This wildly popular hero series featured a cyborg-like metallic body and vanquished evil with laser blades. It later became the first installment in the Space Sheriff trilogy, leaving a lasting impression on viewers. This work is Space Sheriff Gavan.
00:21It is a hugely popular superhero show in which a cyborg-like, metallic body is used to defeat evil with a laser blade.
00:35This work, Space Sheriff Gavan, was later strongly remembered by viewers as the first in a trilogy of Space Sheriff series.
00:46Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:51Space Sheriff Gavan was produced by TV Asahi and aired a total of 44 episodes from 1982 to 1983.
01:06The story begins with a sudden attack on space colonies and Tokyo, which are the latest expansion into space, by the space criminal organization, Makuu.
01:19Maku then built bases all over the world and plotted to control humanity and the Earth's resources.
01:28Upon detecting this attack and convinced that Maku's invasion of Earth has begun, Galactic Federation Police Chief Com dispatches Space Sheriff Gavan.
01:41On the way to Earth, they discover that Director Com's only daughter, Mimi, has boarded the ship without permission, but they have no choice but to continue on to Earth.
01:54After arriving on Earth, they explore the Makuu base, and discover it underground near Tokyo.
02:02However, when he is attacked by Double Man and the Shaco Monster from the gunfire group, he transforms into Gavan and fights.
02:12During the battle, he is dragged into Makuu Space, but he repels the enemy with his special moves, the Laser Z Beam and Gavan Dynamic.
02:22After that, while working at the Avalon Joba Club, a fierce battle with the Makuu takes place on Earth.
02:34First, let me introduce the main character, Gavan, the Earth name, and the Ichijoji train.
02:40In fact, Gavan is half Japanese, born to his Japanese mother, Ichijouji Tamiko, and his father, Boyser, a Bird Alien who was also a space sheriff, and on Earth he uses his mother's name, Ichijouji.
02:58After arriving on Earth, he works at the Avalon Joba Club, but due to the Maku incident, he would often disappear without a trace.
03:09He is a bright and kind young man, so he is popular with children and plays soccer in his spare time.
03:18Gavan's father, Boyser, is a Birdman and was originally a space detective in charge of Earth. However, after learning the secret of a laser amplification system developed by his friend, Dr. Hoshino,
03:32He was betrayed by Hunter Killer, a fellow Space Sheriff, and was abducted by Makuu, and his whereabouts are currently unknown.
03:41In episode 43, she is rescued by Gavan, but after years of torture in order to keep the secret, her body reaches its limit and she dies in the presence of her son.
03:54Also, Mimi, the only daughter of Chief Com, the head of the Galactic Federation Police, who accompanied Gavan without permission,
04:08In particular, since he has no training as a space detective, he becomes weak-willed when faced with a crisis.
04:15Using his pendant-type image conversion device, Laser Vision, he can transform himself into a completely different being, usually a parakeet.
04:28He also possesses the telepathy, precognitive and investment abilities unique to the Birdians, and has once saved Gavan from danger.
04:36I usually work at the Avalon Joba Club, the same place as Gaban.
04:41Fuji Gosuke and his grandchildren, Wakaba and Yoichi, from Avalon Joba Club, where he works, also watch over the procession with warmth.
04:52However, there were many times when I was half-amused by the line that would disappear every time a Maku incident occurred.
05:00Space Cage Gavan transforms by riding on a turbo protector made of a special light alloy called Granium, which is transmitted in particle form from the extra-dimensional restraint machine, Dolgiran, which is located in space.
05:20The entire process takes just 0.05 seconds.
05:27After mounting, Gavan appears wearing a protector made of silver metal and a black shield coating, and his entire body power is greatly increased.
05:40In addition, the Dimension Controller on his chest allows him to operate in other dimensions and outer space.
05:50After transforming, his main special abilities include the ability to control mecha, electro-sonar for communication, and a laser scope to analyze and detect the location of enemies in magical space.
06:03There is also a laser blade as a weapon, which can be transformed into a sword of light by injecting dynamic laser power into the blade.
06:13Gavan Dynamic uses the laser blade as his main special move.
06:19Destructive rays fired from his fists and fingertips, laser Z beams.
06:25Gavan Shock is an electric discharge attack.
06:27Also appearing are the Gavan Barrier, which creates a wall of light in front of you to block enemy attacks.
06:39The machines used by Gavan are first the Dolgiran, a super-dimensional high-speed machine that serves as a mobile base.
06:47This ultra-fast spacecraft is made up of two parts: the upper part is a Gillan disc, and the lower part is an electron gun, the DOL.
06:59Its specifications are a giant disk with a diameter of 220m and a weight of 2,000 tons.
07:07The electronic gun, Dollar, is a giant, sentient robot of the Blue Dragon, with a cockpit inside.
07:15Weapons include high-temperature flames and dollar fire that it spits from its mouth, and laser beams that it shoots from its eyes and front paws.
07:26In addition, the Cyberian, a sidecar-type vacuum machine specially designed for Gaban and stored in the Dolgiran, is capable of entering and operating in any dimension or space, whether on land or in the air, and can travel at a top speed of 500 km.
07:44It is equipped with weapons such as a Cyberian laser and a Cyberian rocket.
07:51In addition, it is unmanned, armored, and capable of flight, and will launch automatically upon receiving commands from Gavan.
07:58It has a sidecar-like form, but is a one-seater, and next to the cockpit there is what is called the ship part, which is placed in the vacuum of space and used as the space where Gavan appears.
08:13Other weapons include the high-dimensional combat vehicle, the Gabion, which launches automatically upon receiving commands from Gavan.
08:22It can be separated into two parts, upper and lower, for use on the ground and in the air; the upper part is the Gabion A mecha, which is a flying mecha, and the lower part is the Gabion B mecha, which is a ground mecha.
08:35Its weapons include the Gabion Laser, Gabion Missiles, and Gabion Rocketer.
08:44In addition, the Gabion B mecha for ground use is equipped with a small drill tank, the Scooper, which uses two drills to dig underground.
08:57And Gavan's enemy is the space criminal organization, Makuu.
09:02They are also known as space pirates and the Rebirth Empire, and have control over numerous planets.
09:10Based in Maku Castle, which floats in a kind of black hole known as Maku Space, they operate in the shadows, committing crimes between planets and monopolizing human and material resources.
09:23In the battle against Gavan, he generates the Makuu space and uses powerful weapons, demonstrating his advanced scientific capabilities.
09:32The play also features a ritual to worship the god of rebirth, so it is thought to be a religious organization as well.
09:40The leader of the Makuu is the Hunter Don Horror, whose bizarre appearance consists of a demon-like face with another face inside its mouth and a body shape with four arms embedded in its chest.
09:56Its massive body remains immobile, but it uses powerful psychic powers, extendable arms, and attacks by engaging with its eyes.
10:08Although he has a cold personality, there are many scenes in the play where he is seen getting irritated by Drumsko Sandorba's education and behavior.
10:19Hunter Killer, Don Horror's direct subordinate and commander of the Earth invasion, is Gabalt's direct enemy.
10:30Ironically, he is also a former Space Sheriff who betrayed his father, and wears a mask that only exposes his left eye, mouth, and nose.
10:40Although she was an extremely formidable opponent, she believed that the return of Kiba, the witch and wife of Don Horror, would threaten her own position, and so she leaked Kiba's secrets to Gavan, resulting in Don Horror permanently banishing her to the Dark Galaxy.
10:59In episode 42, he is discovered and protected by a patrol unit from the Galactic Police, but he is so weak that he tells Chief Gom where Boyser is and dies.
11:13After Hunter Killer is banished, Don Horror and Sandorva, the son of the witch Fang, carry out a plan to invade Earth.
11:23Sandurba was a seismologist and was known for his direct behavior.
11:27Because of the status he was given thanks to his parents' influence, he had more operations at the facility than Hunter Killer, and many of his operations against Gavan failed, and in the end Don Horror disowned him.
11:48The Crime Team's combat members include the Gunners and Double Man.
11:53He was originally a beastman living on a planet conquered by the Makuu, but he disguised himself as a human of high social status, infiltrated Earth, and now commands the Bem monsters and Combat Incrusher to carry out a mission to take control of Earth.
12:10There are also several types of gunfire formations for each conquered planet.
12:16In addition, the Bem monsters were evolved creatures that lived on the planet that the Makuu had conquered, some of which were low in intelligence and could grow to gigantic sizes.
12:28Later, in episode 13, Double Monster appears, a monster created by combining Double Man and the Bem monster using a bio-combining device.
12:41And then there's Crusher, a fighter who wears a black leather jacket, can transform into a human, and wields a knife and a beam gun as weapons.
12:51Now, finally, it's the final episode.
12:59On a plain with a view of Mount Fuji, Letu and Mimi were visiting the grave where their late father, Boysar, was buried along with their mother.
13:09Letz, praying at the grave, is a stone that is doing its utmost to take revenge on Maku, who killed his father.
13:16At that time, a black truck arrives at the Avalon Joba Club and threatens Gosuke and others with a gun, taking them hostage.
13:26Later, when Letz returns to the Avalon Joba Club, he discovers a photo that reads, "If you want to save the hostages, come to Oiwayama, Sandorba," and he hurries to Oiwayama.
13:39Then, Gosuke and his friends discover that the hostages have been crucified, so he transforms into Gavan, rides the Cyberian, and attempts to rescue them while dodging Crusher's artillery fire.
13:54Sandorva appears at that moment, but the hostages have already been rescued.
14:00Then, Gavan counterattacks, cornering Sandorba and the Crushers, but then the witch Kiba appears to provide backup and escapes with Sandorba.
14:15Sandorba fled back to Makuu Castle, but due to his past failures, he was finally abandoned by his father, Don Horror, and ties with his father were severed, and he was banished from Makuu.
14:30However, to the exiled Sandorva, his mother, the witch Kiba, tells him that she will have Don Horror and Gavan fight each other directly and kill each other.
14:42Afterwards, Sandorba appears before Don Horror and explains his plan to defeat Gavan by crashing the Demonic Sky Castle into the extra-dimensional restraining machine, Dolgiran, destroying it in one go, and dragging Gavan into the Demonic Sky space without giving him time to transform and take off his jacket, and Don Horror agrees to the plan.
15:06The operation is carried out and the Maku Castle heads towards Dolgiran, but is attacked by a column that has sensed their arrival.
15:17In the chaos inside the Maku Castle, Sandorba, the witch, and Kiba try to escape from the castle,
15:25Don Horror has already seen through their plot and tells them that the only way to survive is to defeat Gavan.
15:34In order to survive, Sandorba challenges Gavan to a direct confrontation and drags him into the Demonic Space.
15:44During the battle, Mimi and Youichi suddenly appear, and Sandorba attacks the confused Gavan.
15:53Even though Gavan knows that these are illusions created by the witch, Kiba, for some reason he is unable to attack.
16:03As Gavan is cornered, he hears the voice of his late father, Boyser,
16:08As they face off against Sandorva, who is about to deliver the final blow, a red light bursts between them.
16:15It was the Space Sheriff, Sharivan.
16:20With the support, Gavan turns the tables and defeats Sandorba, the witch, and Kiba with the Gavan Dynamic.
16:29Afterwards, Gavan heads to Makuu Castle in his Cyberian to launch a final battle.
16:36Surprisingly, Dawn Horror wants a one-on-one fight with Gavan.
16:43Despite being attacked in combat, he manages to cut off the Dawn Horror's head, but then the severed head attacks him.
16:52He struggles with the fast-moving attack, but after stabbing the laser blade into its forehead, he finishes it off with a Gavan Dynamic move.
17:02Then, the Maku Castle also exploded and disappeared.
17:09As the line returned to the ground, Mimmy and the others called out from behind.
17:14When I turned around, I saw not only Mimi, but also Director Com, his secretary, Marine, and a strange man.
17:23Director Com reveals that the man is Space Sheriff Igaden, codenamed Sharivan, who will be officially recognized by the column.
17:34The column is also informed that he has been promoted to Captain of the Galactic Patrol, with responsibility for the entire solar system.
17:43The crowd is surprised by his unexpected promotion, but after shaking hands firmly with Den, who calls him Captain, the program ends with a scene of them looking up at Mount Fuji.
17:57Now, let's take a look at the exploits of Space Sheriff Gavan.
