But 8th Man also faces the challenge of Enon 005 - a super-robot sent from the country of Armaco to recover the bomb, which they built!! Super episode too and one of my favs!

Mysterious Human Ghost

A Black Butterfly agent named, Mr. Barret is caught in an violent explosion (thats it there in the first pic..I dont think the scientist-dude in the rear lived through it) that changed his molecular structure. Now he can walk through walls or any solid substance, hence his new name the "Ghost". Mr. Karsh, the head of BB operations in the area sends the powerful Atomic Ghost on a series of missions to undermine the national security and just plain cause a bunch of trouble! But 8th Man is there at every turn to thwart him, so now the prime objective is the destruction of 8th Man and the Ghost will use Chief Fumblethumbs and Jenny to lure our Hero into a trap!

Some information is available on this episode. Not sure how this was translated into English-version. Japanese version says its about a Nazi scientist who is the succesor "daemon doctor" which means Dr. Spectra! So, maybe Intercrime fires Spectra in this epsiode, not sure. Anyway this Nazi guy builds some kind of weapon to defeat 8th Man, but he doesnt succeed, of course! This one is on my Want List! You got it?

In this two part episode that wraps up the TV series, three evil little kid geniuses take on 8 Man with a variety of advanced inventions such as personal force fields, energy weapons and a rather ineffective robot who gets his can kicked by 8th Man several times. The first part basically introduces these things and also shows the European spy gang "Black Butterfly" at odds with both the evil kids and 8 Man. Dr Spectra also gets in the picture as an unexpected ally in this most unusual offing!

In this second part the battle heats up between 8 Man at the evil "children". He takes a hit from one of their weapons and gets both legs blown off but is able to escape. The building this battle takes place in is destroyed, but this was just a cover for an inpregnable "fortress" that the kids hide in. The Army comes along to save the day but the evil kids have a death-ray that blasts them and all the surroundings into a war-zone wasteland. Dr Spectra, 8 Man and Prof. Tani all have a pow-wow agree to allow Spectra to build new equipment into 8 Man! Now he has the ability to oscilliate his robotic body at such high-speed that he can vaporize about anything he contacts! This new ability is the death-knell for the above mentioned evil robot who gets turned to dust at their next encounter! The defeat their robot gets one of the kids so upset that he decides to go outside their protective fortress to battle 8th man face to face - that turns out to be a mistake that backfires and he is killed. After this a truce is called and the fighting ends...the kid's fortress is in reality a spaceship or a dimensional traveler, they vanish and are gone. The last frames relay to the viewer one word, strangely enough in English ... END
