"It was buried along with the dark memories of the war." "Directed by Shin TOGASHI" "Dad..." "Pay attention and draw." "No doodling." "Mr. Matsukawa!" "Mr. Matsukawa!" "Go to your seat!" "Yes, ma'am." "Sorry, ma'am." "Mr. Kaneda, what are you drawing?" "Didn't I tell you not to copy pictures or illustrations?" "I'm drawing what I see." "Wow!" "What's that?" "That's cool." "Is this what you see?" "It's just eating birdseed." "Don't lie, newcomer!" "Hey!" "I saw it flap its wings." "Yeah, for a split second!" "He couldn't have seen the details." "Say, everyone, do you think he can look this clear?" "Class!" "Come on!" "Stop that!" "Quiet now!" "Quiet!" "The teacher said to be quiet!" "Go back to your task!" "If you can't decide, go ahead and buy one." "It's the pleasures of Japanese summer." "This one matches you." "Well..." "I'll take this!" "Ah!" "You scared me!" " I'm home." " Don't scare me like that!" "I'm not a kid anymore." "Phew." "I'm home." " You're late." " I'm sorry." "Hey, good job!" "I'm certainly impressed." "Maybe I'll ask you to do it every day." "Stop joking and get dinner ready." "I'm starving!" "The fact you're starving means you're in good health!" "You silly boy, wearing it inside out." "Shotaro drew a masterpiece again." "Everyone was saying that drawing stinks." "Let them say what they want." "Right?" "Thank you for the food!" "Teriyaki, again?" "So?" "As long as it's tasty, it should be fine." "Thank you for the food." "So, have you made new friends?" "Not really." "I do feel bad." "I didn't think there'd be transfers for jobs in cooking schools." "Don't make an ugly face." "That's why you can't make new friends." "Do you think you'll make it in the new school?" "I guess I'll just have to." "Right?" "I am standing in front of..." "You sound just like your father." "Reiji Takumi's house... the former president of the computer company KOK." "Pass me the teriyaki." "The cause of this damage is not clear... but there are several witnesses saying... that they saw a giant arm-shaped metallic object fly into the sky." "Reporting Live from the site There is a big hole about 5 meters diameter in the roof..." "There is a big hole about 5 meters diameter in the roof... and it appears that the words of the witnesses do make sense." "Reporting live from the house of Reiji Takumi, former KOK President The police are investigating the case." "The police believe that Mr. Takumi, who is currently missing... might have something to do with it." " We'll be on air soon with updates." " We'll be on air soon with updates." " Is something wrong?" "Why did you turn it off?" "Well, let's eat." "Hey, sit up straight." "Uh, Kaneda-kun." "Huh?" "You like R/C model airplanes too?" "Yeah." "You're really good at it." "Not that good." "I've dropped it so many times." "Um, listen..." "What?" "Not everyone in our school is mean." "What?" "Hey, I know a good joke." "Joke?" "Do you know a clock that talks?" "What's that?" "Tick-tack, tick-tack, tic... talk!" "That's dull!" "Tick-tack, tick-tack..." "Talk!" "Talk!" "Talk!" "There's a wolf in the bathroom." "Tell me what it said." "There can't be a wolf in the bathroom!" ""How'll" I do without toilet paper?" "There's no way a giant iron arm bigger than a dump truck can fly through the air!" "There's so many people saying they actually saw it." "Do you think that they'd all lie together?" "I don't mean that, but..." "Anyway, it's a huge basement." "Maybe they were playing soccer." "Do you wanna go out for a drink after this?" "I know a good place nearby." " Mr. Murasame." " Yes, ma'am." "You're fired!" "Hey!" "Did you find out anything?" "There's a gym-size lab in the basement... and it seems that the giant arm flew from there." " What about Reiji Takumi?" " We haven't found him yet." "A giant arm. "All become Zero." What's going on here?" "Hey!" " "All become zero"?" " Zero?" ""All become zero." What could this mean?" "At 3:47 this afternoon for about 2 minutes... the land broadcast system was hijacked by an unidentified source... and the mysterious message was on air." "The police, joined by all the TV stations..." "Come here quickly, we're celebrating." "I baked this at cooking school." " Can I open it?" " Sure." "Whoa!" "Looks good!" "Get the candles ready." "Where are they?" "Oops." "I forgot to buy them." "That's my mom." "What should we do?" "Ah!" "I've got an idea." "Will this do?" "Yeah, that'll do." "Birthday cakes won't do without candles." " Turn off the lights." " Sure." " Let's sing "Happy birthday"." " Mom..." "There's... something I want to ask you." "What is it?" "I've been having weird dreams lately." "Weird dreams?" "There's a small me in a semi-dark, huge room... and there's electric sparkles." "And then I see two giant poles shaped like legs... and someone is suddenly staring at me angrily." "That someone is my dad." "He pushes me away and disappears." "Did this dream happen for real?" "Why did my dad do that to me?" "Did he hate me?" "How could that be true?" "Reiji Takumi's company, KOK, was enormously big, wasn't it?" "KOK was not just a company." "It was a kingdom." "Takumi Kingdom." "Takumi was controlling his computer business all by himself." "But that Takumi Kingdom was shattered into pieces." "It was triggered by KOK's new computers that repeatedly malfunctioned." "The media that praised Takumi had suddenly turned their hands over him." "The sales of KOK's computer declined and the value of stocks collapsed." "Takumi suddenly sold the company three years ago... and disappeared from the world." "And then, a big arm from his house?" "I don't get it." "What are you grinning about?" "You're creepy." "Well, I just thought we're all alone right now." "We can see far away!" "Hi, everyone." "Here's the mascot of Tokyo Tower." "Look, it's Noppon." "Noppon!" " What's the matter?" " What's that?" "Maybe it's some ad." "Takahashi, run." "Hurry!" "Hurry!" "Megumi!" "Come on!" "Bye-bye!" "Amazing!" "Everyone, please stop what you're doing." "There was a big accident nearby and an evacuation order was issued." "It's very dangerous here." "Please go home immediately." "It's a robot!" "Run!" "Mrs. Kaneda, what are you doing?" "Hurry!" "Excuse me!" "Excuse me!" "Mr. Furuta!" "Can you hear me?" "Mom!" "Mom..." "You must be Shotaro." "She is just sleeping from the medicine." "She had me worried there for a while... but the doctor said she just fractured her leg and bruised her back." "Your mother..." "She froze where she was the minute she heard the word "robot."" "Why didn't she run away?" "Mr. Taura, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Commissioner, has arrived." "Is it true that the criminals made the statement?" "Have you identified the robot?" "Please give us your comment!" "Giant Robot Terrorism Task Force HQs Later, okay?" "Everyone, please be quiet." "Everyone, please be quiet." "Members of the media community!" "Please step back." " Good morning, sirs." " Good morning!" "Please be seated." ""All Become Zero."" ""Black Ox will take over Tokyo two weeks later."" ""Good luck."" "Someone hacked into the homepage of the Metropolitan Police... and a person who calls himself "Zero" sent us this message." "Black Ox?" "In two weeks?" "As you all may know... the terrorist, Zero... has sent a giant robot, Black Ox already." "And has brought tremendous disaster to the city of Tokyo." " To warn of an attack in two weeks..." " To warn of an attack in two weeks..." " Did you hear?" "They're inviting a counter-terrorism specialist to our department." "Really?" "Supposed to be top-notch in computer and robot technology at MIT." "It sucks!" "Sounds like we underlings are not needed to solve the case." "Yeah, sort of." "Ah!" "Looks like he's already here." "I'm out of business cards right now." "Hello." "Hello." "Hello." "I'm Ejima of the Investigation Division." "I'm Murasame in the same division." " I'm..." " Well, he's not the one." "He's Dr. Kawai, the assistant to the specialist, Mami Tachibana." "I'm Kawai." "There she is." "Over here." "She's come upon our special request." "This is Ms. Mami Tachibana from MIT." "Oh, she is?" "I'm Mami." "Nice to meet you." "What a beautiful girl!" "Let me get straight to the point." "Did you find out anything?" "You smell like tobacco." "You'll die young." "What?" "I think this is made by Reiji Takumi." " What?" " What?" "The very person that made Black Ox must be Reiji Takumi." "There's no one else that can build this kind of robot." "Then "Zero" is Reiji Takumi?" "Who the heck is Takumi?" "He's the world authority in artificial intelligence research." "He is the genius of all geniuses." "Shoichiro Kaneda" "Hello?" "Kaneda residence." "You must be Shotaro Kaneda." "Yes." "My name is Ayabe." "I want to meet with you to talk about what he has left for you." "Pardon?" "You must be Mr. Shotaro Kaneda." "Yes." "Step into the car, please." "Please." "I brought him, sir." "So you're Shotaro Kaneda." "You've grown." "Pardon?" "I am Ayabe." "Please come." "I used to be... an assistant for your grandfather..." "Dr. Shogoro Kaneda... and a guardian for your father, Dr. Shoichiro Kaneda." "My life has always been with the Kaneda family... but I never thought I'd come back here while I was alive." "This is your father's laboratory." "What?" "Please, go on ahead." "You've been here before." "I have?" "You remember now, don't you?" "This is Tetsujin No. 28." "The first Tetsujin was made by your grandfather for military use." "Then your father took over... and remade it many times, wishing it be used for peaceful purposes... and finally completed this 28th robot." "You must know where the device to control this robot was put away." "That is the remote-controller to operate Tetsujin." "You used your power as an eidetic... and accurately recalled your memories as a three-year-old." ""E-E-Eidetic"?" "It's a person with the skills of inputting what you see as you see it... and recalling those memories accurately anytime you wish." "You are going to use that skill to operate Tetsujin." "Your father left Tetsujin for you." "What?" "I don't believe that." "You'll understand soon enough." "Now, push the buttons." "That can't be." "Why should my father leave it to me?" "You're a coward unlike your father!" "Coward?" "No way!" "All units on patrol!" "Black Ox has appeared in Kasumigaseki." "All vehicles to respond immediately!" "All units on patrol!" "There he is!" "There he is!" "Ready?" "Black Ox is coming this way!" "Terrorist Zero's destroyer is about to attack the town of Kasumigaseki!" "Don't back down!" "Stay on!" "Stay on!" "Let's shoot it!" "Open fire!" "It's not working." "Huh?" "What is that?" "Are you sure I'm the one to do this?" "Of course." "Shotaro, what are you doing?" "Quick!" "Make Tetsujin move." "Yes, sir!" "That robot is fighting against Black Ox." "I can't do this!" "Damn you!" "Let's go." " Hurry!" " Get in position!" "Shotaro!" "Don't take your hands off the remote-controller!" "What?" "It's the only lifeline for Tetsujin." "Yes, sir." "Tetsujin..." "Call an ambulance!" "Hurry!" "Damn it!" "This is unbelievable!" "The Diet Building, the symbol of the government for 68 years... is going to be destroyed?" "!" "You might have meant to fight Black Ox... but all you did is cause more damage!" "We don't want you bringing out such a worthless robot without a permit!" "Worthless robot?" "You watch your mouth!" "Call him the great Tetsujin No. 28." "I don't know if it's called Tetsujin or whatever... but what were you thinking, letting that little boy control that thing?" "Anyway, you've violated the law." "You'll certainly receive harsh punishment." "So be ready." "I'll be ready." "Hey, you, get off there." "Quick!" "I also have a lot of things to say to you." "Do you know what'll happen to Tetsujin?" "There's already an order to destroy it immediately." "Hey, boy, come over here." "Never mind." "Come on, old man." "We got to give you a hearing." "All right." "This way." "Come over here." "Are you the one who was operating Tetsujin?" "Yes." "You were terrible." " Just as I thought." " Let's destroy it." "No one can build a robot that can withstand Black Ox." "My ideal world will not come true unless everything is destroyed." "What's after Tokyo?" "My greatest ideal world will be controlled by my computers." "New York?" "Or London?" "What's your wish?" "That's what we call "addicted to nicotine."" "Oh, shut up." "We'll be transporting Tetsujin to Mr. Ayabe's lab." "So you'll be demolishing it there?" "We're not going to demolish him." "We'll rebuild him." "What the heck did you say?" "We've obtained permission from the office." "There's no question of responsibility to you, Chief Ohtsuka!" "What?" "I'm going to make Tetsujin strong enough to defeat Black Ox." "Won't you to help us, Mr. Ayabe?" "Rebuild Tetsujin?" "Really?" "Can you check the knees?" "Say, this is EMP, isn't it?" "The one that Black Ox exposed Tetsujin to." "EMP?" "That's why Tetsujin's electric circuits were damaged and couldn't be controlled." "I have to admit, Black Ox is powerful." "Well, but..." "Tetsujin's head was not crushed when Black Ox stepped on him." "These workmen put their souls into Tetsujin." "I definitely wish... to rebuild Tetsujin." "Any objection?" "I'm looking forward to working with you!" "Tetsujin is awesome!" "He's probably much stronger than we imagine." "He lost the other day... but if he really shows what he's got, he'll definitely knock Black Ox down." "Don't you think so?" "Tetsujin is the worst." "What?" "Do you want to see Tetsujin?" "He was demolished." "Well, he's being worked on." "We'll make him strong enough to defeat Black Ox." "What?" "I want you to operate Tetsujin again." "So what do you say, Shotaro?" "Would you like to try one more time?" "Why don't you just give up on it?" "Even if it's rebuilt, that old machine will never defeat Black Ox!" "Is that so?" "You're more... gutless than I thought." "What?" "Listen... a boy's life... begins with adventures." "Hey, you look bored." "Since there's no school today, do you wanna play with us?" "What is it?" "You wanna pick a fight?" "Don't mess with me!" "You're annoying!" "Damn you!" "Get off of me!" "Matsu!" "Come on, Matsu!" "Stop!" "Please!" "Stop!" "Leave him alone!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Don't!" "Stop it!" "If he's hurt, who's gonna control Tetsujin?" "What?" "What did you say?" "Shotaro's the one who operates Tetsujin." "Are you serious?" "Shotaro, please!" "Make Tetsujin fight for us!" "Shut up!" "Shotaro Kaneda." "The son of the late Shoichiro Kaneda, who was called the genius of robotics." "Shoichiro Kaneda." "His name takes me back." "I studied in the same lab with him a long time ago." "How old is Shotaro?" "12 years old." "If your son, Hikaru, were alive, he'd be the same age." ""If" he were alive?" "Are you saying that Hikaru is dead?" "Shotaro, there's someone here to see you." "What?" "Who is it?" "You must be Shotaro Kaneda." "My name is Reiji Takumi." "How did you feel, fighting with my Black Ox?" "What?" "I've always wanted to meet you." "What do you want?" "I wanted to find out in person... whether you should be accepted in this world... or if you're a fool and should be eliminated." "Who has the right to decide that?" "I do." "Why do you exist in this world... while my son Hikaru does not?" "If there's a reason for that, show me." "Stop it!" "What are you saying?" "My mom was injured because of you!" "Are you... afraid to die?" "Shotaro!" "Shotaro!" "Sh-Shotaro!" "What happened?" "Come over here." "Are you all right?" "Are you all right?" "Are you all right?" "There's something I have to tell you." "It's about Dad, isn't it?" "It was the day I first took you to his lab." "He was... so excited to see you." "Come on now, Shotaro." "Shotaro's really strong." "Daddy knows it very well." " Come on." " Hold it!" "Shotaro, wear this!" "Mommy's putting on your warrior helmet." " Come on now." " Now get him!" "Good!" "But you can't beat me like that!" "That's not good enough." "Tickle!" "Tickle!" "Tickle!" " Not fair!" " Not fair?" "Good job!" "More tickling!" " One more!" " That's too easy!" "He hit me hard!" "Stay here." "Daddy, where are you going?" "Don't come!" "Run!" "Shotaro!" "Dad was trying to save me back then." "That's why he pushed me away." "He didn't hate me." "He loved you from the bottom of his heart." "Your father left you in charge of Tetsujin." "But I didn't like the idea." "I wanted you to be an average kid just like the other kids." "I wanted you to grow open and natural, having nothing to do with Tetsujin." "That's why I was afraid to talk to you about your dad." "If I told you..." "I thought you'd end up... sharing your fate with Tetsujin like your father." "I'm sorry." "Believe and march forward." " From Dad" "Believe and march forward." "Shotaro!" "Let me pilot Tetsujin again!" "Please." "We've been waiting for you." "This is the view from Tetsujin's eyes." "You're going to operate Tetsujin from his point of view from now on." "Start moving." "Are you gonna last?" "If you do this for long, you'll get sick and dizzy... and you'll get a headache." "Can you handle it?" "I'm fine." "Let me continue." "What material is used for this part?" "That's aluminum welding." "There are limits to aluminum welding." "It has to be much harder and stronger overall." "Then we need to use forged duralumin." "And I want to make Tetsujin fly this time." "Fly?" "Finally Tetsujin is going to fly?" "It was Dr. Kaneda's dream, wasn't it?" "Faster." "What's the matter?" "You actually felt Black Ox's punch, didn't you?" "You have to fight back." "When attacked, attack back." "Yes, ma'am." "Don't turn away." "Face him!" "What's wrong?" "You should know Black Ox's moves by now!" "Use your eidetic image ability." "No!" "As long as you're afraid, you'll never win." "Listen, you have to counter his punch." "I said aim as he comes at you!" "I know!" "But I can't do it." "My body won't listen to me." "Are you okay?" "Where does it hurt?" "Hey, are you all right?" "Come on, say something." "Actually..." "I've been anxious to praise you." "You really are a hard worker." "So you do praise someone." "I've always been good at studying since I was young." "But my parents said nothing about it." "They pretended they were watching... but they never knew how I felt." "I was determined to get good grades to impress them... and turned into a weird girl like this." "I certainly wouldn't like to have a friend like me." "That's not true!" "I'd like someone like you, Mami." "You "like" me?" "I didn't mean..." "I mean, as a friend." "Of course!" "Hey!" "Are you ready?" "You foolish ones." "You all will see me again." "The final battle with me and Tetsujin No. 28 will take place soon." "Watch carefully." "In this battle... you will see how powerful I am... and that Tetsujin is just a powerless toy." "I will destroy the world sooner or later." "Then I will create a new perfect world." "All of you will then volunteer to become my servants." "Reiji Takumi Former KOK Chairman" "Tetsujin... do I really have what it takes to fight Black Ox?" "Listen, Tetsujin... can I really do this?" "Young man, you're gonna win!" "Good luck!" "Now you can't run or hide." "Are you afraid?" "I'm afraid, too." "But your only weapon is your courage to fight." "Miss Mami." "Mr. Ayabe." "Please watch till the end and see what I can do." "Black Ox has appeared in the bay area!" "Everyone, get ready!" " Sir!" " Let's go!" "Shotaro... listen." "Your father and your grandfather are always with you." "Keep that in mind." " Yes." "And my mom, too." " Of course." "Let's go, Shotaro!" "Yes, ma'am!" "Good luck to you!" "We're counting on you!" "Here we go, Tetsujin!" "Ouch." "Ouch." "What are you doing on the ground?" "That's not nice." "You're so mean!" "Where were you going?" "To where Tetsujin is." "Then hop on quickly!" "What?" "We're going there, too." "Get in position!" "Here we go." "Reiji Takumi must be hiding nearby!" "Find him immediately!" "Yes, sir!" "Hurry up, Onizuka!" "Shut up!" "Here we go!" "We're coming, Shotaro!" " Tetsujin!" " Tetsujin!" " Look!" " Sir!" "How silly!" "We're already protected against the EMP." "Go, Tetsujin!" "Please, God... keep Reiji safe." "You're OK!" "This is nothing!" "Right!" "Black Ox has observed and read all of Tetsujin's movement patterns." "You mean Tetsujin's moves are all being predicted?" "Yes." "But that goes the same for Tetsujin." "Shotaro should have memorized Black Ox's moves." "But my hands can't catch up." "Can't you do something?" "Not good, Tetsujin!" "Dodge it!" " Shotaro!" " Shotaro!" "Beat him." "It's a piece of cake!" " You can do it!" " He's right." "Give it your best!" " Go, Shotaro!" " We know you can do it!" " That's it!" " You can do it, Shotaro!" "Shotaro, hop in!" "Step on it!" "Tetsujin's camera eyes are not recovering." "The power remains out." "That's not good." "Go faster!" "Tetsujin!" "Stop!" "I got it!" "Stand up." "Stand up, Tetsujin!" "Please!" "Stand up!" "Darling... please protect Shotaro." "Believe and go forward." "Right, Dad?" "Dad?" "Come on, Tetsujin." "Stand up." "Stand up." "Yes, Tetsujin." "It's getting up!" "Here we go." " All right!" " He did it!" " He did it!" " We won!" "Hikaru!" "Get up!" "Come on!" "Get up!" "Tetsujin, go!" "Finish it!" "What's wrong?" "Finish him off!" "Quickly!" "No." "It's enough." "Go ahead and finish him off!" "Destroy Black Ox completely!" "My father did not create Tetsujin to destroy something." "I've arrested Reira Kijima." "Well done." "Hear this, Reiji Takumi!" "Black Ox is no longer functional." "Your partner Reira Kijima is arrested." "You can't get away with this." "Come on out!" "Black Ox has all the data of his son recorded." "For him Black Ox is the reincarnation of his late son, Hikaru." "Do you think he'd let his son die uselessly without doing anything?" "What are you saying?" "Black Ox is equipped with a nuclear warhead." "Its fire button is in the hands of..." "Reiji." " What did you say?" " A nuclear warhead?" "Mr. Reiji Takumi, can you hear me?" "There is no one in this world who has to be eliminated!" "Not only human beings." "There are no robots that deserve to be eliminated!" "Tetsujin taught me that." "Stop fighting." "Please!" "Reiji!" "Reiji!" "That's him!" "Take him into custody!" "Catch the helicopter!" "Exercise caution!" "No!" "Who said to shoot him?" "You morons!" "Stop!" "Don't shoot!" "Don't shoot!" "You foolish ones!" "Reiji has pushed the button." "Wh-what?" "Black Ox will explode in 10 minutes, and the world will be destroyed." "Tetsujin, take Black Ox." "We must pray that Tetsujin will clear the atmosphere before the explosion." "Say... the remote-controller wasn't broken that time, was it?" "I pushed the buttons, but Tetsujin's foot wouldn't move." "That's strange." "It's as if Tetsujin has a heart of his own." "But..." "Tetsujin doesn't exist anymore." "Can it be?" "Tetsujin!" "He's back!" " He did it!" " Hooray!" "Mister, he did it!" "He did it!" " All right!" " Way to go!" "Awesome, Tetsujin!" "He did it!" "He did it!" "He did it!" "Shotaro..." "Shotaro." "I knew you could do it." "Mom." "How are you?" "Are you getting along with your classmates?" "I've found since then... that Black Ox had a miraculous power system built in." "It needs no oil or nuclear power." "Any great invention can be good or evil." "It depends how you use it." "I feel like I was born again since I met you guys." "I'll never forget you all." "You know, I love you." "As a friend, of course." "Hello!" "Hello!" " Thanks." " You're welcome."
