Tekkaman Blade

My fingertips are stained with blood

and nothing can stop them...

...until the day it's over, once and for all.

Destiny gone mad...

Even though I've stumbled into this eternal loneliness...

...somewhere deep down inside I can smile.

Only this battle can set me free.

Now that I no longer have anything more to lose...

...I'm never going to give up the chase

and I'll reclaim the future for myself.

I know that my soul

will find its way back to this planet someday.

Until the day this body of mine

finally shatters into pieces...

D-Boy remains unconscious after upgrading to Blaster Mode.

Even though more than 24 hours have passed...

How long will the powers that be make D-Boy suffer through these ordeals?

How long will he have to keep up this grueling fight?

If you succeed in upgrading to Blaster Mode, you'll only survive for 6...

...no, 3 months is more like it.

I don't care! I've got to keep fighting!

If that does come to pass, I... what in the world will I...

That's right...

Now that I think of it... it all began that day.

The day he fell out of the sky as a burst of light...

That was when it started...

UNITED IN LOVE AND BATTLE

No way am I gonna die now!

It's not... it's not time for me to die yet!

What was that?

As members of the OSDO, Noal and I...

...had gone to Texas to research the distribution patterns of Radam trees.

Mankind had become utterly powerless...

...before the sudden attack by the Radam invaders.

Cities were laid to waste, and people had begun to lose all hope.

It was to this world of desolation that he arrived from the sky.

We had no way of knowing that this encounter would be a godsend...

The boy who fell out of the sky...

He could not recall his name or anything from his past...

The rest of us started calling him by the nickname "D-Boy."

According to him, the life-forms attacking Earth were called "Radam"...

...and as he finally began speaking, we made many...

...shocking discoveries about them.

We found ourselves unable to accept everything he told us as fact.

Still, I wasn't convinced that he was lying.

And that's because D-Boy transformed into Tekkaman Blade before our eyes.

Tekkaman Blade!

Here I come, Radam!

We tried to accept D-Boy, who fought the Radam so stoically...

...as one of our teammates.

But D-Boy brushed away all our attempts to help him...

...and continued to thrust himself into battle alone.

Hey! D-Boy!

D-Boy! D-Boy!

You've got to get out of here! I'm the only one who can fight him!

D-Boy!

It's no use, Aki.

Hey, D-Boy!

This doesn't mean that I trust you, got that?

I believe in him, though.

Aki... I believe in him, though.

D-Boy! Be sure to come back later!

You're coming back to Earth with us! No matter what!

Why?

Why...

...why?

Why would he so stubbornly refuse any help from us?

Why wouldn't he try to believe in us as his teammates?

The answers gradually became clear during the course of battle.

The terrible truth is that all of the Tekkamen on the Radam's side are...

...either D-Boy's friends or members of his family.

I haven't heard that name in while. But that's all in the past...

Isn't that right, Blade?

So you're alive... Fritz!

I don't go down so easily.

You're the one who's history! You're a traitor, Blade!

Dagger!

Tek-setter!

Tekkaman Dagger!

Not only that, but perhaps the most powerful of them all...

...Tekkaman Evil, is D-Boy's twin brother, Shinya.

Evil...

It's been a long time, Big Brother Takaya.

D-Boy!

There are two D-Boys?

Pegas! Protect Aki!

Roger!

D-Boy!

So that's your fellow Space Knight. What a lovely young woman.

Not to mention, she looks a little like our deceased mother!

Don't you agree, Big Brother?

Big Brother? Don't tell me...

Are D-Boy and Tekkaman Evil brothers?

Tek-setter!

How could fate be so cruel to him?

Former friends, blood relatives... fighting as enemies...

And this is a battle D-Boy can't afford to lose.

Because if he does lose, then...

...that will mean the end for all of mankind.

You and I are twins. What was once one... split into two separate beings.

Whoever wins this battle should be the one to live on...

...if one of us survives, that is!

What in the world can we do to help D-Boy?

What can we do?

We...

Am I really seeing D-Boy as just a teammate?

I'm starting to become aware of this vague thought spreading...

...throughout my mind.

When did I first realize how I truly felt about D-Boy?

It was when he lost the ability to fight, and was taken by the military.

Stop it!

Stop it!

D-Boy!

D-Boy...

Pull yourself together, D-Boy!

Stop it!

I don't...

I don't want to kill anybody!

You...

D-Boy had withdrawn mentally, afraid of losing all control.

When I saw him in that state with my own eyes, I hesitated.

Just what had I seen in him up until that moment?

The young man before me was just a weak human being...

...trembling from fear.

And it was then that I realized...

...I'd fallen hopelessly in love with D-Boy, even in such a state.

You're our only... you're our only...

...the only teammate that we can depend on now!

D-Boy!

Please, give your 30 minutes to me!

Even if you turn into a demon... even at the moment you kill me...

...I'll still believe in you!

So...

So please, give your 30 minutes...

...give them to me!

Aki...

Aki!

Damn you, Radam!

I'm not... I'm not a demon at all!

You're the demons!

Voltekker!

I'll never let you take over Earth...

...as long as I live, and those who believe in me live!

You're not a demon!

You're a human being.

You're a human, just like the rest of us!

D-Boy, don't ever forget that!

At last, D-Boy began to open up as a member of the Space Knights...

...and as our teammate.

But those tranquil moments, as well as my girlish affection for him...

...all were to vanish in the instant after...

...Evil came to battle Miyuki, their younger sister.

If they are fighting each other, it must be a trap to lure me... or else...

No, it can't be!

Big Brother!

It can't be...

Big Brother!

Big Brother!

Miyuki!

Go to hell, Rapier!

Miyuki!

Rapier, out of mercy I'm going to destroy you myself.

You shall die as a Tekkaman!

Big Brother!

Evil!

Big Brother!

Oh, so now you've decided to show your face?

High-coat Voltekker!

What the...

A brother and sister, reunited at long last.

But this proved to be only the prelude to more suffering for D-Boy.

Big Brother!

Miyuki!

Miyuki!

Miyuki!

Miyuki!

Miyuki!

An incomplete Tekkaman who managed to hold onto her...

...human soul, just like D-Boy... this was Miyuki, or Tekkaman Rapier.

She did not have much longer to live...

And as if to add insult to the grieving D-Boy's injury...

...Evil then unleashed a lethal attack on the Space Knights' Base.

No, Miyuki!

Aki, let me go.

No! You shouldn't be up now.

Forgive me, Aki.

I won't let you kill them...

Just when we thought it was all over, Miyuki sacrificed...

...her own life by transforming into Rapier.

To protect the rest of us, she used up her last ounce of life...

I'm going to protect them... Aki and my brother's teammates...

Forgive me, Big Brother!

Tek-Setter!

Please don't die, Miyuki!

Go to hell!

I won't let you kill them...

Don't you want this pain to stop?

I won't let you kill them!

Miyuki!

I won't let you kill them!

Miyuki!

Blade!

Miyuki!

I won't let you kill them...

Big Brother Takaya...

The Space Knights, Miyuki, and even D-Boy...

...all vanished in a vortex of light.

But the battle with the Radam continues.

Those of us who survived had no time to grieve...

...we set off on a journey around the world in a land carrier...

...studying Radam trees and searching for a spaceship that would get...

...us to the Radam base on the moon.

And I believed in my heart that D-Boy was still alive somewhere.

I could sense that everyone else had started to give up on D-Boy.

But I still believed...

...that D-Boy was still alive. And he would one day reappear...

...as if nothing had happened.

That was the one thing I believed...

...I had to believe it, or else I couldn't have survived, I suppose.

And the day soon arrived, without warning.

Excuse me, Milly. You call these vegetables sliced?

Well, what about you? Don't you dare hide those carrots!

But I really hate carrots!

Hey! Is that chicken? You know I can't stand chicken!

D-Boy...

Aki...

Welcome home.

D-Boy!

D-Boy and I were reunited at last.

But the Radam showed no signs of slowing down their invasion.

Constantly battling Radam to the death had taken a heavy toll on...

...D-Boy's mind and body.

I never wanted this power. I wish I'd never changed into what I am now!

Even so, Master Takaya... I can't allow you to go to the moon...

I can't hand over this crystal to you!

Goddard!

This is for Lord Evil... I'm going to kill you!

Axe! Goddamn you!

Go to hell, Blade!

But that's...

Out of the way! Run, my boy!

Farewell, Goddard!

Fate had now begun to afflict D-Boy's body as well.

Tissue breakdown... and now, this Blaster Mode.

Is there nothing I can do for D-Boy as he uses...

...the last 6 months of his life to keep fighting...

...except watch, and pray for him? And...

When the time comes, what on Earth will I do?

But until that day does come... no...

When that day does come, even if he draws his last breath...

...I will continue to pray for him, and continue to love him.

Because for this boy, who fell out of the sky like a shooting star...

...there's nothing else I can do.

In a dream I had last night, I saw your smiling face.

But when I opened my eyes,

it was still the same as yesterday.

Forgetting what kindness is, I close off my heart.

All the pain and hatred raining down day after day.

D-Boy has been reborn as Tekkaman Blaster.

But as if to cruelly smash this brief interlude of bliss...

...the footsteps of destruction come closer.
