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

chikyuu no yoake wa mou chikai

The dawning of the earth is near...

Father! Father!

Kenichi!

Father!

Kenichi!

Kenichi!

Father!

KENICHI!!!

FATHER!!!

It was only a dream.

Father.

"Father, the Earth is Near!!"

Unidentified flying objects approaching the Earth!

What? How many?

About 8 to 10. No, make that 20. They're heading to Point D, 3 degrees south.

They're crossing Saturn's orbit to get here.

All right. Try to get them on the main screen.

Yes sir!

Can't you magnify further?

No sir. No can do.

They might be coming from Boazan.

Our course is now 0.3 degrees, passing Saturn...

Look! Vessel #2 is going off course.

Oh no! Our engine blew! Everyone, it was a pleasure. Hope you all reach Earth safely...

Too bad for them.

Not when we're so close.

It's a shame to lose them when we're so close to Earth.

Are we really near the Earth? Are you sure?

The Earth... Where there is no discrimination... No slavery...

Look! Over there! That's the Earth!

So that's the Earth.

What a beautiful planet!

It will be a wonderful life for us there. No slavery. We can finally live free.

I can hardly wait! A life without persecution is waiting for us!

Thank you, Professor Go. You've done a splendid job. You've pulled us through.

No, we did this together. We escaped Boazan together. We must now get to Earth.

It takes light 14,000 years to travel from Boazan to Earth.

But with your warp technology, it only took us a few months.

Warp technology is also known as space transposition, or jumping dimensions.

Einstein theorized that space and time are like one round ball.

If you are currently at Point A, going around the ball takes the longest amount of time.

Using warp technology, the space between the ball is shortened.

You can then go through the ball instead of around it, making travel time much shorter.

This is the theory behind warp technology.

When we arrive, the humans will welcome us with open arms.

Your sons will be so happy to see you once again.

How they must have grown. I can't wait to see them and Voltes V.

Professor, what is the course of the flying objects?

They've passed Jupiter's orbit at unbelievable speed. They're fast approaching the Earth.

Kenichi, there isn't enough of them to mount a decent attack. This may be a waste of time.

That's strange indeed.

It could be part of the enemy's strategy.

Anyway, don't let them into the stratosphere.

Be ready to attack them, they'll be there in 17 minutes!

Yes sir!

I can't believe how harsh life is in Boazan.

Yes, it’s been a long and hard fight.

Work, slave!

Work harder! Faster!

What's the problem, I said WORK FASTER!

Useless idiot!

Get to work! Otherwise you'll share his fate!

Work harder! The Emperor is coming to inspect the palace!

Very good. It's almost complete. Once it's complete, I can command all of Boazan!

Continue with the construction.

Yes sir. We will work double time to stay on schedule.

No more rest starting today.

That evil Zambojil.

Get to work!

We must put a stop to this suffering immediately.

Professor Go, we must make our move.

Yes, General Dange. Are you ready?

Yes, Professor Go, let's attack at midnight.

Very well.

Wait.

Make sure to check all of our equipment.

Yes sir. Right away.

Professor, you're indeed very commendable.

You're the one who is commendable, General Dange.

You were a member of the aristocracy, but you broke off your horns and joined the slaves.

I owe you my life.

I had to. Zambojil treats the hornless like animals. He's corrupted by power.

I won't allow him to extend his reign across the galaxy. I vow to stop him, Professor Go.

General Dange.

Professor Go.

We must escape and head for Earth. Then we'll come back and liberate this planet.

Professor, just give us the word and we'll begin the attack.

Now!

Hurry! Take control!

Hurry!

The slaves have stolen the disc saucers and have escaped!

What!? Those ingrates! How dare they!

We must stop them right away!

After them! Kill them all! If they get away, I'll put you to death! Do you understand? GO!

Yes sir.

Energy at maximum capacity!

Engines at full throttle!

All systems ready!

We'll be out of the Boazanian stratosphere in a matter of seconds.

All systems go!

We have succeeded, Professor Go.

General Dange, how many disc saucers have escaped?

About twenty-five.

Is that so, we're doing fine.

Set engine power to 80%. Set a course for Point 0.012, to Planet #3 of the Solar System.

The number of disc saucers has been cut down to half.

This trip shall be over soon.

What happened?

Professor Go, it's the enemy!

What?

Oh no! It's a Boazanian beast fighter!

We must send a distress call to the Earth Defense Base.

Deserters! You shall all be turned to space dust, except for Kentaro Go, of course.

There he is! Gokiiru! Kill them all except for the one in the center!

Be brave! We must not give up! Fight to the end!

We are finished.

I believe that even if we die, others will continue the struggle.

Not when we are so near.

Kenichi, Daijirou, Hiyoshi. I'd give anything to see you once again.

General Dange, we must make our final stand.

Yes, even if we have to do it alone.

Let's attack.

General Dange!

I wanted to go to the Earth so much...

General Dange!

GENERAL DANGE!!!

I'll do this myself.

Professor Go is the only one left!

We got him! I have a special plan that involves Kentaro Go!

Zuhl.

You are most welcome, Professor Go. It has been a while.

Come off it. I'm sure you're scheming something that involves me!

Correct. You know me quite well, Professor.

Any plan you hatch has got to be evil.

Evil? Of course not. All I want is to have the one heading the invasion of Earth removed.

What!? Prince Heinel?

Yes. I never liked him. So young, being appointed base commander.

So you want his job.

Yes. Are you going to help me?

No.

No!? But I need your help. I need your expertise which created the mighty Voltes V.

Look! A beast fighter!

I thought we were going against Boazanian saucers. What happened?

I can't have Voltes V interfere with my plans! We must destroy Voltes V!

My sons! They're here!

Damn those kids!

Kenichi! Daijirou! Hiyoshi! You've all grown to be great pilots! I wish I could be with you!

Team! Let's volt in and defeat it!

Yes!

LET'S VOLT IN!!!

VOLTES V!!!

Voltes V.

CHAIN KNUCKLES!!!

GATLING MISSILES!!!

VOLTES BEAM!!!

Damn it!

Your beast fighter is no match for Voltes V. You will lose!

Shut up!

SUPERELECTROMAGNETIC TOPS!!!

SWORD OF HEAVEN!!!

Oh no! Voltes V is going to attack us!

Let's destroy the skull ship now! Are you guys ready? Let's go!

Okay!

Yeah. Let's attack!

Let's attack now!

Let's go for the bridge!

CHAIN KNUCKLES!!!

You can't run away from Voltes V!

Damn!

Kenichi, Daijirou, Hiyoshi, don't let up. Destroy this ship!

Take him away and put him in the capsule. Raise him up high so his sons will see him!

Once they're distracted, we can get out of here!

It won't work! You can't run away from Voltes V!

Take him away!

Daijirou! Let's attack the bridge at full power!

All right! FULL POWER!!!

Wait, Daijirou! Look at that!

That's father!

Is that father in the capsule? It can't be!

Father!

But why's father in there?

Yes, that's your father in the capsule. Listen Voltes V, if you attack, I'll kill him!

Don't listen to him, Kenichi. That could be another robot!

Yes! We've already been tricked twice!

Yes. We won’t fall for the same trick again. Let's attack!

VOLTES BEAM!!!

VOLTES BAZOOKA!!!

That's it! Continue the attack! Don’t stop because of me!

My plan isn't working! Spread the barrier! Spread the barrier!

GRAND FIRE!!!

That's it! Your primary duty is to protect the Earth! Keep attacking! Destroy this ship!

Once more!

Oh no. If Professor Go is killed, my plan won't work! This can’t be!

VOLTES BEAM!!!

That's it, keep it up!

OH SHIT!

Get out of there! Kenichi! Daijirou! Hiyoshi!

Shit!

That's right, use the Sword!

SWORD OF HEAVEN!!!

They're such strong and brave fighters. Kenichi, Daijirou, Hiyoshi...

What's that?

Kenichi...

Tears! He's crying!

Hiyoshi!

Those are tears, brother! He's really father! Father!

Daijirou!

Father... that really is father over there!

FATHER!!!

My sons...

NOW'S THE TIME! ATTACK!!!

FATHER!!!

Once again, the Go Brothers caught a glimpse of their father but he was taken away.

When will the meet again?

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.
