These six episodes form the second sequel to the 1975
Tekkaman TV series. Ten years after the end of the first sequel,
SK Tekkaman Blade, Earth is still at war with the Radam. The only effective weapon against these aliens are the Space Knights, who fight in armored mecha suits. Klutzy blonde Yumi Francois is the newest trainee, and a computer accident gives her the power to use the latest super-weapon, Reactor Voltekker. This power feeds into the standard rivalries and frustrated attractions that occur among the Space Knights between high-tech battles. The key conflict pits D-Boy, the hero of the previous series, against Dead End, the suicidal transvestite survivor of a group of Tekkaman rebels.
Blade II feels like a longer plot that was severely compressed: the story ends before it really begins. Unrated; suitable for ages 16 and up: Nudity, violence (mostly between robots), alcohol use, sexual innuendoes.
