Jikuu Senshi Spielban ("Time-Space Warrior Spielban"), premiering in 1986, was Toei's fifth entry in the Metal Heroes franchise of Toku shows.Klin is a beautiful planet blessed with an abundance of fresh water. And it is because of this wealth that Waller, a warring empire, invades the planet and ravages it for its liquid wealth.Two years later, with nearly no water or natural resources left on their planet, the survivors pin their last hopes on two children and send them to Earth, a planet with similar environment to Klin. These two children are Spielban & Diana.12 years after their arrival, they finally wake up from their sleep. Receiving the knowledge of the history and culture of Earth, they continue their growth as soldiers.Then, the Waller Empire approaches Earth, with the intent of raiding Japan for its water. To stop them and to protect the planet, Spielban & Diana stand up to them, but deceptions, lies, heartache, and the painful truth awaits the two of them...This is one of the series used as source footage to create VR Troopers. | |

Phantom Zone | |
Jikuu Senshi Spielban / int_133f5d54 | comment |
Phantom Zone: Given a twist this time around — instead of the villains doing it to give their Monster of the Week a boost, here it's Spielban who can do it — with his Bypass Slip (triggered by a button above his belt buckle), he can suck all the Waller forces away to protect the city, typically emerging in the typical Toei quarry. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
Jikuu Senshi Spielban / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Early episodes would have the last scene with Waller debuting the next Monster of the Week. This was dropped quickly. Also in early episodes, prior to performing his Arc Impulse, Spielban would flashback to his Dark and Troubled Past to trigger his own Berserk Button. This faded out around halfway through the series. | |

Filler Villain: Episodes 36-37 focus on Waller’s newest member Youki, who uses brainwashing and dirty tactics to fight Spielban. After sitting episode 38 out, episode 39 unceremoniously has him become The Starscream, get killed of and then devotes the rest of the episode to a tougher-than-usual Monster of the Week. | |
