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 Transport K-432

What? Director Amachi?

What happened?!

What's wrong?

I understand.

A Waldastar spy attacked the Director.

What? My father?

Luckily, he wasn't injured.

Hiromi!

As an alien, Andro possesses many mysterious abilities.

By communing with the space around the site of the incident,

he can learn exactly how Director Amachi was attacked just minutes earlier.

This is known as postcognition or "residual field reading."

This way, eh?

Looks like a child.

Andro!

Mootan!

Can you trace these footprints?

I sure can, easy!

That's him!

It can't be!

That boy can't be a Waldastar spy. There must be some mistake!

What, are you saying I got it wrong?

Not at all. It's just hard to believe.

Fine! I'm going home!

Mootan!

Hey.

So, you're the one who went after Director Amachi?

What's your name?

Where are you from?

Do you go to school?

You made this yourself, didn't you?

Don't touch it!

What a nasty little brat.

What possessed you to turn this archaic thing against the Director, eh?

Talk!

Hey, Andro. Stop it.

You must have some reason for hating me.

Won't you tell me what it is?

Please take this boy to the police.

Yes, sir.

D-Director! You can't do that!

You can't turn him over to the police.

The poor little thing!

She's right!

Kids like him have to continue space development after we're gone.

We'll need kids like him, some day.

If we treat them this way, won't they just rebel against us?

If kids can't get behind the International Space Development Center, the Earth is done for.

Sooner or later, it'll fall to the Waldastar.

Hear me, elite soldiers of the Waldastar Command Division!

The time has come to execute my brilliant invasion plan!

This plan is foolproof.

If it fails, it will be because of your incompetence.

Now, move out!

Wait a moment!

Could you let us speak to that boy?

But the Director's orders...

It won't be any trouble. We just need a minute.

Director. We're here at the front gate, and...

Very well. Leave him to Jouji and Hiromi.

Have the police look into the boy's identity instead.

Sir.

It's amazing!

You know a lot about spaceships, don't you.

Yeah. I even made this model myself!

Really? That's a model of the Space Angel, isn't it?

What's wrong?

Is there something wrong with the Space Angel?

Shut up! Who needs your stupid spaceships?

It's because they make these stupid things...

Because they make these stupid things...!

Stop that!

Stop complaining about things you know nothing about!

Don't you know how much blood and sweat went into making this ship?!

I do know!

But on board the Space Angel... my papa...

My papa was killed!

Papa! Don't go!

You can't go! Papa!

Now, Seiichi. I don't want to leave you and your mother either.

But for the sake of mankind, someone must explore this great cosmos of ours.

No! It doesn't have to be you, papa.

Seiichi, don't argue with your father, now.

Seiichi, I promise I'll be back.

Be good to your mother while I'm gone, now.

Papa! Don't go!

Come back!

PAPA!

I understand now.

But you're still wrong.

You just don't know what it's like in space.

Target sighted. It's a large Earth transport ship.

Right. All units, commence jamming!

Prepare for attack!

Attack!

The Waldastar squadron attacked the Earth space transport K-432.

The transport erected its barrier and prepared to retreat.

But the squadron is falling upon it like a pack of wolves,

and it won't be long before the barrier is destroyed.

In addition, the enemy's jamming waves prevent it from communicating with Earth.

Right! Begin combination!

Our destination is the Uranus Space Station!

Let's go!

Uranus.

A planet with a diameter four times that of the Earth,

and a methane atmosphere that lends it a faint green cast.

Five small moons orbit the planet.

There is also a station built by the Space Development Center.

Space transport K-432 is approaching.

One minute until arrival.

Roger.

Who are—

Lord Rambos! The invasion was a complete success!

We've taken the station dock!

Only the dock? You fool!

I don't want to hear from you until the station is destroyed!

Sir. Please forgive me.

Now, to organize our second and third battle lines in preparation for Tekkaman's arrival!

You don't want to be a space pilot like your father, then?

Nope.

Is that really what your father would want?

My papa didn't really want to go!

You think so?

It's true!

Jouji. I'm ordering an emergency launch.

The Uranus space station is under attack by a Waldastar command squadron.

What?!

It's only a matter of time before the station falls into their hands.

Are reinforcements on their way?

They're moving in at full speed from a nearby base.

Wait a minute.

I've just received a report.

What is it, Director?

A fleet of small Waldastar spacecraft were lying in wait for them.

They destroyed them all.

Let's go, Jouji.

Wait a minute!

Let's let the boy off first.

We don't have time for that.

You can't expect us to take him along!

Which is more important? One boy's life, or the station?

Both!

You're too soft, as always.

Andro!

It's not as if the Waldastar are going to hold their attacks and wait for us.

I hope that Seiichi will be all right.

He's my treasure... the last gift my husband gave me.

If something were to happen to him, I...

No need to worry, ma'am.

The space knight Tekkaman is with him.

Tekkaman?

Yes. He's a hero who upholds justice in the universe.

What is that stuff?

The Earth Defense Force rockets!

My papa...

My papa is in pieces like this, out in the darkness of space?

It's because they make these stupid things!

If there were no spaceships, papa wouldn't have been killed!

Give me back my papa!

Stop acting like a spoiled child.

You're not the only one who lost a father on the Space Angel.

My father was on that ship, too.

Your father was too, Jouji?

But unlike you, I don't blame other people for my father's death.

I know that my father died to save the Earth.

The stars shining in the cosmos mark my father's grave.

When I'm sad, I look to those stars.

When I'm suffering, I look to those stars.

In the light of those stars, my father is always smiling.

He's always watching over me.

Those stars are my father's grave?

Seiichi. I promise I'll be back.

I promise I'll be back.

I promise I'll be back.

Papa!

Small enemy spacecraft approaching.

Here they come!

Cut the gravitational thrusters.

Switch to photonic engines and put the photon cannon on standby!

Fire!

Second wave of small enemy spacecraft approaching.

What?

They're the ones that attacked the station.

I want you to watch and think about the danger Earth would be in without us.

Andro, take care of things here.

Roger.

Pegas!

Roger.

Tek Setter!

Is that...

That's the space knight, Tekkaman!

Tekkaman!

Jouji is...

Oh no! That's an enemy carrier ship!

Power generator damaged. Photon weaponry offline.

What?

Andro! We have to let Tekkaman know!

We don't have time.

What's gonna happen to us? Are they gonna get us?

I don't want to die!

I wanna go home to Earth!

Hey kid. Can you use this?

Yeah, I'm a crack shot.

Good.

What are you doing, Andro?

I never thought this toy would come in handy.

This device emits a powerful magnetic field.

Listen, kid.

If you want to get back to Earth, you must hit that ship.

It doesn't matter where.

What if I miss?

We'll be blown into space dust.

And we'll rest for eternity in the stars, just like your papa.

Get out of here, you stupid aliens!

Get out of our solar system!

Get out!!!

This is the command squadron! This is the command squadron!

Lord Rambos!

It's about time!

Did you take the space station? Did you defeat Tekkaman?

N-Not exactly, sir.

T-That bastard Tekkaman...

Tekkaman...

Tekkaman! I'm gonna become a spaceship pilot!

Tekkaman's actions have brought hope to a young boy's closed heart.

Watched over by the stars that mark his fathers grave,

some day, he may sail the solar system and beyond.

Continue your quest for Second Earth.

Go forth, Tekkaman!

The Space Knight!

The Man-Eating Space Plant

The trees and grass thought destroyed by pollution have revived in a day.

Has Earth's greenery been reborn?

However, it turns out to be a deadly Waldastar man-eating plant.

The grass spreads, preying upon the people as they flee in terror.

At last, it comes for Tekkaman and the Space Knights.

Next time^, on Space Knight Tekkaman:

The Man-Eating Space Plant.

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
