(THE MYSTERIOUS NEW HERO)

Yumi!

Hang in there, Yumi!

These symptoms...

it can't be!

Make preparations immediately!

-Understood! -Doctor, what is it...

What does my daughter have?

In our next news.

It has been discovered...

that a middle school girl...

who had spent her New Year vacation overseas...

has contracted a new infectious disease...

with a mortality rate as high as 75%.

She has been urgently hospitalized at a hospital in Tokyo.

Fortunately, since she has only just returned to Japan...

it is assumed that there are no secondary infections.

Meanwhile, however, there is no vaccine for this disease in Japan.

It's been confirmed the vaccine will...

be immediately sent to Japan by the World Health Organization...

and will arrive shortly.

We now go to our reporter Aki Wakabayashi at Narita airport.

Aki. Can you hear me?

Yes, this is Aki Wakabayashi reporting from Narita airport.

Just a moment.

The long-awaited vaccine has just arrived...

at Narita airport.

We're with TV JAPAN. Thank you for your hard work.

Will the vaccine cure the infectious disease completely?

-Can you tell us? -Please, stand back.

-Give us an answer, please! -Stand aside.

Back, please!

Right now, they are firmly holding the vaccine...

and heading to the transport car.

The vaccine transport car...

will now depart for Toyo Medical University Hospital.

We'll follow them to the hospital...

where the young girl is waiting.

Reporting an armed robbery homicide.

An armed robbery homicide.

The suspect has robbed 200 million yen...

from the main branch of Heiwa Bank...

and is making his escape towards Yokohama by car.

Inspector Bat!

Sure...

I'm a brave and talented inspector nicknamed the "Batman of Sakuradamon."

But my name is Komori!

Not Bat!

My apologies!

That's 320 yen. Don't forget the receipt.

-Takaido! -Yes! Here's the receipt!

-Comb! -Got it!

-Hair spray! -Here!

There's a crime, right? Let's go!

Yes, Boss!

It's now 1:30 p.m.

We are nearly approaching...

Toyo Medical University Hospital...

where the young girl is waiting for the vaccine.

But, with every passing moment...

the life of the young girl...

comes closer to flickering out.

She needs the vaccine...

Police! Come out with your hands up!

This is your final destination.

Get down!

-After him! -Yes, Boss!

That's the car from earlier!

Everyone, out!

Out of the way!

Hold up!

Stop right there!

Or this woman dies!

What are you going to do to me?

You're a hostage. Now drive!

In this car, there's...

Wait!

She's worsening!

Where's the vaccine?

-Check if it has arrived! -Understood!

What? The vaccine?

Yes! We were just informed by the other TV crew at the hospital.

According to the patient's doctor...

unless she receives the vaccine within an hour...

she may lose her life!

One hour?

That makes 3 p.m. the time limit.

-All right! Let's pursue them right away! -Yes, Boss!

Come on! Everyone, get out! Quickly!

Hurry up! Get off!

Takaido!

Wait, hold on. What?

Metropolitan Police Department, come in. This is Komori.

I'm in pursuit of the hijacked vehicle carrying the vaccine.

Requesting reinforcements immediately!

What? The vaccine for an infectious disease?

A young girl's life is on the line.

If you deliver this vaccine to the hospital...

you'll be a hero.

I'm sure this will be taken into account.

Head to Wharf Three.

Do you intend to stow away or something?

Thanks for sharing that information.

I couldn't think of a better hostage.

There's no chance of capture now.

Stop! If you don't, I'll shoot!

And what about the vaccine?

Inspector, we need the vaccine!

Shoot if you want, you stupid cop!

I even betrayed my organization to make off with my getaway funds.

There's no way I'm letting the police catch me now!

What are you talking about? What organization?

You!

Don't stop the car! Assassin Robots!

If you stop, they'll kill us!

Assassin Robots?

Inspector!

-Takaido, hurry! -Yes, Boss!

Who the heck are they?

Don't get in our way!

Inspector!

What happened? I can't see anything!

Pull yourself together, Inspector!

-After them! Get on! -Got it, Boss!

I'm just an underling!

I don't know nothing about the organization!

There's no point in killing me! You know that!

Why then?

Help!

I'm on fire!

Help!

Only 30 minutes left until the time limit!

What can be done?

It's over! There's no hope!

Where is God and Buddha in all this?

Help me! Someone! Help!

(DARK JEYCAR)

Janperson! For Justice!

Janperson?

Janperson!

(JAN DIGIC)

(BACKLET CONTROLLER)

Fire!

The vaccine!

Search!

It's going to explode!

Help!

Hiruta, you're under arrest!

-Don't know who you are, but you saved us! -Cut it out!

No one asked for you to interfere in police business.

Who are you? Identify yourself!

Wait!

We don't have time for this!

Right! The time limit!

It's too late! We've only got five minutes!

(SKY JEYCAR)

(LAND JEYCAR)

What's this? Not another bucket!

Oh, Yumi!

It's the vaccine! Janperson?

(TOYO MEDICAL UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL)

Everyone...

Janperson's courageous actions...

have saved the life of Yumi.

As you can see...

Yumi has recovered to the point...

where she can take walks around the hospital.

Two weeks from now, Yumi will be released from the hospital...

and will be able to play happily with her friends at school.

Janperson, who exactly is he?

In any case, this mysterious hero...

not only saved our city from the hands of evil...

but also saved the life of a little girl who was about to die.

Janperson reassuringly...

protected us citizens...

while the police remained incompetent.

Hero? Right!

Next time I run into that guy, I'll expose him!

Inspector Komori!

Hiruta confessed!

-Confessed? -Yes!

The organization he betrayed is called the Guild.

The Guild?

Hiruta!

I can only blame myself for having thought...

I could easily squash an insignificant vermin like you.

I will end your life sooner or later.

Before that, I must get rid of this thing.

His name is...

Janperson!

My robots of the Guild...

will soon discreetly and effectively infiltrate human society .

Not far is the day when...

they will take over this country and the world.

Janperson's identity is unknown...

but there's no doubt he's our enemy. Eliminate him.

Eliminate him!
