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

Ten moons orbit Saturn, the planet of enormous rings.

A space lighthouse on one of its moons, Titan, is set to play a crucial role in space travel.

This lighthouse will finally be put into use after completing its year-long testing period.

The space lighthouse's specialist, Dr. Tsumura,

is returning to Earth with his family after a year away.

Papa, I'm all packed.

And this is our last look at this spectacular sight.

This year has felt so long and so short, hasn't it, dear?

I want to go home.

I wonder how Hiromi is doing.

Has she gotten prettier than me?

She's always been prettier than you.

Oh, Mama, what a mean thing to say!

Go!

The spaceship carrying the Tsumura family headed towards Earth.

All the while, the mysterious Micro Anteans were hiding in Yuriko's hair.

Go!

Initiate Operation: Micro!

The Micro Anteans

We can shrink as small as 0.002 microns,

enter the human brain, and control their nervous system!

But how will we infiltrate Earth and destroy the Space Center?

Just wait and see!

Yuriko! Welcome back!

Hiromi!

Yuri!

I've missed you!

I was so worried. I'm glad to see you're safe.

You've gotten even prettier!

I'm so jealous!

Ah!

Eh?

D-Dammit!

Why is there a Sannonite mutant here?

If it discovers us, our plan will fail!

It's fine. Don't worry.

It hasn't spotted us yet.

Just execute the plan!

I'm sorry to startle you.

This is Mootan. He's a Sannonite mutant. He can even talk!

I'm Mootan! It's a pleasure to meet you!

What is a Sannonite mutant doing here?

He was lost in space. We, the Space Knights, saved him.

Now he's a member of the Space Knights.

Now, Hiromi. Do help yourself.

It's Mama's home cooking!

Home cooking is wonderful.

I'm so jealous of you, Yuriko.

I hope this happiness can continue forever.

But I hear that attacks by the Stellar Rogue Cluster, Waldastar,

have grown worse this year.

Don't you worry.

As long as Tekkaman's here, the Earth is safe.

Yes, I've heard about Tekkaman's exploits.

Please, do your best to beat the Waldastar.

Isn't that amazing?

This is the Blue Earth?

Tekkaman is in there, right? I'd love to meet him!

I'm sorry, Yuriko. I can't let you meet Tekkaman.

Why not?

Well...

Hiromi.

You know we're not allowed to have untrustworthy people in this area.

Yuriko, untrustworthy?

She's my best friend!

How rude. Hiromi, who is this person?

He's not human!

We can't waste any time!

We must execute the plan tonight!

Lord Rambos, I have received word from the Earth Strike Force.

They'll begin their operation at 2400 hours tonight.

You Anteans don't waste time.

If this plan goes well, you will keep your promise, won't you?

Lord Doblais!

Anteans...

Yes, sir!

Once the Earth is ours, you will be allowed to build as many of your anthills on Earth as you wish.

Thank you, my emperor!

Anteans...

I wish to witness your saucer combination, famous throughout the cosmos.

Very well!

My emperor, how did you like it?

Our saucers can combine in this manner to grow very large.

We can make them as large as we like!

Splendid. Once the Space Center is destroyed, they will be rendered helpless.

Tekkaman's technology is inside that robot!

Good. Let's destroy it with a time bomb!

Hey. Hold it.

A-Andro...

You got careless, Microneans.

I'm a Sannonite.

Did you forget that our blood starts to boil when we're in your vicinity?

Now, aliens controlling Yuriko... Reveal yourselves!

Silence. The likes of you will never stop us!

Hey, wait!

Very well...

Damn it!

Die! Die with the aliens inside you!

Andro! What are you doing?

This woman was trying to blow up Pegas.

Stop it!

Andro!

What are you doing? I need to kill this woman!

Stop it!

What are you doing?

She's being controlled by aliens, trying to destroy the Blue Earth!

Jouji, you want to let a woman like that go?

I-It can't be...

Yuriko, controlled by aliens?

Now that you know, you'd better kill her.

If you don't, something terrible will happen.

Understand, Jouji?

I won't do it.

What was that?

Until we know more about the aliens that are possessing Yuriko,

we can't do as you say.

Fine, fine. I hear you.

I'll leave it to you.

But let me warn you about one thing, Jouji.

This woman is under alien control.

If you don't kill her, she'll try something else.

When she does, it won't be my responsibility.

I understand. We'll run a series of tests on Yuriko right away.

Let's take her, quickly.

Hey. Speak to me!

Talk to us!

Abnormality located. Abnormality located.

W-What is this?

Just as I thought. Anteans.

Anteans?

They're a very advanced species that inhabit the Mikaza system in the Pleatic star cluster!

Micro Anteans...

They're controlling Yuriko's nervous system.

Yuriko...

What's going to happen to Yuriko?

We'll have to kill her along with the Micro Anteans.

No!

Their science is nothing to trifle with, okay?

They're almost assuredly plotting something else.

Don't tell me...

These Micro Anteans are working with the Waldastar to conquer Earth?

Doctor, to remove the Anteans from Yuriko's brain...

Yes. It's not possible with our current technology.

And if you try brain surgery, they'll kill Yuriko. I guarantee it.

Don't cry. We should try the surgery.

Even if it kills Yuriko, if it will halt their plans...

If it will save the Earth...

No! I refuse!

I can't let Yuriko die!

Ma'am!

Hiromi! Let her go.

Give her time to herself.

Mother... Mother...

What's happening to me?

Yuriko...

It hurts!

Have I done something wrong?

Yuriko...

Mother... set me free!

My arms and legs hurt.

It hurts!

Take them off!

Yuriko...

Mother, please! Take them off!

Yes! Keep it up!

We're almost free!

Mother, please! It hurts!

Take off these restraints!

Yuriko... no.

I can't.

I can't set you free.

Why not?

Anteans, please. Spare my daughter's life.

Use my body instead.

Spare Yuriko and take me.

Please. Spare Yuriko and take me.

Hey! If we take her over, we can move freely!

Hurry!

Serves you right!

Mootan! Well done!

Mother.

Yuriko!

Mother!

Yuriko!

I'm so glad you're safe, Yuriko.

You'll regret not killing her soon enough.

What?

A security guard is acting strangely. All sections take emergency precautions.

The green fluid released from Yuriko's fingertips

had the power to cause humans to go berserk.

Thus, the circle of infected humans expanded,

and destructive attacks started taking place all across the Space Center.

The 3rd Control Tower is burning. A tanker's crashed into the power station.

We must find a way to stop this at once.

If this continues, the Space Center will be destroyed from within!

I've analyzed their blood.

The pathogen is not of this Earth!

It will take some time to analyze.

This is a disaster.

That's why I told you to finish her off.

What's going to happen to Earth if the Waldastar attack now?

Unidentified flying objects spotted.

They're approaching Earth!

What? Very well. Switch to TV view!

The Waldastar!

Blue Earth, move out!

Roger! Move out!

Hey, wait.

Hiromi and Mootan aren't here.

Hiromi is treating the injured in the Space Center.

We can't wait for her.

That's it! What was I thinking?

Why didn't I realize it earlier?

Realize what?

Director. Director Amachi.

What is it, Andro?

Director, Microneans have appeared on Sanno before.

But they've never tried to infect Sannonites with their pathogen.

It's because they knew it was impossible to infect us.

On Sanno, there's a plant known as Kram that cures their pathogen.

Kram is eaten by animals like Mootan.

I see. Then there might be a cure in Mootan's blood?

Take some blood from Mootan and it should work.

Thank you. We'll try it at once.

You two do something to stop the Waldastar.

Roger!

Oh, no! I hate needles!

Don't be like that. Please!

You could save so many people!

But you're going to take all of my blood, aren't you?

Don't you worry. We'll only take a little bit.

Come along.

Ow!

Here they come.

Andro, don't let down your guard.

Careless fools!

Anteans! Where are the Anteans?

Anteans, move out!

Destroy the Space Knights!

Yes, sir!

What's that?

Getting bigger just makes you an easier target!

Dammit!

It's as if it's made of sand.

We couldn't possibly beat them in a straight fight.

Andro, take the controls.

Pegas!

Roger.

Pegas! Tek Setter!

Tek Lancer!

Blast it! He's coming at us again!

Change to the saucer sandstorm strategy!

Wait.

That gave even Tekkaman a shock!

Now, Anteans!

Smash Tekkaman to bits!

Voltekka!

Beam Break!

W-What's wrong?

I don't know! We're being pulled in by a powerful gravitational force!

Voltek Set Return!

W-What was that weapon?

Rambos!

Do forgive me, Lord Doblais! I beg you to forgive me!

I swear, I swear, I swear, next time I will succeed!

I won't fail next time!

Yes, I already have a plan in mind!

I'll be fine next time!

I am too weary to respond.

Forgive me! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Darn it. What am I going to do about Tekkaman?

Director, we drove back the Waldastar.

Well done.

So? How did things go here?

Don't worry. We put Mootan's blood into the rapid cultivator to create a serum.

We produced large quantities and gave it to the infected. They've recovered.

Really? I'm glad.

The actions of the Space Knights vanquished the Micro Anteans.

But what plan will Rambos of the Waldastar next bring to bear?

Bearing the fate of the Earth... Go, Tekkaman! The Space Knight!

Space Knight Tekkaman

The Great Space Bird Hiyokudar

The Waldastar have invented an Anti-Tek machine to disrupt Tekkaman's functions.

When Tekkaman is hit by those waves, his body goes numb, and he can't move.

Rambos, seeing his chance, sends out Hiyokudar, a giant combining space bird,

to wreck havoc on Earth.

How will Tekkaman fight both the Anti-Tek machine and Hiyokudar?

Next time, on Space Knight Tekkaman:

The Great Space Bird Hiyokudar!

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
