Space Runaway Ideon (a.k.a. �説巨神イデオン, Densetsu Kyojin Ideon, lit. Legendary Giant God Ideon, also The Ideon) is a 1980 Super Robot Genre, Mecha Show anime. It was the project that Yoshiyuki Tomino worked on directly after Mobile Suit Gundam. As with its sister series, it had its run cut short, it was planned for 43 episodes but got pulled after 39. The last 4 episodes were made into the movie Be Invoked (with help from Sanrio Animation). Due to its angsty and bizarre ending, it is often cited as a close inspiration for Neon Genesis Evangelion (Hideaki Anno himself describes Evangelion as Ideon meets Devilman).The story goes as follows: A group of Terran colonists on a remote planet find a Cool Starship and three bulky starfighters that combine into a Super Robot. The ship and the robot contain the so-called Ide, a source of infinite energy, which a militaristic alien-but-actually-human civilization called Buff Clan is after. This results in a Strategy of the Week format as the Buff Clan (unsuccessfully) employs increasingly more devastating technologies and renowned military commanders to bring down the Solo ship and to get their hands on Ideon. Along the way, many folks die, and the Solo crew screw up their relationships with other Terran colonies and the Earth itself, all of whom now want Ide for themselves. On top of all that, it also becomes apparent that Ideon has a will of its own and that it is displeased with the humans' wars and infighting...Yoshiyuki Tomino apparently wants to make a remake of it. Complete with the death scenes.

Creator Cameo: Mr. Tomino is briefly seen as a crew member of the Solo Ship in Be Invoked. This most likely means even Tomino won't escape death in a Tomino story.

All There in the Manual: The official website offers several insights into the main characters' backgrounds and motivations: Gije was originally appointed as Karala's fiancee by the Doba family due to his skills, and due to the same qualities, he was eventually appointed as the leader of Buff Clan's research team on the Ide. Kasha was separated from her parents when she was a child and was subsequently raised in a military facility, leading to her hardheaded personality.

Poor Communication Kills
 Space Runaway Ideon / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: AND HOW! While the first act might come off as a horrible instance of poor communication between the Earth immigrants and Buff Clan, any attempt to actually facilitate proper communication between both sides afterward always fails horribly. Considering Ideon's plan to destroy the universe's sapient life, it might have deliberately pushed this trope to its logical extreme so that its plan won't be foiled.

Genre Deconstruction
 Space Runaway Ideon / int_23e32a30
comment
Genre Deconstruction: One of the earliest for the Humongous Mecha genre. It does not shy away from showing exactly what a Humongous Mecha would be used for in real life: war. And it is destructive on a scale we can't imagine. In order for the Ideon to function, it needs an ungodly amount of power. The Ide is what supplies it the power needed in order to move. While most Humongous Mecha shows would use that to Handwave how the giant robot functions, it doesn't get glossed over here, as its infinite fuel source is the driving force for much of the conflict that happens in the story. When you have something that can supply infinite energy, everyone will be gunning for it, even if it means war. Like other Super Robot shows, the Ideon is an Empathic Weapon that is influenced by those who pilot it. In a scary twist, the show reveals this goes both ways, and the Ideon begins to influence the crew that use it to carry out its will. And what does it want? Nothing less than the total eradication of all sentient life.

comment
First Church of Mecha: The Ideon is worshiped by parts of the Buff Clan's culture as the legendary "Giant of Ide". Depending on the interpretation of the beliefs though, Ideon is either a savior of all who live or a destroyer of the universe.

Fire-Forged Friends
 Space Runaway Ideon / int_2493b31d
comment
Fire-Forged Friends: Karala and the Solo ship crew members, particularly Sheryl and Cosmo. Initially, they don't trust her because she's from the Buff Clan and blame her for the deaths of their family and friends. Even after Karala is declared a traitor by her people, the distrust is still there. However, after Sheryl's failed attempt to desert the Solo ship, Karala takes the blame so that there's no fallout within the crew. By then, both Cosmo and Sheryl realize what Karala did and start to become friendly to her. Also Gije and the Solo ship crew members though, unlike Karala, the tension is present after what Gije did in the first half. Gije is aware of this and is ready to accept whatever fate is in store for him. Though several members such as Cosmo recognize his piloting skills and after he becomes the pilot for Sol-Vainer, Gije is slowly accepted as a member of the Solo Ship.

Wave-Motion Gun: The Ideon Gun, despite also being known as the Wave Leader Gun, is actually an aversion/subversion to the trope, as it doesn't fire the standard beam found within Wave Motion Guns. Rather, it fires miniature black holes in the form of a tornado of pure gravity. Needless to say, entire fleets tend to explode wherever it's aimed. Not to mention the Buff Clan's Gando Rowa, which doubles as a spaceship AND a really, really big WMG!

Offing the Offspring: Doba Ajiba is disappointed in Karala for her reckless actions and siding with the humans. In the last episode and Be Invoked, they met again through Ide but he warns her that she must explain herself before he plans to toss her out of the airlock. When Karala reveals that she's pregnant with Bes' child, he's so disgusted by it that he tries to kill her on the spot. As Karala and Joliver escape, Doba orders his men to kill at all costs. After Harulu does the deed in the movie, Doba approves it.

Plot Armor: Deconstructed. The main cast survives impossible odds and forces that easily destroy entire planets, despite being Rag Tag Bunch Of Misfits who have barely any idea what they're doing. The ultimate reason however is that the Ideon is a Mechanical Abomination that needs a strong enough desire from one of them to be able to doom all of the current reality.

Fantastic Nuke: The Ideon is a sci-fi metaphor for nuclear weapons and Mutually Assured Destruction. It has the power to wipe out everything, and yet it can't be actually destroyed. So the only way to avoid this eventuality is to not fight. But, since humanity is incapable of this, in the end they trigger a mutually assured destruction that causes the death of everyone.

Compilation Movie: The second Ideon film, A Contact, is a compilation of the first 32 episodes of the anime, compressing them into a roughly 85-90 minute runtime and adding some new footage to smooth over the arc transitions. Although it came out before Be Invoked, the fact it's just a retread of the series in contrast to how Be Invoked is the canonical ending of the series means most fans ignore A Contact.

Doom Magnet: The Earth colonies and the rest of Earthlings regard the Solo Ship as a threat because they're always followed by the Buff Clan which brought destruction and death and they carry the most powerful weapon that could destroy the universe. It's expected that they blame the crew for the mess they're in and they wouldn't hesitate to attack them. Then, it turns out the Solo Ship is directly responsible for the meteors that were sent to both Earth and Buff.

Love Hurts: With this kind of series where Anyone Can Die, expect tragedy to occur. Kitty Kitten's death. In the TV series, Cosmo was unconscious when this happens but when he wakes up, he's heartbroken. In Be Invoked, he witnesses her gruesome death and sees her head flying off. Moera dies in episode 33 which really devastated Rapoh, the ship's doctor who has a crush on him. After learning of Gije's death, Sheryl goes into an emotional breakdown while she's still mourning her sister's death. She even exclaims why the people she loved end up dying. In Be Invoked, Bes loses Karala and his unborn child in the hands of Harulu while Cosmo is devastated to learn that Kasha died.

Pretty Little Headshots: Subverted with Karala who takes three bullets in the face from her sister Harulu; however, we don't see the results.

Downer Ending: Everyone dies. Doba Ajiba's final trump card leads to the death of the entire human race and the Buff Clan, including everyone in the Solo Ship, with Ideon and the Gando Rowa pulling a Mutual Kill and then Ideon causing a massive explosion that wipes out the solar system. The show ends on the idea this may be an Eternal Recurrence, and the audience is left to hope the next form of sentient life can overcome the failings the previous version of humanity could not.

Mirroring Factions
 Space Runaway Ideon / int_4f6cf75
comment
Mirroring Factions: It's been mentioned many times that the Buff Clan and humanity are very similar which helps that the distance between Earth and Buff Clan's home planet is parallel with each other and there are instances where some Buff Clan commanders and the Earth Alliance leaders forge an alliance to destroy the Solo Ship and Ideon. Karala believes that there's a possibility that both groups can coexist peacefully, Unfortunately, her father remains stubborn, leading to another battle that killed Karala and her unborn child. Because of this, the Ide confirms that regardless of the similarities, there's no hope for a peaceful resolution between the Buff Clan and humanity. In the end, the Ide had both species wiped out.

Death Wail: After witnessing the death of Commander Camyula and defeating the Buff clan forces that ambushed the base, Cosmo yells in anguish and swears to destroy the Buff Clan. Even the mecha Ideon itself lets a heartwrenching but terrifying roar, giving an indication that it can feel Cosmo's pain.

Like other Super Robot shows, the Ideon is an Empathic Weapon that is influenced by those who pilot it. In a scary twist, the show reveals this goes both ways, and the Ideon begins to influence the crew that use it to carry out its will. And what does it want? Nothing less than the total eradication of all sentient life.

She considers her a lost cause and chooses to forsake her. Upon learning that Karala got pregnant with a human, Harulu is disgusted by this and kills her and her unborn son not only out of jealousy because Karala gets to be with the man she loved but also to salvage her family's reputation and keep the bloodlines pure.

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Despite their warlike tendencies and unwillingness to stop chasing Ide, many Buff Clan members have loved ones to go back to, exemplified by Abadede's love for his family and Daram and Harulu's relationship. While she never stops having a stern appearance in front of her forces, Harulu has a small moment when she breaks down from the stress of chasing Ide in Be Invoked and calls for Daram's help (who's already long dead at that point) during that moment.

Maligned Mixed Marriage: Though they're not married, Bes and Karala's relationship is seen like this in the eyes of Doba and Harulu. They are both disgusted that not only Karala's actions led to a never-ending war but her getting into a relationship with a man who is on the opposing side and having a child on the way is considered treasonous for them. Doba even approves Harulu's murder of Karala because this is the way to salvage their reputation and keep the bloodlines pure. Unfortunately, their attitude slowly leads to Ide's invocation which is something Doba realizes too late.

Cosmic Horror Story: The Ide is a god of infinite power who either wants all sapient life in the universe dead from the start for their repeated acts of violence and war or is conducting a final Humanity on Trial test before it takes this last step. It deliberately manipulates the emotions of the crew of the Solo Ship to accomplish its desires, which the crew becomes increasingly aware of over the show. Many, like Sheryl, are even broken by the fact they have no control over what is happening or even their own minds anymore. This finally comes to a head in the movie, where the Ide forces a Despair Event Horizon so it can get the crew to wish for everything to be "fixed". And once Ideon is invoked by those desires, it uses its Your Mind Makes It Real powers to do just that... by wiping out humanity and restarting the universe.

Because You Were Nice to Me: How Bes and Karala's relationship came to be because the former mistook the latter as an Earth colonist and asked her out for a date during their first meeting. Even after learning who she is, Bes still treats her nicely regardless of how most of the crew members feel about her. He is the first human who accepts her for who she is and is willing to listen to her advice. It helps that he saved her when she was humiliated by her older sister.

Gainax Ending: As a result of suddenly having to cut down the episode count from 43 to 39 with little warning, the ending of the original anime is... bizarre to say the least. Not to mention incredibly sudden. The war is going on and then the Ideon just suddenly explodes in a flash of light killing everyone. Fortunately the movies helped to give the series a more proper, if still strange, conclusion.

Interspecies Romance: You got Bes and Karala where their first meeting is the former mistaking the latter as one of the newly arrived colonists and then, ask her for a date. After he learns who she really is, he does his job as a soldier where he interrogates her about Ideon and the Buff clan despite Cosmo, Kasha, and Sheryl warning him not to fully trust her. Regardless of the stress and mistrust within the Solo Ship crew, Bes welcomes Karala with open arms and accepts her for who she is. Eventually, they fall in love with each other, and their love results in their unborn child, Messiah. There's also Sheryl and Gije. Their first meeting is actually antagonistic where Sheryl holds him and Karala at gunpoint after correctly suspecting them as aliens. Then, Gije responds by shooting and punching her. Many episodes later, Gije ends up joining the Solo Ship after being abandoned by his superiors and saving Sheryl from being ambushed by the Moonland survivors. By then, the two became close due to their shared interest in Ideon.

Big Bad: At first you'd think it'd be the leader of the Buff Clan, Emperor Zuou Habel Gande, or their military commander, Karala's Archnemesis Dad, Doba. The real main villain is either the Ideon or all of humanity. The machine is alive and seeks to wipe out all sentient life for its repeated acts of violence and war. And either they've already failed its test, or the entire show is sentient life failing in their last opportunity to save themselves because they can't stop fighting each other even in the face of extinction.

Stern Chase: The Buff clan, no matter if it's Harulu's or Gije's forces, would never stop chasing the Solo Ship until they get their hands on Ideon. It doesn't help that Gije placed a tracker on the ship and not one of the crew realizes it until he tells them about it after his defection. But even without the tracker, the Buff clan still follows them to the point where some of the crew members speculate that Ide might have been responsible for it.

Cosmic Plaything: The crew of the Solo Ship feel this is what they are, as everywhere they go they are attacked and they can't even leave the Solo Ship and Ideon lest the Ide, its infinite power source, falls into the wrong hands and dooms everyone. It only gets worse when they start to realize the Ide is sentient, wants them there as well, and is even manipulating their very emotions for its own ends.

I Have No Son!: In episode 31, Bes' parents disinherit him after he disobeys the military's order to give up Ideon and the Solo Ship to them. Bes understands that this is for the best of them because he knows how powerful Ideon is and he doesn't want anyone outside the Solo Ship crew to be dragged into the chaos that he and the crew brought since the beginning. Doba Ajiba, Karala's father, considers her a disgrace because many of their soldiers died and when they finally meet, he wouldn't hesitate to kill her.

Hope Spot: Ide teleports Karala and Joliver to Doba's main ship so that the father and daughter can meet and settle in ending the conflict between the two races once and for all. Unfortunately, Doba remains angry at his daughter for the trouble that she has caused. Despite Karala telling him that she's pregnant with Bes' child, who represents the hope that the two races can coexist peacefully, Doba is still disgusted by it and tries to kill her. Karala goes into defense telling her father that in order to protect her baby, she's ready to kill him. That meeting is supposed to be the last chance for the two races to make peace given by the Ide but instead, both the father and daughter blew it up with the former, declaring that he would stop at nothing to destroy Ideon and the Solo Ship. It's no wonder Ideon ends up invoking and destroying the the whole solar system they were in because it got sick and tired of the conflict.

Shout-Out
 Space Runaway Ideon / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Several of Buff Clan's mecha are modeled after the Martians' tripod from The War of the Worlds. One episode of the series is named "Violent Battle on the Planet of the Apes'', and its closing shot features an alien ape-man holding a bone and tapping it on the ground inquisitively. The Ideon is a technology left by a possibly extinct civilization powered by the Ide/Id, like the Krell Machine of Forbidden Planet was a technology left by an extinct civilization powered by the Id from its users. In some scenes, Sandworms are visible which look extremely similar to those of Dune. The ending of Be Invoked has some planet scenes similar to 2001: A Space Odyssey. In episode #7, Karala says that her homeworld is next to the Gido nebula, whose 2 halves are called Zenji nebula and Gundam nebula.

Hypocrite: Many characters are this when one really looks at their words and compares them to their actions. Gije is one of the most obvious stating to fight honorably when casually killing defenseless civilians. Especially noticeable when the main characters reach a friendly planet and Gije attacks said planet via Sub-Light Missiles that destroy entire cities, killing millions, then threatens to kill off 90% of the population in the same way if Ideon and the Solo ship aren't given to him, then he has the gall to call the defenders a "Brutal Race" for fighting back instead of giving into his demands.

Eternal Recurrence
 Space Runaway Ideon / int_d8f3dc8
comment
Eternal Recurrence: One theory inspired by the ending of Be Invoked is that the Ideon has repeatedly arisen to test multiple incarnations of sapient life, only to destroy them when they proved unworthy, and that the spirits of the dead are being led by Messiah to a reincarnation and eventually the return of the Ideon for its deadly test. A variant theory is a slightly toned down version of this trope, with the Ideon having "tested" multiple civilizations in the past, but the Ideon's destruction at the end of Be Invoked ends the cycle (technically) by killing the tester, so future races may be free of Ideon's trial.

The Scapegoat: In episode 16, Sheryl commences a plan to use Karala as a hostage in order to stop the Buff Clan from chasing them, giving a leeway to go back to Earth. However, she and the deserters end up as hostages too in exchange for surrendering Ideon to the Buff Clan. Thanks to Cosmo's efforts, they all return safe and sound but Karala makes herself a scapegoat by lying to Bes and the rest of the crew that she's responsible for deserting. Cosmo figures out that she did this to prevent Sheryl from taking the blame and to keep the Solo ship crew united. Sheryl herself is disgusted for what she had done and realized Karala sacrificed her reputation to spare her from being punished.

In order for the Ideon to function, it needs an ungodly amount of power. The Ide is what supplies it the power needed in order to move. While most Humongous Mecha shows would use that to Handwave how the giant robot functions, it doesn't get glossed over here, as its infinite fuel source is the driving force for much of the conflict that happens in the story. When you have something that can supply infinite energy, everyone will be gunning for it, even if it means war.

Younger Than They Look
 Space Runaway Ideon / int_e9db9908
comment
Younger Than They Look: The military personnel including Sheryl looked like they were in their twenties. But the official website reveals that most of them are actually 17 to 19 years old. Justified, as nearly all military personnel in Solo were killed by the Buff Clan, leaving the younger officers as the main commanders.

Big Damn Heroes: Bes saves Karala when her sister humiliates her and orders her men to strip her. When Ideon is captured by the Buff Clan's Adigo Mobile Mecha with their Geru Field, Piper Lou, who happens to sneak in the Ideo-Delta with Ashura and Fard, starts to cry in despair causing a huge energy surge with Ideon. The energy surge creates two beams of light from Ideon's wrists which can destroy the mechs with ease. Cosmo realizes that Lou's responsible for this and thanks him for saving their lives. After being abandoned by his superiors, Gije saves Sheryl when she's being attacked by the Moonland survivors. Karala and Gije also rescue Bes and Cosmo when they're imprisoned on an Earth base after Bes refuses to surrender the Solo Ship and Ideon to the military.

Together in Death: After everyone dies, they all reunited as spirits. This includes humanity and the Buff Clan, and they drop their grudges with each other. It's the only moment that doesn't make the series ending entirely a downer.

Laser Blade: The "Ideon Blade" is the absolute, undisputed heavyweight champion of this trope. It can slice one whole freaking planet in half, and it is speculated that its reach is potentially infinite.

Team Dad: Bes. He definitely cares about his crew, most especially with the children. In one episode, he's willing to go to great lengths to find Ashura and Deck, who wandered around the planet and got captured by Gije. After that, he gently tells Ashura not to wander off again.

Especially noticeable when the main characters reach a friendly planet and Gije attacks said planet via Sub-Light Missiles that destroy entire cities, killing millions, then threatens to kill off 90% of the population in the same way if Ideon and the Solo ship aren't given to him, then he has the gall to call the defenders a "Brutal Race" for fighting back instead of giving into his demands.
