:20] [SONG] ---**
I can't move away from here.
**[23:23] [SONG] ---**
Because I live feeling the same heartbeat.
**[23:28] [SONG] ---**
I want to protect you to the very last,
**[23:30] [SONG] ---**
to protect the promise built up.
**[23:33] [SONG] ---**
Thank you. We'll go on together with a sign only we understand.
**[23:40] [SONG] ---**
We are carving out this irreplaceable time!
**[23:51] ---**
On the next Heroman:
**[23:53] ---**
Heroman, I'll save you! Count on it!
**[23:57] ---**
It's a biohazard where plants have been
transformed into living, willful weapons.
**[24:02] ---**
The party has been split
up thanks to its attack.
**[24:06] ---**
In order to set things in order,
**[24:08] ---**
Joey and Heroman head toward
the center of the island.
**[24:12] ---**
Next time on Heroman #19: Survival!
**[24:15] ---**
Heroman... Attack!
**[24:18] ---**
