Why?
You're our enemy, so why did you help us?
Don't get me wrong.
It's because I'm the one who's going to defeat you three.
Shinaider...
Hey, Rin, where are you?
Rin!
Now, Braver...
Let's settle... this... fight...

All right, stop! That'll be it for today!
Let's see...
I said this before, but...
I'm going away on a business trip this weekend, tomorrow and the day after.
So, after giving this some thought, practice will be canceled as well!
Make sure you get rested up good!
Wow, we haven't had a break in a long time!
We've been up to our ears in practice lately, after all.
This break will be precious.
You guys better not lose your sense of purpose!
We're gonna get cracking again come Monday!
I'm telling you, we're gonna!
Yeah, yeah.
Sensei, I want the souvenir to be something sweet.
I'm not going on vacation! It's for training!
Satori, what are you doing tomorrow?
Huh? I have nothing really planned...
Oh, maybe I'll go buy some study guides.
Forget about doing something so futile.
Come keep me company. I want to get some independent training done.
What?
But...
Keep me company. Got it?
S-Sure, I'd be happy to.
Tama-chan, are you free tomorrow?
Yes.
Yesterday, my father got some tickets at work for a stage show.
If you're interested, you wanna go?
What show?
It's a Cosmo 13 show, but Blade Braver's making a guest appearance.
I'll go!
Whoa-oh, is that a date, you two?
Ah, youth! Ah, romance!
I-It's nothing like that!
Here, there are two tickets here, so take someone with you.
Someone?
Nah, I have to help out at home.
Oh, maybe I'll go for a long ride on my bicycle since it's been a while.
I'm sorry, Tama-chan.
Yeah.
Me?
Yuuji-kun, are you free?
Yeah.
Good!
I'm done with the bath.
Ah, you took longer than usual today.
N-No, not... really...
Well...
Tamaki.
Yes? What is it?
About my friend that I mentioned before...
He's going to be coming to stay tomorrow, so I'll be counting on you.
Was that tomorrow?
Yes, what about it?
Around what time will it be?
He said it would be late evening.
It seems he has somewhere to drop by.
I understand. I'll get the futon out.
Good.
Then, good night.
"Space Squadron" "Cosmo 13"
Cosmo 13...
"Space Squadron" "Cosmo 13"
"Special Guest" "Red Braver"
Special guest...
"Special Guest" "Red Braver"
Red Braver!
Live Braver! LB for short!
I better go to sleep early today.
I can't fall asleep...
It's really crowded, isn't it?
Yes.
Shall we just head for the stage to start with then?
I wonder if we can find a directory somewhere...
- This way. - What? You know the way?
I looked it up.
That's Tama-chan for you...
Space Squadron, Cosmo 13!
Cosmo Punch!
Cosmo Kick!
Cosmo Pistol!
Is it really okay...
...for us to be here?
But wow, it's all kids here, huh, Tama-chan?
Tama-chan?
Huh? What did you say, Yuuji-kun?
I guess you were really into it. Do you like Cosmo 13, too?
It's not exactly that I like it. I do watch it, but...
It's fun on the basic level,
but they sort of have a few too many members.
There are more of them than their enemy, the 12 Dark Nebula Gods,
so it's sort of not as exciting...
...and they still haven't fleshed out the characters past the 10th member.
Oh, but I think the CG work is well-done.
You can tell that they're making the most
of the techniques that they gained from their previous project.
They have a lot of reused scenes because of that,
but they make small changes here and there, so it's fun to watch.
Whoa, I've never heard Tama-chan talk so much.
Just you remember, Cosmo 13!
They did it! Cosmo 13 has scored a great victory!
Everyone, give them a round of applause!
What the?! What's going on?!
Don't get cocky just because you've defeated those B-list combatants,
Cosmo 13!
Who are you?!
My name is Death Armor.
I have come back to life just now in order to conquer the world!
Death Armor's come back to life!
This is awful, everyone!
Death Armor made a lot of trouble for the Blade Bravers
and now he's appeared before the Cosmo Team!
Go back to Hell, Death Armor!
We will never let you have this world!
We'll see how long that spiritedness lasts.
Come forth, Death Friends!
Come at me!
Cosmo 1, we're counting on you!
Unbelievable! A monster's appeared, too!
Get him, Cobrazaurar Death Friend!
Why you! This is underhanded!
This is kind of a dramatic turn of events, huh?
Death Armor's back again...
What'll we do?! What'll we do?! Cosmo 1's in big trouble!
The world will be mine for sure this time!
Not so fast!
Everyone, look there!
B-Braver!
I'm coming, Cosmo 1!
He went right by me... Braver!
Hold on! Baring your evil fangs He went right by me... Braver!
Hold on! Baring your evil fangs Braver Punch!
Hold on! Baring your evil fangs
Are you all right, Cosmo 1?!
The evil, sneering Death Armor Are you all right, Cosmo 1?!
The evil, sneering Death Armor Senpai!
The evil, sneering Death Armor Damn you, Braver! This encounter will be the first in a long time!
The evil, sneering Death Armor Get them!
I will! We will not let you get away with it Get them!
I will! We will not let you get away with it
Shock!
Danger's fine by us, brave change!! Shock!
Danger's fine by us, brave change!! All right, louder, everyone! Cheer these two on!
Danger's fine by us, brave change!!
For those who embrace justice
Braver! High stance! High stance!
For those who embrace justice She's glowing even more than she does at practice...
For those who embrace justice That's the spirit! Louder!
Raise your swords of retribution to the sky That's the spirit! Louder!
Raise your swords of retribution to the sky
Okay, young lady, you give us a loud cheer, too!
Turn around with fiery passion, Atomic Fire Blade Okay, young lady, you give us a loud cheer, too!
Turn around with fiery passion, Atomic Fire Blade I only want to cheer for Shinaider.
Turn around with fiery passion, Atomic Fire Blade
Ah! Swirl without limit, Cyclone Blade
Shinaider...
Ah! Swirl without limit, Cyclone Blade Okay, the young lady's cheering, too! Everyone, raise your voices!
Swordsmen of love and courage, protecting this beautiful country Okay, the young lady's cheering, too! Everyone, raise your voices!
Swordsmen of love and courage, protecting this beautiful country Tama-chan, something wrong?
Super Sword Squadron, Blade Bravers Tama-chan, something wrong?
Super Sword Squadron, Blade Bravers No, it's nothing.
Super Sword Squadron, Blade Bravers Cosmo Blade!
Super Sword Squadron, Blade Bravers
I've lost, Cosmo 1, Red Braver. Cobra!
Super Sword Squadron, Blade Bravers Damn you, Red Braver, Cosmo 1!
We will settle this match at another time!
Next time, let us meet in the theater!
Red Braver!
Cosmo 1!
They did it! Thank you!
Now, let's have a word with the victorious pair.
They won...
With the Battle Hero Series
celebrating its 30th anniversary next spring,
there's a special event in the works, right?
Yes, the Blade Bravers will be returning in a new movie.
What?
A movie... They're making one!
Must go see it!
What's the storyline going to be like?
The Cosmo 13 and the Blade Bravers will work together
to fight against the resurrected Death Armor.
The Bravers is an old show now,
but we hope to make it a movie that the whole family can enjoy.
Naturally, everyone you know and love from the TV series will be appearing.
Blue and Yellow and Shinaider as well.
That gives us a lot to look forward to next year.
Thank you very much.
And now, we're going to take a little break.
I'll shake hands with all of you at Korakaen Hall.
- Good, good. - Oh?
- What the? So you came, after all? - That's the spirit, Miya-miya.
And what about yourself? Or rather, everyone's here.
I feel like I might lose what I've learned if I take a break.
I know the feeling!
I always forget vocabulary and stuff once the exams are over.
That's a bit different though...
At any rate, my battle won't be over until I've beat that Carrie girl.
Attagirl, Miya-miya!
Fight and guts and victory!
Thank you, Dan-kun! But please stop using those English words.
It reminds me of her...
Okay, if that's what you want, I understand.
I wonder if Yuuji-kun's doing good right about now.
Who knows?
But the girl is Tama-chan and he's Yuuji-kun, so...
What? Is that how it is between those two?
No, I don't think it's like that at all.
Even so...
You want some bittersweet memories to go with your days as a student.
Ones that don't involve the smell of wrist guards, you know?
Well, in a way, they are a good match for each other...
Though, maybe not as well-matched as we are.
I don't think Yuuji sees her in that way, either.
If anything, he's probably more like a guardian.
Then, I wonder what Tama-chan thinks of Yuuji-kun.
Boyfriend? No way.
Childhood friend? But maybe they're beyond that by now...
A boy... But that's a given, isn't it?
Yuuji is just... Yuuji.
I guess that's what it comes down to.
Yuuji-kun is... thoroughly so Yuuji-kun, isn't he?
Okay, next up is a quiz contest!
They're doing a quiz, Tama-chan.
Tama-chan?
Sh-She's going to do it...
Battle Hero Quiz!
Okay, and I, Hiro-chan, will continue on to be your host!
In this segment, I'll ask you all kinds of questions
covering the past 30 years of the series.
You'll have to buzz in to answer and for the winner...
...we've got this amazing prize!
Limited edition, legendary heroes plushies,
the deluxe complete collection!
Limited edition...
I want it!
And now, here's the first question!
This is from "Blade Bravers," our guest today!
Death Armor is the great ringleader of evil. What is his favorite food?
Yes, Rin Suzuki-san!
Mozuku seaweed.
Yes, that is correct!
Question 2!
Blade Braver's ultimate...
That was fast! Yes, Tamaki Kawazoe-san!
Atomic Fire Blade.
That is correct!
I got it right.
The young ladies are on fire!
The rest of you guys better not give up, either!
Okay!
I expected that Tama-chan would be impressive,
but that girl's impressive, too.
Correct, yet again!
Suzuki-san and Kawazoe-san both have 80 points!
The other kids... have 0 points?
This is boring.
Well...
It looks like this quiz contest is a tie between the two young ladies.
So, to settle this, we'll have them sing a Battle Hero song
and compete that way!
A s-song...
All right, who'd like to go first?!
A song... A song... A song!
Rin Suzuki. Singing "Shinaider's Song."
A song... A song...
She is good!
She's so cool!
Wasn't that incredible, everyone?!
Now, let's see Suzuki-san's score!
Okay, next, we have Tamaki Kawazoe-san! If you please!
D-Damki Kawaje...
I flubbed it!
Singing "Super Sword Squadron, Blade Bravers."
Tama-chan, go for it!
Tama-chan, they've started the handshake session.
Y-Yeah...
Come on, you were tied in the quiz contest, so you didn't lose.
Here, let's get cheered up, shake hands with Braver, and go home.
Okay.
"Cosmo 13"
You can have these.
This is the only one I want, so if you'd like, please take them.
But...
Go ahead and accept it, Tama-chan.
Thank you so very much.
You are welcome.
Well, then...
Okay, shall we go shake his hand?
Yes.
And the photo session, too.
S-So you're going to do that, too...
Yuuji-kun.
What is it?
Thank you.
I had fun today.
Really?
I'm glad you did.
I have returned home.
Oh, welcome back.
Hold on! Baring your evil fangs Oh, welcome back.
Hold on! Baring your evil fangs I'm here visiting.
Hold on! Baring your evil fangs I'll take your things.
Hold on! Baring your evil fangs B-Braver...
The evil, sneering Death Armor B-Braver...
The evil, sneering Death Armor Yes.
The evil, sneering Death Armor Wh-Why?
The evil, sneering Death Armor Surprised, Tamaki?
Hello.
Ah, Tama-chan! You've grown a lot!
Pardon?
This is Ozawa, my friend and leader of Ozawa Kenyuukai.
You don't remember me?
We've met a couple times when you were younger.
I'm sorry.
You used to come to our dojo often back then,
bringing young people over to study stunt work.
We really imposed on you a lot back then.
Ozawa's group is going to be working on...
What was it called?
You know, you mentioned it earlier... The one you like, Tamaki.
It's "Blade Bravers."
Braver!
Yes, yes! They're handling the action scenes for that movie.
So I thought I'd let them stay at our home during the shoot.
So that was why...
I wish I'd known in advance how many were coming.
I wonder if we have enough futons...
Oh, we won't mind all sleeping in one room.
We get that all the time when we go shoot on-location.
Braver...
No, you are protectors of the peace. I cannot let you suffer like that!
It's so gratifying to hear you say that, Tama-chan.
How about it?
We already have a shoot tomorrow, but do you want to come observe?
I will come!
Now, now, Tamaki...
Oh, what's the harm?
With a cute girl like her watching,
it'll inspire these guys to do better, too.
In exchange, could I ask for one more favor?
Yes? What might it be?
She's not a member of the staff, but she's awfully devoted, you see.
So, she's with us on this trip and I'd like you to look after her.
I see...
Hey, Missy!
Yes!
Come here for a sec.
She's a huge fan of Braver, just like you, Tama-chan.
You have that wrong.
The one I like...
...is Shinaider.
Oh, she's that girl...
Thank you for your hospitality. I appreciate it.
You're... that girl...
Have we met somewhere?
I'm calling the star rise

The lone warrior that Death Armor sent out to destroy Braver...
His name is Shinai Superman Shinaider.
His shinai is capable of cleaving mountains, dividing oceans,
and even splitting skyscrapers in two!
Braver is in big trouble against his greatest nemesis,
but Shinaider has an unexpected and sad past.
Next time on Super Sword Squadron, Blade Bravers,
"To War!! It's the shinai of Destruction, Shinaider!"
However, unrelated to that, for Bamboo Blade,
we will be bringing you "Tamaki Kawazoe and Rin Suzuki."
Please look forward to it.
