Robot Romance Trilogy | comment |
The Robot Romance Trilogy is a Thematic Series of three Super Robot television anime produced by Toei and animated by Sunrise that were aired during the late 1970s.All three shows were credited to "Saburo Yatsude" (a collective pseudonym for Toei's staff) and directed by Tadao Nagahama. Yoshiyuki Tomino collaborated in at least two of them.The trilogy is notable for presenting more complex storylines than those of most other Super Robot shows at the time, and indeed, the idea behind the trilogy was to create something that wasn't simply an overly long toy commercial. They also showed up fairly often in the early days of the Super Robot Wars video game series, although Combattler V and Voltes V have appeared more often than Daimos (an easy explanation of this is that the two used the same energy source, "Super Electromagnetic/Choudenji", which makes for easier crossover implementation).Voltes V and Daimos in particular are very famous in the Philippines, as anime used to be Banned in the Philippines under the Ferdinand Marcos regime. Due to both shows dealing rather heavily with civil wars and/or resistance of some sort or another, they became movement mascots against Marcos isolationism, with Voltes in particular becoming a genuine Filipino cultural icon, far more famous there than in Japan.For All There in the Manual information, see the Roman Robo Anime Climax Selection and Tadao Nagahama: Robot Romance Animation Chronicle Infobook.Has a sequel manga.If you want to watch how most of the tropes used in the trilogy were born, watch the Mazinger saga (Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger and UFO Robo Grendizer) and Getter Robo. If you want to watch how those tropes are deconstructed, watch Zambot3, Space Runaway Ideon and Neon Genesis Evangelion. If you want contrasting how those tropes are used in other kind of Humongous Mecha shows, watch Mobile Suit Gundam -and other series of the franchise- and Patlabor. Watch Raideen to know about their immediate forefather and GoLion (or Voltron) to learn about their most famous heir. If you want to see how the Super Robot Genre is made nowadays, watch GaoGaiGar and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Lastly, if you are interested in more Yoshiyuki Tomino shows, watch Daitarn3, Aura Battler Dunbine, Xabungle or Overman King Gainer. | |

Motion-Capture Mecha: Mazinger Z showed hints of it and its Korean rip-off Taekwon V started it, but Daimos properly introduced the trope in anime. | |

Character Development - Humans Are Flawed: The three series touched on serious themes like Parental Abandonment (explored very seriously in Voltes V) and all kinds of racial-based prejudices (especially the Fantastic Racism in Voltes V and Daimos). | |

Humans Are Bastards | |
Robot Romance Trilogy / int_3d4d3dc9 | comment |
Humans Are Bastards: Plays with the trope, mixing it with... Rousseau Was Right: In a nutshell, many characters -on both sides- think humans are scum and they are not worthy of anything... but there always are good people that makes them reconsider. Professor Yotsuya bluntly says he hates humanity in the SECOND episode of the first series. Still, he got forced to follow his friend's last will and help the Combattler team fight the Campbellians. He managed to regain his faith on humanity in the process, even if his newfound faith was often tested. | |

Robot Romance Trilogy / int_4832a3bb | comment |
Always Chaotic Evil: Subverted or averted. The Campbellians attacking Earth were only a tiny rebel faction. The Boazanians were not evil, but they were led by a corrupt ruling class and a greedy emperor. The Baam-Seijin were no more good or evil than your average Earth inhabitant. | |

Falling into the Cockpit | |
Robot Romance Trilogy / int_522811b8 | comment |
Falling into the Cockpit: Combattler V played it straight with the main characters. The first time they deployed Combattler, they handled it reasonably well in spite of the fact Chizuru was the only pilot could be expected having got basic training. It was justified later: there is a computer built into each one of their helmets, and it help them to pilot it. And it was deconstructed, too. In one episode, a child, Kotaro, snuck into the cockpit, thinking he could use Hyouma's helmet to drive Combattler. As a matter of fact, he could not, and he almost got himself -and everyone else- killed. This prompts Hyouma to punish both Kotaro and Ropet at the end of said episode by making them stand while wearing signs and tells them to think about what they had done. It was apparently played straight but quickly subverted in Voltes V: When the Voltes Team was roughly shoved into their vehicles, Kenichi protested they didn't know how to drive them. Then his mother reminded him flatly they HAD got training to pilot aircrafts. Daimos justified the trope: Kazuya was a space pilot but nobody had taught him to pilot Daimos before shoving him into the cockpit. However, his Motion-Capture Mecha was piloted through a mental interface, allowing him to pilot it and use his martial arts to fight (and still in the first battle he needed to be informed of Daimos' weapons). | |

Robot Romance Trilogy / int_595a20c9 | comment |
Chest Blaster: Combattler-V has the Grand Light Wave Rail and Grand Dasher, where it forms a tangible energy trail from its chest, turns into a tank-like vehicle and rams down its opponents. Voltes-V has the Voltes Laser and Choudenji Wave from the yellow orb on his chest, and the Grand Fire from where is "belt buckle" is. They are just minor weapons though. His BFS, the Ten Kuu Ken, on the other hand, is sheathed on his chest. Daimos has Double Blizzard, where the torso of the robot opens and launches throws two freezing tornadoes at its enemies. Later it got upgraded to Fire Blizzard. | |

Arm Cannon | |
Robot Romance Trilogy / int_6400a34 | comment |
Arm Cannon: Combattler-V is the king of this trope among Humongous Mecha. He is equipped with Atomic Burner (its hands withdraw inside its arms and are replaced with a flamethrower), Rock Fighter (it shoots missiles from its fingers), Battle Guleggar (Combattler releases a chain with metal collar from the arms, used for grabbing opponents by the neck) and Magne Claw (Combattler's wrists shot a spiked, square projectile). Voltes-V's Voltes Bazooka. The entire weapon is hidden in his right arm, and is deployed by tilting the right hand downward (which also becomes the weapon's grip held by the left hand) allowing the barrel to telescope out of the arm. Daimos has the Daimos Chain Shark, two chains with a hook shoot from above Daimos' hands. They can be used to deal damage or to drag the enemy. | |

Kazuya Ryuuzaki. His emotions are not like a flood; they are like a bloody tsunami. When he is infatuated, he walks over with a silly, fond smile. When he is upset and sorrowful, he sobs loudly, cries Manly Tears and even punches walls. When he is pissed off... don't bother writing a will. There will be nothing left of you after he is through with you. And God helps you if you make Erika upset... | |

Robot Romance Trilogy / int_8b6de1eb | comment |
Airborne Aircraft Carrier: Combattler V: Several of them: Graydon's was The Dragon Garuda's personal aircraft, and its specs included slave monster production, missiles from its top, levitation even while underwater, an underside tractor beam, teleportation, a buzzsaw hidden in one of six wings, and a pink heat ray; Bromber, Warchamides' attack saucer could levitate even underwater, an underside tractor beam, yellow eye lasers, and missile launchers at the midsection; and Santomagma, Big Bad Empress Janera's warship used in the final episode. It was heavily armour-plated and its capabilities included tornadoes from its underside, spike missiles from the carapace, mouth flamethrower, freezing wind from front and side mouths, launch-able front and side heads, fangs strong enough to break a Made of Indestructium Humongous Mecha, and laser beam bolts from all four heads. Voltes V: Boazanian Flagships, Zeltan and Sugoshin Godor, all of them equipped with formidable weapons and even Deflector Shields. Daimos: Guranrol and Cobrard. Both could carry around combat troops and several Mecha Soldiers. The first was equipped with giant missiles and four giant blades that could be turned into giant spinning cutters. The second was equipped with four-headed cobras that fired green lasers and a turret shot tinier missiles. | |

Combattler-V: To combine their vehicles -needless to say, it happened every episode-, the team yelled "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. | |

Robot Romance Trilogy / int_b6ae5569 | comment |
Transforming Mecha: Daimos is one of the first examples that did it regularly, but Combattler V also had the Grand Dasher attack later on in the series. | |

Rocket Punch | |
Robot Romance Trilogy / int_c96e8bb5 | comment |
Rocket Punch: The trilogy gives us several variants: Combattler-V is equipped with Battle Guleggar (Combattler releases a chain with metal collar from the arms, used for grabbing opponents by the neck) and Magne Claw (Combattler's hands withdraw into its arms and its wrists shot a spiked, square projectile). Voltes-V, very similarly to Neo Getter Robo, has the Chain Knuckle, a Rocket Punch on a chain, but swapping the fist out for a nasty-looking mace. Daimos has the Daimos Chain Shark, two chains with a hook shoot from above Daimos' hands. They can be used to deal damage or to drag the enemy. | |

Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better | |
Robot Romance Trilogy / int_ccab244d | comment |
Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better: All robots were equipped with energy-based weapons, but more often than not, they used missiles, flamethrowers, or blunt and bladed weapons. Kazuya, of course, used Daimos' fists and legs mainly. | |

Robot Romance Trilogy / int_dacedfa8 | comment |
If It Swims, It Flies: Battle Marine and Volt Frigate, the machines that form the Combattler and Voltes' legs respectively, are able to swim and fly (and Battle Marine also carries around the Battle Tank, that cannot fly on its own). | |

Humongous Mecha | |
Robot Romance Trilogy / int_e6f18344 | comment |
Combattler-V is the king of this trope among Humongous Mecha. He is equipped with Atomic Burner (its hands withdraw inside its arms and are replaced with a flamethrower), Rock Fighter (it shoots missiles from its fingers), Battle Guleggar (Combattler releases a chain with metal collar from the arms, used for grabbing opponents by the neck) and Magne Claw (Combattler's wrists shot a spiked, square projectile). | |

Voltes-V: Again, the team every episode yelled "Let's Volt In!" to combine in Voltes-V. And every episode they killed the Monster of the Week with the V-Slash. | |

Rousseau Was Right: In a nutshell, many characters -on both sides- think humans are scum and they are not worthy of anything... but there always are good people that makes them reconsider. | |

Once per Episode | |
Robot Romance Trilogy / int_f05444a4 | comment |
Once per Episode: Combattler-V: To combine their vehicles -needless to say, it happened every episode-, the team yelled "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. Voltes-V: Again, the team every episode yelled "Let's Volt In!" to combine in Voltes-V. And every episode they killed the Monster of the Week with the V-Slash. Daimos: Every episode, to transform and activate Daimos, Kazuya yelled "Daimos, Battle Turn!", -pretty uselessly- as performing a kata with his arms. | |

Robot Romance Trilogy / int_f56aeb67 | comment |
Alien Invasion: It happens in all three series. Subverted in Daimos, since the Baam-Seijin had not planned on invading our planet and they intended to negotiate to settle peacefully. Too bad the Big Bad had other plans. | |
