Dangaioh - Hyper Combat Unit (破邪大星ダンガイオー or 破邪大星弾劾凰, Haja Taisei DangaiÅ�) is an anime OVA series produced by AIC studios and released in Japan in 1987. Dangaioh featured character designs by creator Toshiki Hirano note at the time of this series' production, he was going by his real name, Toshihiro Hirano, but later started going by his current stage name, mechanical designs by Shoji Kawamori, animation direction by Masami Obari, and key animation by Hideaki Annonote Along with Obari and Kawamori, among others. A sort-of sequel named Great Dangaioh (破邪巨星Gダンガイオー, Haja Kyosei Gureito DangaiÅ�) aired in 2001, but ended after only thirteen episodes out of a planned 26 due to poor reception.It starts when a young girl named Mia Alice wakes up all of a sudden in a spaceship, frightened and confused and with her memories erased. A strange voice tells her that she's been abducted and transformed into a cyborg, due to her extremely strong Psychic Powers; soon she and other people in her same situation will be sold out as cyber soldiers to the highest bidder, alongside the Super Robot Dangaioh.Mia, however, only wants to go back home. She also has a vague hint of who she truly is... she remembers having been a Ordinary High-School Student in Tokyo. Soon she meets up with the other three potential Dangaioh pilots: former La Résistance member Roll Kuran, Hot-Blooded Pai Thunder, and Naïve Everygirl Lamda Nom. The four decide to team up and see what they can do to recover their freedom and fight their common enemy: their potential employer, Captain Garimoth....

Daddy's Little Villain: Subverted tremendously: Pai was actually Barius, the daughter of Garimoth, and had a Face–Heel Turn once she recovered her memories. But when Garimoth told her to kill Roll before taking her back, Pai rebelled and rejoined the group.

Bittersweet Ending: By virtue of the OVA's being cancelled. Gil Berg is defeated at the end of the third episode, but at the cost of not only Dr. Tarsan but Team Dangaioh as well! Or so Garimoth thinks; they survive, albeit unconscious and adrift in their severely damaged mecha.

Proud Warrior Race Guy: Pai, who even refuses to team work and address Mia's leadership because Mia's much more peaceful. She's actually really Barius, the daughter of pirate warlord The Banker/Garimoth. Once her father tries to force her kill one of her classmates and Mia bails her out, she accepts Mia as the leaderess.
