ChÅ�denji Robo Combattler V (formally, 超電ç£�ãƒãƒœ コン・ãƒ�トラーV or ChÅ�denji Robo KonbatorÄ� Bui) is the first part of the Robot Romance Trilogy of Super Robot series created by "Saburo Yatsude" and directed by Tadao Nagahama (the next ones being Voltes V and Daimos). The robot's name is a portmanteau of Combine, Combat and Battle, and the V is intended both as an abbreviation for "victory" and in reference to the five component machines that form the robot, as well as its five pilots. The V is proununced as the letter V, whereas in the follow-up series, Voltes V, it is prounounced "5".The series (along with the later two shows) was created by Saburo Yatsude, who would later go on to create GoLion (best familiar to American viewers as the "Lion Force" half of Voltron). "Saburo Yatsude" is not a real person, but a pseudonym which refers to the collective staff at Toei (the main office, rather than the animation studio; the series was animated by Nippon Sunrise and produced by Toei Co. Ltd).Thousands of years ago, the people of the planet Campbell decided to leave their planet and seek out new worlds to inhabit. One group, led by the scientist Oreana, landed on Earth, but was delayed in their mission. In the early 21st century, Oreana's group reawakens and begins their plan to conquer the Earth.The only effective defense against the Campbellians' giant bio-mechanical slave beasts is the super-electromagnetic robot, Combattler V and its pilots. The robot creator, Professor Nanbara, however, only had one pilot ready; his granddaughter Chizuru. Hence, with the authority granted from the UN, he called forth three teenagers and one pre-teen boy with different backgrounds; street racer Hyouma Aoi, Olympic marksman Juzo Naniwa, judoka Daisaku Ishikawa and boy genius Kosuke Kita. Together with Chizuru, the team must learn to combine their mind and strength to effectively pilot Combattler V and defend Earth.The entire series follows the then-standard Monster of the Week format packed up in two story arcs. The first arc pits the Combattler team against Oreana and her protege Garuda and their Slave Beasts. The second arc switched the enemy into a greater force of Campbellians under Empress Janera and her generals, brothers Dungele and Warchimedes, who boast a new type of Monster of the Week called Magma Beasts.The series was brought over to the US in a fashion... As part of a toyline called Shogun Warriors that also included other super Robots such as Raideen and Great Mazinger In 1979 Marvel Comics licensed it as part of the 20-part miniseries Shogun Warriors, along with Raideen and Planet Robo Danguard Ace, under the name Combattra. One of the latter issues in the series even featured the standard "Heroic misunderstanding" with the Fantastic Four.In 2012, a pachinko game (basically the lovechild of a pinball table and a slot machine) depicting a new opening and the anime in a kick-ass modernized art style debuted.In 2020, the show is airing on Toei's official Youtube channel in an effort to promote the show outside of its fanbase with English subtitles.Has a sequel manga. | |

Artificial Limbs: Hyoma Aoi gets replacement arms after Garuda shoots his original arms off. Unlike other examples of this trope, they do not grant him super-strength and they don't work perfectly at all. Several times they stop working momentarily at very inopportune moments (such like when he was driving his car or fighting in his Humongous Mecha). | |

Killer Yo-Yo: Super Electromagnetic (Chodenji) Yo-Yo!.. Combattler V can release from the arms a pair of powerful yo-yos that are each equipped with a powerful buzzsaw. It was actually inspired when Prof. Yotsuya (and the Battle Team) recall seeing a yo-yo exhibition on TV earlier while thinking up ideas on how to defeat the acid-shooting Monster of the Week. | |

Ramming Always Works | |
| Combattler V / int_3114c1e5 | comment |
Ramming Always Works: "Choudenji Tatsumaki! Choudenji Spin!". Combattler paralyzes its adversary by blasting it with a stream of electricity and then rams through its body as spinning endlessly. Hyoma often uses it as a Finishing Move, and it tends to leave a nice gaping hole in the Monster of the Week. It should be noted that unlike what many media (especially Super Robot Wars) tell you, Combattler doesn't always have to begin with Choudenji Tatsumaki; if the enemy is stunned enough by other means, the team can just instantly execute Choudenji Spin and finish off the enemy immediately. | |

The Fellowship Has Ended: A partial one for the ending. With the Campbellian threat gone, the Battle Team disband and return to their original lives. Juzo, Daisaku and Kosuke return to their respective home towns, but Hyouma didn't return to Sun Academy; he opts to stay with Chizuru in Nanbara Connection, considering that she's by all means an orphan like him too and having grown to also love her. | |

Face Death with Dignity: After Janera is defeated, the team find out that they're too late to stop an eventual Earth-Shattering Kaboom devised by Janera on her defeat. Knowing that they're doomed, they chose to stand proud that they did their best to protect Earth, It Has Been an Honor and they'll live and die together. But then, cue sudden interference by Deus to save the day, so they end up subverting it. | |

What Does This Button Do?: In episode 16, Kotaro, a little kid and Hyouma's acquaintance, visited the Nanbara Connection. When Ropet shows him the team's vehicles, Kotaro can't help to get in Hyouma's jet fighter, point at a random button and ask what it does. Ropet tried to talk him out of touching it, but Kotaro pressed it anyway. | |

Always Chaotic Evil | |
| Combattler V / int_4832a3bb | comment |
Always Chaotic Evil: For a while it seemed the trope was being played straight, but it was ultimately averted. The Campbellians attacking Earth were not representative of the entire race, but rather a radical faction that are more warmongering and adheres to the trope. Without the Nanbara Connection realizing, there's actually a pacifistic faction of Campbellians that successfully pulled a coup d'etat against the radicals, who was also doomed the moment Janera chose to ignore their call for help in favor of completely beating the Combattler Team to dust, and they succeeded, and their leader, Deus, personally comes to Earth to undo whatever damage Janera caused and planned to do on Earth, commending the human spirit for standing up against her and apologizing on his race's behalf. | |

Falling into the Cockpit | |
| Combattler V / int_522811b8 | comment |
Falling into the Cockpit: An interesting instance. In the first episode, the team handles the vehicles forming Combattler reasonably well, in spite of the fact none of them but Chizuru had seen them before or even had pilot training. However it was later revealed there are computers located in their helmets that help them to handle their vehicles by giving instructions. However, in a later episode, a young boy, Kotaro, sneaks into the Nanbara Connection, hears about the helmets, steals Hyouma's helmet, thinking he would also be able to pilot Combattler, and... almost gets killed. This leads to him getting chewed out by Hyouma near the end of the episode in question. | |

Airborne Aircraft Carrier | |
| Combattler V / int_8b6de1eb | comment |
Airborne Aircraft Carrier: Three of them, used by the enemies: Graydon, Garuda's personal aircraft, which used slave monster production, missiles from its top, levitation, even underwater, an underside tractor beam, teleportation, a buzzsaw hidden in one of its six wings, and a pink heat ray Bramble, Warchimedes' attack saucer which had the aforementioned levitation and tractor beam, yellow eye lasers, and missile launchers at the midsection. Saint Magma, Empress Janera's warship used in the final episode. It was heavily armour-plated and its capabilities included creating tornadoes from its underside, firing spike missiles from the carapace, a flamethrower mounted in its mouth, freezing wind from its front and side mouths, detachable front and side heads, fangs strong enough to break Combattler's weapons, and laser beam bolts from all four heads. | |

Macross Missile Massacre/Recursive Ammo: Big Blast Divider!. Used in the second half of the series, Combattler V can release a giant blue rocket from its stomach. In this version, the rocket can also split into dozens of cluster missiles. | |

Nothing Can Stop Us Now! | |
| Combattler V / int_8d189cee | comment |
Nothing Can Stop Us Now!: This is used disturbingly frequently by Prince Garuda. When he blew Hyouma's arms off, when he blackmailed the Japanese Government to blow up the Nanbara Connection, when he deceived the Japanese police to get the Battle Team arrested... You would think he would learn to STOP Tempting Fate after the first time... | |

Additionally, the head of the radical faction of Campbellians serve as this to Janera, as they were the ones that ordered Janera to go, but they're beaten off-screen by someone else. | |

Transforming Mecha: In addition to combining, Combattler can fold itself up into a tank-like vehicle called the Grand Dasher, though this isn't used very often in the anime proper. Appears far more prominently in Super Robot Wars games, wherein Voltes V rides around on it like a skateboard during their combination attacks. | |

Spin Attack | |
| Combattler V / int_d34590cf | comment |
Spin Attack: Combattler's Finishing Move "Choudenji Spin". Combattler replaced its hands with triangular blades, spinning quickly to shape a tornado around its body, and ram through its enemy. Justified, since often he is fighting a single Beast, and before using the move, Combattler paralyzes its enemy with an electrical discharge ("Choudenji Tatsumaki") so it does not move. | |

Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: Being given an invitation to the Nanbara Connections, passport and document included, meant that the Combattler team could not be arrested. That was how Hyouma got away with causing various accidents driving his bike, how Juzo got away with pointing a real rifle with real bullets at a conductor, how Daisaku managed to hitch a ride on a truck despite the regulations, or how Kosuke managed to bypass airport security procedure despite his age. | |

Once per Episode: To combine their vehicles -needless to say, it happened every episode-, the team yells "Let's combine", and if they were ready to combine correctly, Ropetto authorized the combination repeating: "Combine OK". And then you have the Finishing Move ("Choudenji Tatsumaki" and "Choudenji Spin") that were used every episode. | |

In his first appearance, he causes a traffic accident because he breaks the speed limit and several patrol cars try to catch him. All of his chasers crash into each other, but of course, he avoids crashing. | |

They reconcile when Kenji pulls a Heroic Sacrifice to save the Battle Team. | |

Bring It Back Alive: Tragically played with. In episode 10 Dr. Yotsuya and the team are studying an unknown creature hatched from a giant egg which mysteriously appeared in the city. When the strange animal gets upset, it escapes its containment and starts to cause havoc, and Juuzo wants to shoot it down instantly, much to the displeasure of Doctor Yotsuya, who wants to study it, and to the anger of Hyouma who is Conveniently an Orphan who Wouldn't Hurt a Child. Unfortunately, Juzo manages to kill it before they can stop him... which is exactly what The Dragon wanted. | |
