Can't we win with the Sword of Heaven? 81 00:10:48,100 --> 00:10:55,810 I don't know. He didn't have any openings. I think he's skilled at swordfighting. 82 00:10:55,810 --> 00:10:59,780 What do we do? If we don't use the Sword of Heaven, we'll lose! 83 00:10:59,780 --> 00:11:02,740 There's a small window of opportunity. 84 00:11:03,740 --> 00:11:06,200 It's when he's about to cut down with the sword. 85 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,910 But what can we possibly do at that point? 86 00:11:11,500 --> 00:11:20,380 He is vulnerable when he's about to cut down. That is when we attack. 87 00:11:20,380 --> 00:11:25,340 What!? So the only chance we have is when he is about to cut down? 88 00:11:25,340 --> 00:11:30,310 Yes. Any swordsman is vulnerable when he's in that position. 89 00:11:30,310 --> 00:11:33,270 Is there any counterattack that can be done at that particular moment? 90 00:11:33,270 --> 00:11:37,310 Yes there is, but it is very tough to pull off. 91 00:11:37,690 --> 00:11:39,110 Explain it to us. 92 00:11:39,650 --> 00:11:43,740 It's called the "Butterfly Return." 93 00:11:44,780 --> 00:11:46,110 Butterfly Return? 94 00:11:48,990 --> 00:11:50,450 The Butterfly Return. 95 00:11:53,580 --> 00:11:58,630 It's called that because when the sword is about to cut down, it is like a butterfly. 96 00:11:59,250 --> 00:12:05,550 Only a master of the sword can catch a butterfly with his bare hands. 97 00:12:05,550 --> 00:12:07,300 You expect me to know how to do that!? 98 00:12:07,300 --> 00:12:18,520 You can. No! You must! I can't do it because you're the one who controls Voltes V, get it? 99 00:12:20,900 --> 00:12:24,940 Brother! I don't have to tell you that this is a very dangerous situation. 100 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,080 Megumi, your radio. 101 00:12:39,330 --> 00:12:43,460 Bad news!

This is a very dangerous situation. 105 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,100 Now you must teach me the Butterfly Return. 106 00:12:57,390 --> 00:12:57,980 Brother. 107 00:12:59,020 --> 00:13:03,320 Everyone else, go back to the base and defend it until we rejoin you. 108 00:13:03,610 --> 00:13:07,860 We understand. We'll defend it until you come back. 109 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:10,160 Hiyoshi, let's go! 110 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,160 Aye aye sir! 111 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:27,420 All right, let's start. You know the theory already, so let's put it to practice. 112 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:34,140 Okay! Don't think of me as your brother. Pretend we're enemies fighting to the death! 113 00:13:41,230 --> 00:13:44,270 Do you think you have the power to defeat me? 114 00:13:44,690 --> 00:13:56,200 Gardo! Destroy everything! Voltes V will surely appear, and you will win! 115 00:14:08,630 --> 00:14:11,010 Where are Kenichi and Daijirou? What are they doing? 116 00:14:14,260 --> 00:14:16,310 Where are Kenichi and Daijirou? 117 00:14:16,310 --> 00:14:19,470 They're in a cave in the mountains, professor. 118 00:14:19,810 --> 00:14:24,310 They're learning a counterattack to defeat the enemy. 119 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:24,980 What? 120 00:14:25,270 --> 00:14:30,240 Hiyoshi!

There is a big difference. 156 00:18:12,540 --> 00:18:18,380 Learning this move does not assure our success. I hope you understand. 157 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:19,710 Brother. 158 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:26,300 I'm sorry for not being so festive.

Don't focus on the sword! 178 00:20:36,690 --> 00:20:41,650 That's right! I should be focusing on the enemy's intention instead of the sword! 179 00:20:43,230 --> 00:20:46,490 Yes. The sword is no problem, I must be aware of his every move! 180 00:20:48,070 --> 00:20:51,450 That's why the sword is like a butterfly! 181 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,550 SWORD OF HEAVEN!!! 182 00:21:27,150 --> 00:21:31,030 SWORD OF HEAVEN!!!
