Rouge Jellyfish's Invitation to the River of Death

Watch your step.

Oh, of course.

What's that?!

A-A jellyfish!

A monster!

DARK Destructoid, Rouge Jellyfish!

I can't stand seeing happy couples!

Jellyfish Mixer!

You were watching from the bridge, weren't you?

Yes, forgive me.

I'm sorry if I was rude.

When I see a girl about your age, I begin to wonder...

Did I have a daughter, too?

I just can't remember!

Oh, dear.

You lost your memory?

Picking up litter?

Yes. One person can't do much...

...but I do it for my late younger brother.

Your late younger brother?

These waters were once crystal clear, they say.

There were carp, minnows, guppies, and even sweetfish.

When Isamu, who was six at the time, heard about that,

he made up his mind to clean up the river and came every day to pick up litter.

One day, he slipped into the deep water.

It took three days for his body to turn up.

They couldn't find him because the water was so filthy.

That was when I made up my mind.

That I may just be one small individual,

but I would pick up the litter for him.

That one day, the river will be clean again.

So admirable, yet so young...

Miki! Are you goofing off again?!

Oops! I'm crashing with my uncle, see? He runs that boat rental.

I keep telling you, leave cleaning up to city hall!

We have customers!

Right!

See you later!

Honestly, what a way to spend your day...

Rouge Jellyfish!

Have you perfected your mini poison jellyfish?

Yes I have, Professor Gill. Please observe!

These mini poison jellyfish born in the foul river water

are my greatest achievement!

Bring them here!

Allow me to demonstrate, Professor Gill.

When mini poison jellyfish are exposed to electric light such as fluorescence...

Very nice.

But how will we market them to foreign militaries?

Sir, we need to advertise.

I will release schools of mini poison jellyfish at popular Tokyo date spots.

When the park lights are turned on at night,

the couples will be wiped out!

The news will be heard abroad.

Mini poison jellyfish are incredibly active.

Their poison will spread around the world in no time!

What is it?

We have a problem!

Thirty mini poison jellyfish were released into the river!

What?! Oh, no!

If the jellyfish are found in the river,

they'll trace them back to this secret facility!

That looks like Dad!

Your father?

Poor Dr. Komyoji. He's fallen to picking up trash...

What are you talking about? We need to check if he's Father!

- Turn around. - Fine, fine.

What the...

She said turn, not stop!

I know that. I'm trying my best.

It's just...

Let's go, Sis!

Good idea.

Er, but...

Come on!

Oh, what to do...

This way.

Pick it up right.

There's more over there.

Where'd he go? He was here a minute ago!

Jellyfish!

- There's a jellyfish! - Let me see!

- Jellyfish..? In the river? - Get it!

- Let's go look! - It's true!

There's one here, too!

Hey, let me see those jellyfish.

You can't take those jellyfish with you!

Kill the children and retrieve the mini poison jellyfish!

No! Help!

- Stay calm. - Help! Help!

It's Jiro!

What? Where?!

There!

Always interfering!

DARK Destructoid, Rouge Jellyfish!

I won't allow you to hurt the children!

Let them go!

So you've shown yourself, Kikaider... Here I come!

Take the children!

Quickly!

- Hanpen! - Hanpen!

Mitsuko...

Could you use my help?

Of course we could! We have to get away!

I'm too scared to move!

Oh, you...

Shape up!

Right! Come on, quickly! Hurry!

Get in! Come on!

Go!

Wait! Take me with you!

Help me, Jiro!

Help!

Change!

Let me go!

Hold on!

Keep your head down!

Running away, Kikaider?! Not if I can help it!

Jellyfish Sword!

Oh, my!

Thank you so much!

Tadashi! I told you not to play by that filthy river!

We just want to make it clean again!

Silly boy! Have you been listening to Miki again?!

You're my son. Just row the boats!

Honestly, I can't thank you enough.

That boy's got a mind of his own!

Jiro!

Hey! Jiro's here!

He is?

We saw Dad, Jiro!

Dr. Komyoji?!

Someone who looked just like him. I'm sure it was Father.

Dr. Komyoji...

What is this odd color and smell?

It gets worse further upstream.

Mister!

Mister!

Hey!

Dr. Komyoji enjoyed this moment of happiness.

But it would not last long.

It gets worse as we go upstream.

You're right.

I'd been so preoccupied with the litter, I never noticed.

That building over there!

So that building is polluting the river?

I'm going there to complain!

Where are you going?!

Who did that?!

There!

DARK female androids! Keep your hands off the Doctor!

Dr. Komyoji! Do you remember me? I'm Jiro!

You built me, remember?!

Doctor!

Mitsuko and Masaru are both fine!

Doctor!

The doctor!

Where's Dr. Komyoji?!

He was here a second ago.

Doctor...

Doctor!

Dr. Komyoji...

Doctor!

Doctor...

Doctor...

Doctor!

This jellyfish is very strange...

They don't appear in my creature guide.

When I put them in clean or salt water, they start to die.

But in polluted water, they're happy as can be.

What will you do with these jellyfish, Tadashi?

I bet these odd jellyfish developed because of river pollution.

Probably.

I want to show the grown-ups and ask them to clean the river

so carp and sweetfish can live there again.

Grown-ups are only concerned about themselves.

- They don't give a darn about the river. - Well, hey, don't say that...

Hey, listen to you.

Let me have a look at these jellyfish.

This water's so cloudy, I can't see.

Bring a light.

Jellyfish aren't supposed to be in the river!

True.

Flying saucers!

Help! Help!

What's going on?

When he turned on the lamp, it...!

Help!

Can it be...

Turn off the lamp!

Quickly!

Are you okay?

Without fluorescent light, they're harmless.

Let's go, Tadashi.

We'll show the townspeople what frightening monsters

will grow if they don't clean up the river!

Right.

Wait! I'll go with you!

Let me have a look, Jiro.

At what?

You can't hide it from me. Your left arm is hurt.

No, it isn't.

Let me see it!

It's nothing.

Let her look!

She's right! Why were you hiding it?

I know you don't like Sis looking at how you're not human, but...

That's enough, Masaru!

Pass me that radio.

You're taking Tadashi's radio apart?

I'll apologize to him later.

I can use the parts.

Hey, come on.

Jiro said never to go near this place.

No problem!

We're just visiting the guy polluting the river to make him own up to these jellyfish!

But...

Done.

Thank you!

I'd do anything for you, Jiro.

Jiro! Tadashi and his cousin are missing!

They went to that strange building upstream!

What?!

- Good. Take them to the secret test lab. - Let go! Let us go!

- Let us go! - Let go!

You'll both be guinea pigs.

Let us go!

Please let us go!

Let us go!

Who did that?!

You again? This time you won't get away alive!

I've destroyed all your test equipment!

Let's fight, Rouge Jellyfish!

What's wrong?

Those born of DARK must return to DARK.

Come back to DARK.

Jiro's body tries to answer the call of Professor Gill's evil flute.

If he gives in, he will become Gill's servant.

Will Jiro's incomplete conscience circuit be able to defeat the sound of Gill's flute?

Let this be a lesson to you!

This is what happens when you defy DARK!

It's the flute! We need to keep him from hearing it!

I know what to do!

Tadashi's quick thinking saves Jiro.

The two mini poison jellyfish shut out Gill's flute.

Change!

Switch On!

Where'd he go?

All of you, find him!

After him!

What are you waiting for? Get him!

Where'd she go?

Damn...

I can't see. Where is she?

I'm right here!

Damn...

I've got you now.

Damn you!

Super Clean!

Drats! My final weapon- Jellyfish Sword!

Got you!

I'm not letting go!

Take this, and this!

Damn...

Go on, die!

Come on! Come on!

Just a little more!

Yes, suffer!

No!

- Damn you! Let go of me! Let me go! - My turn, Rouge Jellyfish!

Double Chop!

Giant Swing!

Denji End!

You've both taught me something.

The river needs to be clean, right?

What can I say?

We adults became so used to seeing the river filthy

that we never noticed it until those monsters appeared.

We should be ashamed.

You should be leading the fight to clean up the river.

You've got me there!

I'll start today, so give me a break!

Kikaider defeated DARK Destructoid Rouge Jellyfish,

but DARK is preparing its next sinister trap.

Where is Dr. Komyoji?

When would they all find happiness?

Jiro continues on his endless quest.

To be continued

Jiro's next foe is the new DARK Destructoid Red Hornet and his air force.

Red Hornet drives Masaru mad with his sting and takes him hostage.

How will Jiro rescue him?

Mitsuko and her friends are also in peril.

Kikaider must stop Red Hornet's plot to destroy the environment.

Join us next time for "Red Hornet's Horrifying Hostage Plan."

Jiro, the man with the guitar...

He's our friend, a kind and powerful robot
