Transforming from motorcycle form to robot form at the pilot's command via helmet, this is Denjin Zaborgar, battling an evil criminal organization seeking new energy.
00:20In this film, Denjin Zaborger transforms from a motorcycle to a robot form in response to commands from the pilot's helmet, and fights against evil criminal organizations that are after new energy sources.
00:37Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:41Denzin the Borger was produced by P Productions and aired for a total of 52 episodes from 1974 to 1975.
00:56The story begins at the Egyptian Gold Museum, where Miss Borg, a cyborg from the criminal organization Sigma, carries out a previously announced theft.
01:10The police express frustration at Sigma for not being able to do anything when the golden mask was stolen right in front of their eyes.
01:20Meanwhile, Daimon Yutaka has returned to Japan after completing his training as a secret detective. He is informed by his father's friend, Detective Nitta, that the Sigma Group was responsible for the murder of his father, Dr. Daimon, and is given a letter entrusted to him by his father.
01:39There was a key inside, and when I went to the designated location, it turned out to be my father's secret base.
01:48When you use the key to go inside, the projector will automatically start and your father will appear and explain about the secret base and Zaborger.
01:58He also tells Yutaka that he wants him to use Zaborger to fight against Team Sigma, led by Professor Aknomia.
02:07Later, when he meets Dr. Aknomia in person, he confesses that he murdered his father in order to obtain the new energy source, Daimonium.
02:21Damon tries to catch Professor Aknomia, but he manages to escape.
02:27Burning with revenge, Daimon returns to his secret base, reads the Zaborger manual, and acquires the piloting helmet and other equipment.
02:37He then realizes that Zaborger's orbit requires the use of electrode circuits implanted in his body to generate currents of rage against Team Sigma.
02:49Afterwards, upon receiving a report that Misborg has appeared, he heads to the scene with Zaborger, and the battle between Misborg and Alizailer begins.
03:01Unfamiliar with controlling Zaborger, he is at a disadvantage, but after a fierce battle he finishes off Alizailer with an instant-fire destructive gun.
03:11Miss Borg was shocked by the sight, but was forced to retreat.
03:17After this battle, Daimon Yutaka vowed to take revenge on Team Sigma and Professor Acnomia, the enemies of his father.
03:29Now, let me introduce the characters.
03:34First of all, the main character, Daimon Yutaka, is a special investigator for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and also a secret detective who has received special training at Interpol.
03:45He is a practitioner of martial arts such as karate, and possesses superhuman physical abilities, capable of defeating Sigma Gang's cell devices with his bare hands or using his special move, the Three-Step Flying Dragon Kick.
04:00He has an emotional and passionate personality, but is kind to children.
04:07When he was a child, he was involved in a traffic accident and miraculously recovered from a near-death state thanks to an electrode circuit developed by his father being implanted in his body.
04:19Hita Daigoro is a detective at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department who was friends with Dr. Daimon, and after the doctor's death, he has supported Daimon Yutaka as a contributor.
04:33From episode 29, he leaves Japan for Interpol training.
04:39Hita Miyo and the Doctor are Detective Hita's children, and like their father, they support Daimon Yutaka.
04:50In the film, the younger brother, the doctor, is caught up in a battle and is seriously injured, near death, but like Daimon Yutaka, he is revived with an electrode circuit implanted in him.
05:00Detective Nakano is Detective Hita's subordinate, and initially treats Daimon Yutaka as a rookie, but once he learns his true identity, he begins to provide him with devoted support.
05:19Dr. Daimon is the developer of Denjin the Borger and the inventor of Daimonium.
05:25After refusing to cooperate with Dr. Aknomia, he was killed and had his Daimonium production machine stolen.
05:36Ken Matsue is a disciple of Dr. Asao and the pilot of Machine Bach, an armed motorcycle equipped with a bazooka, and appears in the Dinosaur Army arc.
05:49He has a very impulsive personality and acts on intuition in everything he does.
05:54Because of his personality, whenever he makes various mistakes, Daimon helps him out.
06:03Asao Sachi is the only daughter of Dr. Asao, and because she knows the secret of the demon Three-Headed, she is being targeted by the dinosaur army.
06:13At first, she is unaware that Ken is courting her, but eventually, they end up dating.
06:24Dr. Takeda is a close friend of Dr. Daimon, and he designed the Zaborger base and also helped power it up into Strong Zaborger.
06:35Zaborger, piloted by Daimon Yutaka, is a crime-control robot powered by Daimonium.
06:48It can be transformed into two forms; normally it is used as a means of transportation in the form of a motorcycle, but during battle it transforms into a robot form at the command of Daimon Yutaka.
06:58This process involves the angry current generated by the electrode circuit implanted in Daimon Yutaka's body activating him, causing him to transform into a robot form.
07:12After transformation, you can control it using a microphone built into the helmet or a portable microphone.
07:20In terms of specifications, when in robot form it is 2m tall, weighs 500kg, and has an output of 5000 horsepower; when in motorcycle form it can travel at a speed of 300kg per hour on land and 130kg per hour on water.
07:39Its attack techniques include chain stomping and chain punches, which are fired at high speed.
07:44A boomerang cutter that throws two ear-shaped ornaments equipped on the head at enemies.
07:52It has a rear mounted machine gun and a rapid fire destructive gun.
07:57Also included is a remote-controlled reconnaissance helicopter called the Helicat, whose head opens and takes off.
08:04Small remote control cars, mouse cars, come out from both sides.
08:08It also has a small jet plane, the C-Shark, mounted on its back, which is used for infiltration operations and intelligence gathering.
08:18In the Dinosaur Corps arc, the Zaborger's combat capabilities were no longer comparable to those of the enemy robots,
08:30By combining with Machine Bach, controlled by Matsue Ken, the enhanced Strong Zaborger appears.
08:39By evolving into Strong Zaborger, its output and attack power double.
08:46These attack techniques include the Rocket Chain Punch, which uses the thrust of a rocket engine to double the power of a chain punch.
08:56The ornaments on the boomerang cutter are connected in a ring shape, and the jet boomerang is launched at super high speeds using the thrust of a jet engine.
09:06It has bazookas equipped on both hips, including the Strong Bazooka Fire.
09:11Daimon Yutaka and Zaborger's enemy is Team Sigma up until episode 39, and then the Dinosaur Army from episode 40 to the final episode.
09:27First, there is Team Sigma, a criminal organization founded by Professor Akunomiya, whose main business is stealing treasures and riches from around the world.
09:38Professor Akunomiya killed his rival, Professor Daimon, and obtained the Daimonium manufacturing machine.
09:49Its appearance is characterized by a strange appearance, as the right half of its face, left arm, and left leg are mechanized.
09:59He moves around in a wheelchair, which is equipped with various weapons and allows for high mobility.
10:10Because the dinosaur army is on equal footing, he realizes that this is his and Team Sigma's end and confronts Daimon, but in an accident he is shot by a machine gun attached to his wheelchair and explodes into Koppamizin.
10:24Miss Borg is a cyborg who serves as a senior member of Team Sigma and the secretary of Dr. Aknomia.
10:34After being defeated many times by Daimon and Zaborger, he was forced to swallow a small bomb by Professor Aknomia, and was eventually killed in the explosion.
10:43Lady Borg, Miss Borg's successor, takes command at the front-line base and has high offensive capabilities, using small lipstick-shaped bombs, but is killed in an explosion caused by Ruhman's flames.
11:01Gen Akizuki is a warrior of Team Sigma who hunts high-performance motorcycles, Machine Hawks.
11:10He is an orphan raised by Professor Aknomia, and fights for Team Sigma to repay the kindness of his father, but he is determined to fight fair and square.
11:22In the story, he places more importance on confronting Damon than on the details of the operation, and every time he ignores orders, Professor Aknomia places an iron ring around his head, causing him to writhe in agony.
11:36In episode 38, after losing the battle against Daimon, he leaves the battle and heads to the orphanage, the House of the Sun, to take care of the orphans.
11:47The dinosaur army is hunting the three-headed demon, who is hiding in the Demon Cave on Demon Mountain.
11:58The lower half of the body is fossilized and cannot move freely, forcing it to carry out deep maneuvers.
12:06Their ultimate goal was to sink the six continents into the ocean and create a dinosaur empire.
12:13Devil Hat is a senior member and scientist of the Dinosaur Corps, and after reviving the documents and the Three Heads, he steals the Daimonium manufacturing machine from Dr. Aknomia.
12:29After the theft, they began creating a mecha army of dinosaur-shaped combat robots equipped with Daimonium, and sent them into battle against The Borger.
12:39The hat he wears has teeth built into it, and by throwing it, he can cut through anything.
12:48Princess Meza is a leader of the dinosaur army and uses a staff with a crest shaped like a creepy woman's head as her weapon.
12:58They are also skilled in disguise and perform heavy artillery operations.
13:02The Ryumentai, or Ryumen, are fighters with dragon-like heads who fight using metal rods as weapons, and who form formations similar to gymnastics and breathe fire from their mouths.
13:18Now, finally, it's the final episode.
13:26The final episode will be a continuation from the previous episode, episode 51.
13:33During the fierce battle with the dinosaur army, The Borger's remaining Daimonium is running low.
13:39Daimon tells you that you only need one more use of Strong the Borger before it runs out.
13:45Then, they were attacked by the Devil Hat and the Mecha Army's Glaring.
13:52I fight with the regular The Borger, but it's no match for it.
13:57The daemons finally transform him into Strong the Borger and prepare to fight.
14:04However, when Hiroshi and Yuki are taken hostage, they are forced to call off the attack.
14:11He had no choice but to accept the attack from Glaring, and he couldn't bear to see Strong the Borger.
14:17Hiroshi and Yuki attempt a reckless escape,
14:20During this time, Hiroshi is attacked by the Devil Hat and is seriously injured, nearly to the point of death.
14:27Still, this escape triggers Strong the Borger to attack and defeat Gillari.
14:34In the midst of all this, Hiroshi was taken to the hospital.
14:39Once the heart stops and you die,
14:42Like Damon, he is revived by implanting an electrode circuit.
14:48After that, for the final battle with the dinosaur army,
14:52The daemons disguise themselves as delivery men and head to Majin Mountain.
14:57However, the plan was discovered, and Princess Meza appeared and attacked them.
15:05Also joining the group are Devil Hat and Dogera from the Mecha Army.
15:10The daemons are at a disadvantage.
15:13Therefore, Daimon believes in miracles and brings out Strong the Borger again,
15:20It won't work because it's out of energy.
15:23Seeing this scene, Devil Hat, with aplomb, orders Dogera to attack.
15:31As Damon is about to lose consciousness due to the enemy's fierce offensive, he hears his father's voice saying that it is a current of rage.
15:40Princess Meza and Devil Hat, confident of victory, looked down on Daimon and laughed.
15:46Seeing this, Daimon explodes with rage against evil, causing currents of rage to surge through his body.
15:56Then, Strong the Bogger activates and destroys Dogera with his special move, Strong Bazooka Fire.
16:03With this momentum, Daimon and his friends infiltrate the cave that serves as the hideout of the Dinosaur Empire, and finally come face to face with the demon, the Three-Headed One.
16:16Strong the Borger attacks, but is met with a fierce counterattack from the Three-Headed One, putting him in a pinch.
16:25He fires a strong bazooka fire, but it bounces back and he falls down.
16:30However, at the sound of a scream of rage from the daemon on the side, Strong the Borger rises again, throws down Princess Meza and the Devil's Hat, and is finally crushed to death by a pillar.
16:47He then fires a barrage of Strong Bazooka Fire at the three-headed demon, but the shots are a draw, and Strong the Borger explodes along with the three-headed demon.
17:00The cave then begins to collapse, forcing the daemons to escape.
17:07The Demons somehow manage to escape, but the explosions continue. Gazing into the cave, they are confident of victory,
17:15Daimon couldn't honestly be happy, thinking about The Borger, who was like a brother to him and had exploded in the cave.
17:24The scene changes, and in front of the fountain, a scene of Daimon and the others saying goodbye to Yuki and Ken is shown.
17:35Yuki takes over her late father's research, and Ken decides to help her, and everyone sees them off with smiles on their faces.
17:45The show ends with Daimon and Detective Nakano returning to their lives as undercover detectives.
17:57Now, let's take a look at The Borger in action.
18:00Thank you for watching.
18:30Thank you for watching.
19:00Thank you for watching.
19:30What did you think?
19:45The appearance of The Borger, the prototype for modern Transformers, was quite refreshing at the time.
19:54However, I still remember how sad I was at the bad ending where the enemy exploded along with the main character.
