00:00Hello. Thank you for watching today. Today's topic is Groizer X.
00:20An alien makes an emergency landing on Earth and attempts to conquer it. Meanwhile, a scientist who is also an alien but advocates peace develops a bomber that can transform into a robot and entrusts it to his daughter, who works with the humans to thwart the alien's ambitions. This film is about Groizer X.
00:44Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:47Groizer X was produced by Knack and aired for a total of 36 episodes from 1976 to 1977.
01:02The story begins at the All Japan Aviation Ministry with an acrobatic flight by Joko and Kaisakajo.
01:09After winning the competition, they return to Akanejima Island, leaving Tokyo Bay behind, but receive reports that an unidentified flying object is heading towards the island.
01:19Then, a huge flying object that they had never seen before made an emergency landing on the island.
01:27Joe and his friends are shocked, but they head towards the flying object to rescue the crew, where they rescue an injured female pilot.
01:37They then investigate the unidentified flying object that had made an emergency landing, but everything about it, including how it was controlled, remains unknown, and the mystery deepens.
01:49At the same time, mysterious attack robots launch from the North Pole and begin to attack Japan, causing the defense forces to fight back but to no avail.
02:00Upon hearing the news, the mysterious woman reveals her name is Rita and explains that the attack on the city was an air raid robot piloted by the Gaira aliens.
02:13He also asks Joe to appear in the unidentified flying object, Groizer X, and fight alongside him.
02:23Joe is hesitant to pilot a completely unfamiliar mecha, but he takes to the controls of the Groizer X and takes off to save the city under attack.
02:36Because he is still not used to piloting the robot, he has a hard time fighting the air raid robots he encounters, but with some advice from Rita on how to pilot it properly, he is able to launch a skillful attack and finally shoot down the enemy.
02:50However, the airstrike robot that was shot down transforms into a robot on the ground and retaliates.
02:58Therefore, after transforming into its robot form, Groizer X finally defeats the airstrike robot with attacks using crash bombs and tachyon bombs.
03:09While Joe celebrates defeating the enemy, Groizer X is faced with mixed emotions as he has to fight his fellow Gaira aliens, and Rita sympathizes with him. However, further challenges await him.
03:27Now, let me introduce the characters.
03:31Joe, also known as Kaisaka Joe, is a pilot who belongs to the Tobishima Pilot Team, a private airline based on Akanejima Island, a cothorn in Tokyo Bay.
03:43After losing his parents, he is taken in by Dr. Tobishima and becomes a pilot.
03:49He encounters Rita's defection due to Groizer X, and together with her, he becomes the pilot of Groizer X and fights against the Gaira aliens.
04:01Although he has a hot-blooded and reckless personality, he is also kind-hearted and has a strong sense of justice, and gradually begins to connect with Rita.
04:11Rita, a Gaira alien who opposes the invasion of Earth, pilots the Groizer X, built by her father, and escapes, but is injured and makes an emergency landing on Akane Island.
04:26He then joins Joe in facing a cruel fate against his fellow countrymen.
04:32Hideki Tobishima is a world authority on space engineering and the leader of the Tobishima pilot team.
04:42He is Joe's adoptive father and a pilot himself, so he gets Joe, who was once a rebellious delinquent, interested in airplanes and raises him into a first-class pilot.
04:56Back is Psycho-san, a former Zero ship pilot and member of the Tobishima pilot team.
05:02Now that I'm older, I realize that I survived the war because all of my comrades were killed in action.
05:12Sabu was the youngest member of the Tobishima pilot team and was something of a mascot.
05:19In episode 18, he pilots the Groizer X in place of Rita, who is injured in an enemy attack, and performs well.
05:27Ichibei is a mechanic and is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the team's planes, as well as the Groizer X.
05:38Although Hara came from a family of fishermen and net owners on Akanejima, he persistently pleaded to join the Tobishima pilot team, but his requests were always rejected.
05:51Director Yoshida was the head of the National Defense Forces' National Security Bureau, and with his advice, the construction of Groizer X's secret base on Akane Island went smoothly.
06:04Shimura Daikichi and Midori are father and son who run a clinic on Akane Island, treating Cho and Ita, wounded in battle.
06:15He also took in and raised Masato, the son of his sister and her husband who was killed in the battle, but in episode 27, Masato was subjected to resistance from the Gaira aliens and developed an incurable disease, and in episode 30, he passed away at a young age.
06:32The Groizer X, piloted by Joe and Rita, usually fights in aircraft form, but when the command "Fight up" is shouted, it transforms into robot form.
06:47Powered by multi-temperature energy, the aircraft is constructed from a special alloy that allows it to self-repair in the event of minor damage, even during combat.
06:58The specifications were a total length of 100m and a weight of 1,200t, and the cockpit at the head was a visual type, with the eyes looking directly outside.
07:13Additionally, the aircraft houses specialized small mecha such as the small fighter GZ, the ground and underground tank G Tank, and the underwater submersible G Shark.
07:28These mechas are transported directly from the cockpit in the head to their respective mechas, complete with the pilot's seat.
07:36The main weapons are beams of light that are fired from the head antenna, multi-temperature light bullets, aerial torpedoes with drills, flying torpedoes,
07:48High voltage current beams, lightning bolt guns,
07:53Missiles launched from the main body, neck missiles, G cutters that expose built-in cutters in the wings,
08:03It also has the G-Winder, which is equipped on its head and fires two crest-like plates that can cut.
08:11The enemy of Super, Rita, and Earth is the Gaira Empire, which has a secret base at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean.
08:22The Gaira Empire was formed 300 years ago when the Gaira aliens appeared on a spaceship that crash-landed on the Earth's North Pole.
08:32It is a dark organization established in modern times by the military after they woke up from cold sleep, and is not an army sent by their home planet, Gaira.
08:44Emperor Gerdon was originally a second ship in the Gaira Planet Space Exploration Group, but
08:55After crash-landing on Earth, they assassinated the captain and spread false information that the ship would not be able to return to its home planet, thereby gaining control of the experiment and moving forward with their plans to conquer Earth.
09:08Dagger Gensui is the commander-in-chief of the Earth Attack Force, appearing aboard and commanding the flying fortress, Gelmos.
09:19While he used aggressive tactics, he was also meticulous, ostensibly pledging loyalty to Emperor Guerdon while plotting his assassination and becoming the next emperor.
09:33In episode 13, feeling responsible for numerous failures, he pilots an air raid robot and confronts Groizer X, but is defeated.
09:44Dogosu Gensui is officially recognized by Dagger Gensui, and has the technique of having the right half of his face covered in an iron mask and his left arm equipped with weapons such as a disintegrating ray.
09:59He had a cruel and despicable personality, and was so ruthless that he would make death the punishment for failure.
10:08Chief of Science Goren is in charge of designing and building airstrike robots and developing various weapons.
10:20Although he had the same rank as Gensui, he was characterized by his perfectionist personality, and even had a say in the planning of operations.
10:30Dr. Yang is the greatest scientist on Planet Gairo, as well as Rita's father and the creator of Groizer X.
10:42He opposed King Gerdon's invasion of Earth, created Groizer X, and tried to escape with Rita, but was discovered, so he let Rita escape alone and was shot and imprisoned.
10:56Later, the Empire forces them to manufacture multi-temperature engines to strengthen their airstrike robots.
11:06The Gelmos was originally the mother ship of a space exploration group, developed by Dr. Yang, and after the founding of the Empire, it came to be used as an aerial fortress.
11:17Airstrike robots are combat weapons manufactured by the Director General of the United Federation of Sciences and are piloted by Imperial Commanders known as Captains.
11:30It seems that the specifications of air raid robots are determined depending on the operation, with some having both flight mode and battle mode, and others only one of them.
11:42Now, finally, it's the final episode.
11:49The final episode will be a continuation from the previous episode, episode 35.
11:55The Gaira Empire finally prepares and issues a plan for an all-out attack on Japan.
12:02However, within the Gailler Empire, a group was secretly operating that opposed the conquest of Earth and sought a peaceful solution, and they were planning to use this all-out attack as an opportunity to launch a rebellion.
12:17Suddenly, Dogosugensu and the air raid robots arrive on Akane Island and launch an attack, so they counterattack with Groizer X and defeat them.
12:30At that time, Kant, who was part of the enemy attack force but had once been Dr. Yang's assistant, was seriously injured but informed them that Dr. Yang was still alive.
12:44After handing over the letter entrusted to him by the doctor to Rita, he reveals the exact location of the secret full-body base and passes away.
12:54The letter warned of a pacifist rebellion and the impending execution of the Kuroshiomaru's crew.
13:08After receiving this information, Joe and Rita immediately head to the secret base in the Groizer X.
13:15As Groizer X approaches the base, Dogos Gensui counterattacks with an airstrike robot, luring Groizer X into the mouth of the base's river, where a fierce battle ensues.
13:28Once inside the base, Groizer X discovers the crew of Kuroshiomaru, and while helping them escape in a submarine prepared by pacifists within the Gaira Empire, it also sets off a dimensional flying torpedo and leaves the base.
13:48After a while, the Flying Torpedo exploded, and Dogos Gensui met its end with the collapse of the base.
13:58Upon learning of the base's explosion, Emperor Gerdon finally boards the airstrike robot, Gaira V, and together with Goren, challenges Groizer X in a final battle.
14:12The Groizer X sets out, but its weapons are completely ineffective against the Gaira V, and it is hit by a Freezer Beam, causing it to crash into the sea.
14:23Meanwhile, at the Gaira Empire base, Dr. Yang and the pacifists had started a rebellion and succeeded in taking over the base.
14:34Upon learning of the rebellion, Emperor Gerdon rushes to his base, but Groizer X, having regained its functionality underwater, pursues Emperor Gerdon.
14:47After that, Emperor Gerdon returns to the base and engages in a fierce battle with the pacifists led by Dr. Yang.
15:00However, as they are at a disadvantage against the attacks of Gaira V, the strongest air raid robot, Dr. Yang shows Groizer X, who has rushed to the scene, the entrance to the base.
15:12Groizer X transforms into a robot form and fights Gailer V, but as expected, its weapons are ineffective and it is attacked one-sidedly.
15:25However, Groizer X threw back the weapon his opponent had fired and counterattacked, delivering a Groizer Kick that finished him off.
15:35Finally, Groizer X defeats his nemesis, Emperor Gerdon, and reunites with Dr. Yang and the others. Rita rejoices at being reunited with her father, and the castle and the pacifists celebrate the arrival of peace.
15:51Afterwards, contact with Gaira is successful, and a spaceship from Gaira arrives at Akane Island to pick up Rita and the others.
16:02Then, as Rita, Dr. Yang and the others are having a party to celebrate their return to Planet Gaira, Dr. Yang announces with gratitude that Groizer X will be donated to Earth as a symbol of peace.
16:21On the day of departure, with people in tears bidding farewell, the spaceship from Planet Gaira leaves Akane Island and heads off into space.
16:30At that moment, Shiro sends out Groizer X, approaches the spaceship, and smiles as he sees Rita off, and the show ends.
16:45Now, let's take a look at Groizer X in action.
17:00Groizer X's exploits
17:30Groizer X's exploits
18:00We will not forgive you Gaira Alien, you wielder of demonic powers, you air raid robots, you will be annihilated.
18:12As long as Groizer X's efforts continue for the sake of the fertile land and the love of the dreaming maiden.
18:30Now is the time to burn the streets, rush, rush, hammer punch, go go, groizer!
18:42Groizer X
18:46Groizer X
18:49Groizer X
18:56Except for the final part, Groizer X transformed into its robot form about once every two or three episodes, which made me wonder if this was really a robot anime.
19:10What did you all think?
19:14Well, that's all for now. See you next time. Bye.
