[bunniefuu]

Yeah yeah yeah! Wow! Yeah yeah yeah! Wow!

Yeah yeah yeah! Wow! Yeah yeah yeah! Wow!

Within the dark alleys of the metropolis

Biru no tanima no kurayami ni

Spiderman!

Spiderman!

His eyes gleam with a brilliant anger

Kirari to hikaru ikari no me

Spiderman!

Spiderman!

Leaving his tranquil life behind,

Yasuragi sutete

Leaving everything he knows behind,

Subete wo sutete

He'll fly through the skies, chasing after evil

Aku wo otte, sora kakeru

Change Leopardon!

Change Leopardon!

Why do you, oh, why do you...

Kimi wa naze, Kimi wa naze

Why do you risk your life continuing to fight?

Tatakai tsuzukeru no ka, inochi wo kakete

He's devoted himself, he'll stand firm

Hitosuji ni hitosuji ni

He is the invincible man, Spiderman!

Muteki no otoko, Spiderman

Spiderman!

Spiderman!

{\pos( , )\fnEurostile LT Std Condensed\fs }The School of Love for Children without Homes

Here I come!

Bring it!

He's pushing, but he's still in!

Keep going!

That all you've got, Takuya?

Take him down, Yasuo!

He's still in! Still in! Keep pushing, Yasuo!

The Yamashiros became fast friends with the kids at Open Sky Schoolyard,

because the headmistress, Misato, was an old friend of Shinko's.

Who's next!?

Go! Still in! Keep pushing! You can do it! He's still in!

Come on! That all ya got?

Keep going!

Hey, kids! Everyone doing well?

Oh! It's you, Goro!

Don't look at me like that.

Got something for you.

See? I brought presents for everyone!

Gimme mine!

Here you go!

-And this one's yours. -Really!?

Easy there, I brought enough for everyone!

Thanks!

-I want one too! -Here you go, Shinichi.

-Thanks! -Here.

-For you. -Thanks a bunch!

And here.

Last one.

Thanks!

I gotta toy car!

Thanks a bunch, Mr. Goro!

Thank you!

-Thanks! -Thank you!

It's no biggie!

And this is for you, Misao... I mean Ms. Misato!

How beautiful.

Goro...

Don't worry about it. I'm loaded now.

I'll bring a piano next time.

And then maybe rebuild the whole school!

Hey, kids! I'm going to revamp this old place!

Woah! Really?

Isn't that great, Ms. Misato?

-Yay! Hooray! -Woo! Yeah!

What happened to you, Goro?

Well, I just kinda want to help secure these kids a future is all.

Is this car yours, Mr. Goro!?

Yes, it is.

Come on, it's not a playground.

Who is he?

A former student here...

But this can't be...

I saw him a month ago. His business went bankrupt and he was flat broke.

Take some.

Woah! Thanks!

-Here. For you. -Thanks so much!

-I want some! -Here.

I can't let him do this!

Stop, Goro, please!

Thank you. Later!

See ya!

You need to see this.

Hands off.

An old classmate from photography school bought all of these for me!

Oh, really?

Must have inherited a lot of money...

Can't be. He doesn't come from a rich family at all.

In fact, I saw him pawning stuff recently.

I saw him a month ago. His business went bankrupt and he was flat broke.

How peculiar.

Yeah, you said it.

It's totally strange!

What do you mean?

Some people are just determined to get somewhere in life...

Though I can see how Takuya finds that strange.

Hey, come on!

I'm not asking for a ring or anything,

but sometimes it'd be nice if you bought me something sweet.

You know?

I've been waiting for him to pay me back for-

Alright, alright, I get it already.

What they told him seemed too good to be true.

That night, Takuya hit the streets.

The Witch's Den

The Witch's Den? That's that popular new chain of pubs.

Welcome back!

Start!

Black makes it to the end first! Black is the winner!

Heck yeah! I won!

Going again?

Yeah, I'm on a hot streak! Can't quit now!

Hope some of that rubs off on me.

Ladies and gents, place your bets!

Step right up and bet if ye got the stones for it!

Ye be sure to win if ye 're determined enough.

Soon, ye all will be swimming in money!

The Spider Battle Royal is about to begin!

Starting.

Which spider will be the last one standing?

Please come this way.

Come on!

Lane has come first times.

Lane has come first twice.

Now, everyone, place your bets.

We will now begin.

I'm looking for four!

C !

C has it!

Next!

G !

Alright, G . Too bad!

C !

C ... has it!

You win!

It's a casino.

And a very suspicious one at that.

And we have a winner! Who's next?

Don't ye dare miss this golden opportunity!

The Iron Cross Army!

That one's a Machine BEM.

My Spidey-Sense isn't working. Neither is my x-ray vision.

An underground tunnel...

Our Machine BEM Witchape has become ruler of the city's nightlife.

The Witch's Den

Very good.

Her chain of pubs, The Witch's Den, has already expanded beyond locations.

The youth are wrapped around her finger.

These young men come from poor homes.

They're sucked in, earning amounts of money they never even dreamed of.

Those fools have yet to realize that so far we've been allowing them to win.

However!

Our philanthropy ends here.

Show them the true terror of the Iron Cross Army.

The mysterious fog that enveloped the night had lifted by morning.

Where am I?

Where's The Witch's Den?

You lost, I take it?

Spiderman.

I know what you've been spending time doing, and it's time to stop.

I was a little unlucky is all.

No. That place is run by the Iron Cross Army.

Your loss was a foregone conclusion. Open your eyes!

Who cares if they're the ICA?

I was on a winning streak! One win paid out millions of yen!

And now you have nothing.

I'll win.

Next time I'll win.

I'll make all of my money back!

Spiderman, loan me some money!

Why?

I'll pay back double! No, five times!

Ten times!

Do you even have money, Spiderman?

Any savings?

Please! I want another shot! Just one more chance!

That's all I'm asking for!

Fine. Forget it!

How horrible. I must destroy their lair of evil quickly.

The Witch's Den

The Iron Cross Army's secret gambling den

had seemingly melted into the darkness of the night in the city.

Open Sky Schoolyard

The chick race is about to begin!

Place your bets, everyone! Place your bets!

I'm gonna pick # ! # !

The red one's strong. He's gotta win, I'm sure of it!

Besides, it hasn't lost a single race!

Then I'll pick it too.

Ma wee chick...

Fifteen races run, fifteen races lost...

But now yer victory is assured, for I will bestow me power upon ye.

Here ye go.

Come one, come all! Place your chips!

You can do it! Come on!

Okay, start!

-Go! Come on! -You can do it! Faster!

Run! Faster! Faster! Go!

Don't slow down! Come on! Go!

Come on, Red, run faster!

Go, I'm begging you! I put everything on you!

Last place.

What do I do!?

I'm sunk!

Get outta here, ya nosy brats!

What the heck, dude!?

What do you men think you're doing!?

If you don't leave our school right now, I'll call the police!

Go ahead, do it. This schoolhouse isn't yours anyway, anymore.

The building and land belong to us now!

There's no way-!

Some Nakamura Goro fella bet the school and he lost.

Goro-!?

What!?

The deed is gone!

Go help those kids!

What are you doing!?

Hell are you?

The Iron Cross Army.

You can't do this!

As long as we have the deed, this place is ours. We can do whatever we want with it!

You have no claim to it!

Please! At least think of the children!

This school is the only place they have left!

Shut up.

Ms. Misato!

Misato!

Stop them, Takuya!

Well, well, if it isn't the knight in shining armor.

Here was the Iron Cross Army, up to a terrible scheme,

and yet Takuya could do nothing about it, for he had to keep his identity secret from everyone.

Weren't you about to teach us a lesson!?

Takuya! Please! How can you be so pathetic!?

Of everyone there, Takuya bristled with fury the most.

We hate you, Mr. Goro! You suck!

I'm sorry. Everyone, I'm so sorry.

Goro...

Mr. Goro.

Mr. Goro!

Stupid Mr. Goro! I respected you, man!

Give me back my money! At least give me back the deed!

It's gone.

The whole casino... is gone.

Where did it go?

You gotta be kidding... Where the heck did it go!?

That's it!

Eiji!

Oh, it's you.

Back to my old place, I guess.

-Did you lose? -Yeah, everything.

Last night I didn't even eat.

Where did the casino go? You have to know!

You think they're gonna let someone broke waltz in?

I'm going in and they can't stop me. I need my money back.

Tell me where it last was!

Excuse me, is this The Witch's Den?

Nope. 'Fraid you're mistaken.

Sarasa Pub

Look out!

Are you okay? Hang in there!

Spiderman!

-I need to apologize to everyone. -Hush.

But...

Trust me on this...

Those kids... I saw them as if they were my real brothers and sisters.

I hoped that... one day... I could do something for them a real big brother would.

Takuya always had to pretend to be useless as an older brother.

He understood Goro's feelings quite well.

You've done your best to make it up for them.

An ambulance will be here soon. Leave the rest to me.

I've got it!

So that's how they were able to move from place to place undetected...

They used the underground tunnel!

My Spidey-Sense has snared something!

Found you!

The Man who Sheds Tears for Children Without Homes, Spiderman!

Spider Strings!

I be a Machine BEM, Witchape!

Spider Machine, GP- !

Marveller!

Marveller! Fire the cannons!

Thanks to Spiderman's efforts, the small school was saved.

The kids, and Goro, had found a love that no money could buy.

Spiderman vowed in his heart to fight for and protect that small love until the bitter end.

Yami fukaku hibiku

The sound of hell's footsteps

Jigoku no ashi oto

Echo in the darkness

Boyou no shita nemuru chichi yo

Dad sleeps below his gravestone

Mune ni himeta hijou no sadame

I lock away my cruel fate within my chest

Saraba tomo yo, chikai no tomo yo

Farewell, my friends, my dear friends

Ore wa tada hitori, ore wa tada hitori

I am all alone, oh, I am all alone
