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!

Space Knight! Space Knight Tekkaman!

Uchuu no kishi uchuu no kishi Tekkaman

Rambos, the leader of the Stellar Rogue Cluster Waldastar,

has faced defeat by Tekkaman and the Space Knights time and again.

Burning with hatred,

he gathers together all of Waldastar's battle-ready spacecraft,

and prepares for a decisive battle.

We'll destroy that impertinent Tekkaman once and for all!

We just need to attack him again and again and again and again!

Lord Rambos!

Let us Tortoisians, known for our dauntless courage, make up your front lines.

Very well! Cause as much destruction as you like!

You fool!

What was that?

Who permitted you to take such action on your own?

Lord Doblais! You must know that my pride is—

No one cares about your pride.

To win in a battle, you must know your enemy.

I have a fine idea.

The Plan to Destroy Humanity

Come on!

Oh? What's that?

What is it?

Wow! There are so many!

Amazing! Hey, guys, let's go see!

There they are!

Wait for me!

How fun!

Got you!

It's so cute! I wonder what it is!

As Earth entered the 21st century,

most insects had gone extinct from pollution and pesticide use,

so many children have never seen a bug.

I'll need to think up a name for you!

That's it! How about Chiki?

What are you doing?

Gargling.

Why do you do that?

Because it's dirty outside.

Is the Earth that dirty?

Hey, Chiki, you'd better not talk in front of Mom and Dad.

They'd probably be shocked and not let me take care of you!

Very well. I will do my best not to be caught.

In exchange, please tell me more about humans.

I would like to know more about humans.

You're so well-behaved, Chiki!

What is it?

Look at the screen!

We've picked up a ton of subspace radio waves!

I can't believe it.

Why so many subspace transmissions at once?

Damn Waldastar. What are they planning this time?

Director Amachi!

We've received reports of a new insect species appearing in large numbers.

In addition, strange things are happening all over the world!

Here are the pictures.

I've never seen bugs like these before.

The eyes and antennae are very developed.

Could it be because of the pollution?

What is this?

The bugs seem to have a tremendous ability to detect danger, and when they do,

they release a shock, powerful even to adults.

The subspace radio wave bursts...

And the curious incident of the electricity-emitting bugs.

We'll need to investigate this.

Space Knights! Gather intelligence quickly.

Roger!

Roger!

So cute! Look at it!

Hey! Give back my Chiki!

What's your name, dear?

Lala.

Lala, is it? Could I have a look at your bug?

Sure! That's okay!

But give him back soon!

Yes!

Drop that bug!

He might be a spy sent here by aliens!

All of you, drop them!

They're our bugs! You'd better not bother them!

Yeah! You'd better not!

Drop them or I'll shoot.

Andro, stop it.

But if we let this go on, the children will be in danger, too!

Lala, look closely.

Jouji! Stop it!

Watch, all of you!

These bugs are dangerous!

Drop them, now!

Do not worry. I will not hurt you.

I want to be your friend, Lala.

Jouji! Speak to me, Jouji!

Jouji! Jouji, speak to me!

Jouji! Jouji!

There's no need to worry now.

We should be safe inside this halo.

Hey, Lala. What are you going to do?

It's okay! We'll be with you, remember?

Yeah...

Now...

Chiki!

Chiki!

Chiki! What's wrong?

It's okay. Just give me a moment.

As I thought.

This is a machine!

And it's being controlled remotely!

So Chiki was a machine made by aliens?

That's right. This room doesn't allow outside transmissions to get in.

So when cut off from the remote control, Chiki became immobile.

So I can't play with Chiki anymore?

I'm sorry, Lala.

This machine has a device that can emit killer lasers!

So they could switch over to killer lasers at any time?

This is getting dangerous.

They've spread all over the planet, right?

When they switch to the killer lasers, humanity could be destroyed.

Director! Is there nothing we can do?

There's one thing. But we might not make it in time.

What is it?

We have to destroy what's controlling them.

But it's strange. Why don't they switch over right away?

They must have another objective.

When that's achieved, they'll be switched over.

Move out at once.

We'll trace the subspace transmissions to find the controller's location.

Roger!

Roger!

What are the Waldastar planning?

In this huge universe,

finding the controller would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

But we'll find them! No matter what it takes!

When returning home after being outside, they rinse their mouths,

and wash their hands before dinner.

This is due to the air being dirtied by pollution.

They eat three times per day.

Food is the source of the Earthlings' energy.

They play something called "sports" to force their bodies to develop.

It is for personal glory.

The Earth Defense Force possesses 650 missiles.

One Waldastar armada could destroy them in 30 minutes.

It seems like you've gotten a lot of information about Earth.

Yes. According to the data retrieved so far, we can handle the Earthlings.

They do many pointless things, like going to the bathroom constantly.

Very well. Continue.

Sir!

Lord Rambos! You've learned all there is to know about Earthlings!

We should mount the attack right now!

But that would be defying Lord Doblais's orders.

Then we Tortoisians will attack alone.

If we take the Earth, Lord Doblais will be pleased, after all.

And Lord Rambos will receive the credit.

Credit, eh?

As a last resort, you can always switch the bug machines over to killer laser mode.

Lord Rambos, it's time you got the credit you deserved!

Very well! Do it!

Immediately, sir!

Wait!

What is it?

Listen. If you succeed in taking Earth, this was all my idea.

But if you fail, then you did this on your own.

I'll engage the killer lasers in order to save you.

Understood. I await your announcement.

Lord Doblais is too cautious.

Space fleet sighted three degrees to the right ahead.

Distance: 22,000 kilometers.

Put it on the display screen!

Roger!

Do you think they're heading for Earth?

No, here.

What is it? Wanna fight 'em?

Our mission was to destroy the place they're controlling the bugs from!

Mootan is right!

We should avoid unnecessary fights!

But if they take the Earth, a lot of people will die.

They're coming. We don't have any more time to argue.

Photon Cannons, standby!

G-Field Engine damaged.

Cannot maintain artificial gravity.

All right!

Pegas!

Roger!

Pegas! Tek Setter!

Tek Lancer!

Did you see how tough Tortoisian special alloy BBM-103 is?

Now! Turn Tekkaman and Pegas into space dust!

Tek Lancer!

Tek Win!

Stupid Tekkaman! Not again!

What are you doing? Pile on the attack, idiots!

What?

I-Idiots! Don't come this way! They'll learn the location of the space fortress!

Don't come here!

I'll be scolded by Lord Doblais again! Stay away!

Oh, that's it!

Remote Control ship! Switch the bug robots over to killer lasers!

Send Earth into chaos!

Force Tekkaman and the Space Knights to retreat!

Roger!

Curse you!

Director, we've pinpointed the location of the remote control ship.

The location is Point Theta-845, Phi-0525.

I see. Very well!

Director Amachi.

Awful news. The bugs...

What? Is it the killer lasers?

Space Knights! We have the remote controller's location!

The location is point Theta-845, Phi-0525.

Please hurry!

Earth is currently falling into chaos! Location is point Theta-845, Phi-0525!

Tekkaman's transformation energy lasts for only 37 minutes 33 seconds.

If he exceeds that time by even 0.1 seconds, Tekkaman will die.

It's no use!

I don't have the power to fight any longer!

But the Earth will be in danger if I don't!

I'll have to take a one in a million shot!

Let's go! Voltekka!

He did it! He did it!

But I'm worried about Jouji...

The subspace waves have disappeared!

Yes! We've done it! Hooray!

But what of Tekkaman?

Please be safe, Tekkaman!

Jouji!

Jouji!

Hey! Jouji! Speak to me, Jouji!

T-The Voltekka...

It worked! You hit the remote control ship brilliantly!

Thank goodness!

Are you okay?

I'm just fine.

Tekkaman is...

Tekkaman is invincible!

That's right!

Grab on to me.

Thank you.

What's this now?

Anyway, try to rest for now.

My, my. It's getting hot in here.

It's because of Tekkaman's hard work that we can return to our beloved Earth.

Jouji, you did well.

Space Knights... thank you.

Fool!

You relied upon only superficial data.

N-No, sir! The Tortoisians ran off on their own, I merely tried to save...

I don't need your excuses!

The dormant abilities of Earthlings...

Their intelligence, education, evolution, and science skills...

There was much more to learn.

And you ruined it all!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Forgive me! Please!

With life or death stakes, Tekkaman's Voltekka stopped Rambos's plans.

Wounded and gasping, the Blue Earth heads for Earth.

Don't lose to Waldastar's invasion! Tekkaman! The Space Knight!

The Micro Anteans

With his space lighthouse tests completed, Dr. Tsumura's family returned to Earth.

His daughter, Yuriko, and her best friend, Hiromi, are happily reunited.

But Yuriko's body is infiltrated and controlled by Waldastar's Micro Anteans.

They create tiny saucers to attack Tekkaman,

attacking sometimes combined, other times as a sandstorm.

What is the final technique Tekkaman will use to fight the Micro Anteans?

Next time, on Space Knight Tekkaman:

The Micro Anteans!

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
