Where, where, where
does he come from?
Only the bats know
A lone ship is sailing in
the Antarctic sea...
Oh, we're here!
Professor, we've arrived!
Look, professor!
Professor!
Oh, professor!
Hey, look out, professor!
Papa!
Papa, must you always be so
easily distracted by your books?
We're here, Papa.
Oh, it's just Antarctica.
What? Professor, I thought
you wanted to go to Antarctica.
I'm a professor of linguistics.
I have no interest in this
barren wasteland of ice.
But papa, you were the one
who insisted we travel south.
We've gone too far south.
Professor Mire was searching for
Atlantis, the lost underwater empire.
S.O.S.! S.O.S.!
I'm 30 degrees south of...
120.10 degrees...we've
encountered a strange...
It's another distress
signal. What's going on?
What? A distress signal?
Captain! Captain! We've
received another distress signal.
Okay...
Not again!
Alright, all hands on alert!
Captain, I'd really like to reach
my destination as quickly as possible.
No. Rescuing the other
ship is our top priority!
But, still...
Papa!
This is the fourth ship!
We won't arrive too late this time!
Aye, aye, sir!
Huh? What is that thing?!
Argh, it's a monster!
Did you say a monster?
W-We're goners!
I'm sure mama is
protecting us from heaven, Papa!
It's coming right over us!
Hey, send an S.O.S.! S.O.S.!
Meanwhile, a sinister being
watches this scene from afar...
Romburozo. This
makes a total of five ships.
All successful experiments for the world
domination planned by me, Lord Nazo.
Lord Nazo! Lord Nazo!
Five Finger, what do you want?
#1, #2 and #3 have
been completed successfully.
Preparing to conduct
tests on #4 and #5...
You fool!
With pitiful ships such
as those, the first 3
are sufficient.
No need to dissect any more.
Understood.
They will never reach land again.
Do you have anything else to report?
Yes, sir. There is some
fallen wood at the site...
...as well as 500kg of debris,
including some sort of gigantic egg.
Dispose of those things at once!
Yes, sir!
Eggs don't float around in the ocean.
That fool must be
talking in his sleep.
Romburozo!
As for that aforementioned "egg..."
It was actually the Super Car,
invented by Professor Yamatone.
We should be just
about there by now.
To the source of
the S.O.S. signal?
Yes, we're almost there.
Once we rescue the victims,
we'll head straight back to Japan.
Well, Professor... you're just anxious
to get back to Takeru, aren't you?
Well, this was only supposed to be a
brief stop. We're running low on water.
True enough. But this
Super Car sure is ideal.
You can go just about
anywhere in the Super Car.
That reminds me, I wonder
what my son is up to now?
I sure am hungry.
Nothing in here...
I see...
I guess I'll just have
to drink water.
Oh, no water?
I know! The professor has
some instant soup. I'll have that!
Take-
Dareo, don't tell my
dad that I'm down here.
I wanted to come with him
on this short rescue mission.
Well, you're not supposed
to be here...
Don't worry! I Love adventures!
Still, I gotta tell the professor.
Hey! Where are you going?
Wait, look!
Chocolate!
It's yours, okay?
Dareo, what are you doing?
Sir!
Coming!
Damn it, we were just too late.
But we did come here at full speed.
There's something fishy about this...
Professor, sorry it took so long.
I brought your juice.
Hmm, I don't think the whole
thing could have sunk...
there wasn't enough time for that.
C'mon, sir...
it's your juice, your juice!
Ah, I don't want any.
You drink it.
Ah, wait a minute!
This book of hieroglyphics
is extremely important to me.
You must guard this
book with your life.
We've found a survivor.
Get the rescue equipment ready!
Yes, sir.
Ehhh, which switch was it?
Well, I guess any switch will do.
What is that noise?
Hey, hey... easy there, Dareo.
You're pressing the wrong switch.
That's the switch we use
when we're asking for help.
Here's the correct switch.
Sorry, sir.
Oh! Takeru, it can't be!
Father! Did I surprise you?
I think children are
grossly underestimated.
Takeru, how are
things on your end?
Just fine. I've got this.
Who are these people?
All right...
Five Finger! Five Finger!
Five Finger, I have
urgent orders for you!
Takeru, you must do
exactly as I say.
Only push the button
after I count down from three.
Three...
Two...
One!
Okay!
Ah! Mama, help me!
Takeru, hurry!
Pull back the lever!
Okay!
Takeru, go for it, go for it!
Takeru, do your best!
Oh! That rescue ship was not
built to withstand a lot of pressure!
Professor! Let's shoot
off some distress flares!
We have no time for that!
Full speed ahead!
Pull the main lever!
No way. You ain't gettin' us!
Did you safely
retrieve the rescue ship?
Yes, sir! All taken care of.
Good, thank you.
Hey, you. Stop jumping for joy,
and bring me some juice right away!
Yes, sir...
All right, we're not
out of the woods yet.
Let's get out of
here while we still can.
Damn it, they've escaped!
This isn't over yet...
Just who or what is this
?Nazo? character, anyway?
Father! Did I do a good job?
Yes, you really did, Takeru.
But that monster
sure was scary, huh?
Yeah, you said it.
I don't think that
monster is even a living
being as we know it.
What? It's not really alive?
So you're saying the
monster is some sort of weapon?
Yeah, that's correct.
It must be a weapon that someone
is operating by remote control.
And it sunk an
innocent ship! How horrible!
Takeru, how do you think we
should deal with the perpetrators?
Well, we should talk to them, and...
And then kill them!
What?
Papa... they drowned my papa!
This is Marie Mire.
Marie, I notice that
you can speak Japanese.
Where did you learn how?
Why, I was born in Japan.
I see!
But...you should lie down for now.
But... mama always taught me
to thank people straight away.
And where is your
mama right now?
She's in heaven.
That's why papa always
took me everywhere with him.
I was all he had.
The engine's overheating.
Dareo, get some water, quickly.
Sorry, but I sort of
spilled it all...
That's a big problem.
There are no islands nearby.
It's ok ay, I'll just drink
soda or juice instead.
That wasn't drinking
water, it's for the engine.
We can't cool the
engine with soda or juice.
Father, look.
I see a mountain.
How mysterious.
We're in the extreme
south of the Indian Ocean.
There shouldn't be
any islands around here.
Oh?
Was this mysterious island
actually the lost empire...
The very same lost empire that
Professor Mire was searching for?
We're going out to look for water.
Yes, sir!
No, it's b-b-bones...
B-B-Bo-Bo-
Uh...where are we?
Well, even I don't know.
I know! We've found Atlantis!
This is its legendary
capital, Dionysus.
Atlantis?
You mean that island that
supposedly sunk 10,000 years ago?
I read about it in a book.
Well, it's definitely real.
Papa was researching it.
That's why we were here.
But, now...
Oh! I've found water!
Is that some kind of magic?
This is a divining device.
It reacts when
there is water nearby.
No good...
A waterless well.
A ruined city filled with
nothing but cold, harsh winds.
Meanwhile, Nazo was watching
the professor and his team from afar...
Romburozo!
That little girl holds
a powerful secret.
All right, I'll head
for Antarctica myself.
I cannot rely solely on robots.
What suddenly broke
through the surface of
this landscape was the
terrifying Nazo Tower!
Romburozo.
Act now! They are unarmed.
Five Finger, launch!
Your target is that group of four.
If left alive, there's
a chance they might be
able to thwart my plans
of world domination.
Take them, and show no mercy!
You will not fail me this time!
Yes, sir... I understand.
Oops. What's that thing?!
Oh, it's just a bat, a bat.
Stop it! It's a golden bat!
I love animals.
And they love me.
Awww...
Want to follow it?
Sure, let's do it.
Hey, dad... can we?
Okay. Let's go.
Wow, it's so pretty!
It sure is!
This must be the ruins of that
Dionysus castle I read about.
It sure is pretty!
It may be pretty, but I
wish this castle were a well.
I wish this castle
was made of ice cream!
Ah! It's that monster from before!
Look out! Everyone, get back!
At last, he has shown
his true form.
- Five Finger Robot.
- Please help me, Mr. Bat!
Huh? There's another path.
Ok ay, let's go that way.
I'd like to see you try following
us down here, monster! Yeah!
Watch your step, Marie!
I will.
This place sure is creepy.
I hear something.
Wait here. I'll go look.
It's following us!
This character is "a."
And this one is "b," isn't it?
Hmm, I see.
"10,000 years from now, a crisis
will surely fall on human beings."
?When that time comes...?
?...if someone pure of
heart arrives at this place...?
Remove the lid of this coffin and I,
the superhero Golden Bat, shall awaken from
my sleep of 10,000 years, to fight for you.
"Put some water on
my chest to awaken me."
Water? All it needs is water, right?
Ah, there's water
under that stone! Dareo!
Yes, sir...
Wow! Clean, fresh water.
Dareo! Lift that lid, quickly!
Yes, sir!
Oh, how infuriating.
Golden Bat, you shall pay
dearly for what you have done!
Nazo Tower disappears,
without a trace.
After that terrifying night...
...the morning sun
finally begins to rise.
But, then...!
A giant whirlpool...
...completely submerges the eternally
mysterious continent of Atlantis, yet again.
Mr. Bat!
Thank you!
So strong!
So very strong!
Our superhero.
Our Golden Bat!
Flying through space and time alone
golden bat flies onward
That whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Go forth! Go forth, Golden Bat
Until the world is peaceful again
That whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Where, where, where
does he come from?
