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...

On May 6, in the Year 192 by the Allied Earth Calendar...

...we, the Space Knights, waged a terrible battle with the Radam.

If worst comes to worst, we may be destroyed completely.

In that case, I shall leave this file for the survivors...

...the ones brave enough to fight the Radam.

Heinrich von Freeman, Commander of the Space Knights.

LEGACY FOR THE SURVIVORS

Damn you, Blade!

We met D-Boy... Tekkaman Blade, and the other Tekkamen.

Dammit!

Farewell, Tekkaman Dagger!

Voltekker!

We were surprised to learn that the Tekkamen are bound together by fate.

Tekkaman Evil... so you finally showed up.

Such an emotional reunion...

Evil, so there's no way, is there?

There's no way you'll stop your assault on Earth?

It has to be done if we Radam are to survive.

Survival of the fittest... it's the same thing!

But all Tekkamen were once human beings!

No, we are Radam.

So it's our duty to work for the Radam cause.

You're the traitor... siding with the humans!

Evil...

Don't you agree... Big Brother Takaya?

Shinya!

Tekkaman Evil and D-Boy... Takaya Aiba... are twin brothers.

Fate brought them together again.

We once shared our mother's womb and now we're fighting each other.

Feels like you're battling yourself, doesn't it, Brother?

You and I are twins.

What was once one... split into two separate beings.

Whoever wins this battle should be the one to live on...

...if one of us survives!

Help me! I'm falling!

Help me!

Tekkaman Rapier is D-Boy's sister, Miyuki.

Just like Blade, she's also an incomplete Tekkaman.

Tek-Setter!

No!

Stay away, you monster!

No!

What is the difference between the incomplete Tekkaman Blade...

...and Radam Tekkamen?

The secret lies with D-Boy... in Takaya Aiba's mysterious past.

Takaya and Shinya, it might be poisonous.

Whatever you do, be careful.

The Aiba family took off in the Argos to explore outer space.

They happened to find the Radam spaceship, and boarded it.

It was then that the Argos crew was caught in the Tek-System.

Dad!

Get away, Shinya! Takaya!

Dad!

Shinya!

Big Brother Takaya! Dad!

Hurry, wake up, Big Brother Kengo!

They were all trapped in the Tek-System... a Radam weapon.

It divides humans into "compatible" and "incompatible."

The "incompatible" are destined to die.

The "compatible", the chosen ones, are transformed into Tekkamen...

...the ultimate Radam weapons, created by mind-control.

This mind-control is the greatest difference between Blade...

...and the Radam Tekkamen.

They were given the knowledge and instincts of the Radam...

...and the Radam goal of eliminating the human race.

Except for the evil Radam instincts...

...their personalities remain almost the same as before.

D-Boy was saved by his father, Kozo, who had been ejected from...

...the Tek-System. So he escaped the terrible Radam mind-control.

But because D-Boy struggles to keep his human heart as a Tekkaman...

...30 minutes after he transforms...

...his mind will be taken over by evil. This is his vulnerability.

Did we destroy him?

Fire!

You've got to stop now, D-Boy!

Please... don't hurt any more people!

Please!

Come back to us... where you belong!

D-Boy!

D-Boy, please!

D-Boy!

D-Boy...

Big Brother!

D-Boy.

Big Brother!

Big Brother!

D-Boy!

Now's our chance! Pegas!

Milly!

Milly, hang in there!

Aki... is D-Boy...

Yes.

I see, thank goodness!

Milly!

Milly's desperate efforts were enough to save D-Boy's human mind.

But so long as he continues to fight...

...he will be hampered by that 30-minute time limit.

And so Tekkaman Blade fights on alone, incomplete.

Because we did not want him to have to suffer alone in battle...

...we tried to learn what we could about the Tekkamen.

And we gave this data to Balzak of the Allied Defense Force...

...who had infiltrated the Space Knights' base.

And we used their feedback...

I was right on the money!

I've been waiting for you, Major Balzak.

I assume this is what you're looking for... the analysis on Tekkaman?

So you were on to me from the start, huh?

Pretty sneaky of you! I see you have an extensive information network.

So, are you going to bring charges against me?

Or perhaps use me to bargain with the military?

Thanks to our analysis, they invented Sol Tekkaman, a powered suit...

...armed with the Fermion Cannon.

The monitor lens is set to 0.2 lux.

There is no malfunction in the autofocus pursuing system...

...and each unit's detaching and attaching system.

The simulation data has proved the efficiency of the powered suits.

I see...

No! Stay away!

Get away from me!

No!

Rebin, are you okay?

Hey, Rebin, what's the matter?

What's that?

Tekkaman?

No, I don't think it's him.

Now that you mention it... this one's not quite as sexy, is he?

Pegas, Tek-Setter!

Roger!

Tekkaman Blade!

You're not getting away! Psi-Voltekker!

Pegas! High-coat Voltekker, set up!

To combat Evil's Psi-Voltekker, we invented the High-coat Voltekker.

By feeding back Sol Tekkaman's Fermion Cannon data into Pegas...

...it can enhance the power of Blade's Voltekker.

The High-coat Voltekker covers Blade's Voltekker with Fermion particles...

...supplied from Pegas, and then generates a massive pulse.

As expected...

...it became his new weapon, even more powerful than the Psi-Voltekker.

He did it!

D-Boy's sister Miyuki gave us much information...

...about our enemy, the Radam.

First, that the Radam base was on the moon, not on the Orbital Ring.

Can you hear my voice?

By the time you awaken...

...we Radam will be finishing our invasion of Earth.

Your first target will be the Space Knights' Headquarters.

But keep in mind that Blade... no, Takaya...

...is mine to destroy!

The Radam mothership was headed directly towards Earth.

But D-Boy's father, Doctor Kozo Aiba, in a desperate move...

...caused it to crash-land on the moon.

For the Radam, this forced landing was completely unforeseen.

The shock from this landing destroyed their energy system for...

...cultivating Radam monsters.

So the Radam took over the Orbital Ring as an outpost for...

...cultivating Radam monsters.

As for the Radam monsters...

They are advance troops in the battle to take over Earth...

We've discovered much about these creatures, as a result of our studies.

Though the Radam monsters and Tekkamen...

...look quite different in appearance...

...they share a powerful connection from birth.

Radam monsters are unable to think on their own.

They can understand simple orders.

But they are unable to act independently.

We must pay them back for what they did.

Go forth, Radam monsters!

Go forth and show the people on Earth what total destruction is!

The Radam monsters' ultimate goal is to transform into Radam trees.

And it is the job of the Tekkamen to guide and manage them.

In other words, if the Radam monsters are sheep...

...then the Tekkamen are their shepherds.

Moreover, after the Radam trees mature...

...the moment they come into bloom...

...Earth will be completely taken over by the Radam.

So our urgent duty is to find their true purpose before our last living day.

As mentioned before, we now know much about the Radam.

But we are in a difficult position to gain more knowledge.

This base of ours will soon fall.

But even after we die, the battle with the Radam will continue.

I hope others are brave enough to follow in our footsteps and fight.

And, if at that time Tekkaman Blade is still alive...

I hope he'll give this file to someone brave enough to fight the Radam.

To someone who believes in the future of the Earth!

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.

Subjugated by the Radam, Earth now lies in ruins.

But the one thing that gives people hope is the existence...

...of a mysterious warrior. What is his true identity?
