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...

After evolving into Tekkaman Blaster, D-Boy appears...

...to have overcome the tissue breakdown.

However...

Hey, D-Boy.

Hey, Aki, don't make me say the same thing over and over again.

Well, but it's hard to change so suddenly...

...since I've been calling you D-Boy for such a long time.

You've been calling me D-Boy?

What?

Why were you calling me D-Boy?

What's wrong, all of a sudden?

I mean, what the heck does "D-Boy" mean, anyway?

D-Boy...

So what's happening to D-Boy's body now?

His memory has been impaired.

He even doesn't know that we call him D-Boy.

No...

D-Boy is suffering from memory loss as a side-effect of his evolution.

And when Evil, newly powered-up, attacks again...

...D-Boy faces him without realizing what's happening.

Farewell, Blade!

COLLISION! THE RED NEMESIS

Goddamn you!

We haven't fought in a long time... not since Miyuki died, I think.

Shinya!

I've been looking forward to battling you again. Can you evade my moves?

The way Evil's moving... it's not the same as before.

He's a completely different person!

What's taking Noal and Balzak?

Chief! Speed, power, reflexes...

Compared to his earlier stats, Evil has improved most abilities by 30%.

Does that mean Evil's turned into an evolved Tekkaman, like D-Boy?

Not exactly. Evolving into Tekkaman Blaster wouldn't change a...

...Tekkaman's normal fighting capacity.

Then, why?

Perhaps it's the result of his having trained himself to the utmost.

He hasn't been around for a while... so that's what he's been up to!

How long do you plan to hide yourself in that hole, Takaya?

I hope you don't think I'm the same as I was before, Big Brother.

What's the matter, Takaya? The battle has only just begun!

What?

Damned pieces of junk!

Don't go, D-Boy!

What?

Just leave it to Noal now.

What's going on? Where do you think you're aiming?

You mean you can't tell?

What the...

So you escaped, Blade?

It doesn't matter.

Now you understand that I'm not inferior anymore, don't you?

I'll just wait for you to come out of your hiding place.

Why are you stopping me? I've got to fight Evil!

If you keep transforming into Tekkaman, you'll lose your memory!

Memory? What do you mean?

D-Boy...

My name is Takaya Aiba. How many times do I have to tell you?

You see?

You don't even remember your own nickname!

Aki, is something wrong with me?

I think you guys have the wrong idea.

D-Boy...

I'm... I'm going to destroy Evil!

Hey, wait!

He isn't aware of what's happening to him.

But it'll be too late by the time he realizes the truth. Too late...

You've done a fine job, Sword.

Thank you, sir. All Radam monsters will have landed on Earth soon.

Our preparations are now complete.

Now all we have to do is wait for this mothership to launch...

...and then Earth will belong to us, the Radam!

Are you not pleased?

Yes...

Evil is nowhere in sight...

He's gone to destroy Blade alone.

What?

It is only his hatred towards us that drives Blade to fight now.

He cannot be underestimated!

Why haven't you joined Evil in battle, Sword?

Because I did not receive such an order from you, my lord.

You haven't changed one bit. All right, I'm ordering you now.

Join Evil in destroying the traitor, Blade!

Yes, my lord.

Shinya always loses his composure when it comes to Takaya.

But I can't move because I'm assimilated with the mothership.

Feng, I'm asking you to look after my brother.

I don't want to lose either of you.

Lord Omega...

Kengo...

Kengo always watched over me...

...no matter what.

I can't move because I'm assimilated with the mothership.

It's my turn to protect Kengo... I mean Lord Omega, regardless of...

...who he's become!

Big Brother, intermission is over now!

Time to start the second round!

D-Boy, we told you it's no good!

Get out of my way! I've got to destroy Evil!

He hasn't launched an attack. Don't initiate the fight yourself.

I can hear him calling out to me!

Hey!

I need to talk to you.

Look, D-Boy...

D... Boy...

Oh, right, that's the nickname you guys gave me, isn't it?

D-Boy, I'm not going to try to stop you, since I know I can't.

But don't ever forget the name "D-Boy"...if only for Aki's sake.

Sure, your name is Takaya Aiba. But...

Aki and the others have been battling the Radam with you as D-Boy.

It might not mean anything to you now.

But for Aki, it's a precious name, something that connects her to you.

Just remember that.

But I have no right to say this, since I left my own girl behind. See you!

Balzak...

I've come to meet you, Big Brother.

Evil!

Chief, he's going to penetrate the base!

Sol Tekkamen... mobilize!

Freeman, D-Boy's gone...

Chief, Pegas has mobilized!

D-Boy...

Are you here?

Where's Blade?

I see you're disappointed that it's only us.

Of course I am.

That's what you think! We're gonna take you out like we did last time!

You little rust-buckets!

What the...

That bastard!

Balzak!

Goddammit! Where are you? Show yourself!

What the...

Since I can't seem to get through to you with words, I'll have to...

...teach you at the cost of your lives!

Psi-Vol...

Tekkaman Blade!

Evil!

I've been waiting, Blade!

Ouch... unbelievable power!

I thought I was a goner!

D-Boy!

Why did you come?

There's no way that the Sol Tekkamen can defeat this one!

Anyway, just let me handle this!

They must be up ahead.

We used to spar like this when we were kids, right, Big Brother?

Shinya...

I could never beat you back then...

But look at me now, driving you right into a corner!

I can't believe I struggled against you...

...or is it just that I've gotten too powerful?

Goddammit!

I always run out at the wrong time!

To be killed with your own weapon...

Is that not the most fitting death for a traitor?

I'll let you have the same fate as Miyuki!

Now I can finally surpass you... Big Brother Takaya!

Psi-Voltekker!

D-Boy!

What the...

What's going on?

Is he transforming?

Evil!

Impossible!

What's that?

Voltekker!

What the...

Chief, D-Boy just woke up.

Milly...

Thank goodness!

I'm sorry...

It's my fault... I shouldn't have.

These flowers are beautiful.

What?

Just looking at these flowers gives me peace of mind, somehow.

D-Boy...

Aki, what are these flowers called?

Don't you remember?

They're Miyuki's...

Miyuki's?

They're called amaryllis.

Amaryllis...

They were Miyuki's favorite flowers.

Miyuki's...

How do you know what Miyuki's favorite flower was, Aki?

Because you told me.

What?

If you keep transforming into Tekkaman, you'll lose your memory!

I...

That's right.

Your body was saved from internal collapse by evolving to Blaster Mode...

But the damage is now concentrated in your brain. Because of paralysis...

...of the nuclei of your nerve cells, you're starting to lose your memory.

Hey, everybody, we've finished restoring the Blue Earth!

The Blue Earth?

Don't tell me you forgot about...

The Blue Earth...

D-Boy...

I...

I...

Big Brother Kengo, you know that Blade has been reborn...

...as a new Tekkaman, don't you?

A new Tekkaman?

Surely you don't mean that Blade is now an evolved Tekkaman!

An evolved Tekkaman?

That's right.

Your current Tekkaman form is not the final version...

...rather, it's just one stage of evolution.

That means I can evolve too, doesn't it?

Please tell me how, Big Brother!

That I cannot do.

But why not, Big Brother?

It will take an unimaginable level of physical and spiritual strength...

...to become an evolved Tekkaman.

Moreover, successfully evolving will shorten your life.

You don't have to attack Blade... he'll perish soon on his own.

That's why I have to kill him now! I want to destroy Blade while he's alive!

If Blade's evolved, then I want to evolve, too!

You're just saying that I'm inferior to Takaya, aren't you?

No, I'm not!

In that case, you've got to let me try!

I don't care if the success rate is only 1%!

As long as I can destroy Takaya...

I said no, and that's final!

But why? Tell me why, Big Brother!

Stop it, Shinya.

Big Brother! Please, Big Brother Kengo!

Big Brother!

Big Brother Kengo! Let me out!

I don't care if I die!

I don't want it to end before I can defeat Blade... not anymore!

Big Brother Kengo! Listen to me, please!

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.

The operation to take back the Orbital Ring has begun.

But D-Boy, unable to transform because of amnesia, finds...

...himself face to face with the Radam Mother.
