Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Space Knight Tekkaman Blade is a 1992 anime series by Tatsunoko Production, re-imagining their 1970s series Tekkaman the Space Knight. The setup for the series is that the Earth is being invaded by parasitic aliens known as the Radam (Venomoids in the English version). The Radam are led by mysterious armored warriors called Tekkamen (Teknomen in the English version). The Earth military and the Space Knights have been unsuccessful at fighting the invading aliens (and at cooperating with each other) until the arrival of a mysterious young man known as D-Boy, who can transform into the powerful armored warrior Tekkaman Blade. Together with the small, but elite team called the Space Knights, D-Boy must fight tooth and nail for the future of Earth and humanity.Tekkaman Blade was dubbed in English by Saban Entertainment under the name "Teknoman" in two versions: the American dub, which only lasted 26 episodes on UPN (as part of their launch lineup in 1995) and the international dub, which lasted 43 episodes and was shown everywhere else besides America and Japan. The DVD American release is of the international dub.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A sequel series, Tekkaman Blade II, takes place ten years after the events of the first series. The Radam are invading yet again, and the expanded Space Knights train a team of new Tekkamen to fight them. The first half deals with the continuing Radam war and focuses on Yumi Francois/Tekkaman Hiver, a clumsy mechanic who is nonetheless recruited into the new team. The second half details the appearance of Tekkaman Dead and his struggle with Space Knight David Kruegel/Tekkaman Sommer, as well as with Blade himself.Though its premise is more like an armored super hero, it still made its way to Super Robot Wars (J and W). Go figure. And if superheroes (and Capcom) are more your cup of tea than giant robots, then you can check out Blade's playable appearance in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })A character sheet is constantly in-progress.

Darker and Edgier
 Tekkaman Blade / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: The original Tekkaman was already pretty grim, but Blade throws Idealism into deep space and (space) lances it. Just to compare on how much darker it is... let's compare the protagonists: Jouji lost his father against an invading alien force (Waldastars) which set him on a path of hatred against aliens, but he always had his friends to reel him in and he eventually learned to put those feelings aside in order to protect mankind that's mostly welcoming of his efforts. When he's in Tekkaman form too long, he put a strain on his body but the worst he got was just severe pain everywhere (although still life-threatening enough to be taken seriously). D-Boy lost his entire family and most of them got completely assimilated to the alien force (Radam), and only barely escaped. When he returned to Earth, he's not exactly welcome there, some forces were trying to use him for their own ends while he still has to worry about beating down the aliens in the name of much more justified revenge (though he did have friends to reel him in). Oh and if he stays in Tekkaman for too long, he risks on losing control of himself and will kill all his friends in a frenzied state and when he gets a power up, he risks on getting his memory wiped slowly (and it DID happen). Also said assimilated family return to spearhead the invasion of Earth, and D-Boy, despite his attempts to persuade them, had no choice but to kill them all. Yikes.

Power Creep, Power Seep
 Tekkaman Blade / int_14dfb81
comment
Power Creep, Power Seep: One of the biggest offenders of this trope. As far as crossover goes, mentioning that D-Boy survived nukes alone puts him several levels above the cast of the shows that are featured in the same game as him. In Super Robot Wars terms, early in the series Blade has Armor stats similar to Mazinkaiser while having agility that makes the resident Fragile Speedsters such as the Valkyrie as fast as snail in comparison.

Mythology Gag

comment
Mythology Gag: In one of the later episodes of the first series, during the evacuation to the Orbital Ring, we are treated to a child being picked up by a rescue worker, whom the scene lingers on while they talk. The worker answers the child's concerns with "As long as we have Tekkaman, we'll be fine". Watching the "History Of Tekkaman" featurette on the DVDs, and the appearance of the rescue worker is a dead ringer for Joji Minami, the original Tekkaman from 1970s series. Moreover, the kid's mother who came later to the scene looks like Hiromi Amachi, the heroine of 1970s series. And when the scene cuts to the Space Knights, one of the crews there had the appearance of Andro Umeda, Joji's lancer and best friend.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Tekkaman Blade / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: In the climax of Episode 1 of II, Yumi deploys against Aki's order in order to save David and Natasha who are struggling against Radam... despite not having any training at all. All she knew at that point was just Reactor Voltekka. She used that to save her friends, but is absolutely untrained for stopping it, causing collateral damage. This results Aki shooting her down unconscious to stop the Reactor Voltekka, and the next day, Yumi is suspended from combat duty for violating orders and causing collateral damage. So much for the common 'newbie trying to invoke The Power of Friendship and earning their peers instantly' cliche... And as a bonus/insult to the injury, Natasha slapped Yumi, scolded her for going too recklessly (on top of accidentally stealing her Reactor Voltekka), while Yumi thought of that they're going to get along well because they're a team, she hasn't earned her peers; leaving Yumi to cry alone in her suspension room. It's only after the second episode that Yumi got some much needed training and redeemed her blunder in the first episode in the ensuing battle that both David and Natasha start bonding with her.

"I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: Blade sometimes tries to get through to his former friends and family who've been brainwashed into Tekkaman. Sure, it never works, but it shows how much he still cares. Made all the more crushing when he finds out near the end of the series that each Tekkaman is only evil via a Radam parasite, and that he could've gotten through to them if only he'd known to kill the parasite first somehow.

Bittersweet Ending: The Radam are defeated and humanity is rebuilding, but all of Takaya's/D-Boy's old friends and family are still dead. Furthermore, Takaya loses all of the memories of his old life because of the stress that his Blaster Mode put on him. However, this gives him a new lease on life by removing the burden of losing his old family and friends and is living with Aki by the end of the series.

Evil All Along: In an episode on season 1, D-Boy mentioned how the Character of the Day is mysterious and might have something he hid. Later on, he apparently abandoned his mission and seemingly go in the same direction as the Radam. Subverted, he did that to do a suicide attack to make sure he can fulfill his mission of delivering the supply that he escorted to earth.

Heroic Sacrifice: In the TV series, Miyuki/Shara, already dying, blows herself up in battle with the Tekkamen attacking the Space Knights' HQ at the end of the first season. However, in the second season, it turns out that the evil Tekkamen survived. Also a scientist from earlier episode and Barnard O'Toole. In the OVA, Dead End, as his first act of atonement for the Space Knights after being beaten by Blade and told to live a new life, jumped to space and destroyed a nuclear missile, sparing Aki from the job and seemingly destroyed himself in process. Unlike Miyuki, however, turns out Dead survived that and he then joined the Space Knights in their war against the Alien Radams.

The Unfavorite: Shinya/Cain in the Burning Clock special. He felt that his father viewed him as weaker than his older brother and blamed him for his mother's death. It doesn't help that even though Shinya often won the matches, races and other competitions he had with Takaya, his more outgoing twin would unintentionally overshadow him most of the time.

A Place Holds Memories: Late in the series, D-Boy, who has been suffering increasing Indentity Amnesia every time he transforms into Blade thanks to the Blastor Mode upgrade, takes his girlfriend Aki with him to his family home in Japan. Having lost his family members through various means to the Radam menace, the fond memories he experiences leave him increasingly despondent, culminating in him breaking down crying when he finds a recorded message Shinya left for him when they were ten.

Bullying a Dragon: Shortly after D-Boy arrives on Earth and is discovered by the Space Knights, Noal repeatedly tries to antagonize him with probing questions about what he is and whose side he's on. This is after he's seen D-Boy assume his Tekkaman form and effortlessly cut through the Radam's Spider-Crabs, which until now have been virtually unstoppable. How the plot of II pretty much kicks into gear.

Spell My Name with an S: Crash Intrude is sometimes spelled as "Crush Intrude" or even odder names like "Crush Interlude" or "Crest Interlude." Likewise with variations of Voltekka such as "Volt Tekka" and "Voltekker." This also happened between the U.S. and international dubs of Teknoman: it was Ness Carter/Teknoman Slade (U.S.) versus Nick Carter/Teknoman Blade (international).

Dangerous Forbidden Technique
 Tekkaman Blade / int_8f0dc93c
comment
Dangerous Forbidden Technique/Deadly Upgrade: In the beginning of the first series, the main character's incomplete transformation allows him to retain his free will, but has a side effect; his constant transformations into his superpowered form are destroying his central nervous system. The upgrade to Blastor Mode fixed this problem, but caused transforming to burn up his memories instead—he even forgets how to transform at one point. And dialogue by the arch-villain, in the Australian dub at least, implied that this Super Mode upgrade would cause a Teknoman to burn out and die within a few months, though this doesn't come to pass.

Karma Houdini: In II... General Pablochiva, Natasha's dad, practically got away scot free for dropping a nuke, killing many innocent Primary Body Tekkaman just to kill off several rebelling Tekkaman who rebelled as a retaliation to Fantastic Racism subjected upon them, and dropped ANOTHER just to stop Dead, despite the possibility of creating another "Black September of Prague" like when it happened during the first nuke drop, overruling Aki's pleas not to do the second one and requiring Dead to make a Heroic Sacrifice to stop it. Also, he was responsible in arresting and possibly executing Noal for attempting to stop the first nuke drop. By the end of the OVA, he still retained his position instead of his bigotry biting him in the ass like Colbert in the TV series, and the Space Knights concentrated more in facing the Alien Radam that just came. All this guy got for all these is probably just strained relationship with his daughter.

Tekkaman Blade II names three Tekkamen after the seasons in various languages: Sommer (German for "summer"), Vesna (which is a poetic word for "spring" in many Slavic languages), and Hiver (French for "winter"). Aki's name already means "autumn" in Japanese, so she fits the theme without even needing a Code Name.

Made all the more crushing when he finds out near the end of the series that each Tekkaman is only evil via a Radam parasite, and that he could've gotten through to them if only he'd known to kill the parasite first somehow.

The Tekkamen are named after bladed weapons from some time period (Axe, Sword, Lance, etc.). Tekkaman Omega and Tekkaman Evil are an exception to the rule. The English dub renames the latter to Sabre, though.

 Tekkaman Blade / int_beeffbc0
comment
Transformation Name Announcement: "Tekkaman Blade!" "Tekkaman Sommer!" "Tekkaman Vesna!" "Tekkaman Hiver!" Aki notably doesn't do this in the sequel, simply posing silently at the end of her transformation. In fact she doesn't have a Tekkaman name at all during the actual show. Side material and SRW would dub her "Tekkaman Aki" mostly out of needing to call her something.

Cataclysm Backstory: The Prague Black September, when Primary Tekkamen revolted and got nuked, for the OVA. Three of the four new characters are closely tied to it (David and Dead are survivors, Natasha's father ordered the nuking) and Aki killed the rebel leader. It's not really described until the last few episodes, but David constantly flashes back to seeing Aki in the burning city.

Angst
 Tekkaman Blade / int_c2c30ef6
comment
Angst: Turning into an alien monster and having to fight and kill your family members and closest friends (Goddard was practically family, and Fong would've been his sister-in-law if the Radam had snared the ship a day later) who still seem to be mostly themselves (they have their personalities and memories, their loyalty is just to the Radam over the human race) is a pretty tall order no matter how you slice it. Add on the fact that he's deathly afraid of getting close to anyone ever again because of it, the fact that if he goes overtime in his Tekkaman form he could become an out of control threat potentially worse than the Radam (and does), the fact that early on he is at best mistrusted by the others and at worst hated and treated like a monster... especially considering his general emotional response is to just run on sheer anger and hate for the Radam and the wangst only comes up when he's out and out overwhelmed, as anime leads go, Takaya's emo moments are pretty damn justified. Which make his amnesia as the side effect of the Blastor Form more of a blessing than a misfortune, really.

Lighter and Softer: II is a lot lighter, with younger Tekkaman group that was prone to teenager antics and some humorous cliche like Face Fault. Even so, there were still some dark elements in II, including Fantastic Racism, nuclear strikes, bloody battles, although when you compare with the first series' litany of how much Blade's life, past and present, sucked... those seemed lighter.

Whole-Plot Reference: Once you think about it, Tekkaman Blade shares a lot of simmilarity with Kamen Rider BLACK. Most of the main cast is modeled after Tatsunoko's '80s series, Red Photon Zillion's, complete with at least one set of promotional images intentionally mirroring each other. Likewise the Radam Tekkamen's blank white faces and red eyes evoke the stronger Nozans.

Being Human Sucks: At least the Radam Tekkamen think so.

Incredibly Lame Pun: The dub is full of these. Leads to a bit of Mood Whiplash, as Blade will go from joking around to deadly serious in the span of 5 minutes.

Dude, She's Like in a Coma: Actually a "he." Just goes to show how much Aki cares for D-Boy... And leading her to Converse with the Unconscious.

Theme Naming
 Tekkaman Blade / int_fd94c4ac
comment
Theme Naming: The Tekkamen are named after bladed weapons from some time period (Axe, Sword, Lance, etc.). Tekkaman Omega and Tekkaman Evil are an exception to the rule. The English dub renames the latter to Sabre, though. The dub renames Noal and Aki to "Ringo" and "Star," probably after The Beatles. The dub surnames of "Richards," "Summers," and "Jameson" may be Shout Outs to Marvel Comics. For that dub, they had Eric S. Rollman as executive producer. For anyone who doesn't know, Mr. Rollman has been involved in pretty much every Animated Adaptation of the Marvel Universe from X-Men: The Animated Series to present shows like The Superhero Squad Show and The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Tekkaman Blade II names three Tekkamen after the seasons in various languages: Sommer (German for "summer"), Vesna (which is a poetic word for "spring" in many Slavic languages), and Hiver (French for "winter"). Aki's name already means "autumn" in Japanese, so she fits the theme without even needing a Code Name. Theme Twin Naming: Both Takaya and Shinya end with "-ya".
