Sei Juushi Bismarck	comment	Sei Juushi Bismarck takes place far in the future, when much of the solar system has been colonized by humanity. However, a race of alien invaders known as the Deathcula launched an attack 15 years before the story began, but were repelled.Now, the Deathcula have returned and set their sights on Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter undergoing colonization. In response to their attacks on isolated towns and garrisons, the Earth Federation creates the Bismarck Team: a squad of four explorers aboard the experimental ship Bismarck.Shinji Hikari, team leader, race car driver and main pilot. Bill Wilcox, gunslinger, ace pilot and weapons expert. Richard Lancelot, swordsman, equestrian and all-round ace. Marianne Louvre, daughter of the Bismarck's creator who also had a hand in its development and so knows it better than most. Their goal: to protect the colonists of Gandymede (and later the citizens of the solar system) from the malevolent Deathcula imperium.Although not as popular as Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs, an Americanized (and arguably Macekred) dub produced by World Events Productions, it is more sophisticated—and unlike Saber Rider, it does have action figure toys in its own country.

Sei Juushi Bismarck / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: Compared to Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs. Deathcula disintegrate upon death (rather than being sent back to the Vapour Zone as in Saber Rider), and there are multiple reaction shots of people both human and Deathcula screaming as they're consumed in explosions. There are also several on-screen shootings of people.

Sei Juushi Bismarck / int_33b4e7f	comment	Helmets Are Hardly Heroic: Generally, the team is very good about keeping their helmets on when responding to a Deathcula attack on foot. However, there were a few occasions where, after surveying the aftermath of an attack and thinking the Deathcula forces have left, they remove their helmets to discuss things (seemingly for comfort's sake). When such occasions turn into a firefight because Deathcula was waiting to ambush them, generally they don their helmets as soon as possible, or when it's safe to do so (e.g. Bill shooting his attackers and making sure no hostiles are around before putting his helmet back on).

Sei Juushi Bismarck / int_41dd77d	comment	Zerg Rush: The basic Deathcula tactic is to overwhelm the enemy with masses of small, one-man attack craft launching missiles and blaster fire from all directions. It's actually very effective, and even the Bismarck has almost been overwhelmed. Unfortunately for Deathcula, in the final few episodes the Federation uses the same tactic against them... except the Federation forces are much, much, much bigger and use freaking warships instead of one-man attack craft.

In one particular attack, a Deathcula marine encounters a trio of young teenagers, one of whom tries to shoot him. The marine responds by chucking a grenade into the room, killing them all. In addition, the massacre of the Mars colonists almost assuredly included children.

This isn't really their fault: generally the distress signal comes in when the attack has already begun, and the Deathcula battle tactics involve overwhelming defenders before help can arrive.

Sei Juushi Bismarck / int_7317b97d	comment	Awakening the Sleeping Giant: Towards the end of the series Deathcula successfully tricks the Federation into signing a peace accord and allowed to settle on Mars alongside the human colonists who're already there. They then launch a massive assault, massacring just about the entire population. In response, the Federation musters a massive war fleet and proceed to curb stomp them into oblivion. They don't even need Bismarck's help; even Deathcula's feared giant robots crumbled under the unending assault. By the time the battle is over, all that's left of the Deathcula species is on their space station, and it's destroyed by the Bismarck team. It's hinted that the only reason Deathcula even manages to do as well as they do is because the Federation just didn't really consider them a big threat and at most just raiders. Once they massacre the population of Mars, however, the Federation unites in the cause of vengeance and wipes them out.

For her part, it seems that Marianne is simply eager to pick up their friendship where they left off, in one early episode making him a garland of flowers like she did when they were younger. It should be pointed out that even by the end of the series when the two are now a couple, there's no big confession scene where they explicitly start dating.

Sei Juushi Bismarck / int_83641c73	comment	Logical Weakness: Deathcula's combining mecha are generally more fragile than their humanoid ones, since they're generally made up of mundane-looking vehicles and the connection joints tend to be weak points. In fact, Bismarck is fully capable of destroying them without transforming into Battleload mode. Justified in that the combining mecha tend to be used as ambush machines relying on surprise against soft targets, as opposed to the humanoid mecha that are outright war machines. As mighty as the Bismarck is, it's still only one ship. As such, the Deathcula Zerg Rush battle tactics occasionally come close to bringing it down.
