Moero taiyou kakero Tekkaman

The Waldastar are there, scheming in the dark!

If we can complete this experimental Leap Navigation device and put it to use,

our Space Pioneer Project will take a huge leap forward.

Fantastic!

Amazing!

I assume all is proceeding smoothly with the machine's construction?

Yes, sir. It's almost complete.

We'll install it on the large spaceship in development

at the space dock near Jupiter's moon, Ganymede.

Then, we'll be all clear for a trial run in space.

This is the space dock on Ganymede's orbital track.

But space is truly vast. We still have a long road ahead of us.

What was that?

Are my eyes playing tricks on me?

Or, could it be...

Rambos, the Earthlings have invented a machine capable of Leap Navigation.

What? Really?

T-That can't be!

There's no Earthling capable of that! It's quite out of the question!

Do not underestimate Earthlings, Rambos.

You must destroy that machine before it makes trouble for us.

Then, you must eliminate its inventor, Amachi.

Give the order to our spy on Earth!

But it's simply unbelievable!

Earth couldn't have a scientist that brilliant!

Stop complaining and do it!

Yes, sir!

The Shadow-Hunting Alien!

Where is the Blue Earth?

It will be returning shortly.

I see.

Director.

Earlier, we picked up a subspace communication wave on a cycle different from the one we use.

What? Really?

Have a look. We recorded it in our database.

We've analyzed it and determined that it came from a point near this base.

First that blue shadow, now this subspace communication...

If a Waldastar spy has infiltrated our base, we may be in grave danger.

Attention, crew of the Blue Earth.

Please report to Director Amachi's laboratory immediately!

Roger!

This time, Andro, would you mind telling the director everything you know?

About the Waldastar, you mean?

Yeah.

If I feel like it, sure.

What?!

That's enough already.

Are you trying to start another fight?

In order to prevent spies from infiltrating the International Space Center,

the facility requires strict fingerprint checks conducted with lasers.

However...

Ah? Andro's gone missing.

He gave us the slip again, huh?

He's almost like a ninja!

He really is!

It's you, then?

The one who knew about the Waldastar attacks on the Space Angel and the station,

and the fact that the Clean Earth Plan was cancelled?

Huh?

Andro! When did you...

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

But how did you learn about it?

I used my psychic powers.

Andro! Answer him seriously!

Calm down, already.

And you used these psychic powers to infiltrate the Blue Earth, as well?

Yeah, you could say that.

Yeah, right. Like I'd believe that!

I don't really care if you believe it or not.

What?!

That's enough, both of you!

These are not normal human readings.

This man... He couldn't be...

But there's no way he could have been serving on the Blue Earth with Jouji

and acting as a spy here at the same time.

Anyway, you should know why I called you here.

We're about to complete a Leap Navigation machine.

Really? A Leap Navigation machine?

Really, Father?

Hmm.

We just have to perform a test run in space.

Leap Navigation...

That's what lets us travel faster than the speed of light, right?

That's the long and short of it.

Actually...

Let me give you a simple walkthrough.

When a spaceship moving from point A to point B

uses the Leap Navigation machine attached to its gravitational thrusters,

it first compresses the space in between points A and B,

folding it over and over, as if drawing a curtain.

This instantly brings points A and B closer together.

You can then break through these dimensional folds to arrive at point B.

By repeating this over and over,

you can get to stars thousands of light years away, faster than light.

This is known as Leap Navigation!

Incredible!

Congratulations, Father!

Thank you both.

Of course, that's only the theory.

It means nothing until we run practical tests in space.

Yeah, better run lots of experiments. That should reduce the casualties.

Andro! What do you mean by that?

The shock of passing through so many spacial folds will kill everyone on board the ship.

You should consider doing it with fewer folds.

That will ease the shock.

Then you can travel the distance with much less trouble.

What was that? Don't run your mouth about things you don't understand!

Jouji, he is correct.

Unfortunately, I could only discover an equation with many folds in space.

That's fine. These things don't come easy.

Andro.

Are you saying you know the proper equation?

Don't be silly! I'm no scientist.

Andro knows more advanced Leap Navigation machines than the one I came up with.

He could be an alien from a civilization far advanced from our own.

Incidentally, in addition to you three and the station staff,

someone else knows about the Leap Navigation machine we're developing.

What did you say?

Earlier, when the staff and I were preparing for the test run,

I noticed a blue gaseous form in the room.

That's not all.

Soon after, the control room picked up an unidentified subspace communication.

In other words, there's a Waldastar spy somewhere inside this base.

What? Inside the base?

I'd like the three of you to act covertly to sniff out the spy.

What are these things?

Space bazookas.

Space bazookas?

Yes.

One by itself only has enough power to blow up a car,

but putting two together increases that power tenfold.

Please use them only for self-defense.

Neat! Just like a toy.

Andro, you rat.

Where did you sneak off to?

Silly Jouji. He seemed so sure that the spy would come to this room...

Someone's in the laboratory locker!

The spy might have fallen for our trap!

Tch, he got away.

Hiromi!

Hiromi! Speak to me!

If the spy is on to us...

He must have been after the plans for the Leap Navigation machine!

It's no use! He fried them!

Damn...

Andro! Was it you?

Quit accusing innocent people, you pea brain.

What?!

Stay down! You have to rest.

He's got a soft spot for women, at least.

Director!

Father!

I'm safe.

But look there.

That is the true form of that alien spy.

Did you beat it, Father?

No. It wasn't me.

Andro! You did this?

What's wrong? Something weird about that?

Sorry to betray your expectations.

I beg your forgiveness, Lord Doblais.

The spy I sent to infiltrate the International Space Center has been killed!

Is this true?

Regrettably so...

To have killed our spy, there must be a formidable foe to be found on Earth.

No, sir, I don't think that's true.

Our spy was a bit slow-witted, you see—

Fool!

You must now wait for Amachi to reach the space dock and destroy him there.

The Leap Navigation machine was completed and loaded onto the Blue Earth,

which headed for the space dock with Director Amachi on board for the trial run.

At the space dock, the Leap Navigation machine was attached to the ship's main control unit.

It was only a matter of time before the test run would begin.

Meanwhile, Jouji and friends were in a state of readiness aboard the space ship Blue Earth.

However...

Jouji! We have an object closing in from point Theta-45, Phi-38!

What?

It's moving so quickly! It's not a meteor?

No, that's the Waldastar.

It's a carrier spacecraft.

The Waldastar?

All right. Hiromi, you protect the Director.

Okay!

I'll become Tekkaman and fight with Pegas.

Andro! You should...

I'll fight the Waldastar, obviously.

No. Protect the machine!

Defense corps, take your positions!

This is a message from the director to the test pilots!

Get clear of the dock as quickly as possible!

I-It's the Waldastar!

Jouji, launch Pegas!

Roger!

Pegas! Tek Setter!

Power Wrap!

Director! It's dangerous here!

We must evacuate!

I'll be fine. You get to safety!

Father!

Look out!

You have to get out of here!

No. I can't just abandon it.

The Leap Navigation machine!

Wretched vermin of the cosmos.

Pegas! The carrier!

Roger!

Lord Rambos! Tekkaman is coming straight for us!

What? Tekkaman?!

Just try it, Tekkaman! I'll turn you into interstellar scrap!

Put up the halo barrier!

Fantastic.

A Leap Navigation-capable carrier.

Once I take it, I can kiss the Earth goodbye.

Shield Beam!

Run away!

Tch.

Damn Tekkaman. Ruining my best-laid plans.

Pegas! Set Return!

Roger!

You may have destroyed the machine, but it means nothing.

Amachi survives.

Do you think he will not create a new Leap Navigation machine?

Ah?! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

I am ever your loyal servant, sir!

I will forgive you, just this once.

But we did acquire something of use.

We now know Tekkaman is built into the robot that launched from their spaceship.

You will see, Tekkaman.

I shall soon ascertain your true identity.

I'm safe...

Blast!

Even as Tekkaman, I couldn't protect the Leap Navigation machine.

Andro! What were you doing back there?!

Jouji, blaming others accomplishes nothing.

We should be grateful that we survived.

The machine was destroyed, true.

But as long as I'm alive, I can always make a new one.

Andro, I'd like your assistance as well. Do you mind?

He's an enigmatic one, but he could do a great deal for us.

However...

Director Amachi did not know what kind of man Andro was,

but he was willing to believe that he could aid the Space Center.

And so he accepted him into the Space Center's staff,

secretly hoping to place him on a team with Jouji and Hiromi.

Go forth, Tekkaman! The Space Knight!

The Waldastar have advanced deep into the solar system.

They have sent a new space robot to Earth.

On Director Amachi's orders, Tekkaman, Hiromi, Andro and the robot Pegas join together

along with the newly arrived space mutant Mootan to form the Space Knights team.

At last, Andro's secret is revealed.

Next time, on Space Knight Tekkaman:

The Birth of the Space Knights!

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
