Line 4: ''The Unchallengeable Daitarn 3'' (無敵鋼人ダイターン3, ''Muteki Kōjin Daitān 3'', lit. ''Invincible Steel Man Daitarn 3'') is an anime series created by [[Yoshiyuki Tomino]] and Hajime Yatate, and produced by Sunrise. It was first broadcast on Japanese TV in 1978. The series lasted for 40 episodes. The EPIC opening theme ''Come Here! Daitarn 3'' is sung by Makoto Fujiwara. Sōzō Haran was a brilliant scientist that was conducting research on Mars. He created a [[Robots\|form of cyborg life]] with the ability to think for itself. These cyborgs, dubbed the Meganoids (メガノイド, Meganoido), [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot\|soon ran out of control and killed Dr. Haran along with his whole family]], save his youngest son, the 16-year-old [[Parental Abandonment\|Banjou Haran]]. Banjō escapes from Mars on a rocket with a solar-powered super robot called Daitarn 3, which was built with the special metals of Mars. Now 18 years old and living on Earth in a luxurious mansion, Banjō fights against the Meganoids with the aid of his faithful [[Battle Butler\|butler Garrison]] and his two gorgeous companions, [[Action Girl]] and ex-INTERPOL agent Reika Sanjo and his childhood friend Beautiful "Beauty" Tachibana. Oh, and [[Bratty Half-Pint]] Toppo, a surprising crack shot who they picked up from a city that got levitated off the ground by the Meganoids in episode 2 and then stays with Banjō & C. for no apparent reason. Together they must stop the [[The Heartless\|evil Meganoids]] which aspire to turn all humans into cyborgs and thus "improve" the human race. {{tropelist}} * [[Adjective Noun Fred]]: As noted above, the series' full title is ''Invincible Steel Man Daitarn 3''. * [[Attack of the 50 -Foot Whatever\|Attack Of The Four Hundred Foot Whatever]] (Every single Meganoid Commander -- and even some of the normal foot soldiers -- can become a [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin\|Megaborg]].) * [[Badass Creed]]/[[Badass Boast\|Boast]](See picture description) * [[Big Bad]] (Don Sauzer) Line 23 ⟶ 24: * [[Crimefighting with Cash]] (Much of Daitarn 3's operating cost and Banjo's actions in general are self-financed.) * [[Death Dealer]] (Megaborg General Edwin) * [[Dive Kick]]: The Daitarn Crash, done by Daitarn 3 to punch a hole through his opponent after the Sun Attack leaves them vulnerable. The attack is called out by Banjo Haran as a sign the battle is about to end. In the ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' franchise, Daitarn 3 usually has a dynamic kill animation with this move, complete with a hole being punched out of their opponent. * [[The Dragon]] (Koros) ** In final episode it turned out that Koros was {{spoiler\|[[Dragon-in-Chief]] whole time because Don Zauther was inactive and he only awakened in finale when Koros was defeated.}} Line 38 ⟶ 40: * [[Hey, It's That Voice!]] (Quite a bit, since Daitarn first aired in the 70s: [[Hirotaka Suzuoki]] a.k.a. [[Mobile Suit Gundam\|Bright Noah]] -- ''in his debut role'' -- as Haran Banjō, [[You Inoue]] a.k.a. [[Mobile Suit Gundam\|Sayla Mass and Haro]] as Reika, Fuyumi Shiraishi a.k.a. [[Mobile Suit Gundam\|Mirai Yashima]] as Toppo, [[Banjo Ginga]] a.k.a. [[Mobile Suit Gundam\|Gihren Zabi]] as Commander Neros, [[Shuichi Ikeda]] a.k.a. [[Mobile Suit Gundam\|A CHAR]] as Commander Radik...) * [[Hot Chick with a Sword]] (Megaborg General Milena) * [[Humongous Mecha]] (Standing at 120 meters tall, Daitarn was among the largest before [[Studio Gainax]] decided to have a crack at the [[Gunbuster\|largest]] [[Diebuster\|mecha]] [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann\|ever]].) * [[Implacable Man]] (Franken.) * [[Improbable Age]]/[[Younger Than They Look]] (Banjō is seriously 18 years old, even though he looks like a man in his thirties and have graduated several colleges, been a member of CIA for quite some time and has traveled through various countries A LOT) Line 49 ⟶ 51: * [[Love Makes You Evil]] ({{spoiler\|Pretty much THE whole reason for what Koros is doing}}) * [[Meaningful Name]]: Banjō's full name, Haran Banjō, is a homophone of a Japanese phrase, 波乱万丈, which means "stormy and full of drama". * [[Names to Know Inin Anime]] (Directed by [[Yoshiyuki Tomino]]. Banjō was voiced by the late Hirotaka "[[Mobile Suit Gundam\|Bright Noah]]" Suzuoki... in fact, it was Suzuoki's ''debut'' role!) * [[No Export for You]] (Not for English-speaking fans, nope.) * [[Once an Episode]] ("''Borrowing the power of the Sun! Sure-kill attack! SUN ATTACK!''" and "''DAITARN CRASH!''") Line 74 ⟶ 76: [[Category:Anime]] [[Category:Daitarn 3]] [[Category:Anime of the 1970s]]
