Brave Command Dagwon (Yuusha Shirei Daguon) is a 1996-97 anime, the seventh entry in Sunrise's Brave Series.Whereas in past entries the protagonists tended to be self-aware robots, the primary characters in Dagwon are high-school students who, after transforming into their Dag-(insert your favorite element here) forms, and then fuse with their mecha - they don't pilot their mecha, they are their mecha.The show first aired at around the tail end of Neon Genesis Evangelion, and is clearly influenced by it - think "well-adjusted high-schooler Shinji" and that's half the show. The other half being an invasion by alien prisoners from the Sargasso prison in nearby space, a plot closer to standard Tokusatsu fare.An OVA titled Brave Command Dagwon: The Boy With Crystal Eyes was released shortly after the conclusion of the main series. Taking place an indeterminate but relatively short amount of time after the original anime, the team's return to peaceful life is interrupted by a strange young boy named Kenta, who for some reason can't seem to grasp basic concepts and is being chased by The Men in Black. When Rai unexpectedly returns as the leader of these men, with his own take on the situation, the rest of the team must come to the right conclusion fast before the world is once again put in jeopardy.Rather unfortunately overshadowed by GaoGaiGar, the next Brave Series show.

comment
Aliens Speaking English: Played straight in the anime, of course, but in the OVA, it initially seems subverted after The Reveal, since Deandozol was only mimicking a human and had trouble speaking language, suggesting it was struggling to learn it. It gets played straight like the rest in the end, though, since it speaks perfect human language in its final form.

No Biochemical Barriers: Averted in episode 27.

Turns out all that Earth food they ate disagreed with them...

Law of Chromatic Superiority: En gets the best toys to play with. However, this is in the sense that his mecha are the most well-rounded. Super Liner Dagwon is better at fighting multiple targets at once, Shadow Dagwon's Ga-oh Giri can destroy without collateral damage, and Thunder Dagwon is incredibly fast and agile in air or space.

 Brave Command Dagwon / int_2941069e
comment
Law of Inverse Recoil: Waffles with the Mugenhou; Super Liner Dagwon and Shadow Dagwon together are blown away when they try to use it, while Fire Dagwon can withstand the recoil but slides back an enormous distance. Power Dagwon's Super-Strength is shown off by being able to fire the Mugenhou with no recoil at all once it plants its shovel in the ground behind it. Note that everyone is tuned to their own weaponry, and the trope is otherwise played straight.

Recruit Teenagers with Attitude
 Brave Command Dagwon / int_3e710b5d
comment
Recruit Teenagers with Attitude: Essentially what Brave-seijin does. Subverted slightly, though - the teens he picked actually had useful skills, but with the exception of Ryu these don't really match the powers and equipment he assigns them. Kai is pretty good with a wooden sword, but becomes the speed-themed Dag Turbo, who doesn't have a sword. That's because Brave-seijin simply choose them because they were the first qualified people he ran into and he was on the clock because the attack started sooner than he expected. Ideally he'd have searched the entire population of Earth to find the best 5 people that matched each Dagwon set perfectly which would most likely NOT been 5 random teenagers. But he simply didn't have the time and just gave them the powers and vehicles and hoped they'd work things out.

Gory Discretion Shot: Mind, this is a kid's show. It's typically the aliens that get this. Example: there's a train car-sized bug on some train tracks. A commuter train is about to collide with it. Armor Shin shows up, opens fire, (cut to GDS), and the train passes safely over the bug-colored splatter on the tracks.

Mid-Season Upgrade: Super Liner Dagwon and Power Dagwon. Super Fire Dagwon actually averts the typical Brave trend where it would be one of these by instead being an 11th-Hour Superpower, with En continuing to use Power Dagwon as his primary form even after getting it.

Disney Death: En completely shatters as Super Fire Dagwon in order to purge Genocide from Fire Dagwon's systems, with the total breakdown of both mechs killing it outright. Rai believes En to be Killed Off for Real after finding one of the worn-down Space Police badges, but everyone else starts searching and breaking down when they can't find him. Of course, En is not dead; he ejected from Super Fire Dagwon as DagFire and collapsed back onto Earth, and so he returns, beaten, to the place he promised Maria to return his debt at.

comment
Clark Kenting: While their suits mostly conceal the Dagwon well enough, they still come a little short at being a complete disguise because you can still clearly see parts of their faces inside their helmets and they all use variations of their ACTUAL NAMES as their Dagwon names, ie En transforms into "Fire En", Rai becomes "Thunder Rai" etc. Despite that none of their non Dagwon friends recognize them despite constantly interacting in both forms. Maria only finds out when En's helmet is shattered in front of her and Gaku finds out in the very final battle because En tells him. Although the principal seems to catch on quickly and it's implied Shin's love interest Erika quickly figured it out when she was caught up in the Succubus case, so it's possible Maria and Gaku are just really dense.

Pocket Protector: When Ryu is blackmailed into killing En, En is protected by a shuriken throw by a book of poetry in his pocket in order to fool the alien blackmailing him. It helps that Ryu specifically asked En to get this book for him and asks if En had just picked it up and does a mental note of where he knows En's shirt pocket is before deliberately aiming for it.

Shout-Out
 Brave Command Dagwon / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out This show is basically Super Sentai fighting Angel-style alien invaders. The Mouser-seijin mecha attempts to use the Chou-Denji Spin on Fire Dagwon - complete with a Choudenji Tatsumaki-style holding effect. Brave-seijin is pretty obviously an Ultraman Shout-Out, right down to the "Tearduct Eyeholes" at the corners of his eyesnote The original Ultraman costumes, had little holes in the lit-up eyes, close to the nose, with the effect being that they were cross-eyed (only visible in closeup, though). The Thunder Shuttle is summoned with "Come here! Thunder Shuttle!" and one of Thunder Dagwon's finishers is the Moon Attack. The Thunder-Lancer-from-the-chestplate thing is probably too broad to be a shout out, though. One of Dag Shadow's attacks has him combine the powers of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Spoiler Opening: Combined with Bait-and-Switch Credits: the opening prominently features Super Fire Dagwon from episode 31 onward, despite Super Fire Dagwon being another ten episodes away and only appearing three times in the whole show. Rai and Thunder Dagwon are also shown in the opening four episodes before his official appearance.

Reconstruction
 Brave Command Dagwon / int_e50987a9
comment
Reconstruction: This show came out a bit before Evangelion ended, and while it liberally borrows visuals (quite a few of the aliens could pass as Angels) and some other ideas, it wholeheartedly rejects the self-destructive nature of that show. Especially in the endgame. If you look closely, you can even see some of the elements that made it over to GaoGaiGar.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business
 Brave Command Dagwon / int_e83f211c
comment
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: One of the reasons the last episode hits hard. Kai starts crying for once despite having hated En the whole time, Yoku starts to destroy his work, Shin and Geki are visibly deflated, and Maria starts to forget about the fact that En's late to the meeting he promised, even in jest. Rai is pessimistic from the start, after he finds the worn down Space Police badge from Fire Dagwon's chassis. Ryu is the only person not affected by this (whether or not the scene where he asks his sister if she dreamed of En coming back counts is up for debate.)

Oddball in the Series: Dagwon, from top to bottom, does not resemble most other entries in the Brave Series and suffered in ratings as a result. That said, its successor, GaoGaiGar, actually took some of the better ideas and refined them into the Crowner we know it to be.

The Power of Friendship: Dag Base Robo, when running on this, is capable of ripping an asteroid apart from the inside. This is what causes Deandozol to spare Earth and assimilate into the human race in the OVA; it's far too grateful for meeting young En and his dog Kenta in order to explore humanity.
