Daitarn 3: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

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), [[AI 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.

* [[Adjective Noun Fred]]: As noted above, the series' full title is ''Invincible Steel Man Daitarn 3''.

Line 36:

* [[Good Is Not Nice]] (Banjō only tries to destroy the Meganoids (and even then, he is willing to spare those who aren't all that bad), but is determined to be ruthless if need be)

* [[He Who Fights Monsters]] ({{spoiler|Banjō becomes this in the final episode}})

* [[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...)

* [[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 [[Gun Buster|largest]] [[Diebuster|mecha]] [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|ever]].)

Line 54:

* [[The Power of Love|Power Of Love, The]] (Quite literally in episode 17: {{spoiler|Reika uses her pink, heart-shaped mind-beams of love to convince a man with [[Psychic Powers]] to refrain from killing Banjo}})

* [[Paper Fan of Doom]]: Daitarn 3 carries two of these. Note that Daitarn 3 is actually a ''[[Humongous Mecha]].'' And Daitarn uses them for defense. Which may or may not be more outlandish. In ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'', Daitarn 3 can use said paper fan to either block attacks in defense by opening the fan, use it ''like a sword'' to block sword attacks and missiles, or use them like nunchucks. Note that Daitain already has a pair of swords and it ''still'' uses the paper fan like this.

* [[Precision Guided Boomerang]] (GREAT STAR! mounted on Daitarn 3's chest)

* [[Precision-Guided Boomerang]] (GREAT STAR! mounted on Daitarn 3's chest)

* [[Redemption Earns Life]] (Despite his personal hatred of the Meganoids, Banjō is more than willing to let the ones who show they are capable of love or are honourable live as long as they don't kill humans; he even offers most of his enemies multiple opportunities to surrender during his battles.)

* [[Robot Girl]]: Koros
