Look at them! They have so many customers.
Right! After the opening of such big supermarket...
...how can our small market survive?
And the 8th bank is right next to them.
Do we just sit and watch,pops?
You say that, but do you have any ideas?
Damn! There must be a way to let them feel some pain!
I've got a good plan.
Who are you?
My name is Mine Fujiko.
I came here to investigate your business.
Investigate? Are you from the police?
Far from that.
Don't you want to trash this supermarket? I have a good plan.
What kind of plan?
Lupan vs. Superman
It's a bird!
It's a plane!
No, it's Superman.
It's true. It is Superman.
There he is.
Superman!
Superman is waving at me!
Cool!
Superman, you'll crash into the building!
Oh my, what's with this traffic jam?
An accident, maybe?
But everyone is looking up.
It might be a plane accident.
Maybe it is.
Sorry, but we're in a hurry.
Superman is on the top of our signboard.
Let's take a look!
Go!
Lupan, watch out!
Damn! Now I'm mad!
You're running after you almost hit me? Stop and apologize!
This convertible is irritating.
Leave it to me.
Bank robbers, you're under arrest!
It's inspector McReed.
Superman!
Superman you say?
If the credits go to Superman, it will ruin my name as a policeman.
Where did the suspects go?
The stolen money was retrieved. I will send them back soon. Superman.
Are you the guards of this bank?
Affirmative, Inspector Joe McReed, sir.
Then tell me, why didn't you sense the robbers?
-It's, it's because... -Spit it out!
Because Superman flew to the top of our building, inspector Joe McReed, sir.
Stop repeating my name!
So, you were all looking at the sky, and never realized there were robbers in the bank?
Is that correct?
Affirmative, Inspectior Joe McReed, sir.
Fools! You forgot your work!
I'm deeply sorry!
Inspector McReed, did you catch the robbers?
Or did they escape?
That's not your business.
Inspector Joe McReed.
What? What is it?
Zenigata?
The shooting is very accurate.
Inspector Zenigata, please come this way.
Right. Thanks.
Inspector McReed, here is Mr. Zenigata.
I am McReed.
I'm inspector Zenigata from the Tokyo Police.
Why are you here?
Well, I found this, and I brought it here.
This is... The money stolen from the bank?
Where did you find it?
I found the robber's car, abandoned in a nearby alley.
This is...
Superman?
Again...
I am happy to be of help.
Superman disguises himself as the Japanese policeman Zenigata.
By day he's a hard-working inspector and by night he keeps the peace and justice.
Is there something on my face?
No, no, nothing,nothing.
I've analyzed the crime scene, and I know who's the perpetrator.
Please, let me give you some help.
Hey.Repair it carefully. This is my most precious car.
Don't worry!
Today armed robbers stole 1 million from the 1st bank and escaped.
The police are trying their best...
...but they still have no idea where the criminals are.
That's the jerks who trashed us.
Breaking news!
The 1 million dollars were found.
According to the police, the money was retrieved by Superman,
and handed to Inspector McReed.
Superman is famous keeper of justice, right?
I wish he could repair our car instead.
-Superman! -So cool!
So cool!!
Superman!
It's Superman!
Superman!
Superman! Nice!
I'm a big fan of Superman.
Inspector McReed, the 2nd bank is robbed.
Goemon, aren't you hungry?
These horrible hamburgers and hotdogs are not suited to my taste.
I'm going to eat noodles.
Goemon, do you know if there is a noodle shop in America?
I can get instant noodles from the Supermarket.
What a weird person. When you're in Rome, do what the Romans do.
Welcome.
It's been a long since we had a customer.
What can I get for you?
Do you have instant noodles here?
Yes, we do.
Will this do?
What?
It was made 3 years ago.
How can it be eaten?
I am going to the other supermarket. Don't blame me.
Wait! You're going to the supermarket to say something bad about us, right?
What do you mean by that?
After this presentation, you should at least buy something from us.
How much?
It's cheap, 1 dollar. -Fine.
Thanks for your patronage! Come again!
It's Superman.
Come on, Zenigata!
Hurry, hurry!
Coming, coming.
I am inspector McReed. Please, describe how the robbers came in.
You see, Inspector McReed,
Superman appeared on top of our signboard.
And many people got out to see him. Our staff too.
And the robbers took this chance and took the money.
So, the robbers know where Superman will appear.
Superman?
It seems like his style.
Everybody listen! We've discovered who the criminal is...
...thanks to this Japanese policeman, Mr. Zenigata.
Calm down...
In order to arrest Lupan the The 3RD, ICPO sent me here.
And I've seen through his plans.
First, let me introduce Lupan and his gang.
Look carefully at their faces.
Daisuke Jigen .
Goemon Ishikawa .
Fujiko Mine .
Oh, Miss Fujiko.
Inspector McReed, don't be impatient.
In order to satisfy your curiosity, I have a sexy photo of her.
That's for now.
I hate to tell you this, but Americans have a weakness. And it's their greatest fault.
It's that Superman.
They never expect that he might be an enemy of justice.
When they see Superman they look up...
...and since they believe he is a justice person...
...they don't suspect why he is on top of the building.
A diversion, you mean?
Right. Superman is one of the robbers.
And since it's a difficult trick, I believe only one can do it. Lupan The 3RD.
Look at this photo.
He's not Superman, as you can see.
But if he puts another face...
He is the one.
That's right, Superman is Lupan in disguise.
Pops, you're wrong.
I am not Superman.
Arrest Lupan!
Freeze!
You can't just shoot aimlessly. Yet another of your weaknesses.
Is Lupan really Superman?
To verify that we need to catch Lupan alive.
It's Superman.
Lupan changes into Superman and robs the 4th bank.
Lupan when did you become Superman?
In this case, I'll have to expose the real face of Superman.
Otherwise I'll be the criminal.
I see.
What, Lupan?
What are you doing?
Look, Jigen!
These are the banks that have been robbed till now.
Huh? So what?
You don't get it?
What if I do that?
Connecting the marks forms a circle.
I see.
Superman was never seen outside this circle.
Which means he's restricted there. And he always fly off to the center of the circle.
This is Superman's hideout.
5th avenue #5.
Isn't there a small supermarket?
Huh?
Goemon, where are you going?
I have a hunch.
So, you are all brothers?
You're the heroic samurai, right?
Bastards! What is your goal?
I won't tell you.
But there is a lady who wants your sword.
Bring it over.
Goemon, it's me.
Thanks to your barging, I was able to sneak in.
I'll save you soon. Wait a minute.
Listen, my sons, tomorrow is the real deal.
If we fall tomorrow, our shop will be finished.
Everybody buck up!
To our Superman, cheers!
What is that fox Fujiko doing?
The Supermarket people can become Superman.
! praise their sense of humor. although they are the foe.
As expected from Fujiko's plans.
It's not the time to admire her. We are wrongly accused of bank robbery.
But this time their target is not the bank, Jigen.
1st bank, 2nd bank, 3rd bank,
4th, bank, 5th bank, 6th and 7th bank...
If we join them it forms a big circle.
And the only one left in the circle is 8th bank.
Their next target must be...
...here.
I agree.
Ok. Starting tomorrow we'll keep a watch on the 8th bank.
This way we'll arrest Superman, I mean Lupan, for sure.
Enough, dad!
Nice, you look very cool.
Listen, today's target is next to 8th bank.
I know.
You must fly more gracefully.
Count on me.
Then, my son, go out!
For the sake of our supermarket!
I'm setting off.
Nothing unusual for now.
An UFO detected.
It's Superman.
Don't move!
We can't let him find us.
Yes, I got it.
Take a look.
He's finally here.
Everyone, we finally have a chance to arrest Superman. Keep alert!
Yes!
Lupan!
He is Lupan?
So, who is the other Superman?
Pops, now you can see that I'm not the Superman.
Shut up! I'll arrest you in the charge of bank robbery.
Listen, Pops.
If you think today's target is the bank, you're wrong.
What?
Instead of stalking here, I advise you to move next door.
Next door?
Superman!
Superman is here!
Superman...
Superman is dreamy.
Let's destroy my market's enemies!
This way tomorrow there will be only our supermarket left.
Yes!
It's time to leave.
With this we'll flatten this place.
Ok, that's enough.
Luckily we followed Lupan's advice. Otherwise things would not go so smoothly.
Throw your weapons and surrender!
Strange... Why is there another Superman?
Hey you, imposter!
Are you here to stop me?
Lupaaan!
Fu....Fujiko...
Why the hell did you interfere with my scheme?!
Stooooop!
Lupan, what grudge do you have with me? Spoiling my plans!
Be careful how you are swinging the sword!
Lupan, you Super-lecher!
Stop!Lupaaaaaan!!!
I was caught by the female pirate Jeane in the evil Bermuda triangle.
Apparently she wants the Stone child I stole.
But this lady's actually really charming.
