Medabots (メダロット)

When you're watching TV, keep the room well lit and sit far from the screen!

Medarot.

An all-new kind of robot born from cutting-edge technology.

Inside a basic frame called "Tinpet", an AI Medal is inserted.

Furthermore the combination of different Parts can create all kinds of abilities.

If you're a man you gotta live like one!

No shortcuts, no hesitation!

If you're a man that lives life on the edge,

your heart will always be

red red red red red

like a burning flame!

Hide away your tears!

Be completely invincible, you cannot lose!

The game is not easy!

You have no time for doubts!

Face the challenge with courage and guts!

Babanban! Babanban!

Babanban! It's time for battle!

Showdown! Climax!

Fired up until the end!!

Attack! Attack! Attack!

That's it! That's it! That's it!

Victory or defeat, it will be all decided in an instant!

Babanban! Babanban!

Babanban! It's time for battle!

Attack! Attack! Attack!

That's it! That's it! That's it!

Keep on winning with courage and wit!

Great job, Bluesdog! Keep it up!

Wait, Bluesdog!

That was close...

The one to strike the Boss' heart

The one to strike the Boss' heart will

The one to strike the Boss' heart will be

The one to strike the Boss' heart will be me.

Bang!

New models sure are something else! The Boss will be so proud of us now!

Boss...

Uh oh... That was lightining.

Enter Rintarou!

Some mysterious Medarots appeared?

Yup.

I had never seen them before.

Metabee!

Off the bat, their target was Metabee.

I think they waited for him to activate Medaforce and drain all of his energy to appear.

So these would be the mysterious Medarots...

Well? I think I did a swell job.

When did you get these?!

I took them secretly.

You weren't even there when it happened!

You're underestimating my intelligence network. It's only second to the CIA's.

How did you take them?

A trade secret.

Don't give me that!

These were not produced by the Medarot Corporation.

Do Medarots not produced by the Corporation even exist?

The Medarot Corporation has given a few companies the license to manufacture Parts,

but these are clearly not from their lines.

I smell a scoop.

Then who are these guys?

No clue.

But be wary. Whoever these guys are, they're obviously after Metabee's Rare Medal.

Man!

The Professor is completely useless whenever he's needed.

Don't you worry about a thing. Whatever opponent comes our way, there's no way I'll lose!

Regardless, this kind of thing is bound to happen to the third best in the whole nation!

Well, think of it as noblesse oblige and move on.

What the heck does that mean?

Iwanoi!

What happened?!

Get a grip!

A weird... A weird Medarot...

What did you say?

There he is, Boss!

Ikki, you bastard! How dare you?!

Boss! You came here to save me, didn't you?

It wasn't me! Iwanoi was already like this when we arrived!

I dont give a crap about that twit!

Heavy!

Boss, that was too much...

I was talking about what you did to my Peppercat!

Peppercat!

She said that Metabee attacked her while she was on her way to bring me my ballet shoes.

Hold up for a second.

Kikuhime, you do ballet?!

That's so not like you!

Stop laughing!

That's not the

That's not the point!

Why did she only hit me?

Wait a moment! I've been with Ikki the whole time.

Do you think that counts as an alibi?!

It's not only Peppercat!

Otokoyama's Digmole...

The Principal's Nantetsu...

All of them have been attacked!

I think you've got the wrong person—I mean, Medarot.

Yeah. Metabee's not the only KBT-type around, either.

It might have been a different KBT-type model.

The cat's out of the bag, Ikki!

You're the only one in town who has a KBT-type Medarot!

It wasn't us!

You get back here!

Boss...

Dang it. Where did they go?

Let's go.

Aye.

Why do we have to run and hide from them?

Are you sure you're not the ones who attacked them?

Are you doubting me?!

I can somehow picture you doing that.

You're pretty violent already...

Hey, you! Is that what you really think of me?!

Here they are!

You cheaters!

Starting a Robattle without our consent...

You're a disgrace to all Medarotters!

We'll teach you a lesson!

Stop running!

Is this 'noblesse oblige' as well?

Yeah, right! Being accused of things I've never done... I can't take this anymore!

Indeed. We don't know what they're talking about.

Still, they all say they've seen us.

Are you telling me...

Impostors?!

Nisemono (Impostor): a poem from the Heian period, supposedly wriiten by Ariwara no Narihira.

Composed of 125 sections, most of the poems included begin with "One upon a time, there was a man".

While I wait for someone to retort "That's not 'Impostor', that's 'Ise Monogatari'!", I'll take my leave.

I'm so bored.

This scarf I began knitting after the last battle has become three meters long,

and yet nobody has challenged me ever since.

What's the problem? You could put this time into studying.

Here's the problem! Take a look.

After the last ranking announcement, my schedule has been completely blank!

Let me see.

I've also heard that Ikki has challengers from all over the country coming for his title.

You are simply too strong, young Master.

Other contenders look for weaker opponents they know they can win against to rack up points.

My skill as a Medarotter is making me unable to fight anyone.

How ironic...

Stop the car!

Where are you going?

Where else? I can't just sit and wait. I'll have to take the initiative myself, or I'll never be number one.

Let's go, Smilodonad!

What's wrong, Smilodonad?

Wow, a Smilodonad! It's so cool!

Who the heck are you?!

Hey, nice to meetcha! The name's Rintarou Namishima!

Are you a Medarotter?

I came here looking for Ikki Tenryou!

Ikki?!

Ikki's amazing! He's been a Medarotter for less than a year and he's already in third place!

He's so cool! I wanna fight him no matter what!

They all go on and on about Ikki! What about me? I'm in second place, for Pete's sake!

I can't let this slide!

If you want to fight that guy so much, you're going to have to beat me first!

Young Master...

Alright!

Let's Robattle!

T-This is!

KBT-type Medarot KANTAROS

Metabee!

No, wait! That's the newest model from the KBT-type family, the 2020!

Load complete! This is my Kantaros!

Both participants agree, right?

Well, then. Robattle...

...Fight!

Go, Kantaros!

A Robattle!

In the shopping district! I've heard it's Smilodonad and Metabee!

It's the fight of the century! I've gotta see this!

What the heck?!

Could it be..?

The impostor showed up?

That's..!

The KBT-type 2020!

The newest version of the Metal Beetle! And it's been customized quite a bit, too!

Smilodonad! Quickly, close in on him!

So fast! He's beating Smilodonad's speed!

Kantaros, use your Revolver!

Left knee joint wounded. Lower section: shutting down.

I see! Focusing on a sigle spot, he aimed at Smilodonad's leg to rid him of his speed!

Is that even possible?

Nope... When you're facing a speed-focused Medarot, hitting them at all is hard.
