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!

The Terrifying Merman!
The Silver Thread of Miracles

Spiderman...

We must develop a program to get rid of him for good!

Have the machine use all known materials on Garia and Spiderman!

Yes, ma'am!

Professor Monster is attempting to create a program to eliminate Spiderman

by feeding information on Spiderman's abilities into the computer.

Damn you, Spiderman...

If all goes according to the computer's calculations... you'll be a thorn in our side no longer!

You'll meet an inescapable death!

Just a dream...

Takuya! Your coffee's ready!

It is? Thanks.

Here we go. Vroom!

-Morning!
-Mornin'!

Where's today's paper?

Oh...

-Here you go.
-Thank you.

Let's see...

Spiderman passed away recently at 10:40 PM on June 4th. We'll never forget his generosity. Details inside.

Spiderman passed away...? June 4th?

Impossible! How can this be...!?

Funeral details: Date and Time - June 7th [Wed] from 1:00-2:00. Location - St. Paolo's Church.

The funeral will be at St. Paolo's Church, June 7th.

June 7th

June 7th? That's the day after tomorrow!

It was a beautiful lady.

A woman?

She requested the funeral be held?

Yes, sir.

She said she hurt for Spiderman from the bottom of her heart.

She was in tears.

What could she be after?

I already asked the newspapers who placed the obituary, but even they didn't know.

Do you think he's really dead?

Who knows?

Maybe that beautiful lady was his girlfriend!

Wouldn't bet on it.

How rude! He just rode off without me!

It has to be the Iron Cross Army.

They must be cooking up something to eliminate Spiderman.

But I won't go down easily.

I won't lose to them!

I'll never let that happen!

You're so good at rowing, Shin.

I guess.

-Let go!
-Let go of us, please!

H-Help me!

The Weekly Woman

Of course.

I see.

We'll talk later.

Ms. Sakuma...

Yes, ma'am?

Did something come up, boss?

Apparently a half-fish, half-man creature was spotted in Tama River.

What?

A merman?

A young couple was m*rder*d.

It would be great if you could get a picture of that monster.

Roger!

I'll get you that scoop!

-Evening!
-Welcome!

Where's Takuya?

He said he had somewhere to be.

He took off on his bike.

Darn. Was hoping I could get him as a bodyguard.

Thanks, anyway.

Yamashiro Takuya had heard the news about the monster, and so lied in wait for it to appear.

Half-man, half-fish...

If it's real it has to be part of the Iron Cross Army!

A-A monster!

How rude! Calling a beautiful woman like myself a monster...

-Terribly sorry about that, ma'am.
-Terribly sorry.

Somebody help!

That sounded like Hitomi!

That way!

Alright...

Spiderman's eyes work perfectly during the night, even in total darkness.

She just fainted.

The policemen will help her.

Spider Sonar!

He won't get away.

The Spider Bracelet can release ultrasonic waves, helping track down enemies.

Is this its hideout?

A cage?

Who's there!?

We've been waiting, Spiderman...

You must be Professor Monster!

So Garia did tell you about me.

What are you planning!? What's with this cage?

I developed a computer program that has created this, the Tome of Fate.

Or, you could say, it is an Extermination Program.

The Tome of Fate?

Precisely.

All of this has gone exactly as it was foretold in your program, Spiderman.

Then the attack on the boat...!?

Merely some folly to lure you out.

Don't treat people's lives so flippantly!

-Silence!

According to the Tome of Fate...

...you are to fight the Merman in a deathmatch...

...and it is to end with your death.

What!?

That is your fate, Spiderman.

You cannot escape it.

Merman!

I am Merman, a Machine BEM of the Iron Cross Army. I will fight and make mincemeat out of you!

What...!?

May the deathmatch between Spiderman and Merman... begin!

The Emissary of Hell, Spiderman!

Keep going, Merman!

These sights, these sounds... Why do I have this sense of déjà vu?

That's right! My dream!

I saw this in my dream!

Now finish him, Merman!

If this keeps up, I'm done for...

Die!!

I can use those blades...

Damn that Garia...

It seems his strength is even greater than I thought...

These buildings... I saw them in my dream too!

Everything... is happening just as it did in my dream!

Takuya!

Big bro!

Takuya...!

What happened to you!?

I wiped out on my bike.

Are you okay?

I'll be fine!

Just a couple of scratches.

Go get a doctor.

Okay!

One more hit like that and I would've been done for.

Professor Monster... you really are a terrifying guy.

Come quickly, doc!

It's that bad?

Yes, positively awful!

Now that Takuya has been given the blood of a Spiderian...

he can heal his wounds unnaturally quickly.

You will die, just as is foretold in the Tome of Fate.

Takuya!

You were shouting in your sleep.

Another dream...?

Sis says "Get up already!"

Gotcha.

Takuji...

Yeah?

What day's today?

June 7th.

June 7th...?

That's the day of "Spiderman's" funeral!

What happened in my dream the other day came true.

If I'm to go over the falls, I'll just stay in this room all day.

As long as I stay here, I'll rewrite the fate that computer gave me!

That's it. That's what I have to do.

My Spidey-Sense has snared something!

Thanks to his psychic Spidey-Sense power, Spiderman is able to know of things happening far away.

That's Hitomi's scream!

Takuya?

Takuya! Are you sure you're alright?

Shinko, do you know where Hitomi is?

I wonder if she snagged a pic this time.

You mean of that half-man, half-fish?

Yeah, she missed it last time so she tried again last night.

Gotcha. That tomboy.

Now come on down. Your coffee's getting cold.

Will do.

They nabbed Hitomi...

Spider Machine, GP-7!

That scream was Hitomi's!

Don't come closer! Stay away!

Where... is... Spiderman?

Why don't you call Spiderman here?

Spiderman!?

You must know where he is.

No, I don't!

Liar!

Why does he always seem to show up around you!?

The river, for example!

I have no clue!

Spiderman, help me!

Spider Net!

Call for Spiderman!

Go!

-Get to the GP-7!
-Okay!

Spiderman!

Spider Net!

Get him!

Spider Strings!

Dusty Gas!

It stings!

Spider Strings!

Damn you...

And so begins the final chapter of your fate.

This is all from my dream!

These falls... really will be the path straight to Hell for me!

I don't want to die!

Not until I get revenge for Dad... and for Garia!

Garia!

Lend me your strength!

Garia!!

Garia!

A spider's thread!

I'm saved...!

This spider thread... it's a miracle!

No, wait... This is just a vine.

Marveller!

Change Leopardon!

Machine Gas!

You won't escape from me!

Machine Gas!

X-Ray Beam! Fire!

Spider Strings!

Arc Turn!

Leopardon! Sword Vigor!

Damn it!

We will get you yet, Spiderman!

Nobody was truly there to help him.

And yet despite the odds Spiderman was able to put an end to his tragic fate

with his will and courage to never give up.

Don't give in, Spiderman!

To be continued...

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

Kouya wo hashiru

Running across the wasteland
