In the 1970s, when Tokusatsu shows featuring giant robots began gaining recognition, this series stood out as a unique robot program. It featured a robot not named after a specific model but identified by the number 17. Unlike typical robots controlled solely by humans, this one possessed its own will and even human emotions. Furthermore, it pioneered a new style where the toy manufacturer serving as the sponsor actively participated in designing the robot and other aspects of the production.
00:21The 1970s, when giant robot special effects programs began to gain recognition
00:29Use the number 17 instead of a specific robot name
00:33Not only is it controlled by humans,
00:36Robots with their own will and human emotions will play an active role
00:41This was a unique robot show.
00:45Also, the sponsoring toy manufacturer
00:49It was a new style of work that also involved robot design.
00:54Now let's take a look at this piece.
00:58The original author of Daitetsujin One Seven is Shotaro Ishimori, the creator of Kamen Rider.
01:06In 1977, the manga version was serialized in Bokenoh and other magazines.
01:12A total of 35 episodes of the live-action version were aired that same year.
01:17The story is about Dr. Sawara of the International Peace Corps Science Institute who protects humanity from disasters.
01:26It all started with the development of a super computer brain to protect the global environment.
01:33Brain, who has all the manufacturing capabilities, recognizes humanity as an enemy that is destroying the global environment.
01:41Together with Professor Hassler, one of the developers of Brain, he plots the annihilation of humanity.
01:47He then builds a giant robot to carry out his plan, but concludes that Earth needs humans.
01:57The 17th robot will be born, with a completely opposite way of thinking to Brain.
02:03When Brain finds out about this, he tries to destroy this robot that thinks differently from him.
02:11It was discovered by chance by a young boy named Minami Saburo.
02:15The robot is named 17 and recognizes the boy who freed him, Saburo, as his partner.
02:24You'll be facing off against Blaine.
02:26First, let me explain about the main character, a boy named Minami Saburo.
02:35He is a 13-year-old junior high school student whose parents and sister were killed by Brain's robot.
02:44And by chance, he frees One Seven, who was a loner in the cave.
02:49Saburo was left alone outside of Tengai, but he later became a member of the Red Muffler Squad.
02:58He is taken in by Dr. Sawara.
03:00The Red Muffler Corps is a military organization affiliated with the International Peace Corps and has branches all over the world.
03:09Originally, his job was to protect Brain from the outside world.
03:14After Brain's rebellion, they become enemies.
03:18Weapons include fighter jets and fluorescent firearms such as bazookas.
03:25They wear uniforms similar to those of the Self-Defense Forces and a red scarf around their neck, which is the origin of Kaimei.
03:31Here we will explain about One Seven, a giant robot with a will of its own.
03:39The name One Seven comes from Brain's Auto Diode system.
03:46It is the first robot to utilize One Seven.
03:49Like Brain, it was also a self-aware robot.
03:54One Seven was developed with the intention of destroying humanity.
03:59He begins to have thoughts of rebelling against Brain.
04:03And its capabilities are outstanding, with a built-in small repair robot robot.
04:11It has super-productive capabilities that allow it to repair and improve itself from most damage and breakdowns.
04:19Initially, it was used to communicate with One Seven, who could not speak human language.
04:26A special know-how helmet is used exclusively for Saburo.
04:31For everyone except Saburo, the only way to indicate their intentions was through digital eye patterns: yes or no.
04:39However, later upgrades allow them to communicate in human language.
04:47It also has a cockpit inside, and in the final episode, the young boy Saburo pilots the One Seven.
04:57His special move is the Graviton attack, which opens his abdomen and launches a gravitational force at the enemy.
05:05When firing, both eyes will glow red and an auto or gravitational sound will be heard along with a certain movement.
05:15One Seven also has four different patterns of movement activity.
05:21First, Fortress One Seven will be in a crouched position with its arms and legs bent.
05:29When fighting enemies, it transforms into a bipedal humanoid combat form known as Battle One Seven.
05:37From the Fortress One Seven state, the dorsal runway is deployed as a wing in the reverse position to become the Flight One Seven.
05:46And then there's Combat Flight One Seven, which unfolds its wings from the Combat One Seven state and flies through the air.
05:56The specifications for the Battle One Seven are a height of 50m, a weight of 200t, and a maximum flight speed of Mach 6.
06:06The One Seven is also equipped with an autonomous Sigcon Jet unmanned aircraft.
06:15Brain is the enemy who faces off against One Seven and Saburo.
06:23It was originally a computer for peaceful purposes developed by a team of scientists led by Dr. Sawara.
06:31This computer has an eye in the center and is made up of pipes that connect spheres in a radial pattern.
06:38It also has a built-in auto diode, which acts as a complete self-defense system, and has grown in size since its development.
06:49Professor Hasler, the evil scientist who forced Brain to choose the destruction of humanity, develops many robots to confront One Seven.
07:00However, Brain treats Professor Hasler as his subordinate.
07:06At the same time, Brain and others, who were formed by breaking out villains from prisons around the world, will also face off against the Red Muffler Squad.
07:16Within a 2km radius of the Brain, there is an impenetrable zone, or Brain Area, which is an ironclad, absolute defense.
07:26To counter a brain with such threatening capabilities,
07:31Dr. Sawara develops a computer called Big Angel, which is identical to Brain and equipped with an anti-rebellion device.
07:44The final episode will be a tough battle with Brain.
07:50Brain, unable to defeat One Seven no matter what, tries to lure One Seven into the Brain Area by taking Saburo hostage.
08:00This is because if One Seven enters the Brain Area, it will be taken away from control by a powerful radio wave attack.
08:10Saburo can only watch as One Seven slowly approaches the Brain Area.
08:18He is rescued by the Red Muffler Squad just before he is shot.
08:24With the rescue confirmed, One Seven defeats the enemy robot with a graviton attack.
08:30One Seven was already in the brain area.
08:35Then, many magic arms extend from the brain and restrain One Seven.
08:42Seeing this, young Saburo enters One Seven.
08:47Professor Hasler is confident of victory against the immobile One Seven.
08:52Brain gives you a program sheet to control One Seven.
08:58Once this program is set, One Seven will become Brain's puppet.
09:04In this state, Big Angel tells One Seven that the only way to rescue him is to destroy Brain.
09:14Hearing this, Dr. Sahara destroyed the brain with its self-regenerating device.
09:20I'm instructing you to rescue One Seven in the few minutes it takes for Brain to regenerate.
09:27In this situation, Saburo, a boy inside One Seven, spoke to One Seven.
09:35However, there was no response from One Seven.
09:40For some reason, only the robot starts up and takes Saburo to the secret cockpit.
09:48Then, with the help of young Saburo, One Seven escapes from the Brain Area.
09:55After escaping, Professor Hasler attacks you. Destroy the Hasler Fortress.
10:01However, Big Angel tells him that the only way to defeat Brain is for One Seven to slam into him.
10:12And to enter the Brain Area, you need to pilot the robot.
10:18One Seven enters the Brain Area under the control of Saburo.
10:24Just before crashing into the Brain, Saburo is informed of his whereabouts and his cockpit is forcibly ejected.
10:33Then he crashes into Brain, causing a huge explosion.
10:40The program ends with a scene of Saburo, crying as he looks at the scene amid the huge explosion and says goodbye.
10:51Now let's take a look at the Great Iron Man One Seven in action.
10:58Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
11:11Wow! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Great Iron Man One Seven
11:22The burning red sun, the sparkling platinum
11:29The iron face of the sea and sky, the roar or cry of the wind?
11:42A beautiful plan for great destruction, let's build Cy17
11:52There is nothing else that can be saved
11:57Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow
12:02That is Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Great Iron Man
12:12One Seven
12:20Burning, sweet and rough fruit, breaking the chains into steel
12:26Shining brightly
12:34The swell of the waves or the spray
12:40Grain Corps Grand Fleet
12:46Go Battle One Seven
12:50The one to meet him is Daitetsugin
12:55Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow
13:00That is Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo
13:06Great Iron Man One Seven
13:13Oh wow ...
13:431,2,3,1,7
13:47A black shadow sways in the great sand formation of the broken wilderness
13:56Behold, a giant iron man, rising in a spiral is it a tornado?
14:09Plane Robot Big Earthquake
14:16Fly, Flight One-Seven The End of the World is currently being fixed
14:29That is it Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
14:37What did you think?
14:50Transforming robots were common in anime, but it was rare to see a special effects robot transform into multiple different forms, and I remember thinking it was really cool.
15:02It was also refreshing to see a robot communicate using human language.
15:10We are now in the 21st century, and it seems likely that we will soon be able to create artificial intelligence that can speak freely.
