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!

Yaruzo Pegas Tek Setter

Space Knight! Space Knight Tekkaman!

Uchuu no kishi uchuu no kishi Tekkaman

Do it, Pegas! Tek Setter!

Yaruzo Pegas Tek Setter

Space Knight! Space Knight Tekkaman!

Uchuu no kishi uchuu no kishi Tekkaman

Minami Jouji burns for vengeance against the aliens that killed his father.

In defiance of Amachi Souzou, director of the Space Development Center,

Jouji took off with the robot Pegas, became Tekkaman, and charged into battle.

But the mystery man Andro Umeda had also come aboard the Blue Earth.

Just who is this man?

Why does he know so much about the aliens?

The Stellar Rogue Cluster, Waldastar

The Stellar Rogue Cluster, Waldastar

It looks like they're safe!

Thank goodness.

That's great.

Aren't you glad to see them back safe, Director?

I thought he'd be happier...

What's that?

Who's that guy?

Director! I did it!

I became the space knight, Tekkaman!

Father! Not just that, but a man named Andro told us all about the aliens!

Hey Andro! Come on in!

An—

Huh? Where'd he go?

You fool!

I am glad you're safe. But if something had happened...

I'm sorry.

But...

It takes an extraordinary person to become a Tekkaman.

The strain it put on your body may have yet to manifest.

I'll be fine!

Do not underestimate science!

Listen to me. Science has a dark side.

It can put humans into situations from which there is no easy escape.

I forbid you from using Pegas ever again.

Y-You can't!

Tekkaman exists to fight aliens, doesn't it?

I want to avenge my father!

Please! Let me use Pegas!

You're not worthy to be a Tekkaman.

Why not?!

More so than the physical aspect, I'm concerned about the mental one.

How can you protect Earth with such a petty motive as vengeance?!

Director!

What is wrong with wanting vengeance?!

Those aliens have to pay!

Father...

I've already sent his father to die.

I don't want him to die a pointless death in one of my inventions, too.

It's still too soon for him.

Even if Jouji did become a Tekkaman, he couldn't beat the aliens.

I believe you, father.

Dammit!

I'm going to settle things with those aliens, no matter what!

They'll pay for what they did to my father!

Don't crush it!

The true sign of a protector of Earth...

...would be in how he treats flowers, don't you think?

Don't you dare talk down to me!

I... I have...

What's wrong, Jouji?

Jouji! Jouji!

What did I...

Father was right to be worried about you.

What?

Please, you must rest.

The medical tests revealed intense physical exhaustion.

You might not survive another round of this!

Where's the director?

He's attending the International Space Conference in Washingkyo.

I told him about Andro.

Y-You can't!

Jouji, don't!

Where are you going?

Jouji!

Jouji, please!

Jouji! You need to lie down!

I have no idea what Andro is.

But he knew that the Clean Earth Plan—

Wait a minute, here!

What is it, Mr. Kling?

I oversee the Clean Earth Planning Center.

It's impossible that the secret has gotten out as you claim.

I haven't breathed a word about its cancellation to anyone.

I am not doubting you, sir.

I just want to request an investigation of this man.

If the people learn that we're leaving Earth to its fate,

it will cause untold chaos.

But can we find Second Earth with only three years left?

How is the Leap Navigation research coming?

It's not yet complete.

What do the aliens want with a polluted Earth, anyway?

They seem to want to use the solar system, Earth included, as a base.

Director Schvidar of the Earth Defense Force.

What do you have to say on the matter?

First, have a look at these images.

This is what the Earth Defense Force has at its disposal.

But the aliens using Leap Navigation to enter our solar system

may possess science a thousand years beyond our own.

Our one advantage over them

is that they don't fully know the capabilities of Earth science.

Urgent news!

The space station around Neptune was just destroyed by a flying saucer!

What?

Any word?

They're gone.

"We pray for the peace of Earth. Goodbye."

That was the space station's final subspace transmission.

That was at 3:15...

It won't be long before the aliens reach Saturn.

They're losing no time in making their way to Earth.

What are we going to do?

What a problem to face!

There is only one thing we can do.

Oh. Section Chief Taira of the Government Regulation Center.

The aliens' technology is superior to ours.

But we might negotiate a peace treaty, even if it means our surrender.

No... it's not possible!

Have you gone mad?

You must not underestimate them!

I am not underestimating them.

You are!

Let's set that aside. Who would go to meet with the aliens?

I will go, as a representative of Earth.

No! You're walking to your death!

Someone has to try.

Even if it ends in failure.

He does have a point...

There's only one way to beat the aliens.

But...

Where shall we set the meeting?

If we send out a subspace transmission, the aliens should follow it.

I propose one of Saturn's moons.

Damn him!

Why won't he let me use Pegas?!

Pegas! Come to me!

Come to me, please!

How is it looking, Director?

You're not ready yet.

You can't be serious!

I feel fine! Please, let me go!

I want to become Tekkaman and guard Chief Taira!

Please!

Director! You're being a coward!

A coward?

Am I wrong?

You want Chief Taira to die for refusing to concede to your viewpoint!

Coward!

How dare you!

Do you feel better, now that you've hit me?

What?

The ship Red Papillon sets course for Saturn's moon, Mimas.

This will be the first conference held between aliens and Earthlings.

Destination: Point Theta-791.

Roger!

This is the place we set for the meeting, right?

Stop here.

We're representatives of the Earth. We wish to speak with you.

We've come to negotiate for peace!

Ah! Chief!

I've been waiting ever since I got your transmission.

I'm the leader of the Waldastar, Rambos.

We have come on behalf of the Earth to negotiate for peace—

Our people have no word for peace!

Even this moon belongs to the Waldastar.

Your graves will be in space.

Look out!

Stop this!

We're a peace delega—

Stupid Earthlings. I'll enjoy tightening the noose on them.

Oh my! Space Emperor Doblais!

I told you to capture their envoys to learn more about Earth's knowledge.

You've nothing to fear from Earth, Lord Doblais.

They don't even have Leap Navigation.

Just one look at their rockets and bases should make it very clear—

Fool!

Rambos, have you already forgotten the power that a Tekkaman wields?

I'm sorry! Forgive me!

I am ever your loyal servant, sir!

You are, it is true.

Then I will forgive you, just this once.

Y-Yes, Lord Doblais!

Director!

You're responsible for what happened to Chief Taira!

If you had let me become Tekkaman...

Chief Taira might be alive right now!

You disgust me.

Tekkaman does not belong to you.

He is the culmination of the whole planet's scientific prowess.

He belongs to humanity.

That is why his power cannot be used recklessly.

Excuses!

You sent Chief Taira into the jaws of death!

Nothing you say will change that!

Please! Stop saying those things!

Jouji...

There are many things you don't know about my father.

What?

Chief Taira was my father's first cousin.

It's all right, Hiromi.

You don't have to explain things to him.

Yes, I do!

Father wants you to become Tekkaman more than anything.

But it won't happen if you keep acting like a simple-minded barbarian!

What?!

Hit me if you want to!

That's exactly the kind of bully you've become!

You should go to her.

Flowers really are beautiful, aren't they?

Jouji... you...

I'm sorry, Hiromi.

The true sign of a protector of Earth, right?

Jouji...

Jouji, hold tight to the way you feel now.

Director!

Tekkaman's true power comes from a heart at peace with itself.

You understand, don't you?

Director, please forgive me.

Look there!

The truth is, I hoped you would pursue our dream of finding Second Earth.

But it seems your physique is uniquely receptive to Tekkaman's wavelength.

Father, is Jouji up to it?

His body has long since recovered.

I was just waiting for his mental strength to come to match it.

And he only found the courage to do it because you were with him, Hiromi.

I'm counting on you.

Yes, sir!

And so, the Blue Earth heads out once more.

We will soon see how a true Tekkaman protects the Earth.

Moving in pursuit of the savage Waldastar aliens,

the Blue Earth sets course for Point Theta-791.

May you find victory, Tekkaman.

Spaceships are approaching from Theta-7902.

There they are!

Jouji!

Hiromi!

Hiromi!

Okay...

Pegas! Tek Setter!

Roger!

Power Wrap!

Hiromi! Speak to me!

Hiromi!

Hiromi... I'm so glad you're safe.

You beat the aliens, didn't you?

You became Tekkaman and beat them?

You! When did you get here?

Jouji. I'm impressed.

But have a look at this.

How about we work together?

The ship's no good to you with a broken computer.

Just who are you?

I'm not your enemy. That's what matters.

Tch. You're really getting on my nerves.

But I guess we can't get back to Earth without you.

In exchange, how about this time you meet with Director Amachi,

and tell him everything you know?

To protect Earth from that band of evil rogues, sure.

No one knows how he got aboard,

yet Andro Umeda has appeared on the Blue Earth once more.

Just who is he?

And where will the Waldastar attack next?

The peril draws ever closer to Earth.

Can Tekkaman protect Earth and the entire solar system?

Go forth, Tekkaman! The Space Knight!

Director Amachi has invented a Leap Navigation machine

which allows instantaneous travel across the universe.

This device could allow the Space Development Center

to move ahead with the Space Pioneer Project.

Learning of it, the Waldastar unleash the Space Ninja and aim to destroy the machine.

Desperate to protect the Leap Navigation machine, Tekkaman flies into space!

Next time, on Space Knight Tekkaman:

The Shadow-Hunting Aliens!

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!

Taiyou 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
