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!

The Waldastar leader, Rambos, received a summons from Space Emperor Doblais.

So he reported to the outskirts of the Proxima System.

What he sees there...

I have been waiting, Rambos.

Sir!

You called for a meeting at the edge of the Proxima System immediately.

But what would you ask of me, Lord Doblais?

Professor Akje has thought of a plan to take the Earth.

Akje? You called me out this far for one of that idiot's silly, wild ideas...

You should wait until you hear the plan to speak ill of me.

If you can even understand it with that feeble brain of yours.

Silence! Of course I can't understand what you're saying!

Don't act so full of yourself when you can't even take one backwater planet.

How dare you say that to me?!

Stop it! You have no reason to quarrel when you've only just met.

Professor Akje, how are the experiment preparations coming?

Sir. They're all in order.

Have a look for yourself!

This is the mechanical satellite, Gorgos.

Professor! Preparations are complete!

Excellent! Begin the projection!

T-This is...

The Giant Planet Draws Near

Theta-23, Phi-04 Region. Nothing unusual.

Roger!

Theta-24, Phi-03 Region. Nothing unusual.

What's this?

What is it?

Is it a Waldastar spaceship?

No... this is a planet!

It's a huge planet we've never seen before!

What?

Magnify and project!

We didn't detect this in our scans ten days ago!

Which means it's approaching the solar system at high speed!

Contact the director!

Roger.

Set up an autoline between the Space Center and the Uranus Observatory.

Send me information the minute you get it.

Over.

Director! Has something happened?

Is it the Waldastar again?

No. Now it's a planet.

A planet?

A planet several dozen times the size of Earth is on a collision course.

We don't know the planet's exact course yet.

But the Space Observatory's calculations predict impact within our solar system.

It's very large, with a diameter several times that of Earth.

The gravity alone will make the Earth's core explode, pulverising it.

Director! We can't keep something so awful a secret.

The world's people will find out!

What should we do?

There's something that concerns me.

I'm also concerned about the trajectory of that planet.

What do you mean?

No, enough. All of you, stand by on the Blue Earth.

I must begin researching the data immediately.

Go to it.

Roger!

No problems in the computer!

It's in perfect shape!

No problems in the main controls!

No problems in the sub controls!

Right!

Now we can launch whenever we need to.

You're positive that the planet will enter our solar system within 90 days?

I don't think the Observatory's calculations are incorrect.

Damn. If this gets out to the world, there will be a huge panic.

Earth will be finished before the planet even gets here!

Chief Arthur, this must remain top secret.

No matter what happens, it must not leave this room.

Understood.

Commander Schvidar, put the world's observatories on lockdown immediately.

I'll send the order now.

No, even if you lock down the data, people will realize it soon enough.

Director Amachi, you must develop a countermeasure within thirty days.

Yes, sir.

Really?!

That's President Germa of the Ameria Republic!

There is something that I must share with the people of the world.

Our country's renowned astrophysicist, Professor Gorgos,

has announced the terrifying reality that, within three months' time,

an enormous planet will crash into Earth and destroy humanity.

I repeat. Humanity will be destroyed within three months.

What is all this?

How could a so-called president be so careless?!

Gentlemen, you heard the address on my video tape?

Mr. President!

How could you be so irresponsible?

Very well. My country demands 50 of the Earth Defense Force's best spaceships.

A hundred. A hundred, sir.

Oh, I meant a hundred.

Commander Schvidar, I must ask you to prepare them immediately.

Why do you want our spaceships?

Don't you get it? Humanity is going to be destroyed!

We elites should be allowed to board spaceships and escape the solar system!

That's ridiculous!

I'm against it, too.

Such a plan would abandon billions of people and leave them to die!

Idiot! Any alternative would leave no humans alive!

If we don't hurry, this plan will slip between our fingers, too.

In the meantime, rioting will overtake the Earth and it will be reduced to ruin.

What's that?

Emergency! Take battle positions!

Small Waldastar saucers attacking! All troops—

Let us on the ships!

We don't want to die!

Let us on!

This isn't a joke!

Let us on! Come on!

Stop it!

What? Two of them exploded? Was it the Waldastar?

Strange. The Waldastar should know that the Earth is doomed in three months, too.

If that's true, why are they still so determined to invade the Earth?

What?

Soldiers have arrived.

Do you read, Space Knights? Director Amachi sent us to guard the Blue Earth.

Guard? The Blue Earth?

We've heard the Waldastar are involved. Just in case.

Oh, this is awful.

The Waldastar, eh?

Jouji, President Germa of the Ameria Republic

ignored the Defense Force and escaped in a rocket!

What?

It's clear Waldastar are lying in await.

You need to stop him first.

Use weapons if you must, but give the order.

Roger. Please withdraw security forces.

Security? I know nothing about that.

What?

Okay!

You jerk!

That was close.

We've taken care of the Waldastar down here!

Good! Launch at once!

Target sighted!

It's close!

Waldastar saucers!

Oh, no!

Blue Earth! Hurry!

Roger.

Gorgos, the Waldastar are here. Will this be okay?

Gorgos!

W-What are you laughing about?

Y-You're—!

You really fell for it, Germa!

In fact, I am the great Rambos, leader of the Waldastar and targeting Earth!

W-What?

To help throw Earth into chaos, I wanted them to see a president run off alone!

I wonder what people will think as they watch a president retreat into space.

"The rumors that Earth will be destroyed are true!"

"We were deceived by the Space Development Center and our politicians!"

What will happen then?

Rioting!

Very good!

Then, Earth will fall into our hands.

But you have nothing to worry about.

As the one who told your citizens the truth, you'll be remembered by Waldastar!

W-What was that?

What was that? What's going on?!

It's the Blue Earth!

The Blue Earth!

The Space Knights have come to save me!

Idiot! You want the Space Knights to save you?

You're the president who betrayed his people!

If you return to Earth, you'll be hunted down like a dog!

What? Professor Gorgos was just Rambos in disguise?!

Yes. He ejected in a life pod.

A Waldastar saucer picked him up.

What of President Germa?

Professor Amachi, I've done something truly disgraceful.

I won't make excuses now. I just want to go home and be judged by my people.

The Earth...

What is Earth's status?

The chaos is spreading.

We've fallen right into Rambos's trap.

What are we going to do about this? The Space Development Center is considering—

Director! What's wrong?

I'm giving the Space Knights a special mission.

Sir!

Attack the giant planet. Avert the danger it poses to the Earth and the solar system!

What? Y-You can't mean...

Let's go, Jouji.

But, Andro—

I've been thinking it was strange for a while.

The Director seems to want his answer.

What do you mean?

Jouji, listen to me while the Blue Earth heads for the giant planet.

Roger.

A rogue planet of any size

will be affected by the gravity of nearby stars and planets as it travels.

Yet a planet several dozen times the Earth's size has headed toward Earth in a straight line.

Even as satellites and space stations continued to measure it,

I've received reports that it hasn't been attracted to any other stars.

In other words, the large planet has a density lower than gas.

In addition, Rambos told President Germa that he would be taking the Earth.

He didn't say he was blowing it to bits!

I see.

That means this was all a Waldastar trap!

I see it!

Unidentified objects approaching!

They're Waldastar saucer carriers!

And they came out of the planet!

Which means there's some trick to that planet!

Right! Photon cannons on standby!

Third gun platform struck by enemy photon cannon!

It's not working!

They'll destroy the Blue Earth! Andro, take care of things!

Roger!

My leg...

Damn.

The bone might be broken.

I'll tend to Jouji.

You pilot the ship!

Right! Time for our last gamble!

I'm going to see through Waldastar's little trick.

What?

We passed through the planet!

Look at that! I've figured out how the planet works.

That's dirty!

He used two projectors to create the image of a planet!

It was all to throw the Earth into chaos!

Damn!

The projection device was destroyed!

Stop projection here, too!

Attack the Blue Earth!

Curse you meddling Space Knights!

Help me, Rambos!

Well done, Hiromi!

Now the people of Earth can rest easy!

I did it! I got the Blue Earth!

The main engine was hit!

Damn, we're stranded.

It's the end of them here, too!

The Gorgos plan has failed, but killing the Space Knights will be success enough!

Right!

Where are you going, Jouji?

Hiromi! Andro! Keep fighting to the end!

Stop! You can't become Tekkaman in your condition!

Don't stop him. Let Jouji do as he will.

Pegas! Tek Setter!

Roger!

Go! Grind the Blue Earth into dust!

Ah! Wait!

It's Tekkaman!

You don't know when to quit!

Send out the small-scale saucers!

You're as pathetic as ever!

Keep sending out more!

He's coming this way!

Tek Lancer!

What's going on?!

The hangar's been destroyed!

Pull back! Pull back!

Damn! I'll finish off the Blue Earth, at least!

Hiromi! The missile!

Roger!

I'll try to evade using the support engines!

Hiromi! Can we make it in time?

This is the best I can do!

This is the end of them!

Well done! It looks like the missiles passed!

Rambos! Your missiles...!

Oh, no! Pull out!

Waldastar's far-reaching plan was foiled by the Space Knights.

But the evil Space Emperor Doblais is already formulating a new plan to invade Earth.

Crush the Waldastar's ambitions! Go forth, Tekkaman! The Space Knight!

The Plan to Destroy Humanity

The Plan to Destroy Humanity

Curiously, these bugs can speak to human children.

With few bugs left on Earth, they become popular among Earth's children.

But they turn out to be Waldastar machines meant to investigate Earth,

and, when the time is right, they become weapons that emit killer beams.

As humanity's destruction draws near, it comes down to Tekkaman's Voltekka.

Next time, on Space Knight Tekkaman:

The Plan to Destroy Humanity!

Tek Setter!

No flowers, no rainbows, no wind to blow

Hana mo niji mo kaze no nai

No tears to flow down our cheeks

Namida no hoho ni nagarenai

It's a cold, sad battle out here in space

Tsumetaku kanashii uchuu no tatakai da

And yet, my heart still burns

Dakedo kokoro wa moeteiru

It burns as hot as the sun!

Taiyou mitai ni moeteiru

The Space Knights are... (The Space Knights are...)

Space Knights wa (Space Knights wa)

The heroes of the sun!

Taiyou no yuusha
