It's closing in!

Damn!

So who's available?

We have confirmation that

Lightning Max and Smile Man are on their way!

Give me that threat level assessment!

As you can see, explosions are going off behind me!

The wake of destruction left by this monster is at an unprecedented scale!

The Hero Association is analyzing the threat level in order to...

Guess I'll go.

Mine's far superior.

I was formed from the pollution man wrought upon the Earth.

I am Vaccine Man!

The Earth is a single living organism.

You filthy humans are nothing but a disease -causing bacteria eating away at a precious life force.

In order to wipe out humanity and the evil civilization built on her surface, the Earth and her infinite wisdom has given birth to me!

You say you do this for fun?

How dare you confront

Mother Earth's Apostle for such a mindless reason!

Yet what could be expected from a hero?

Not again.

All it took was one punch.

DAMMIT!

I'll see you next time.

If I'm not a hero, I'll fight a hero.

A lonely hero.

I wanna be a second hero!

A monster!

Let's go!

What's this?

Are you sure you don't want to run away?

Bet you're a new businessman already hating the daily grind.

I ate too much crab and turned into this crablante.

You should be crapping in your pants right now.

Why aren't you running?

Got a death wish or something? Is that it?

Well, not quite.

I'm no businessman.

I'm unemployed.

right now I'm looking for a job I had another interview today

and got turned down big time I couldn't care less about anything

and I'm in no mood to turn tail and run just

because you're here so what happens now Crablante your eyes are cold

and lifeless just the same as mine since we have that in Common, I think I'll let you off the hook this time.

Besides, right now I'm out hunting different prey.

A brat with a big chin.

And when I find him, I'm gonna rip his arms off.

Gah!

What are you looking at?

A big chin brat.

If he's caught, he's dead.

Hey, kid.

Were you messing with a big crab monster?

While he was sleeping out in the park, I drew some nipples on his chest.

It's definitely him.

He has no idea what he's done.

What do I do?

I could still help, but...

Huh?

This kid's kind of weird looking.

It's none of my business, really.

I should just walk away, right?

I mean who really cares anyway?

G -g -g -g -found you!

What the hell am I doing?

Listen kid, he's after you!

Now get out of here!

Don't worry about me, just go! But, I can't.

I gotta get my soccer ball.

Are you serious?

Cold eyes.

What's the big idea?

Don't tell me you're gonna protect that stinking big chinned brat.

Oh, come on.

100

You're really gonna kill this kid over some harmless little prank?

101

Doesn't that seem kind of harsh?

102

Whatever.

103

I've killed people for a lot less.

104

Whoever makes fun of the way I look pays the price.

105

No exceptions.

106

By the way, that little punk threw ridiculous nipples on my manly shell chest!

107

An impermanent marker!

108

I've got claws!

109

I can't even use a towel to wipe it off!

110

Get in my way, and I'll make sure that job interview you blew today will be your last!

111

Man it just came to me you look just like a villain from this kids cartoon I used to watch

112

Stop right there.

113

If I watch you kill a kid right in front of me, I'll have nightmares.

114

You know what?

115

When I was a little boy, I wanted to be a hero.

116

Not some damn businessman, but a superhero who could send rotten villains like you flying with one punch.

117

Screw looking for a job.

118

Bring it on, crab!

119

Oh, a hero, huh?

120

Huh?

121

Ridiculous!

122

You're pathetic!

123

You don't stand a chance against me!

124

Your life ends.

125

Now!

126

Has it really been three years since then?

127

After that...

128

Day, I trained so hard, I went bald.

129

I became so powerful, no one can beat me.

130

I'm the hero I'd always dreamed of becoming. So what is this?

131

What's wrong with me?

132

Why does my heart feel so lifeless and empty?

133

482 yen, please.

134

Sure.

135

Oh, hang on a sec.

136

Here, I have the 82 yen.

137

Yes!

138

This is incredible, little brother!

139

I never thought it would work so well.

140

Amazing.

141

This power is more than I could have ever imagined.

142

My goal was to become the strongest man in the world.

143

The strongest man.

144

That was my dream.

145

At last, the ultimate steroid, Biceps King, is complete.

146

Hey, Marugori, drink this and you will obtain the power you've been seeking!

147

What?

148

You sure about this?

149

Indeed!

150

I added strawberry flavoring to make it go down easier!

151

Okay...

152

Yes!

153

Wonderful!

154

My brains and your brawn!

155

By combining the greatest of minds and the strongest of bodies this world has to offer,

156

the two of us will conquer the earth and rule together as kings!

157

We're unstoppable!

158

Incredible!

159

Good!

160

Well done!

161

Thousands have perished!

162

Now then, only cleanse the next town as well!

163

This is it.

164

This is what I was looking for.

165

To be the strongest man.

166

This is an emergency evacuation warning.

167

A giant creature of unknown origin has appeared in city D.

168

The creature is currently on a direct path towards city B.

169

All residents, please evacuate immediately.

170

Yes!

171

Run!

172

Scattered like rats!

173

Destroy them all!

174

The strongest man!

175

The strongest man!

176

The strongest man!

177

So what do you think, dear brother?

178

Yeah.

179

How's it feel being the strongest?

180

What?

181

There's someone on your shoulder!

182

Put some pants on.

183

That guy there on your shoulder!

184

Kill him!

185

Brother nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo What a pain!

186

The strongest!

187

Behold our brotherly power!

188

I am the strongest.

189

But what does that matter?

190

I feel empty.

191

You get it, right?

192

Having overwhelming strength is...

193

Pretty boring, actually.

194

Whoops!

195

There's no sign that the evils of this world are disappearing.

196

That hasn't changed since before I became a hero.

197

So, I guess that means I haven't really made any difference.

198

I'm not necessarily sad about that.

199

But there has been something bothering me lately.

200

As the days pass, my emotions grow more distant.

201

Fear, tension, joy, anger.

202

I feel none of them anymore.

203

In exchange for power, maybe I've lost something that's essential for being human.

204

Oh.

205

No sense hiding if you saw me.

206

I'm super custom Y0649Z Mark II.

207

I love building custom cars.

208

Before, I'd have all kinds of emotions whirling inside me when I fought.

209

Dread, panic, rage.

210

If you're thinking about getting in my way, I'll put a spin sign on that big headlight of yours.

211

But now, all I need is one punch to end it.

212

Eggs over rice sounds good for dinner tonight.

213

Every day I come home uninjured and wash my gloves.

214

When I'm out fighting monsters, I never feel as if my heart's really in it anymore.

215

I mean, I just do the hero thing as a hobby.

216

But as long as I get a kick out of it, in the end, that's all I really care about.

217

My house!

218

He's tough.

219

Just what in the hell are you?

220

What are we?

221

That's rude.

222

We are the true Earthlings.

223

Did you say we?

224

I believe your kind call us subterraneans.

225

We suffer from overpopulation, therefore we must claim the world above ground.

226

We've learned the surface world is overpopulated too.

227

This is a problem for us.

228

Which is why we have decided to eradicate all of you.

229

Since we began our invasion operation, 70 % of the surface dwellers have died.

230

This is a battle for survival.

231

I hope you can understand that.

232

However, this is unexpected.

233

We have encountered no surface dwellers that our punches could not kill.

234

Oh yeah?

235

Same here.

236

It's been too long since I've come across such worthy opponents.

237

Mole men!

238

We are Earthlings!

239

What? But how?

240

Human bastard!

241

Die!

242

Roar!

243

Hyah!

244

Hyah!

245

Roar!

246

Roar!

247

Roar!

248

Roar!

249

It's over.

250

What was that surface dweller?

251

He was so strong! Who?

252

Me?

253

I'm just a guy who's a hero for fun.

254

I never lose.

255

And the surface.. is guarded by me!

256

Big talk for a race of vermin!

257

What is this feeling coming over me?

258

This wild throbbing in my heart.

259

This rush.

260

This sensation.

261

It's been so long.

262

I've forgotten.

263

The exhilaration of a real fight!

264

It's all coming back to me now.

265

This is it!

266

Well, well.

267

It looks like you've been taking good care of my children, surface dweller.

268

269

270

You surface dwellers must die!

This video has 288 sentences and 1881 words to shadow. The speech runs for 23:57. The speaker talks slowly, about 79 words per minute, so there is time to copy every sound. Only 79% of the words are among the 3,000 most common in English, so the vocabulary is demanding. 48 of its 288 sentences are questions, so it is good practice for question intonation and short answers.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
