DESCRIPTION : ( wikipedia ) Chōdenji Machine Voltes 5
VOLTES 5 ( pronounced VOL-TEZ-FIVE )
For those who are wondering about the name " Voltes 5 " Ive included the a description about it - I wanted to use this as the theme of my geocoin for my everlasting admiration for this cartoon since the days I was still a little boy ...
Here is the DRAGON TAILS : VOLTES 5 EDITION geocoin with the Chogokin ... VOLTES 5 !
(超電磁マシーン ボルテスV Chōdenji Mashīn Borutesu Faibu?, Super Electromagnetic Machine Voltes Five) is a
Japanese anime television series that was first aired on
TV Asahi starting June 4, 1977. It was created by Saburo Yatsude (a pseudonym referring to a committee within Toei) and directed by
Tadao Nagahama. Voltes V is the second part of the
Robot Romance Trilogy of the
Super Robot genre which includes
Combattler V and
Daimos. Like Combattler V, the series was animated by
Sunrise and produced by
Toei Company. This super robot along with the other two aforementioned super robots first appeared the USA as a part of
Mattel's
Shogun Warriors line of import toys, released in the late 1970s. Voltes V narrates the heroic exploits of the young robot pilots known as
The Voltes Team and their trials against alien invaders from the
planet Boazan. Armed with the Super Electromagnetic Machine Voltes V, the five pilots drive back the invaders one
Beast Fighter at a time. The series is different from typical super robot anime of the time in that it illustrates human sentimentality and common values, with underlying themes such as the love of family, equality, selfless sacrifice, team work, and patriotism.
Voltes V is a work that has a heavy revolutionary undertone. The series ends with Voltes V's spectacular counterattack on planet Boazan to liberate the slaves from the oppression of a tyrannical ruler, Emperor Zu Zambojil. After Voltes V, Tadao Nagahama directed the TV anime version of Rose of Versailles, which leaves speculation that perhaps Voltes V was influenced by Nagahama's research on the French Revolution for his future project.[original research?] The theme of enslaved population rising up to overthrow an aristocracy lend support to theory. There are 5 members of the Voltes team and the super robot has 5 different parts ( thus the name Voltes 5 )
They combine to form the super robot as seen here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ET5SXRoBIjU
Voltes Vs arsenal consists of variety of missiles, a bazooka, beams, and weapons such as Ultramagnetic Top (Similar to the Choudenji Yo-Yo of Combattler V) and Tenkūken (天空剣 Sky Sword, "Laser Sword" in English dub, "Excalibur" in the Italian one). With Tenkūken, Voltes V started the trend in super robots genre in using sword as the finishing a.k.a. "Hissatsu" weapon, marking the enemy's final moments with his signature "V" slash.
Voltes V deviates from the robotic design of the Combattler V. The plot of Voltes V has a more serious tone than Combattler V's comedic storyline. Voltes V's formula is also similar to that of the story of the later Daimos series.
Voltes V's homebase is located at :
CAMP BIG FALCON ( GC35FE7 )
This is also the name of the cache the coin originated from and would like to someday return to it once completing its mission with the 5 destinations mentioned above !
