Tekkaman Blade

My fingertips are stained with blood

and nothing can stop them...

...until the day it's over, once and for all.

Destiny gone mad...

Even though I've stumbled into this eternal loneliness...

...somewhere deep down inside I can smile.

Only this battle can set me free.

Now that I no longer have anything more to lose...

...I'm never going to give up the chase

and I'll reclaim the future for myself.

I know that my soul

will find its way back to this planet someday.

Until the day this body of mine

finally shatters into pieces...

The Space Knights' base fell and vanished from the face of the Earth...

...on May 6 in the Year 192 by the Allied Earth Calendar.

The planet had been ravaged, and people were leading lives of fear...

...under Radam oppression.

After five months wandering, D-Boy was reunited with Aki and the others.

They set off to search for the crystals owned by Axe, Sword and Lance...

...to enable them to get to the moon, where the Radam base is located.

CITY OF VENGEANCE

It's completely dark everywhere you look.

All this darkness makes one's heart dark, too.

Isn't that right, D-Boy?

Well, I guess...

Oh, D-Boy can be happy as long as he's with Aki.

Bullseye! You got it!

Hey, D-Boy, I think it's a better deal to choose me, since I'm good at...

...cooking, washing and cleaning... unlike Aki, who can't even cook.

So? How about switching over to me?

Oh, my, Aki, you're not jealous of me, are you?

No, I'm not. Just look at that.

I hope you're not trying to play a trick on me!

Hey, what's that?

It's a reflection of the light on the ground.

No way! We're in an energy crisis now...

Ouch. You're jealous of me, aren't you?

Of course not.

What... what's that?

It looks like a bar.

Hurry up!

Don't be impatient!

Who are you?

Who's the manager?

There's no such man here.

This is our bar. Get out of here, strangers.

I don't care how much you drink, but turn off the neon lamps outside!

What did you say?

You know what's going to happen if the Radam come after your energy!

Oh, come on, don't give me that!

What are you laughing at?

Let them come if they want to!

How can we drink if we're cowering from the Radam? Right, men?

That's right!

Hey, we're trying to have a good time here. Don't ruin it!

Don't wander around in our bar! Get the hell out!

Hey, what the...

What do you think you're doing?

You have no right to treat us like this, stranger!

If you're scared of the Radam, why don't you run home right now, boy?

What did you say?

Come on!

Stop it, D-Boy!

Get out! Get out!

Get out! Get out! Let's go, D-Boy.

But...

Never mind! Come on!

It smells like booze in here!

Let's get out of here.

Get out now or we'll kick you out ourselves!

All right, we got it. We're leaving right now.

Ha!

Those horrible men... I hope they all get killed by the Radam.

Don't say things like that.

But, Aki...

I suppose we can't blame them, considering the times we live in.

But... do you think it'll be all right, Noal?

Nothing we can do... Never mind, I just got a great idea.

A great idea? What is it?

Look at the energy they're leaking. The Radam are sure to come for it.

Just hold on a minute!

Then what's going to happen to those people?

We'll find a way somehow to kill all the Radam except for one.

Except for one?

Then what are you going to do?

We'll let him escape.

Let him escape?

Yes, and then we'll go after him.

The Radam monster just might head back to the enemy Tekkamen.

I see, better odds than wandering aimlessly looking for Tekkamen.

That's right. What do you say, guys?

Are you going to use those men as bait?

We have no choice! There's no other way.

Yes, they really deserve to suffer, anyway!

I think it might be worth a shot.

As long as D-Boy agrees, I'll agree, too, but I'm afraid...

What's the matter, Rebin?

Those men were armed with military issue guns.

There's an army base for a Central European unit around here, I think.

A military base?

I think they might have worked there... so they're the last survivors.

About how many soldiers were on that base?

About 1,000, I think.

There were about 20 men in that bar.

20 soldiers out of 1,000.

If that's true, then I can understand why they were so obnoxious.

I don't know. They might be thinking the same thing as Noal.

Because they didn't want us to get involved in their operation...

...they acted the way they did.

No way! Those rude guys?

Somehow, I know that's the reason.

Could it be?

Those men might be planning to die in battle against the Radam.

You've got to be kidding. Facing the Radam isn't as easy as they think.

At any rate, we've got to make sure.

Make sure of what?

Just leave it to me.

You again?

You're still wandering around in here? Go on home!

Why are you looking at me like that?

Can't you at least let me have one drink?

You're so stingy! Let me have a drink!

Go home after you're done. And don't hang around here. Got that?

Thanks. I get the message!

Are you satisfied now?

You don't have to laugh at me. That was my first beer, you see...

Besides, I haven't even finished it yet.

You're going to keep drinking? All right, look. This is how to drink beer.

By the way, you're not planning to die in battle against the Radam, are you?

I guessed right, didn't I?

You'll never understand what's going on in our minds!

Why are you trying to find out?

Don't move!

Why did you come here? Answer me!

What's all this?

I may not look it, but I'm a member of the Space Knights, you know!

A member of the Space Knights? You're one of them, huh?

Don't give me that! I'll make you pay!

Don't be so violent. I'm telling you the truth.

Corporal!

Yes!

Ouch! Stop it!

Stop it, Corporal!

Captain!

Let her go.

But, she...

He said to let me go!

That's an order, Corporal.

Yes, sir! You hurt me!

You hurt me!

I'm sorry. But they're good men at heart, you see.

I'm the captain of this unit.

Captain?

It's dangerous around here. Get yourself to a safe distance in a hurry.

All right...

I'm about to go on patrol now. I'll see you off.

All right.

Lieutenant, I'm leaving you in charge.

Sergeant! Corporal! Let's go.

Yes, sir! Yes, sir!

Yes, sir!

All right, let's go!

What a dreamboat!

Hey, why aren't you going with them, Rebin?

Because I'm busy right now.

Normally, nothing would stop you from going!

I don't care for D-Boy anymore! Besides...

...I want them to have some time alone once in a while. Right, Aki?

Rebin!

Here's a map to the power station. Be careful.

Roger.

Let me know right away if something happens.

Bye!

Did you meet a cool guy at the bar last night?

Oh? Didn't I tell you when I got home last night?

There was a cool guy, actually!

So are you going there again?

Yes, of course! See you later!

What are you gonna do if the Radam attack the bar?

It could be dangerous.

Don't worry, Noal and D-Boy will come to my rescue.

I'll be counting on you! Bye!

I really envy that kind of personality.

I know!

How awful. Just look at all this damage!

Something more than Radam monsters did this.

What do you mean?

This is Axe's way of destroying things. He must've been here.

Then, those men in the bar...

Right. They know they can't win, but they still mean to fight.

Why can't I make you understand? Fighting the Radam just isn't...

...as easy as you think!

No matter what you say, we will not retreat. I'm asking you to leave.

What's that sound?

They're here.

They've come at last! All soldiers... prepare for action!

Yes, sir!

Master Sergeant! You're going to make a D-Formation here.

Yes, sir!

Sergeant, you're going to make a V-Formation outside!

Yes, sir!

Corporal, you're coming with me!

Yes, sir!

You're going to the shelter.

No, I'm going to fight, too!

Not to die, but to survive with the rest of you!

All preparations complete, sir. All right.

All right.

Take out the neutron gun at the castle ruins!

Yes, sir!

Come with me.

Yes, sir!

Here it comes.

It's not time for you to go yet.

Why?

You said Axe destroyed the power station.

Yes.

He may show up again, so you've got to wait 'til the last minute.

If I'm in danger, I'll signal to you. Until then, don't move from here!

But you can't fight them alone, Noal!

I won't overdo it, okay?

But we can't both be wiped out 30 minutes from now when Axe appears.

I know how you feel about it. But that's why you've got to be patient!

Just trust me, D-Boy.

The second squad is ready! The enemy is nowhere in sight!

Laser gun, ready on the rooftop! The enemy is in the skies above us.

Hold your fire. Bring them in as close as you can first!

What's that?

My friend is fighting the Radam.

One of the people from yesterday?

Yes.

Damn!

So many Radam monsters!

There's no end in sight!

Fire!

Don't back down! Fire! Fire! Fire!

Corporal, send 3 men to the power station control room.

The rest of you, wait on the roof!

Where are we?

It's a shed for storing neutron guns.

Neutron guns?

We can amplify the fast neutrons and hot wire them...

...with the underground nuclear fusion power plant, and fire!

That's reckless!

We have no other way.

But you'll be killing yourselves...

We're all prepared for that.

As long as we can get revenge for our dead comrades!

What good will revenge do?

Do you really think that would make your dead friends happy?

I can only do my best, nothing more! The results won't matter!

No way am I going to let you die!

I should tell you something.

What's that?

I'm a woman.

What? You're kidding!

It's true. My name is Anna White.

I don't believe it!

Look at this.

Is that you?

Yes.

And that's your lover?

He was.

He was?

He was killed... he was attacked by an enemy Tekkaman.

But why did you have to give up being a woman?

Not because my lover died.

I have no choice but to live as a soldier in order to...

...avenge the over 1,000 comrades we lost.

And my fellow survivors were happy to follow my lead.

My, what a touching story.

What do you mean?

I understand how you feel, but you don't have to force yourself to...

...live a false life as a man.

You're forcing yourself to live a false life as a woman.

Sorry, you're wrong! I became a woman because I wanted to.

I can live more freely this way!

Freely?

Ever since I was a boy I loved cooking, sewing and washing.

I guess that's why... I always wished that I'd been born a girl.

Other people have given me grief over it, but I don't care at all.

Because this is the only way I can be true to myself!

So are you saying you want me to be more true to myself, too?

Who knows? Anyway, I'm full of regret.

If you were a real man, I would've fallen head over heels in love with you.

What's going on?

It's him! He's come here!

He's here!

Tekkaman Axe!

Just don't let him get away!

Go to hell!

Sergeant!

Gordon! Marl!

Captain! Now's your chance! Please, fire!

He's right there! We have Ben's revenge in our reach!

Captain!

Don't worry about us! Hurry!

Hurry up and shoot! Anna!

We can't hold him back much longer! Stop hesitating and shoot!

Are you out of bullets? Then you'll have to die!

Anna!

What?

Is it D-Boy?

It's the signal!

He's coming! Prepare to receive gunfire! Protect the neutron gun!

Yes, sir!

Amazing, I'm sure you can defeat Axe with that gun.

But it takes 10 minutes to charge. If he attacks during that time...

He's coming toward you.

Why didn't you shoot us like we planned?

From here on in, I'm commanding you to fight to live!

But...

As long as we're alive, we'll get the chance to kill him someday.

That's an order!

Yes, sir!

Can I ask you to guide the missiles?

Yes, sir!

Radam monsters ahead... 5km away! And over there... Axe!

Continue charging the energy. Fire the missiles!

How very impudent of you!

D-Boy! You're late!

Blade!

Tekkaman Blade!

Is that Tekkaman Blade?

Yes, he's pretty hot, isn't he?

Listen up, Blade! I let them live so I could lure you here.

What?

Here, you won't be able to use Lancer or Voltekker as you wish!

The gun!

Your carelessness is your downfall, Takaya, my boy.

I won't let you!

Are you okay, D-Boy?

Die, dammit!

Sorry I'm late, D-Boy.

You piece of junk!

Go to hell!

No!

Axe, you're not running away, are you?

I'm not running away. I'm just saving the pleasure for next time.

Come back here, Axe!

We came this close to stealing his crystal.

It's not going to be that easy to defeat him.

Someday we'll all join forces and defeat Axe... I swear!

So please... fight to live, Anna.

Anna...

We're going to live for the sake of my dead lover, and all the others...

And for our comrades like you, Rebin... those who fight to live.

And one more thing. A woman should live like a woman.

And Rebin should live like Rebin!

That's right.

I'm looking forward to meeting you again someday.

Me, too.

In a dream I had last night, I saw your smiling face.

But when I opened my eyes,

it was still the same as yesterday.

Forgetting what kindness is, I close off my heart.

All the pain and hatred raining down day after day.

The Radam forest is drawing closer, but a girl and a robot continue to...

...live in an ancient castle. What did D-Boy and the others witness?
