''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), [[
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.

* [[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)
