''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.
Line 9:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Adjective Noun Fred]]: As noted above, the series' full title is ''Invincible Steel Man Daitarn 3''.
* [[Attack of the Fifty50 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 Onon the Tin|Megaborg]].)
* [[Badass Creed]]/[[Badass Boast|Boast]](See picture description)
* [[Big Bad]] (Don Sauzer)
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]
* [[Blade Onon a Stick]] (Daitarn Javelin)
* [[Breaking the Bonds]] (The opening has this, except Banjō doesn't break tying ropes. He breaks ''[[Badass|prison bars]]'')
* [[Bruce Lee Clone]] (In episode 10)
Line 21:
* [[The Collector]]: Benmel
* [[Crazy Prepared]] (A strip of platinum is all it takes to counter the effect of the Meganoids' [[Brainwashed|brainwashing liquid]]. Banjō keeps one on his person at all times, just in case he's captured and dumped in a vat of the stuff.)
* [[Crimefighting Withwith Cash]] (Much of Daitarn 3's operating cost and Banjo's actions in general are self-financed.)
* [[Death Dealer]] (Megaborg General Edwin)
* [[The Dragon]] (Koros)
Line 37:
* [[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...)
* [[Hot Chick Withwith 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 BusterGunbuster|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)
* [[In the Name of Thethe Moon|In The Name Of The Sun]] ("If you don't fear the shine of the Sun, bring it on!")
* [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo]] (Episode 22: Banjō vs <s>James</s> Jimmy Dean.)
** Thank God the real Jimmy Dean, a country music star and founder of a brand of sausages didn't find out.
Line 57:
* [[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
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]] (Don Zauther? Don Sauzer? Don Zauker? Which one is correct?)
* [[Spiritual Successor]] (Of ''[[Zambot 3]]''. ''[[The Big O (Anime)|The Big O]]'' is often considered a spiritual succssor to ''[[Daitarn 3]]'' as well.)
* [[Super Prototype]] (The Daitarn was originally built as a testbed for Megaborg technology)
* [[Super Robot Wars]] (Has appeared in about three-fourths of them since all the way back in [[Super Robot Wars 3|SRW3]], often alongside [[Distaff Counterpart|Moon-themed counterpart]] [[Zambot 3]]. It has appeared in [[Super Robot Wars 4|4, F, F Final]], [[Super Robot Wars Alpha|Alpha series]], [[Super Robot Wars Compact|Compact 1]], [[Super Robot Wars Compact 2|Compact 2 Trilogy, Impact]], [[Super Robot Wars Z|Z/2]], [[Super Robot Wars Advance|Advance]], [[Super Robot Wars Reversal|Reverse]], [[Super Robot Wars 64|64]])
Line 64:
* [[This Is a Drill]]: Meganoid General Katrof
* [[Third Person Person]] (Meganoid Commanders are very prone to this)
* [[Tomato in Thethe Mirror]]: {{spoiler|Some of the ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' games imply that Banjo may be a Meganoid of some kind.}}
** In series there were few hints supporting this theory but it was never stated if it was true or not.
* [[Transforming Mecha]] (Dai-Tank and Dai-Fighter modes)
