Solbrain fails in a mission to find a bomb. Somehow, the criminals responsible are using technology that defies the bomb detectors. At the same time, with a bolt of lightning, a boy's deceased inventor grandpa returns to life! As this miraculously returned man rushes to find the parts to complete his invention, they (and Solbrain) discover that this returnee from the afterlife has the ability to sense the presence of the hidden bombs!
Notes:
Oh boy, here we go. WARNING: SAGIYAMA.
Kyoko Sagiyama, the queen of tearjerkers and melodrama, from Minky Momo and Winspector fame, returns with her first episode that was originally titled "Ghost Grandpa". I have the script for this one, and Ghost Grandpa is crossed out and "The Human Regeneration Machine" is written in. I guess someone told Sagiyama that ghosts don't belong in Rescue Police after she decided to sneak it by. In any case, this episode is pretty typical of Sagiyama episode, in that it is about events that don't really directly involve the Solbrain squad that still gets them involved. That being said it's nice to see that Solbrain isn't perfect. Mistakes do get made. Look at how quietly angry Commander Masaki is after Solbrain fails to find the bomb.
I'll leave it to your own discretion to determine whether you like this episode or not, but I personally find it a little ridiculous. The tearjerker ending (spoilers) is good, and the message of the episode is good, but like with many Sagiyama episodes it really feels like she wants to tell her own story and then include the characters from the main series in her story as a second thought.
Her next episode, episode 18, was slightly better, but her episodes always feel like filler, and a departure from the main story.

Thanks again for more Solbrain, even if Sagiyama's involved this time.
>Minky Momo
On a related note, Amazon has streams for the dub, but nobody ripped those so far.
>I guess someone told Sagiyama that ghosts don't belong in Rescue Police after she decided to sneak it by.
Considering all the things that showed up in Winspector and Solbrain up to this point (psychics, cyborg birds, alien organisms, witches,mutant clones, amazons, artificial brains, man-made amoebas, werewolves) I don't see how ghosts would be any stranger all of a sudden, really.

And here I thought Ryoma was a hunk.
Nice
Thanks, m8.
thanks for doing this SO. BTW have you ever considered doing any one shots? Like those Kamen Rider short movies? Just curious.
>>14746946
I did do Kamen Rider ZO, completely retranslated from the ground up using the Blu-Ray raw. MegaAnon provided the timing and I just started from that and did the whole thing. It's a great film.
I also did the Shaider Saves Christmas episode last Christmas as a one shot because it has Satan Claus and is your typical Space Sheriff Shaider lunacy.

Neat. If you want, someone said they're going to upload the Super-1 movie on the off chance you're interested.

>feel like filler, and a departure from the main story
It´s an episodic show and it doesnt have a main story anyways.

>I have the script for this one,
A copy they actually used while filming or a reproduction?
>>14749374
Actual production script, marked with "production". There are some differences between the script and what actually happened in the actual episodes after editing. They're in good condition for being so old.
>>14749374
Here is a picture of some of the scripts, you can see the working titles crossed out and the new ones written in.

Neat
>>14750761
Where do you even get stuff like that? Auctions?
>>14750901
Got them at Mandarake Nagoya. They had a lot of Solbrain stuff for some reason
>>14750761
IMPRESSIVE.

On a related note, did you get the episode numbers mixed up? Episode 27 is the one with Sagiyama's talking plushies, not 26.

He's one of the select few fansubbers to go above and beyond in his hobby.
>>14753733
I did yeah. Oddly, her stuffed animal episode isn't as bad as the goshawk episode.
As for going above and beyond, I sub the things I sub because they're things I love.
>>14754491
I just hope your love will be enough to pull you through Agedama, I noticed you haven't posted much progress at the moment.
>>14754691
To be honest I haven't even been working on it, just messing with it here and there. My main goal is to get through Sol and Exceed and then see what happens next.
>>14756720
Seems fair, then. In the meantime, I can hardly wait for next time.
