In the late 1970s, when the flying saucer craze was at its peak, Bankid: UFO Wars was born. It combined the influence of that boom with a team of five heroes, including children.
00:21In the late 1970s, when the flying saucer boom was in full swing, the influence of that boom and the combination of a group of five heroes, including children, led to the creation of Flying Saucer Wars, or Ban-Kid.
00:39It was also actor Eiji Okuda's first starring role.
00:45Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:51UFO Wars, BanKid was produced by Nippon Television and Toho and aired for a total of 26 episodes from 1976 to 1977.
01:06The story begins when the Bukimi aliens send a large flying saucer, Bukimi Blacker, from a planet in the galaxy undergoing a transformation as the first wave of their planned mass migration to Earth in 20 years' time.
01:24In addition, the Spooky Aliens decide to target and attack children in the present, who they believe will get in the way of their plans for 20 years from now.
01:35Upon learning of this, space scientist Dr. Uzaki forms a space guerrilla unit called the Bankids, made up of five people, including his grandson and his tutor.
01:48Then one day, a flying saucer from the Spooky Aliens flies in and shoots a ray at the children, making them follow commands.By chance, the female photographer who discovers it finds herself targeted by the Spooky Alien, Captain Esgal.
02:07However, Pegasus sees through Captain Esgal's disguise as his unknown younger brother, Akio, and repels him.
02:15This is where the battle between Bankid and the Spooky Aliens begins.
02:25Now, let me explain about the main characters, the Bankids, who are made up of five people.
02:31First, there is the Bankid, a youth flying saucer guerrilla unit organized by Dr. Uzaki after learning of the invasion of the Spooky Aliens.Their aircraft have a different number of stars, a yellow one.
02:46The leader of the Bankids is Pegasus, who is transformed by his tutor, Tenma Sho, and his suit is red and white with one star.
02:56His special move is the Iron Cross Star.
03:00Ryuichi Uzaki transforms into the sub-leader dragon, and his suit is yellow with two stars.
03:08He is a caring older brother and shows no mercy to anyone who harms him.
03:14Junji Uzaki transforms into Rabbit, and his suit is yellow with five stars.
03:22Ryuichi's classmate and the strongest member of the group, Ushijima Jiro, transforms into an ox, wearing a blue suit with three stars.
03:32Finally, Ryuichi's classmate, Shiratori Honoka, who is a first-year high school student, transforms into a swan, and her suit is pink with four stars.
03:44Additionally, Goin Kyoko and Uzaki Iwao, who organized the Bankids, are space scientists, and the Inkyo room contains a radar activation device and a coded transmission device, while the inside of the Shagama is a radar monitor.
04:00However, the existence of the Bankids is a secret, even within the family.
04:08The equipment of the Bankid consists of a large fighter plane, the Bankid Mother, which can be separated and combined into an Ace Fighter, three Baby Fighters, and a Sister Fighter.
04:21The transformation process begins with Pegasus shouting "Bunkid, change," followed by the other members saying "Bunkid, go."
04:34There is no detailed information about the powered suit worn after transformation, but it is believed to significantly enhance his strength and jumping ability.
04:44Weapons: A handheld weapon used to fight minors is a banged gun, stored in a holster on a belt.
04:55In addition, the portable weapons carried by each member of the team, such as Dragon's nunchucks, Swan's high jumping pole used for swan jumping, and Rabbit's slingshot, were also used in the film.
05:09Opposing the Ban Kid are the weaponized immature alien invaders who plan to conquer and migrate to Earth as the demise of motherhood approaches.
05:23Because it can disguise itself as a human, in the film, its true identity is revealed through exploration after the line, "There is a weaponized minor among us."
05:34Also, when touched, the plants would instantly wither and die, or dogs would bark, revealing their true identity.
05:44And it was Commander Guzare who came to Earth as the commander in charge of conquering the Earth.
05:50At first, his personality seemed cold and cruel, but in fact, he was acting in such a strict manner due to the pressure to ensure the successful migration to Earth.
06:04They are subordinates of Commander Guzare, or the leaders of the action squad, but they have different appearances from Commander Guzare, and each of them controls a distinctive flying saucer to fight the Bankids.
06:17The fighters also wear all-black suits and are given letters and numbers that correspond to their commander.
06:27The head has an exposed brain-like part that is integrated with the ears, and if this area is attacked, it will become weakened.
06:36Commander Guzare commands from a space station, and on Earth the Eerie Blacker, the UFO mothership, serves as the base.
06:47Now, finally, it's the final episode.
06:52Finally, the eerie blacker approaches Gamagori Kamikaze.
06:57In such situations, parents who suspect their children of some kind of secret go to Gamagori to find out what it is.
07:07Pegasus manages to escape while somehow managing to deceive his parents, but then he finds himself in an all-out battle with the eerie Blacker, led by Vice Admiral Tonari from the movie, and accompanied by Minas-type, Dome-type, and Inertia-type flying saucers.
07:24After a fierce battle, we finally defeat the Creepy Blacker.
07:28Afterwards, guided by a female creepy adult named Bellune, the Pegasus' come face to face with Commander Guzare.
07:37Commander Guzare tells the brothers that he would like to meet with their grandfather, or perhaps the retired man, and the brothers agree.
07:45During the meeting, Commander Guzare apologizes for the fighting that has taken place up until now, and begins to explain that the migration to Earth was necessary because motherhood was in danger of extinction, and that surprisingly, he is tired of fighting the Bankids.
08:05They then give up on migrating to Earth and declare that they will head back into space to search for a planet they can migrate to through peaceful means.
08:18During one of these meetings, Verune introduces Commander Guzare and the retired man, but Commander Guzare refuses Verune's return to the Uncanny because he has broken the rules of the Uncanny.
08:30The brothers suggest that they live in a space house, but Verune declines, saying that he will live quietly somewhere on Earth, and then disappears.
08:42As promised, Commander Guzare left Earth in his flying saucer.
08:48And finally, thanks to the efforts of the Bankid, the show ends with a scene in which peace returns to Earth once again.
08:58Now, let's take a look at Bankid's performance.
09:05The achievements of the Bankid

13:10In the final episode, the enemy commander offers to take the stairs.
13:14I was stunned by the scene where he apologized.
13:18To make peace with the enemy
13:21I also thought that this would be impossible for a hero show.
