This work is produced as a commemorative program for Tsuburaya Productions' 10th anniversary, aiming for “simple and straightforward hero action.” It is also broadcast in Thailand where it gaines popularity, leading to the production and release of an original theatrical film.
00:00Hello. Thank you for watching today. Today's topic is Jumborg Ace.
00:22This work, Jumborg Ace, gained immense popularity with its storyline that differs from other giant hero shows, in which heroes are transformed from ordinary Cessna planes and cars that are given to them by a sister planet in space.
00:42Another groundbreaking element was the appearance of two robot heroes midway through the show, each one adapting to different situations.
00:54Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:57Jumborg Ace was produced by Mainichi Broadcasting System and Tsuburaya Productions, and aired a total of 50 episodes in 1973.
01:14The story begins with a scene of a Gross-manufactured flying object approaching Earth with the goal of destroying humanity.
01:22Sensing something strange, the Earth Defense Force, PAD, scrambles fighter jets, discovers the mysterious flying object, and attacks, but loses sight of it.
01:36Later, a monster appears at the dam, and Pad begins to attack, but during the battle, the protagonist Naoki Tachibana's older brother, Pad's captain, Shinya Tachibana, is killed in action while protecting a child.
01:51In his grief, a monster appears in Tokyo, and in his rage, Naoki recklessly launches a suicide mission in his Cessna, but is instead attacked and crashes.
02:05Then a green light appears and covers the Cessna.
02:09When Naoki regains consciousness, the Emerald Alien appears before him and praises his brother's courage, giving him a giant cyborg, Janborg Ace, to use against the Growth Alien.
02:24Naoki then transforms from the Cessna into Jumborg Ace, defeats the monsters that continue to destroy the city, and avenges his brother's death.
02:36He then decides to defeat the Grossians, who are plotting the annihilation of humanity.
02:42First, let me introduce the main character, Tachibana Naoki.
02:50He is a pilot and mechanic working for Odone Aviation, and is living with his older brother, who is also the pad captain.
02:59His brother was killed by the Gross aliens, and when he took revenge, he was given Janborg Ace by the Emerald aliens who had come from space.
03:10At the beginning of the show, his personality was characterized by his impulsive and impulsive behavior, and he was often shunned by the PAD members.
03:23However, due to the death of Pad and the knight commander, which he caused, he begins to place greater importance on cooperation and doing the right thing.
03:33Other characters include Kazuya, the child of his late brother, Shigeko, Giri's older sister, and Daisaku Ban, the president of Odone Aircraft.
03:46The Emerald Alien, who regards Earth as his sibling and mother, gave Jumborg Ace to Naoki.
03:56He usually appears as Jean Cessna, the Cessna that Naoki appears in, but when Naoki shouts "Jean Fight!", he transforms from the Cessna into
04:06With the call of "flight return," we return to the original Cessna.
04:10However, the transformation process begins with the brother's watch, which is one of his wrists, alerting him to the activities of the Clousians.
04:19The condition is that it shines in an emerald color.
04:24The cockpit is located behind the left eye, and the pilot, Naoki, is wearing brainwave transmission headgear, headphones,
04:32By attaching the control wire while standing and moving, you can control Jumborg Ace at will.
04:41During battle, the enemy and the surrounding situation are displayed on a large screen installed in front of you.
04:50The scope of activities is not limited to the Earth, but can also be carried out in space.
04:55Its only weak point is the fuel tank built into its back and the energy consumption caused by the fuel.
05:05When fuel is low, a warning light on the waist buckle will flash along with a warning sound.
05:12Special moves include the Beam Emerald, a destructive ray that it fires from its forehead; the Heading Killer, a rough move in which it flies and charges at the enemy while emitting light from the Jump Cutter on its head; and beam moves such as the Hunting Flasher and Golden Leather.
05:33Also, from episode 27 onwards, Janbo 9 appears, the second Janbo, given to Naoki by the Emerald Alien after Janbo Ace was defeated by Jankiller and could no longer be used.
05:49In Janborg 9, Naoki, who is riding in a Honda Z, commonly known as the Junker, transforms with the shouts of "Jan fight" and "Two dash," and returns to his original car with the shout of "Quick return."
06:05The exterior is two-tone red and silver, just like the car, and features prominent rivets and a chest track.
06:14Since it is based on a car, it does not have the ability to fly, but on the ground it can travel at speeds approaching Mach speeds.
06:24In addition, the driving method will be different from the Jumborg Ace, which involves tracing physical movements, and will involve using a car's steering wheel, pedals, and manual shift.
06:37His special moves include the Boomerang Cutter, which he uses to throw the cross cutter attached to his head at the enemy, the destructive rays Golden Laser and Handing Flasher, and his most powerful move, Dynamite Power, which involves him covering himself in energy and slamming into the enemy.
06:57Also, in the second half of the show, during an urgent operation, he uses a teleport ray to move from the cockpit of the Jumborg Ace to the cockpit of the Jumborg Nine.
07:14Supporting Jumborg Ace and Jumborg Nine is the Earth Defense Force, Pad, whose official name is the Protective Attack Team.
07:24It has branches all over the world, and its Japanese branch is located underground in a certain mountain range.
07:31There are related facilities such as research laboratories and rocket launch sites in various locations, which are used as needed.
07:39The first commander of the Japanese branch, Tachibana Shinya, and the second commander, Kishi Ryuzo, both died in battle.
07:48After that, the third captain, Hamada Mamoru, was transferred and the fourth captain, Murakami Hiroshi, took over, which is a rare situation for a hero show.
08:01In the end, the only members of the team who played an active role in the 1000th episode of the program were Goro Kumai and Setsuko Nomura.
08:10In addition, the pad suits provided to pad crew members are heat-resistant, cold-resistant, and bulletproof, and because they are highly airtight, they can also be used as space suits for short periods of time.
08:23And as a weapon, he carries a pad gun, which is a laser gun.
08:33Deployed as an air pad, the Fighting Star is a large aircraft or mobile base that can accommodate six passengers, has a top speed of Mach 6.6, and is equipped with missiles and rockets.
08:48From episode 38, a similar machine, Hunter 9, appears.
08:56The Jet Condor is a small, two-seater, high-speed fighter jet with a top speed of Mach 7 and is equipped with rockets.
09:06Aerospace is also possible, and in the final episode, he is active in the field, enjoying his passion.
09:11In addition, special ground vehicles such as pad cars based on the Mazda Savanna, the flyable Vamos 1, the amphibious Vamos 2, and pad jeeps were also deployed.
09:27The Growth Aliens are enemies of Janbo Ace and Janbo Nine.
09:38Its home planet is located about 15 light years from Earth and it plots to take over the entire universe.
09:45In fact, the Emerald Aliens, who gave Janborg to Earth, are also at war with the Gross Aliens, and will be providing support to their sister planet, Earth.
09:58Antigone, who becomes the captain of the Earth-bound forces, is a cold-hearted and brutal character who can transform living things and inorganic objects on Earth into monsters using rays emitted from her sexual organs.
10:11In the play, the second commander, Madgone, and the third commander, Satangone, who were sent from the planet Grosse after Antigone's death, also appear.
10:25However, they were all defeated by Janborg and Pad, so from episode 46 onwards, Demongone, the commander-in-chief of Planet Gross, appears.
10:35He has a knack for having both male and female faces, and uses both genders depending on the strategy.
10:43He wears a staff that can fire various beam attacks and a cape that absorbs shock.
10:51Using devil telepathy, which allows him to freely control objects, he pushes Janborg and Naoki to the brink of defeat in the final battle.
11:05Now, finally, it's the final episode.
11:09At the end of the day, Naoki and Kazuya go shopping in Tokyo, when they notice a strange phenomenon in which the moon shines abnormally brightly.
11:20Later, Pad launches Hunter Q into space to investigate, and confirms that a beam of light is being emitted from the surface of the moon toward Tokyo on Earth.
11:35When searching for the source of the rays, a device was discovered that concentrated the sun's rays and directed them towards the Earth.
11:44And in Tokyo, which was being irradiated, fires were breaking out all over the place due to the abnormal rise in temperature.
11:53Hunter Q attempts to destroy the irradiation device, but Demongone suddenly appears and shoots Hunter Q down.
12:01Pad and Jumborg Ace head to the moon to rescue Hunter Q, who has crashed.
12:10However, Demongone appears again and attacks, but with the help of Janbo Ace, Hunter Q manages to rescue the team members.
12:20At that time, Janborg Ace attacks with the Jansabre, but is hit by Demongone's beam attack and falls into a crater, causing Naoki and Janborg Ace to suffer heavy damage.
12:35However, they manage to escape the crater and return to Earth.
12:40At the same time, on Earth, abnormal weather was causing many people to flee Tokyo.
12:51Pad is devastated after losing the Jumborg Ace, but Captain Murakami encourages his troops and decides to carry out a suicide mission.
13:01Meanwhile, in the hospital room where the injured Naoki was, Kazuya was regretting that Jumborg Nine could not fly to the moon.
13:11Upon hearing this, Naoki, despite his injuries, escapes from the hospital and heads off with the Janbog Nine to the moon, which has a one-way ticket and cannot return to Earth, using Pad's large observation rocket.
13:26As soon as they arrive safely on the moon, the battle with Demongone begins.
13:32During the fierce battle, Demongone, who is now at a disadvantage, uses the reflected light from his irradiation device to attack Janbog Nine.
13:41However, after destroying the irradiation device with a cross shot, Demongone draws his sword and approaches Jumborg Nine, determined to face him to the death.
13:54Then, just as Demongone's sword was about to strike the fallen Janbogneine, he picked up a piece of the irradiation device and stabbed it into Demongone's stomach.
14:06As green blood spurts out, Demongone screams in his death throes and disappears, leaving a trail of blood behind.
14:13The battle is over, and Naoki is singing about the desert moon while gazing at the blue Earth, from which he can never return, when suddenly a padded fighter plane appears and glorifies the Jumborg Nine back to Earth.
14:30After returning safely to Earth, Naoki was making rice cakes for the New Year.
14:36Then the Pad members join in, and the rice cake pounding begins with loud shouts.
14:45However, the screen changes to a scene on the moon, revealing that the battle is not completely over, and the program ends with the Grossians' cries of revenge being heard.
14:58Now, let's take a look at the exploits of Jumborg Ace and Jumborg Nine.
15:08Jumborg Ace
15:29To protect the peace of the Earth, hey, a gift from the stars, Jumborg Ace, shout, Naoki, Jan Fight, the hero appears, Jumborg Ace.
