**[01:31] ---**
Don't let up! You've got to hold
out until everyone's evacuated!
**[01:36] ---**
Right...
**[01:46] ---**
Joey!
**[01:48] ---**
Everyone's evacuated!
**[01:55] ---**
Do they actually possess a
power that can oppose us?
**[02:01] ---**
In that case...
**[02:22] ---**
Heroman, let's go!
**[02:25] ---**
Wait, Joey.
**[02:28] ---**
Do you have a plan?
**[02:30] ---**
A plan?
**[02:31] ---**
If not, then we need to think one up.
**[02:36] ---**
What are you talking about, Professor?
**[02:37] ---**
You can't destroy those
spheres with normal attacks.
**[02:41] ---**
Even Heroman's repeated attacks
didn't even scratch it!
**[02:45] ---**
You should know that better than anyone.
**[02:48] ---**
Well, yeah, but...
**[02:51] ---**
And Heroman's taken considerable damage.
**[02:54] ---**
I'm also worried about your stamina.
**[02:57] ---**
I'm not saying to do nothing.
**[03:00] ---**
We'll return for now, and
think up a new plan!
**[03:03] ---**
That's for the best.
**[03:12] ---**
Okay?
**[03:16] ---**
Right...
**[03:23] ---**
Why those...
**[03:26] ---**
Hey, Will...
**[03:28] ---**
What?
**[03:30] ---**
I wonder what's gonna happen to us...
**[03:34] ---**
Who knows?
**[03:36] ---**
Maybe they'll put us on trial or something?
**[03:40] ---**
I wonder if we can bribe them to get away?
**[03:43] ---**
I seriously doubt that.
**[03:46] ---**
Then we'll be executed?
**[03:48] ---**
No, we won't.
**[03:50] ---**
If they wanted to do that, we
wouldn't have been locked up in here.
**[03:54] ---**
Then, what'll happen to us?
**[03:56] ---**
How the hell should I know?
**[04:04] ---**
I'm never going to give up!
**[04:07] ---**
I'm going home, alive!
**[04:09] ---**
It's no use...
**[04:21] ---**
To think this planet hid an enemy with
this level of combat ability.
**[04:27] ---**
However there only seems to be a single one.
**[04:30] ---**
It does not surpass our own attack strength.
**[04:34] ---**
So there is only one thing to do.
**[04:43] ---**
Just give up already.
**[04:45] ---**
There's no way we can get out that way.
**[04:49] ---**
Damn it!
**[04:51] ---**
There has to be a way!
**[04:54] ---**
There has to be...
**[05:01] ---**
Nick!
**[05:04] ---**
Come!
**[05:05] ---**
You as well.
**[05:16] ---**
Um... We didn't come here to rebel
against you at all, really!
**[05:21] ---**
Nick...
**[05:22] ---**
What's going to happen to us?
**[05:25] ---**
Anything you could tell us
would be just great...
**[05:28] ---**
Nick!
**[05:29] ---**
What else can I do?
**[05:31] ---**
This is all your fault anyway, Will.
**[05:33] ---**
What?
**[05:34] ---**
Silence!
**[05:35] ---**
Okay! Sorry!
**[05:37] ---**
I'll be quiet now!
**[06:33] ---**
Is Heroman okay?
**[06:36] ---**
I think so.
**[06:37] ---**
I replaced the broken parts.
**[06:39] ---**
But, how are *you*, Joey?
**[06:43] ---**
I'm fine.
**[06:45] ---**
It's strange... When Heroman
got big I felt really tired.
**[06:50] ---**
But I'm fine now.
**[06:53] ---**
Anyway, Professor, what should we do now?
**[06:56] ---**
The power's out so we can't do anything.
**[06:59] ---**
Worry not!
**[07:00] ---**
I thought something like this might happen,
so I installed a personal power generator.
**[07:05] ---**
But, Joey... Are you sure
you're feeling okay?
**[07:09] ---**
Yes! Just spiffy!
**[07:11] ---**
I'm glad to hear it!
**[07:21] ---**
A bicycle?
**[07:23] ---**
So, pedal it for me.
**[07:31] ---**
That's good, Joey. Keep going like that.
**[07:35] ---**
R-Right...
**[07:37] ---**
Professor, what are you planning on doing?
**[07:40] ---**
I'm going to come up with a plan.
**[07:42] ---**
In order to do that, you can't neglect
information gathering and analysis!
**[07:45] ---**
Well, I guess so.
**[07:48] ---**
But what are you doing, specifically?
**[07:58] ---**
First up is hacking and
communications interception!
**[08:05] ---**
This is the 21st armored division reporting.
**[08:08] ---**
We are currently deployed to
the suburbs of Center City.
**[08:11] ---**
We are guiding evacuees, and have
taken a defensive position.
**[08:14] ---**
We have nothing else to report at this time.
**[08:16] ---**
What's that?
**[08:29] ---**
Communications have ceased
from the seventh squad!
**[08:31] ---**
Secure the citizens' evacuation routes!
**[08:33] ---**
Prepare for battle!
**[08:34] ---**
Prepare to fire...
**[08:35] ---**
Fire!
**[09:06] ---**
It's no use...
**[09:08] ---**
Not even a scratch!
**[09:09] ---**
Don't give up!
**[09:11] ---**
Keep up the attack!
**[09:12] ---**
It's coming... All hands, retreat!
**[09:33] ---**
What's going on, Professor?
**[09:34] ---**
Please don't rush me.
**[09:36] ---**
I need more information!
**[09:42] ---**
I am now at the suburbs of Center City!
**[09:46] ---**
Just look at this scene!
**[09:49] ---**
The five giant spheres that
have been released
**[09:54] ---**
are each progressing straight ahead in one
direction, oblivious to the military's attacks.
**[09:59] ---**
The Skrugg's UFO appeared suddenly from the
sky and began to attack Center City...
**[10:04] ---**
What could be their purpose behind this?
**[10:08] ---**
We're going to keep a close
watch on their movements.
**[10:11] ---**
We want everyone to see what's really happen-
**[10:15] ---**
Verify that...
**[10:18] ---**
Excuse us, but we've received some
new information during the report.
**[10:21] ---**
There are new developments at Center City.
**[10:26] ---**
I'm reporting from on top of a
building in front of the factory.
**[10:28] ---**
Skrugg troops are emerging from the
factory that the Skrugg have occupied.
**[10:32] ---**
And in incredible numbers!
**[10:33] ---**
I repeat: Skrugg soldiers are coming down
from the factory one after another!
**[10:42] ---**
The Skrugg are making another move.
**[10:44] ---**
This is bad. What are they planning now?
**[10:48] ---**
Um...
**[10:54] ---**
I can't just stay here doing nothing!
**[10:57] ---**
Joey...
**[10:59] ---**
You...
**[11:04] ---**
I'm going.
**[11:05] ---**
We can't leave the Skrugg
to do whatever they want!
**[11:09] ---**
I'm coming too.
**[11:10] ---**
I should at least be able to
attract their attention.
**[11:14] ---**
Sure!
**[11:15] ---**
Thanks, Psy.
**[11:18] ---**
Yes, it's exactly as you said.
**[11:21] ---**
I wanted to come up with a plan to deal
with those spheres if possible, but...
**[11:32] ---**
A guitar?
**[11:33] ---**
What's that supposed to be for, Professor?
**[11:35] ---**
You're going to stop them with rock 'n' roll?
**[11:38] ---**
It's true that this is nothing but a
guitar, but there's a secret hidden here.
**[11:43] ---**
It's just a normal speaker, right?
**[11:45] ---**
No, no... That's not all.
**[11:48] ---**
In here is the amplification device that
was installed in that weapon of theirs.
**[11:53] ---**
What are you saying?
**[11:55] ---**
Think back...
**[11:58] ---**
Their weapon was able to create that
powerful an air vortex from absolutely nothing!
**[12:04] ---**
Using that amplification
device, I successfully...
**[12:11] ---**
...amplified sound!
**[12:13] ---**
That's... very impressive...
**[12:15] ---**
But what's the point to go
through all the trouble?
**[12:19] ---**
A reasonable question.
**[12:21] ---**
But there is a very good reason, you see.
**[12:27] ---**
It is merely conjecture, yes,
**[12:29] ---**
but they may communicate among themselves
using high-frequency sound waves.
**[12:34] ---**
This is also merely conjecture,
**[12:36] ---**
but their hearing may also be able to detect
sound from a much wider range than humans.
**[12:41] ---**
That's what I've surmised!
**[12:43] ---**
So, what does it mean?
**[12:46] ---**
If you're going up against the Skrugg, this
guitar is more of a super powerful weapon...
**[12:53] ---**
...than missiles or cannons!
**[13:01] ---**
Okay? I'm going to continue
analyzing those spheres.
**[13:04] ---**
Be careful out there.
**[13:07] ---**
I don't like this.
**[13:08] ---**
Yeah...
**[13:10] ---**
But...
**[13:13] ---**
We gotta do what we gotta do.
**[13:15] ---**
Yeah.
**[13:52] ---**
Ready, Joey?
**[13:53] ---**
We're gonna play hit and away.
**[13:56] ---**
We can't go up head-to-head
against those kind of numbers.
**[13:59] ---**
Once you beat the enemy, hide
yourself and move on.
**[14:02] ---**
We can't let them get a bead on our location.
**[14:05] ---**
That way we're sure to thin
out their numbers.
**[14:08] ---**
Got it?
**[14:16] ---**
I'll try!
**[14:19] ---**
Let's go.
**[14:49] ---**
It's him!
**[14:51] ---**
Over here!
**[14:58] ---**
Cross my heart and hope...
**[15:09] ---**
Oh? That's surprising.
**[15:13] ---**
The professor's invention actually worked!
**[15:16] ---**
Joey!
**[15:29] ---**
Hostilities have broken out.
**[15:31] ---**
It seems to be that white one of interest.
**[15:33] ---**
Good. Dispatch reinforcements.
**[15:36] ---**
We'll finish this right at once.
**[15:38] ---**
Display the location.
**[15:40] ---**
About that...
**[15:41] ---**
What is the matter?
**[15:44] ---**
It seems they are using the wrecked buildings
**[15:46] ---**
and passageways we are not aware
of to keep on the move.
**[15:50] ---**
We cannot pinpoint the
enemy's precise location.
**[15:53] ---**
What is this?
**[15:55] ---**
Our losses are already greater than 14.
**[16:00] ---**
Using the terrain to your
advantage? What impudence!
**[16:03] ---**
In that case, it's an eye for an eye!
**[16:20] ---**
Lina!
**[16:23] ---**
Joey!
**[16:26] ---**
What are you doing around here?
**[16:29] ---**
It's dangerous, you have to hurry and escape!
**[16:32] ---**
My brother's gone, so I...
**[16:38] ---**
Anyway, hide yourself here.
**[16:41] ---**
I'll come and pick you up
after the battle's over.
**[16:44] ---**
No!
**[16:46] ---**
Please, Joey...
**[16:48] ---**
Take me along!
**[16:50] ---**
W-Why?
**[16:52] ---**
It'll be dangerous no matter where I go.
**[16:55] ---**
So staying next to you and Heroman
is the safest place, right?
**[16:59] ---**
But...
**[17:01] ---**
I want to search for my
brother, no matter what!
**[17:04] ---**
So...
**[17:06] ---**
Please!
**[17:11] ---**
You just can't.
**[17:13] ---**
You'll be in danger.
**[17:15] ---**
If I am, then protect me, okay?
**[17:21] ---**
Huh? Where's Joey?
**[17:24] ---**
Hey Joey, what are you...
**[17:27] ---**
Lina?
**[17:28] ---**
Oh, you're here too, Psy?
**[17:30] ---**
I'm so happy!
**[17:31] ---**
I'm getting more confident by the second.
**[17:33] ---**
Now, let's go.
**[17:51] ---**
Let's go.
**[17:57] ---**
Heroman...
**[18:01] ---**
Attack!
**[18:13] ---**
That's...
**[18:15] ---**
...a different kind of Skrugg than before.
**[18:17] ---**
Joey!
**[18:19] ---**
Over here!
**[18:21] ---**
Don't face them all at once!
**[18:23] ---**
Heroman!
**[18:46] ---**
What's the matter, Joey?
**[18:49] ---**
Oh, it's nothing.
**[18:51] ---**
Good, then let's try this again!
**[19:08] ---**
But, how?
**[19:15] ---**
Lina, Psy!
**[19:17] ---**
Shoot, there goes our escape route!
**[19:33] ---**
I knew it... It's different than
the enemies from before.
**[19:57] ---**
Heroman...
**[20:00] ---**
Attack!
**[20:23] ---**
Joey, behind you!
**[20:35] ---**
Leave this one to me!
**[20:37] ---**
You guys bust up that one!
**[20:39] ---**
Right!
**[20:41] ---**
Heroman...
**[20:43] ---**
Blast!
**[21:01] ---**
It's planning on taking it?
**[21:08] ---**
Heroman...
**[21:10] ---**
Finish!
**[21:33] ---**
It actually blocked...
**[21:36] ---**
...Heroman's attack...
**[21:53] ---**
W-What the hell is this?
**[22:12] ---**
Brother?!
**[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] ---**
But... we still have to fight!
**[23:55] ---**
The identity of the assassins are Lina's
brother Will and his best friend Nick.
**[23:59] ---**
Joey and the others retreat, able to do
nothing against their modified bodies.
**[24:04] ---**
Joey cannot hide his trembling,
**[24:06] ---**
but in front of the Skrugg's unrelenting
invasion they are forced to make a new decision.
**[24:12] ---**
Next time on Heroman Episode #6: Backlash!
**[24:16] ---**
Heroman...
**[24:17] ---**
Attack!
