Voltes Five

An attemp to murder Prince Heinell was disrupted by Kazarin, but she was shot and died in Heinell's arms. The trio Gou brothers finally met their father. The Boazanian legend said that The Protector God of Boazan, Godor, will defend Boazan if there's a Boazanian that loves Boazan so much that he is willing to sacrifice himself by jumping into the flame on the right hand of the statue of Godor. The desperate Prince Heinell then was moved to sacrifice himself into Godor's flame but it turned out that Godor statue was actually a robot. Fight between Voltes and Godor was unavoidable. Duel between Kenichi and Heinell soon followed. There, the secret of Heinell's origin was revealed by a dagger. Dr. Gou realized Heinell was his son from Rosalia, wis wife. Emperor Zu Zanbajir went mad and was killed by Heinell. An explosion separated Heinell from his long lost family. The battle was over and Voltes flew back to Earth.

General Doir piloted Solar Bird to save the Earth from Magmait bomb. The secret of Big Falcon was then revealed. Solar Bird docked with Big Falcon to become the flying fortress Solar Falcon. Journey to Planet Boazan began, but surely it was not going to be a smooth journey.

General Gururu came to Earth from Boazan to evaluate Prince Heinell's efforts in conquering the Earth. Meanwhile, the rebel slave's base in Alpine mountains was discovered and attacked. Dr. GOU Kentarou was kidnapped by Gururu right in front of Voltes V's nose. As Voltes chased Gururu, he led Voltes into Heinell's underground lair.

A sentiment of anti-Boazanian caused a crisis in Big Falcon after the Boazanians attacked a city and captured some of its people to be made slaves. Nakamura, a staff in Big Falcon whose parents were included in those who were captured got drunk and ran amok. He then was dismissed by Fr. Sakunji. This triggered a dilemma between enforcing discipline and sympathizing with Nakamura's tragedy. Hatred against the Boazanians was tense. This issue was getting worse as the matter of the trio Gou brothers being half Boazanian was known among the staff.

Jangal did a test on his robot in Popolonesia islands but unfortunately for him, his activities were sighted and reported to the Voltes team. Voltes attacked the robot and Jangal's flying saucer and made it crashed on an island. Jangal escaped into the jungle and the Voltes team were after him. Ippei wanted to kill him but Kenichi wouldn't let him. Kenichi said that he had Boazanian blood too, so Jangal was his fellow man.

Prince Heinell conducted a Boazanian ritual of drinking a golden eagle's blood and taking an oath to fight until death. Kazarin wanted to protect Prince Heinell by taking initiative to trap and kill Kenichi first. She wrote a letter saying she knew where Dr. Gou was and asked to meet him. Kazarin disguised as a nun named Jane and meet Kenichi at a church full of booby traps. She failed to kill Kenichi and later Prince Heinell came to save Kazarin and had a duel with Kenichi.

The injured General Dange told stories about Dr. GOU Kentarou's past when he lived in Planet Boazan. Gou was known as La Gour in Boazan and he was the son of Emperor's brother. Unfortunately, La Gour was born hornless so his parents put fake horns on his head so he could live as an aristocrat. La Gour then married a girl named Rosalia. When the Emperor died, he has no son to replace him so La Gour was chosen to be Emperor. But his cousin, Zanbajir, wanted to be Emperor and exposed La Gour's being hornless to the public. La Gour was then thrown into prison and had to worked as slave. He then managed to escape to Earth, and married Dr. Mitsuyo. From her, he got 3 sons. Kenichi and his brother were shocked to learn that they were half Boazanians. General Dange died after he had said all of this.

Voltes V underwent a heavy repair according to the mechanical scheme dropped by the mysterious red mechanical eagle. When it tried to fire Choudenji Ball, it turned out that the energy of Voltes V was drained to zero because the energy control of Voltes V failed. Once again, the mechanical eagle came to the rescue. To solve the energy draining problem, the mechanical eagle combined with Voltes by "Panel Seven" mechanism and implanted an energy control device in Voltes' back. Now Voltes can use Choudenji Ball at its disposal.

General Bergan came from Planet Boazan along with some meteorites which contains Maxingal metal. The metal was so hard, the Tenkuu-ken wouldn't cut through it. Kazarin and Jangal were irritated with Bergan's attitude as Bergan boasted his superiority of making better beast fighter and being a special assistant to Prince Heinell. Surely Voltes cannot defeat Maxingal-plated robot Okozenia because the sword Tenkuu-ken cannot cut the robot but suddenly a mechanical red eagle came to the rescue.

Zuuru tried to kill Heinell as he was sleeping but he failed and got caught. He was given one chance to save his life by pretending to runaway from Heinell and seeking refuge to Big Falcon and finally leading Voltes V into a trap. He succeeded in gaining Voltes team's trust and brought Voltes team into the planned trap and he tried once more to kill Heinell again. He failed and was shot to death.

Voltes team tried to figure out what the numbers written on the cloth mean. The figure turned out to be a pulsating wave frequency. Dr. Gou transmitted this wave by using a mini transmitter and by tracking the wave, Voltes can trace his whereabouts. Meanwhile Zuuru created Zoru Geru, an amoeba-like robot that can heal itself or even change form. When he failed to defeat Voltes, Zuuru was tortured by Heinell as punishment.

Dr. Gou and some slaves managed to escape to earth but they were attacked by Zuuru and Gou was held in Sky Rook. Zuuru used him as hostage but Voltes team didn't believe he was the real Dr. Gou as they had been tricked many times and thought he was just another dummy robot (see episode #15). Things got complicated when Kenichi spotted tears in the suspectedly Dr. Gou dummy robot just before he was going to slash Sky Rook with Tenku-ken. What robot can shed tears?

We don't have an overview translated to English (English) for episode 16.

Voltes rescued an airplane piloted by a man which turned out to be a runaway slave. But after the man was brought to Big Falcon and treated, he sneaked into Voltes hangar and sabotaged Tenku-ken, he betrayed Voltes because he was promised by Heinell if he did so, his daughter will be given to him. Heinell lied and Voltes had to face the enemy with the mighty sword, Tenku-ken, nailed to his chest.

Dr. Hamaguchi and Commander Oka visited a secret lab under a waterfall. They collected Voltes data to find solution to volt-in safely. Suddenly the Boazanians led by Heinell broke into the secret lab. The duo managed to escape, made "Ultra Magucon" device and implanted it in Volt Crewzer.

Zuuru used the beast fighter Bombos's X-ray eye to analyze Voltes as they were volting-in, then after he found out how the electromagnetic energy flows inside Voltes, he sent robot Namazungo to disrupt the volting-in sequence with super electromagnetic wave that can neutralize Voltes' super electromagnetic field generated during volt-in sequence. With Voltes unable to combine, how could they beat the Boazanian beast fighter?

Duke Zaki came from Boazan to visit Prince Heinell. He harassed Heinell of his failure so far to conquer the Earth and also of his background of being a son of the traitor named La Gour. The Duke then made a plan to kill Heinell in a fight with Voltes by forcing Heinell to pilot the beast fighter Gargo. But Zaki's plan was shattered to pieces as Kazarin eavesdropped the plan and leaked it to Prince Heinell.

When it comes to horse then Ippei is the man. When he was in America, his only friend after her mother and father died was his horse, Eiffel. Ippei told story about his friendship with his horse, Eiffel. He was then forced to part with Eiffel when he joined Voltes Team. When Ippei lost his temper and decided to leave the team for good, Dr. Hamaguchi asked Megumi to tell him that he could fetch Eiffel at Haneda Airport.

Daijirou was sure that Voltes cannot win against the sword expert beast fighter Gardo. They decided to run away from the battle and hide in a cave. Kenichi had to learn "catching-a-butterfly" technique from Daijirou to defeat the sword-skilled Gardo. The technique is really hard to master and Kenichi was no sword master. While they were training, the beast fighter attacked Big Falcon.

The bird-shaped island of Ootorajima island where Big Falcon was located on was surely attracted the Boazanian's attention. Dr. Mitsuyou was at the grave of her husband, Dr. GOU Kentarou. She had a flashback of the time when Dr. Kentarou left his family. Suddenly the beast fighter attacked Big Falcon and she was injured during the attack. When fighting the beast fighter, Voltes fell into dangerous situation. The injured Dr. Mitsuyo forced herself to fly an airplane and sacrifice herself to help her children.
