Ch�jinki Metalder ("Super-Android Metalder") is the sixth entry in Toei's Metal Heroes franchise, which aired in 1987 (lasting 39 episodes and a movie). Essentially a Spiritual Successor to Kikaider (and thus departs from the staples of the franchise, such as fighting aliens and having a massive airship base).In 1945, at the end of World War II, Professor Ryūichir� K�ga was forced into creating a super weapon for the Japanese Imperial Army. Patterning his creation to resemble his dead son Tatsuo, Professor K�ga placed his cyborg into suspended animation because of his pacifist leanings against war.42 years later, Professor K�ga's former assistant Kunio Muraki, now posing as a wealthy philanthropist named Kirihara G�z�, has used a combination of science and alchemy to prolong his existence and to eventually attempt to raise Japan as a military nation again under his control as God Neros. K�ga decides to activate Metalder again to combat the menace.Instilled with pacifist directives, Metalder is unable to combat the threat until K�ga allows himself to be killed by the Neros Empire, which drives Metalder to seek a path of vengeance. Conflicted by both his desire for justice and his peaceful ways, Metalder, under the new "human" guise of Ryūsei Tsurugi, attempts to find a balance in his artificial life while battling the forces of evil.Metalder was one of the series that were used to create VR Troopers. Notable that Princess Tenko, a magician who guest-starred in one episode, would have a Saban-created series of her own a few years after that. | |

The Movie: Ryūsei goes to a temple and learns a martial art technique in order to defeat the Tag brothers. While the movie doesn't exactly fit in into the TV series' continuity (Ryūsei speaks with his alter-ego's voice for once), it does provide Fanservice by having Mai Ōgi in a pink swimsuit. | |

Sorting Algorithm of Evil | |
| Chōjinki Metalder / int_323f135b | comment |
Sorting Algorithm of Evil: Not without exception, but Metalder mostly works his way through the weaker members of the four armies up to the higher-ranking ones, who, per toku tradition, are the strongest members of their respective factions. In a few cases, mostly Geldling's, it's because the top dogs are actually cowards hiding behind their subordinates. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Metalder wins the final battle against God Neros, but loses the ability to transform into his human form Tsurugi, keeping him in his cyborg form forever... To make it even worse, not only does he lose his Ryuusei personality, but also loses his ability to fight. He barely walks away from everything. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Part of the problem with the Neros Empire legion members all having different personalities is their loyalty to God Neros varies considerably - and he's forced to realize this when Topgunder takes off on his own. | |

Homage: Metalder has more than a passing resemblance to Kikaider. The producer also worked on Kikaider, and apparently thought of it this way; the main writer apparently did not. | |

Super-Senses | |
| Chōjinki Metalder / int_a8c462db | comment |
Super-Senses: Ryuusei's sight and hearing are far above what a normal human could even be capable of, and seem to be boosted as Metalder. His olfactory sense is relatively normal, though he can still pick up a wider range (like explosives). The Neros Empire members tend to have senses in line with their objectives. | |

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Mukimukiman and Fufuchu disappear from the rest of the series after episode 8. Part of the reason why they were quietly removed from the show was that they were a pair of goofy wrestlers in an army of cyborgs, mutants and armored warriors, and so stuck out like a sore thumb. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Chōjinki Metalder / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Springer can be seen watching various anime in the Silver Carcass, one of which is clearly Combattler V. Balsky notes that Topgunder was built and programmed to be a Cold Sniper, "like Golgo 13". His name is itself a shout-out to the movie, apparently because the main writer's daughter was a fan of it. | |

Expy: Besides Metalder himself, Topgunder is meant to be a friendlier version of Kikaider's rival Hakaider. The story behind Topgunder was that they he was drawn up as a Armor Legion member first (a dude in a suit, not a robot), but the director saw the design and thought "Hey, he looks like a Rival"... He was consequently re-characterized as a Hakaider-esque member of the Combat Robot Legion. | |

| Chōjinki Metalder / int_ed46da54 | comment |
Martial Pacifist: Initially an Actual Pacifist (as in, he doesn't know how to fight at all), but gradually works his way up to this. He was designed under a very literal reading of this trope, and has two computers within him - his main and combat computers - which are designed to balance each other. If he (his main computer) grows as a person, so too will his combat computer. | |

| Chōjinki Metalder / int_f068cba | comment |
Oddball in the Series: For a Metal Heroes show, this show is unusual in both being completely Earth-bound (pretty much every other Metal Hero faced off against extraterrestrial invaders up until this point) and lacking in many of the standard Metal Hero equipment (Metalder doesn't have any external weapons, and only has a flying motorcycle and a flying car, as opposed to a massive aerial fortress carrying a whole fleet of vehicles). | |

Laser Blade | |
| Chōjinki Metalder / int_f8cddfb2 | comment |
Laser Blade: Averted, which is impressive for a Metal Hero show. Metalder's Laser Arm is his most powerful attack - and not only is it not a sword, it's not a laser either, as it's a high-frequency vibration of his arm that happens to look like one. This also means that, by design, he can Dual Wield them. | |
