    Kyojû Tokusô Juspion (1985-1986 - 46 episodes) was one of greatest series of 'Metal Hero' genre ever made. Produced just after the successful "Uchû Keiji" trilogy (Gavan, Sharivan and Shaider), Juspion brought elements of this early series, with more modernity and dynamism.

    Juspion (Hikaru Kurosaki) was created by Ejin (Noboru Nakaya), after a fall with a spaceship that killed his parents several years ago. Living in harmony with wild beasts at the same time where he received fight techniques, Juspion was convoked by Ejin in ownership of the Galactic Bible that foresaw that a warrior would have to face the malignant being of the galaxy, the SatanGhost, an entity capable to control giant monsters.

    Thus, Juspion will pass for some planets with the Android 'Anri' (Kiyomi Tsukada) and 'Miiya' (an alien helped by Juspion in first episode) until they arrives at the Earth, where Satanghost and his son MadGalant had established and intends to create the Beast Empire.

    In the initial episodes, the trams were mixed with the infantile mood of the main character, but in elapsing of the series, this mood was giving place to a more serious attitude, while the stories became more darkest.

    In this series the famous actor Hiroshi Watari (Sharivan) makes 'Boomerman', who helps the hero in his battles for several episodes until one accident in real life compels him to leave the series prematurely, giving place to the Nanbara family (Mr. Nanbara interpreted by famous singer Isao Sasaki).

    Juspion was shown in Japan in the year of 1985 along with sentai series 'Changeman'. In Brazil, both also divided the programming in 1988 and made enormous success. I recommend! 4 1/2 of 5.

    Juspion (or Jaspion or the Brazilians) was one of the best jap series ever. Sadly it never got the due respect in Japan.

    The plot was very convincing, avoiding usual scenes and repeated endings between episodes from which many jap series suffered from. Special episodes showing Jaspion's adventures in the deep space were among the best.

    Even tough the special effects are not A+, the actors did their best, many of them were professionals stunts and had excellent physical prepair. Also considering that this was a K-12 oriented series, it was impressive that some episodes showed some blood and bodies.

    Sadly, Japanese executives always planned such series on a short term (40-50 weeks) so they only lasted for one year. This was a not very smart formula since every year new series would show up but with very similar characters, plots, scripts and effects. They tried o turn it into a money machine but eventually one or other series was worth it. Today I wonder if they do still even making new series after the formula was "americanized" with the Power Rangers garbage.

    Is Jaspion's destiny to find the chosen children to destroy the evil master Satangorth and with the help of 'em he has to find the mysterious golden bird, who Satangorth is afraid to death. There lies the mystery: what connection does Satangorth has with the golden bird and who are the chosen ones? Jaspion with his crew: Anri, Mi-ya and the spectacular giant robot Daileon are crossing the universe in search of Satangorth's followers. Suddenly, Jaspion arrives on planet earth and discover that Satangorth plans to build the kingdom of the monsters on our planet. Now Jaspion has to trust on the powers of his armor the Metaltex to defeat Satangorth and his evil son: Mad Galiant. Mad Galiant is the human like nemesis of Jaspion, and he is keen to destroy him and professor Nambara as well, who is the father of one of the chosen children. Jaspion has a lot of those Japanese live action elements, the giant monsters, the giant robot, the weird reality, the gadgets, the vehicles and the video clip edition. It's funny and also sometimes intense (as much as a tvshow like this can be).

    Jaspion was a series of great success in Brazil in 1980 and remains fresh in the minds of many fans who are awaiting the visit of his protagonist: SEIKI HIKARU KUROSAKI. Shown on TV MANCHETE in 1988, another great hero of this generation which were very successful at that time and were shown after JASPION due to its success in previous years, have been here. Like the actor Hiroshi Watari (E SHARIVAN SPILVAN) and TSUTSUI TAKUMI (Jiraya). KUROSAKI But that is the great forerunner of a whole generation of children now grown, has not yet appeared in Brazilian territory, where he is the place that has fans all over the world. Many people when they see Jaspion be a child again just as with oar and Tsutsui. Yearns child. Saudade dos LP's, Chewing gum, toys, sticker albums of JASPION and CHANGEMAN.
