This work, Mighty Jack, depicts battles against enemies packed with spy action and mechanical action featuring special effects like giant battleships.
00:21This film, Fight! Mighty Jack, is packed with spy action and mechanical action using special effects such as giant battleships in the battles against the enemy.
00:39Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:42Fight! Mighty Jack was produced by Tsuburaya Productions and aired a total of 26 episodes in 1968.
00:56The story begins with the new crew of the Mighty, a multi-purpose battleship belonging to the Far East branch of the international organization Apple, nicknamed Mighty Jack, undergoing special training without the use of weapons.
01:13One of the team members, Ogawa, goes to Haneda Airport to pick up an Apple investigator who will be attending the training, but the investigator is assassinated on board the plane by BACK, an organization plotting world domination.
01:31The assassin, who calls herself Charlotte Miyahara, disguises herself as an Apple investigator and heads to the Mighty with Ogawa, who is waiting for her at the airport.
01:45However, the Mighty has already departed for Panic Island, where shipwrecks are common, so the two pursue it in Shipley.
01:56At that time, the Mighty was submerged and heading towards Panic Island, but the code with Apple had been deciphered by the enemy, so it was attacked by torpedoes. However, it escaped danger by making an emergency flight from underwater.
02:12Meanwhile, Ogawa and his teammates are also attacked by fighter planes, but they fight back and somehow manage to survive the crisis.
02:20The Mighty then arrives at Panic Island, only to be attacked by missiles in the air and torpedoes at sea.
02:34Still, Captain Amada and his men believe this is part of their training and do not retaliate. Instead, they quickly board their hydrojet and land on the island.
02:45After landing, they found a note left by Ogawa, and for the first time they learned that the attacks had not been training, but had been attacks from the pack.
02:58He then meets up with Ogawa inside Pack's base and blows up the base with a bomb along with the missile that was scheduled to be launched.
03:07The new recruits were nervous as they were faced with what they thought would be training, but which turned out to be their first mission, and they were thinking about how they would perform on their upcoming mission.
03:21Now, let me introduce the characters.
03:25First of all, Ippei Amada is the captain of Mighty Jack, a new unit formed as Apple's Far East branch. He is highly trusted by his teammates and is loved and referred to as Captain.
03:41I have a personality that prioritizes intuition and action over thinking.
03:46Gendar Akira is skilled in mechanical engineering, and with his age and experience, he plays a secondary role.
03:57He has a personality that is not good at sitting still and is a man of action. At first he was a hot-blooded type, but he has changed into a comedian.
04:09Ogawa Kisuke is an electronics expert and a slightly short-tempered, laid-back character.
04:16At first, he hid his identity as Mighty Jack from his family.
04:24Susumu Imai was an expert in aeronautical engineering and a confident man who would push through his opinions to the very end.
04:33He also shows a gentle side, such as when he protects a poor alien who crash-lands on Earth.
04:39Emranami is an explosives expert and manufactures a variety of explosives required for operations.
04:51In addition, she is skilled in martial arts and is able to defeat enemies who let their guard down as a woman.
04:57General Fujii is the general manager of Apple's Japanese branch and is the boss of the Mighty Jack members.
05:08He doesn't care about his own position or reputation, and always prioritizes the safety and lives of his subordinates, the members of Mighty Jack.
05:17The Mighty, on which the Mighty Jack crew appears, is a gigantic, all-purpose battleship built using the latest advances in modern science, and is equipped not only for sea battles but also for flying and diving.
05:33Its specifications are height 41m, length 235m, width 150m, weight 28,000t, maximum flight speed Mach 2.8, and it is powered by a multi-system of solar plasma engines and nuclear engines.
05:56The main weapons include torpedoes and missiles, as well as mighty rays, circle lasers, and ultrasonic cannons.
06:07The Mighty is also equipped with various mechanisms to suit different situations.
06:14The Piblider is a small, single-seat, single-engine fighter jet with a top speed of Mach 4.
06:22It will be stored disassembled inside the Mighty and reassembled before launch.
06:31The Concluder is an amphibious, multi-role jet fighter capable of reaching a maximum speed of Mach 4.8 in the air and 55 knots underwater.

07:01It can reach a maximum speed of Mach 3.2 in the air and 50 knots in water.
07:08The Hydrojet is an underwater exploration vessel propelled by a jet of water, and the entire body is equipped with powerful self-powered suction cups that allow it to adhere to enemy bases.
07:22This work, Fight, Mighty Jack, is originally an edited version of the original program Mighty Jack, which was previously broadcast, with some of the characters changed.
07:40This original show, Mighty Jack, was canceled after 13 episodes due to low viewership ratings.
07:50Therefore, these 13 episodes were edited to be more suitable for children, and this work was broadcast as 26 episodes, each 30 minutes long.
08:02However, in the first season, Mighty Go and Mighty Jack are opposed by a variety of criminal or violent organizations, such as Q, Kill, and Blood, which are mainly spy action films, but in the second season, the content changes completely, and the series is reoriented to be a anything-goes series targeted at children, featuring monsters and aliens.
08:32So, here we will introduce the main monsters and aliens that appeared in the second season, or whatever the series continues to be.
08:44The giant kite lives in the East China Sea and tries to destroy the Mighty Go by entangling it.
08:52Although it can withstand 30,000 volts of electricity, it is eventually shot through the head by a missile from the Concluder and explodes.
09:02The mummy monster was sleeping in a coffin in the basement, but he went on a murder spree to retrieve the Egyptian jewels, and after obtaining them, he grew to a gigantic size.
09:15After both of his arms were blown up in Mighty Jack's attack, he jumped into the sea, causing his body to disintegrate.
09:23The Monolon aliens' spaceship breaks down and they make an emergency landing on Earth, but with the help of Mighty Jack, they are led back to their home planet by a rescue team.
09:36Bucky was a pet of the Monolon aliens, but due to the difference in environment from Earth, he grew to a gigantic size and attacked villages and other places, and was burned to death in an attack by the Exo Scouts.
09:51Nana-chan was originally a robot created by the cousin of Officer Emra, but after being captured by the former members, she was hypnotized and tried to kill Captain Amada.
10:07He later regains his senses by having a fuse installed, but fearing the same incident will happen again, he begs Officer Genta to dismantle him, and is dismantled.
10:21The Saurus is a surviving dinosaur that lived on Nesco, and swallows a hydrogen bomb that was loaded onto a crashed bomber.
10:33Luckily, a young girl named Alisa takes him to a dinosaur habitat beyond a fixed tunnel, where he spits out the hydrogen bomb he swallowed.
10:44Plants are vegetative people who use a special liquid to turn humans into vegetative people.
10:55When a vegetative person is in human form, they behave normally, but once they are in vegetative state, they suddenly become violent and attack humans.
11:06The Drone Alien is a space ninja, an alien with the ability to create clones and magnetic lines within his body.
11:16By destroying computer integrated circuits with the powerful magnetic fields inside the body, they disrupt the functioning of traffic lights and bullet trains, causing chaos in society.
11:28Bing Queen is a robot created by women whose husbands or lovers, former members of a criminal organization, were killed by Mighty Jack.
11:42The goal was to have Tokyo Tower raise a white flag as proof of Mighty Jack's surrender, but in the end it was blown up by Officer Genta.
11:53The Giant Ani Dinosaur is a dinosaur that lives in the temple on Happening Island.It normally does not move like an elephant, but it will start moving if an outsider tries to take the jewel.
12:08However, in the movie, it is revealed that this dinosaur does not actually exist and was just a vision seen by Officer Genta in a dream.
12:17Now, finally, it's the final episode.
12:25The final episode is a sequel to the previous episode, episode 25.
12:30General Fuji tells Captain Amada that the recent frequent disappearances of young people may be the work of Kazuki.
12:43Meanwhile, Mighty Jack obtains information about the old hideout and infiltrates it, but is attacked and officers Genta and Ogawa are captured.
12:56Both members are then taken to a fixed, old secret base where they meet their female boss, Vice Minister Tahara.
13:06She is a genius who entered Boston University at the age of 16, but she has a dark past in which her family was killed in the war.
13:15Her mission in the former was to kidnap and brainwash young people and train them to become former executives.
13:23Both men are then imprisoned, but they manage to escape by stealing the key from the guard and taking Vice Minister Tahara hostage.
13:35However, on the Mighty, Captain Amada is surprised to find that Vice Minister Tahara, whom he met at a seminar at Boston University, has become his former boss.
13:46And knowing that her entire family was killed and fell victim to the war, it is hard to argue that she lives with her old powers to exact revenge on the world.
14:00Meanwhile, Q, whose boss has been taken hostage, retaliates by kidnapping General Fuji and demanding that he be exchanged for Vice Minister Tahara.
14:12Captain Amada complies with the request and arranges a hostage exchange by helicopter, but Q sends a fake hostage instead of General Fuji, and successfully gets his boss back.
14:26However, since Officer Emra had planted a transmitter in Vice Minister Tahara's bag, when they followed the transmitter's beacon on the Mighty they discovered that the old secret base was located in a fixed location in the artificial warehouse.
14:42Later, officers Genta and Ogawa scuba dive into an old secret base in Tateishi and rescue General Fuji and the hippie who was being held captive with him.
14:57However, during the escape, Officer Ogawa is shot and seriously injured while trying to help a hippie woman, but manages to escape with Officer Genta.
15:08As the Mighty rushes to the scene, the old secret base finally emerges from its fixed position, dispatches fighter jets, and begins its attack.
15:21However, as the Mighty's fierce attack causes one fighter plane after another to crash, it decides that it's time for the red fighter plane piloted by Tawara Jikan to crash into the Mighty, exploding and dying.
15:36At the same time, the fixed base was also destroyed by the Mighty, confirming that Hugh had been destroyed.
15:46The scene changes to Ogawa, who has been shot and seriously injured, lying in bed and quietly passing away as his fellow soldiers watch over him.
16:00And there were some members of the unit who, upon seeing the body of fallen officer Ogawa, felt anger towards the hippies who had saved them but showed no gratitude.
16:11Mighty Jack and his men are feeling down, but then General Fujii brings in two new members.
16:22Encouraged by these two hopeful people, Mighty Jack and his friends regain their smiles and head off on their mission to the South Pacific, ending the show.
16:35Now, let's take a look at Mighty Jack in action.
