This work, Future Police Urashiman, gained popularity as an anime series featuring mechanic action, futuristic settings, and elements of science fiction such as time travel and time paradoxes, all infused with Tatsunoko Production's signature comedic flair.
00:17Today's topic is Urashiman, the future police.
00:21This work, Future Police, and Urashiman became popular as anime programs that incorporate mecha action, futuristic themes, sci-fi settings such as time travel and time paradoxes, and the comical elements that are unique to Tatsunoko Productions.
00:44Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:51Future Police Urashiman was produced by Tatsunoko Productions and aired for a total of 50 episodes in 1983.
01:01The story begins in Tokyo in 1983, when an unlicensed boy is engaged in a spectacular car chase with a police vehicle, but his car crashes through a guardrail and is thrown into the air. At the same time, an ominous bolt of lightning appears in the sky and the boy's car suddenly disappears.
01:24Then, when the boy's car appears on the road again, there is a police vehicle he has never seen before, and they collide, completely destroying the car.
01:36The place where he appeared was Neo Tokyo in the future, or perhaps 2050.
01:44Claude, the police officer driving the police vehicle, catches the boy.
01:50It is later revealed that the boy is Urashima, a time traveler who has traveled back in time due to the Urashima Effect, a phenomenon that has yet to be explained, even in the future.
02:04Also, the boy who lost his memory due to the time slip is given the name Urashima Ryu.
02:10And for unknown purposes of use and surveillance,
02:17Ryu is appointed as a detective for Magnapolis 38, a mobile mecha document agency, and he finds himself thrown into the fight against the criminal organization, Necrime.
02:30Let me start by explaining the main character, Urashima Ryu.
02:34Due to the energy generated by the explosion of the psycho laser transmitter, he is caught up in a time slip, and after the time slip he loses all of his memories.
02:47Her real name is unknown, but her age is estimated to be 16 years old.
02:53He is a bright, friendly young man with a strong sense of justice, but he also often acts recklessly and without thinking about the consequences.
03:02On the other hand, he also has a sensitive side, as he becomes mentally exhausted because he cannot regain his memories.
03:10Due to the Urashima Effect, he has extraordinary athletic ability, but is unable to control it, and is placed in custody of the Mobile Mecha Documents, which become Mobile Display.
03:22However, in the second half of the show, he is able to control his powers as Urashima and experiences time travel again.
03:33First, let me introduce Claude, Urashima Ryu's colleague at the Mobile Mecha Document Department.
03:42He is a handsome, intelligent, and skilled detective, but he is also an extreme narcissist and very soft on women.
03:50In his work, he has excellent shooting and athletic ability, and his gun handling skills are particularly top-notch.
03:59At first, he acts like an elite, but as he teams up with Lou, he gradually becomes more of a comedic character.
04:08His other partner, a female detective named Sophia, is an unusual character who was originally a nun's apprentice before being scouted and becoming a detective.
04:20She is a female character who usually uses cutesy language, and people are more interested in her precognitive abilities, which have a greater influence on Lou, than her abilities as a detective.
04:33And Lou's boss, Inspector Gondo, who founded the Mobile Mecha Documents, is criticized within the police force as a money pit because he has equipped his department with numerous state-of-the-art specialized equipment, but his subordinates call him Oyasu-san and love him.
04:51Also, Mare, the cat who accidentally travels back in time with Lou, was once Pyrrha's pet cat when she was young.
05:03The mobile mecha document Magnapolis 38 where Lou and the others work or live is a massive fortress with six bulletproof tires, and it's a total firefight.
05:16Even though it is a police station, it is a widespread crime, so it is necessary to move around in response to the crime, and there is no designated area for the initial investigation.
05:28Another piece of equipment possessed by the Mobile Mecha Document is the Magna Beetle, which was created by modifying the Volkswagen that Lou was driving when he traveled back in time.
05:40Normally, it is an undercover police car driven by Lou, but when in operation, a folding police light stored in the roof on the passenger side appears, and police markings appear on both side doors.
05:56Additionally, Claude and Sophia are each equipped with their own special machines, such as a spoiler and a Chesque.
06:06In addition to the machines and other equipment, there is also a mobile display armor suit and battle protector that protects the body.
06:13When the Magna Beetle or Spoiler is moving, the seat deforms and is then attached, after which the wearer is ejected from the roof of the vehicle.
06:26Lou is also given a Magna Blaster, a modified Rival Burjou.
06:32Ryu and the Mobile Mecha Document are opposed by Necrime, a criminal organization led by Soutofuler.
06:45And the man who took the Führer's orders and was his direct opponent was none other than the most overflowing and ambitious officer, Ludwig.
06:55In the film, Soutofurrer is trapped in a cryocapsule and banished to space.
07:01He is the second leader of Neclime.
07:06However, due to Soutofuler's return with Cosmo Power and the betrayal of his comrades, it was thought that he had died at the end of the show.
07:17However, after the battle with Soutofuler and Lu was resolved, he stubbornly made a comeback.
07:24Ludwig has a loyal subordinate named Zitanda who serves him like a butler.
07:32His behavior gives him a comical, strong character, but he was also an expert in martial arts.
07:39Also, by Ludwig's side is a beautiful woman named Mylène, who is always by his side.
07:46In fact, she is a watchdog sent by the Souto Fuhrer with her memory erased, and it is later revealed that she is the Fuhrer's daughter.
07:56In addition, the Stinger Unit, the elite operational force for the operation, is facing off against Lu.
08:03And then there's Soutoführer, the founder of the criminal organization Necrime, an elderly man with a prosthetic right leg and the same scar on his shoulder as Lou.
08:18In 1983, he was researching Flowfushi, and as a by-product of that research, he invented the Psycho Laser, which allows him to freely control others. After that, he was viewed as a dangerous person and was pursued by the police and criminal organizations.
08:36He tries to use his powers to go back in time and rejuvenate Lou, but fails, so Ludwig gives up on him and locks him in a freezing capsule and leaves him abandoned in space.
08:52Later, he awakens to his cosmo power in space, acquires supernatural powers, and returns to Earth, but does not become Flowfushi, and in 1983, Lou refuses to return, so he expires and dies.
09:14Now, finally, it's the final episode.
09:17After a long and deadly battle, peace comes to Neo Tokyo when the criminal organization Necrime is destroyed thanks to the Orbital Mecha Documents and the efforts of Lou and his friends.
09:30However, the lack of crimes committed by Necrime also meant that there was no need for the Orbital Mecha Documents.
09:38As a result, the police organization decided to abolish the Orbital Mecha Documents and ordered Lou and his team to disband.
09:48Claude and Sophia are disappointed, but when Inspector Gondo tells them that Lou has won the Christmas Star Award, the highest honorary citizen award and the most prestigious award in the country, everyone is in an uproar.
10:02However, Lou was not there; he had been visiting Ludwig's grave.
10:11With the battle with Necrime now over, Lou has no purpose in life, and in front of the grave he talks about going on a journey to sort out his feelings.
10:22After Lu leaves, Zitanda visits the cemetery and vows to become the third leader of Necrime.
10:31When Lou returns to the activation mechanism document, he tells his companions that he is going on a journey, but when he hears that the Christmas Star Award will be awarded, he puts his plans on hold for the time being.
10:42On the day of the award ceremony, Ryu is awarded the title of honorary citizen for defeating the Fuhrer and Ludwig and destroying Necrime.
10:53Thinking about them, who were once friends, or rather, official species, brought mixed emotions.
11:01However, at that moment, the awards stage explodes and a man named Jitanda appears, calling himself the third president.
11:10As Zitanda continues his bombing attack, Lou retaliates, forcing Zitanda to flee the city.
11:17When Luu sees Zitanda cornered and in just his underwear, he suddenly feels helpless and tells his companions that he is going on a journey again.
11:29Suddenly, Ludwig, Milene, and Stinger Wolf, members of Necrime who were supposed to be dead, appear and snipe Lou.
11:40Lou was shot and thought to be dead, but the bullet only grazed his head and he survived.
11:48However, although he was saved, his hairstyle was pitiful and vice versa.
11:55In the midst of all this, Ludwig once again declares Neclime's activities.
12:01Therefore, the battle with the activation mechanism document continues, and the show ends with Inspector Gondo leaving the stage as if to quickly pursue Ludwig and the others who have escaped.
12:17Now, let's take a look at Brushman in action.

16:06At the time of broadcast, Ludwig van der Leipzig, who adhered to the aesthetics of evil, and Desler, the commander of Space Battleship Yamato.
16:14I thought they looked alike because their behavior, personality, and facial color were similar.

16:24So, I'll see you around here again this time.
