Beast King GoLion (百獣王ゴライオン, Hyaku Jūō Goraion) is a Combining Mecha from Toeinote Not Toei Animation; the series was conceived by the main Toei company, but the animation was handled by other studios, with Nakamura Productions on character designs that aired in 1981-82. The show aired Wednesdays at 6pm on TV Tokyo note Originally Tokyo 12 Channel, which became TV Tokyo in October 1981, during the show's run. and was syndicated to other stations across Japan. Since shows like this were a dime a dozen in Japan (TV Tokyo actually devoted the weekday 6pm time slot to robot anime at this time, with a different show airing each day), it unfortunately got overlooked. But elsewhere, including the US, where Humongous Mecha shows were still practically unheard of, it got recognition as the lion robot of Voltron.The show takes place in the then-future year of 1999, and Earth has just been hit by World War III, and all the cities are nuked. Five space academy students come across the ruins, and before they even have time to grieve, they are taken as slaves by ships of the Galra Empire. They manage to escape, are nearly shot down, but are pulled in by a mysterious force from the planet Altea.Stumbling across a ruined castle, they meet Princess Fala, the last survivor of the planet's royal family after the Galra empire ravaged the planet, and her advisor Raible. They determine that the explorers are there to pilot Golion, a robot that was unrivaled in battle thousands of years ago, but split into five lions after he tried to take on a goddess.So the pilots form Golion, and become the protectors of Altea (including Fala herself after one of the pilots is killed), and eventually overthrow the Galra empire.Even though the series never took off in Japan as well as Voltron elsewhere, it does have a cult following. In Italy, where the first 26 episodes aired dubbed in 1982 - two years before Voltron even existed - GoLion is arguably more popular than Voltron, although Voltron was also released in Italy in 1986, creating a Dueling Dubs situation. Also, GoLion appeared in Super Robot Wars W.See also Dairugger XV.

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other
 GoLion / int_10dcbe05
comment
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: There are times when Sincline and his father appear to genuinely care for each other, especially in the beginning when Sincline was introduced when they hug, and his father calls him his beloved son and Sincline tries to restore his father's honor. It seems as Sincline's obsession with Golion and Fala grows, so does his hatred for his father.

comment
Darker and Edgier: It never quite matches the works of Go Nagai or Yoshiyuki Tomino, but it's still a fair bit more brutal than most kid-friendly Super Robot shows of its day and downright shocking to anybody who's more familiar with Voltron. It's particularly notable the way the director seems to take perverse delight in causing secondary or unnamed characters to drop like flies, most notably most of the entire population of Earth in the first episode (one episode indicates that there were at least a few survivors who later became prisoners as a human girl with psychic powers agrees to be a saboteur in order to win freedom for the other prisoners and her older brother volunteers to become a half-beastman for the same reason.) The Galra Empire also stood out as one of the most brutal galaxy-wide enemies, playing Always Chaotic Evil straight and showcases just exactly what happens when they have enough power: Successful invasions, images of death and slavery always follow wherever Galra goes throughout the galaxy (Though notably, the destruction of Earth wasn't Galra's fault in the first place). They also have harem scenes if the violence was not enough (though they do not show 'action'.). The series would likely get a R-17 rating even in cartoon/animated form in the US if rated.

Obviously Evil: The people of Galran Empire royalties are purple-skinned humanoid that looked rather vicious, its advisor is a witch shrouded in black and does satanic ritual from time to time, its Mook are clad in black steel and has vicious eyes, and its normal people looked beastly. There's no need to know for what they're actually capable of (which is even worse) to recognize them as a bunch of evil people.

Precision F-Strike: When Castle Gradam rises, Fala shoots down the Battle Beast fighting GoLion with a turret while yelling something very un-Princess-like, somewhere along the line of "Son of a bitch!". It's not clear when she's apologizing, it's for accidentally doing a friendly fire on GoLion or just realizing she gave an F-Strike unbefitting of a princess.

To Serve Man: Alien example. Members of various alien races who are brought to Galra as slaves are split into two groups; Those who are capable of fighting are kept for entertainment in gladiatorial combat against Beastmen, or get turned into them. Those who are too weak to be of any use are cooked into a stew that is used as food for Beastmen and other slaves. Same fate befalls those slaves who die in gladiatorial combat.
