00:00Hello. Thank you for watching today.
00:17Today's topic is the invincible superhuman, Zambot 3.
00:21In this film, Invincible Superman Zambot 3, the descendants of aliens unearth their ancestors' spaceships and robots and fight against aliens who were also their ancestors' enemies and are trying to conquer the Earth.
00:38Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:41Invincible Superman Zambot 3 was produced by Nippon Sunrise and aired for a total of 23 episodes between 1977 and 1978.
00:57The story begins with Jin Kappei riding a large motorcycle and engaging in a duel with his bad friend, Kozuki Shingo.
01:07A police car appears in front of the out-of-control motorcycle, so Kappei and his friends call off the fight and flee, but at that moment an unidentified monster appears from underground.
01:22Meanwhile, Kappei's parents were fishing bosses and ran Jin Sui, while his grandparents secretly excavated the mecha that their ancestors had left on the seabed.
01:34The same monster appears at the excavation site and destroys the excavation equipment and facilities, but suddenly a large infection appears from under the sea.
01:48Kappei rushes to the scene and is taken into custody by the infected, and at the same time, using the sleep learning data knowledge, Kappei boards the Zanbird and takes off.
01:57Then, a monster, or rather a mecha boost, Domila, appears from the sea, and Kappei attacks.
02:08When necessary, Kappei changes from his flying form, Zanbird, to his robot form, Zambo Ace, to face the attacking Domila.
02:17However, Domila, who is skilled in underwater combat, drags Zambo Ace underwater and gains an advantage in the battle.
02:27Therefore, Kappei manages to escape from Domila, rises to the surface, and begins his counterattack against Domila with his Zanbo Magnum.
02:38It becomes a fierce battle, but by targeting Domila's weak spot with the Zambo Magnum, he barely manages to win the first match.
02:48After this, the Jin family faces off against powerful enemies using King Vial, a giant spaceship left behind by their ancestors, which combines three ships into one, and Zambot 3, a giant robot formed by combining the three robots that were on each ship.
03:08Now, let me introduce the characters.
03:15The main character, Jin Kappei, is the pilot of the Zanbird or Zambo Ace, and also the main pilot of Zambot 3.
03:25He hates anything crooked and has a strong sense of justice that leads him to help those in need, but by facing warriors in battle, he grows greatly as a person and as a warrior.
03:39Kamie Spaceship is Kappei's cousin and the pilot of the Zanbol.
03:47Although he behaves in a pretentious manner, he is actually a kind-hearted and compassionate person.
03:55In battle, they served as staff officers, responsible for strategy and tactics.
04:00Kamikita Keiko is also Kappei's cousin and a pilot of the Zanbase.
04:08She has a bright and aura-like personality, but she can also be strong-willed, and when she combines into Zambot 3, she provides accurate situational judgment to Kappei, assisting him with strategy and combat support.
04:22Unlike the other family members, he had blue eyes and blonde hair.
04:28Kami Ichitaro is Kappei's older brother and is in charge of commanding the bridge of King Bial I, giving precise instructions to Kappei and the others.
04:39Unlike his younger brother, Kappei, he was serious and cautious, and led the battles.
04:49Kamimoto Goro and Hanae are Kappei's parents and run the fishing company Kami Suisan.
04:56Gengorou is strict and Hanae is a bit of a nag, but they are always concerned about Kappei as he takes part in battles, and they watch over him with a warm heart.
05:08Kamimune is Kappei's grandmother, a gentle person who reminisces about the past, such as when Deputy Prime Minister Nozaki was her first love and when she treasures the tea bowl given to her by Heizaemon.
05:26Secondly, he is also Keiko's grandfather.
05:29After King Vial was excavated, it became the funeral hall for the Jin family.
05:34This seems to be a common misunderstanding among viewers, but as the name suggests, Destiny is not a married couple, nor is he Kappei's grandfather.
05:43Kamikita Kyusaku and Yumiko are Keiko's parents and run a ranch in Shinshu.
05:52The couple skillfully manipulates Biel III to participate in battles, but they also show their strong will as parents by encouraging their daughter Keiko, who is showing signs of hesitation, to become independent.
06:04Her youngest daughter, Kimiko, along with her sisters Kazuyuki and Kiiro, who are the same age, sometimes help adults during battles, which was very nerve-wracking for her as a parent.
06:19Daita and Sumie Kamie are the parents of Uchuu-ta and run a medical practice in Tokyo.
06:25Her husband, Daita, is a very skillful person, and there were times when his wife, Sumie, would spank him on the buttocks.
06:32Sumie, who doesn't like fighting at all, even returns to his parents' home with Biel II during the play.
06:43Kamie Kazuyuki and Yellow are the younger brother and sister of the other space aliens, and in battle they sometimes take to the skies in a small submarine to get involved in the fighting themselves.
06:55Kozuki Shingo was a classmate at the merger, and they were often rivals.
07:02At the beginning, he resents the Jin family because he lost his home and became a refugee due to an invasion by an outside tribe, but after he learns the situation, he becomes an ally and acts together with them.
07:15Aki and Michi are the girls who are called the Merger Guard and Buspeers.
07:21Aki is turned into a human bomb by the Outer Tribe and dies, while Michi is rescued from the Outer Tribe and now works with the soldiers.
07:33Chionishiki is an Akita dog kept by Katsubi, and fights bravely against the foreign soldiers.
07:42Unusually for an animal, the Zambo satellite appeared throughout the introduction sequence.
07:48From here on, we will introduce the mecha operated by the Jin family.
07:57The Zanbird, featured in the live action series, is a high-speed fighter plane that can transform independently into a robot form, the Zanbo Ace.
08:07Also, Zanbird is a sub-seater and usually appears with Chionishiki.
08:13When transformed, the Zambo Ace's specifications are a total height of 30m and a weight of 250t, and the cockpit moves from the toes to the head.
08:26In addition, Zambo Ace's weapon is a special handgun, the Zambo Magnum.
08:33The Zambo Magnum is a pistol for the Zambo Ace, and can fly independently. It can be launched from the BR or the Zanbase, and by combining parts, it can also be used as a rifle.
08:49The Zambul is a heavy tank that appears in space and other locations, and is capable of flying for long distance travel.
08:56The cockpit is located relatively low and fits under the Zanbase cockpit when combined.
09:05Its main weapons include the Crusher Drill and Drill Missile.
09:11The Zanbase is a reconnaissance support mecha in which Keiko appears, and is equipped with and can fire the Zanbo Magnum, a weapon used by the Zanbo Ace.
09:21The main weapons are base missiles and base lasers.
09:26Zambot 3 is a combination of three mecha: Zanbird, Zanble, and Zanbase.
09:35Its specifications are a total height of 60m, a weight of 700t, an output of 30 million horsepower, and it is powered by an ion engine.
09:46These machines require young reflexes to operate, so the Kappei children were chosen instead of adults.
09:56It is also revealed that Kappei and the others had spent the six months prior to the battle learning through sleep, learning how to pilot each machine and eliminating their fear.
10:09The Zambot 3's main weapon is the Zambot Grap, a weapon based on a rhinoceros.
10:17The Zambot Cutter is a sword that matches the Zambot Grap in the image and has one blade extended.
10:23There are weapons such as the Zambot Grap, which is a sword with an extended design, the Zambot Blow, and the cross-shaped shuriken-shaped sword enemy weapon, the Zambot Buster.
10:35Its most powerful attack is the Moon Attack, in which a crescent-shaped energy bullet splits into two, surrounds the target, and launches a series of concentrated attacks on that one point.
10:48However, this attack requires a lot of energy, so its weakness is that it takes time to recharge when firing multiple times.
11:00King Bial is the first planet of Bial, managed by the Jin family and serving as a control room and spare parts hangar.
11:09The Bial Nisei is managed by the Kamie family and functions as a power supply and main engine.
11:16Managed by the Kamie family and equipped with information completion functions and ion cannons, the Vial Three Stars are combined to form a mobile offensive fortress, or a space battleship.
11:32The King Vial is powered by ion engines and is equipped with multiple weapons, including its most powerful weapon, the ion cannon.
11:40In the story, due to repeated damage from battles and a lack of materials, it is operated separately from episodes 9 to 18.
11:52During that period, Zamble and Zanbase remained on Planet Bial.
11:57The enemy of the Zambot Three and the Jin family is the Gaizok, a mysterious force that suddenly invades the solar system from outer space.
12:09Killer the Butcher is a commander of the Gaizok, a cruel, vicious, and ruthless character who enjoys killing Earthlings, and is also comical in his cold-heartedness.
12:24While he despised humanity, he was also a ruthless enemy who loved Earth's entertainment.
12:31It has also been observed that due to his unstable emotions at that time, he bullies his subordinates, Gizer, Bareter, and Zubter.
12:42Gaizok is the name of the enemy, but in fact it is also a mysterious entity that manipulates Butcher from behind the scenes.
12:51From the middle of the show onwards, his existence gradually becomes apparent as he makes repeated mistakes and tortures Butcher.
13:01When the Butcher is tortured, he appears as a giant eyeball, but in the final episode, his true nature is revealed.
13:12Bandok is a huge Gaizok battle fortress, and its appearance is half-man, half-horse, with a head and upper body that closely resembles a high-riding clay figurine, and four legs like a centaur.
13:26The head is a battle base and the torso is a headquarters base, and attacks can be carried out using just the head. Inside, there is also Butcher's recreation room, a command room, a mecha boost, and a human bomb manufacturing factory.
13:43Its main weapons included a bandock cannon that could vaporize any substance, space missiles, space mines, and large torpedoes, and it was also equipped with special barriers for defense.
13:57Mecha Boosts are Gaizok combat mecha, and many different Mecha Boosts have appeared, some of which are directly based on Butcher's ideas or things he has seen.
14:12Now, finally, it's the final episode.
14:18The final episode will be a continuation from the previous episode, episode 22.
14:25Finally, the Jin family heads into space on the King Vial for the final battle with Gaizok, but encounters the Hatred Army along the way.
14:35Although the squadron is damaged by the large number of haters, they break through the hater army and approach Banduk.
14:43Afterwards, when Bandok comes into view, Mecha Boost appears, so Zambot 3 counterattacks, but is hit with a Soriushi laser attack, forcing him to engage in close combat, only to be restrained by wires.
14:59Somehow, he manages to burn through the wires and escape, then slices Mecha Boost in half.
15:08At that time, King Vial fired four cannons and Bandook fired his Bandook cannon, and while neither side gave in, both received direct hits, making it impossible for the artillery battle to continue, and Bandook completed its suicide ramming.
15:21Sensing the danger posed by King Bial, Hey Simon, along with his fate, appears on Bial II and then launches a suicide attack on Bandok, destroying him.
15:34Bandok retreats due to heavy damage, but Gaizok, enraged by Bandok's damage, gives Butcher a final command to fight directly with Mecha Boost.
15:48At the same time, by breaking the seal, he also revived the Bandok gods, Red Knight, Deathkine, Blue Knight, and Heldine.
15:58At that time, as the final battle approached, the non-combatants, Saijo, the children, Kozuki, and Michi, were put to sleep and launched towards Earth in an evacuation capsule, when the head of Bandok, piloted by Butcher, Deathkine, and Heldyne attacked, and they immediately counterattacked.
16:20They somehow manage to launch the last evacuation capsule for Kappei's mother, but Piar III, who had separated from him, is attacked.
16:33The capsule then safely reaches Earth, and Kozuki notifies the Jin family, who are fighting in space, of their arrival.
16:43However, with the situation becoming unfavorable, Kappei's father, Gengorou, along with Bial III, launches a suicide attack on Descain and Heldine and is killed in the explosion.
16:57Seeing this scene, Kappei cannot stop crying, but when Butcher launches an attack, Zambot 3 connects Viall I's ion cannon directly to the machine and fires it, destroying Bandok's head, and Butcher finally disappears in cyborg form.
17:21Meanwhile, the moment Bandok's torso, which is still alive and releasing enormous amounts of energy, disappears, Gaizok, a monster-like creature with an eyeball, launches a heat attack, causing Kappei and the Jin family to lose consciousness.
17:38Suddenly, they find themselves in a mysterious space and a Gaizok attacks, so Zambot 3 intercepts it.
17:49However, that space itself was a hallucination by Gaizok, and in reality, Vial I and Zambot 3 were firing their fatal shots at each other.
17:59However, Uchuuta was able to see through this hallucinatory effect due to the pain from his injuries, and when he attacked the true enemy, Gaizok or Bandok's torso, everyone was freed from the hallucination.
18:17Afterwards, a fierce battle ensues with Bandok's torso, but Zambot 3's limbs are destroyed.
18:26Now unable to fight, Uchuuta and Keiko detach Zambo Ace, leave the rest to Kappei, and charge into Bandok's torso, meeting a tragic end.
18:42Seeing this, Kappei jumps into the body of the Bandok in his Zambo Ace and attacks, but Chiyonishiki, who was riding with him, is killed in the process.
18:56Then, when they enter a certain section, they finally discover Gaizok, but Kappei is surprised to learn that Gaizok's true identity is a computer created by the Gaizok aliens.
19:10This computer was programmed to attack and eliminate evil beings, and it explains that it perceived the Bial aliens and Earthlings, who it assumed were malicious, as evil beings.
19:26However, the computer does not seem to understand that Kappei and his friends are willing to sacrifice themselves to protect the Earth, and it repeatedly questions itself before exploding.
19:39Later, as Gaizok's body begins to fall towards Earth, Bial Ichisei sacrifices himself to slow down Gaizok's fall in an attempt to save Kappei, who is trapped inside, and explodes along with Gaizok.
19:58The scene changes to Earth, where Zambo Ace is shown crash-landing on a beach as the sun rises, appearing to be in tears.
20:09And on the beach, Michi was holding Kappei, who was scared of the cold and the fight, in her lap.
20:18The show then ends with Kappei coming to his senses as the surviving members of the Jin family and local people rush over to check that he is safe and congratulate him on his victory.
20:33Now, let's take a look at Zambot 3 in action.
20:39Let's take a look at Zambot 3 in action.
21:09Let's take a look at Zambot 3 in action.
21:39Let's take a look at Zambot 3 in action.
22:09What did you think?
22:15Every time I watch the show, I remember that Kappei's voice actor is Nobuyo Oyama, the voice actress for Doraemon.
22:22Am I the only one who thought it looked like Doraemon was piloting Zambot 3?
22:27What did you think?
22:31That's all for now, see you next time.
22:36Goodbye.
