[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.
[01:31] ---
    Lina, get back!
[01:32] ---
    Right!
[01:39] ---
    Joey!
[01:40] ---
    Right.
[01:52] ---
    Heroman...
[01:55] ---
    Go!
[02:04] ---
    Huh?
[02:09] ---
    Joey, where's Heroman?
[02:11] ---
    Heroman... Go!
[02:14] ---
    Go, go, go!
[02:17] ---
    He's not coming?
[02:19] ---
    Doesn't look like it...
[02:22] ---
    Here they come!
[02:28] ---
    Get over there!
[02:29] ---
    What about you, Joey?
[02:30] ---
    Hurry up while I distract them!
[02:33] ---
    Right!
[02:34] ---
    We're counting on you!
[02:39] ---
    Over here!
[02:40] ---
    Here!
[02:43] ---
    That's right, come here!
[03:10] ---
    That'll do.
[03:23] ---
    Joey, nice work.
[03:25] ---
    Dr. Ravi, what's happening on this island?
[03:30] ---
    Yeah...
[03:32] ---
    I guess there's no point
    trying to hide it now.
[03:35] ---
    Just like you heard, this is an uninhabited
    island owned by the government.
[03:40] ---
    It's officially billed as an R&R spot for
    high-level personnel, but that's just a front.
[03:46] ---
    A branch of the military is using it for
    their own biological weapons research.
[03:50] ---
    Since it's an uninhabited island,
[03:52] ---
    we were doing experiments that were way too
    dangerous to even think about normally.
[03:56] ---
    This monster is part of that research.
[03:59] ---
    Why were you doing something like that?
[04:01] ---
    If the research was successful, we'd have
    a weapon more powerful than nukes!
[04:05] ---
    This plant has an incredible
    regeneration ability,
[04:09] ---
    and can move in ways that are
    beyond our comprehension.
[04:12] ---
    Our research was to extract out that
    ability, and to make it useful for the military.
[04:18] ---
    The experiment went well.
[04:21] ---
    Or perhaps, too well.
[04:24] ---
    And that's when the accident happened.
[04:26] ---
    Yes, that's right.
[04:29] ---
    The regeneration jumped to
    unexpected levels, and...
[04:34] ---
    ...we became unable to control it.
[04:37] ---
    It may only be a few more hours until this
    entire island is covered in those vines!
[04:43] ---
    So we've got to head to the airstrip!
[04:45] ---
    Hurry and get off of the island!
[04:47] ---
    What about everyone else?
[04:49] ---
    Like Psy and Miss Collins...
[04:51] ---
    I think I said to head
    to the airstrip earlier.
[04:54] ---
    That's what they're doing, probably...
[04:55] ---
    And what if they aren't?
[04:59] ---
    I'm sorry, but in that case...
[05:00] ---
    I cannot run away and leave
    Heroman and the others behind!
[05:04] ---
    This isn't the time to be
    worrying about others!
[05:07] ---
    We're up against an out-of-control
    military weapon!
[05:09] ---
    Is there a way to defeat those vines?
[05:12] ---
    I won't run. I will fight!
[05:14] ---
    Tell me!
[05:20] ---
    The plant's energy source is probably the
    power generator in the research lab.
[05:27] ---
    If you can destroy the core
    that absorbs the energy,
[05:30] ---
    then you should be able to stop the growth.
[05:32] ---
    The core?
[05:33] ---
    And where is that?
[05:35] ---
    Its roots are in the laboratory,
    and it's making a giant trunk.
[05:39] ---
    The crystal in the center is the core.
[05:43] ---
    Understood.
[05:44] ---
    Let's go, Lina.
[05:46] ---
    Right.
[05:47] ---
    Hey, I'll come too!
[05:52] ---
    So, what do you plan to do, Joey?
[05:55] ---
    First I'll find where Heroman is.
[05:57] ---
    But, how?
[05:59] ---
    He didn't come when you
    called before, right?
[06:01] ---
    We'll climb up to a place with
    a view of the entire island.
[06:07] ---
    Are you sure about this?
[06:08] ---
    About what?
[06:09] ---
    About him...
[06:11] ---
    I've heard that you fought the Skrugg,
    but this, um... Fantasticman...
[06:17] ---
    Heroman!
[06:19] ---
    But Heroman isn't here...
[06:22] ---
    Don't worry.
[06:23] ---
    How can you be so confident?
[06:25] ---
    Because Joey is my hero.
[06:30] ---
    Hero, huh?
[06:43] ---
    Heroman, where did you go?
[06:46] ---
    I knew it... I'm nervous
    when you're not around.
[06:50] ---
    But I have to stay strong, or the
    other two will be even more scared.
[06:56] ---
    I've got to do my best...
[06:59] ---
    Heroman, I don't know
    what's happened to you.
[07:03] ---
    But, if you're in some sort of
    trouble, I'll do something about it.
[07:07] ---
    You can count on it!
[07:16] ---
    Is someone there?
[07:18] ---
    Miss Collins?
[07:19] ---
    Psy?
[07:25] ---
    What's that?
[07:27] ---
    Were you studying things other than plants?
[07:30] ---
    That's just a crab.
[07:32] ---
    They're big, but they've
    always lived here...
[07:35] ---
    They're related to hermit crabs.
[07:43] ---
    A crab...
[07:44] ---
    Oh...
[07:49] ---
    Shoot! I have to stay strong!
[07:56] ---
    Hey, can't you hear something?
[07:59] ---
    It's just another crab.
[08:04] ---
    Help...
[08:06] ---
    See? That's a person's voice.
[08:09] ---
    Is someone there?
[08:11] ---
    Help... Please...
[08:15] ---
    Are you okay?
[08:16] ---
    No, wait!
[08:17] ---
    Look carefully...
[08:18] ---
    That's not human.
[08:29] ---
    Come... here...
[08:32] ---
    The vines are speaking?
[08:34] ---
    The vines are rubbing together
    and mimicking human voice!
[08:38] ---
    Don't go!
[08:39] ---
    Here it comes!
[08:40] ---
    Run!
[08:49] ---
    What incredible learning ability!
[08:52] ---
    In such a short time, and
    without any vocal cords,
[08:54] ---
    it's managed to mimic human voice! Amazing!
[08:57] ---
    If it continues to learn at this rate,
    it'll be beyond anyone's control!
[09:02] ---
    Don't talk like it's someone else's problem!
[09:03] ---
    This is all because of...
[09:07] ---
    Vines again?
[09:08] ---
    No! That's Miss Collins's voice!
[09:14] ---
    Stop! No! You mustn't!
[09:17] ---
    You mustn't!
[09:18] ---
    Miss Collins!
[09:19] ---
    You mustn't!
[09:21] ---
    You mustn't!
[09:23] ---
    Are you okay?
[09:24] ---
    No, I'm not okay!
[09:26] ---
    This is an island of giants!
[09:28] ---
    These crabs were always this big.
[09:31] ---
    They're bigger than the
    lobsters in Center City!
[09:35] ---
    My sandal!
[09:36] ---
    Hey!
[09:37] ---
    I just bought them, and
    only used them this once!
[09:41] ---
    They're my favorite from this year's new
    lineup, and they were really expensive...
[09:46] ---
    Miss Collins... Have you seen
    Professor Denton or Psy?
[09:51] ---
    No. I thought they were with you.
[09:54] ---
    Um, I'd like you to help us with something.
[10:06] ---
    We climbed all the way up here,
[10:08] ---
    but you won't be able to
    see anything in the dark.
[10:11] ---
    Actually, dark will do perfectly.
[10:16] ---
    Heroman... Attack!
[10:27] ---
    No use?
[10:33] ---
    There he is. Over there.
[10:36] ---
    You're right!
[10:37] ---
    Finally found you.
[10:40] ---
    All right!
[10:43] ---
    Electricity?
[10:45] ---
    I see. So that's it.
[10:50] ---
    Is this the right way?
[10:51] ---
    The light from before was
    over by the waterfall.
[10:54] ---
    Don't worry, we're on the right path.
[11:05] ---
    Heroman!
[11:09] ---
    Heroman!
[11:29] ---
    Heroman!
[11:31] ---
    Heroman!
[11:42] ---
    Captain Hero has been...
[11:44] ---
    It's Heroman!
[11:46] ---
    We've got to save him!
[11:47] ---
    But how?
[11:49] ---
    No matter how strong he is, he'll
    never break free of those vines.
[11:54] ---
    If power alone won't work...
[11:57] ---
    Heroman... Blast!
[12:15] ---
    It's...
[12:17] ---
    ...absorbing the energy...
[12:24] ---
    That attack is dangerous!
[12:26] ---
    It's giving the thing energy!
[12:29] ---
    Able to stretch like a rubber band,
    and able to absorb energy...
[12:35] ---
    Thanks to that, Heroman can't move.
[12:40] ---
    Everyone, stand back!
[12:41] ---
    Joey!
[12:42] ---
    Leave this to him.
[12:44] ---
    What are you going to do?
[12:47] ---
    I'm going to save Heroman, no matter what!
[12:51] ---
    Ever since I met him, Heroman has been
    by my side, always there to save me...
[13:00] ---
    Always, always...
[13:03] ---
    So, this time...
[13:06] ---
    It's my turn!
[13:12] ---
    How?
[13:13] ---
    How should I save him?
[13:24] ---
    What should I do?
[13:25] ---
    I can only get close for a second.
[13:27] ---
    At this rate Heroman's energy
    will be completely absorbed!
[13:32] ---
    That's it!
[13:33] ---
    Energy!
[13:37] ---
    Heroman...
[13:39] ---
    Disengage!
[13:51] ---
    Joey!
[13:53] ---
    Guess that worked.
[13:59] ---
    You made him small.
[14:01] ---
    Yup.
[14:02] ---
    Hey!
[14:04] ---
    We've been looking everywhere.
[14:06] ---
    Is everyone here?
[14:08] ---
    Professor Denton, Psy!
[14:10] ---
    How did you know we were here?
[14:12] ---
    We figured that Heroman would end
    up cuttin' loose at some point.
[14:16] ---
    So we used the electric bolts
    from Heroman as a landmark.
[14:20] ---
    Thank goodness.
[14:21] ---
    I'm so glad everyone is safe.
[14:24] ---
    Yeah...
[14:25] ---
    Okay, buddy! You've got
    some explaining to do!
[14:29] ---
    Psy, I'll explain while we're
    heading to the research lab.
[14:33] ---
    Research lab?
[14:40] ---
    So that's...
[14:41] ---
    Yeah.
[14:42] ---
    It's the research lab where
    the thing's core is.
[14:45] ---
    It's crawling in vines...
[14:47] ---
    Heroman and I will go.
[14:50] ---
    Everyone else, wait here.
[14:51] ---
    I'll come too.
[14:54] ---
    Only I can open the lock
    to the room with the core.
[14:57] ---
    And I feel like you guys might
    be able to pull it off...
[15:02] ---
    Glad to have you with us.
[15:03] ---
    Don't get separated.
[15:06] ---
    Understood.
[15:07] ---
    Be careful.
[15:09] ---
    Break a leg.
[15:10] ---
    Right.
[15:12] ---
    I'm counting on you, Heroman.
[15:23] ---
    Why aren't they attacking?
[15:26] ---
    I don't know.
[15:27] ---
    Could it be a trap?
[15:28] ---
    Impossible.
[15:29] ---
    These things shouldn't
    be that intelligent...
[15:50] ---
    Um, Mister Giant, you can get in this way...
[15:56] ---
    His name is Heroman!
[15:58] ---
    Take a left up there.
[15:59] ---
    There's stairs farther in!
[16:04] ---
    Heroman, here!
[16:06] ---
    The stairs are this way.
[16:08] ---
    The elevator isn't going to work
    for someone as heavy as him.
[16:11] ---
    Who said we were taking the elevator?
[16:15] ---
    But the power generator
    is in the tenth basement!
[16:28] ---
    Nice work...
[16:47] ---
    I knew it! It's waiting for us!
[16:50] ---
    This is...
[16:52] ---
    Dr. Ravi, that's the core, right?
[16:56] ---
    Yes! The crystal shining in
    the center of the trunk!
[17:02] ---
    Save me!
[17:08] ---
    What?
[17:24] ---
    What the heck is that?
[17:29] ---
    It copied Heroman?
[17:33] ---
    That name of the demon is Shapeshifter.
[17:36] ---
    Just as the name says, it
    can change its form at will.
[17:40] ---
    And it shows itself as the thing
    the people it curses fear the most.
[17:43] ---
    Shapeshifter...
[17:59] ---
    Their movements are the same?
[18:12] ---
    Heroman, be careful!
[18:14] ---
    If you get caught by those vines,
    you won't be able to move again!
[18:25] ---
    Now! Hit the crystal!
[18:31] ---
    If we can destroy it...
[18:37] ---
    It regenerated! And now there are three!
[18:46] ---
    Heroman!
[19:08] ---
    Oh, no!
[19:23] ---
    Heroman...
[19:24] ---
    Disengage!
[19:34] ---
    Heroman... Engage!
[19:38] ---
    Go!
[19:43] ---
    Heroman... Finish!
[20:37] ---
    Did they do it?
[20:39] ---
    They did it!
[20:41] ---
    Looks like it.
[20:43] ---
    We're saved, somehow...
[20:46] ---
    It's over...
[21:10] ---
    This was one crazy vacation.
[21:13] ---
    It's never a dull day around
    you, Joey, that's for sure.
[21:18] ---
    Sorry...
[21:20] ---
    Hey, this isn't Joey's fault.
[21:23] ---
    And anyway, I never would have gotten
    to swim at such a wonderful beach.
[21:28] ---
    Yes, you are correct!
[21:30] ---
    Looks like the government
    owes you guys even more now.
[21:35] ---
    I'm really sorry.
[21:37] ---
    In two hours a helicopter
    should be here to pick us up.
[21:41] ---
    Two hours?
[21:43] ---
    Then I can go for another swim!
[21:46] ---
    Miss Collins, wait for me!
[21:53] ---
    Those vines...
[21:56] ---
    Hey, Joey!
[21:58] ---
    Let's go!
[22:01] ---
    Sure!
[22:02] ---
    Hurry up!
[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!
[23:50] ---
    On the next Heroman:
[23:52] ---
    Sis, I'm begging you, stop!
[23:56] ---
    What did you say?
[23:57] ---
    Well, obviously.
[23:59] ---
    Because you're a pain.
[24:00] ---
    Mysterious abductions begin
    happening one after another.
[24:02] ---
    Soon, even Denton goes missing.
[24:06] ---
    In order to solve the riddle,
    Joey, Psy, and Holly...
[24:12] ---
    Next time on Heroman #20: Missing.
[24:15] ---
    Heroman... Attack!
