A classic [[Humongous Mecha]] manga, created in 1974 by manga author [[Ken Ishikawa]], who had previously collaborated with [[Go Nagai]] in the production of his smash-hit series ''[[Mazinger Z]]''. Where ''Mazinger'' pioneered the concept of a [[Humongous Mecha]] piloted by a human, ''Getter Robo'' effectively created the [[Combining Mecha]] with its three-part machine, which required the three pilots to work in harmony in order to work at its best. Five arcs of the manga were created before [[Ken Ishikawa]]'s death in 2006 - Getter Robo, Getter Robo G, Getter Robo Go (created 17 years after ''G''), Shin Getter Robo and Getter Robo Āḥ. Though they all form a single coherent continuity, there is also a significant [[Time Skip]] between them and each series is vastly different in tone, technology level and setting, and usually involves the next generation of Getter Robo pilots. In the thirty years since its creation, ''Getter Robo'' has had a number of spinoffs and alternate tellings, which, while not direct adaptions of the manga, usually feature the same characters but in different storylines and settings. These include...

* [[If It Swims, It Flies]]: Getter is -literally- built around this concept. Depending on how the three jets combine, the form a different robot, capable to fly on Earth and space, fly or burrow underground, or swim and dive.

* [[Infant Immortality]]: Repeatedly, gruesomely averted in the original manga. The worst is probably two kids who the Hyakki Empire vaporizes from the waist up.

* [[JAM Project]]: Openings and endings to ''New'' and ''Shin vs Neo'', while the two [[O Ps]] of ''Armageddon'' were sung respectively by Ichirou Mizuki and Hironobu Kageyama, who would later form the group.

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Hayato, in most incarnations. His methods are cold, and he can be rude and downright mean with his teammates sometimes, but you better not doubt that he's ALWAYS on the good guy's side. He does get better in his older incarnations, where being put into [[Authority Equals Asskicking|a position of authority]] softens up his disposition. But he will ALWAYS be an asshole in his first appearance.
