'''''King of Braves GaoGaiGar''''' (''Yuusha-Oh GaoGaiGar'') started broadcast in 1997, as the final installment of the Takara/Sunrise ''[[Brave Series]]''.
 
The series opens with the most patently awesome version of the Stork ''ever'' as a giant robot lion delivers a human-looking baby to an unsuspecting couple in the middle of a snowstorm, who name the baby Mamoru. Eight years later, in the far flung future of 2005, Mamoru is on a school trip to a garbage island in order to have demonstrated to him the importance of recycling, only to awaken a giant [[Robeast]]. He and his classmates are trapped on said robot, and all hope seems lost as the military bombards it with fighter jets, only to have them shot out of the sky. But what's this? A mysterious cyborg swoops in to save them, [[Transformation Sequence|then jumps into the giant robot lion from eight years ago, turning it into a large robot man.]] When this proves not enough to save the kids, he [[Combining Mecha|fuses it with a bullet train, stealth bomber and drill tank]] and basically rips its heart out. Just as he's about to crush it however, Mamoru suddenly starts to glow green, wings of light spread from his back, and he flies towards the robot, begging the robot not to destroy the core.
