Super Electromagnetic Power World

The Combattler V pachislot animation made this page happen.

Setting

Thousands of years ago, the people of the planet Campbell decided to leave their planet and seek out new worlds to inhabit. One group, led by the scientist Oreana, landed on Earth, but was delayed from their mission. In the early 21st century, Oreana's group reawakens and begins their plan to conquer the Earth. The only effective defense against the Campbellians' giant bio-mechanical slave beasts is the super-electromagnetic robot, Combattler V and its pilots.

14,000 light-years from the Earth located in a stellar system within the Scorpio Cluster lies the planet of Boazan. Its local populace and natural environment are almost identical to that of the Earth's albeit the former benefits from scientific innovations and technological developments which are far more advanced than what humanity has ever achieved. The entire planet is wholly governed by an oligopolistic monarchy with a cruel caste system: Boazanians born with horns are highly regarded and bestowed with elite privileges while the hornless are branded as slaves and are forced to work on the most physically demanding tasks under constant threat of pain, confinement, and death. Tension between the classes reached its zenith when Boazan's highly-revered Chief Science Minister La Gour was exposed as a hornless pretender mere moments before his ascension to the throne; an exploitative revelation perpetrated by the former's ambitious bastard cousin Zu Zambajil who wanted the empire for himself. Freed from incarceration by a band of hornless dissidents, La Gour subsequently led a daring insurrection against the empire but their valiant efforts were easily thwarted by Boazan's vastly superior military. Using the rebels' last remaining space saucer, La Gour fled to faraway planet Earth. Assimilated into human society, La Gour started a family with a local woman while further developing his scientific expertise under a new persona: "Professor Kentaro Go".

As several years passed, Professor Kentaro Go returned to Boazan for diplomatic reasons though the now emperor Zu Zambajil rejected the former's appeal of non-aggression towards Earth. After a lengthy absence, Professor Kentaro Go was presumed dead by his family. A decade later, the Boazanians invade the Earth under the leadership of the emperor's nephew Prince Heinel. Simultaneous deployments of the invaders' numerous fleets of well-armed and highly mobile space saucers were conducted against key strategic targets around the world. Earth's combined military forces were summarily outclassed, overwhelmed, and annihilated; survivors of the lopsided onslaught had no other option but to retreat. Major cities are destroyed as countless civilians lose their lives; worldwide mass panicking was at an unprecedented level. Victory now within their grasp, the marauding Boazanians mobilized into their hidden subterranean fortress (secretly built by their cohorts while the Boazanians were en route to Earth) as their base of operations while occupying the planet. This stronghold also serves as the production facility and primary hangar for the invaders' fearsome Beast Fighters, Boazan's exceptionally resilient and combat adaptive superweapons. Going up against an impossibly formidable inter-planetary armada immune to conventional weaponry, renowned Earth scientists Professor Hamaguchi and Mitsuyo Go (Kentaro's wife) summoned the three half-Earthling children of Professor Kentaro Go: Kenichi, Daijiro and Hiyoshi alongside two new members: Ippei and Megumi (all of whom were undergoing special training for a whole year prior to the invasion). The group then traveled to the undisclosed island base named "Big Falcon" (a prodigious closely guarded technological mega project that took almost twenty years to complete) wherein the scientists ultimately reveal Professor Kentaro Go's greatest life's work and humanity's last remaining hope for survival: "Voltes V".

After the destruction of their home world, the survivors of the planet Baam head towards Earth with the goal of negotiating the purchase of land for emigration. Unfortunately, during the negotiations, the Baam-seijin leader is assassinated by his second in command and the delegation from Earth is framed for the murder. In the ensuing chaos, Doctor Isamu Ryūzaki of the Earth delegation is shot and killed.

Shortly after the disastrous end of the talks, the Baam began a campaign of terror against Earth. The only thing standing between the Earthlings and annihilation is the transforming, karate-using super robot, Daimos and its pilot, Kazuya Ryūzaki. But that changes when he meets and falls in love with a mysterious girl named Erika, who turns out to be the daughter of the deceased Baam-seijin leader. Over the course of their struggles to reunite, Kazuya and Erika each learn that the other's people are not all evil... And that their own people are not all good.

Trivia

This page exists mostly because of that amazing Combattler V Pachislot animation.

• Combattler V is kind of the most generic show since Mazinger Z.
• Voltes V has such cultural significance in the Philippines, it's a little awe-inspiring. Even to this day.
• Daimos is apparently another touchstone in the Philippines, but mostly it's shocking how Nana went from a cute loli to a kinda sexy girl over time and DVD releases. Also Kyoushiro could fight Sanger or Balgus easy.
