テレビトランスクリプション
00:00Hello. Thank you for watching today.
00:18Today's topic is Captain Future.
00:21Captain Future is a space opera released in the 1940s, set in a future where humanity has expanded across the galaxy, and featuring characters such as genius scientists, robots, synthetic humans, and living brains.
00:42Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:46Captain Future was produced by NHK and Projection Video and aired a total of 53 episodes from 1978 to 1979.
01:03The story begins with Cashew, the head of the Solar System Government, waiting for the return of Megarashi, an intelligence agent he has commissioned to conduct a spring investigation.
01:14At that moment, a large man who appears to be Engine breaks into Cashew's office and dies, leaving behind the words "Emperor of the Universe."
01:25That dead engine was the intelligence agent Cashew had been waiting for.
01:31Cashew's request was to investigate a mechanical phenomenon or strange disease that would cause humans to become engines like him, or to revert to their ancestors.
01:44With even Naute's agents suffering such tragic results, Cashew, desperate, finally decides to ask Captain Future, the galaxy's greatest scientist and adventurer, to investigate.
01:59Captain Future receives a request from Cashew and heads to the planet Megara on his spaceship, the Comet.
02:08At the same time, they are forced to bring along Ken Scott, a boy they met by chance during the space voyage and who stowed away on the Comet without permission.
02:18After that, the Comet was sailing smoothly towards the planet Megara, but suddenly it came under attack from an unidentified spaceship and fought back.
02:30A flaming, unidentified spaceship crash-lands on the satellite, and the assailants are captured, revealing that they are minions of the Space Heavenly King.
02:42After arriving on the planet Megara, the synthetic human Oddou disguises himself as one of Space King's minions and falsely reports that he has killed Captain Future, thereby deciding to meet Space King in person.
02:57However, the Space King who appeared had no physical form and used his ability to pass through matter at will to kill the subordinates who had been exiled to the Comet and then leave.
03:12After this, through their space adventure, Captain Future and his friends will face off against a number of formidable foes, including the Space King, and solve the cases.
03:25Now, let me introduce the characters.
03:31The main character, Captain Future, whose real name is Curtis Newton, is known as one of the greatest scientists and adventurers in the solar system.
03:42The wristwatch-shaped medal, set with nine jewels and designed to resemble the former planets of the solar system, is Captain Future's symbol, and by presenting this medal, access to all facilities and equipment within the solar system is granted.
04:00They typically wear a synthetic ginu, a zip-up suit made of synthsilk, and carry a proton pistol in a tungsten belt holster.
04:11Both of his parents were brilliant scientists, but they were murdered by the thug Victor Corvo, who was after their research results. Dr. Simon, Gragg, and Otto avenged their parents' deaths and are raising their only son, Curtis.
04:30As he grows up, Curtis learns the truth about his parents' murder and takes on the name Captain Future, determined to dedicate himself to justice.
04:41At the same time, Dr. Simon and his friends, known as the Future Men, support Captain Future and fight alongside him.
04:52Simon Wright, also known as the Living Nou, is a father figure to Captain Future.
05:00He was originally his parents' best friend and research partner, and before he died, his brain was removed and placed in a case filled with culture medium, allowing him to survive on his own brain.
05:13Normally, it can move by floating, and uses magnetospheric beams to conduct analysis and research, and in emergencies it also pilots the Comet.
05:26Grack is a robot with unparalleled combined power, and uses a micro-nuclear reactor as its energy source.
05:35By attaching various attachments to the fingers, it is possible to perform a wide range of crafting tasks.
05:42Otto is a synthetic human with pure white skin and green eyes, and by using various dyes and chemicals, he can disguise not only his face, but also his body and voice to look exactly like anyone else's.
05:57The energy source is a blend of chemicals, but it can also be obtained from the human diet.
06:07His favorite dog, Eek, Meteorite Mole, and Oak are space creatures who are pets to Grack and others, and unlike their owners, they always get along well.
06:19The Yeek feed on iron-containing minerals and communicate telepathically.
06:28Oak, like his owner Otto, is also skilled at disguise, but there seems to be a limit to the size of his disguise.
06:37Joan Randall is a female intelligence agent in the Planetary Patrol of the Planetary Police Organization, and is one of the few characters who calls Captain Future by his real name, Curtis.
06:52She is in a romantic relationship with Captain Future and has carried out life-risking missions with him.
07:00Ezra Gurney is Joan's boss and a veteran investigator.
07:05It is also a real-life scene of the space pirate Falcon, once the most feared in the solar system.
07:13Ken Scott is an orphan who idolizes Captain Future, and since stowing away on the Comet, he has become a purely character-driven character on Future's side.
07:25James Cashew is the first head of the Solar System Government and the only person in the universe who can make requests to Captain Future.
07:35When making a request, you will be contacted using a special communication key.
07:41Captain Future's beloved ship, the Comet, can be disguised as a Comet, or as its name suggests, as it is water-based, by using a water-based camouflage device to cover it with hyper-charged particles.
07:57The design and manufacturing was carried out independently by Future Surface, and the typical hull uses Inertron, a special metal with special insulators filled into the gaps.
08:10In addition, thanks to the high-performance cyclotron propulsion system of the previous model, it has the ability to travel at ultra-high speeds, making it the fastest in the solar system.
08:22Later, the installation of a vibration drive enabled ultra-high speed intergalactic travel, and the installation of a construction thruster allowed time travel.
08:37In terms of armament and equipment, it is equipped with two proton horns as fixed armament, as well as research and medical facilities.
08:46These are the main enemies and organizations that confront Captain Future, but various characters appear in each episode.
08:58The Space Emperor appears in the Terrifying Space Emperor arc, where he uses his atavism to turn humans into engines, and his atomic vibration device allows him to become incorporeal or pass through any object.
09:16His true identity was Kels, the Megaran Viceroy, who was targeting the ruins of the Megaran civilization and trying to gain power, and he was taking advantage of the social anxiety caused by atavism, a disease that causes Earthlings to degenerate into engines.
09:33In the end, Dr. Simon creates a miracle drug that cures the atavism, while the Space Emperor is captured after the atomic oscillator is turned off.
09:46Zikaru is a scientist from the planet Katain who appeared in the Lost World of Time arc. He plotted to kill all the Martians on Katain, the fifth planet in the solar system that existed 100 million years ago, before it was destroyed, and then have the Katains migrate to Mars, and then become the king of Holy Katain himself.
10:09The Future Men accidentally receive a timeless message from Darmur, a scientist who advocates avoiding war and migrating outside the solar system, and they travel through time to thwart Zical's ambitions.
10:25The Demolition Wrecker appears in the "Chosun: Stormy Undersea City" arc, plotting to monopolize glavium, a metal essential for space travel and gravity controllers. After destroying glavium mines in the solar system one by one, he attempts to monopolize the only remaining glavium mine on Neptune.
10:51The culprit was the king of the sea demons, Regel, who had been transformed into the Surrender Officer using a mind transplant device.After being captured by the Future Men, he was once again returned to his true body using the mind transplant device.
11:08King Ralstan first appeared in Beyond the Shining Stars, where, as the king of the planet Cor, he monopolized the matter generation device and plotted to rule the universe.
11:22However, he was blinded by immediate material desires and was eventually shot dead by Oddo.
11:29Urkoru is a nemesis who appeared in the Seven Treasures of the Solar System arc and is the son of Victor Corvo, who killed Captain Future, Curtis's parents, and the Newtons.
11:45After escaping from prison, he pursues the Future Men, who defeated his father, as his enemies and has confronted them several times.
11:53His intelligence and scientific ability were at a genius level, and he was also the Future Men's greatest enemy.
12:03Dr. Zaro appears in the Dark Star Close Approach arc and is a self-proclaimed genius scientist.
12:10As they report on the existence of a giant dark star approaching from outside our solar system, in exchange for teaching us how to avoid it, they are demanding sovereignty over all of the solar system, including the old planets.
12:24In fact, the dark star is fake, and Dr. Zaro is actually an Earthling named Krim in disguise, who is discovered and captured by the Future Men.
12:34Kim Ivan appears in the Flood Arc of Space Prisoner Wars and is a former prisoner of space pirates.
12:44While being mistakenly sent to Cerberus Prison during a prisoner battle, he causes a flood and steals a spaceship, but ends up crash-landing on a dying planet, and he and Captain Future have to build a spaceship from scratch.
12:59King Sorix appears in the Comet King's Conspiracy arc and is the king of the Treasure Planet people who live in the core of Halley's Comet.
13:10He was being controlled by Alurus, a creature from another dimension, and in an attempt to expand his influence beyond the comet, he captured a spaceship and, going mad, gained knowledge.
13:21Since he cannot compete with Arurus in his human form, Captain Future transforms into an electric human and defeats him.
13:31The Cold Ones appear on the planet Talast in the Rescue Generation arc. They are artificial mutants with the appearance of human skeletons, capable of surviving the rigors of outer space without any physical force.
13:47They hated their creators, the Thalastos, with a passion and sought to eradicate them.
13:52However, it was discovered that the Cold Ones' weakness was ultraviolet light, so they used an ultraviolet light generator to successfully eradicate them.
14:06The Immortal Emperor appears in the Threat: Immortal Smuggling Squad arc, where he establishes a system for the smuggling of the Water of Life, a drug that temporarily restores youth and health, causing a serious opioid epidemic throughout the solar system.
14:22When the Future Men destroy the Water of Life, which is created using radioactive material, the Immortal Emperor tries to stop them, but is caught up in the destruction process and dies.
14:36Now, finally, it's the final episode.
14:40The final episode will be a continuation from the previous episode, episode 52.
14:45Captain Future and his crew have come to excavate the ruins of Denevzin, and are investigating the cause of the sudden downfall of a great galactic empire.
14:58Then they discover a stone tablet engraved with secret inscriptions that gives them a clue as to the cause.
15:06The secret text also stated that the Cave of Life, which could unlock the technology of artificial evolution, exists on Planet R, and its exact location was also written.
15:15However, Captain Future and his men believe that the stone tablet will harm humanity, so they destroy it.
15:25Meanwhile, Norton and Winters, scientists who cannot give up on the secret of artificial evolution, a major discovery that promises their future, kidnap Joan and Ken and steal the Comet, heading for Planet R.
15:41Later, after the Comet is stolen, Captain Future and his crew modify an old spaceship used by Norton and his crew and pursue them.
15:52Meanwhile, Norton and his crew arrive on Planet R on the Comet, where they befriend a human named Gyōchō, who calls himself a mere human, and try to find out the secret of artificial evolution.
16:05Despite their damaged craft, Captain Future and his crew manage to reach Planet R, only to be mistaken for mere humans and attacked by half-beasts.
16:19However, once the misunderstanding is cleared up, the half-beast explains that they have been persecuted by humans and treated like livestock.
16:30He also believes that Captain Future and his companions are ancient people from legend, people who will help him transform from half-beasts back into humans, and promises to cooperate with them.
16:43Joan and Ken then head to Lapoon, an abandoned city where they are believed to have been abducted.
16:50Meanwhile, Norton is torturing Joan to get her to reveal the secrets of the glyphs.
16:56Winters tries to stop the torture, but is shot and killed instead.
17:03The Future Men rush to the scene and rescue Joan, but Norton and the others escape again on the Comet, heading for the location of the Cave of Life where Joan had left them.
17:16However, since Joan had not told them the exact location of the cave, Norton was lying in wait for the Future Men near the cave.
17:27Later, the Future Men arrive late, discover the cave, and manage to enter it.
17:34Norton and his men, who were watching the successor, burst into the cave, but were counterattacked by Captain Future and his men and fell off a cliff to their deaths.
17:45Later, a man and woman who had been sleeping in a facility inside the cave awaken from their slumber and explain the secrets of artificial evolution.
17:53Artificial evolution, which was intended to allow their companions to develop humans who could survive in any environment, was misused and ended up creating anti-beastmen as slaves.
18:08In such a situation, civil war broke out over the pros and cons of artificial evolution, so the two entered an artificial sleep device and waited for the chaotic situation of motherhood to subside.
18:22The anti-beastmen become furious when the two propose to turn them into humans, but are disappointed when they are told that it will only be the next generation that will be able to be reborn as humans.
18:38However, we are still happy and grateful that our descendants will be able to return to being human.
18:45After dealing with the anti-beastmen, the two destroy the cave facilities and return to their planet.
18:54The show ends with Captain Future and his crew being seen off by the anti-beastmen and returning to Earth.
19:05Now, let's take a look at Captain Future in action.
19:15When I was a kid, I could fly.
19:38I lay down on the grass, spread the wings of my heart, and was able to go anywhere.
19:51When I loved you, the wings I had forgotten taught me once again how to fly in the sky of my dreams.
20:10Whichever way you look, it's space, whichever way you look, it's the future, no matter how far you go, it's space, no matter how far you go, it's the future.
20:28Every man dreams of the sky, dreams of the sky, dreams of the sky, dreams of the sky.
20:58Riding a motorcycle is something I dreamed of as a boy, and I will never forget it until the day I die.
21:13With your love in the cold darkness
21:23Go through it without fear and you'll be able to go to tomorrow
21:34Wherever you look, you'll see the universe
21:37Whichever way you look, the future
21:42No matter how far you go, it's space
21:46No matter how far we go, the future
21:50Wherever you look, you'll see the universe
21:54Whichever way you look, the future
21:58No matter how far you go, it's space
22:02No matter how far we go, the future
22:06What did you think?
22:22When it was first aired, I liked the innovative design of the spaceship Comet, which had a shape I had never seen before.
22:29However, the name Comet was the same as that of Comet, a show starring Daibaku Miko that aired at the same time, so it was a naming choice that left me with mixed feelings.
22:43Well, that's all for now. See you next time. Bye.
22:59Thank you for watching.
