**[01:35] ---**
Oh, my goodness!
**[01:43] ---**
Sure is quiet...
**[01:44] ---**
It doesn't look like there's any of those guys around.
**[01:47] ---**
Joey, look at that!
**[01:53] ---**
What is that monstrous mushroom?
**[01:58] ---**
Hey, Psy... Let's hurry to the emergency shelter.
**[02:02] ---**
Who knows when they'll come again.
**[02:04] ---**
Yeah. That sounds like a good idea.
**[02:13] ---**
All right, let's go.
**[02:15] ---**
Hey, Will, this is kinda...
**[02:17] ---**
Episode #4 Sphere
**[02:24] ---**
Lord Kogorr, our forces have finished withdrawing.
**[02:28] ---**
Although it is only a trifle, we have suffered some small losses.
**[02:33] ---**
They try and resist, but it is futile.
**[02:35] ---**
Now, proceed to the second stage of the plan!
**[02:39] ---**
Yes, Lord.
**[02:54] ---**
It's a lot bigger than it looks from afar.
**[02:58] ---**
Where can we get in?
**[03:00] ---**
That's what we're going to look for now.
**[03:04] ---**
Hey, don't you think maybe we should go back?
**[03:07] ---**
You want to go back? Then go by yourself.
**[03:10] ---**
I didn't mean...
**[03:14] ---**
What is it?
**[03:43] ---**
Hey, Will...
**[03:45] ---**
What are you planning on doing?
**[03:48] ---**
I told you, remember? We're going to be the heroes.
**[03:52] ---**
I think we're already plenty good heroes sneaking into the enemy's base...
**[03:57] ---**
That's not good enough!
**[03:59] ---**
Then what is?
**[04:02] ---**
You want to know?
**[04:07] ---**
We're going to steal their weapons!
**[04:10] ---**
Then we'll take them all down!
**[04:13] ---**
That's impossible!
**[04:15] ---**
No, it's not!
**[04:16] ---**
We've made it all the way here, after all.
**[04:19] ---**
Uh...
**[04:28] ---**
Here.
**[04:28] ---**
Thank you.
**[04:31] ---**
Joey!
**[04:33] ---**
Lina!
**[04:34] ---**
Thank goodness, you're safe!
**[04:37] ---**
Yeah! Grandma's safe, too.
**[04:39] ---**
Hello!
**[04:40] ---**
Hello, my dear.
**[04:42] ---**
Lina, where's the Professor?
**[04:44] ---**
Professor Denton went back to the school a little while ago.
**[04:48] ---**
Let's go.
**[04:49] ---**
I'm sure the Professor knows something.
**[04:51] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:53] ---**
Grandma, I'm going back out for a bit.
**[04:57] ---**
Wait a second!
**[05:00] ---**
Do you know where Nick and my brother are?
**[05:02] ---**
I haven't seen them around here for a while.
**[05:05] ---**
Will and Nick?
**[05:09] ---**
Where are you planning on going?
**[05:10] ---**
I'll never accept someone like *you* being a hero!
**[05:15] ---**
I sure hope that guy isn't doing anything reckless...
**[05:19] ---**
Will...
**[05:21] ---**
I'm sure he's fine.
**[05:22] ---**
We'll look for him later.
**[05:25] ---**
Thank you.
**[05:27] ---**
First comes the Professor.
**[05:29] ---**
Come on, Joey.
**[05:30] ---**
Right.
**[05:31] ---**
Joey, be careful!
**[05:33] ---**
I know!
**[05:41] ---**
Professor Denton!
**[05:44] ---**
Oh, it's you two.
**[05:46] ---**
What are you doing at a time like this?
**[05:49] ---**
Now is *exactly* the time to do this!
**[05:51] ---**
Take a look at this.
**[05:53] ---**
That's...
**[05:54] ---**
...one of the alien's weapons!
**[05:56] ---**
Exactly!
**[05:58] ---**
It was tossed aside from the wreckage of one of the ones your robot defeated.
**[06:02] ---**
It's hyper-advanced technology the defies description!
**[06:05] ---**
With this I can understand why the military was completely useless.
**[06:10] ---**
How do you figure that?
**[06:12] ---**
Anyway, it's amazing!
**[06:15] ---**
I can't even put it into words to explain!
**[06:17] ---**
In other words, you don't really understand.
**[06:20] ---**
Well, this is all basically my fault.
**[06:23] ---**
Each time some part of this city was destroyed,
**[06:26] ---**
I felt my heart be torn more and more to shreds!
**[06:29] ---**
However!
**[06:30] ---**
That is exactly why I can't run away from this!
**[06:33] ---**
In order to atone for the sins I have committed, I must act!
**[06:38] ---**
These are my true feelings!
**[06:41] ---**
So then, Joey...
**[06:43] ---**
Uh, yes?
**[06:45] ---**
That robot of yours... It's called, "Heroman," yes?
**[06:48] ---**
Would you let me disassemble it?
**[06:51] ---**
N-No!
**[06:53] ---**
But if I can uncover how that robot operates, we can fight back against them!
**[06:59] ---**
It'd greatly increase our offensive potential...
**[07:01] ---**
Whatever, Professor!
**[07:03] ---**
Have you figured anything out about them?
**[07:06] ---**
Well, you see...
**[07:08] ---**
I understand, but I don't really understand...
**[07:11] ---**
Well, there's *some* things I've figured out...
**[07:13] ---**
Um, can you cut to the chase here?
**[07:18] ---**
Oh?
**[07:19] ---**
Fine then.
**[07:22] ---**
They are called the Skrugg.
**[07:24] ---**
From their outward appearance,
**[07:26] ---**
I could imagine them as some sort of evolved form of cockroach.
**[07:30] ---**
However!
**[07:32] ---**
They possess incredible technology based on science that human beings have yet to even imagine!
**[07:40] ---**
And...?
**[07:41] ---**
And?
**[07:42] ---**
And what?
**[07:43] ---**
Do they have a weak point or something?
**[07:45] ---**
Are they weak against germs?
**[07:47] ---**
Or can't stand the cold?
**[07:49] ---**
You expect me to determine that kind of thing in such a short time?
**[07:55] ---**
In other words, you haven't figured anything out.
**[07:59] ---**
It's true that everything's full of mysteries right now.
**[08:03] ---**
But there is one thing I know.
**[08:06] ---**
The strength to surpass the overwhelming power of the Skrugg...
**[08:10] ---**
...is possessed by Heroman.
**[08:15] ---**
Heroman holds the key to this battle, Joey!
**[08:39] ---**
These are amazing.
**[08:46] ---**
Look for some weapons we can use.
**[08:49] ---**
Damn it, it won't budge...
**[08:53] ---**
It's no use.
**[08:56] ---**
How do you work it?
**[09:02] ---**
What happened?
**[09:07] ---**
W-Whoa!
**[09:08] ---**
Let me have it!
**[09:10] ---**
With this, I can fight them!
**[09:16] ---**
H-Hold up, Will!
**[09:24] ---**
A dead-end?
**[09:27] ---**
Something isn't right, Will.
**[09:29] ---**
I'm sure this is the way we came before...
**[09:34] ---**
Let's turn back.
**[09:42] ---**
Was there a passageway here before?
**[09:45] ---**
Will!
**[09:46] ---**
Stop crying like a little sissy!
**[09:50] ---**
Will!
**[10:00] ---**
This is a pretty big room.
**[10:02] ---**
Look at that!
**[10:23] ---**
Damn it!
**[10:24] ---**
Why won't it shoot? Damn it!
**[10:55] ---**
We have captured some intruders.
**[10:58] ---**
Did you little bugs get lost?
**[11:01] ---**
Bugs...
**[11:02] ---**
*You're* the damn bugs!
**[11:06] ---**
You'd best know your place, feeble human.
**[11:10] ---**
But, worry not.
**[11:13] ---**
This world will soon fall into our hands.
**[11:17] ---**
Thanks to those weapons you fools saw.
**[11:21] ---**
You think we'll let you?!
**[11:23] ---**
Take them away!
**[11:25] ---**
Yes, Lord.
**[11:29] ---**
Open the main gate!
**[11:31] ---**
Proceed to stage 3 of the plan!
**[11:50] ---**
Now, go! Mow down all before you!
**[12:00] ---**
Ready?
**[12:01] ---**
Okay, here I go!
**[12:04] ---**
Heroman Engage!
**[12:11] ---**
And nothing happens...
**[12:13] ---**
Maybe he didn't say it right.
**[12:15] ---**
I guess it only reacts to you, Joey.
**[12:19] ---**
Heroman... Engage!
**[12:27] ---**
What's that?
**[12:28] ---**
It wasn't me!
**[12:29] ---**
Definitely not me!
**[12:31] ---**
We know!
**[12:38] ---**
See something?
**[12:48] ---**
A sphere?
**[12:49] ---**
A perfect sphere indeed.
**[12:52] ---**
Now's not the time to be impressed!
**[12:55] ---**
That sphere is heading this way!
**[12:58] ---**
If it keeps going in that direction...
**[13:05] ---**
This is not good!
**[13:12] ---**
Psy, Professor... You two evacuate everyone.
**[13:15] ---**
No, I'm coming with you.
**[13:18] ---**
I must take responsibility!
**[13:21] ---**
I have a duty to take responsibility for the people of this city... no, for the world!
**[13:28] ---**
I understand.
**[13:30] ---**
Let's go, Joey.
**[13:32] ---**
Psy, everyone's counting on you.
**[13:35] ---**
Leave them to me!
**[13:45] ---**
It's kind of... big.
**[13:47] ---**
I'm doing it now.
**[13:50] ---**
Let's go.
**[14:00] ---**
Heroman...
**[14:02] ---**
Engage!
**[14:21] ---**
Heroman!
**[14:22] ---**
Are you okay?
**[14:40] ---**
Heroman... Attack!
**[14:45] ---**
All right!
**[14:49] ---**
What? It didn't even make a dent.
**[14:54] ---**
Come on now, hurry.
**[14:56] ---**
Everyone over here. Quickly!
**[14:59] ---**
Watch your step.
**[15:01] ---**
Hurry! Hurry and get to safety!
**[15:05] ---**
This is bad. They're not going to make it at this rate.
**[15:08] ---**
We're counting on you, Joey!
**[15:15] ---**
It's not working at all.
**[15:17] ---**
Joey!
**[15:18] ---**
Professor Denton!
**[15:22] ---**
Joey...
**[15:23] ---**
Professor, that sphere is incredibly hard.
**[15:26] ---**
I know. And I have a plan about that.
**[15:33] ---**
We'll trap that sphere in a hole.
**[15:36] ---**
A hole?
**[15:38] ---**
Oh, don't worry.
**[15:41] ---**
I'm not talking about digging one now.
**[15:44] ---**
Then, how?
**[15:48] ---**
A subway station and underground mall are being constructed under here.
**[15:53] ---**
And there's a large cavity that's been made to construct the extension to the tracks.
**[16:00] ---**
I see! So we open up a hole here, and then the sphere drops into it.
**[16:05] ---**
I'd rather not destroy things,
**[16:08] ---**
but it's better than losing people's lives.
**[16:11] ---**
Can you do it?
**[16:13] ---**
I'll try.
**[16:21] ---**
Heroman...
**[16:23] ---**
Attack!
**[16:57] ---**
All right!
**[16:58] ---**
Woohoo!
**[17:22] ---**
This is nonsense...
**[17:24] ---**
This is complete nonsense!
**[17:27] ---**
Quickly, everyone!
**[17:28] ---**
Hurry!
**[17:29] ---**
Hurry up!
**[17:33] ---**
Grandma, you need to evacuate.
**[17:35] ---**
It looks delicious...
**[17:36] ---**
What?
**[17:39] ---**
Please stop it, Heroman!
**[18:32] ---**
He finally stopped it!
**[18:46] ---**
Don't, Heroman!
**[18:51] ---**
That's enough! That's enough I say!
**[18:56] ---**
Heroman!
**[19:18] ---**
Heroman!
**[19:40] ---**
Heroman...
**[19:42] ---**
Heroman is telling me not to give up... To fight together!
**[19:49] ---**
Heroman...
**[19:52] ---**
Augment!
**[20:07] ---**
Heroman...
**[20:08] ---**
...turned into a giant...
**[20:15] ---**
What's that?
**[20:40] ---**
That's the way!
**[20:41] ---**
Don't let up! You've got to hold out until everyone's evacuated!
**[20:47] ---**
Right...
**[21:04] ---**
Joey!
**[21:06] ---**
Everyone's evacuated!
**[21:08] ---**
Right!
**[21:09] ---**
Heroman, move away from the sphere!
**[21:30] ---**
What is that white thing?
**[21:33] ---**
Do they actually possess a power that can oppose us?
**[21:48] ---**
Good going, Joey!
**[21:50] ---**
No, it's not over.
**[21:52] ---**
If we don't do something about that sphere...
**[21:57] ---**
Joey.
**[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] ---**
No way! Could that... Could that be?
**[23:56] ---**
Thanks to Heroman's actions, the people of the city evacuated safely.
**[23:59] ---**
But the Skrugg do not rest, and intensify their attacks.
**[24:04] ---**
Joey and the others head to a battlefield with no breakthrough in sight.
**[24:07] ---**
And what stands before their eyes are new assassins.
**[24:11] ---**
Next time on Heroman Episode #5: Assassins!
**[24:15] ---**
Heroman... Attack!
**[24:18] ---**
