Voltes Five, we bet everything on you.

yaru zo chikara no tsukiru made

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

chikyuu no yoake wa mou chikai

The dawning of the earth is near...

I'm fed up with your failures. You've given me nothing but empty promises.

You say victory is ours, but we still haven't beaten Voltes V!

How do you plan to redeem yourselves and restore Boazan's glory? Speak up!

I offer my life to the cause.

I'll remember those words. For your dedication, I'll give you another chance.

Yes sir.

You shall lead our next attack.

It's my honor, Prince Heinel.

You've been studying life forms on Earth to create a better beast fighter.

What do you think can best defeat the enemy?

I think Bonzarus can do it.

Bonzarus...

"The Strategy Told from the Grave."

Mother, we have avenged your death from the Boazanians.

Mother, if it weren't for you, we would've all died. We're grateful to you.

Rest in peace.

Okay, let's go.

Just a little longer, brother.

Just a little longer, Kenichi.

You guys are overdoing this!

What do you mean?

You're like kids. Mother this, mother that. Get over it!

What did you say?

Yeah!

Never mind, we should get going anyway.

Brother, don't you care about mother?

Hiyoshi, you know he does.

Mother, why did you do that? Saving us wasn't worth your life!

KENICHI, DAIJIROU, HIYOSHI!!!

You didn't have to die. We could've thought of another way to get out of that situation!

What is it?

So I said I wouldn't cry anymore, and now I'm crying. So what?

Mother this, mother that!

What's wrong with that?

You hate your mother, don't you?

What do you know? It's none of your business!

These flowers were expensive!

Sorry about that. Anyway, you can always buy more.

Ippei!

Why are you so calloused? Kenichi lost his mother! Have some compassion!

Megumi, I'd like to rest. You're welcome to stare at me if you like.

Tell me about your mother.

Tell me why you hate mother so much.

It'll help us get along better.

Forget it!

Looking for this?

Megumi.

Launch the targets!

CREW CUTTER!!!

BOMBER HOOK!!!

Damn that Ippei! CREW ARROW!!!

No confidence in your skills, Kenichi?

What?

Is your aim that bad that you have to use homing missiles? Did mommy teach you that?

No unnecessary talking!

We aren't machines. We can crack jokes once in a while.

Treat this like it's for real! You don't chit-chat during combat!

Well isn't that cute. I bet your mommy's death taught you that.

Ippei! That's enough!

You got something against our mother?

It was a mistake for Ippei to go to the grave.

Halt practice for now.

The Boazanians.

Impressive! At that speed, Voltes V can't even hit it with lasers or projectiles.

I'll believe it when I see Voltes V defeated.

Professor. Where is the enemy?

All I see here are clouds!

Up there!

There!

I'm the Boazanian beast fighter Bonzarus! I was made to defeat you!

The Earth is our home, and as long as we have Voltes V, you won't succeed!

Is that so? Then I'll have to destroy your Superelectromagnetic machine!

The action is so fast, I can barely keep up!

His forte is his speed! Bonzarus! Don't let up! Keep attacking!

BOMBER BOMBS!!!

I hoped you would give me a good fight. Let's go!

CREW BOOMERANG!!!

You humans aren't bad! I'm going to enjoy this!

What?

Shit!

You'll have to do better than that!

His speed isn't of this Earth! Our computers can't keep up with him!

We'll have to base our attack on our intuition.

Now!

Now!

Watch out!

Mom's grave!

Ippei, did you do that deliberately?

Of course not, it was an accident!

I don't believe you. You've been acting weird lately!

It was Kenichi who hit my weapon!

They're arguing amongst themselves! This is my chance!

What are you doing? The enemy's right above you!

LANDER CONCRETE!!!

I'll kill you for that!

Listen Bonzarus! The concrete will affect your speed! Retreat for now!

Lucky humans! You've won this one, but I'll be back!

It hurts a little, but I'll be fine.

It's good that it isn't serious. The Voltes Team was lucky this time.

I'm more worried about Ippei.

Me too. I wonder where all his anger comes from.

I think I know.

What?

I think it stems from his childhood.

Okay, it's now good as new, mother.

Ippei! Apologize to my mother!

Yeah! Do it right now!

It wasn't my fault. It was Kenichi's Crew Arrow that hit my weapon.

You're the one to blame!

Don't blame my brother! You attacked the grave! Admit it!

You talk like you weren't there. Kenichi aimed for me and missed!

I was aiming for Bonzarus!

And you hit me instead because your aim sucks!

You're a jerk!

Hold it, this is pointless.

This guy is pissing me off!

I'm not apologizing for anything!

Wait!

Where do you think you're going?

You want to gang up on me for something I didn't do?

You got it.

Shit.

Daijirou! Hiyoshi! I'll take care of this!

Beat him up!

I'm not going to let you dishonor our mother.

Mother this, mother that!

Megumi!

What is this? Before you fight, listen to me!

Megumi, back off!

Ippei, you and Kenichi are the same when it comes to your mothers. I know.

No way!

You're annoyed at the Go Brothers for thinking too much about their mother.

Is it because of a sad past you had with your mother?

Is that why you always have a chip on your shoulder?

No way.

He's an orphan. His mother abandoned him.

Abandoned?!

That's enough, Megumi!

Ippei, your hatred towards your mother means you love her very much. Admit it.

No!

Ippei and his parents emigrated to America and had a hard time settling in.

Because of the harsh life, Ippei's father got very sick.

Ippei woke up one night and his mother was gone. He called to her repeatedly.

Mama?

Mama?

What is it, Ippei?

Mama?

Mama?

Ippei.

MAMA!!!

MAMA!!!

He grew up in this world all alone.

His mother couldn't cope with the hardship and abandoned him and his father.

After his father died of illness, he was left with nobody to take care of him.

He grew up all alone and life was hard.

Fine, fine. He had an unhappy childhood. But he shouldn't take that out on us.

I knew you'd say that. You're just as frustrated about losing your mother.

Because of this war, more sad stories like yours and Ippei's are told everyday.

That's why we must be a strong team to win against the enemy!

Megumi, I get your point. I know what you're trying to say.

Prepare to blast off.

Standby to launch.

Yes, this is Big Falcon.

What? You have the information I requested about Ippei's parents?

Ippei, I have some information regarding your mother.

I don't want to hear it. Mind your own business!

Ippei! It turns out that your mother saved your life.

How can anyone dig up any information about my mother?

It's a telex copy. You,mother saved you from a pack of wolves.

Wolves!?

Read this. Your mother died saving your life. You were too young to know what happened.

She removed the gun powder from bullets to cause an explosion that would kill the wolves.

She exploded with the wolves.

Your father managed to report the incident to the authorities before his demise.

Yes, I remember. The loud bang and bright light. I remember them when I think of mother.

My mother died for me, just like Kenichi's mother died for him. Oh mother...

Get ready! Bonzarus is here!

Bonzarus! Don't give them the chance to unite! Attack at once!

I am Bonzarus, the ultimate weapon!

This one's fast! No time to volt in!

We can't do anything unless we slow it down!

Here goes! CREW ARROW!!!

It's only a matter of time before I blow you to bits!

BOMBER RING!!!

BOMBER MISSILE!!!

PANZER MISSILE!!!

FRIGATE MISSILE!!!

LANDER MISSILE!!!

Kenichi! I have an idea!

What is it?

Remember our mishap that broke your mom's grave post?

Let's use a similar kind of wild attack on this enemy!

I see. We must hit him where he least expects it! Let's try it!

BOMBER MISSILE!!!

NOW! V-TOGETHER!!!

LET'S VOLT IN!!!

VOLTES V!!!

This looks bad, Bonzarus.

What are you talking about, General Jangal?

This is nothing! Prince Heinel, watch me!

SUPERELECTROMAGNETIC STRING!!!

No human can cope with this centrifugal force!

Mother...

MOTHER!!!

SWORD OF HEAVEN!!! FIRE!!!

Is this robot really created by humans?

SUPERELECTROMAGNETIC TOP!!!

NOW!!!

CHAIN KNUCKLES!!!

Now! SWORD OF HEAVEN!!!

You won't beat me!

And now! V-SLASH!!!

Both our mothers died while protecting us. They're probably watching over us right now.

Thank you, auntie, for the lesson you have taught me from your grave.

Ippei, I hope this means we're all friends again.

Why you!

Megumi, this proves that we must be united to protect our planet.

We must protect it with the same love our mothers have for us.

We'll show those Boazanians the power of our unity. They'll never win!
