Voltes Five, we bet everything on you.

We'll do it! Until our strength is used up.

chikyuu no yoake wa mou chikai

The dawning of the earth is near...

What's that?

Spread the barrier!

"The Destruction of Big Falcon."

Calling Big Falcon! Calling Big Falcon! This is Earth Defense Headquarters!

What?! A surprise attack!? Was it a beast fighter?

No sir! A fleet of enemy saucers! Our warships have been destroyed!

The deputy commander was killed during the attack!

The deputy commander!?

General Oka, you must get back here and take command!

We might sustain more casualties without someone in charge to follow!

Father, you must go back to Earth Defense Headquarters!

Voltes V will back you up!

Wait, this might be part of the enemy's plan. Earth Defense Headquarters can handle this

They also might attack Big Falcon, so be on your guard and take battle stations!

I'll try to get back there as soon as possible.

Yes sir.

Very well, I'll be counting on you.

Don't worry, general. We'll hold the fort until you get back.

That's right. We can handle it here.

We'll do our best. You can count on us.

Good, that's the spirit.

Kenichi, are you thinking about your father again?

No, I'm just thinking up some possible defense tactics to use while General Oka's away.

Don't lie to me. You immediately thought of your dad when you heard about the attack.

Please don't worry too much.

Well, was I right, Kenichi?

Very perceptive of you, Megumi.

The enemy’s here!

Sound the alarm!

Why didn't you warn us about the enemy? Have you been sleeping on the job?

Don't blame him, Ippei.

The enemy might have been using a cloaking device. Let's go!

Give me a damage report!

This is the computer room.

Well?

The main computer has just been destroyed!

What?

Our main computer?!

Yes. The barrier wasn't spread in time to fend off the attack.

The barrier isn't working. We must use our fighter jets to defend Big Falcon!

Computer room! Computer room!

Big Falcon is under attack! What's wrong with the barrier?

Calling power control, this is the command unit. What's wrong?

We're not getting enough power!

We need more energy to activate defenses!

Command unit! Command unit! Please respond!

Nobody's answering up there! Why?

The enemy must have hit it!

The Voltes Team is ready to deploy. We must get the hangar doors open.

The reactor's blown! Big Falcon might explode!

Everyone, take cover!

Command unit, please respond. We're ready to take off. Open the hangar doors!

What's the matter? Main computer room! Open the hangar doors!

Main computer room! Computer room!

Megumi, this is no use. We have no time. We have to blast our way out of this!

We'll destroy the doors!? All right, let's do as Ippei suggested!

OPEN FIRE!!!

FRIGATE MISSILES!!!

BLAST OFF!!!

Big Falcon...

Shit. They're all over us!

Look out!

V-TOGETHER!!!

LET'S VOLT IN!!!

VOLTES V!!!

They won't get away with this!

VOLTES BAZOOKA!!!

Voltes V has finally shown up, but much too late.

General Oka took charge of Big Falcon after Professor Hamaguchi died.

He is incapable of taking over.

One general can't possibly take charge of two armies. Either one must falter!

Correct.

Without a person in charge, Big Falcon can easily be destroyed.

The people there at Big Falcon are panicking.

Voltes V is on his own.

The barrier is down and the base is wide open for attack.

Without the barrier, their base is vulnerable. Victory is ours!

Correct. We were able to lure General Oka out of Big Falcon.

We can now intensify the attack with our beast fighters.

Yes sir. We'll surely destroy Big Falcon now.

Don't blame yourselves. It was my fault for leaving Big Falcon with no one in charge.

We must now find someone to be the head of Big Falcon.

You're at a disadvantage without a leader.

General Oka.

Very well.

It's really tough without a person in charge. It becomes more overwhelming.

The Voltes Team also needs a commander to guide it through tough situations.

Professor Hamaguchi was a big loss.

We also suffered a lot of damage from the last attack. Our main computer was destroyed.

Yes General, we're doing our best.

The main computer controls your defenses at Big Falcon. Without it, you're vulnerable.

Father, can’t you come here?

We still have to do some damage control here. Once we're done, I'll be right over.

In the mean time, Voltes Team, be on your guard.

Yes sir!

We fixed some parts of the energy circuit, but we still have to make adjustments.

You must finish them at once!

We're safe for now, but for how long?

There's still one part that we can't fix.

Don't we have spare parts for that?

The magnetic circuit will take 2-3 hours to fix. It's a complex component.

2-3 hours!?

Can't you fix the barrier any sooner?

Can’t you do it in less time?

I can't say. There's a million bolts to adjust and just as many circuits to reconnect.

Try to minimize the time.

I hope the enemy doesn't come back too soon.

ENEMY APPROACHING!!! ENEMY APPROACHING!!!

Distract the beast fighter with the Big Missile, then we'll go and attack.

Yes sir.

Mobilize the Superelectromagnetic Cannon.

Yes sir.

Prepare the Big Missile for firing! Keep on standby alert!

Attack!

It worked.

The beast fighter's preoccupied.

BLAST OFF!!!

LET'S VOLT IN!!!

VOLTES V!!!

Listen up! We can't let this beast fighter trick us! Don't let it get near Big Falcon!

Shit! It's got us! We've got to break free!

Good work, Slazer! Coil around Voltes V and kill them!

Let's use the Grand Fire to break free!

Oh no! The Grand Fire isn't working!

That’s it, Slazer! Destroy Voltes V then destroy Big Falcon while their guard is down!

Jangal! How is the attack?

Everything is in our favor, Prince Heinel. Victory will soon be ours!

Our beast fighter Slazer will soon be finished with Big Falcon!

We can't let the beast fighter get near Big Falcon!

Checking energy, okay!

Voltes V! Voltes V! We are ready to fire, you must volt out!

Aim at the beast fighter. It must have a weak point. We can’t let it get near the base!

But...

Very well, I’ll aim for it.

Hiyoshi! We’re losing balance! What happened?

We were hit by the cannon blast!

What!?

Hey! Why did you fire at us?

I'm sorry!

The Superelectromagnetic Cannon has been destroyed!

Hiyoshi! Go back to Big Falcon and have the Frigate repaired!

Yes!

Go!

Hiyoshi! Release the Superelectromagnetic String.

The Volt Frigate separated!

They're going to fight like that!?

CHAIN KNUCKLE!!!

Oh no! We're low on power!

Volt machine number five is also damaged!

Computer room, are we back online yet?

Not yet. We need more time.

We have to get back online fast. We can't take any more additional work!

Can't you make any temporary repairs?

We could if only the computer was working. The repair work needed is quite big!

There must be something that can be done!

Look! Someone's approaching!

What the hell?

Go back to work! Cowards, don't forget that you're soldiers of Big Falcon!

GET YOUR ASSES BACK IN THE BASE!!!

Do better and stay here to repair the computer instead of running!

You're not even doing a good job!

Remove the adapter and the magnetic circuit!

That's dangerous!

That'll speed things up.

Microarm.

Magnify.

Yes sir.

That should hold it for a while.

It's risky if the poles are contaminated with dust. It could overheat.

We could use water to cool it down. It's kind of crude, but it'll do for now.

Return the magnetic circuit.

Do as I say, we're running out of time!

Once you've finished the alternate poles, you can turn the computer back on.

Energize the nuclear reactor and reactivate the barrier.

Yes sir!

Good news, Hiyoshi. The computer is fixed!

That's great!

The computer’s working again! So is the barrier!

We still have this thing to deal with! Use the Superelectromagnetic String!

LANDER SHURIKEN!!!

I hope Hiyoshi gets back here soon!

There's no time to waste! You must volt in immediately!

Who are you?

I'll explain later! Look out! Behind you!

Oh no!

Kenichi! Ippei! Daijirou!

Hiyoshi! Is your Frigate all fixed?

Yes, big sis. We can volt in now!

All right!

Here we go! Let's volt in!

Use your legs! Use your hands and grab its heads!

SUPERELECTROMAGNETIC TOPS!!!

SWORD OF HEAVEN!!!

Kenichi, what are you waiting for?

Watch this, Megumi!

Take this! SWORD OF HEAVEN!!! V-SLASH!!!

Professor Sakunji is Professor Hamaguchi's protege.

He will be your new commander at Big Falcon.

Hamaguchi was his professor in Space Technology.

The position was previously offered to him but he refused at first.

But he has changed his mind and we should be thankful...

That's enough, General Oka.

You kids are in bad shape!

I'm going to have to train you much harder. Do you think you have what it takes?

oya ni hagureta hinadori mo

There will be a tomorrow

itsuka wa yasashii

when even this little bird

futokoro ni

that turned from his parents

can someday return to their kind bosom, right?

aeru ashita mo aru darou

da no ni naze meguriaenu chichi no kage

Yet why can't I even meet father's shadow?

naku mono ka boku wa otoko da

Am I going to cry? No way, I'm a man.

shinjite'ru shinjite'ru

I believe, I believe

sono hi no koto wo

in that day,

kono te de chichi wo dakishimeru hi no koto wo

the day I embrace my father in my arms.
