.
So,
Do you remember.
I'll be waiting here, forever.
The City of Rain
Dark Industries Fansub - NOT FOR SALE OR PROFIT
Jiro?
Jiro's a suspect?
Yes.
Witness' in the vicinity of the scene saw a young man carrying a guitar and the police are searching for him.
Well, it is true that Jiro was involved.
Jiro hasn't done anything wrong!
Yes, I know that!
He saved me too.
But people don't know what happened.
It's a mystery to them.
Of course the media's going to make a big deal of it.
This has turned into trouble.
But I'm more concerned with Jiro.
Or rather whoever is after his Gemini circuit.
It seems like there's some big organization behind this.
Have you heard anything from your father, Dr. Koumiyouji?
No....
I see.
Well then, I'll look into that too.
That's all I have for today.
No matter how many times I look at this, I can't figure anything out.
Why do I have such a bad feeling?
That time...
Why did I protect Jiro?
Sis.
Masaru, what's wrong?
Sis, let's go look for Jiro.
Masaru?
I want to see Jiro again.
I want to talk with him more.
I want to play with him.
Because, he's family, right?
Yes, you're right.
Let's go find Jiro.
If I can find Jiro,
maybe I can figure out what this feeling is.
Why won't everyone leave me alone.
Of course, it couldn't be.
Did you want something here?
Huh?
If not, then could you move?
I'm sorry.
You should go on home.
This isn't the kind of place for guys like you.
I have no place to go home to.
I can't go home.
Good, so you've found him?
This city...
Perfect, go ahead with project 06.
You cannot escape from the hands of Dark.
You will die witnessing my terror.
Ms. Miyuki,
Oh, you're still here?
Is it bad of me to be here?
Not really.
I'm the only one who lives here.
If I'm a bother, I'll leave right away.
I didn't say you were, did I?
If you want to stay, stay.
If you want to go home, you should go ahead.
Ms. Miyuki, why did you let me in?
I have a habit of picking up stray dogs.
I picked up one before too.
Right there where you were.
Sitting there like that, I thought he came back.
Of course that would never happen.
Someone important to you?
What?
This person that you wish would come back.
Yes, I suppose so.
We were only together a few days.
But don't they say those kind of memories can never be forgotten?
Does that mean you love him?
Full of questions, aren't you?
You don't say anything about yourself, that's not fair, don't you think?
There's nothing for me to say.
Nothing to talk about.
Nowhere to go home to.
Nobody waiting for me.
Ms. Miyuki?
You startled me.
You talk exactly like him.
But you know,
People you wouldn't expect to may be waiting for you.
Maybe you just don't realize it.
Who do you want to go home to?
Alright, enough already, go!
Damn!
At this rate, we can't do anything.
Shall I lend you Dark's strength?
Professor Gill?
I will help you.
I'm grateful.
My project is stalled, and...
All you need to do is do as I, the Professor, say.
Then I will lend you Dark's strength.
Y-yes.
He always gives me a bad feeling.
Yo, Touru! How about you?
Wanna join us?
Sure.
Alright, we've got a job.
Get together as many guys as you can.
What's up?
It's a big job.
Big money, too.
He was a man who didn't talk about himself at all.
He was here for many days while his injuries healed,
but he wouldn't tell me anything aside from his name.
Why did you fall in love with someone like him?
Who knows.
There's no logic to feelings.
I just felt it, so that's what happened.
It's just...
That's a beautiful flower.
Yes, it's the flower I love most.
It matches you.
Thank you.
I could tell he was a kind person.
Although he may actually have been a bad person.
It didn't matter to me.
Because you believed that.
People have to believe in something in order to go on living.
You have someone too, right?
Someone like that.
I'm going to work.
You can help yourself to whatever to eat.
Bye.
I...
What should I believe?
Really, this isn't a place to bring a young woman and kid at night to.
If Brother Jiro is there, then we're going too!
Well, it's not for sure either.
I just have information that someone who looked like him was there.
Even then, we have to go!
I understand.
I sympathize.
This is the optimum sample to test Dark's latest weapon.
It is fate that he is here too.
This city....
You understand your instructions, right?
Place these according to the directions you were given.
What are these?
There's no need for you to know.
Hey, it ain't something dangerous to us, is it?
You've been compensated enough for that, haven't you?
If you value your own lives, you won't stay long in this city.
In one hour, this place will look like a ghost town.
Miyuki...
The sound of this flute!
If I can hear this sound...
that means there's a robot near by!
I have to get away from here.
Who's there!
Where's Miyuki?
Could you be...
The man Ms. Miyuki was talking about?
She ain't here?
What rotten timing....
Wait!
You're....
You!
Why do you not follow orders?
Are you betraying us?
So there's a spy on me?
Dark doesn't forgive traitors.
Do not interfere, Kikaider, I must dispose of him!
Hurry!
Are you alright?
I have to get you to a doctor.
There's no time!
What?
You have to get Miyuki and leave this city.
What do you mean?
And what was that about betraying Dark?
It wasn't supposed to be like this.
Looks like my luck's up.
Hurry and take Miyuki away!
Wait!
Ms. Miyuki's been waiting all this time for you.
Please go back to her!
It don't concern me.
Then why'd you come?
Don't you really want to go back?
You love Ms. Miyuki too, right?
Then why don't you go back?
How can I face her.
I'm a horrible person.
As long as I get money, I'll do any dirty deed.
Even something that'll destroy an entire city.
What?
We're setting these up to surround the city.
I don't know how they work,
but once they activate, I'm sure all the people of this city are doomed.
That's Dark's orders?
Anyone whose a part of the underground, you've at least heard of the organization called Dark.
I figured something big was up when that guy came to us to do this job.
No one who has made Dark their enemy has ever lived.
What are you going to do?
Run, of course.
I don't want to die yet either.
Are you going to leave the city like this?
It doesn't concern me,
who lives or dies.
Then why did you come to warn Ms. Miyuki?
You aren't the kind of person who would abandon this city that Ms. Miyuki lives in.
Don't talk like you know me!
No matter what kind of person you are,
Ms. Miyuki said she will wait for you!
To love someone,
That's what it means, right?
To be called out by a punk like you,
Looks like my time really is up.
I know where all of these were placed.
I've got a debt to this city and Miyuki.
I'll help you too.
Go on ahead,
I'll take care of this.
But...
Hurry!
Oh no you don't!
Why?
Why is Dark...
...why is Professor Gill doing this?
I do not know the reason.
We only execute Professor Gill's orders.
You do not follow orders, you are defective.
That is why you are unnecessary.
Humans are also unnecessary to Dark.
They will be destroyed!
Even if Dark has no need for them.
All humans are valuable to someone!
They all have someone waiting for them.
You are unnecessary!
That may be so,
But...
There is someone I want to see!
What's that?
Oh, Mitsuko!
Sis!
You are defective!
Unnecessary things must be destroyed!
It's true that I am imperfect.
I am ugly.
But even then...
I want to see Mitsuko!
Jiro...
This is the last one.
Looks like I've paid back my debt.
Looks like it wasn't meant to be after all....
Didn't I tell you, Ms. Miyuki's waiting for you?
Why?
I'm home.
So...
You've gone home...
If you meet him somewhere, please tell him...
I...
I'll be waiting...
Waiting here forever.
People walk looking to the future.
But forgiveness for the past can suddenly swoop down on their shoulders.
This beast called truth.
It sinks it's fangs into the pale neck of the young woman.
She did not want to know.
But she found out.
Everything was a lie.
Next time, on Kikaider, The Animation,
Fragment of Negative.
Mitsuko, your body is soft.
Masaru's hand is soft too.
I like both Masaru and you, Mitsuko.
I'm so stupid.
What am I thinking.
Jiro is just a robot.
Are you surprised? He's hurt, sad, and angry.
You said so yourself, right, Mitsuko?
I think you're the one who thinks of Jiro as human the most.
Like a human....
Mr. Hattori.
Was everything you just said true?
Yes.
I don't have anything to call proof, but I'm certain of my information.
It can't be...
Mitsuko,
Your father, Dr. Koumiyouji...
Sis!
What's wrong!
Mister!
Where's my sister?
Sis! Say something!
Sis!
Fragment of Negative
Dark Industries Fansub - NOT FOR SALE OR PROFIT
People have to believe in something in order to go on living.
You have someone too, right?
Someone like that.
Mitsuko...
Do you want to see Mitsuko, Kikaider?
Who're you?
I'm the one who has Mitsuko.
What?!
If you want to see her, then you'll come.
This is where....
It looks like Kikaider will be coming.
Coming here to get you.
What are you going to do to Jiro! Who are you?
I wish you wouldn't look at me like that.
This is what society might call, a conscientious meeting.
That detective is only unconscious.
And I haven't done anything to your brother.
On top of that, I'm a feminist.
Answer me!
I have nothing against Kikaider or yourself.
However, my orders are to kill Kikaider.
No, no, it's destroy.
That's right, I must use the correct term.
To destroy him.
Why must you?
Didn't I tell you? It's my orders.
You're...
A humanoid robot.
That is, robots cannot disobey orders.
Do you dislike robots?
However, I do enjoy following orders.
Until Kikaider arrives, please enjoy your stay in this mansion.
However, you are under orders not to leave this mansion.
Because there are many traps laid out.
If you get caught in one, I cannot guarantee your life.
Who are you?
Whose orders are you following?
For now, let's just say it is in the hands of Professor Gill.
Professor... Gill?
Your father,
Dr. Koumiyouji,
was receiving financing and aid from a foreigner called Gill Halburt, often called Professor Gill.
Professor Gill?
That's right.
It seems he's the head of the organization called Dark.
Dark?
Well, this kind of under the table financing isn't uncommon.
I asked around quite a bit, but everyone seems frightened.
Saying they didn't want to talk about Dark.
And things like if you value your life to not become involved with Professor Gill.
Why did my father get involved with such an organization?
Yes, that's right.
I understand.
Please tell Professor Gill that.
Mother...
I know...
I...
This place....
I'm sure you and Masaru know that your mother was Dr. Koumiyouji's second wife.
Yes.
Did the Doctor explain to you how they met?
Well, about his former wife,
She died of an illness.
That they had a child, he would have been our half brother, named Ichiro.
But he died in an accident.
Father didn't tell us anything besides that.
And so?
His first wife died, and then his first son died in an accident.
After that he remarried.
However,
the person who introduced your mother, her maiden name was Chigusa Sakamoto, to the Doctor,
Well, it seems...
was this man Professor Gill.
In other words, the Doctor remarried this woman introduced to him by Gill who was financing him.
And then you and Masaru were born.
There's no question,
This really is....
Say, mother?
What is it?
Who's Gill?
Is he your friend?
Or is he Dad's friend?
Well, let's see...
He's both your father's and mother's friend.
Anyway, Mitsuko, have you thought of a name for the baby?
Yup! Masaru!
What if it's a girl?
But I want a brother!
I see.
But think of a girl's name too.
This place,
It's the house we used to live in.
Long before the house we moved into now.
I'm sure this is where we lived.
I don't understand.
Why did that man....
Why here.
In other words, the Doctor remarried this woman introduced to him by Gill who was financing him.
And then you and Masaru were born.
It seems that the Doctor and Professor Gill were closely involved.
Where's mother?
Where'd mother go?
Your mother...
She's not coming home.
No!
Who's going to give Masaru milk?
Who, father?
Mitsuko,
From today, you're Masaru's mother.
I told you, it was dangerous to go outside of the mansion.
Just what is the meaning of this?
What is that?
Don't play dumb!
This place is where long ago, my father and I, and my mother lived!
Why did you bring me to this house?
That's simple.
Because that was Professor Gill's orders.
What?
If Professor Gill says to bring you here,
Then we humanoid robots obey those orders.
That's it.
Don't try to fool me!
What does Professor Gill have to do with my father!
You've got a stronger will than you look, don't you.
I don't mind women like that.
Your father, Dr. Koumiyouji,
Why he built Kikaider,
That is something I have no need to know.
And what happened between Professor Gill, Koumiyouji, and your family, I have no idea.
However, there is one truth here.
Your father included the conscience circuit in Kikaider.
He developed the will to disobey orders.
Disobey?
That's right. Humanoid robots were designed to follow orders 100 percent,
The ability to veto that....
In other words, he was given the power to choose his orders.
My boss, Professor Gill, finds this disagreeable and annoying.
Robots were built to serve humans.
To have one that does not follow orders.
It is intolerable to him.
Eliminate the conscience circuit, destroy Kikaider.
That is how it is.
I can't let you do that!
Why not?
Because...
You'll have to pardon me,
When discussing problems and symptoms, I like to take this posture.
Do you understand, this is a tragedy.
According to the testimony of literature, this is a tragedy.
Tragedy?
Kikaider was born of a tragedy.
Gemini, that thing called the conscience circuit.
This conscience circuit causes Kikaider to suffer.
To cure him of this pain has made enemies of the very machines he came from.
It's not just that.
Humans also have become afraid of him.
Not a human, not a machine.
A pathetic incomplete monster.
No...
That's not true!
Yes, it is.
Humans simply hate that which they do not understand.
They reject those things.
He has no place.
Are you feeling pity for him?
It would be better not to.
A human's pity does no good for a machine.
No!
No good at all.
You think so? Then how about if I told you this,
That Kikaider, he loves you.
Now then, what will you do?
How will that help you?
This pity...
"Oh, I feel so sorry for you Jiro."
"I will comfort you."
"Because we are good friends."
"But please don't get any closer that that."
There's no need for that!
This is the closing act.
You cannot appeal to this love.
Perhaps between humans, but for pity between human and machine to become love, that is impossible!
Is what I say wrong?
No, that's not true!
I...
Are you saying you love him?
Well...
Are you saying, you a human, love a machine?
Well...
Oh, pardon me.
Looks like I'm disqualified as a feminist.
But those tears are the conceit of a human.
What do you mean?
Humans are conceited.
This concept of a conscience circuit, in the first place is conceited.
No...
There is nothing as unreliable as a human's conscience.
Take and judge all humans.
Given 100 humans, there's 100 different consciences.
There's no way a human hand could reproduce such a thing.
These tears from one who loves a machine, are terribly conceited.
That is what I see and how I feel.
What?
After all, I am the victim of Dr. Koumiyouji's experiments.
I am a humanoid bat robot.
Koumiyouji's radical flying creation.
I am the monster produced by the cold heart of a scientist.
No!
Neither human, nor machine.
On top of that, neither bird nor animal.
Flitting between all that.
Taken from the wings of a bat,
The Doctor's transformation is quite incredible.
No!
It's not true!
Father wouldn't...
No, here is proof of Koumiyouji's cruelty.
It is inside here.
You see, Koumiyouji,
He installed a conscience circuit inside of my body too.
And to top it off, it is even more incomplete than Kikaider's.
But that time of agony has become short.
The suffering of being neither human, nor machine,
no one else can understand.
Father...
Why?
Why did you become involved with a person like Professor Gill?
Why did mother leave?
To outfit a humanoid robot with a conscience circuit,
Why are you making them suffer so?
Father.
Just what were you doing?
This...
So, you're here.
Records of a distant past.
A scattered past.
You cannot retrieve something that is lost.
The newly born,
just get swallowed into the tragedy.
One tragedy begets another.
An endless chain is woven.
Everything started from there.
Next time, on Kikaider, The Animation,
Afterglow of Sadness
Father, ready any time you are.
Okay, let's start it up.
Ichiro!
Brother...
Afterglow of Sadness
Dark Industries Fansub - NOT FOR SALE OR PROFIT
Pardon me.
Doctor...
Doctor Koumiyouji, isn't it?
And you're?
It seems the karma from your late Ichiro's study abroad has brought us together.
Ichiro?
My name is Gill Halburt.
It's nice to meet you.
This letter, Ichiro sent it to you?
Yes.
If it isn't rude, I wanted to answer Ichiro's letter.
This robot you are trying to build,
Or rather,
This humanoid robot, I would like to finance it.
I'm grateful for the thought, but...
But now...
I have no intention of continuing.
There's no point.
Ichiro's gone.
There is nothing left for me.
My deepest condolences.
But you see, this has become Ichiro's last wish.
Do you intend to leave it unfulfilled?
I don't understand very complex things,
But to grant your son's wish,
I think that's something that should be done.
Mrs...
I'm not his Mrs.
Oh!
I'm sorry, let me introduce you.
She is a librarian,
My name is Chigusa Sakamoto.
Mother...
Just what were you and Gill...
Do not be afraid, Kikaider.
Do what you can, but in the end evil will send you to heaven.
I am the only one who can understand your suffering.
How far can I trust Gill?
In exchange for financing, he's ordered one after another new humanoid robot.
These humanoid robots.
What does Gill's intend to do with these?
Last night too, Gill's plan for the development of the bat robot.
In the middle of development of the conscience circuit.
I installed the Gemini in this robot.
Perhaps it will stop Gill if something bad develops.
Why this aching conscience circuit?
This tortured conscience?
Ridiculous!
No!
It can't be!
How...
How could I have been so foolish.
That accident was Gill's....
It's not true, is it?
Mother!
Kikaider is...
Your Jiro,
I have defeated him.
Father, ready any time you are.
Alright, let's start it up.
Ichiro!
How foolish I was.
That accident, everything, was Gill's work.
Just to get close to me, Ichiro was killed.
On top of that...
On top of that, it's unbelievable...
My wife was a spy for Gill!
I understand.
Please tell Professor Gill that.
Mother,
Who's Gill?
Mother!
No!
That's not true!
It's not...
Mother...
Wait...
Jiro....
Mitsuko.
Seems you've come around.
Jiro!
You're okay!
I don't know if it's good or bad luck.
It may have been easier if he had remained in there.
Jiro!
That's right, Kikaider.
Now it's time for some real enjoyment.
We must perform our parts, in this tragedy.
Jiro!
Mitsuko!
Jiro!
Mitsuko!
Just a simple hologram,
Didn't think you'd fall for it so easily.
This thin image of this girl,
Have you forgotten what she really looks like?
I expected a better show of intelligence from a fellow robot.
What would you like for a requiem?
Mozart?
Verdi?
Or how about something more fitting?
What are you saying?
For the funeral of an inelegant robot.
Don't you want to send him off with some beautiful music?
Stop it!
Don't be ridiculous!
Ridiculous, you say?
Well, then it can't be helped.
We will dispose of the music, it will be a simple ceremony.
They are my cute little servants.
They are no ordinary bats.
Are they robots too?
They are cybernetic.
They are just ordinary bats that have an electrical discharge device.
However, with that many numbers, even Kikaider will have a problem.
Jiro!
You have to change!
Hurry, switch and get out of there!
Jiro!
No, I won't!
I will not change.
Not in front of Mitsuko.
Jiro,
why?
What's so funny!
Don't you see?
He doesn't want you to see his ugly form when he changes.
He'd rather die than have the person he loves see him like that.
Mitsuko.
Don't...
Don't look at me!
Bravo!
Magnificent!
Kikaider, you've played your part perfectly!
What a marvelous tragedy!
Shut up!!
Jiro!
There's no reason to be ashamed of your own appearance!
The agony of having no choice but to fight your brothers.
The agony of fighting evil feelings.
That agony is what clenches that half of your body.
It's because of your honest heart that it's drowning you.
That is what is taking shape and appearing before you.
Erase it, there's no need to be embarrassed!
Jiro!
Why?
It is almost time for the final curtain call.
Farewell, Kikaider.
I will have my servants fulfill their duty.
Jiro!
I cannot say that watching the miserable is a good hobby.
But the end is in view.
Let us wait for that moment.
Jiro,
Jiro will not lose!
He will change and escape.
Impossible!
You cannot understand the way he thinks.
He is neither machine nor human.
It is because of this that his existance is irrational.
Only Kikaider and I have that.
We hate having this conscience.
We hate this heart that can be tainted by evil.
And this ability to love someone has not been erased.
There is no one who can comprehend that.
Then, does it mean you can understand my feelings?
I think that all humans are happy.
I believe that all humans were born loved by someone.
You are not the only one who thinks they are all alone.
There are many others suffering through that!
Don't make me laugh!
You think it's a joke?
That may be so.
But,
Jiro is still fighting.
Even though he's been called a monster,
Even if everyone is afraid of him.
He's always alone.
This place...
this is father's old laboratory.
This is where brother died, isn't it.
If that accident never happened, we all wouldn't be suffering like this.
There would have been no need for all this desolation.
We were all born crying.
How Shakespearean.
However, after all, you humans cannot understand.
Because for us, there will never come the day when that anguish will be erased.
What is this sound?
Sound?
It couldn't be!
Jiro!
What's this?
Looks like he's producing a sound.
He's interfering with the bat's sonar.
But how?
I see.
His fingers are picking up the oscillations.
He's transforming it with the circuits within his body!
Magnificent, Kikaider.
I shall finish you off!
I will be waiting outside!
Do you seriously intend to fight in that form?
Well then, that is your choice.
Prepare yourself, Kikaider!
How foolish.
It appears you really wish to die looking like a human.
Well then, I will grant you that wish!
Is that how you want it?
How's this!
Farewell, Kikaider.
This will be your end!
Mitsuko!
Why did you...
Deep inside, my heart was wavering.
What you said about you having that same suffering within you.
That was all.
So is this what it means to have a heart?
I now understand it is something that cannot be measured by reason.
Kikaider knows love.
To feel ashamed of his own appearance.
It really is something marvelous.
Come to the laboratory.
If we hurry, we can fix this injury!
And if we can find the plans, we can fix the Gemini....
It's okay.
I do not intend to be influenced by my conscience circuit any longer.
I want to be released.
But!
You shouldn't waste your time thinking of fixing me. There are other things you should be concerned with.
You should find out more about the conscience circuit.
Because he is with Gill....
Could it be?
Are you saying father is alive?
Who's there?
He's saying he wishes to rest in peace.
You should let him be.
You're....
Wait!
Don't go!
Don't leave me by myself anymore!
Mitsuko.
I'm not sure when, but I finally awoke.
The scent of the wind, the sound of sunlight through the trees.
The moon is beautiful.
The rain is gentle.
I've met many people.
Many people have left.
The one's who left, I can meet only in dreams.
On Kikaider, The Animation
Next episode, Blue Moon, Red Dreams.
Blue Moon, Red Dreams
Dark Industries Fansub - NOT FOR SALE OR PROFIT
Rain.
A gentle rain.
Cold rain.
Violent rain.
Lonely rain.
Flowing into a river, eventually becoming an ocean.
The place where life is born.
Finally!
I've waited so long for this moment!
A long time ago, there was a puppet maker named Gepetto.
Gepetto didn't have any children.
And so in place of a child, he made a marionette called Pinocchio.
That night, a fairy appeared and made it so Pinocchio could walk without strings.
This fairy then said,
Pinocchio, if you're good, then someday I'll make you into a real child.
This cricket Jimminy will help you, he will be your conscience.
Listen well to what Jimminy says and become a good child, Pinocchio.
And then Pinocchio....
What a frightful night.
I've failed?!
How could it!
I've come so far!
Damn! And there's no time left!
Father....
The moon.
Blue moon.
Beautiful moon.
Enough to send a shiver.
The round moon thinking.
It shows memories.
It becomes a mirror.
People have to believe in something in order to go on living.
You have someone too, right?
Someone like that.
Jiro,
It probably can't be helped that you don't understand yet.
But you see, you and I...
How can I put it, we're completely different.
I know where we're different.
Jiro.
Mitsuko, your body is soft.
Masaru's hand is soft too.
I like both Masaru and you, Mitsuko.
How can I become like that?
Because you so unwisely tried to make it too human that these problems arose.
Isn't it painful? To be given these useless emotions.
Just wait, I will erase that pain for you.
You and those plans.
This is your body.
And this...
This is your heart.
It's your conscience circuit.
This is where all your judgements are made.
Just like with a person's feelings.
A person's... feelings?
That's right.
It allows you to disobey bad orders.
Father called this circuit Gemini.
Gemini....
That means you will be able to move of your own free will.
But the power to differentiate between good and bad is still incomplete.
If left as it is, you may still obey bad orders.
Bad orders...
If that happens, you'll destroy me.
If you can't fix the Gemini, you'll destroy me, right?
I...
What...
Mitsuko!
Stay away!
You are...
You are a crazy machine after all!
A crazy machine....
Don't come near me!
I...
You're just a machine!
Just... a machine....
I'm...
a machine....
Just...
a machine!
I didn't think I'd meet you here.
I'll make killing you part of the experiment.
Who are you?
I am part of your family.
What?
Family.
That's right, me and Jiro are like brothers, right?
I am a robot built by Dr. Koumiyouji.
In other words, you and I are family.
What's that?!
You had children....
Father...
Why?
Why did you want a Pinocchio?
If we are family, then you've already destroyed many of your family.
Looks like I've become quite ugly.
Like this, you could now say we're like brothers.
Why did you follow orders to destroy yourself?
Because to follow orders, is the right thing for us to do.
Because you do not follow orders, that is why you hate us...
Stop Jiro! That's an order!
Is that a good order?
Or a bad order?
It doesn't matter which.
I won't listen to orders.
Because, I'm a crazy machine.
A machine has no home go to.
A machine has no one that loves it.
Because a machine does not possess a heart.
Look at the dolls!
Neat, aren't they? They look like they're alive!
So, so, do dolls go home too?
That's right, they go home too.
Where's the dolls home?
It's inside that clock.
The clock is their home?
That's right.
Because those dolls are machines, their home is inside a machine.
Where...
Where do I go home to?
Where....
Jiro.
Jiro!
A dream?
I'm crying...
What am I thinking.
I'm the one who wanted to destroy Jiro.
What's wrong?
Let's protect it together!
Stay away!
Look out!
Jiro!
A monster!
No!
A monster!
Mo-mo-monster!
A monster....
Jiro.
Mitsuko,
Don't...
Jiro!
Don't look at me!
I wanted to dream.
I shouldn't have dreamed.
I want to go home.
I cannot go home.
Are you feeling pity for him?
It would be better not to.
A human's pity does no good for a machine.
No!
No good at all.
You think so? Then how about if I told you this,
That Kikaider, he loves you.
Now then, what will you do?
How will that help you?
This pity...
Oh, I feel so sorry for you Jiro.
I will comfort you.
Because we are good friends.
But please don't get any closer that that.
There's no need for that!
This is the closing act.
You cannot appeal to this love.
Perhaps between humans, but for pity between human and machine to become love, that is impossible!
Is what I say wrong?
No, that's not true!
I...
Ichiro!
How foolish I was.
That accident, everything, was Gill's work.
Just to get close to me, Ichiro was killed.
On top of that...
On top of that, it's unbelievable...
My wife was a spy for Gill!
I understand.
Please tell Professor Gill that.
Mother!
No!
That's not true!
It's not...
Mother...
Wait...
Jiro....
But you know,
People you wouldn't expect to may be waiting for you.
Maybe you just don't realize it.
Who do you want to go home to?
You are defective!
Unnecessary things must be destroyed!
It's true that I am imperfect.
I am ugly.
But even then...
I want to see Mitsuko!
Mitsuko!
So is this what it means to have a heart?
I now understand it is something that cannot be measured by reason.
Kikaider knows love.
To feel ashamed of his own appearance.
It really is something marvelous.
Come to my place.
If we hurry, we can fix this injury!
And if we can find the plans, we can fix the Gemini....
It's okay.
I do not intend to be influenced by my conscience circuit any longer.
I want to be released.
But!
You shouldn't waste your time thinking of fixing me. There's other things you should be concerned about.
You should find out more about the conscience circuit.
Because he is with Gill....
Could it be?
Are you saying father is alive?
Who's there?
He's saying he wishes to rest in peace.
You should let him be.
You're....
Wait!
Don't go!
Don't leave me by myself anymore!
Mitsuko.
I though I was alone.
She said she didn't want to be by herself anymore.
This road that we both started upon, it was a road we couldn't see the end of.
It was all still in a fog.
Sister and brother, together they were not lonely.
But when left behind, he was sad.
He chased after her.
He made friends.
He was happy.
But these friends were machines.
Next time, on Kikaider, The Animation,
Friends.
