" The Voltes V series is the greatest one among the others, well that's what I and some of my friends think . "
The earth is in danger. Aliens from planet Boazan attemp to launch their attack upon earth in order to enslave every human, because of their less nobility status, human doesn't have horn on their head. On Boazan, people who don't have horn treated as slave while the horned one rules. Leaded by Hainel, Boazan's king, the Boazans attack earth with their UFOs and battlebots.
Meanwhile on a small island called Big Falcon Island, five teenager trained to pilot five special jetplane which can be combined into a robot fighter.

General Oka
Megumi's father. He was killed when trying to save Megumi . Megumi found a ring and wear it. It turn out that the ring was actually an enemy robot. Its possesed Megumi's mind and turn her into evil.
Professor Sakonji
He take over Hamaguchi's place after his death. He train Voltes V crew harder, and adding one more weapon on Voltes V. However the weapon is a failure until a mysterious red eagle plane, piloted by General Danbei, send a full Voltes V blueprint. After some adjustment, the weapon is ready.
The Big Falcon Island is really a camuflaged starship. When professor Sakonji accidentally push the transformation button, Big Falcon start to fly. Then another starship from the North Pole ( I think ) docking with Big Falcon, forming a complete starship. The final offensive toward Boazan started. The Big Falcon head toward Boazan and initiating its warp drive. Soon they're arrive there. The ship land and soon Voltes and Hainel's bot have an one-on one duel. Both are very good at sword fencing. Both robots are down. The duel continue between Ken-Ichi and Hainel on the ground.
About Ken-Ichi and Hainel :
Hainel is Ken-Ichi's brother. Prof. Gou also Hainel's father. However Hainel doesn't know this, because Gou doesn't have a horn on his forehead like the other Boazans. He even imprison him in the dungeon . After the slave rebellion failed, he go to earth, preparing earth to defend against Boazans. He marry earth girl and have three kids, Ken-Ichi, Daiziro, and Hiyoshi. When Big Falcon landed on Boazan, Gou able to free himself and try to stop the duel between Ken-Ichi and Hainel by telling them the blood connection between them. This is a shock for both Ken-Ichi and Hainel. Hainel doesn't realize that his surronding is on fire. Soon the fire grow bigger, taking Hainel inside it. Even when the fire start to burn him, he only stare at Ken-Ichi, saying 'brother' very softly. Meanwhile Ken-Ichi scream when he see Hainel burned to death.
It's a sad end, really.
About Kentaro Gou :
Prof. Gou was born in the royal Boazan Family, but without horns. His parents put fake horns on him to hide the truth. He became minister of science and was next in line to be emperor. He married Losaria (who became Hainel's mother) Just when he was about to be crowned, the prince Zambojir discovered Gou's secret and exposed him. Gou became a slave and led a rebellion. He then escaped to earth, and there created Voltes V.

Mazinger Story.
"By Federico Luciani"
During a traffic jam, in april 1972, a young mangaka said "If a car had arms, and
legs… There will be no problems such this !". He was called Go Nagai. He had
already worked for his friend Ken ariga, a manager at Toei doga drawing
"Devilman" (or better, I think it was Mao Dante) and his brothers worked for
Dynamic Production. The were looking for something new, after a long, unlucky time. Go
called this robot "Iron Z". It was created by professor Akagane for a special
laboratory (inspired by Ultraman) to fight against Dr. Hell's creatures (You know this
part of the story). His pilot (helped by Sayaka Yumi on Iron A) was called Susumu Kaze,
wich was riding a motorcycle called the Pilder, and climbed the robot by riding on a kind
of cape on the back of the robot. After a short time Nagai thought to change his robot
into a super robot, and he added two ideas, Japanium and Photo Atomic Energy (In this
moment I can't remember if it was the English name too) (well, Iron A was created in this
period, too). Fuji TV would have broadcast this anime on sunday evenings, at 7.00 pm,
helped in production by Asatsu Agency. But they wanted to call it "Energer Z".
At last Go Nagai decided for…Well, You know ! They changed the Motorcycle with the
Hover Pilder, too, to avoid any confusion with Kamen Rider. This changed Mazinger's head,
too. They started publishing it on Shonen Jump, but before it they changed Susumu in Koji,
and Akagane with Yumi, father of Sayaka. The robot was no more created by Yumi, but by
Koji's grandfather, at first a kind of mad scientist with a deformed face, then a nice and
peaceful old granny… They introduced also, for kids, Boss and Shiro. Iron A became a
peaceful robot, Aphrodite A.
They had still to decide how to colour this characters. (Manga was in Black & White).
Here in Italy we say "then any colour was seen", i.e. happened almost everything
about it. At first, Mazinger had flat feets, a longer armour, eyes sublined by red stripes
and, sometimes, a blue Pilder, or a Pilder with a yellow tail. Aphrodite's head was at
first green, then brown and only at last red, and a bigger crane. Ashura's cape was pink
and purple, and his face was all made of living, pink flesh. Boss Robt was at first green
and blue, too, with brown and yellow arms. Koji wore a scarf, and Sayaka had only after a
few weeks his yellow pants and jacket. On December 8th they started broadcasting, but
still the toon was designed by a lot of different laboratories, because Toei doga's
workers were on strike. So Laser Beams from the eyes were at first red, sometimes it had a
kind of gas as Breast Fire, or white punches (sometimes, white or blue in different scenes
of the same episode.), or square foots, or four holes in his mouth… This lasted for
13 episodes, but people already loved it…It had a share of 30% on episode 68, with
duke Gorgon (still I don't remember if it was his real name), one of the highest audiences
of all times in Japan.
