JETTER MARS: Here Comes a New Hero!

★The two scientists cause a ruckus in the lobby.

"I'm going to turn Mars into a war robot!"
"No way, Dr. Yamanoue! Mars will be a robot who lives for peace!"

"No, Mars is a robot I designed! He's mine to do with as I please!"
"That's not right! "
"Shut up, you moron!"
"What are you on about!? You're the moron!"
The two started fighting over Mars.

MARS IS BORN!

★Where Mars was born
The island of Tokyo, where Mars was born. Here, in the android factory in the Ministry of Science, Dr. Yamanoue used the electronic brain created by Dr. Kawashimo to make Mars sentient.

"Yes! We've done it!"
The cute little robot rose up, blinking its big eyes in wonder.
"Who am I?
"You are Mars. I am Dr. Yamanoue, I made you. In other words, I'm your father."
"Father!?"

"Oh my, what a cute little robot you are! I'm Miri. Nice to meet you, Mars."
"Yes, nice to meet you, Miri..." The newborn Mars said, looking at her with a puzzled look on his face.

"Yay, yay!"
Mars lifted the hovercar up over his head with great joy.
"Eek! I'm scared! Somebody save us!"

"Mars, you are the world's best robot, aren't you? Don't you think it's wrong to do this?" Dr. Kawashimo said
"What do you mean, 'wrong'?"

"He's getting dizzy! Put us down now!" Miri finally burst into tears, and Mars was startled to see Miri crying, and he wondered what was happening to her.
"What was that?"
At that moment, Dr. Yamanoue called in and said: "Mars, a thunderbolt has struck the station! Come at once!"

From that day onward, Mars would receive training from Dr. Yamanoue to be a combat robot.
"Go, Mars! Defeat that combat robot!"
"Yes, Father. They don't stand a chance! Take this!"
Just then, Dr. Kawashimo and Miri arrived.
"There he is again, that bumbling moron! Mars, get him out of my sight!"
"Yes, Father!"

"Let's take care of Faitan! Take this! And that!"
Mars moved with blinding speed, launching the offensive.
As the moon set, a final vortex punch was thrust into Faitan.

The computer in the station shut down because of the thunderstorm, and Faitan started rampaging. Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp....
A huge stream of water flooded in thanks to Faitan. "Mars, quickly, patch up the holes!"
Mars threw pieces of debris into place. And then, Miri began to stroke the wall. Miri's tips began to mysteriously glow as the hole in the wall welded itself closed.
"So, Miri is a robot, too!?"

And so, the scientists were saved, and Mars and Miri become friends, but...

"Yamanoue, you can't just let Mars beat up whatever he wants. He should only fight for peace!"
"No, Mars has done a great job. He has shown strength and courage!"
"No! Love and peace!"
"You childish moron!"
"You're the childish moron!"
"They sure do love arguing, huh, Miri?"
In the beautiful light of the sun, Mars and Miri stood hand in hand.
