(#MechaMarch2023) Future Robot Daltanious

The History of Daltanious I swear that everything will always be connected to my Sakuracon 2022 visit in some way. Daltanious was a series that I was interested in watching when I heard about it from the 1970’s anime panel that I went to. That was a day that I was severely on a budget, so I only came home with this Blu-Ray disc that has 47 episodes on one disc. Something that I was pretty…

Yuki Hijiri sensei Died.

I found out about it just now>The  author of “Locke the Superman”,Yiki Hijiri sensei (超人ロック, Chōjin Rokku),passed away  from pneumonia on 30 October 2022, but it has just been announced today. He was 72.

Photo below:

Alongside Locke the Superman, he also had affiliated with Tadao Nagahama, being the character designer for all three Nagahama Robot Romance Trilogy entries (Combattler V, Voltes V, Daimos) as well as Daltanious.

Family name (in kanji): 聖

Given name (in kanji): 悠紀 Date of birth: 1949-12-21

His long running ,complicate manga series “Locke the Superman”  is something quite hard to have a match series.

Premise

“A quiet, charismatic, lonely and Mysterious immortal esper called "Locke the Superman",but often denies being so.His hair in natural green. It’s unknown where or when he was born, and if asked, Locke will say he does not remember. It is entirely possible this is true. The military seeks him to deal with,where a woman is ordering an army of psychics against him.

When he asked by Cornelia Prim in "Millennium of the Witch" which star Locke was from, he replied "Toa." However, it was just the name of the planet where he lived in before.

He has appeared at various times throughout the history of the galaxy, either as a direct influence, an indirect influence, or a simple observer”.*1

Fellas,examine thoughly his glare and his mouth.He’s Serious,Smart and Determined! Sensei Hijiri had put Great effort to make this manga!

*1:Using his esper abilities, Locke can learn and do most things more quickly than a normal human. His power also allows him to remain eternally young, or even turn himself into a child again to be adopted by kind-hearted families. This is called "waka-gaeri". It could be said it keeps him young at heart. It is speculated he retains a youthful appearance as an excuse not to take responsibility for whatever cause he is approached for, since no one expects youths to have such responsibilities. Locke is capable of teleportation over a range of distances, including light-years, telekinesis, rapidly healing himself and others, telepathy in the short and long range, and creating barriers and "spears" of energy.

My say about this:

I had watched,as a teenager,an anime based on the manga.I guess I was stunned by the intricate story and the whole way of such science fiction.All this is manga of 101 tankobon!! Rest in Peace sensei. Likely you didn’t finish it off,however you’re leaving from us having your head Up and Clear,Prideful:)

An Abbreviated History of Mecha Addendum 1: Assemble the Forces!

Welcome to the first addendum to An Abbreviated History of Mecha! Today, we'll be looking at some of the media that came out in the 70's and before. A lot of the shows covered here are ones that were fairly big in their own right, especially when compared to the juggernauts of the era like Ultraman, Mazinger Z, and Getter Robo. What should also not surprise anyone with a lot of the shows listed here is that a bunch of the shows listed here have one Go Nagai and Dynamic Planning attached to them in some manner.

Because of course he is.

And I should note: unlike in An Abbreviated History of Mecha proper, the addendums will not be listing these entries in chronological order. This primarily because a) I need to get back into the groove of writing one-off posts (especially after The Devil That is Capitalism), and b) there are a lot of things that slipped out of the cracks, and I treasure my sanity.

Anyways, let's get down to brass tacks.

Daiku Maryu Gaiking (1976) and Gaiking: The Legend of Daiku Maryu (2005)

Daiku Maryu Gaiking (or Dino Mech Gaiking) is a 1976 giant robot series known for having plots take place in real world locations outside of Japan and also for featuring the first ever use of a carrier ship for the titular giant robot Gaiking. Gaiking is also somewhat infamous due to Toei trying their absolute hardest not to pay Go Nagai since he and Dynamic Planning created the series.

Toei would revisit Gaiking in 2005 with the release of Gaiking: the Legend of Daiku Maryu, which would feature a largely unchanged Gaiking and Daiku Maryu but feature a completely different main character.

Kotetsu Jeeg/Steel Jeeg (1975) and Kotetsushin Jeeg (2007)

Created by Go Nagai immediately following the success of Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger, Kotetsu Jeeg alongside its sibling series UFO Robot Grendizer would help to cement Nagai's legacy as one of the big mecha creators in the canon. Kotetsu Jeeg would receive a sequel in 2007, Kotetsushin Jeeg. The sequel was directed by Jun Kawagoe of Getter Robo Armageddon and Mazinkaiser SKL fame and features JAM Project performing the OP Stormbringer.

In other words, Kotetsu Jeeg beat Mazinger Z to the punch with the distant sequel. Or I guess you could say it beat Mazinger Z to the rocket punch?

Eh? Get it? No? Okay...

Planetary Robot Danguard Ace (1977)

Danguard Ace is one of the many mecha shows that came out in the wake of giants like Mazinger Z and Getter Robo. This series is noteworthy for being Leiji Matsumoto's first and only foray into the giant robot genre of mecha.

And hey, guess who's currently the owner of the Danguard Ace property?

It's Go Nagai and Dynamic Planning.

Abassador Magma (1965)

Ambassador Magma is a manga series created by Osamu Tezuka. It would also receive a tokusatsu series shortly after, with one of its big accomplishments being that it would be the first tokusatsu series aired in color. Specifically, it would beat honorary mecha show Ultraman to the punch by about six days.

Invincible Robot Trider G7 (1980)

Something to always keep in mind with the history of mecha is that Mobile Suit Gundam was not initially a hit. Invincible Robot Trider G7 serves as a good reminder of this, as it was an anime series produced by Sotsu (as in the very same Sotsu that also produced the original Gundam alongside Sunrise). Airing at around the same time as Space Runaway Ideon, Trider G7 would mark the beginning of giant robots being used in the deep recesses of space alongside Ideon.

Future Robot Daltanious (1979)

I couldn't find a good gif for Daltanious without watching the series myself, so we'll have to make do with this promotional image instead.

Future Robot Daltanious is a 1979 anime series that had Tadao Nagahama as its original director for its first couple of episodes before he left to direct the seminal Shoujo series The Rose of Versailles (a series that really should be treated as an honorary mecha series due to its influence on anime and manga as a whole). Even though he only worked on the series for about thirteen episodes and passed away before he could come back to work on it, Daltanious is still treated as one of his shows alongside Combattler V, Voltes V, and Daimos.

Daltanious is also an important series for those familiar with the Brave franchise, as Daltanious is the design inspiration for both Exkaiser and GaoGaiGar.

Super Robot Red Baron (1973) and Super Robot Mach Baron (1974)

Super Robot Red Baron would come onto the scene in 1973 as the giant robot tokusatsu shows would wane in abundance due to their expensive natures. Red Baron, and later its sequel series Mach Baron, would serve as a sort of swan song as it would also have to compete with one Mazinger Z for the hearts of children all across Japan. Giant robot tokusatsu wouldn't go away altogether though, and we'd see this with the next and arguably one of the weirdest entries both here and in the canon of comic book history.

Toei Spider-Man (1978)

In cooperation with Marvel Comics (yes really), Toei would put out their own version of Spider-Man towards the end of the 70's. Note that this is specifically in a post-Kamen Rider/Super Sentai world, so Spider-Man in this series is less "quippy teenager living up to his uncles words about great power and great responsibility" and more "the warrior of hell fighting aliens" (although, I'm pretty sure either Peter Parker or Miles Morales have fought the forces of hell at this point).

Also Spider-Man in the Toei series pilots a giant robot named Leopardon to fight giant alien monsters. This may be funny, but Leopardon is important because it is what inspires Super Sentai to include giant robots in all of their future shows.

Also, to the folks at Marvel. Sony and the production crew behind the Spiderverse films: when are we going to get Toei Spider-Man in the Spiderverse films?

Jumbo Machinder/Shogun Warriors

Image source: Shogun Warriors unofficial website

Finally, to round out today's post, how could I not mention the Jumbo Machinder line of toys. All jumbo machinder was was a line of toys based off of popular giant robot shows like Mazinger Z, Gettero Robo G, Brave Raideen, Gaiking, and many more (also Godzilla and Rodan had their own machinder toys). The toys all came with spring-loaded projectiles and were immensely popular with kids back in the day.

Mattel would eventually get the distribution rights to these toys, bringing them over to the US as the Shogun Warriors. Mattel would also ask Marvel Comics to write a comic series for the Shogun Warriors that would explain why all of these largely unrelated giant robots were working together.

Thank you for reading this addendum to An Abbreviated History of Mecha. Normally, I'd do a conclusion section, but I feel like I'd have to follow up with another Addendum post.

[mazinwraith]

Series that could have some minor connections with Pacific Rim if they ever add it to Super Robot Wars.

Probably wonder what I mean by minor. Well, I mean things like more exclusive dialogue moments in the story between them. They won’t have the huge story canon weld moments. Instead they’ll just have more interactions between each other. Like how Great Mazinger, G Gundam, and Martian Successor Nadesico had a lot of dialogue moments with Gun X Sword in T. Or how ZZ Gundam had some with Shin Mazinger Z in SRWV.

Honestly, this is just for regular Pacific Rim. Pacific Rim The Black would probably get Future Robot Daltanious and Gundam X for series that would be connected with it in any form.

When your Grandpa always asks you to look up stuff on Google cause he doesn't get all that newfangled machine stuff.

[jacobfredburt]

Mecha Anime in a Nutshell:

Tetsujin 28/Gigantor: predicted the joystick controller

Mazinger Z: Teenager gets a giant robot that can curbstomp the entire world’s military from his grandfather in his will. The master mold for every super robot anime since 1973

Getter Robo: it looks like a super robot anime, it’s actually a cosmic horror story.

Great Mazinger: teenager discovers that his father faked his death so he could adopt two other teenagers and build a giant robot that can punch Hades in the face.

UFO Robo Grendizer: the aforementioned teenager teams up with an alien to defend the earth against the prince’s ex-fiancé’s family.

Mirai Robo Daltanious: a terminal idiot and his future brother-in-law fight back against an alien occupation with the guidance of Space Moses. Could have been Voltron and maybe it should have.

Beast King GoLion: high fantasy story with sci fi setting and reverse harem side story that doesn’t resolve.

Armored Fleet Dairugger IV: Star Trek as a Super Robot Anime.

Steel Jeeg: stock car driver dressed as Elvis battles an ancient civilization for control of the Earth

Voltron Defender of the Universe: two super robot anime standing on each other’s shoulders and wearing a trench coat.

Lightspeed Electroid Albegas: "I can’t Believe it’s not Getter Robo!"

Zettai Muteki Raijin-Oh: who’s idea was it to let elementary school students pilot a giant robot?

Jushin Liger: made by the same guy as Mazinger Z, overshadowed by wrestler who modeled himself after it.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: lots of existentialism, lots of teen angst and psychological problems.

King of the Braves: Gaogaigar: literally the opposite of Evangelion.

Bokurano: like Evangelion only depressing.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: "we only had enough budget for one Getter, so we picked Getter 2."

The Big O: Batman with giant robots and tomatoes.

Darling in the Franxx: like Evangelion only horny.

Daltanious, The Voltron That Should Have Been

BW introduces you to the OTHER lion robot intended to be Voltron, Daltanious!

No, there isn’t some YouTube meme about turning every 70s giant robot from Japan into Voltron (that I’m aware of). However, there are two shows that were intended to become a Voltron but for different reasons did not. Last time we looked at Albegas, the intended second Voltron, but there is one more forgotten chapter of the legend…

Because I need a better post for this

A barebones review of what went on with turning Golion and Dairugger into Voltron

A brief history (animated series)

Toei created the original Beast King Golion and Armored Fleet Dairugger XV series in 1981 and 1982 respectively

They also created Future Robot Daltanious and Lightspeed Electroid Albegas (these two are not officially part of Voltron anymore) which were going to be part of the Voltron line but were ultimately dropped

All four series named above are not related in canon at all, they were simply made by the same company with largely the same staff and designers

World Events Productions wanted to adapt multiple series to create a single series to surpass a 65 episode count threshold to air on syndication

A typical Japanese season is 52 episodes, the solution was to simply patch together similar looking shows into one to pass that count

Comparable contemporaries: Robotech (Macross, Southern Cross, Mospaeda) and, to an extent (toy-wise), Transformers* (Diaclone, Microman)

Golion was sent in by mistake presumably in place of the original request for Daltanious

Golion, Dairugger, and Albegas were sold as Voltron toys however only the first two were adapted into the Voltron cartoon

Golion would be the first 52 episodes of Defender of the Universe with Dairugger being adapted as the next 52 with the two separate series being called Lion Force and Vehicle Team respectively

The portion adapted from Dairugger suffered from low ratings due to being aired on the weekends (a lot of episodes weren’t aired in order) and the different tone and cast

As a result, plans to adapt Albegas as the third season was scrapped in favour of commissioning 20 extra episodes specifically for Voltron (never airing in Japan) that used the Lion Force characters

Most (not all) of the rights to both Golion and Dairugger were sold to World Events Productions in the 80s

It was only until WEP made Third Dimension in the late 90s without Toei’s involvement that there was a legal battle between the two that was settled with complete rights that were once owned by Toei being sold to WEP

As a result, Third Dimension, Force, and Legendary Defender do not have any official release (sub or dub) in Japan

(edit 2017 June 4) There is an official Japanese dub of VLD, however it’s only available on North American Netflix, and thus is still not officially released in Japan

(edit 2017 July 5) Legendary Defender is the first Voltron that has legally broadcast in Japan after more than a year since its initial debut and 35 years since the original Golion finished airing in Japan

Because of that, a live action movie that was in development since 2007 has been on hiatus due to legal issues concerning ownership of the franchise 

Just to clear things up

Names from the original Golion characters to their Defender of the Universe counterpart (in the given name, “nickname,” surname order)

Akira “Chief” Kogane → Keith

Princess Fala → Princess Allura

Isamu “Moody” Kurogane → Lance

Takashi “Quiet” Shirogane and Ryou Shirogane → Sven (lol)

Tsuyoshi “Hothead” Seidou → Hunk

Hiroshi “Shorty” Suzuishi → Pidge

The names Keith “Akira” Kogane, Lance McClain, and Tsuyoshi “Hunk” Garrett were only introduced to Voltron through the Devil’s Due comics in the early 2000s (there were no official surnames in the Defender of the Universe adaption or Third Dimension)

Takashi “Shiro” Shirogane is the only Legendary Defender character of the cast whose name was directly taken from his Golion counterpart (Takashi “Quiet” Shirogane) rather than his Defender of the Universe counterpart, Sven

Only “Keith Kogane” has persisted into the Dynamite Comics line and Voltron Force (albeit mispronounced)

Keith, Lance, and Hunk do not have official surnames as of yet in Legendary Defender because they are not the same characters from the Defender of the Universe continuity

Third Dimension and Force are pseudo-sequels to Defender of the Universe, using the same characters from DOTU with different conflicting elements

Legendary Defender is a full on revamp of DOTU and Golion that use different characters simply based on their DOTU counterparts

Up until Legendary Defender, the English franchise has used Arusian and Drule/Doom for Altean and Galra respectively

Dreamworks doesn’t own the Voltron IP, it simply bought the company Classic Media that licensed it

It does, however, own Legendary Defender as its main producer

* = Hasbro distributed the Diaclone and Microman toylines as Transformers with Takara following suit in Japan. From there on, the franchise became a true American/Japanese collaboration between the two

Anime Spotlight: Future Robot Daltanious

Anime Spotlight: Future Robot Daltanious
