We'll do it! Until our strength is used up.

chikyuu no yoake wa mou chikai

The dawning of the earth is near...

After Professor Hamaguchi died, Professor Sakunji took over as chief of Big Falcon.

Professor Sakunji immediately put the Voltes Team under rigid training.

This didn't sit well with the Voltes Team, as they didn't think it was needed.

"Forsake Love and Tears!!"

Launch the missiles!

Missiles!?

What!?

Professor! What's going on?

Those are heat seekers! Try to get away from them without using any weapons!

If you use weapons, I'll kick you out of the team!

That's unreasonable!

Dive to sea level and go straight towards the cliff.

Everyone! Drop altitude to sea level!

The missiles will catch up to you if you slow down, so maintain your current speed!

Break right or left just before you hit the cliff!

That's too hard!

If you turn too late, you'll hit the cliff, so exercise caution!

All right! Begin!

This is unreasonable!

Let's do as he says. Everyone! Let's go!

Shit! What the hell is he trying to do to us?

We could get killed doing what he says! Is he crazy?

Professor, isn't using the heat seekers dangerous? Why must we practice with them?

I don't have to explain that.

With this kind of drill, we could get killed.

Nonsense! Just do as I say! If any of you gets killed, it's because you were careless!

What's the matter with you, Professor?

I heard you're Professor Hamaguchi's protege and a friend of General Oka!

Do I fall short of your expectations? You surely fall short of mine!

I've had enough of this!

If you think we're done, you're wrong!

Only if you've mastered the spin technique can you go back to base!

Fly in V-formation at full speed! You've learned to accelerate, now it's time to spin!

Professor, please tell us the objective of this exercise.

Just do as I say and don't ask any questions. Nobody goes back until we're through!

That's unreasonable! We can't practice forever!

Just do as I instructed and do it now!

Shit. Listen to him. He orders us around like we're robots!

Whoever heard of practicing without any objectives?

Never mind that. Let's show Professor our maximum speed, and do his spin technique!

Mach 6...

Mach 7...

Mach 8... Mach 9... Mach 10... Mach 11...

Mach 12...

Mach 14...

Hiyoshi! Are you all right? Hiyoshi.

I'm okay, brother...

Hang on. Hang on, Hiyoshi.

Mach 16... Let's try the spin fly!

Now, Professor, tell the us the purpose of this technique?

Kenichi! You call that a spin fly?

Spin faster! Spin like tops!

Professor! We're at maximum speed! We can't spin any faster!

Shut up! Spin like tops! Master the technique! Otherwise, we won't finish the training!

Shit!

What the hell are we doing?

That's it! Faster! Spin faster! Spin like tops!

Hiyoshi!

Hiyoshi! Can you hear me? Hiyoshi!

Hiyoshi! Answer me! Hiyoshi!

Hiyoshi. Are you all right?

I'm okay.

Hiyoshi, return to base immediately.

Everyone else, continue practicing.

Hiyoshi, listen. To be a member of the Voltes Team, you have to pilot the Frigate well.

Get on that.

Yes sir.

From now on, we'll hold a one-on-one training session.

Now, we crank up the speed.

Hiyoshi. Hiyoshi. Are you all right? Hiyoshi.

Brother.

Professor, what are you trying to do to our brother?

Why are you all here? Who gave you permission to land?

You want to talk about permission? Who gave you permission to do what you did?

Hiyoshi is still a kid! His body can’t take the training you dish out! Heck, we surely can't!

That's very brotherly of you, but it means nothing! We need perfect pilots for Voltes V.

We need pilots who can control emotions, like machines!

Young or not, Hiyoshi must be trained to maximize his volt machine's capabilities!

We need to be able to push the volt machines to their limit!

You must be like machines, that can fight to the death!

Teamwork is also essential. We make up for Hiyoshi's weakness with teamwork.

Yes, you're right to some extent, but one day you’ll lose if you keep thinking like that.

Too much compassion weakens the team!

Do you want us to be heartless machines like the machines we pilot?

That's right. When we can have computers to control the volt machines, we won't need you!

The same goes for you! You'll be obsolete one day too!

So you're saying all this training is unnecessary?

BEAST FIGHTER SIGHTED! BEAST FIGHTER SIGHTED!

VOLTES TEAM, PREPARE TO LAUNCH!

Professor, now's our chance to show you our teamwork. Let's go!

Okay, team! Let's show Professor how good our teamwork is!

Okay!

V-TOGETHER!!!
