Original subtitles

Dammit! Nothing works against this thing!

Unit damage at 40! Pilot's vital strain at 80!

He's in danger!

Commander, your orders!

Captain Hoshi, do you copy? Captain Hoshi!

SAFETY FIRST

This the place?

It is.

You sure?

Yep. No doubt about it.

My premonition was right on the money!

Fukanou nado nani hitotsu nai to Declaring that nothing is impossible

Waraitobashi honoo no sora e And laughing while flying into a burning sky

Chi ni kizamareta karma ni michibikare Guided by a fate engraved into blood

The Demon on High Episode 1:

There it is, Takuma.

So, that's the Getter Ray research lab?

It's jank as hell.

You positive about this?

Yep. The guy in charge of that place should have all the answers you're looking for.

BLACK DRAGON DOJO

I will never let you have Takuma!

Well, I do admire your tenacity.

But you leave me with no choice.

I'll never forget that bastard's face. He's dead meat when I find him!

Cool your jets.

No point getting worked up now. It's just gonna make you hungry.

Kids aren't welcome around these parts.

If you wandered up here, then you best turn yourselves around.

The hell?!

Otherwise, we'll have to gun you both down for trespassing.

You gotta be shitting me!

You can't just kill us for coming to pay a visit!

Cut the crap and just let me meet with your boss!

Yamazaki, you cut it first.

Okay.

The entire world changed after that day...

It's been 19 years since the war came to an end in Siberia, but it's unclear if we can ever fully rebuild

since the world remains in chaos.

What's this weird feeling? I know I'm not crazy...

Hold up. This must be the presence of Getter Rays!

Get lost already, damn brat!

Seriously? Pointing guns at kids, shithead?

Guess you were born with no balls!

Don't test me.

Hey, Takuma.

What is it, Baku?

I can sense it. There's a supernatural power here!

Huh?

I could feel something growing stronger the closer that we came to this area.

And I just saw it clearly.

There's an energy enveloping this whole place like a grudge and it's affecting my premonition powers.

Good news, I came up with a better way in.

Liberation Coalition

Listen up! We're entering uncontrolled territory now.

The risk of bandits showing up is high, so stay on your guard.

Roger that.

Shit, this ain't worth the pay. Why the hell are we making deliveries to this godforsaken town?

Thanks for comin'!

You guys are working your butts off, huh?

What else can we do? This town is doomed if we let our supplies get jacked.

It's already hard enough to find any food around here.

You're 100% sure this time, yeah?

Yep. Never felt surer about anything.

Man, your premonition ability is cool and all, but sometimes you're totally off the mark.

It's never off. It just happens to be a little too broad.

Though, in terms of accuracy, I have to admit that my powers pale in comparison to my brother's.

I could really go for some food...

Convenience store ahoy!

Look out, comin' through!

Alchohol & Smokes Look out, comin' through!

Alchohol & Smokes

Alchohol & Smokes

Take a hike!

We don't have anything to sell to you jerks!

Who said anything about buying? We take what we want!

Get 'em!

Hey, stop it!

Damn you!

It's open for business, right?

Yeah. Seems pretty busy, though.

Take this!

That hurt, dammit.

How the hell are you still standing...?

The world's a mess these days.

Wander too far from the cities and you won't be able to find any safe shelter or food.

S-so what?

So that's why we all gotta play nice and pay in full.

Or else...

O-or else?

Or else?

Or else the stores can't stock any riceballs, duh!

Who the fuck are you?!

This is our turf, punks!

Beat it!

A lunch set going for 3,000 yen.

And a single riceball for 800 yen.

We've almost used up all the money that my brother left behind.

We don't have time to do bodyguard jobs for awhile, either.

The most we can afford now is a soda and a riceball.

You boys really saved our lives, thank you!

No thanks necessary.

We just came to do some shopping.

Stopping there paid off in more ways than one.

The enemy is in the clouds!

Unit 2 is the only one functioning with a live pilot.

And its weapons?

No problems there.

Then we continue pursuit.

This is the perfect opportunity for us to gather data on those infernal insects.

Unit 2! Captain Hoshi, do you copy?

Commander! Unit damage is pushing 60! And the pilot is at his limit!

If he fights any longer, he's going to die!

Let's have him pull back!

Get real.

This battle is merely the beginning.

If a little dogfight is enough to kill him, then letting him die here is a more fortunate end.

Unit 2, come in! Captain Hoshi, do you copy?!

You're sure it's here?

Yep. No doubt about it.

Careful. You don't want to go any further than this.

Can you see it?

Yep.

It's still blurry, but getting clearer by the second.

Hey, brats! Who gave you permission to traipse around here?!

This is Landfill Island #14 and it belongs to us!

Nobody else is allowed to lay a hand on its treasures!

Treasures?

That's right!

Other folks may call it trash, but it's treasure to us!

There are appliances and cars buried under here that can still be used!

We're gonna dig 'em up and repair 'em to make big money!

Nobody gave a damn about us before,

but the onslaught of extreme weather has put factories out of business

and the global economy down the crapper!

Now nobody can afford to buy anything new!

Compared to those thugs from earlier, these people seem a lot more reasonable.

You wanna fight, kid?!

Just relax!

We didn't come to take any of your treasure.

Anyways, it's dangerous here so you should take cover.

What the hell does that mean?

Up there!

Oh please, we get lightning like that every day!

Look, I'm just trying to keep you safe!

You must think we're stupid!

We're not buying any of your bullshit!

This is our island, you don't get any say here!

Take this, punk!

Is he dead?

Just bury him in the garbage and nobody'll know.

Hey, baldy! You wanna die, too?!

Get up, Takuma! It's almost here!

Alright.

Damn! You're still alive, asshole?!

Impossible. We beat you to a pulp...

Sorry, pal. But I'm way tougher than your average joe.

You guys hardly even scratched me.

Then how about this!

Ow!

Nice try, but that'll heal up just fine with a little spit.

No way! You're insane!

Takuma! It's coming down!

Okay!

Unit 2 of the D2 squadron just crashed!

It landed in Tokyo Bay, Landfill Island #14!

The pilot's vital signs have all gone flat!

Unit damage is at 60!

Then we can still use it.

Visuals coming in from the scene via drone!

The enemy's giant weapon has begun to descend!

It's going to destroy the D2!

Commander Jin, we need to launch Getter Arc!

Not happening.

Sending Arc out now will just make it easy prey for them.

But that means we're going to lose the D2!

And if none of our pilots can handle the D2, how will they control Arc?

The real power of Getter can't be drawn out until it has three decent pilots.

Right now, we only have one who's capable of handling Arc.

Holy shit! It's incredible!

So this is the Getter Robo!

It seems someone has made contact with the D2!

What?

The security on this thing is absolute top of the line stuff,

but in order to maximize compatibility with the pilot they utilized a neural network.

And that's our way in.

Skip the tech babble and hurry it up!

No need for any tedious instruction manuals!

You can handle it! Just hop in, focus up, and let instinct be your guide!

Yahoo!

What the-?! The hatch has been opened!

Are you serious?

How the hell did they get past our security?!

We gotta get this dude out.

Damn...

Looks like he got totally wrecked.

Here it comes!

SAFETY FIRST

SAFETY FIRST

The Saotome Laboratory won't be able to ignore us if we beat that thing by using this Getter unit. SAFETY FIRST

We'll turn the spotlight on us and score a meeting with Hayato Jin. SAFETY FIRST

SAFETY FIRST

There's someone sitting in the cockpit!

Putting them on screen!

Wh-what the?!

Oops, can't see anything like this.

There we go.

I recognize that face...

Who are you?! Report immediately!

Yeah, yeah. Keep your shirt on.

I'll launch this thing in a sec.

What?!

Get out of there! Getter Robo isn't some sort of toy, kid!

You've got nothing to worry about. I'll keep Getter safe.

More importantly, is Hayato Jin there?

Damn brat! You listen here!

I'm Jin.

Just who the hell is asking?

Takuma, it's headed your way!

Crap, I don't have time to waste.

Go, go, go!

How does he know how to pilot it?

He's trying to move Getter around without an augment suit. He won't last more than 3 minutes!

No way! He can't seriously be trying to fly from that position!

Don't do it! Your body will get torn to shreds!

Not the first time I've seen this kind of recklessness.

Hey kid. Tell me your name.

My name is Takuma Nagare!

What?!

Unbelievable. Who's your father?!

My old man is...

RYOMA NAGARE!

What happened?

I'm not sure.

The electromagnetic waves in the clouds are too strong for us to get a good scan!

Ryoma's son, eh?

If that's actually true, then he's a child chosen by the Getter Rays.

It's possible that he was born having been fully exposed to them.

Things are gonna get real interesting now!

Kamui.

Sir!

You understand the situation, right?

Yes, sir.

We can't let that boy get killed.

Getter Arc, launch!

What's happening over there?

Mount Asama is...

It's splitting apart!

This is the final legacy of Professor Saotome.

Its power is the only hope that Earth has left now.

Does this thing have any weapons?

Sweet!

GETTER TOMAHAWK!

He's still alive!

This is insane. Any normal person would have been totally crushed by those G's!

This is his first time in a Getter. Is he piloting it on intuition alone?

Getter D2's specs can't keep up with what that boy's trying to pull.

Fascinating!

I'd expect no less from Ryoma's son.

The apple really doesn't fall far from the tree.

Dammit! I can't win like this!

Isn't there anything better that I can use?!

Getter Beam!

That was a direct hit. It's hopeless now!

Shit! This is nothing like I expected!

Is this all the power that Getter's got?!

The hell is that?!

Kamui!

Beams won't work on that thing's armor.

You need to aim for the spot that Takuma tore open.

Roger.

Hey, you!

We're going to fire our beams directly into its body.

Getter...

BEAAAAAAAAM!

Which one just exploded? Was it Takuma?!

Well, in either case, he's harder to kill than a cockroach. So I'm sure he's fine.

For real?

Takuma!

Dude! You okay?!

Y-yup...

How're you feeling?

What kind of question is that?

Like shit, obviously.

You held up well.

I didn't think humans could be as tough as you are.

Huh?

"Humans"?

I'll admit, you've got potential.

Huh?!
