00:00Hello. Thank you for watching today.
00:17Today's topic is Ironworks Mikazuki.
00:21In this film, Tekkouki Mikazuki, a boy becomes introverted after his archaeologist father goes missing while investigating ruins. He then controls a mysterious giant robot and fights monsters and mysterious organizations that attack Japan.
00:41Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:44Tekkouki Mikazuki is based on an original work by Amamiya Keita, who also wrote Daro, and a total of six episodes were aired between 2000 and 2001.
00:58The story begins in the 21st century, with Isurugi Tetsuro and his colleagues from the Ancient Civilization Research Institute Zone investigating ancient ruins discovered in Central Asia.
01:11One of the team members investigating the cave ruins sensed danger and called out, and the moment he did so, an attack by rebels suddenly began from the direction of the ruins. As the team members were attacked one after another, several people, including Kusaka Yukiko, managed to escape from the ruins.
01:30Five years after the accident, several Zone members, including Isurugi Tetsuro, are still missing. After Isurugi Tetsuro went missing, Isurugi's son, Kazeo, withdrew into his shell and was bullied at school.
01:49One day, a giant floating watermelon suddenly appears in Tokyo, and the bullies forcefully take Kazeo to Tokyo to see it.
02:00Meanwhile, in the chaotic city of Tokyo, while the defense forces are fighting monsters that have emerged from watermelon seeds, the giant robots Gekkouki and Unit-01 begin fighting the floating watermelons.
02:17In the midst of all this, Kazeo escapes from the bullies and acts alone, but he gets caught up in a fight and his life is in danger.
02:26Luckily, he is saved by the Gekkouki and steams into the Gekkouki's cockpit, but after being attacked, Kazeo becomes frightened and activates the emergency escape device.
02:40However, even after leaving the cockpit and making an emergency escape, Kazeo continues to be attacked by the giant watermelon, and is thrown into the air.
02:51As he falls, Kazeo prepares himself for death, but at that moment, a giant robot arm appears from Tokyo Bay and rescues him.
03:02Afterwards, a monster transformed from a watermelon attacks, but the robot protects Kazeo and shows a fighting stance, and the monster disappears.
03:12After this, Kazeo is guided by the intermittent return of his father's memories and a mysterious voice, and appears in the giant robot, Mikazuki, to fight monsters and mysterious organizations.
03:28Now, let me introduce the characters.
03:32Isurugi Kazeo is the main character of this work. After his father goes missing, he unconsciously makes Mikazuki's arm out of clay, thereby feeling his presence. After Mikazuki appears, he shouts "Mikazuki" and is enveloped in light, which takes him straight to Mikazuki's cockpit.
03:54From the cockpit, by uttering strong words or words of power such as "Fight!", you will be able to control Mikazuki as he pleases with his stomach.
04:07Hino Akane has followed in her father's footsteps and is the third-generation high school girl president and pilot who runs Akebo Heavy Industries.
04:16Since the livelihoods of his employees depended on it, he personally visited Eight and other places to promote the Gekkou period.
04:25He is a Belan Make-up expert and doesn't seem to care much about small details.
04:33Ninomiya Yuki is a classmate of Akane's at school, and before she knew it, she had been possessed by Shinkan Shark and had become the pilot of Shingetsu.
04:43At first, she had no memory of Shingetsu's past as an outsider, but after joining the Eight, she began to pilot Shingetsu and fight of her own volition.
04:55Although she had a quiet personality, she was also a strong-willed and responsible girl.
05:03Isurugi Tetsuro is Kazeo's father, a genius archaeologist, and a former captain of the Zone.
05:11He discovers Uterus, a being that materializes human thoughts, in ruins, but after making a sound he is absorbed into Uterus and finds himself in the non-material world, or the astral world, a world where only spirits exist.
05:28Tomako Isurugi is Kazeo's mother and a former member of the Zone, but she returned to Japan to give birth to Kazeo.
05:38At first, he was against Kazeo having a relationship with Mikazuki and Eight, but he agreed after being persuaded by Kazeo and his former colleague Kusaka.
05:50Yukiko Kusaka is a former member of the Zone and serves as the commander of Eight, a unit formed to eliminate Idom.
06:01He also used a cane to walk due to a leg injury he sustained at the ruins.
06:10Kibaisamu is the commander of a mobile unit that wears special combat protective gear for Idom, a tactical suit, and fights monsters in the fighter plane Eight Gyro.
06:24He's usually a nice guy, so Akane seems to have a crush on him too.
06:28Kunio Doihara is the head of the operations room and also fights as a member of the mobile force.
06:36His work attitude was not very good, and he would secretly drink alcohol while on the job.
06:43He still has feelings for his ex-wife, and when he lies, for some reason he speaks in Kansai dialect.
06:50Masato Kinjo is a member of the mobile unit, but because he is a monster otaku, he is fascinated by the enemy Idom weapons,
06:56He is also an eccentric person who is hostile towards Mikazuki.
07:01Additionally, he is a fan of Gekkouki and Akane, and it is believed that he has feelings for Akane.
07:07Izumi Saori is the head of the communications department and also a member of the mobile task force, and in the final battle she also fought against Yuki, who was being controlled by Torpa.
07:19Now, let me introduce the robots and mecha that appear in this work.
07:29Mikazuki Zero is made up of a substance called Somnium, and is activated by Kazeo's words.
07:36There is no machinery inside the colossus, and it is a mystery as to how it functions.
07:45There are no weapons or offensive equipment, and physical attacks are carried out using punches, kicks, etc.
07:51It is usually stored in a stopped state at the base, but if Kazeo's life is in danger, it will immediately use its spatial teleportation ability to move to the scene.
08:04Additionally, any damage sustained in battle can be reconstructed using its self-repairing ability.
08:11Initially, Mikazuki was unable to fly, but on the third night, it evolved into its second form, Mikazuki-gai, with a rocket appearing on its back and its body color changing to silver.
08:25Mikazuki's specifications are: height: 60m, weight: approximately 35,000 tons, and flight speed: Mach 3.
08:35Shingetsu is a giant who is the successor to Mikazuki, and when he first appeared, he appeared in the appearance of Mikazuki Zero.
08:47It was temporarily stored at Eight's base along with Mikazuki, but after being taken over by Ninomiya Yuki, who was possessed by the new ship Shark, it began to run wild and destroy the city.
09:01Afterwards, he absorbed Mikazuki, fused with him, and became the Antipode, and unleashed countless lightning bolts towards the ground, destroying the city and Eight headquarters while attempting to reset the present world.
09:17However, when Mikazuki separates from his Opposite Pole form, Shingetsu transforms into his Shingetsu Beast form and continues to battle Mikazuki and Eight using electricity and spinning horses.
09:33The Gekkouki is a robotic weapon created by Akebo's Gunmuzzle, and looks like a toy tin robot.
09:45Although they are equipped with fairly powerful weapons, they generally have many drawbacks, and up until Unit 4, they were merely used as a means to buy time.
09:55In the story, each robot must pass a performance test conducted by Eight, and with each new model developed, its weapons become more powerful and its movements more agile. The final robot, Unit 5, is a high-performance robot with folding wings and even the ability to fly.
10:17In the final battle with the New Moon Beast, five Moonlight Machines fought alongside Mikazuki.
10:25Tetsujinki Spartacus TC is a robot developed by Sigmaroid Corporation, and was adopted by Eight after giving up on the Gekkouki, which was too weak.
10:38However, being unmanned and controlled by an external controller was a weakness, and Torpa's scheme caused it to go out of control, firing a large missile from its chest, which almost caused a major disaster, but a combined operation by Mikazuki and Shingetsu destroyed both the missile and the main body.
10:58Gaira, the Torpa nation that is Eight's enemy, is a country that flourished in ancient times thanks to the technology of materializing or turning words and thoughts into reality, and both the crescent moon and the new moon were originally giant humanoid weapons created by Gaira.
11:19Torpa was the king of the country of Gaira, and after being resurrected from the ruins, he plotted to destroy the material world and restore his kingdom.
11:32During the excavation of the ruins, he kills Yusa Wataru, a member of the Zone and Kusakabe's fiance, and then takes over his body.
11:41Also, upon his resurrection, he was supposed to use the crescent moon and new moon to conquer the Earth, but his plans were thwarted by the betrayal of the new man, Shark.
11:56The new man, Zame, was a subordinate of Torpa in the country of Gaira, but after betraying Torpa, he possesses Ninomiya Yuki, obtains Mikazuki and Shingetsu, and plots to take over the world.
12:09Unatical is a fairy who lives in the astral world and haunts the vicinity of Kazeo, who has become the pilot of Mikazuki, but in reality, he possesses the power of his brother and watches over Kazeo.
12:27An Idom is a giant creature or monster that is born after the fruit of manhood implanted in a human ripens and bursts open.
12:36Their form and abilities change depending on the trauma and memories of their host.
12:46For example, the floating watermelon in the first night was inspired by Isurugi Tetsuro and Kazeo's memories of a summer day.
12:55Now, finally, it's the final episode.
13:02The final episode will be a sequel to the previous episode, episode 5.
13:07After destroying the Spartacus TC and returning to base, Kazeo is attacked by Yuki, who has been possessed by the priest Shark.
13:17However, Torpa appears and, using his powerful magic, freely controls the traitor, Zame, and the possessed Yuki, and after making them send Kamitsuki, who is stored in Eight, to the town, Torpa disappears.
13:34Meanwhile, Kazeo immediately calls Mikazuki and chases after Kamitsuki, but Kamitsuki is rampaging around town, committing acts of destruction.
13:48Seeing this, Kazeo tells Yuki to stop, but Yuki doesn't respond and instead attacks him.
13:56With no choice, Kazeo fights back, but suddenly Kamitsuki extends the protrusion on his chest and pierces the crescent moon crest on Mikazuki's chest, then slowly pulls it in, emitting light as he becomes one with Mikazuki and becomes the opposite pole.
14:16After they became one, the moon was also covered in luminous light, and Kazeo and Yuki were ejected from the opposite poles.
14:26However, upon reaching the surface, Kazeo's sphere transforms into a strange House Idom, while Yuki is drawn to Torpa and continues to be controlled by him.
14:41In such a situation, when the antipole began to become active, the moon began to approach the Earth.
14:48At the same time, Torpa, along with Yuki and Tsukikage, was fighting against the task force that Kiba had drawn in, but Torpa's goal was to reset the Earth through a large-scale attack from the Antipode, in other words, to wipe out human society and revive the country of Gaira.
15:10As the situation worsens, Kazeo is locked up in House Idom and sees a scene of his childhood self and his father together.
15:21As Kazeo wonders what is going on, his father's soul in the astral world appears before him and tells him to come and see his true self someday, before disappearing.
15:35At that moment, Kazeo escapes from the exploding House Idom and calls out to Mikazuki, causing the opposite poles to separate into Crescent Moon and New Moon.
15:45Torpa, amazed at the sight of his successor, attempts to finish off the dying task force, but with the resurrection of Shingetsu, the new ship Zame breaks free from the possessed Yuki and stabs Torpa in the chest with its sword, killing him, before disappearing.
16:05The task force is surprised by Torpa's unexpected end, but the battle is not over yet, as Mikazuki and Shingetsu continue to fight as one.
16:19Then, after suddenly emitting a glow, the new moon evolves into a new moon beast, gaining the upper hand in the battle.
16:27However, five Gekko machines and an 8-circumference robot piloted by Akane, Yuki, and members of the mobile task force rush to the scene to help, and together with Mikazuki, they fight the New Moon Beast with a barrage of beams.
16:46Even so, Mikazuki's right arm is torn off due to the overwhelming power of the New Moon Beast, but the shouts of everyone, including Kaze, become a sword of words that pierces the New Moon Beast.
17:05Then, Mikazuki delivers a punch with all his might, sending the New Moon Beast flying towards the moon and disappearing.
17:16The scene changes, and when Kaze returns from the crescent moon to the ground, he finds his friends waiting for him, with smiles of victory on their faces.
17:28Kaze is also happy to be reunited with his mother, but then a fairy named Unatical appears before him and disappears in front of the crescent moon, and the crescent moon slowly disappears along with the illusion of his father.
17:41Mikazuki and Kaze are sad to be separated from their father, but the show ends with them promising their mother that one day they will go to the world where their father is and bring him back.
17:57Now, let's take a look at Mikazuki's performance.
