The 1970s was also an era of rapid change, marked by events like the oil crisis and environmental issues. While the monsters and villains in tokusatsu at the time sought world or Japan domination driven by their own desires, this work depicted problems arising from humans' selfish behavior and economic activities. It featured monsters born from these very problems seeking revenge against humanity.
00:17Today's topic is the Condor Man, a symbol of justice.
00:21The 1970s was a time of rapid change, with the oil crisis and environmental issues.
00:32At that time, the enemy monsters and villains in special effects films were driven by their own desires to conquer the world or Japan.
00:42This work shows the problems that arise from poor human behavior and economic activity.
00:50The story was about monsters born from these problems taking revenge on humans.
00:57The content still makes me think about it even now as an adult.
01:03So let's take a look at this unique piece.
01:07A symbol of justice, Condorman aired for a total of 24 episodes in 1975.
01:19The story begins in America.
01:23The protagonist, Mitani Isshin, is caught in a counterattack by the enemy he is pursuing.
01:28They also happen to come across the Dragon Condor, the guardian deity of the ancient Mu Empire, and its egg, which was injured in the attack, and try to rescue it.
01:39However, Isshin and the Dragon Condor are shot by the enemy.
01:43And so, Isshin died, and the dying Dragon Condor mourned his death.
01:51and by the guidance of the Tabarouans,
01:54The body of the dead Isshin and the golden condor that hatched from the egg unite to form Condorman.
02:03Then you will fight against your enemy, a pair of monsters.
02:07So, let me start by explaining Condorman.
02:14Condorman, Mitani Isshin, is a member of the international peace movement group, Flags of the World.
02:21We help solve a variety of problems occurring around the world.
02:27This Mitani Isshin has a human form,
02:31In reality, it was also a temporary form in which the Golden Condor was acting as a human being.
02:38In other words, Mitani Isshin was not resurrected, but rather gave birth to Condorman.
02:44The Golden Condor is simply using his appearance.
02:49Therefore, Mitani Isshin, who is Condorman, has no memories of his life before death.
02:55Also, since Mitani Isshin was thought to be already dead,
03:00People around him saw him as someone who looked similar to him.
03:07Now, Condorman usually takes on the form of Isshin, his human form,
03:14When fighting Monster Ippo, he transforms into Condorman by holding up the wing-shaped symbol.
03:21The request was for a body completely white with a golden wing symbol on its forehead.
03:28Around his waist he wears a belt with a golden condor buckle.
03:33Condorman's energy source is sunlight, which gives him a variety of special abilities.
03:41Its representative special abilities include the Condor Eye, which allows it to distinguish between monsters,
03:47Crushing the enemy, Condor kick, slicing the enemy to pieces,
03:51Condor Cut, a strong wind that blows away enemies, Condor Hurricane,
03:56There's also the three-cushion kick, which can be used to finish off an enemy.
04:00In the first half of the story, despite being a superhuman, he had a weakness: he couldn't fly.
04:08As a result of your training, in the latter half of the game you will acquire the Condor Fly technique and be able to fly.
04:17For ground transportation, he pilots a high-performance vehicle, the Mach Condor.
04:24The body design of the Mach Condor is based on the Condor's
04:27It's a yellow convertible with the entire body decorated with a beak.
04:32The license plate has Mach 50, 50 on it.
04:37The power source is attached to the rear air stabilizer.
04:42It is solar energy that is collected from a parabolic antenna.
04:46The maximum speed is 1,200 km/h.
04:50The hovercraft allows it to travel on water, but it has no flying capabilities.
04:55The weapon is a missile fired from the hood.
05:00A pulse chute is also ejected from the rear of the vehicle.
05:04The base vehicle is Nissan, SP311 type,
05:08Dat3, Fairlady, 1600.
05:14And one pair of hostile monsters,
05:17A group of monsters born from human desires,
05:21It is headquartered in the Empire State Building in New York.
05:26Even if the monster transforms from a human form,
05:30Because he is wearing human child clothes,
05:32Although he is a monster,
05:34They wear traditional Harab costumes.
05:37With a pair of monsters,
05:39When greeting someone or agreeing with them,
05:43I cry out "Hurlmageddon!"
05:44The one who bundles this monster together is,
05:48King Monster,
05:50The characteristic demands are
05:52Two horns and
05:53It has three faces: blue, red, and yellow.
05:58and,
05:59The blue face was facing forward,
06:01Always open on the forehead,
06:03I have a third eye,
06:05The remaining two eyes are
06:07For some reason it's closed.
06:09In addition, the lower body,
06:11Because he is hidden by his cloak,
06:12The physical characteristics are
06:15It's completely unknown.
06:18King Monster is
06:19As soon as I learned of Condorman's existence,
06:22To defeat Condorman,
06:24Haika,
06:25They will be sent to Japan one after another.
06:28and,
06:29To lure out Condorman,
06:31The people of Japan,
06:32It's painful,
06:34Carry out the plan.
06:36for example,
06:37Panic over food shortages,
06:39By causing a crude oil panic,
06:41All of Japan,
06:43It will be chaos.
06:45In addition,
06:46Using sludge and garbage,
06:48It deteriorates the environment,
06:50It also creates the situation.
06:53and,
06:53As the monster directing these plans,
06:56Impersonating the Minister of Food,
06:58Zeni Crazy,
07:00causing oil shortages,
07:01Oil snake,
07:03and,
07:04Destroying the environment,
07:05Smogton,
07:06Garbage,
07:07and,
07:08Hedrongar and others will appear.
07:10With the monsters of the monster clan,
07:16Condorman continues to fight to the death,
07:19In the final episode,
07:20survived,
07:21Mad Sider and
07:23You'll face off against Hedrongar.
07:26Mad Sider is
07:27Make will-o'-the-wisp appear in the city,
07:30In Operation Phantom,
07:31To Condorman,
07:32I'll challenge you to a final showdown,
07:35That strategy was also repelled,
07:36Condor Thunder,
07:38To Mad Sider,
07:40I'll finish him off.
07:42but,
07:43In another place,
07:44Hedronger,
07:45Make the mountain erupt,
07:47By spreading toxic sludge,
07:49The people of the city,
07:50I was trying to murder him.
07:53The toxic sludge
07:54As we approached the city,
07:56Condorman is
07:57With Dragon Fire,
07:59It burns the toxic sludge.
08:01and,
08:02Along with that burning poisonous sludge,
08:05Hedrongar also burns up.
08:08Save the city,
08:09Condorman is relieved.
08:11but,
08:12But it was only for a moment,
08:14The King Monster appears.
08:16King Monster is
08:18While destroying the city,
08:20Condorman is cornered,
08:22Condor Jr.'s
08:23With the support of children,
08:25Condorman was encouraged,
08:27vice versa,
08:28In the eyes of the King Monster,
08:30On the forehead,
08:31Pierce the feather-shaped symbol.
08:34King Monster,
08:36I thought I had defeated it, but
08:38The King Monster is alive and well.
08:40Leaving behind a parting shot,
08:42I'll leave the place.
08:44Condorman is
08:45Condor Jr. and
08:47To many people,
08:48We will continue to do so in the future.
08:50King Monster and
08:51I vowed to fight the bad guys,
08:54Towards the sun,
08:55In the flying scene,
08:57The program ends.
