Space Ironman Kyodain is a Japanese Tokusatsu science fiction superhero television series. The show is well known for its strange plot and costume design, rapid-fire and purposefully disorienting editing, and unique, sometimes surreal, atmosphere.
00:17Today's topic is Kyodyne, the space iron man.
00:21This work, Space Ironmen Kyodyne, is about two robots, Kyodynes, who were developed by implanting the memories of two kidnapped brothers, and who fight against alien invaders from space, the Dada people.
00:38Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:42The original author of Space Ironmen Kyodain was Shotaro Ishimori, who also wrote Kikaider, and a total of 48 episodes were aired from 1976 to 1977.
00:59The story begins at a restaurant, at a birthday party for Kenji, the youngest child of the Hayama family.
01:07Kenji's father, Dr. Hayama, was a world-renowned roboticist, and his two older brothers, George and Rouji, also participated in his father's research.
01:19Suddenly, the Dadaroids invade and kidnap his father and two older brothers.
01:25Afterwards, an army of free robots begins invading the Earth, and a battle begins with the Earth Defense Force, but the Earth Defense Force gradually finds itself at a disadvantage.
01:40A year after the start of the battle, Kenji is now an elementary school student, but when an army of robots attacks his neighborhood, he chases after them, hoping to find out where his father and brother are.
01:52However, they find themselves surrounded by robots and in a desperate situation, when two robots appear from an unidentified flying saucer.
02:04After defeating Dada's robot army and forcing them to retreat, the two robots, Skyzel and Granzel, invite Kenji, the round colonel of the Earth Defense Force, and others to their base disk.
02:17Inside the disc, they confess to Kenji and the others that they are robots created by Dr. Hayama, and that they are brothers who have been kidnapped, having had the memories and personalities of Kenji's older brothers, George and Ryuji, transplanted into them, making them cybernetic members.
02:36He also explains that he was sent to protect Kenji and the Earth from Dada's robot army.
02:44Kenji is skeptical at first, but after observing his brothers' unique habits, he begins to trust Skyzel and Granzel's explanation.
02:55Afterwards, with the addition of their brothers, the Earth Defense Force began to regain momentum in the fight against Dada, which had been a self-serving force.
03:06Now, let me introduce the characters.
03:11George Hayama is the eldest son of the Hayama family, and has a kind personality, calm judgment, and a habit of shadowboxing.
03:23Ryuji Hayama is the second son, fearless and reckless, and has a habit of hitting himself in the face with both hands when he is at a loss for words.
03:33Kenji Hayama is a son of a woman born in the same household. His father and older brothers are kidnapped at a birthday party, and after that, his father's assistant, Keiko Shirakawa, takes care of him.
03:47The three children's father, Dr. Hayama, is a world-renowned robotics engineer and the creator of the Kyodai Institute, and because of his abilities he is targeted and kidnapped by Dada.
04:02Dr. Gaido is an atomic physicist who becomes Dr. Hayama's mentor, and is the only person who can solve the mystery of Dada's flower-picking song, which holds the key to defeating the robot army.
04:17As a result, he is chased and shot by an army of robots, falls off a suspension bridge, and loses his memory.
04:27Colonel Marui is the commander of the Japanese branch of the Earth Defense Force, and after Kenji is kidnapped by Dr. Hayama and his friends, he becomes concerned about him.
04:36Kyodaiin is a cyberroid into which the personalities of George and Ryuji have been transplanted by Dr. Hayama, but it is a collective name for two bodies, Skyzel and Granzel, and its original purpose was to develop it for the protection of Kenji, who is left alone on Earth.
04:56Mechanically, it makes extensive use of Dada chemistry, being powered by the hyper-energy particle dadanium, and its armor, like that of the Dada robot, is made of neutron metal, allowing it to withstand temperatures of 30,000 degrees.
05:13Dadanium's method of energy replenishment is to mix it with gasoline, which creates a solid form with 200 million times the energy of gasoline, and this solid form is ingested through a tube or other means.
05:29Also, when you say "open face," the head opens and becomes a screen, projecting the face of George for Skyzel and Ryuji for Granzel.
05:41In addition, it is possible to separate the virtual personality from the actual body, creating physical entities of George and Ryuji called cybergraphy.
05:52Naturally, when this happens, Kyodain becomes like a doll without its soul and is unable to function.
06:02Here we will explain the details of Kyodain's Skyzel and Granzel.
06:07First, there is Skyzel, who has the personality of the eldest son, George, and is skilled in aerial combat, with an airplane motif.
06:18By shouting "Gojet" or "Skyjet," it transforms into a fighter jet form and can reach a top speed of 100mph.
06:28In addition, when you shout "Go, missile," it transforms into missile form and performs attacks such as the Sky Punch, where it charges headfirst, detaches the bomb at the rear, and explodes.
06:43Granzel has the personalities of Jinan and Ryuji, is based on a car motif, and specializes in ground combat.
06:53With the command "Change, Grand Car," it transforms into a supercar form, capable of reaching a top speed of Mach 1.
07:02The Hive can be equipped with a catapult to launch sky missiles or a flamethrower to attack enemies.
07:13Also, with the shout of "Go, missile," it transforms into a missile form, combines with the Sky Jet, and attacks enemies as a missile launched from the Sky Jet's dive, or performs its special move, the Grand Finish, by detaching the bomb from Bib.
07:32Supporting the Brotherhood is the maintenance robot Gombes, who also acts as a housekeeper for Kenji, who lives on the base disk.
07:43When attacking or fleeing, the yellow disc-shaped upper part can be detached from the lower body.
07:52It also has investigative functions such as digging underground and X-ray detection capabilities, making it a versatile robot.
08:02Opposing the Brotherhood is an army of robots from the planet Dada, 600 light years away, whose scientific and technological capabilities surpass those of humanity on Earth.
08:15The one leading the invasion of Earth is a mechanical lifeform called Gablin, also known as the Dark General.
08:24At first, he only sent Dadaroids and the like, but as there was no progress in the invasion of Earth, he began to appear on Earth himself and personally command attacks on the Brotherhood.
08:37However, its true form is a giant right-handed mecha that holds a stone boulder in its palm and fires powerful heat rays.
08:46In addition, each finger housed an elite unit known as the Death Five, each characterized by different abilities, such as metallic or plant-like.
09:00After being defeated by the Brotherhood, the Death Five were reborn under the Gablin Queen's style and are now using coordinated tactics to fight the Brotherhood and the Sides.
09:11This Gablin Queen is a female machine lifeform who is Gablin's loyal and confidant, and is skilled in clever tactics such as transforming into various human forms and brainwashing humans.
09:29He corners his brothers many times, but because he is fully wounded he fails to finish them off and is ultimately defeated by them.
09:38After the rebirth and defeat of the Death Five, Gablin dismantled the defeated Death Five and combined their metal cells with energy to create the Black Knight.
09:54He uses the Devil's Sword, the Moonlight Sword, to torment his brothers, but is defeated by one of their Sun Swords.
10:04However, the Black Knight had the ability to regenerate and revive, so the Brotherhood members eventually destroyed his head and completely eliminated him.
10:17Now, finally, it's the final episode.
10:24The final episode will be a continuation from the previous episode, episode 47.
10:29Dada's robot army learns the mystery of the flower-picking song and takes Dr. Kaido, who has lost his memory, hostage in an attempt to destroy the human race on Earth.
10:41However, the Brotherhood members somehow manage to rescue Professor Kaido and restore his memories, but then Gablin appears.
10:51Meanwhile, at Dr. Kaido's instruction, they played a flower-picking song using the tape in the bomb, and Gablin suddenly began to suffer and disappeared.
11:03Later, it was discovered that the converter inside Bombes' body converts the Flower Picking Song into radio waves when it is played, and it was discovered that these radio waves were Gablin's weakness.
11:16These radio waves are also effective against Dada robots, and are transmitted to them using a radio wave amplifier.
11:26Meanwhile, at Dada, Dr. Hayama and his team discover an unused spaceship and try to escape from Dada, but
11:38The flower-picking song reaches the Dada computer via radio waves, causing it to stop functioning and temporarily halting the escape.
11:47Then, Dr. Hayama and his team discover through the monitor that the robots have collapsed and are no longer moving.
11:57Then, Dr. Hayama discovers King Dadaarin, a Dada-made creature that is now just a brain, and learns the truth about Dada-made creatures.
12:06The truth is that King Dadaarin, fearing that Dadaism would be destroyed by environmental destruction caused by the overdevelopment of science,
12:17I instructed the robots to search for a habitable planet,
12:22The instructions to migrate were mistaken for an invasion and the Earth was invaded.
12:29Also, because the search period before the discovery of Earth was too long, the Dada people became extinct, and only the robots that had been giving them instructions remained.
12:41After he finishes saying this, his brain waves stop due to the radio waves from Hanatsumi's song, and Dada Planet's self-destruct system begins to activate.
12:50Dr. Hayama and his team immediately return to the spaceship, escape Planet Dada, and inform the Brotherhood on Earth of their escape.
13:03Meanwhile, on Earth, Gablin and Gablin Queen confirm that King Dadaarin's brain has stopped functioning and he has died.
13:12However, as the Dada Corps began to destroy the city, the Brotherhood tried to persuade Gablin Queen to stop fighting on Earth, which had become meaningless due to the destruction of Planet Dada, but their pleas were completely ignored.
13:30Gablin Queen attacks using energy combat, but runs out of energy and is eventually defeated by her brother's punch attack.
13:44Meanwhile, he learns that Kenji is piloting the base saucer without permission in order to save his father, and rushes to the saucer.
13:53After arriving at the UFO and stabilizing its flight, he scolds Kenji, but then heads off into space with him to rescue Dr. Hayama.
14:07They then reached Dr. Hayama's spaceship and docked it with the flying saucer, and Kenji and his brothers were finally reunited with Dr. Hayama, George, and Ryuji.
14:19However, there is no time to rejoice, as Gablin approaches and rams the spaceship.
14:28While somehow dodging the charge, Kyodaiin begs Dr. Hayama for permission to set up the ultimate weapon, the Energy Limit Activation Device, and Dr. Hayama, having no other choice, hesitantly gives permission for the device to be set up.
14:47Then, the brothers' bodies turn to stone, and they exit the spaceship, still molten with flames, and crash into Gablin, causing a huge explosion when they ram into it.
15:00Kenji is disappointed, but his father, Dr. Hayama, tells him that Kyoin will become a star in the galaxy and watch over him forever, and the program ends with the spaceship returning to Earth.
15:18Now, let's take a look at the activities of our brothers.
