I feel everybody watching this part is forgetting the real bad ass here, Sergeant Barnard! Also the scene of his whisky bottle dropped while the music picking up fits perfectly, great send off to a true hero.
He was integral to D-Boy's personal growth as a warrior. As a mortal man, he was the closest thing to a father to D-Boy, having lost his real father to the Radam. He taught him a valuable lesson.
I think it was very sad to think that almost every Tekkaman Blade fought - was at one point a friend or part of his family. If I'm correct Tekkaman Evil that Blade was fighting @ 3.49 was Shinya; Takaya's twin brother and for him towards the end to have to watch Miyuki die before his eyes and then lose everything even his memory at the end. Brilliant series but so sad to think that Takaya ended up with no memory of everything he'd fought for.
That's the _happy ending_ though. Would _you_ want to remember that you had single handedly killed every member of your childhood friends, family, and second father figure? Right after watching your dad spending his last breath suicide bombing the aliens in a futile attempt to slow them down(because Takaya still arrived late)? After all the crap that Blade had to get shoved through, the only happy ending for him was either that memory loss or death. And it's debatable which is better for him.
I mean, technically him losing all of his memories like that and becoming a vegetable is one way of "dying", just in a more metaphorical sense. Dying has a lot of meaning in fiction, and while I would *love* for Blade to keep living and procuring happier memories, TB2 just didn't handle it well, except *maybe* his return, but Yumi's fangirling just brought it all back down. Although, TB2 handled a *lot* of things wrong in general...
No Commander Jameson literally state if he goes through with the transformation his body wouldn't degenerated due to the transformations but he'd have 3 to 6months tops to live. D-boy/Blade considers this enough time to kill Raddam/Darkon and goes through with it.
I mean, would _you_ consider being in a state of living vegetation "living"? TB had quite a bit of symbolism in it, both in the sub *and* the dub, and while most likely we were intended to take it literally, it's hard to considering the actual amount of symbolism that the series put into itself. Hell, if you want to take a count, Blade had "died" about three times, once by forcefully forgetting everything about his past, another time when he went off to fight Omega/Darkon, and then after the fight, the new entity born of revenge, madness, and rage died when he became a living vegetable. It'd be quite hard to take the phrase "dying" in a literal way after considering that.
The story of this anime is a kind of sad....DBoy lost his family, his little sister sacrifice herself and died in front of him and his memory and consciousness (side effect of using enhanced power) after the "final" fight In OVA, sis girl try to bring everything back and become a Tekkaman; she did and show up in front of DBoy....but in DBoy's eyes, she is just a monster
That OVA has never happened, what? TB2 is something nobody wants to admit exists, since it feels like bad fanfiction, but not only that, _weird_ bad fanfiction. But it was never about Mizuki, she's dead, Jim. It's about a new gen, with Aki acting as leader and logistics. Burning Clock is about Shinya/Evil, not Mizuki Twin Blood is _also_ about Shinya/Evil, and an alternate take on his battles with Takaya/Blade, also appears to be inspired by the image training he did. Stage 0: Missing Link never got released, and was about Aki.
Really really love Morikawa and other CV in this anime along with the mysterious singer 小坂由美子（sorry, I understand you guys Japanese, but cannot write in it.)
Ehhh... there's a chance G-Gundam could stand up to them, but that's a super-robot show. There's a reason why Tekkaman Blade made it into Super Robot Wars though. EDIT: Although, if TvTropes is to be believed, they're one of the gamebreakers.
With a lucky shot maybe, but in reality facing off against his Crush Interlude would be a nightmare for big mecha pilots to go against. Quite frankly the directors of Gundam are neglectful, they are more into the drama side of the show than the action, G-Gundam is my favorite of all of them but the ending is disappointing.
Real robots would definitely lose to this guy, but he'd probably end up a stain in the wall if Mazinger ZERO got to him. That thing eats universes. ...Even the Shin Getter could probably best him.
Mazinger ZERO is the strongest Mazinger in existence - it's appeared in manga and Super Robot Wars games so far. It's strong enough to literally eat universes, and then it enters another universe and destroys that too. It also grew sentient and doesn't need a pilot anymore - it has powers that alter reality, including allowing it to travel between dimensions on a whim.
@woooudo People should avoid the the butchered English version known as Teknoman though...it's almost like comparing Robotech to Macross. People need to watch the Japanese version for the full authenticity of the actual lore.
Tekkaman Blade has an OST, playlist found here: ru-vid.com/group/PLE62DBE4A878A867F OPs: Reason - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pBKo2S5QtPo.html Eternal Lonliness - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZzJJuDSOx_c.html The leading theme for the first scene is "Tek Setter", which leads into the second OP, "Eternal Loneliness". The entirety of the second scene is "Over the Sea of Stars".
@@aliesterus1.023 You are the best thank you very much. Actually I did download this video because I was scared that it could be removed from YT. Now I got the music. I'm happy 😁
Tatsunoko vs Capcom has it translated to Crash Intrude(where we have the written Japanese subtitles for the name to translate instead of having to go off of spoken words), not to mention that Japan has had a tendency of using English for attack names, even all the way back in the 80's if Gunbuster is any indication. It really doesn't help that pretty much _everyone_ translates it to either Crash intrude or Crash Interlude, even before Tatsunoko vs Capcom.
