Plot
[edit]While playing with Shinnosuke "Shin" Nohara, Shin's father Hiroshi breaks his back. Desperate for treatment, Hiroshi accepts an invitation to a spa, which ends up transforming him into a robot. Despite initially disbelieving his identity, Hiroshi's wife, Misae eventually warms up to him while hiring private investigator Dandanbara Teruyo to track down the spa; Misae finally becomes convinced when Hiroshi rescues Shin and his friends during a field trip.
Omega Ranran, who had earlier invited Hiroshi to the spa, gives Shin a mustache add-on for Hiroshi; when plugged in, Hiroshi suddenly turns furiously misogynistic and starts an antifeminist-campaign consisting of fathers. Shin and his friends manage to remove the mustache, though Hiroshi is captured by Tekkenji Doukatsu, Ranran's leader. Shin follows him to his factory, where he discovers Hiroshi in his human form; Hiroshi realizes that his robot version is simply a clone that has his memories. Shin and both versions of Hiroshi successfully stop the campaign, during which Hiroshi's robot defeats Tekkenji.
While both Hiroshis debate their real identity, the Noharas and Dandanbara are captured by Tekkenji, who is revealed to be controlled by police chief Kuroiwa. Kuroiwa attempts to torture Shin with Hiroshi's robot, though Shin manages to undo Kuroiwa's control. A battle ensues, extending from Kuroiwa's later-destroyed base to the construction site from Shin's earlier field trip, culminating in Shin and both Hiroshis teaming up to defeat Kuroiwa. After the human Hiroshi wins an arm wrestling match with his robot version, the latter succumbs to his wounds.
