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

Jupiter.

Amidst its twelve orbiting moons,

Rambos, the leader of Earth's invaders, the Waldastar, hides his large carrier fortress.

We're all ready to start building our base on Earth.

We'll put it in the Uranda Highlands in Ameripan.

It's Earth's largest source of natural resources.

Taking the Uranda Highlands would deal a serious blow to the Earthlings.

Very well.

If you succeed at this plan, I will forgive your earlier failings.

Yes Sir! Leave it to me.

The Shinobi-I Space Ninjas

Director! What has happened to the Clean Earth Project?!

Director!

It hasn't been canceled.

I'm still researching it.

You can't fool me! I'm your assistant director!

The Earth has only three years left! Why aren't you doing everything you can?!

I am doing everything I can!

But...

Mr. Blaine, there are aliens after us.

They might destroy us before we can clean up the Earth.

I knew it.

You have canceled the Clean Earth Project!

Just as I suspected!

Mr. Blaine!

I've given my life to this research! All to save the Earth!

And yet you've abandoned me — abandoned all of Earth's people!

That's not true.

We're searching fiercely for a path to survival.

We're using every hour our dying planet has to find a way to save ourselves.

Director! What is your duty to this institute?

Isn't it to see this project succeed?

Yet you let Amachi at the Development Center trick you—

Silence!

Mr. Amachi is an excellent scientist!

The Space Development Center is looking for a planet to replace Earth!

That's why they need our research to fail!

It's true!

I understand how you feel, but you're wrong.

Mr. Blaine...

Are you so desperate to clean up Earth that you'll hand it over to aliens?

I am!

Mr. Blaine, you can't mean—

I love the Earth! If I die here, I'll be satisfied.

What will I do with him?

I pray he won't do something foolish.

Damn!

How could I have worked for that stubborn old man?

All I want is to live on Earth.

I'll do whatever it takes to make that happen.

What's that?

What did you say?

Everyone's living in fear of the aliens.

It must be awful for them.

They know there's nowhere we can run from aliens.

It can't stay like this.

It feels like the calm before the storm.

It's only a matter of time.

If they learn the Earth is on a path to self-destruction...

Don't say that! Someone might hear you!

Don't say that, dummy!

I just hope nothing terrible happens.

What?

What's going on?

What is all this?

Director! The people in the city...

What just happened?

Someone leaked the cancellation of the Clean Earth Project.

What?!

That, on top of the aliens appearing,

has eroded their faith in Earth's science.

We're starting to see rioting around the world.

W-Who let the secret out?

I don't know.

Andro. You said something odd, before.

What was it?

You said something about something terrible happening.

How did you know?!

Jouji, do you think that I did this?

It wasn't me!

Then why did you say that?

You knew about the Project's cancellation from the start!

You decided to reveal it for some reason! Admit it!

Stop it, Jouji!

Please, don't fight!

Don't fight!

Tell me!

What's going on in that head of yours?!

Stop it.

I see. You suspect me, too?

I guess the Space Knights are through, then.

You're quick to suspect aliens, but do you really find humans so admirable?

Where has trusting humans gotten you, exactly?

Who is it rioting over Earth having only three years left?

Given the choice, I'd pick aliens any day.

Andro! Wait!

Wait, Andro!

Something you need?

I know how you feel, Andro.

But won't you come back to the Space Knights?

Don't worry. I wouldn't leave you behind.

We're fellow Sannonites, after all.

That's good!

But.

But what?

I'm not coming back until I find the true culprit.

Andro...

I made Andro mad.

Director, I...

What should we do?

Andro will return.

I had many fights when I was your age, too.

Fighting is one method young people use to understand each other.

If, after you fight, your bonds become stronger, it won't be for nothing.

For now, though, we must work to stop the rioting.

Thanks to you, the project's going very well.

You need to increase the scope of the rioting!

But I'm afraid!

What's all this, now?

I'm starting to regret telling you about the Clean Earth Project's cancellation.

I... as an Earthling, I...

Listen. If we manage to complete our base during all the rioting,

we'll be happy to leave you to your Clean Earth Project.

What? R-Really?!

Why would I lie?

You've done so much for us, after all.

I-I'll do it!

I just want to clean up the Earth! I love Earth more than anyone!

Very well! Now, incite your friends and expand the scope of the rioting!

Go!

Y-Yes, sir!

What a stupid scientist.

Look at him trip over himself for his research.

Are the Space Ninja Shinobi-I here?!

Sir! Right here!

You are to go and capture Kling.

I can't believe you brought that little nothing here!

This time, I'll have no mistakes!

Sir! Shinobino!

Once the state of panic was triggered, it escalated beyond all comprehension.

If this goes any further, the consequences could be dire! Fire on anyone who resists us!

Listen, everyone! The invading aliens are nothing to fear!

Please, put down your weapons!

There's nothing more tragic than when Earthlings fight each other!

Move! How could you possibly understand how we feel?

Lay down your weapons, now!

My baby! My baby!

My baby!

My baby...

Do you really find humans so admirable?

Do you?!

What's that?

A saucer.

It's heading for the planning center!

W-Who are you people?!

We're Waldastar Space Ninjas!

Come with us!

If you resist, we'll kill you!

Space Ninjas?!

You'd better not try to fight us!

Now, quiet down and come with us!

Wait!

Who's there?!

What? You failed?!

Fools! The rioting will die down while you waste my time!

Rally the Steelians and depart for the Uranda Highlands.

Get Blaine and the other Earth traitors to assemble there!

You are to use them as a shield!

Sir! Shinobino!

Hmm? What is it?

Who are you?!

It seems your big plan is out.

T-The Sannonite!

That's right.

Now, Rambos, leader of the Waldastar who killed my comrades...

I will end you!

You've got guts, coming here alone.

But I'll send you to join your friends in hell!

Wait!

Take him, Steelians!

Tear that man to shreds!

This isn't over, Rambos.

I'm going to take my revenge!

Don't let him get away, Steelians!

If he gets back to Earth, he'll tell the Space Knights all about our plan!

That's no good. I can't lose them in this saucer.

Let's see, the transmitter is...

Here?

Director! Director Amachi! Do you read me?

Mr. Amachi! I'm sorry to worry you!

Are you all right?

I'm just fine.

More importantly, did you find who leaked the Clean Earth Project's cancellation?

Yes, well...

Is that true, Director?

Who was it?

I'll tell you later. For now...

Please tell me, Mr. Amachi.

If... If it was someone from my institute...

I suppose there's no use hiding it.

It was your assistant director.

Blaine!

It wasn't Andro, then?

Andro told me everything.

To clear his name, he infiltrated Rambos's spaceship alone.

But Director, where is Andro?

The transmission cut off.

Cut off?

Y-You don't think Andro was...

I'm worried, too.

But for now...

Jouji, hurry to the Uranda Highlands.

Andro said the Waldastar are building a base there to paralyze Earth's capabilities.

Roger!

Wait a minute!

Please. Blaine is not a bad man.

He loves the Earth in his own way. That's why he was led astray.

Please. Save Blaine.

I want to bring him around to the light.

Please.

Director Kling...

I understand where you're coming from.

But Blaine aside, the people would have had to learn about this eventually.

We'll do everything we can. Leave it to us.

Thank you.

I'm counting on you, too.

Roger!

Power Wrap!

Where do you think you're going? It's dangerous here!

Destroy the Space Knights! They're trying to make us abandon the Earth!

No! Wait, please! Listen to me!

Drop your guns!

Shut up! The Waldastar promised us!

They'd leave the Earth to us!

We don't want some Second Earth!

We love this Earth!

I know! But right now—

Shut up! Take this!

Stop it!

Listen to me! Listen!

Please, drop your guns.

To see Earthlings fight each other is just what the Waldastar want!

Now, Steelians!

Initiate a concentrated attack on Tekkaman!

What are you doing? Are you trying to kill us?!

My condolences.

Hurry!

Thank you.

It's dangerous to stay here!

Quickly! This way!

Damn, accursed Tekkaman!

Withdraw, Steelians!

Thank goodness.

We kept the damage to a minimum.

I don't know what would have happened if not for Andro.

Andro...

M-Mr. Minami...

Mr. Blaine.

Earth is for its people to protect.

Director Kling was worried about you.

I... I've been so wrong.

Let's both do our best.

The Earth belongs to us!

Director! Did you say that Andro is back?

Yes. But let him rest for now.

Teleporting from outside the atmosphere exhausted him tremendously.

Don't look so down. He'll be better, soon.

What's wrong, Jouji?

I'm going to wait here until Andro recovers.

I said terrible things to him.

I want to apologize.

Earthlings and Sannonites.

Jouji views aliens as the enemy, and Andro longs to return to his home planet.

Though both are members of the Space Knights, a thick wall divides them.

However, they both possess hearts that burn for justice.

Andro and Jouji both feel that this incident has drawn them closer.

Shatter the Waldastar's ambitions!

Build a brilliant new world, Space Knights!

Kindle the flame of Earth's hope!

The Space Knight, Tekkaman!

Tsumetaku kanashii uchuu no tatakai da

And yet, my heart still burns

Dakedo kokoro wa moeteiru

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

The heroes of the sun!
