Step Jun, Step Jun, Step Jun

Come on, come on, come on

Hai! Step Jun

I sensed you on a secret frequency

and was captivated by your radiance

And seeing you with my million-bit vision

The circuits of my heart

Ah, they're going wild!

The forces of love move me as they will

So I've embraced the mystery

If it's for the sake of the one you love

Why, there's nothing you couldn't do!

Oh, the heartful, heartful mechanic

the slightest movements of a pure heart

The heartful, heartful mechanic

makes true your dream-colored heartbeats

Step Jun, Step Jun, Step Jun!

Your hot desire! Come on, come on, input!

The Heartful Mechanic Girl!

Jun!

Wake up!

Come on now, Jun!

You'll be late for school!

Oh hello!

DEAR!!!

Dear! Dear!!!

What's wrong?!

Mama!

Jun... Jun's!

She's become a robot!!!

Are you kiddin' me?

Y'know, an egg'll turn into a chicken for sure,

but no way will a human turn into a robot!

C'mon, Jun!

Don't be scarin' your Ma like that so early in the morning!

Oh hello!

The heck?!

D-Don't come any closer!

Oh hello!

Let your father go right now!

- You're hurtin' me! - Ow, that hurts!!!

- Let go! Let go! - You let me go right now!

Jun!!! What are you doing to your poor mother?!

Let go this instant!!!

What's going on?

Please, stop this, Jun...

Jun!!!

Oh, you're up!

I did it!

Kichinosuke's up and about!

And to think I had given up!

Stop flappin' your lips and do something already!

Oh, I'm so sorry!

It looks like his power output is a bit too high...

Powering down...

My goodness, that hurt...

The little dope's got some strength!

Hey!

I'm smart!

Oh good, he can talk!

His speech circuits are running as they should!

So, Jun...

This robot is one of your inventions, huh?

Yes!

I was hoping to surprise you two with him,

so I started making him in secret six months ago!

Well, if you wanted to surprise us, you succeeded!

Mama!

Did you wrap me in that blanket last night?

No!

I had no idea you were sleeping inside your workshop!

So that means it must have been you, Kichinosuke!

Of course I did!

His heart circuit is functioning normally!

Kichinosuke's just like a little brother, isn't he?

Let's play!

Yes, he's quite remarkable!

So much so that you wet the bed!

Wet the bed?!

Oh no, look at that!

So you made the robot switch with you afterwards, huh?

You're almost out of middle school, too!

N-No way!

You actually think that I did this...?

Hey, you can make a mean robot, but one that wets the bed?

Right, dear?

Yes, dear!

But don't worry, we won't tell anyone!

I'm telling you, it wasn't me!

Some of Kichinosuke's oil must have leaked!

Kichinosuke!

Please, tell them the truth!

Kichinosuke!

Oops, I broke.

Come back safe, now!

See you later!

Let's play!

Let's take the shortcut!

Let's play!

Kichinosuke!

This isn't the time to play!

I'm going to be late!

Hurry, hurry!

Let's play.

Come now, I'm going to school!

Be a good boy and go on home!

Then let's play at school!

Oh dear...

Watch out, Kichinosuke!!!

Hey, you hurt?

I can't believe my eyes...

It's my knight in shining armor...!

Uh, hey.

You're starin' off into space...

You hit your head or something?

I-I-I'm fine!

You take care now!

Those guys you saw are just like wolves.

Excuse me...

If it's at all possible, could I get a ride to school?

Yay! Thank goodness!

Let's play!

Don't follow us, Kichinosuke!

Hey, wait!!!

I said wait!!!

To think I'd be riding on the bike of Zero, the boy I adore...

I could just up and die right here!

Though, if I DID die,

this happiness would be forever over...

Oh, today turned out to be a wonderful day!

Zero refuses to let any girls ride on his bike,

but he let me, of all people!

Could it be?

Does he actually love me?

Well, we're here.

Thank you so very much!

Um, excuse me...

This is the elementary school...

Aw, I messed up?

I shoulda guessed you were in kindergarten...

Kindergarten?!

So this isn't some joke?

You really don't recognize me?

What, you someone famous or somethin'?

I'm in the same class as you! Jun Nonomiya!

How 'bout that... Never noticed.

Didn't notice?!

How mean!

Heh, sorry.

I got no interest in any of the dumb girls in my grade.

See ya!

Wait, could you give me...

You should know I don't give girls rides on my bike!

How could you...

Just awful!

Leaving me to walk all the way from here...

This is just too much!

We're in the same class, how could he not know who I was?

I'm in the very front, and he's all the way in the back...

He should have noticed me for sure!

Just awful!

Tearing a maiden's frail heart to pieces like that...

Zero, you jerk!

I hate, hate, HATE you!

Understood! Understood!

Kichinosuke!

Leave it to me! Leave it to me!

Justice, Kichinosuke Style!

Wh-Where are you going?!

Kichinosuke!

I'll give this Zero what he deserves!

Yo! Everyone!

You all studying hard, now?

Argh! Rei Kanou!

What do you think you're doing out here?

I figured I'd come and give everyone a quick pick-me-up.

C'mon man, do some cool tricks!

Yeah, please!

How about you knock it off?

Kanou!

This bike stays off school property, understand?

What, you sayin' I gotta come barefoot?

Oh really? This bike is your shoes?

And look, a license, all nice and legal.

There you are, Zero!!!

What's that?

Say your prayers, Zero!

Pray to your god!

Pray --

Found you, I found you!

All right, spit it out!

Which one of you brought this toy?

Shut your trap!

Zero. Prepare yourself.

You think I'm gonna let some toy disrespect me like this?

I will break you!

I will break you!

- Break you!!! - C'mon, knock it off already!

- Stop chasin' me, dammit! - Break you!!!

It's so powerful!

Wow, is that little robot for real?

- Break you! - I told you, cut it out!

Hey, jerk!

You really lookin' to piss me off?

Ow, goddamnit that hurt!

Destroy the enemy!

Enemy? Why the heck am I your enemy?

You're a real idiot, robot!

Idiot?!

IDIOT?!

- No forgiveness! - Ah geez, cut me a break already!

- GET BACK HERE!!! - Kichinosuke!

What are you doing?!

Wait, is that one of your inventions, Nonomiya?

Yes!

Kichinosuke, please stop!

Man, you're a pain in the ass!

Get back here!

Oh, Kichinosuke, that's enough...

You called me an idiot!!!

Get back here!

GET-- Signal received.

Powering down.

Bored... So bored...

It's time to straighten up and fly right!

Running roughshod on a bike! And bringing a robot!

Do you think that's what school's about?

Wow, getting scolded like I'm Zero's partner-in-crime...

This is total bliss!

What's with the big grin, Nonomiya?

I'm just head over heels in joy, sir!

What was that?!

Yo, Sensei!

Don't get carried away, now...

Your necktie was crooked, is all.

...Whatever, get back to class.

I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for Kichinosuke to pick a fight...

And you, start apologizing too!

Heh, don't worry about it.

I'm not gonna get all pissed off at some dumb toy.

So, does that mean you're willing to let this slide?

So long as you keep that toy of yours on a tight leash from now on.

A tight leash?!

He actually forgave me... I'm so happy!

Okay, Kichinosuke!

You're not to fight with Zero from this point on!

But he made fun of me! No forgiveness!

He's just got a sharp tongue.

But you said that you hated him, Jun!

Oh, I guess I did, huh?

There's things I love about him, too.

Hate is love...

Hate is love.

If you ever fall in love, Kichinosuke, you'll understand!

Oh, you said you were in love!

Ugh, never mind! Just go home already!

Wow, so cool!

Take a good look at Zero's girlfriend!

It's so clean it sparkles!

In Zero's eyes, the most beautiful girl in the world pales in comparison.

Yep, that Zero loves it that much!

Hate is love... Hate is love...

That means love is hate!!!

Hey, what's going on?

Zero's bike was stolen!

What?!

What are you still doing here, Kichinosuke?

I have something good to show you, come with me.

Where are we going?

There's no time for this now!

Now, praise me!

Agh!!!

Z-Zero's bike!

Ki-Kichinosuke!

You... You did this?!

I put it in order.

Put it in order?! Why? WHY?!

I love Zero's bike.

You think THIS is what you do to something you love?!

Love is hate!

Oh goodness...

We better call the police right away!

...That's not gonna be necessary.

I already know the punks who did this.

Excuse me, could you let me through?

I wouldn't get close to Zero right now.

He's ready to bite someone's head off!

Damn it... They think they can get away with this shit?

I'm gonna pound their faces in!

Wait, about your bike!

Hmmph!

That bike gang's been itchin' to fight me for a real long time!

Well, the truth is... it was me...

What'd you say?!

I'm sorry...

You think this is the time for stupid jokes?

W-Wait, Zero!

You here to settle things?

You scumbags were the only ones with the free time to pull this crap!

The hell you say?

Who'd steal that piece of junk, anyway?

What'd you say?

Eat this!

What, is that all you got?

Get this punk already!

Stop! Stoooop!

Kichinosuke, get over here quickly!

Hurry, Zero needs to see proof right away!

Yes, yes, I got it!

Z-Zero!

Look, I've got proof!

What the hell? The handlebars from my bike?

So wait, you were tellin' the truth...?

Yes...

Yo, Zero.

Looks like you just messed up big time.

...My bad.

You really think we'll let you go with just that?

S-Stop!

If you're going to hit somebody, hit us!

Leave me out of this.

Who the hell are you?

This ain't a game! Grab your toy and get lost!

Agh! He's making fun of me again!

Get lost, pipsqueak!

Kichinosuke, please, help Zero...!

- Please? - Serves him right.

Kichinosuke, you're a big boy, right?

A big, STRONG boy, right?

Now get out there and help Zero!

Here I go!!!

What the hell's going on?!

Excuse me, you might want to take a look at your bikes!

What's that shitty robot doing?

C'mon, let's get our bikes out of here!

Zero, are you okay?

We ain't lettin' this slide, Zero!

Whoa, let go!

That was a job well done, Kichinosuke!

I put things in order.

Yeah, just like you did to my bike.

Wow, you're better at this stuff than you look.

I love all things mechanical!

How 'bout that...

Well, if you can put together a robot and everything...

Rage building...

And all done.

Phew, back to the way it was...

I'd say all's well that ends well...

Yeah, but I'm starving.

Well then, why not come to my place for dinner?

Please say no.

Well, thanks for the offer, but I hate eating at other people's homes.

Hate is love...

Did I mention my place is a great restaurant with great atmosphere?

Huh, so your folks own a restaurant.

Can you see the ocean?

Of course! And hear the steam whistles, too!

Well then, maybe I'll swing by...

Huh?

Jun's got a boyfriend?

Yes, and he's certainly a tall one!

Bit of a waste on Jun, I'd say...

Who cares about height?!

Jun's a waste on this creep!

Can't say he comes across as too serious...

Well, that may be true...

Regret... Regret...

Ah, regret.

So that'll be 2 steak lunches, a beef curry,

and a children's lunch as well, please!

W-Wait... Did more of your friends come?

Nope, this is all for him!

Do you always eat so much?

When it's on someone else's dime.

So, a children's lunch, huh? That's unexpectedly charming.

One of these'll show you how good a chef really is.

Oh really? And how's that?

A ton of restaurants out there won't put in effort if they think it's for a kid.

So how do we rank?

Well, top of the middle, I'd say.

Hmmph, get a load of the big shot.

Come now, it was actually complimentary...

Him stuffin' his face like a pig means his opinion's worth squat!

All right, Kichinosuke...

You keep your eye on those two from now on, okay?

I will! With everything I have!

Now get out there!

You mind if I get another kid's lunch?

No, go ahead!

We're at the amusement park

On a date, eating ice cream

My crocodile tears are shining

in the illumination of the shuttle loop

But because of his warm kindness

I flash my practiced smile

But it's all a dream, isn't it?

*computer beeping*

360 degrees of rivals, wherever I go

*computer beeping*

Tonight's projected chance of love... 0!

Brought to you by MaruChanSubs!

I'll do whatever it takes to close the gap between me and Zero!

And naturally, the thing that came to mind was an extra large bento!

I'll get closer to him 100% faster for sure!

But wait, what's this?

You're telling me Zero has a steady girl already?!

Wow, talk about a shock!

Hai! Step Jun!

The Love Rival! Heartful Mechanic!
