Galaxy Gale, Sasuraiger is the final installment in the J-9 series trilogy, following Galactic Gale Braiger, and Galaxy Blast, Bakusinger. While adhering to the core concepts and history of the previous J-9 series, this work places greater emphasis on action-packed depictions of battles against the evil syndicate.
00:21Ginga Hayate, Sasuraigar, is the final installment of the J9 series trilogy, following Ginga Whirlwind, Brygar, and Ginga Rep, Bakushinger.
00:37While following the basic content and history of the previous J9 series, this work also puts a greater emphasis on the action of fighting against an evil syndicate.
00:49Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:56Galaxy Shippu, Sasuraiger was produced by International Film Company and aired for a total of 43 episodes from 1983 to 1984.
01:09The story begins in the 30th century AD, when humanity has expanded its habitat throughout the solar system and now has over 80 colonized planets.
01:21Major wars had subsided and on the surface it seemed like peaceful life had returned, but in the underworld, huge criminal organizations such as the Bloody Syndicate had risen to power, ushering in an era of decadence and corruption.
01:37In this unsettling situation, IC Bruce, a historical target on the asteroid casino planet, also known as J9 Land, is approached by Bloody God, the casino manager and the big boss of the underworld Bloody Syndicate, to make a legitimate big bet.
01:58The gamble was whether we could visit all 50 major planets in the new solar system within a year.
02:08Bruce decides to pioneer and bet his entire fortune on the gamble.
02:15Also present were three young men who had a grudge against the Syndicate, who joined the journey, and thus WJ9 was formed.
02:25And despite the Syndicate's dirty obstructions, they continue their journey towards their goal.
02:34Here, we will introduce the main characters, the members of WJ9.
02:40Before that, the origin of the name WJ9 is a combination of the J of Jupiter and July 9th, the deadline for betting.
02:52First of all, the first member, Bruce Carl Bernstein, commonly known as IC Bruce, was from an upper class background,
03:03His intellect is as precise and prestigious as an IC, but he also has the boldness to take on bets with syndicates.
03:13Locke Unlock, nicknamed Surprise Locke, is, as his name suggests, a master gunner who is searching for the guard captain's father and the robbers who attacked the guards.
03:26Beat Mackenzie, commonly known as Oto-Boke Beat, was originally a racer, and after joining WJ-9, he was in charge of piloting the J-93 and Sasuraiger.
03:39And the last one, Birdie Award, nicknamed Whimsical Birdie, attended the military's special intelligence training school, so she is strong in information and cryptography, and is also a very mischievous young lady.
03:57In addition to these four main characters, there is D.D. Richman, who is in charge of information gathering, supply procurement, and accounting.
04:07He was originally the one who designed and manufactured the J-93 and was supposed to sell it to Bruce, but when he didn't receive the payment he ended up accompanying him.
04:20And the couple who had a secret relationship on the J-93, Jimmy Kenjo and Susie Jiang, have since become mechanics and cooks, respectively.
04:31In addition, Inspector Organ mistakes Bruce for a robber and chases him.
04:39Also, Bruce has deposited all of his assets as gambling money.
04:46The members of WJ-9 are left penniless and end up experiencing a budget-friendly trip, earning money along the way in order to continue their journey.
04:56Here, WJ-9 explains about the high-performance mecha, J-93, that he will be using on his journey.
05:06Its official name is Steam Locomotive Type Private Space Train J-93, but its appearance is usually that of a steam locomotive.
05:17However, during battle, it transforms into the gigantic robot Sasuraiger, measuring 22.55m in length and weighing 72.5t.
05:30However, unlike the first two films, the Synchron System is not utilized for transformation.
05:37Also, unlike the robots in the previous two films, its main weapons are long-range weapons such as beam rifles and beam gatling guns, and it is not equipped with close-range weapons such as swords, and it runs on gasoline as fuel.
05:52In addition, in its pre-transformation train form, it is equipped with twin beam gun mounts, a single beam turret, and a large-caliber beam cannon.
06:04These weapons can also be used when transformed into Sasuraiger.
06:09Here we are introduced to the Syndicates, including the Bloody Syndicate, a shadowy criminal organization that will try to sabotage or even kill WJ9 after making a bet with Bruce.
06:25Syndicates are similar to modern-day gangs, and their sources of funding include a wide range of illegal activities, such as running casinos, engaging in races, operating mines using forced labor from local residents, and developing and manufacturing stimulants.
06:44Each syndicate has its own territory, and each syndicate cannot operate in another syndicate's territory.
06:51However, when the balance of power is upset, conflicts within the syndicate are not uncommon, and power struggles are depicted in the play.
07:03The major syndicates have powerful military forces equipped with mobile mecha from the Synchron System, and they also possess nuclear missiles. In some respects, they surpass the power of national governments and are the de facto rulers of some planets.
07:18Also among these syndicates is the Nubian Syndicate, made up of Nubian teachers who follow the teachings of Kamen Kamen.
07:28However, he finds himself on the run after tricking the Bloody Syndicate into carrying out the Seiatum Festival, which sets him on a depression-filled journey across the galaxy.
07:39Now, the race is finally coming to an end.
07:45During their journey, they evaded interference from the Bloody Syndicate and returned safely to Earth just nine seconds before the one-year time limit, at 11:59:51 PM on July 8th, marking the victory for WJ9.
08:03However, amid the cheers at the stadium in Goal, the Bloody Syndicate's hired assassin, Gellner, accidentally shoots Arrowco, the boss of the Bloody Syndicate, while intending to shoot his arch-enemy, Locke, and finds himself on the run from the organization.
08:22Amidst all this chaos, Jimmy and Susie announce their marriage.
08:29In a celebratory mood, the two head out into the city, but the syndicate kidnaps and abducts Susie.
08:38Jimmy attempts to rescue them, but is shot in the arm, and just as it seems he is about to die, Gellner appears, rescues the two, tells them the location of their final battle with Rock, and leaves.
08:53In fact, due to illness, Gellner had only a short time left to live and intended to settle things with Locke before he died.
09:02Rock wins a one-on-one fight with Gellner at a flagship field designated by Gellner, but the Syndicate then tries to kill Rock.
09:13Just as Rock is surrounded by gangsters from the Syndicate, J93 appears and rescues Rock.
09:21Later, at the church where Jimmy and Susie's wedding is being held, as WJ9 members are celebrating, the Syndicate gangsters storm in again.
09:35They aim their guns, but then their boss, Bloody God, appears, gathers his men together, hands Bruce a signed document approving the race victory, and leaves with his men.
09:50Afterwards, the J9 members of Bryger, the Repputai members of Bakushinger, and the members of WJ9 appear on the screen, and the program ends.
10:05Now, let's take a look at Sasuraiger's performance.
