Somebody's wounded soul is

burning in the lonely sky.

And eyes that have never known love...

...seek the reason hidden in the dark.

Tekkaman Blade

Just hold me close, and tell me how you feel.

As tears fall from your eyes for no reason

Love is endless violence... and this entire world...

...will be embraced by its last brilliance.

Ah... Who needs yesterday...

The Orbital Ring System is a giant satellite base surrounding the earth.

It is a port terminal linking Earth to outer space, while also serving as...

...the gateway to planetary exploration.

It boasts many facilities, including ports for large-scale spaceships...

...an industrial complex, civilian housing, a military base...

...everything necessary for human life.

You could almost call it a small nation unto itself.

It's equipped with Orbital Elevators, placed across a wide area...

...giving people easy access without having to board a spaceship.

After it was completed, the Earth's major industries and commerce...

...moved operations to space, thus erasing all environmental concerns.

But mankind's prosperity was suddenly interrupted by alien attacks.

It is the year 192, by the Allied Earth Calendar.

Trapped on the ground...

...mankind has no way of avoiding the attacks from the Orbital Ring.

The land has been gutted, and cities have been destroyed.

The earth is steadily heading toward ruin.

It was around this time that...

...he appeared.

THE D-BOY FILE

No way am I gonna die now!

It's not... it's not time for me to die yet!

What?

Noal!

Is that an alien?

A human being?

Could he...

...could he really be a human being?

A young man who fell from the sky.

He doesn't remember his name or past. He's lost all of his memories.

It was this boy who told us the enemy attacking Earth are called "Radam."

Thank goodness!

Ouch!

Don't move!

Are you the Radam or Earthlings?

Huh?

Answer me!

The Radam? What are those?

Radam are aliens! They've occupied the Orbital Ring.

D-Boy... after witnessing his reckless actions, we came to...

...call him D-Boy, short for Dangerous Boy.

D-Boy tried to take the Blue Earth, the only spaceship left in the world...

...in order to go to the Orbital Ring.

Well, uh, turn to the left at the end of the hall and go right and then...

Uh... go straight...

Thanks.

Is this it?

Let's go!

Orbital Ring, huh?

Damn you! Orbital Ring, my ass!

You've got a lot of nerve! Turn back right now!

Hey! Did you hear what I said?

It's a laser attack!

What's that?

Dammit, they're coming!

Hey, it's up to you now!

What did you say?

Dammit, cut the crap right now!

You think you can just do whatever you feel like?

We can't go back now.

Do as I say if you don't want to die!

Hey, where are you going?

You idiot! We're in outer space. Step outside and you're dead!

I won't die.

Or maybe I should say I can't die!

Tek-setter!

W-What's that!

D-Boy!

Tekkaman Blade!

Here I come, Radam!

We were astonished to see Tekkaman's power, far greater than...

...that of any human being.

And we were astonished to discover that it was this...

...young man who had transformed into the armed Tekkaman.

Noal! We'll collide with the Orbital Ring!

Damn! Oh, hell!

Look! It's the spaceport!

We lucked out!

Hey, Aki, check to see what kind of shape we're in, will you?

Roger!

Huh?

Damn, they just won't give up, will they?

D-Boy!

After destroying the Radam monsters, D-Boy returned to Earth.

We immediately subjected him to a physical examination.

...skeletal structure and internal organs are all normal.

Everything is just the same as any ordinary human being...

...except this crystal substance that we cannot identify.

It's unbelievable. Where does he get all that power from?

This must mean that his secret lies in that system box of his.

Probably...

Our tests yielded surprising results...

...that in fact D-Boy's body was that of a normal human being.

I'd like to explain how the Tekkaman transformation system works...

...from my point of view.

D-Boy first transforms into host body mode by calling out "Tek-setter".

Next, the crystalline material D-Boy possesses begins to change.

Light is emitted, generating a special material.

This is called the Light Material Transformation System.

The light forms a reinforced armor which...

...covers the host body, which in turn transforms into Tekkaman Blade.

It is through this process that D-Boy transforms into Tekkaman Blade.

"Tek-setter" can be thought of as the password for the Tek System.

We're researching the relationship between the Radam and D-Boy also.

But those are...

Radam!

We know too little about the Radam.

All we know is that they come down to Earth as organisms...

...and immediately go underground to become the seeds of plants.

But you knew the name of the Radam...

...and also their purpose ...to conquer the Earth.

Is there anything else you can tell me about them?

What are the Radam in the first place?

Why can you become Tekkaman Blade when you have...

...the same physical structure as an ordinary human being?

What has your analysis told you?

Unfortunately, it told us nothing.

I see...

I'd like to know all that stuff myself.

We believed Tekkaman to be invincible, but in fact...

...he does have an unexpected vulnerability.

This is bad!

I've never seen D-Boy struggle so much before!

Noal, make a hard turn! Back to base!

Aki! Aki!

Hey, Aki, pull yourself together!

Aki, pull yourself together!

Why did Tekkaman abandon the fight and return to base?

We found the answer from an unexpected source.

D-Boy...

Milly, what's the matter?

I started thinking about tomorrow's attack, my heart started pounding...

...and I couldn't sleep.

So I came outside for some air, that's all.

I see...

This might be the last time we ever see the sky at night.

What?

I can only function as Tekkaman with a human soul for 30 minutes.

What?

If I exceed those 30 minutes even for a single second...

...my Tek System will go out of control, and my mind will be possessed.

Then I'll turn into a demon who'll bring destruction to Earth and I'll never...

...return to my normal self.

No... no way! I can't believe you'd ever turn into an evil Tekkaman!

If more than 30 minutes pass after he turns into Tekkaman...

...D-Boy's mind and soul will be taken over.

This was an unexpected shock for us.

I'm out of... I'm running out of time!

Out of time? What do you mean, he's out of time?

D-Boy told me last night.

Told you what?

D-Boy said he would rather be killed by one of his comrades...

...than join the Radam!

Comrades?

If this keeps up, D-Boy's going to turn into an evil Tekkaman!

Damn him!

Milly, better hang on tight!

Get out of my way!

D-Boy!

I owe you one, Noal!

Let's go, Tekkaman!

D-Boy! Hurry!

Voltekker!

Wow! He did it!

Tek-setter!

The dreadful fact is that the enemy has captured Tekkaman.

Trapped by the wily Tekkaman Dagger, D-Boy's Tek-Set malfunctions.

Tek-setter!

What the?

I've got you now, Blade!

How unfortunate, Blade...

You're trapped in an Interference Spectrum, nullifying the Tek System.

If you try to Tek-Set, the energy you generate will only spread and...

...you'll end up hurting yourself!

Damn!

D-Boy makes a desperate attempt to transform to fight Dagger.

But the price he paid was too high...

...the crystal that generates his transformation field was smashed.

The Space Knights worked around the clock to finish the robot, Pegas...

...to serve as Tekkaman Blade's backup in place of the crystal.

If I can just get past this, all we'll have to do is incorporate it, Boss!

Just leave it to me!

Hey, no more playing tag?

Damn.

I won't let you get away.

Pegas!

I can turn into Tekkaman with this?

Tek-setter!

Roger!

Tekkaman Blade!

Tekkaman Blade?

Impossible! You can never become Tekkaman Blade again!

Pegas has given me another life, so that I can fight the Radam!

And until... until I destroy every one of you...

...I'll never die!

Damn you, Blade!

What the...

Impossible!

You're history now, Tekkaman Dagger!

Voltekker!

He did it!

Tekkaman Blade has become the savior of the earth.

Still, it is not as though I completely trust Tekkaman Blade.

There's always the possibility he could turn into an evil Tekkaman.

But for now, since Tekkaman Blade is our only viable defense...

...against the Radam, I have decided to continue using him...

...despite the risks.

I will also continue my personal research on Tekkaman Blade.

All Space Knights are to gather in the Central Room.

Repeat...

All Space Knights are to gather in the Central Room.

Blue Earth, launch immediately!

Roger!

Cold as ice... my motherland...

Tell me the reason for your sorrow.

Will there never be an end to this battle?

I don't need any sweet dreams right now.

Ah... I'm going to rip out the pages of

my memory until yesterday...

Ah... And search for the path beyond these tears.

The Allied Defense Force succeeded in annihilating the Radam young.

But even as they revel in victory, a red flash of light streaks past...
