In this work, Ultra Speed Galbion, humanity—restricted from flight by aliens and confined to Earth—develops highways on land and builds a super-high-speed automotive society.
00:21In this game, Super High Speed Galvion, humanity is confined to Earth after being restricted from flying by aliens, and they develop highways on land to build a super high speed automobile society.
00:42Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:46Super Speed Galvion was produced by International Film Company and aired a total of 22 episodes in 1984.
00:59In the year 2099, Earth makes remarkable progress thanks to technology brought by aliens, but after starting a world war, the aliens come to view humanity as a barbaric species.
01:14The story then begins with the Sigma Barrier covering the entire Earth, trapping humanity, who are considered a danger, on Earth.
01:26Although humanity is isolated from space, they are able to thrive by developing land-based transportation networks and cars that can transform into robots.
01:38One day, the circus team receives a request to safely and quickly relay the anti-cancer serum needed for surgery on a dying girl.
01:55Mu and Maya are in charge and travel at high speed to the next port for the relay.
02:02In fact, the two, Mu and Maya, are prisoners who have committed crimes, but they are exempt from prison rules by carrying out special missions requested by the facility's police team, the circus owner, Ray Midoriyama.
02:19The two were heading to the chairman, but on the way they were chased by a mysterious vehicle and the driver, who was on the verge of death, asked them to deliver the microtape to the TV station director.
02:33Afterwards, Mu and Maya hurry on to transport the anti-cancer serum, but their lives are threatened several times along the way.
02:44However, by transforming into Galbio, he escapes danger and safely delivers the anti-cancer serum to a speedboat waiting at the port.
02:53After completing the mission, they play the microtape they received to confirm, and discover that it contains information about Shadow, a secret organization formed to control humanity.
03:09Then, when they hand the microtape over to the TV station director, the director is murdered in front of Maya and Mu.
03:18Therefore, they transform into Galvio, fight the opposing robot, and emerge victorious, but Maya and Mu find themselves drawn into the battle without knowing Shadow's true identity or purpose.
03:35Now, let me introduce the characters.
03:39As for the main characters, let's start with Mu and Maya, who were conditionally released from prison by Ray Midoriyama.
03:53Mu is a Galvion driver and has had a turbulent life since escaping from an orphanage as a child.
04:02He has a short-term personality, but he is a cheerful and playful guy who has a weakness for beautiful women.
04:10He was once known as a genius racer, and his driving techniques were so outstanding that he was praised for his driving skills, but he was involved in a traffic accident and was sentenced to 280 years in prison.
04:23Maya was the navigator of Galvion and the son of a wealthy man, so he was well versed in dealing with women.
04:31He is an intelligent, calm and collected character, but he is always fighting with Moo, who is the complete opposite of him.
04:40He was serving a 250-year sentence for online computer fraud.
04:47Although Mount Reiroku is a sacred place for the wealthy, he works as an investigator for the Special Police.
04:57Her personality is very sexy, but she is also a refreshing character.
05:02His father was assassinated by Shadow because he was searching for Shadow, who formed the Facility Police, a circus, and plotted to take over the world.
05:15Terry is a mechanic, swordsman, and driver of the Galvion 2, commonly known as the Zecter.
05:22When it comes to mechanical technology and driving techniques, Lingyokuzan has complete confidence in him.
05:29Michiko is in charge of computers and communications, and with her calm personality, she has top-notch computer skills.
05:42In fact, she is a descendant of aliens who brought technology and other things to Earth.
05:50Remy is a genius mechanic and, although he often behaves childishly, has an active and cheerful personality.
05:59Inca is a gynoid from Reirokugawa, and with his excellent electronic brain, he also serves as a secretary.
06:08Mutmaya also served as a point assessor to determine whether or not a destination would be selected.
06:14As for the Circus Team's mecha, Muto Maya first appears in Circus One, commonly known as Galvion. Normally, it acts as a supercar and moves at high speed, but
06:29During battle, it transforms into its road fighter form, Galvion.
06:36Additionally, an intermediate form called a Road Attacker form was also set up for use in battle.
06:43Its main armament is a missile launcher, with optional weapons such as a beam bazooka and boost magnum also available.
06:56The Zecter is a new transforming vehicle that supports the Galvion, and is primarily made up of Delly.
07:03In robot form, the pilot's face can be seen through the head visor, giving it a powered suit-like mechanism.
07:13In episode 21, it combines with the Weapon Booster to become the Burst Zecter.
07:22Circus 2 is the team's private trailer, and while it has maintenance functions for the Galvion and other vehicles, it also serves as a mobile base with living space behind the driver's cab.
07:35However, in episode 19, it is destroyed by Thomas Gilden's Metal Battler army.
07:43Metal Butler is a giant humanoid weapon that Henry restored and mass-produced based on pre-World War II blueprints discovered in a mine.
07:56Its combat power surpasses that of the Galvion, but the mental burden it places on the pilot is so great that it can cause mental breakdown.
08:06Circus Team
08:10The circus team and Galvion's enemy is Shadow, a secret organization plotting world domination.
08:18The Shadow is made up of 13 members, and while the list includes figures representing major industries and the political world, most of them die in battle or through betrayal during the story.
08:35Henry McMillan is the newest member and a man of global automotive influence.
08:45Although he comes from a poor background, he has alien blood and supernatural powers, but his ambitions are not satisfied by becoming a member of Shadow, and he eliminates other members in order to conquer the world.
08:59Although she views the circus team as an enemy, she has feelings for Rei Midorikawa, unaware that he is the team's representative.
09:09Johnny is Henry's subordinate and pilots the Excalibur.
09:15A former Death Driver, he was selected by Henry and sent on missions to kill other Shadow members and sabotage the Circus Team.
09:25Margo X is also Henry's subordinate and pilots a specialized mecha, the Goblin.
09:35By appearing as a heavily armored, power-focused goblin, he used brute force tactics against Galvion.
09:44This work, Super High Speed Galvion, was suddenly canceled after 22 episodes due to the bankruptcy of its sponsor, Takatoku Toys.
09:58Furthermore, the production company, Kokusai Eigasha, which was trying to complete the series with a theatrical release, went bankrupt the following year due to worsening financial conditions, so in a sense the series has become somewhat of a notorious one.
10:14The main contents that could not be broadcast and were lost are as follows.
10:18First, there's Henry, who becomes the boss of Shadow and takes control of the City and Ray Midoriyama.
10:28As the situation worsens, the circus team goes underground and carries out guerrilla operations, while also locating a spaceship equipped with a Sigma Barrier control device, only for it to be stolen by Shadow.
10:42Henry then attempts to take over the world by mass-producing Metal Battlers and using the Sigma Barrier control device, but the Circus Team and their allies thwart his ambitions and, by using the control device, humanity is able to regain control of the skies.
11:02With Earth returning to normal, Henry, who has suffered a mental breakdown and is confined to a wheelchair, is supported by Ray Midoriyama, and the story was scheduled to end with the weddings of Muto Terry and Maya and Michiko.
11:19Now let's take a look at the final episode, episode 22, which was aired on TV.
11:27Shadow's female executive, Eileen Milford, devises a plan to pit the Amazon army, made up entirely of female warriors, against the circus team.
11:40While eating at a restaurant and discussing their plans to attack a circus team, Irene and her friends get caught up in a small argument.
11:52However, Mut Maya, who happened to be there, solved the problem.
12:01Later, as she spends time with Maya over dinner, Irene, who is supposed to hate men, realizes that she is seriously considering a romance with Maya.
12:13And there we find Irene, struggling with her own policies and hatred of men as she has survived as a woman.
12:23A few days later, Muu heads to a date with a woman he met at a restaurant, unaware that it's a trap, but finds Irene and her army of Amazons waiting for him.
12:35Despite his resistance, Moo is captured, stripped naked, and is about to be subjected to the same punishment again, but then the circus team, suspicious of Moo who they are unable to contact, rushes to his rescue.
12:49After a brawl between the circus team and the Amazon army, it develops into a man-to-man battle between Maya's Galvion and the transforming robot piloted by Irene.
13:01Maya persuades Irene, who is constantly speaking ill of and insulting about men, that it is natural for men and women to work together, holding hands and coexisting.
13:16Suddenly, Irene's mind wavered and the attack came to a halt.
13:22Johnny and Margo X, who were watching the scene, abandoned Irene and instead attacked her, seriously injuring her and leaving.
13:34As she lies dying, Irene apologizes for her mistaken thinking, announces the disbanding of the Amazonian army, and dies in Maya's arms.
13:48The scene changes to the main characters, and after a narrator briefly explains what will happen next, the show abruptly ends.
