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...

Evolving has come with a price... D-Boy has begun to lose his memory.

However...

Before he realizes what's going on, he battles and defeats Evil.

I...

That's right.

Your body was saved from internal collapse by evolving to Blaster Mode.

But the damage is now concentrated in your brain. Because of paralysis...

...of the nuclei of your nerve cells, you're starting to lose your memory.

I couldn't even remember what Miyuki's favorite flower was!

For the first time, D-Boy realizes what is happening to him.

FAREWELL BULLETS

Aki, let's analyze this data right away.

Right.

This is the first global data we've gathered...

...since the Blue Earth was restored.

Just hold on a minute, Aki.

I'll take care of this!

Shouldn't you be somewhere else now?

I forgot that everyone calls me D-Boy...

...and the name of Miyuki's favorite flower.

What am I going to lose next? Will I forget Aki, Noal and the others?

Or...

Hey, Chief, D-Boy will be all right, won't he?

He's not going to forget about us, is he?

Unfortunately, we can't stop the paralysis of his nerve cell's nuclei.

There are limits to even the latest medical techniques when it comes to...

...treating living tissue.

To put it bluntly, we're just doing this to ease his mind, right?

Oh, so you're back.

They'll be done with D-Boy's tests soon.

D-Boy...

Time to go, Angela!

I'm going now, my love.

Space Knights... these people are former Allied Defense Force soldiers.

We formed a guerrilla force and...

...have continued the battle to take back the Orbital Ring.

But in recent days, the number of...

...Radam monsters in the Orbital Elevator has decreased.

They've come here to relay this information to us.

The decrease has been confirmed not only in the Orbital Elevator...

According to information you collected with the Blue Earth...

...Radam monsters all over the world have been changing rapidly...

...into Radam trees.

Then the Radam are...

They've now entered the last phase of their invasion... no question.

What are we going to do?

We must destroy their base on the moon before the Radam trees bloom!

But the catapult for the Blue Earth hasn't been repaired yet!

If we can't leave Earth's atmosphere, I guess we have no options.

I want you to join forces with these people, take back the Orbital Ring...

...and get it up and running again.

I see. We'll take advantage of the decrease in Radam monsters.

There are 8 space ports on the Orbital Ring.

If we take back just one of them, we'll be able to go into outer space.

And if we repair the communication system, we'll be able to restore...

...communications on Earth again.

And most importantly...

If by any chance the Radam trees should start blooming...

...we can use the Orbital Ring as a refuge for people on Earth.

I see...

We'll "kill 2 birds with 1 stone." No, it's 3 birds, isn't it, Noal?

That's right! We'll get revenge for everything...

...they have done to us in one clean sweep!

For the sake of the sergeant, too.

Rebin, we'll need you to restore the communication system.

Please accompany them.

Roger!

We don't have much time. I'm ordering you to start the operation at once.

Roger!

D-Boy!

Hey, don't push it.

D-Boy?

Chief, please let me take part in this operation.

But you...

All right!

If Tekkaman Blade comes along, our job is as good as done!

Wait, D-Boy!

It's all right, Aki.

If I have to suffer anyway, I'd rather be fighting.

All right. Give it everything you've got, men!

Right!

We've sent enough Radam monsters down to Earth to satisfy Lord Omega.

And so your job is finished, Radam Mother...

I am now going to give you one final command.

That's right.

Eat your young, and store all that energy in your body.

In preparation of the day to come!

We've taken control of the area up to an altitude of 200 km.

We can take the restored Orbital Elevator to get there.

And what happens beyond that is anyone's guess, huh?

Even we don't know if the Radam monsters are there or not.

Pegas, your master's going through a hard time, so take care of him.

Roger!

D-Boy, Pegas is all set to go.

You can count on him to protect you!

D-Boy, Noal and Balzak will be there, so you don't have to transform.

I know.

Mrs. Angela, do you know how to use a gun?

I've mastered all of these weapons for this very day.

Still, you're not a professional soldier...

...so please stay alongside us at all times. All right, Angela?

D-Boy...

Sword!

So you came after all... Blade!

Nothing unusual out there. At this rate it looks like we'll make it...

...to the Central Control Room.

It's just a few Radam monsters. My men and I can take care of them.

Get down!

Hey, good job.

Something's not right. Usually there's a whole pack of monsters...

...ganging up on us, but today they stopped at 3.

Let's hurry. If we can get the central control room functioning...

...we'll be able to see what's going on in the entire Ring.

Roger!

They've passed safely through the Orbital Elevator area.

They will soon reach the central control room.

We're counting on you!

Oh, man!

Just look at that!

Be careful. They might be around somewhere!

Rebin, do you think you can restore it?

Just the communication system, maybe.

Two more!

Blade, the real game hasn't even started yet.

Which of the viable ports is closest?

Um... Space Port No. 8!

Hey! Hey, wait!

D-Boy!

That's our D-Boy!

Noal, stay to protect Aki and the others. I'll look after D-Boy.

Right!

We're counting on you, Balzak!

Roy, you three remain here to restore the communication system.

We'll back up D-Boy.

Roger!

Hans, I'm going, too.

No, you're staying here.

I said I'm going!

I can't let you, Angela.

There's something I want to ask that boy.

What did you want to ask me?

Tell me about his last moments...

Whose?

Barnard O'Toole... the man who always called you "my boy."

Barnard O'Toole?

When he met you, he was so happy.

He said he'd met a true warrior for the first time in a long time.

He looked so pleased when he was telling me all about you.

Listen, kid, I have some advice if you're planning to...

...make war your career.

No matter what your leaders may say...

...it's the soldiers who end up dead on the battlefield.

If you die, nothing else matters. Survival comes first!

Come back alive so you can protect the lives of your teammates.

That's the law of the battlefield!

That's my advice as a soldier... No, as an ordinary old man.

Sergeant Barnard...

You called me by my name for the first time, kiddo.

Barnard meant everything to me.

When he returned to the battlefield, he'd leave home before I woke up...

...putting this gun on the table.

We couldn't spend much time together, but he always told me...

...he could fight because he had a port to come home to... me.

He would say, "Think of this gun as me while I'm gone."

But he's not coming back anymore.

Barnard O'Toole...

Please, D-Boy. You saw him in his last moments, didn't you?

I want you to tell me about it! Tell me how he died...

Barnard?

Who in the world is he? I've never heard of the man...

No! Did I lose another memory?

Please tell me, D-Boy!

D-Boy!

I'm sorry.

What?

Rebin!

Rebin.

I'm all right. I'm all right.

How dare they do something like this to the system!

Who ever destroyed it must be the most horrible person ever!

...D-Boy.

Then are you going to forget everything eventually?

I don't know.

But I'm... I'm afraid.

I'm afraid that I'll forget my hatred towards the Radam...

...and lose my motivation to fight them.

If I forgot, I wouldn't know what I've been fighting for all this time.

They took away all of the people you loved, right?

Then you have nothing to worry about!

A human heart isn't as weak as you think it is.

You lost your loved ones.

You'll never forget that grudge, even if you die.

There's no way you could ever forget!

Angela...

Oh, Danny boy...

...the pipes, the pipes are calling.

That song...

My Barnard used to sing it all the time.

From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.

The summer's gone, and the flowers...

Pegas, how do you know?

This song has been saved in my memory bank.

Barnard must've taught it to him.

I'm getting a strong reading!

Prepare for attack! Angela, you take cover now!

Pegas!

Roger!

D-Boy, don't Tek-Set! Just leave it to us!

Man, this one's gigantic!

Fire!

It's different from the others.

Fire the needlers into its eyes!

Dammit! A misfire?

It's nothing like the usual Radam monsters!

Everybody, aim for the needles! Hit them square so they detonate!

Hans! Don't get so close!

Hans!

Pegas! Tek-Setter!

Dammit, it won't even budge!

D-Boy!

Balzak!

Balzak! D-Boy!

Angela!

Stay away, Angela!

Angela!

I won't let you kill D-Boy... who was like a son to my dear Barnard!

Angela!

The needles...

Angela!

Angela!

I'm going to become one of your memories now, too.

Don't ever forget your fury!

Stop it!

I'm going to you now... my love...

Angela!

Voltekker!

So you fell for it, Blade!

What?

All right! The communication system is online!

Huh? What's going on?

It's the effect of a shock wave!

Shock wave?

D-Boy...

The Radam Mother absorbed her young into her body...

...turning herself into a cluster of energy.

A massive pulse was discharged when the Voltekker was fired.

There's no way that Blade escaped undamaged.

And now only Space Port 8 remains. The game continues, Blade!

What happened?

Balzak!

Balzak!

Everyone...

Angela...

Angela, forgive me.

I couldn't save you...

D-Boy, I'm going to become one of your memories now, too.

I won't forget!

Even if I forget everything else, I'll never forget my hate of the Radam!

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.

Sword and D-Boy are headed to the last remaining spaceport, but...

...in the midst of this terror, D-Boy cannot remember how to Tek-Set.
