The first half depicted the Black Star Clan's Earth invasion strategy using barrier piles progressing step by step. The latter part unfolded a story where the protagonist, Shishido Takashi, must fight his twin brother, who had become the Black Star Clan's Earth invasion commander.
00:20On the beautiful planet Rosetta, a conflict breaks out between two ethnic groups, and a mother and child from one of the defeated tribes flees to Earth, but now the forces of the enemy are closing in on their second home, Earth, so in this film, Megaloman, they fight alongside the Earthlings.
00:46Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:50Megaloman was produced by Toho and aired for a total of 31 episodes in 1979.
01:03The story begins with an unidentified monster being sent to Earth.
01:10The purpose of sending the monster was to conquer the Earth and build a solar energy absorption base in order to secure solar energy.
01:21Meanwhile, a martial arts match is taking place at a dojo, and although Shishido Takashi wins the match, his master, Takamine Sougen, encourages him to grow spiritually.
01:36Takashi is dejected at the unexpected scolding, but then news comes on that a monster has appeared.
01:44He hurries home and heads to the cockpit of the secret spaceship where his mother is, where she tells him that the monsters rampaging on Earth were sent by the Kokusei tribe.
01:57Then, Takashi is given the Megalon Bracelet by his mother and heads off to fight monsters.
02:05Meanwhile, the Kunisei tribe, who were using monsters to destroy cities one after another to build a barrier for their solar energy absorption base, were close to completion.
02:20However, Megaloman appears, accompanied by flames.
02:24Since this is his first battle, Megaloman has no combat experience and struggles against the monster's attacks, but with his mother's advice, he uses fire to defend against the monster's fierce attacks.
02:41He then overwhelms the monster by moving from a defensive use of flames to a counterattack using offensive techniques, and finally finishes it off with Megalon Fire, a fireball fired at his opponent.
02:55Although he managed to win the first battle, when the Kokusei tribe began their invasion, Takashi vowed to protect his second home, Earth, at all costs.
03:11Now, let me introduce the characters.
03:15The main character, Shishido Takashi, is half human, born to an Earthling father and a Rosetta alien mother. Using swordsmanship and other weapons, he transforms into Megaloman and fights the Kokusei tribe and monsters.
03:31By putting on the Megalon Bracelet and shouting "Energy Up," he puts on an energy suit and flies to the scene, transforming into Megaloman and fighting the enemy.
03:43You can also give your own energy to your teammates through the bracelet by calling Scrum Energy.
03:54Allies who receive the energy will be able to wear energy suits, dramatically increasing their fighting power.
04:02Shishido Mari, whose real name is Rosemary, is Takashi's mother and a member of the Mane tribe from the planet Rosetta.
04:14She met Takashi's father, Goh, an astronaut, during an emergency landing on Rosetta Planet, and they later married and had twins.
04:24After losing the battle against the Kokusei tribe, he fled to Go's home planet, Earth.
04:32Go Shishido is an Earthling astronaut and Takashi's father.
04:39He was thought to have been killed by Gagaa, but he survived and is fighting against the Kunoise tribe alongside the rebels.
04:50Takamine Sougen is the Prime Minister of Takashi's Constitution and a close friend of his father, Go.
04:57Takashi and Mari's spaceship orders them to flee to Earth.
05:02I'm helping by donating my land.
05:06Later, he followed in the footsteps of his friend, who was serving as commander of the Ministry of Defense, and became commander in the battle against the Kusei tribe.
05:15At the end of the story, he dies in battle protecting his daughter, Ran.
05:19From episode 2, Takashi's friends learn his secret and are given the Megalon Bracelet by his mother, Mari, and begin fighting against the Kunisei tribe.
05:32Takanerau is Sougen's daughter and Takashi's lover, and fights wearing a pink energy suit.
05:43Yurihyosuke is a humorous friend who studies the Constitution with Takashi and fights wearing a yellow energy suit.
05:55Seiji Kurokawa is a calm and collected friend who studies the Constitution with Takashi and fights wearing a blue energy suit.
06:08In episode 25, he is fatally wounded by the enemy and dies while jealously encouraging Megaloman.
06:16Ippei Mashira is the youngest Constitutional ally and fights wearing a green energy suit.
06:27As his name suggests, he specializes in constitutions that imitate the movements of monkeys.
06:31Shishido Takashi shouts "Megalon" and brings the Megalon Bracelets together in front of his chest, transforming and emerging from the flames as Megaloman.
06:46Spec is a giant hero who is 150 meters tall and weighs 8,800 tons. His distinctive appearance is characterized by a long, white piece of paper that he swings around when unleashing his special moves.
07:04He uses techniques such as the Cyclone Kick and Tiger Crush, which are applications of space swordsmanship, and is equipped with the Megalon Blade and the Megalon Blader, which can be transformed into a long sword.
07:17In addition, as a special move, Megalon Fire, an ultra-high temperature flame, is released from the vertical paper by storing fire energy in the Megalon Aura.
07:29There is no time limit for battle due to the transformation, but reusing Megalon Fire requires energy recovery, so it takes three minutes for continuous firing.
07:42Invasion of Earth
07:43The Kokusei tribe, led by President Smeller, are plotting to invade Earth and are hostile to Megaloman.
07:53Made by Rosetta, after winning the war against the Mane tribe, they began their invasion of Earth in search of solar energy.
08:03Initially, Rosetta gave orders for the operation to Captain Dagger, but as the invasion was not progressing smoothly, when they arrived at the fortress planet, they fell into Dagger's trap.
08:17He is then transformed into the monster Nunchuck and fights Megaloman, losing.
08:24Captain Dagger was based on a fortress planet and, as the commander of the Kokusei tribe, was carrying out an invasion of Earth, but due to interference from Megaloman, the plan did not proceed, and he aroused the suspicions of President Smeller.
08:41To protect himself, he traps President Smeller, kills him as a monster, and then reports and handles the death as an unfortunate spaceship accident to his home planet.
08:54In fact, Dagger has a shocking truth that even he didn't know, and in the final episode, he is shocked to learn the secret.
09:08Baylock is a scientist who becomes Dagger's right-hand man, and assists in the Earth invasion operation, including the plan to execute Megaloman using an army of monsters.
09:19In episode 25, he kills a newborn baby, and in episode 30, he dies in a fight with Kusahara.
09:28Also, the Kokusei monster that fights Megaloman is a soldier from the Kokusei tribe who is transformed into a monster using a monster synthesis device and appears.
09:42In the film, Smeller's equivalent, Yurihyosuke, Baylock's son, and Dagger are also transformed into monsters using the monster synthesis device, but in the case of Yurihyosuke and Dagger, they are separated from the monster and return to human form by using the separation device beam sent by Rosetta.
10:04Now, finally, it's the final episode.
10:12The final episode will be a continuation from the previous episode, episode 30.
10:16Takashi and his son, along with their friends, receive a message from their father, Gou, informing them that they have defeated the Kusei tribe and are returning to Earth.
10:29Meanwhile, in order to find out the location of Megaloman's base, Baylock spreads false information that he has kidnapped Ran, and lures out Takamine Sogen, the commander of the Ministry of Defense Defense Force, and kidnaps him.
10:44Baylock then threatens Takashi and his friends, saying that he will kill Kusahara if they engage in any hostile activity.
10:54Meanwhile, the kidnapped and tortured Plainsman refuses to give up the location of Megaloman's base, so Dagger tries to force him to surrender to Megaloman by taking Plainsman hostage and sending in monsters.
11:08When the monster appears, Takashi goes out to fight and transforms into Megaloman, but with the grassland being taken hostage in front of him, he is unable to fight and is left unilaterally attacked by the monster.
11:23At that moment, Ran and her friends rush to the scene and use a teleportation beam gun to rescue the grassland.
11:33After being safely rescued and seeing the grassland, Megaloman launches a counterattack and defeats the monster with Megalon Fire.
11:41However, Baylock, chasing Plains, attacks Ran, who has come to his aid, and fires a machine gun at Plains right in front of him, but he is hit with a sword-like kick from Plains, resulting in a draw and Baylock's death.
11:59Also, Sogen, who had been shot and was lying on the ground, took his last breath as the Sogens who had rushed to his aid looked on.
12:08Meanwhile, Ran is being chased by combatants and enters the enemy base, but Mari, the Mother of the Grasslands, appears and saves Ran.
12:18Mari tearfully tells Ran about the fate of her father and the grassland, but then Dagger appears.
12:25When Mari saw his face, she and her son, Takashi, discussed how they looked alike.
12:35Mari then approaches Dagger, talks to him, and asks about the rose-shaped birthmark on his neck, revealing that Dagger is her missing son, Takashi's twin brother, Hiroshi.
12:52However, Dagger refuses to believe him at all and instead informs him that her husband, Goe, and his wife, Mari, who are on their way to Earth, have been kidnapped, and asks him to hand over the documents.
13:05Meanwhile, Takashi also enters the base where his mother is, but his mother has been captured and taken hostage by Dagger, who threatens Takashi to hand over the bracelet.
13:19However, Ran and the others rush in and rescue Takashi and Mari, and at the same time, they get the bracelet back, but Takashi is shocked to see that Dagger's true face is exactly like his own, and stops dead in his tracks.
13:34Then, she is shocked when her mother, Mari, tells her that Dagger is her missing twin brother.
13:44Dagger is confused by this, but as a last resort, he uses the monster synthesis device to transform himself into a monster.
13:55Although Takashi is confused, he follows his mother's instructions to transform into Megaloman and tries to persuade Dagger, who has turned into a monster, but she doesn't listen, so he has no choice but to cut the monster to pieces with the Megalon Blader.
14:11Later, on the ground, Mari and Takashi rush to where the original Dagger, or Hiroshi, has collapsed.
14:22He shouts "Hiroshi!" and picks him up, but he still insists that it is Dagger from the Kuninami tribe, and then he dies.
14:31The scene changes and Go's spaceship arrives on Earth. Takashi and his parents are watching the sunset.
14:44To those who sacrificed their lives for peace, I say that we will continue to protect the peace that we have won.
14:51The show then ends with Takashi and his friends making a vow for peace as they look towards the sunset.
15:00Now, let's take a look at Megaloman in action.
15:07Go, go, go, Megaloman
15:30Go on forever
15:33The monster that attacks the Earth, our fame
15:39Backlash, mane, burning with light
15:46I'm sure it will protect the Earth, Megalo Tire
15:53Megaloman is going
15:56Megaloman will do it.
16:00Megaloman, the Warrior of Fire
16:05Go, go, go, Megaloman
16:11Go, go, go, Megaloman, to the limit of your life
16:17Let's fight until the power of evil is warmed up.
16:23Go, go, go Megaloman, for the rest of your life
16:31We will fight until the power of evil is eradicated
16:38Courageous Megaron Bracelet
16:44I'm sure I'll protect the Earth Tiger Slash
16:51Megaloman is going, Megaloman is going
16:58Megaloman: Warrior of Fire
17:10Go, go, go, Megaloman, go anywhere
17:17Grasp tomorrow with your hands that do not tolerate evil
17:24A mane of flames burning with justice
17:30I'm sure it will protect the Earth, Megalon Fire
17:36Megaloman is going, Megaloman is going
17:43Megaloman: Warrior of Fire
17:56What did you think?
17:58When I first saw Megaloman, he had gray hair.
18:04I remember being surprised by the appearance
18:07Since Megaloman, there have been no giant heroes to provoke.
18:12Looking back, I think it was quite innovative.
18:16Well, that's all for now. See you again soon.
