00:00Hello. Thank you for watching today.
00:16Today's topic is Fighbird, the hero of the sun.
00:20In this film, Fighter Fighter of the Sun, Fighbird, a life form from outer space possesses a mecha on Earth and uses combined robots and rescue mecha to protect people from powerful enemies and fight.
00:38Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:42Fighter of the Sun Fighbird was produced by Sunrise and aired for a total of 48 episodes between 1991 and 1992.
00:56The story begins with Dr. Amano injecting energy into a rescue android, also known as Katori Yuutaro, which he has been secretly researching and developing for many years, to activate it.
01:12However, contrary to the equipment, high-voltage electricity caused a fire and Detective Sata rushed to the scene and forced his way into the laboratory, but after an investigation revealed nothing, they decided to leave for the day.
01:28Suddenly, lightning strikes and the android, which had been completely motionless, begins to move.
01:36Later, while Dr. Amano is working to complete the android, Katori Yuutaro, a mechanical gun created by the evil scientist, Dr. Django, appears, so Katori Yuutaro and Kenta head to the scene in their Fire Jet.
01:54At the scene, the mecha guns were destroying the city and causing fires, so firefighting efforts were quickly underway. Meanwhile, Fire Jet, which does not have the ability to transform, somehow transformed into a robot form called Fighbird.
02:12Then, when Katori Yuutaro is absorbed into Fighbird's chest and they combine, a battle with the rampaging mecha gun begins.
02:23In fact, what seemed to be a lightning strike was actually a life form that had come from outer space, and by representing this life form as an android or a fire jet stored in the laboratory, it had become a living mecha.
02:38In the midst of the fierce battle, Fighbird's flaming sword, the Frame Sword, explodes, cutting the mecha gun in half and achieving victory.
02:48Kenta is overjoyed at this unexpected victory, but Dr. Amano, who has no idea what is going on, is confused and holds his head in his hands.
02:58After this, the objectives and true identities of the mysterious life form and its enemy, Dryas, gradually become clear, and the battle becomes more intense.
03:12Now, let me introduce the characters.
03:16Katori Yutaro was developed as a rescue humanoid android, but is voiced and operated by the Space Guard's commander, Fighbird.
03:30Its appearance is no different from a human's, as it is covered in super silicone artificial skin; however, when it combines with Fiberd, the artificial skin disappears temporarily, but is restored after the combination is released.
03:46In addition, to disguise himself as a human, he uses artificial blood, Amano X-28, and usually works as an assistant to Dr. Amano.
03:58Amano Kenta is the younger brother of Dr. Amano's grandson, Ken Yutaro, and he dispatches himself to crime scenes together with Yutaro.
04:07In addition, they fought against enemy fighters, the Decitaa, using communication devices, Lister, which can also transform into a humanoid robot, and Frameshot.
04:19Amano Haruka is Kenta's cousin and classmate, and lives with his grandfather, Dr. Amano, as his parents live in Germany.
04:31He admires Yutaro and is a reliable livestock owner. He is in charge of all household chores at the professor's house, but his grandfather keeps making strange inventions, which is a source of worry for him as the family finances are in dire straits.
04:49Dr. Amano develops numerous rescue machines, but many of them fail, making him a laughing stock in the academic community.
04:57To raise funds for his research, he had sold ancestral land, but had not paid inheritance tax, which made the tax office nervous.
05:09In addition, he develops various inventions to raise working capital, but they don't seem to be working very well.
05:17Yoshiko Kunieda is a female doctor working at a hospital. When she donates blood, she has doubts about Yutaro's blood, but later finds out that he is a Fiberd and becomes a researcher at the Amano Institute of Peace Science.
05:34During the final battle with Dryas, he discovered an important fact that would determine the outcome of the battle.
05:40Detective Sadatada is a detective with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigative Division. He has doubts about the enormous amount of research funds used by Dr. Amano, and suspects that he may be the culprit behind a 3 billion yen robbery that occurred three years ago.
05:58Towards the end of the story, those suspicions were cleared up, and instead he began to cooperate with the Space Guard, which was supported by Dr. Amano.
06:10Momoko Yamazaki is a reporter for Tozai TV who regularly reports on battles, but after being saved by Fighbird, she has become an ardent fan, calling him "Mr. Fighbird."
06:22Professor Hillman is one of the few friends who understands Dr. Amano, and is a scientist with a proven track record, having developed an atmospheric element purification device.
06:36In the final battle, they pioneered the application of the atmospheric element purification device to a new cathartic method.
06:43Dr. Django was once a promising scientist, but he became obsessed with fame and was found to have stolen Dr. Amano's research, leading to his expulsion from the academic community.
06:57Later, he develops an editorial personality and becomes a mad scientist, swearing revenge on the world that had humiliated him, and joining forces with Dryas to destroy the Earth.
07:11In fact, the culprit behind the 3 billion yen robbery that Detective Sata is investigating is Dr. Django, who has been using the funds to manufacture mecha guns and build an underwater base.
07:24The Space Guard pursues the Dryas army and comes to Earth, where they possess the following mecha and fight the Dryas army.
07:37Fighbird, possessed by an android, appears on the Fire Jet, and after transforming into a robot form during battle, Yutaro is stored in its chest.
07:49It can also summon the support fighter Flame Breaster and combine with it to transform into the powered-up Armed Combined Fighbird.
08:00His main weapons include the Flame Sword and Flame Cannon, and his special move is the Flame Sword Charge Up, which gathers solar energy into the Flame Sword and charges while surrounded by the aura of a firebird.
08:15The Fire Shuttle is a space plane designed for rescue missions outside the atmosphere, and transforms into a Grandbird when manned.
08:28It can also summon the support fighter Breaster Jet and combine with it to transform into the powered-up Jet Combined Grandbird.
08:39It is also equipped with a large cannon, the Grand Cannon, as its lethal weapon.
08:46Furthermore, the final form of the combination is the strongest combination, Great Fiberd, in which Fiberd becomes the horn and becomes one with the Fire Shuttle.
08:56He uses a greatsword and a flame sword as weapons, but when he charges up, he also demonstrates a special move in which he collects solar energy into the sword and charges while surrounded by a firebird-like aura.
09:11The Baron Team is a team of special-purpose mecha built by Dr. Amano, and the four mecha other than Ace Baron have no ego and simply follow Ace Baron's orders.
09:24Ace Baron is the oldest member of the Space Guard and transforms from a rescue tank.
09:33He was trusted by his colleagues as an older brother and a good person to talk to.
09:41The other four are Drill Baron, which transforms from a drill tank.
09:46The Road Baron transforms from a trailer and transports refugees and others safely and quickly.
09:57Aquabaron, which transforms from a submarine and is used for underwater work.
10:05Then there's Sky Baron, which transforms from a small jet plane and has high maneuverability.
10:11Additionally, the five Baron Team members combine to become Thunder Baron, who uses his immense power to fight Dryas.
10:22Its main weapon is a Thunder Cannon equipped on both shoulders, and its special move is Thunder Crash, in which it unleashes a high-voltage cannonball and slams into the enemy.
10:34The Guard Team is a team that transforms and combines with emergency vehicles such as police and fire departments.
10:41It is advantageous to arrive at the scene of an incident quickly.
10:47One of the team members is Detective Satsuda's patrol car, which transforms into Guard Star, the leader of the guard team.
10:56Guard Fire transforms from a fire truck and, while fighting a fire, gives advice to the firefighters, showing his passion.
11:05Guard Rescue is a vehicle that transforms from an ambulance and uses its extensive medical knowledge to provide patients with meticulous treatment and encouragement.
11:16Guard Wing, a comrade who came to Earth in response to a rescue request from Yutaro, was active.He is skilled in aerial combat by transforming from a jet helicopter, but as he is the youngest, his lack of experience is a drawback.
11:34Additionally, Guard Star, Guard Fire, and Guard Rescue can combine to form Guardions, which can take on more difficult missions and battles.
11:49Additionally, the Guardian and Guard Wing can combine to form the Super Guardian, making aerial combat possible.
11:56Opposing Fighbird and Kenta is the Space Emperor Dryas, an evil negative energy life form that comes from outer space.
12:09In order to evolve into a dark heart, he leads an organization bearing his name, enslaves Earthlings, and aims to dominate the Earth.
12:19Initially, orders were given from three hearts, Eagle, Tiger, and Ruyu, at Django's underwater base, but as the battle situation was not going well, he materialized these hearts, created Death Eagle, Death Tiger, and Death Dragon, and took command of the attacks himself, confronting Fighbird and his allies.
12:43Furthermore, towards the end of the story, these three mechas combine to become Dryas, a combined 30, and their huge size, power, and the speed of the Dryas jet cause trouble for Fighbird and his men.
13:00Shura and Zol are subordinates of Dryas, who are negative life forms possessed by androids. Shura excels at intellectual battles, while Zol boasts superhuman strength.
13:15However, due to their opposite personalities and Shura's sometimes condescending attitude towards Zol, it could not be said that they got along very well.
13:25Tesiter was a mass-produced combat android that operated under the command of Shura and Zol, and showed great ability to understand Jingo and faithfully carry out his orders.
13:40The Mecha Gun is a robotic weapon created by Dr. Django that can operate unmanned, but in the film, there are types that are operated by Shura and Zol individually, as well as types that are operated by both of them.
13:59The motif of the mecha guns has not been decided, but insects and sea creatures were often seen.
14:06Now, finally, it's the final episode.
14:13The final episode will be a continuation from the previous episode, episode 47.
14:20To become the Dark God, Dryas enslaves people and has Guianakoach complete the Devil's Tower.
14:28Also, once completed, the Devil's Tower will begin to emit a tremendous amount of negative energy.
14:37Therefore, Thunder Baron and Super Guardian head to Devil's Tower, but there they find Organic Dryas, who has been strengthened by the dark energy, waiting for them.
14:50Thunder Baron and Super Guardian use all of their weapons to fight Organic Dryas, but the difference in strength is clear, and they are captured after their energy is drained.
15:04Upon learning this, Yutaro heads alone to Devil's Tower with Fire Jet and Fire Shuttle to save the Earth and his friends.
15:16When they arrive, Shura and Zol's mechanical beasts appear, so they transform into Great Fiberd and fight, but they are hit with an abundance of negative energy and have a hard time against the enhanced mechanical beasts.
15:29Although it seemed that Great Fiberd had been defeated, the two mechanical beasts were combined by Dryas' dark energy, and Great Fiberd was quickly cornered.
15:44Then, the Catharsis Cannon, developed in the laboratory based on the melody Yoshiko deciphered - a melody that weakens negative energy - arrives.
15:55After arriving, they aimed at the Devil Tower and fired positive energy from the Catharsis Cannon, causing the power of the combined mecha beast to decrease while Great Fiberd's power increased.
16:10The revived Great Fiberd defeats the combined mecha beast with a single slash, then invades Devil's Tower and rescues the captured Thunder Baron and Super Guardian.
16:24Afterwards, the now free Thunder Baron and Super Guardian succeed in capturing Shura and Zol, who had escaped from the mecha beasts, as energy beings.
16:37Meanwhile, inside the Devil's Tower, that is, in the dark energy field, Dryas is invincible and overwhelms Great Fiberd, but at that moment, a second shot is fired from the Catharsis Cannon, which has now fully charged.
16:54Even so, the absolute dark god Dryas, showing his unchanging mighty power, engaged in a fierce battle with Great Fiberd, but after the third shot, the Catharsis Cannon was destroyed by Dryas.
17:11Seeing his successor, Great Fiberd's Yuutaro, as a last resort, transforms into the Firebird and rams into Dryas, finally destroying him, and the Devil's Tower collapses.
17:26After the collapse, Yutaro's androids, Great Fiberd, Thunder Baron, and Super Guardian, are discovered injured and battered, and Dr. Django is also arrested by Detective Satsuda.
17:43However, as Kenta cried out upon seeing the horrific scene, Yutaro, who had turned into an energy being, and his friends appeared and declared that their mission on Earth was complete. After expressing their gratitude to Kenta and the others, they returned to their home planet in a spaceship that had come to pick them up.
18:04The scene changes to Kenta and his friends working for the newly formed rescue team, but when they encounter a dangerous situation at a fire scene, Yutaro, who was supposed to have returned to his home planet, appears and the program ends with him working with Kenta and his friends again.
18:27Now, let's take a look at the Fiberd commercial that aired at the time.
18:34Fighbird!
18:37The Guardian joins forces with a new companion, Guard Waring!
18:42It's an invincible power-up!
18:45Combine the main body and Super Guardian appears!
18:48The five combine to become Thunder Baron!
18:50Fighbird!
18:52This ancient machine races across land and sea!
19:00The five combine to form Thunder Baron!
19:02Dryas also appears!
19:05Fiber!
19:10Enter the Sun's Hero, Fighbird!
19:16From Fire Jet to Robot!
19:18Combine with Brain Breaster!
19:27Armed Combination, Fighbird!
19:31Please also check out Breath Robo and Lister!
19:33Fiber!
19:35Jet Combination, Grandbird, and the Sun's Hero, Fighbird, are now combined into the strongest!
19:44Rise up! The strongest combination, Great Fighbird!
19:48What did you think?
19:53When it first aired, the name Fighbird was so bad that I thought Sunbird would be fine, since he's the hero of the sun.
20:02Also, I still don't understand what Fiberd means.
20:06What do you all think?
20:09Well, that's all for this time.
20:13See you again.
20:15Goodbye.
20:16See you again.
