"Spider Machine GP7!"
"Marveller!"
"Change Leopardon!"
Yes, it's time for another round of the Japanese Spider-man TV show, my lowkey sexual obsession with "Amazoness" continuing unabated.
This entry brings me up to 28 episodes out of 41. That's all I could find on YouTube. I'd love to watch the remaining 13 episodes, but alas, I couldn't find them online.
(I even tried searching by スパイダーマン! )
Spider-man helps a boy with a heart condition. Not much happens in this episode, even if Spider-man FINALLY figures out Amazoness' secret identity as the editor of his girlfriend's newspaper.
Professor Monster and his Iron Cross Army try to blow up a dam AND flood the city of Tokyo with gas that they plan on igniting afterward. The Iron Cross Army be gangsta like that.
And that's one tough dog. Not only does it walk off two bullets, but it later falls off the side of a damn and fights off several henchmen.
Not sure what the boy was doing in the mountains in the first place. Maybe looking for his dad? But how would he know where his dad was?
A pro wrestler wants to become "the strongest one there is," and ends up getting turned into a "machine bem" that resembles the Thing.
Spider-man helps a boy bullied by classmates while the Iron Cross Army, for inexplicable reasons, commits a series of extremely low level crimes across the Tokyo area. Can't help but feel sorry for the mom accused of stealing 5 million yen. That was a low blow, Amazoness, even for you!
And how many boys had fathers killed in car accidents in late 70s Japan? Judging by this show it was A LOT.
Definitely one of the weirder ones. I'd put this alongside the cat demon episode. Spider-man meets an alien boy with mind powers who takes him to a secret village in the mountains where the locals (who can all fly) are planning to sacrifice the boy's sister to a monster in a lake. Amazoness gets a new outfit in this one, and I'm not a fan of the new look. Maybe they thought she was too drab in earlier episodes?
Funny how you bad guys keep running into Takuya, isn't it? It's almost as if he's... Spider-man?
In this one the Iron Cross Army kidnaps a girl (so much kidnapping!) who might have the power of precognition.
This is one of the more random ones. An Interpol guy gets caught spying on the Iron Cross Army, and Spider-man helps him escape their clutches. But why not carry the guy once he's injured? Isn't Spider-man strong enough? And why bother to commandeer the helicopter if they weren't going to escape in it? And why not take the guy directly to the hospital, so he could see his son another day?
One of Professor Monster's more skeletal henchmen goes around stealing people's blood for his boss. In the midst of that Spider-man rescues a blind little girl. Can you guess who the little girl's father is?
Watch your back, Takuya, some dude's buying your girlfriend presents behind your back!
Shortly thereafter Takuya stumbles upon - I kid you not - a private club where people gamble on rabbit races, chick races and spider fights. Go figure. Was that really a thing in Japan at the time? I kind of doubt it.
It should be noted that at this point in the series Spider-man not only has a spider sense but also X-ray vision and the completely inexplicable ability to know when someone's trying to contact him. By this point his powers are pretty much all over the place.
And naturally the "sorceress" running the club turns out to be one of Professor Monster's Machine Bem. She resembles a lower grade Mysterio.
Spider-man meets A BOY WHO THROWS COCKROACHES ON PEOPLE and who at one point PUTS A COCKROACH IN ANOTHER BOY'S MOUTH. Yeah, if you enjoy that kind of weirdness this show is for you!
And as you'd expect the machine bem at the end is a cockroach. Why wouldn't it be a cockroach? Of course it's a cockroach!!
A former jewel thief is tortured to death by the Iron Cross Army, and they create clone (?) to trick the thief's son into divulging the location of a hidden gem. But as you'd expect Spider-man shows up, and so much for the missing gem, the Iron Cross Army and their giant crab monster.
