This work follows five individuals who were suddenly abducted by aliens and forced to fight beasts as slaves, only to become the saviors of the universe and battle their enemies.
00:00Hello. Thank you for watching today. Today's topic is GoLion, the King of Beasts.
00:20The story of this film, GoLion, King of Beasts, is about five people who are suddenly kidnapped by aliens and forced to fight wild beasts as slaves, but who then become the saviors of the universe and fight against their enemies.
00:43GoLion, King of the Beasts was produced by Toei Agency and aired for a total of 52 episodes from 1981 to 1982.
00:59The story begins with the retelling of a legend that tells of how the space brawler GoLion challenged the space goddess to a fight, but was defeated, split into five lions, and sealed away on the planet Altea.
01:14Thousands of years later, the Great Garra Empire invaded other planets and took the people to their home planet, Garra, where they were forced to live as slaves, less than livestock.
01:29Meanwhile, on Earth, World War III breaks out, cities around the world are destroyed by nuclear missiles, and the Galra Empire attacks, bringing humanity to near-extinction.
01:44Meanwhile, Kogane Akira and his companions return from their space journey, unaware that Earth has been attacked by aliens, and are captured by the Garla Empire's slave warships and taken to Planet Garla.
01:58They were forced to kill each other as a spectacle, and if they lost they were fed to wild animals, leading a harsh life.
02:07However, he escapes from the prison, steals a slave ship and heads into space, but is soon pursued by pursuers from the planet Galra and shot down.
02:18At that moment, guided by a mysterious light, Kogane and his slave warriors make an emergency landing on the planet Altea.
02:25After the crash landing, Kogane and his friends wander around until they reach the ruins of Altea Castle.When they enter the castle, they find the military tactician, Lible, and Princess Farah waiting for them.
02:40After explaining that 15 years ago, the planet Altea was destroyed by the Great Garla Empire led by Emperor Bazaar, Kogane and the others appear on the legendary GoLion and reveal that they are heroes who will fight against the Great Garla Empire.
03:00For Kogane and his friends, whose lives are being threatened by the Garura, fighting in GoLion is their destiny, and they vow to defeat the Great Bazaar.
03:11Afterwards, they go to the tomb of the previous king, where five keys to awaken GoLion are hidden, scattered across the planet Altea, but they can only find four.
03:23Then they are attacked by a Garra battleship and Death Black beastmen, so Kogane and his men have no choice but to fight back with the four lions.
03:35However, after a fierce attack by the Death Black Beastmen, Kogane and the others lose consciousness in their respective cockpits.
03:45In the midst of all this, they find the final key and combine into GoLion, defeating the Garla army.
03:52This battle marks the start of the battle between GoLion and the five heroes.
04:03Now, let me introduce the characters.
04:09First of all, the main character, Kogane Akira, is called the Chief and is a hot-blooded and tough team leader.

05:32After the Platinum Warriors, he also appears in the Blue Lions.
05:36Daible is the kingdom's leader, swordsman, and commander, and escaped the castle with Princess Farah during the Garura attack 15 years ago.
05:52The Space Rats are a family of mice who live in Altea Castle and can communicate with Princess Farah.
05:59In the play, he pilots the plane he was given to build and rescues Princess Farah.
06:06Shirogane Ryo was Shirogane Takashi's younger brother, a Garura-made prisoner of war who died during the battle.
06:15Made by Hercules, after rescuing Princess Amyu and helping her escape, he participates in guerrilla activities with her.
06:27Princess Amyu is a princess created by Hercules and is related to Princess Farah.
06:33During the attack on Golion, he sabotages the attack and is nearly executed by Syncline, but is saved by Shirogane Ryo.
06:44Altea Castle and the royal family of Hercules were originally the royal family of Altea Castle, but after a political dispute between the royal families, they were exiled from Altea Castle and sent to Hercules.
06:57The Shishiza Alliance is an alliance formed around Altea Castle, with Princess Farah as its master, and the five planets liberated from Garla's control by GoLion.
07:12Additionally, members of GoLion are participating as representatives of Earth.
07:21Mechades from the Kingdom of Altea will explain the five mechanical lions that Kogane and the others will appear against.
07:29Black Lion, Alui, and Kogane Akira appear, and when combined, they become one entity.
07:41It is powered by the energy of lightning, the Thunder Proton, and is usually found waiting in the Black Lion Tower in Castle Graydam.
07:50Its combat abilities include being skilled in aerial combat due to its wings.
07:59The Red Lion, Alui, appears as the Red Lion and Black Ganeitham, and when combined, becomes his right arm.
08:08They are powered by thermal energy, fire protons, which usually wait at the bottom of the magma.
08:16Its combat ability allows it to melt rocks and fight underground.
08:21The Green Lion, Alui, and Midorijishi are voiced by Hiroshi Suzuishi, and when combined, they become the left arm.
08:34It is powered by wind energy, the Cyclone Proton, and is usually found waiting in the forest near Greydam Castle.
08:43Its greatest combat weapon is the Green Tornado, which spits out violent tornadoes.
08:55The Blue Lion, Alui, and Aoshishi were originally played by Shirogane Takashi, but after he was killed in battle, Princess Farah took over.
09:06When combined, it becomes the right leg and is usually found waiting at the bottom of the lake near Greydam Castle.
09:15It is powered by the energy of water, aquaprotons, and is good at moving underwater, but will become unable to move if it cannot replenish its water supply.
09:27The Yellow Lion, Alui, and Kijishi are voiced by Seido Tsuyoshi, and when combined, it becomes the left leg.
09:36They are powered by earth energy, Grand Protons, and are usually found waiting on rocky limbs in the desert.
09:45Its combat capability is the ability to freely carry out combat activities underground.
09:51When these five Mecha-Lion characters shout "Let's go, Lion!", they combine to form the giant robot, GoLion.
10:06It is not clear who created the Five Lions, but legend has it that they were the most violent creatures in the universe, and were defeated by the goddess, split into five lions, and sealed away on the planet Altea.
10:22The 5 Lion's specifications are: height: 60m, weight: 700 tons, power output: 6 million horsepower, maximum flight speed: Mach 10, it is also capable of warp travel, and its power source is planetary energy.
10:40A special key is required to activate them, and pilots who possess the key can control all of the Mecha Lions, but those with evil hearts are apparently denied the right to control them.
10:54His special moves are attack techniques that use the Beast King Sword, and include shooting electric shocks from the sword and lightning strikes.
11:02In addition, 16 types of weapons that each Mecha Lion has, such as the Fire Tornado, can also be used.
11:11In addition to the Black Lion, the Four Lion Attack, also known as the 100-Ton Punch, is a technique that shoots out four lion heads, sends them flying at high speed, and pierces the enemy to the brink of death.
11:24The enemy of GoLion and the Kingdom of Altea is the Great Galra Empire.
11:33And Daibazar is the Emperor of the Great Garla Empire, and he is plotting to rule the entire universe.
11:40His personality is that of a being, ruthless, but also possessing monstrous abilities and mind, just as his appearance suggests.
11:49Yorba and Honerva are sorcerers who serve Daibazaar, and they use their magic to create Death Black Beast Gods, as well as commit violence and assassinations.
12:05In the play, she confesses that she is Daibazar's biological mother, but it is unknown what happened in the past.
12:13Syncline is the crown prince of the Galra Empire, a frontline commander, and a strategist who has conquered many planets.
12:26However, his personality is extremely cruel, and he ruthlessly kills anyone who goes against his will or fails.
12:35He is attracted to Princess Farah, who resembles his late mother, and tries to kidnap her many times, but fails.
12:44Honerva tells her that his late mother was in fact the nameless Saint Altea, and it comes as a great shock to him, as he had believed himself to be a pure Galra Saint.
12:58The Death Black Beast Gods are the main biological weapons of the Galra Empire, and on each planet they transform captured slaves into ferocious Beast God cyborgs.
13:14During the battle with GoLion, Honerva uses her magical power to shoot rays from the mothership at the Death Black Beast God, causing it to grow larger.
13:24Also, from episode 31 onwards, a cyborg weapon appears, a giant robot equipped with a Death Black Beast God as its control unit.
13:36At the end of the story, Garura, the mechanical beast god who uses Daibazaar as a control device for robots, fights GoLion.
13:47Now, finally, it's the final episode.
13:50The final episode is a sequel to the previous episode, episode 51.
13:57After the Seikan Giant Cannon is stolen, Syncline is held responsible and thrown into prison.
14:04At that time, the Leo Alliance decided to use the Seikan Giant Cannon to blow away the positive airspace containing lightning and electromagnetic waves and advance towards Planet Garura.
14:17However, Daibazar himself suddenly attacks with a large fleet, so GoLion sets out.
14:27Amidst the fierce battle, with the support of Greydam Castle, they somehow manage to protect the Seikan Giant Cannon.
14:33After destroying the Garra fleet, Greydam Castle transforms into a giant space battleship, the Freedom Fortress, and after equipping it with the Seikan Giant Cannon, it sets off into space.
14:46Meanwhile, Syncline, who had been imprisoned, escapes with the help of his subordinates and, in turn, captures Daibazar, who had been defeated in the battle against the Kingdom of Altea.
15:00He then instructs Kotsuruba to create a Mecha Beast God for Daibazaar, and has Daibazaar and GoLion fight directly.
15:12Meanwhile, GoLion and Freedom Fortress use the Seikan Giant Cannon to break through ocean airspace and finally arrive at the Galra home planet.
15:23With no other options left, Daibazaar hunts down the mecha beast god, Garura, and engages in a one-on-one battle with GoLion.
15:33As the fierce battle between the two sides unfolds, Aroko and the Beast King Sword break.
15:41And with Garura's axe stuck in his chest, GoLion is in a desperate situation.
15:48However, Princess Farah's father, King Raimon, appears on the monitor.
15:55Following her father's instructions, Princess Farah uses the space rats to place the key on the Altea crest of GoLion, and the Beast King Sword is revived.
16:06Then the situation turned around, and GoLion began his counterattack, raising his sword and charging at the Garura, finishing it off.
16:19Afterwards, GoLion heads towards Garura Castle, but Syncline shoots capsules containing living slaves at GoLion.
16:28Upon contact, it explodes, pulverizing the slaves inside and leaving GoLion unable to move.
16:38Seeing this, Syncline immediately dispatches a large fleet to destroy GoLion.
16:46However, Honerva confesses that the murdered Daibazar was his son, and attacks the Capsule Haters one after another, blowing them up.
16:58Sinclair kills Honerva as a traitor, but before dying she tells Sinclair that his mother is an unnamed Altean.
17:12Sinclair is shocked, but when GoLion attacks, he fortifies Garla Castle and fights back.
17:20Golion struggles against the attacks from Garla Castle, but at that moment Freedom Fortress arrives and supports Golion from the rear.
17:31Afterwards, Garla Castle began to collapse under concentrated fire, and as defeat became increasingly likely, his subordinates desperately begged Sinclair to admit defeat and beg for their lives.
17:46However, an enraged Sinclair kills these men with his sword.
17:54Still, outside the castle, the Galra soldiers raise the white flag and surrender.
18:01Meanwhile, Shirogane Ryo fights against Syncline, his brother's enemy, but he is cornered and the members of GoLion who have come after him are unable to do anything.
18:12Then, taking Ryo hostage, Syncline attacks GoLion, but is suddenly attacked by the space rat's plane, causing Ryo to stab himself with the knife he was holding and fall along with Syncline.
18:29Amidst the sadness of Ryo's tragic end, he made a noble sacrifice and defeated Sinclair and the Garra army, and peace finally came to the universe.
18:43The scene changes and GoLion is displayed on Altea Hill as a guardian deity of peace, and the program ends with the members of GoLion lying down comfortably in a field full of blooming flowers.
19:03Now, let's take a look at GoLion in action.
19:13Thank you for watching.
19:43The curtain has risen on the battle
19:50Let the waves of justice fall
19:58Victory is ours! Go! Go! Lion
20:13Don't rush, don't get discouraged, don't give up
20:27Pride, confidence, heaven-shattering
20:35My friend, get over the hurt in me
20:41Fight to the end, if you're a man
20:47Victory is ours! Go! Go! Dry Lion
20:57One, plus one, plus one, plus one
21:07Without hesitation, without confusion, without turning around
21:15Hope, a future, a smile
21:22The far end of the sky dyed crimson
21:28Aim for that shining star
21:34Victory is ours
21:38Go! Go! Go!
21:40Go! Go! Lion
21:42What did you think?
21:57When I first saw GoLion, I felt something strange about its lack of fingers.
22:02It looked like a special effects robot whose hands had become idols and could not grasp anything except for a sword.
