01x27 - Farewell Comrade, My Beloved Shepherd

[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!

Farewell, My Comrade, My Beloved Shepard

What you're witnessing is our intensive training regime designed to stimulate dogs' instinct to hunt prey.

With it, we'll defeat Spiderman.

Splendid.

So... how's the Spider X coming?

Already complete.

Amazoness...

These spiders aren't just any ordinary spiders.

That blasted Garia lived trapped in a cave deep in the mountains.

These spiders were trapped there along with him.

It was in that cave that he entrusted his life to some man.

That man became Spiderman...

...and we fought him ever since.

The scent these spiders carry must be an exact match to his.

That is why I worked to gather them.

And now their essence is being extracted from their bodies.

So you mean... this extract carries the same scent as Spiderman?

That is correct.

Those dogs will learn Spiderman's scent...

...and hunt down Spiderman's true identity.

Amazoness!

Your job for now is to gather more intelligent dogs to send after Spiderman.

What? Rabies!?

Yes, ma'am. A pet dog in the area was infected with it.

We wish to take him to the vet's office and have him inspected for signs of infection.

Now then...

Come on, this way.

Jun?

Jun!

Mom, where are they taking him!?

They said he might have rabies, so they're taking him to the vet.

But Jun has his rabies shot!

Jun!

Kazuo!

Hey, you dropped your bag!

Jun is-!

Huh?

They took away my pet collie, Jun!

What?

Y'know, Jun's kinda like a little brother to me, Takuya.

Come here! Good boy! That's right!

What a good boy!

Takuya didn't know at the time that he was soon to be in grave danger from a dog.

This is the scent that will lead to Spiderman's extermination.

Attack!

Now all we need to do is draw him out...

Hello, Sakuma residence.

It's been a while, Hitomi.

Chief Editor Yoshida!

Chief Editor Yoshida was nothing more than a fake name; I am Amazoness of the Iron Cross Army.

No... Don't k*ll me.

I'll do whatever you say!

Let Spiderman know that we, the Iron Cross Army, plan to plant a b*mb at Interpol Japan.

Yoshida Saeko had laid a trap for Spiderman.

She knew Hitomi would be able to bring him the information quickly.

But, like, Spiderman and I aren't close at all!

I dunno what the Iron Cross Army is thinking asking me of all people to do it!

Sucks for you.

I know, right!?

Just forget about it.

What a filthy mutt.

There you are!

-Oh, you're here! -Good afternoon.

What's with the dog?

I got it from the pet store!

Come on, Takuya, bad boy!

Oh?

He named him Takuya?

Yeah. He's sick of Takuya lording over him as an older brother.

So he gave the dog the same name so he can feel like he's standing up to him.

Takuya understood it was a trap...

However, he couldn't ignore the threat.

He contacted Interpol's Japanese branch immediately.

What's Spiderman doing?

Isn't he going to come!?

Amazoness!

It seems you still carry suspicions regarding that freeloader Yamashiro Takuya.

We already know for certain he is not Spiderman.

Someone else is Spiderman!

Amazoness...

...You will need a different method to draw Spiderman out.

So the Iron Cross Army is launching a series of t*rror1st attacks...

In that case...

Spider Protector!

Spiderman swung into action.

Spider Strings!

Spiderman spotted...

Go! Chase him down!

Spiderman had completely fallen into the trap.

Don't let him escape! Hunt him down and capture him!

That was close...

A little slower and I'd be kibble.

Just Takuya...

We'll continue our t*rror1st attacks.

This place is perfect for the next one. Plant the bombs.

Meanwhile, Spiderman was coming up with his own plan to deal with the dog.

That dog will follow my scent and come running straight here.

Then I spring my own trap!

The boy was still looking for his missing dog.

Spiderman laid a trap!?

Come and get me!

Come on!

That's right!

Oh no!

Don't k*ll him.

Look out! Get down!

Spider Strings!

I'm sorry. You ended up getting hurt because I jumped in.

But... I just couldn't let this dog die.

Don't worry about it.

You really like dogs, don't you?

Yeah. Dogs are so kind, and they'll do whatever you tell them to.

Even this dog is actually very sweet.

Don't die, okay? You better not...

Don't die.

Get better, okay?

Spiderman was moved by the boy's deep love for the dog.

Don't die... Don't die...

He doesn't have much strength left.

I know...

This came as no surprise.

The Iron Cross Army hadn't fed the dog in an entire week.

He gave his last burst of energy trying to chase down Spiderman.

The dog had nothing more to give...

and so collapsed in exhaustion.

I guess this is it...

But you can't die!

You can't!

Don't die... Don't die...

Don't give up, keep comforting him. I'll go bring some food.

Hang in there.

Here. I brought milk.

Go on, drink up.

You must be thirsty.

Good boy.

You love milk, huh? Drink as much as you want!

-Good boy. -He's drinking a lot!

Finished? Then have some of this.

You'll feel a lot better once you do.

Go on! You can do it!

Yes! Yes!

Keep going!

-That's right! You can stand now! -You can do it!

Very good. You're doing it! That's right!

What's wrong? Put some power in those legs!

-That's it! Like that! -You're almost there!

-Yeah! Yeah! You can do it! -Keep going! You've got this!

-He did it! He did it, Spiderman! -He stood up!

Woo-hoo!

-He really did it! -Yeah!

Restored to health, the dog now had complete faith in Spiderman.

It was also a victory for the love the young boy had for animals.

I'm so glad he's feeling better.

Hopefully we can return him to his owner soon.

His owner was the Iron Cross Army.

Huh?

The Iron Cross Army kidnapped a number of pet dogs.

Where are they now?

This dog must know!

Yeah, good boy. That's right. Good boy.

Yeah.

Good boy.

Will he be okay?

Meanwhile at the amusement park...

the Iron Cross Army's expl*sive plot was getting closer and closer to detonation.

No more. He doesn't have the strength.

It's enough. Rest here, we'll find the Iron Cross Army ourselves.

Don't push yourself!

Don't do this. You'll k*ll yourself.

That's right. You can stop!

Please stop. We know you want to help, but you're going to die!

Spiderman's heart grew heavy.

Tears grew in his eyes seeing this dog carry on without caring about his own life.

Are you okay!?

That's enough. Stop this!

-Are you okay!? -Hang in there!

Don't die!

You were a big help. Thank you.

You better not die...

Stay with him.

The trail leads here?

The bombs are all set!

Very good.

With the remote control, we'll detonate them all!

Behold, the power of the Iron Cross Army!

Damn you, Spiderman!

The Man Moved by a Love for Dogs and All Other Animals, Spiderman!

Spider Net!

Thanks to Spiderman, all of the stolen dogs were released.

Jun!

Jun!

Jun!

Thank goodness...

Thank goodness you're okay, Jun. Phew...

This dog too needed to return to his owner.

Despite once being a powerful enemy, Spiderman found it difficult to part with him.

"Farewell, my comrade."

"We'll meet again."

These thoughts resounded in Spiderman's heart.

Farewell. Stay safe!
