Somebody's wounded soul is

burning in the lonely sky.

And eyes that have never known love...

...seek the reason hidden in the dark.

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...

In the year 192 according to the Allied Earth Calendar...

...mankind is on the brink of extinction.

The Orbital Ring was built to realize mankind's dream of...

...venturing to other planets, but it has been occupied...

...by mysterious alien life-forms called the Radam.

Trapped on the ground, mankind has...

...no way of avoiding the attacks from the Orbital Ring.

The land has been gutted, and cities have been destroyed.

Earth is steadily heading toward ruin.

LULLABY ECHOING IN THE BATTLEFIELD

Take that!

Go to hell!

Make sure you survive!

Once you beat back these monsters...

...I'm going to treat to you some top-quality Irish whisky as usual!

We've received word that the Allied Defense Force's...

...European 4th Special Squadron infiltrated the Orbital Elevator...

...but has been isolated by a Radam attack.

The plan was for the Special Squad to pass through the Orbital Elevator...

...connecting Earth with the Orbital Ring, and recover a high-speed craft.

So they just wandered in on foot to grab a spaceship, huh?

But that's reckless beyond belief. It's been occupied by the Radam!

And so now they've come running to us...

...begging the Space Knights to rescue the Special Squadron?

D-Boy, you don't look very happy about this.

I have no intention of defying your orders, but...

The military is rotten to the core. I don't feel like cleaning up their mess.

That's all...

Ever since that incident with the transport spaceships from Jupiter...

...D-Boy seems to hate the military more than ever.

Well, I do know where he's coming from.

Okay, now let's take a shot of you two together!

Okay!

Pegas, don't move, all right?

Roger!

So its artificial intelligence system gives it the ability to talk, huh?

Of course! Thanks to my design, I might add!

Don't forget to stress that fact in your article.

Okay, once my report gets out, you'll be an overnight star, Rebin!

No way! That sounds fantastic!

Hey, guys...

If you hang around here, you'll get burned to ashes by jet exhaust!

Hey, hold on a minute!

Blue Earth... launch!

We'll be arriving at our destination in 120 seconds.

The little grunts are welcoming us!

Damn!

The vertical fin is damaged!

Jeez, just our luck!

Noal, we've got to do something, or we'll be shot down.

You two head back to base! I'll carry out this mission!

How the hell can we leave without you?

It would be cool if I could say that...

...but under the circumstances, I'll accept your kind offer.

But Noal...

It's all right. I never expected a noble line from Noal in the first place.

Good answer, D-Boy.

I see you're finally starting to understand what kind of guy I am.

I'm sure there are viable sections of the Orbital Elevator.

I'll make my descent with the military personnel through the elevator.

All right, but be careful!

Pegas... Tek-setter!

Roger!

Tekkaman Blade!

Pegas, search for signs of any life-forms.

Roger!

Stop right there!

Huh, so you're Tekkaman Blade?

I've never seen you up close before.

I'm Barnard O'Toole, a sergeant with the...

...4th Special Squadron of the Allied Defense Forces' European Zone.

First of all, why don't we welcome you with a toast?

Now detecting signs of life.

Whoa...

My name is D-Boy. I'm a member of the Space Knights.

Well, who would've thought that the famous Tekkaman Blade was...

...just a kid too young to have tasted his first drink!

Hey, kid, if you can't drink yet, then you haven't done it yet either, huh?

Don't mess with me! I came here to rescue you people!

And only because your colleagues begged me to!

Who asked you to rescue us?

What?

The Orbital Elevator is still working. We're going to keep going up!

So you can just head home on your own, kiddo.

Hey, let's just forget about this kid, and cleanse our souls! All right?

Right!

Just a minute! I'm taking you back to Earth no matter what it takes!

No matter what it takes?

What do you say? How about we settle this one-on-one?

If you win, I'll do whatever you say.

One-on-one?

But we're gonna do it our way, got that?

Good stuff!

If you get plastered before I do, you lose, kiddo!

And you'll have to do whatever I say... that robot, too!

What's the matter, kid, are you afraid?

Hey...

I hate the way you people in the military do things!

Is that so?

You'll stop at nothing to get what you want!

To keep your operations going, you use people like they're expendable!

You're really naive, kid. That's what war is all about.

Have you ever stopped to think about everyone who died?

As if we had the time... we've got our hands full just trying to survive!

Is that the way...

...the military does things?

Good! Come on, tie the kid to that robot.

Tekkaman Blade...

I'm going to put you to work for us!

Hey, you... why don't you sing us a song?

I have no such data in my system.

You're really a bore!

Then I'll teach you... so listen up!

Roger!

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling.

From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.

Where are we?

Oh, so you're awake, kiddo?

What do you think you're doing?

What are we doing? Hey, don't tell me you've forgotten your promise!

Kiddo, since you lost, you have to do whatever I say, remember?

That's why I decided to let you give us a hand.

And you call yourself a soldier?

Yes, because there's something I have to do.

Something I have to do...

Pegas... Tek-setter!

Roger!

All we have to do is get through here to reach the ship's hangar!

We're counting on you, kid.

So they're going to proceed with the operation despite the Radam...

Here they come!

Go to hell!

Whoa...

Good, let's charge into the hangar! I'm counting on you!

Roger!

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling.

From glen to glen...

Oscar, I brought you some whisky from your hometown.

Enjoy it up there in heaven, okay?

...and down the mountain side...

The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying...

James, these are your favorites. Now you have plenty!

James, your fiancee is about to be married.

This time she's marrying someone with no ties to the military.

That you, kid?

Are all these men your comrades?

It happened a year ago.

The 4th Special Squadron...

...we came here to recover our high-speed spaceships.

And we got this far, but then we were attacked by the Radam.

In the end, I was the only who survived.

This is what I got for my trouble.

So this is what you meant by "something you had to do"?

Listen, kid...

I have some advice for you if you're planning to make battle your career.

No matter what your boss may say...

...it's soldiers like us who fight on the battlefield.

And if you die, nothing will matter anymore.

The most important thing is to survive!

To come back alive so you can protect the lives of your comrades.

That's the law of the battlefield!

That's my advice to you as a soldier... no, as just an ordinary old man.

Sergeant Barnard!

You called me by my name for the first time, kiddo.

Here they come!

I'll take care of this, Sergeant! I'll hold them until you get the ships started!

Stay alive, kid!

You, too, Sergeant!

Everyone on board!

There'll be wine and women to welcome you if you make it back alive!

Take that!

No. 1 Ship, stand by!

No. 2 Ship, stand by!

All right, then, launch!

No, Sergeant, after you, sir!

Are you an idiot?

The captain always leaves last, that's how it's done!

You little grunts gotta go first!

Setup complete!

Good.

Hey, guys. Next time I come here I'll be sure to collect your bones.

So sit tight, okay?

Go!

Yeah!

Holy crap!

If this keeps up, we're going to collide!

Sergeant!

Voltekker!

All right!

Hey, nobody jumped the gun and got themselves killed, right?

No, sir, everyone's alive because we can't wait for the women and wine!

We're just about to enter the atmosphere!

I'm coming back with the kid.

Hey, kid! Don't let go until we land safely on Earth!

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling.

From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.

The summer's gone...

...and all the flowers are dying...

Hey, what's going on here?

Well, Pegas's singing isn't bad at all!

No way! I can't believe someone input a lame song that like into Pegas!

Now I have to erase it!

Rebin, would you mind just leaving it as it is?

Huh? Well, of course I'll do anything you want, D-Boy, but...

Hey, D-Boy, did something good happen to you?

No, not really.

D-Boy, the Chief wants to see you.

Sounds like another mission from the Allied Defense Forces.

Pretty annoying, huh?

All right.

Hey, what's this? Is his military allergy gone all of a sudden?

Who knows?

Sergeant, I'll never forget what you taught me... the law of the battlefield.

The kid had a good look in his eyes. Eyes that have already seen hell...

I'll see you on another battlefield, D-Boy!

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.

It is the year 192 by the Allied Defense Calendar.

The young man who fell from the sky is called D-Boy.

And now his top secret file will be exposed...
