==Plot== ''Viewtiful Joe'' is divided into seven stages, or "episodes", interspersed with storyline cutscenes, and bookended by an opening and ending cinematic. The setting is divided between [[Earth]], and "Movieland", the game's fictional world of films. The plot begins in a movie theatre on Earth, in which the game's central character Joe and his girlfriend Silvia are watching a [[tokusatsu]] drama, starring the aged superhero Captain Blue. The movie's antagonist, having seemingly defeated Captain Blue, suddenly reaches out of the screen and abducts Silvia, taking her into Movieland. Joe is likewise picked up and taken into Movieland by Captain Blue's giant [[mecha]], "Six Majin". Inside the movie, Joe must rescue Silvia from the evil Jadow, the game's organization of [[villain]]s. To help him, Captain Blue entrusts him with a V-Watch, a device Joe can use to transform into a superhero upon saying the word "henshin (transform)."<ref>{{cite video game|title=Viewtiful Joe |developer=Capcom Production Studio 4|publisher=Capcom|date=26 June 2003|platform=Nintendo GameCube|quote='''Captain Blue:''' Ahh, your heroness has awakened. Now, the V-Watch is responding to your hero instincts deep down inside. When the V-Watch glows, say the word, "Henshin!”}}</ref> Joe promptly does so, inventing his own [[catchphrase]]: "Henshin-a-go-go, baby!" With the guidance of Captain Blue, Joe fights his way through a number of Movieland's locations such as cities, caves, an underwater base, and a [[submarine]], often travelling via his trusty, robot aircraft "Six Machine". One by one, Joe defeats the members of the Jadow, the game's [[Boss (video gaming)|bosses]]. These include Dark Fiend Charles the 3rd, Iron [[Ogre]] Hulk Davidson, Aquatic Terror Gran Bruce, a [[doppelgänger]] of Viewtiful Joe, and Blade Master Alastor. Before fighting Alastor, he reveals that in order for the Jadow to break out of Movieland and into the land of humans, they need the "[[DNA]] of the Creator", namely Silvia.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Viewtiful Joe |developer=Capcom Production Studio 4|publisher=Capcom|date=26 June 2003|platform=Nintendo GameCube|quote='''Alastor:''' The key to our success lies in the DNA of the Creator. As long as we have that DNA in our possession, we will be able to come and go at will in the world of humans, which is why we need the girl. '''Joe:''' The girl...? You mean Silvia!}}</ref> Joe makes his way to her, trumping the Jadow's leader Inferno Lord Fire Leo in combat, only to witness Silvia being kidnapped once again afterwards. Joe and Six Machine race off into outer space after her in the game's final episode. Finding Silvia atop the control room of a space station, Joe discovers that Captain Blue has been behind the plot the entire time. The former hero reveals that he is the creator of the film in which they currently exist, and that he is Silvia's seemingly-deceased father.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Viewtiful Joe |developer=Capcom Production Studio 4|publisher=Capcom|date=26 June 2003|platform=Nintendo GameCube|quote='''Captain Blue:''' Foolish boy, you still don’t get it, do you? I am the Creator; I made this film and everything in it. Silvia, I am your father, Silvia. '''Silvia:''' That's not true... momma told me my daddy died!}}</ref> Transforming into the colossal robot King Blue, the villain proclaims that he will take Sylvia's energy by force in order to break into the real world. Joe tells him off, telling him that he's no hero. Joe summons Six Majin, and the two engage in combat. When the fight ends, Captain Blue and Viewtiful Joe abandon their respective vehicles, and face off in a final battle within the space station. Joe is victorious, and Captain Blue, finally coming to his senses, thanks the young hero for stopping him. He explains that two decades earlier, Blue was a revolutionary film maker who was soon thought of as a fad. Wanting nothing more than to create heroes, Blue was sucked into one of his own films, allowing him to live out his dream as a hero. However, he had lost touch with reality, and wanted revenge on the people who had betrayed him. As Captain Blue and Silvia embrace in a heartfelt reunion, the director tells Joe that the story is not complete. He snaps his fingers, and the space station's onboard computer warns of a large number of [[Unidentified flying object|UFOs]] heading towards Earth. Blue tells Joe that a hero will be needed twice more to save the world.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Viewtiful Joe |developer=Capcom Production Studio 4|publisher=Capcom|date=26 June 2003|platform=Nintendo GameCube|quote='''Captain Blue:''' Like I said, there’s more to this story. There’s two more times the Earth will be in danger. And each time a hero must stand up to defend it. '''Joe:''' Wh-wh-what did you say? Did you say two more times?}}</ref> Joe attempts to leave, but not before Silvia requests a V-Watch from her father and to accompany her boyfriend. Viewtiful Joe and a newly transformed Silvia head out to stop the impending threat together.
