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...

Heinel was the victim of a plot by Bergan to remove him from his position.

The Solar Bird saves the Earth by taking the bomb into space where it explodes harmlessly.

"Prelude of the Galactic Battle!!"

Kentaro Go is no longer on Earth to help defend it.

However, the secret of the Solar Bird begins to reveal itself.

A previously prepared recording was played before the Voltes Team.

This is in preparation for the impending invasion of the Earth by Zambojil.

We have devised a sophisticated set of new technology to defend our planet.

The Solar Bird and Big Falcon are parts of a defense strategy as you will soon see.

What does he mean?

I don't know.

At the heart of all these is a revolutionary engine that I invented.

Big Falcon is equipped with such an engine.

Look!

Looks like the docking sequence is being initiated!

Now please pay attention to the control panel.

Look! The ceiling's opening!

Press the red button. Press the red button.

What will that do?

Big Falcon and Solar Bird interlocking shall commence. Initiate... Initiate...

All right.

An earthquake!

No, this place is moving!

What is this? It feels like we're coming off the ground!

Big Falcon and Solar Bird docking sequence commencing... Sequence commencing...

Did it say "docking"?

Oh! Big Falcon is going to dock with the Solar Bird!

That would mean Big Falcon and Solar Bird's energy circuits have combined.

Commence docking. Commence docking...

Okay! Proceed with docking sequence.

It's done!

Docking successful.

I'm Doir.

I'm Sakunji.

We're the Voltes Team.

Can we use this to travel to Boazan?

Yes. Professor Go anticipated the need for this and created a warp drive.

Incredible! This has enough power to travel anywhere!

That's amazing!

Let's go to Boazan!

Yeah! Let's surprise them and rescue Professor Go!

Right!

Let's help them!

But General Doir, the distance is 14,000 light years. Even with warp travel, it'll take too long!

Please be patient and let me explain.

We'll be traveling through the fifth dimension.

It’s like a shortcut from the Earth to Boazan.

That's right.

The warp drive opens a wormhole!

We'll arrive in Boazan in no time!

Hey, Megumi.

What do they mean by "warp"?

You mean you don't know?!

How does the hand move from six to twelve?

From six around to the top.

Correct. But with warping, it goes straight through!

That cuts the distance and traveling time between the two points, get it?

Could you run that theory by me again?

However...

The danger of warping is in going through the shortest route.

What do you mean?

We could materialize in the middle of something when we come out of warp speed.

That would be like two solid objects occupying the same space at the same time.

Yup!

That's risky. Can we avoid it?

I'll get recon ships to survey the materialization zone ahead of us.

Some of the ships were destroyed by asteroids in the materialization zone.

Change course by a microparsec.

Yes, as you command, sir!

That was close. We were almost killed by that asteroid.

Those recon ships will see if the coast is clear.

Those recon ships will be at risk. Isn't there another way to scan the materialization zone?

I'm afraid not.

Warp generator fully energized. Check!

Energy okay! System, check!

All systems go!

Primary systems, check!

Primary system okay!

On my mark! SPACE WARP!!!

They're gone.

That's pretty cool.

Let's just hope they get there safely.

What's that?

It needs to re-energize after use.

Those ships occupy a much smaller space. If they make it safely, it doesn't mean we will.

Do you understand?

Let's do it!

Falcon plus Solar Bird, prepare for warp travel!

Prepare for space warp!

Energy okay! Space warp, commence! 4! 3! 2! 1! 0!

An asteroid!

That was close!

We were only a few meters away.

We almost died!

Boazan is 14,000 light years away from Earth.

Boazan is the prime planet of the Solar System, four times the size of Earth.

It's the seat of power of the Boazanian Empire, headed by Emperor Zambojil.

He holds court in the so-called Celestial Tower.

Emperor! I have urgent news.

General Gururu.

You shall not set foot in my court without giving me the proper respect! Start over!

Yes! My apologies, your highness!

All that I do and all that I am is for the glory of the illustrious reign of Emperor Zambojil!

Much better. Proceed with your report.

We've detected a large craft in the vicinity of our star system, quickly approaching us.

Preposterous! Who would enter Boazanian space without permission from me?

Preposterous indeed, sir.

What kind of a ship is it?

A space fortress, sir.

A fortress?

Only an advanced civilization can travel with warp technology.

It must be La Gour.

What do you mean, sir?

He taught the Earthlings warp technology!

Does that mean Voltes V is out there?

They've come to attack us.

I've underestimated the propensity of those Earthlings for stupidity, bringing Voltes V here.

Take the starship Zartan and intercept them.

Me!?

Consider it an honor. Be grateful for the opportunity you've been given!

Yes...

Fine. Take the Altair and Liger fleets along with you. Is that good enough?

Yes! They'll taste our wrath! They'll realize that we are a force to be reckoned with!

You may also take our prisoner La Gour with you!

As long as you have him with you, Voltes V won't attack you!

It isn't necessary, sir. I'm General Gururu of the Boazanian Forces.

They will bow down to our superior military might!

You're beginning to brag before accomplishing your mission. Make sure you don't fail! Go!

Yes sir!

Your sons have come for you, La Gour. They'll see how futile it is. My army knows no defeat!

They have a lot of nerve entering our galaxy. General Gururu will annihilate them!

The Boazanian satellites will also fend them off!

It’s them. They're here! The Solar Falcon's here!

We're approaching the Boazanian star system.

Where?

Is it the red planet?

No, that can't be it.

You can have a closer look at the screen.

There it is, with the two rings!

The rings are electromagnetic radiation belts. Positive and negative.

We have to pass through the belt stream?

The radiation it emits is too strong, capable of disintegrating physical matter.

Unidentified objects approaching. 75 parsecs. Alert.

It's the Boazanian star fleet!

From sector A to sector B. 26 squadrons. Sector B, 30 squadrons.

A royal welcoming committee.

It's an impressively huge fleet!

Can't we warp out of this sector?

The warp engines are still regenerating.

We have no choice but to fight then!

Daijirou's right. What do you say, team?

All right! Go team!

Yes sir!

Acknowledged!

Prepare for battle! After Voltes V launches, spread the barrier!

It’s Voltes V!

What!? Voltes V!?

This time our powerful armada will take them down!

We can't hit any friendlies here in space!

We can use the Crew Boomerang or Chain Knuckle here without hurting anyone!

All right, let's raise hell! CREW BOOMERANG!!!

That's cool! Here's my chance to kick some ass! BOMBER HOOK!!!

Let's do some real damage! Let's unite!

Yeah!

LET'S VOLT IN!!!

VOLTES V!!!

SUPERELECTROMAGNETIC STRING!!!

GRAND FIRE!!!

GATLING MISSILES!!!

Don't let them have the upper hand! Destroy them!

There's another way.

What is it?

If we activate our shields, we can cancel their barrier!

That better work. Altair Squadron! Activate force fields and ram the Solar Falcon!

They've turned their barriers on. They want to cancel our barrier!

That's it!

Keep it up!

Fire back!

Falcon's under attack!

Use the particle wave field!

What?! Our ships are too close! It'll destroy our ships as well!

Do you want to win or not?

But...

Why are you hesitating? Let me do it!

Oh no!

It's the wave field!

It's causing a space disturbance!

What's happening?

I can't move!

It's causing a vacuum!

Weapon engaging. Particle negator activated to cancel particle wave field.

Incredible. Professor Go was prepared for their best weapon!

Unbelievable!

This is intolerable! Gururu failed to stop them. Heinel failed to stop them!

No, it's because of La Gour! We must protect Boazan!

Sodom and Gomorrah! Not even Go can create something to beat that! I shall activate them!

Sodom and Gomorrah have been mobilized!

What is it?

The emperor's ultimate defense system against invaders.

That's...

That thing will destroy us along with the Earthlings!

It disintegrates anything in its path!

There's no escape once the beam touches you!

Get back to base! Those energy streams are too powerful!

Yes!

Go, Sodom and Gomorrah. Nothing can escape you! Destroy everything in your path!

Die, Voltes V! Die, Earthlings!

Sodom and Gomorrah are pushing us to the electromagnetic rings!

There will be a tomorrow

can someday return to their kind bosom, right?
