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

chikyuu no yoake wa mou chikai

The dawning of the earth is near...

Voltes V's sword was ineffective against General Bergan's beast fighter.

Earth Defense Headquarters gave military support to Big Falcon against the next attack.

"Suicide Attack!! The Superelectromagnetic Ball."

This isn't a regular repair job!

The electrical circuits being placed are bigger than before!

What!?

Possibly to increase the Super electromagnetic capacity.

So you've noticed, Hiyoshi. You're a smart kid.

Professor.

General. What brings you here?

I want to show General Oka an experiment I conducted.

An experiment!?

Yes. Come with us.

Professor, what are you experimenting on?

Professor, what are those?

Fragments of the last beast fighter.

To find out how the mechanical eagle's laser penetrated it, when Voltes V's sword couldn't.

So how did it?

The armor is made of a special alloy that I've seen before.

A special alloy, so that's why Voltes V's sword was ineffective against it.

It must've come from Boazan. It's impossible to create an alloy that tough here on Earth.

However, there is a weak point in this seemingly invincible alloy.

Look at that.

Those fragments were exposed to the laser from the mechanical eagle.

Look at how the atomic structure has weakened substantially.

That's how we were able to use the sword against it!

Exactly.

This fragment hasn't been exposed to the laser. Observe. Look for any changes.

No effect!

Next.

Even the laser doesn't work!

A missile!?

Impressive! Even if it is so small, we can't destroy it!

That's why our sword didn't work!

Yes. Now watch.

What's that?

Professor, what was that beam?

The Superelectromagnetic Beast Cannon.

Beast Cannon?!

It's powered by enhanced Superelectromagnetism.

Is it the same as the laser from the mechanical eagle?

Yes. That's why only after exposure to the laser was Voltes V's sword effective against it.

At least now we have a means to defeat beast fighters armored with that alloy. We're safe.

No, there's still another problem!

It's impossible to generate that much power, even if we use all of Voltes V's energy.

Why?

Even if we use all of Voltes V's energy, it won't generate enough for the load needed!

But the experiment was successful!

Yes, but do you know how much energy the cannon needed to destroy that fragment?

We used up almost all the energy in Big Falcon!

Voltes V can't generate that laser ray like the mechanical eagle did.

The load needed is far too big! It can't be done!

But how can the mechanical eagle generate that much energy, with it being so small?

It must have a special device for that.

Where could that have come from? That mechanical eagle is superior in technology.

Conversations like this make me wish Kenichi's father was with us.

Can we say then that the next beast fighter will be invincible?

No, there might be another way to beat it.

We could harness energy from lightning using the sword.

After Voltes V absorbs the energy, we can unleash a Superelectromagnetic Ball.

Superelectromagnetic Ball!?

A ball generated by Superelectromagnetic energy.

Then the enhanced repair work being done on Voltes V will help us generate such a ball!

Correct again, Hiyoshi. We have to be able to do this as soon as possible.

With all these preparations, what are we so worried about then?

Even with all this, we still don't know if Voltes V can withstand being struck by lightning.

The Boazanians could also attack while we're making these modifications on Voltes V.

But there is no way around this! We have to do it!

It definitely is better than doing nothing!

If the enemy attacks, Earth Defense Headquarters will help Big Falcon.

General Oka.

Father.

Okay, we'll proceed. But I can't guarantee anything. None of this may work, understand?

Yes.

Where did that mechanical eagle come from? Who is the pilot of that strange craft?

Conversations like this make me wish Kenichi's father was with us.

The last time we saw father was when he fell into the sea. I hope he's still alive.

What if he's the pilot of that mechanical eagle?

KENICHI!!!

Ippei! Why are you guys up so early?

Same as you.

Brother, I couldn't sleep. I kept having nightmares about this being our last battle.

Idiot!

Sorry for being so fatalistic.

Don't worry, Hiyoshi. Mother watches over us. Besides, this comes with our job.

All right!

Ippei.

We fight together till the bitter end!

Now.

General Bergan, this creation of yours is supposed to be your masterpiece?

From conception, to design, to construction, it is all mine.

Are you sure you'll destroy Voltes V this time?

Yes sir.

All right, show me what it can do. This should be interesting.

Enemy approaching! Starboard side,

83 degrees west, speed of 30 knots, distance, 1000 miles!

LAUNCH TORPEDOES!!!

Destler! Transform into battle mode!

We're ready to attack the beast fighter!

Prepare to fire!

The beast fighter is within range, sir!

Launch missiles!

Open fire!

This Mazingar alloy is really something. No wonder General Bergan is so proud of it!

Professor, is Voltes V ready?

What about the electrical circuit of Voltes V, is it done?

Is Voltes V ready?

We're almost finished, sir.

Hurry!

Professor, isn't it finished yet?

Wait. The circuits are almost finished.

Why are they taking so long?

Tests for the capacitors aren't finished yet.

That's father's ship!

Professor!

Listen. There is no time to test the capacitor. Even if it isn't working, there's no time to fix it.

Professor, we're prepared for that event. We'll fight no matter what!

We know that the modifications made don't ensure success. We must go anyway!

Voltes Team, prepare to launch!

Yes!

It’s Voltes V!

Okay, team, let's go! V-TOGETHER!!!

LET'S VOLT IN!!!

VOLTES V!!!

Voltes V, today you die! Our beast fighter will make short work of you! DESTLER! ATTACK!!!

All right. Let's go, team!

SWORD OF HEAVEN!!!

Stubborn humans! They persist despite their sword being ineffective against Mazingar alloy!

That's the first time I've seen them do that!

Is that enough, Professor?

Not yet, not enough energy!

We can't take much more!

Now! Now's our chance, Kenichi!

SUPERELECTROMAGNETIC BALL!!!

What was that?

Shit!

Stay cool! Stay cool, brother!

Let's try again! TAKE THIS!!!

Voltes Team! What's going on?

Kenichi!

Ippei!

Daiirou!

Megumi!

Hiyoshi!

Get up! GET UP!!!

We did it! DESTLER!!! Victory is ours! Voltes V has been beaten!!!

Destler! Now's our chance to finish them off! Destroy them quickly!

BROTHER!!!

What's happening now?

Voltes V, now's your chance! Attack it's forehead! Do it now!

Damn it! Where did that mechanical eagle come from? I swear I'll destroy it!

What's that?

Open the hatches! Check if the Voltes Team is still alive!

Professor!

This was dropped by the mechanical eagle.

These are plans to strengthen Voltes V!

I wonder who made these plans?

Once again, Voltes V owes their victory to the mechanical eagle.

This time it leaves plans to strengthen Voltes V.

The identity of the pilot remains unknown.
