SPACE KNIGHT

TEKKAMAN

Let the sun burn! Race forth, Tekkaman!

Moero taiyou kakero Tekkaman

The Waldastar are there, scheming in the dark!

Yami ni ugomeku Waldastar

In the light of the shining galaxies

Kudaite hoshikuzu uchuu no hate ni

If you call out your father's name...

Kirameku ginga ni chichi no na yobeba

The tear you cry will be another star

Hitosuji nagareru namidaboshi

Do it, Pegas! Tek Setter!

Yaruzo Pegas Tek Setter

Space Knight! Space Knight Tekkaman!

Uchuu no kishi uchuu no kishi Tekkaman

Do it, Pegas! Tek Setter!

Yaruzo Pegas Tek Setter

Space Knight! Space Knight Tekkaman!

Uchuu no kishi uchuu no kishi Tekkaman

Small unidentified object detected.

Coordinates: Theta-10033, Phi-2413111.

ISDO space center control room, this is security radar spaceship XY-0234 reporting

small unidentified objects approaching rapidly via Leap Navigation.

The Man-Eating Space Plant

The Stellar Rogue Cluster, seeking to control the cosmos, comes for Earth again.

The Earth Defense Force does not hesitate to launch a counterattack.

Their missiles destroy the invading ships as they enter the stratosphere.

It seemed an effortless victory, like none Earth had yet seen.

Yes! We did it!

That's our state-of-the-art rocket battery! The Earth Defense Force's pride!

They're wonderful!

Don't celebrate just yet.

What did you say?

Have a look at that.

A little gift from the Waldastar.

Some kind of space mine?

Do they think the Earth Defense Force can't handle one of those things?

The object is entering the stratosphere. Attack immediately!

That space mine was just a hunk of junk.

That Waldastar invasion was a total failure.

They're underestimating us again.

Did they really think they could beat us with that cheap little plan?

What a joke. Right, Andro?

Mr. Amachi! Have you seen?

What is it, Director Kling?

You don't know?

Look!

W-What is this?

Some plant must have mutated a strain that thrives in pollution.

Now it's overrunning the planet!

Mr. Amachi, this is a miracle!

It's a modern miracle!

The power of man is truly insignificant before that of God.

Our research could never yield fields of green like this.

And this all came forth in a day!

And so, plants sprung forth from the polluted soil.

The people rejoiced. They ran, they rolled.

They felt grass under their feet for the first time in ages.

But...

I pray that this is God's will, but...

Kling, what kind of plant did this mutate from?

I don't know.

I asked Professor Aoba Shigeru of the World Botanical Institute to look into it.

Have you heard a response?

Not yet.

What's wrong, Amachi?

Something worries me about this.

Space Knights, please board the Blue Earth and stand by for orders.

Space Knights, please board the Blue Earth and stand by for orders.

What could it be?

I don't know. Father went out somewhere.

Beautiful.

It's like a dream!

Was the Earth truly this beautiful, once?

Amachi, now that the Earth's greenery is reborn, we must strive to protect it.

We're here. That's the World Botanical Institute.

I've never seen plants like this before.

They're a completely new species.

What? Then they're not a mutant strain?

No. I've run several tests and it's simply not possible.

But...

But?

I do know of a plant with some similarities.

What kind of plant?

It bears some resemblance to carnivorous plants.

What?!

Chief!

All the laboratory's insects have disappeared!

What? Disappeared?

Yes. They're all gone without a trace.

They didn't just escape, then?

No. There's no way they could.

There's been no tampering with the capsules or cases, either.

What does it mean, Professor?

I thought so.

It seems these aren't Earth plants at all.

They appear to be of a carnivorous plant species from outer space.

What?!

How could that be?

Where the heck did the director get off to?

The Botanical Institute.

It was very rude of him to order us on standby without explanation, though.

No kidding.

Look at that, Jouji!

What are these things?!

T-This is a botanical snare...

The Green Trap!

Green Trap?

Wait, Andro! Where are you going?

Don't go! It's too dangerous!

I'll be just fine.

Andro!

Come back! Andro!

ANDRO!

Andro!

What happened?

Preparations complete.

Fire!

We did it!

It worked!

It worked!

It really worked!

We did it!

It's—

The super napalm did nothing.

So we can't burn it out?

We might be too late.

The only way to eradicate it might be to destroy the whole Earth.

What are we supposed to do?

Director.

You! What are you doing here?

No time for that. Please, examine my blood.

What?

This Green Trap affected my homeworld, Sanno, as well.

A legend says that we Sannonites, to protect ourselves,

developed a new virus and implanted it into our bodies.

I want you to find it.

Mr. Amachi!

Understood. Thank you, Andro.

We're counting on you.

The scientists drew blood from Andro's arm.

That blood was the one ray of hope humanity had for survival.

They then bred the special virus from his blood and a special growth culture.

Amachi here.

What? It's finished?

Yes. We've completed the special virus.

I see. Excellent work.

We'll ready an Earth Defense Force helicopter squadron at once.

Yes, on the double.

We need to spread it all around the world.

Go to it.

Sir.

We can't afford to fail. Earth's survival is riding on this.

But those aliens won't just sit back and watch.

They'll catch wind of our plan and try to stop us.

Space Knights, move out!

What? They have a plan to destroy the Green Trap?

Yes, sir. According to our spies on Earth...

Impossible! The Green Trap is invincible!

They extracted a special virus from the Sannonite's blood, and...

What? No!

You have to stop them!

Full speed ahead to Earth!

Jouji, look at that!

Here they come. I knew the Waldastar wouldn't keep quiet.

Damn.

A new weapon?

They've destroyed the laser cannon! We need to change tactics!

Right! Andro, take care of things here!

You know I will.

Power Wrap!

What's that? Tekkaman got in your way?

Yes, sir.

Die, fool!

We've done it!

The virus is doing its work!

The Green Trap is disappearing!

It's ironic that we should celebrate the disappearing greenery.

Lord Doblais! I beg your forgiveness!

I really did act carelessly this time.

But I swear, I will not fail again.

I never dreamed those primitive Earthlings could destroy the Green Trap!

I am tired of hearing those words.

Forgive me! Forgive me, sir!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Will our Earth never see the likes of such greenery again?

It was like looking into the face of the devil.

If the Green Trap had not been carnivorous,

it could have saved the Earth.

The Blue Earth has returned!

That is our true star of hope!

You're quite right, Mr. Amachi.

The Space Knights and Tekkaman!

Who would have thought the reborn greenery would be a Waldastar trap?

There's no telling what the Waldastar might try in their quest to conquer Earth.

Keep your prayers for Earth's peace in your heart.

Go forth, Tekkaman! The Space Knight!
