Original subtitles

Somebody's wounded soul is

burning in the lonely sky.

And eyes that have never known love...

...seek the reason hidden in the dark.

#Gray_Phantom @ rizon

Tekkaman Blade

Just hold me close, and tell me how you feel.

As tears fall from your eyes for no reason

Love is endless violence... and this entire world...

...will be embraced by its last brilliance.

Ah... Who needs yesterday...

Despite the creation of the Space Knights unit...

...Noal's distrust of D-Boy has yet to be dispelled.

It is around this time that Tekkaman is mobilized to defeat...

...the "Devils of the Stratosphere", the Flying Radam Monsters...

...but he suddenly deserts the battle.

What has happened to Tekkaman?

To make matters worse, Aki is critically wounded rescuing D-Boy.

You're a dangerous boy after all.

Aki believed you were a comrade... now see what you've done to her!

KILL ME!

D-Boy, we're not blaming you.

We just want to clarify why you abandoned the battle.

This is just my personal opinion, but...

...does it have anything to do with the Tek System's performance?

Good afternoon, people.

Uh-oh, it's that bald geezer!

Shh! Keep your voice down!

I observed the last Tekkaman battle over the military's search radar.

From what I saw, even the great Tekkaman had a tough time with...

...the Devils of the Stratosphere, the Flying Radam Monsters.

Perhaps you should get to the point, sir.

It's nothing really urgent, but...

...there is some information I'd like to pass on to you people.

Specifically?

I'm sure you'll get...

...an official notice from the Outer Space Development Organization...

...later, but the Space Knights' next mission has been decided on.

Your goal will be total destruction of the Flying Radam Monsters' nest...

...the Radam Balloon.

Radam Balloon!

So long as these Flying Radam Monsters exist...

...we won't be able to counter Radam monsters falling from the Orbital Ring.

I fully expect you Space Knights to annihilate this Radam Balloon...

...the source of the Flying Radam Monsters!

And one more thing...

Should you fail this mission, it's also been decided that Tekkaman...

...no, the entire Space Knights Unit will...

...fall under the supervision of the Allied Defense Force.

No way!

You mean if the mission fails...

...Tekkaman will be confiscated by the Allied Defense Force?

But that's so underhanded of them!

I see, so they've already arranged this with the OSDO, eh?

Only the Allied Defense Force has...

...the ability to draw out Tekkaman's power to 120%.

Don't hold this against me, Freeman.

Good day, everyone. I wish you every success!

That concludes our mission briefing for Operation Radam Balloon Attack.

We'll start the operation tomorrow at 1200 hours.

D-Boy, hang in there, okay?

If the mission fails and I have to live apart from you...

...I'll just die of sorrow!

Confiscate Tekkaman, huh?

Couldn't ask for anything better, could we?

I'll bet Aki will be glad to hear of it, too!

Aki hasn't regained consciousness yet.

The medical staff is working on her to the best of their ability.

So for tomorrow's battle, Blue Earth's computer operator will be you, Milly.

Roger!

And one more thing...

In addition to repairing Blue Earth, I'd like you to equip her with weapons.

Sure thing! I can take care of that in three seconds!

That would be awesome! Once the Blue Earth is set up with weapons...

...Tekkaman can go right out the window!

That's not true!

He's right! Noal, you shouldn't be mouthing off like that!

What do you mean? Stop talking like you're half-asleep!

Jeez, who's responsible for Aki's suffering? Have you forgotten?

Scary...

Hey, D-Boy!

If Aki doesn't wake up from that coma...

I'm going to kill you!

You'll kill me?

All right, 5-minute break, guys. If you want to stop for lunch, do it fast!

Hey, Boss...

Give me 15 minutes, okay? I'll go give Noal a piece of my mind!

What, you mean about D-Boy?

You're darned right! There's no excuse for the way he spoke to him!

Leave him alone.

But...

Try to understand Noal's feelings, too.

Aki...

It's my fault...

It's all because of me...

Please forgive me!

D-Boy?

Milly, what's the matter?

I started thinking about tomorrow's attack and...

...I couldn't sleep. My heart was pounding, so I came out for some air.

I see.

D-Boy, don't take what Noal said to you too personally.

Okay.

This might be the last time we ever see the sky at night.

What?

Milly, if anything goes wrong, I want you to kill me.

What are you talking about, D-Boy?

I can only function as Tekkaman with a human soul for 30 minutes.

If I exceed that even for a single second...

...my Tek System will go out of control, and my mind will be possessed.

Then I'll turn into a demon who'll bring destruction to Earth and I'll never...

...return to my former self.

No... no way!

I can't believe you'd become an evil Tekkaman!

The moment my mind is taken over, I'll lose my ability to fight.

I'll be vulnerable in that instant.

If tomorrow's battle exceeds 30 minutes...

...tell Noal...

...tell Noal?

Tell him to kill me!

Confirming target. It will be coming into view soon.

Are you really going, D-Boy?

Yes...

D-Boy, if the battle drags on, then hurry...

Hey, D-Boy, I'm really counting on you to win this time.

D-Boy...

Tek-setter!

Tekkaman Blade!

Get out of my way!

Hey, come on! Outnumbering him like that... it's so unfair!

This was a reckless strategy after all!

If only the military's fighter planes would cover him...

Oh, God, please... let time stop!

Please protect D-Boy!

If this operation fails, that power of his will belong to us.

And even if they manage to succeed... having them eradicate those...

...Devils of the Stratosphere will only benefit the military.

Damn!

Noal, please, you've got to back up Tekkaman!

He's only going to come running back here again.

I'm taking a nice, long break until then.

Noal!

This isn't good!

Damn you, you're not dealing with the same Blue Earth as before!

Take that!

We did it!

Noal, please help Tekkaman...

You've got to save D-Boy!

Huh?

No...

I'm out of... I'm running out of time!

Out of time? What do you mean, he's out of time?

D-Boy told me last night.

Told you what?

D-Boy...

D-Boy said he would rather be killed by one of his comrades...

...than join the Radam!

Comrades?

If this keeps up, D-Boy's going to turn into an evil Tekkaman!

Damn him!

Milly, what time did Tekkaman Blade mobilize?

1230 hours!

Only three more minutes! Milly, better hang on tight!

Get out of my way!

D-Boy!

I owe you one, Noal!

Let's go, Tekkaman!

What's this?

What are those things?

So the Radam Balloon was the enemy's colony?

D-Boy! Hurry!

Voltekker!

He did it!

Noal, what time is it?

What the hell?

D-Boy!

The moment my mind is taken over, I'll lose my ability to fight.

I'll be vulnerable in that instant.

No! You can't kill D-Boy!

Out of my way!

If what he said is true and his mind is taken over...

...then D-Boy will become our enemy.

He'll become the gravest threat known to Earth.

Forgive me, D-Boy!

Dammit, I can't stand people who aren't punctual.

D-Boy!

Just as I thought, it's totally busted!

Take a good look at it before you go off complaining it's a defect!

Huh?

I'll bet you did something with it!

You gotta be kidding me!

Wait a second...

No, I used it... I used it like any other watch...

Don't give me that! It's inhuman not to take care of machines!

Sit down there so I can hit you with this wrench!

Come on, gimme a break!

Aki, I want you to be fully rested before you go back to work.

Roger...

I'm sorry for causing trouble for you.

I'm glad you're going to be fine. All the mechanics will be happy, too.

Aki is really popular with those mechanics.

Rebin, you're a little jealous, aren't you?

No, not really, because I have D-Boy, remember? Woo hoo!

Ugh! Rebin can be creepier than the Radam Balloon!

That's a good one!

Well, where are D-Boy and Noal, anyway?

Noal, I was sure you'd have no problem shooting me.

Of course I wouldn't.

I don't trust you.

When Tekkaman, no, you become Earth's enemy...

...I won't hesitate to kill you!

Well, I guess I'll have to get myself a good watch before then.

The moon's beautiful tonight.

I agree with you on that...

The moon's beautiful.

Tekkaman Blade, only death awaits a traitor like you!

Cold as ice... my motherland...

Tell me the reason for your sorrow.

Will there never be an end to this battle?

I don't need any sweet dreams right now.

Ah... I'm going to rip out the pages of

my memory until yesterday...

Ah... And search for the path beyond these tears.

Walking into a trap, D-Boy is suddenly unable to transform.

Left completely defenseless, Tekkaman Dagger appears...

...ready to avenge himself!
