Amid the psychic boom of the 1970s, Babiru II is a groundbreaking anime series where the protagonist and enemies clashed using psychic powers. At the time, the definition of psychic abilities is unclear, and many elementary school students likely learned what psychic powers are through the abilities introduced in this work. Furthermore, the setting featuring three servants loyal to the protagonist is also content not found in other anime.
00:30It was a groundbreaking anime show where people competed using supernatural powers.
00:33At the time, the definition of psychic powers was unclear.
00:38By the supernatural powers introduced in this work
00:42I'm sure many elementary school students learned what psychic powers are.
00:48Also, the three lower settings that follow the protagonist are
00:52It was something that wasn't in any other anime.
00:56This time we will feature Babel II.
00:59Let's take a look!
01:03The original author of Babel II is Mitsuteru Yokoyama, the creator of Tetsujin 28-go.
01:12The manga version was serialized from 1971 to 1973.
01:19The anime program began in 1973.
01:23A total of 39 episodes were aired.
01:26The story begins 5,000 years ago
01:29The alien Babel I
01:32Due to a spaceship malfunction
01:34It starts with a crash landing on Earth.
01:37A distress signal from an emergency landing on Earth
01:41To tell my home planet
01:43The gigantic structure, the Tower of Babel
01:46We will use human authorities to build it.
01:50The Tower of Babel collapsed during construction
01:54He then moved to Earth
01:57At the same time as deciding to have children
02:00Just like the me who will be born someday
02:03To find descendants with supernatural powers
02:06Using spacecraft equipment and technology
02:10I decided to keep the Tower of Babel and the three lower edges.
02:14And 5000 years later
02:17A descendant with the same psychic powers as Babel I
02:21Koichi Yamano is born
02:23He learned the facts and destinies of his ancestors.
02:28Plotting world domination as Babel II
02:31I decide to fight against Yomi.
02:34Now, let me explain about Babel II.
02:41Babel II was born and raised by ordinary parents.
02:48At some point, by reading the radio waves emitted by the Tower of Babel,
02:52You will be plagued by strange dreams
02:55In this situation, suddenly
02:58The president, an emissary from the Tower of Babel, appears.
03:02To solve the mystery
03:03Let's go to the Tower of Babel together.
03:06After arriving at the Tower of Babel
03:08A message from 5,000 years ago
03:11By learning from his ancestor, Babylon I
03:14His crash landing on Earth
03:16and discover the mystery of the Tower of Babel
03:20In addition, the technological capabilities left behind in the Tower of Babel
03:24We also understand that given three bottom edges
03:28Then, under the instructions of the computer
03:31He lives in the Himalayas and has many followers.
03:34You will meet a person named Yomi.
03:37But Yomi's plan
03:39In other words, through human body modification technology
03:43VIPs from around the world
03:45By transforming them into modified humans who obey him.
03:48Plotting world domination
03:50Because I knew his plan
03:52To thwart that dastardly plan
03:55I will fight with all my might
03:56In Babel II
04:00pledge allegiance to him
04:02There are three lower levels of absolute obedience.
04:05First, slime-like
04:08Amorphous life forms
04:10Can transform into any form
04:13Rodem
04:13In the first episode
04:15In the Tower of Babel
04:17Taking the form of a human female
04:19Contact with Babel II
04:21Usually, Rodem
04:24Babel II
04:25At the same time as playing a supporting role
04:28Information activities and
04:29He also protected Babel II.
04:32It is usually used in its black form.
04:35Also telepathically
04:38You can also update with Babel II.
04:40Don't let the black surface read your mind
04:42You can also attach a shield
04:44In addition, in slime form
04:47Wrapping around the enemy's body
04:50It also has the ability to melt
04:52But unlike the other two lower edges
04:56Not specialized for combat
04:58It was also true that there were limits to combat activities.
05:02The second bottom edge is huge
05:06This is Lopros, a seabird robot.
05:09This is Lopros
05:11First among the lower
05:14Contact with Babel II
05:16I'll take him to the Tower of Babel.
05:19Lopros can fly at supersonic speeds
05:23A rocket comes out of its mouth
05:25Can emit destructive ultrasonic waves
05:28In addition, reconnaissance cameras are installed in the eyes.
05:32By sending that image data to the Tower of Babel's computer,
05:37You can also perform a situation analysis
05:40It seems that initially it was mainly used to transport Babel II.
05:46And the bottom of the third
05:50Poseidon is skilled in naval combat.
05:54Its attack power is the strongest among the three lower ranks.
05:59Laser cannons on fingers
06:01And it's equipped with torpedoes on its abdomen.
06:05Its power is also outstanding.
06:08A single punch can easily pierce the bottom of a large ship.
06:14He also has the kicking power to knock down an opponent in one hit.
06:18In addition, it has extremely high-grade armor.
06:23The defense seemed perfect.
06:26And the signal is a flashing light attached to the eye.
06:31You can also update with Babel II.
06:34The only weakness of these three lower edges is
06:38He has telepathic powers and is in the same room as Babel II.
06:42There is a possibility that you may even accept orders from Yomi.
06:47This means that in direct confrontation with Yomi
06:50It became difficult to call the three lower sides.
06:54It will be an uphill battle
06:56And Yomi is the enemy who is plotting to conquer the world.
07:03In fact, he was a descendant of Babel I, the same as Babel II.
07:08Therefore, in terms of psychic powers, he has the same power as Babel II.
07:15Yomi was once a candidate for succession before Babel II.
07:21I was invited to the Tower of Babel
07:23Because the computer judged his abilities to be inappropriate
07:28The memory of that time has been erased
07:31In this way, it is a reading that is closely related to Babel II.
07:36He has great charisma and many followers.
07:41They have secret bases all over the place.
07:43Scientists, engineers, and psychics as direct subordinates
07:48and cyborg operatives.
07:52And as for the dignitaries of each country
07:56Because he sent out modified humans he created himself.
08:00You can manipulate the entire country at will.
08:04And in the final episode
08:08Yomi attacks a Tokyo subway train
08:11Taking train passengers hostage
08:14Yomi demands that world leaders be gathered in Tokyo.
08:20The head of the National Security Agency has asked for help from Babylon II.
08:24Afterwards, Babel II and his three subordinates
08:29Fight and defeat giant robots that appear in Tokyo
08:34But that giant robot
08:37I heard from Rodem that it was a Yomi base.
08:41Just as I was surprised, Yomi came out of the robot.
08:44Challenge to a direct confrontation
08:46Yomi was at a disadvantage in the middle of the confrontation.
08:50Return to the robot and try to escape using the escape rocket.
08:55Attacked by Lopros and Poseidon
08:59He died in an explosion along with the rocket.
09:01The battle with Yomi is over
09:04Babel II says goodbye to the three underlings
09:08And the three bottoms
09:11Return to the Tower of Babel's underground hangar
09:15I fell asleep again
09:17In addition, Babel II also became the first hole in the mountain.
09:21The show ends when he returns to his family.
09:26Now let's take a look at Babel II's exploits.
09:33Let's take a look at Babel II's exploits.
10:03Thank you for watching
10:33Thank you for watching
11:03Thank you for watching
11:33Thank you for watching
12:03During the psychic power boom, many elementary school students were probably dreaming of non-existent psychic powers.
12:11I also remember that in many households, children would bend spoons and forks, and TV stations and other places would be inundated with complaints.
12:21Of course, I was one of those people who was forcibly, ...
12:26At the same time, my mother was angry with me.
