Voltron: Defender of the Universe (1981)

Hyakujuu Ou Golion / 百獣王 ゴライオン

Information

Description

The tyrant King Zarkon, the ruler of the planet Doom, attacks the planet Arus. As a result, 5 young space pilots are sent to Arus. They must activate the lion robots to create Voltron, the most powerful robot in the universe. This is the only way they can save Arus from King Zarkon. They are supported by Princess Allura, her advisor Coran and the nanny Nanny

Annotation:
For the Western market, “Voltron: Defender of the Universe” and “Vehicle Team Voltron” were made into the two Voltron series, apparently also using material from other series (thus, the US version also had significantly more episodes). In 1986, the TV special “Voltron: Fleet of Doom”, produced by Toei, was released in the USA, which never ran in Japan and was intended to link the storylines of the two series. From the 1990s onwards, other purely American Voltron series were produced.
In 2008, the original Japanese version with English subtitles was also released on DVD in the USA as “King of Beasts Golion”.
Der Tyrann König Zarkon, Herrscher des Planeten Doom, greift den Planeten Arus an. Daraufhin werden fünf junge Raumpiloten nach Arus geschickt. Sie müssen die Löwen-Roboter aktivieren, um mit deren Hilfe Voltron, seines Zeichens mächtigster Roboter des Universums, zu erschaffen. Nur so können sie Arus noch vor König Zarkon retten! Unterstützt werden sie dabei von Prinzessin Allura, ihrem Berater Coran und dem Kindermädchen Nanny

Anmerkung:
Für den westlichen Markt entstanden aus »Voltron: Verteidiger des Universums« und »Voltron: Verteidiger des Universums (Staffel 2)« die beiden Voltron-Serien, wobei anscheinend auch Material anderer Serien genutzt wurde – dadurch hatte die US-Fassung auch deutlich mehr Episoden. 1986 erschien in den USA noch das von Toei produzierte TV-Special »Voltron: Fleet of Doom«, das nie in Japan lief und die Handlungsstränge der beiden Serien miteinander verknüpfen sollte. Ab den 1990er Jahren entstanden noch weitere rein amerikanische Voltron-Serien. 2008 erschien als »King of Beasts Golion« auch die japanische Originalfassung mit englischen Untertiteln auf DVD in den USA.
