SPACE KNIGHT

TEKKAMAN

Let the sun burn! Race forth, Tekkaman!

moero taiyou kakero Tekkaman

The Waldastar are there, scheming in the dark!

yami ni ugomeku Waldastar

In the light of the shining galaxies

kudaite hoshikuzu uchuu no hate ni

If you call out your father's name...

kirameku ginga ni chichi no na yobeba

The tear you cry will be another star

hitosuji nagareru namidaboshi

Do it, Pegas! Tek Setter!

Space Knight! Space Knight Tekkaman!

As the 21st century nears, Earth's science has advanced to allow for space stations

at the furthest reaches of the solar system.

The next goal is spaceships that can leave the solar system.

The fate of everyone on Earth rides on this project's success.

Look at that pollution. Earth used to be so beautiful.

Captain. How much longer can Earth sustain life?

It's a candle in the wind.

What?

Like a tiny flame flickering at the center of a gale.

Look. Earth's atmosphere has become toxic.

Hydrogen bombs and pollution have filled it with contaminants.

Eventually, gravity will turn them into showers of deadly rain.

On that day, humanity will die.

The Space Pioneer Project must succeed at all costs.

Leap Navigation will let us explore the universe freely, after all.

But will Earth last long enough to see it realized?

It's too late to save the Earth.

There is no one to blame.

Captain. An unknown object is approaching.

Is it a meteor?

No, sir! It's sending out a strange electromagnetic signal.

It must be a space ship!

What's that? A space ship?

There shouldn't be any Earth ships in this area.

But that means...

Hero of the Sun

Meanwhile, on the distant Earth...

Father... I hope all is going well.

Jouji! The Space Angel...

Hiromi! What's wrong?

Get to the control room! Quickly!

Right!

Captain!

Space Development Center! This is the Space Angel!

Space Development Center! This is the Space Angel!

I'm afraid we've lost our artificial gravity!

We have no chance of escape!

Minami! What's going on?

Minami! What's going on?

You can't give up!

It's over! I'm sorry!

Use the escape pods to evacuate!

Father! Father!

Father!

The Space Pioneer Project has produced its first casualties.

Father!!!

Father... how can you stand it?

How could you die with your dream unfulfilled?

Your one dream, of leaving the solar system...

I hate them.

I hate the aliens who stole your dream away.

Papa wants to speak with you, Jouji.

Director Amachi?

Here. Step inside.

This is my secret laboratory.

Pegas.

That robot is amazing!

Hello.

H-Hello!

Jouji, Pegas here took me three years to develop.

He's truly spectacular.

Jouji, you know what the Space Pioneer Project is for, don't you?

Father told me about it.

You're testing ways for spaceships to leave the solar system, right?

The truth is, we're looking for Second Earth.

Second Earth?

You mean... we're abandoning our Earth?

Pollution has rendered the atmosphere toxic.

The Earth's natural resources are running dry.

The Clean Earth Project to restore the environment was canceled.

They realized it was too late to save it.

You mean, our Earth is doomed?!

I can't believe it...

But it is the truth.

Life on Earth has less than three years remaining.

That is... if we aren't wiped out by savage aliens first.

The aliens are approaching our solar system now.

It was those aliens that attacked father and the Space Angel?

We must find Second Earth as quickly as we can.

Then, we must migrate all of Earth's people there.

Director!

I intend to finish what my father started.

I would expect nothing less from Minami's son.

That's exactly what I hoped you'd say.

Pegas was built for another purpose, but I'm giving it to you.

Really? To me?

Pegas is extremely strong. He can fly, as well.

Let Pegas be your steed to refine your skills as a space pilot.

Then, see your father's dream to fruition.

Yes, sir!

What's all this?

This apparatus powers up human cells, converting a human into a Tekkaman.

A Tekkaman?

A bit like a medieval knight in a suit of armor.

A superman of sorts.

Director, could anyone use this to become a Tekkaman?

That's the issue.

The person's body must be receptive to a certain wavelength.

Most humans would simply die immediately.

A body receptive to a certain frequency?

More research will be needed before just anyone can become a Tekkaman.

It may be dozens of years before we reach that point.

Tekkaman...

The three year deadline for life on Earth is a closely guarded secret.

If the people were to learn the truth, the shock would cause worldwide chaos.

One night...

unto the Earth with its sorrowful secret

there came a visitor from space.

It's filthy. Earth in its last days, huh?

Are you coming down? Or should I come up?

I'm really sorry about that.

I didn't know anyone would be here.

And yet, they're still making robots. Well, fine toys to pass the time with, I suppose.

What was that?

This is no toy!

Pegas is the ultimate expression of Earth's scientific knowledge!

Is that the same scientific knowledge that's killing the Earth?

What?

I know the Earth only has three years left.

Who told you?

It wasn't hard to figure out. You even canceled the Clean Earth Project, after all.

Shut up! Not another word!

I don't know how you learned about this, but I won't let you tell anyone else!

You can't stop me, you know.

What was that?!

You've got quite a temper.

Don't you realize what would happen if the people knew?

You idiot!

Give it up. You won't convince me.

It will throw the Earth into chaos! Don't you realize that?!

You little...

Hello.

Jouji! Don't!

Take this!

I hate it when you fight!

Please, stop!

How did this start?

Please tell me, Jouji.

It's... it's because...

Nothing worth mentioning.

Jouji, was it?

I'll remember you.

The mysterious space fleet is nearing the edge of the solar system.

It has even destroyed a space station.

But what is it these aliens want?

The danger draws closer to Earth by the moment.

In hopes of repelling this formidable space fleet,

the Earth Defense Force is preparing to sortie its battle spaceships.

Director! I have a request.

Jouji? What is it?

You're not usually so formal with me.

Let me serve on one of the Earth Defense Force spaceships.

What?

I can't just sit by and do nothing.

I want to exterminate those filthy aliens with my own hands.

Absolutely not.

Please! I'm a trained space pilot too!

I promise I won't lose! Please—

I told you, no!

Listen to me. You have an important mission.

You must carry on your father's work.

The people of this world face a grim fate.

We must move them to Second Earth as soon as possible.

But...

If we do nothing, the aliens will attack.

We need to defeat them before anything else!

When I think about the suffering father went through before he died, I...

I sympathize. I do.

But this is not what your late father would want for you.

That is why I cannot allow this.

Fine!

Jouji!

The Blue Earth, is it?

This looks like it could make it out of the solar system.

That's the Blue Earth for you!

I'll let you handle the controls.

Our destination is point Theta-932, Phi-0688!

Roger.

Point Theta-932, Phi-0688.

Whoops, just realized I skipped dinner.

Here you are, sir.

Wow! Talk about service!

Gluttonous as always.

Hiromi!

There's no turning back to Earth now.

Papa would catch us both.

Captain.

Unidentified spaceships approaching.

What?

Look out!

Opening fire without warning...

Just like they did with Father!

We won't last long against this!

What do we do? We can't escape them.

Here we go.

Jouji! Where are you going?

Pegas! Tek Setter!

Jouji!

Power Wrap!

Is that Jouji?

Jouji!

I did it! I became a Tekkaman!

Tekkaman?

What does that mean?

You!

Did you sneak on board?

Earth's science is more advanced than I thought.

You actually produced a Tekkaman.

Who are you?

Just call me Andro Umeda.

What are you doing here on the Blue Earth?

The aliens that attacked the Space Angel are called the Waldastar.

Waldastar?

It's an alliance of evil aliens.

How do you know that?

That doesn't really matter, does it?

The point is, I'll help you fight the Waldastar.

What are the Waldastar after?

They want your solar system for themselves.

Of course, they'll kill everyone on Earth in the process.

I wonder if Earth can win against a force like theirs?

Just who is Andro Umeda?

How does he know the secrets of the fearsome Waldastar?

On the eve of Earth's self-destruction, a new threat looms.

With the power of Tekkaman in his hands,

and a will to succeed in his heart,

Jouji turns the Blue Earth back to Earth.

Go forth, Tekkaman! The Space Knight!

The Space Emperor Doblais finally shows himself.

Led by Rambos, Stellar Rogue Cluster Waldastar

continues to penetrate further into the solar system.

The Blue Earth makes an emergency launch to oppose them,

but Andro Umeda finds his way aboard once more.

Who exactly is this man?

As peril draws ever closer to Earth, Tekkaman rises to meet it!

Next time, on Space Knight Tekkaman:

Stellar Rogue Cluster Waldastar!

Tek Setter!

No flowers, no rainbows, no wind to blow

hana mo niji mo kaze no nai

No tears to flow down our cheeks

namida no hoho ni nagarenai

It's a cold, sad battle out here in space

tsumetaku kanashii uchuu no tatakai da

And yet, my heart still burns

dakedo kokoro wa moeteiru

It burns as hot as the sun!

yaiyou mitai ni moeteiru

The Space Knights are... (The Space Knights are...)

Space Knights wa (Space Knights wa)

The heroes of the sun!

taiyou no yuusha
