Story[]

It is the year 1995. Earth has been conquered by the Zaar Empire from planet Akron in the star system also named Zaar. All of Earth's cities have been destroyed, and the remaining survivors live in harsh shanty towns and villages. Kento, a war orphan, hides in a cave along with his companions in order to escape bandits. In the cave, they find the secret base of Doctor Earl, who was an inhabitant of the planet Helios, a planet conquered by the Zaar. Doctor Earl had fled to Earth, bringing with him the greatest achievement in Helian technology: the super robot Atlas, whose power is increased when combined with the intelligent lion robot, Beralios. When these two robots combine with the Helian fighter, Gumper, they form the mighty robot Daltanious. Doctor Earl entrusts the fight for Earth to Kento, who happens to be a descendant of the long disappeared Helian royal line.

  • Kento Tate
    Toshio Furukawa Kento Tate Main Protagonist (楯剣人, Hepburn: Tate Kento ), and his friends are war orphans, and hide out in a cave. There, they find a secret base owned by Dr. Earl, an escapee of the conquered planet Helios, as well as his robot Daltanious, which strengthens when combined with the lion robot Belarios 16 years old. Born on planet Earth, Kento is the son of the rightful heir to the throne of Helios , Hayato Tate (Harlin on Helios). Unaware of his origins, Kento lost contact with his father from the age of 10 and during the attack of Zarl's Interstellar Empire , he lost his mother and sister. The tragedy does not affect his cheerful and carefree temperament. In the midst of the rubble of Tōkyō he meets Sanae Shiratori, Danji Hiragi and the rest of the group with whom he will soon discover the mysterious Adalus secret base which houses the robot Atlaus and will meet Doctor Earl. Thanks to the intervention of Beralios during the clash with Zarl's Bemborg, Kento discovers his noble origins thanks to the scientist, who vainly tries to instill in the young man the habits suited to court life. Even in this case, the discovery of his roots does not change the character of the young man, well-liked by everyone despite some disagreements with Danji who he considers a valid ally in command of the Daltanious . At the end of the war he will once again separate from his father (rediscovered in the course of events) and return to Earth together with Daltanious and the rest of the group.

When she was a young schoolgirl, the Zaal invaded, and Sanae tried to enter a burning building to save her parents, but was held back by two other civilians, who knew that it was futile as the building was already crumbling.

Kento, who had just come back from his ransacking food with his gang, noticed the two girls and offered them some of his stock. Sanae was against it because of the fact that it was stolen, but Ochame eagerly accepted the candy bar he offered. She met Danji when she found him injured on the ground, and took him to Kento's base so that he could be treated.

Concept[]

Tadao Nagahama had a heavy influence in the artistic style and direction of the show. The style resembles that of Voltes V and Combattler V.

The super robot Daltanious was formed with 3 components: Atlaus (the main robot), Gunper (the space ship), and Beralios, the mechanical lion who was recovered after the first battle with Akron. The robot is named after the main hero of the Three Musketeers, D'Artagnan.[1] Daltanious is 56 meters tall and weighs 678 tons. Daltanious was the first combining super robot to have an animal component, as well as the first to have a lion's head on its chest; the lion's head would be incorporated into several Brave Series robots, most notably GaoGaiGar.

Daltanious and Voltron[]

Template:Unreferenced sectionThe Japanese Mirai Robo Daltanious series was originally planned to be adapted by World Events Productions as one act of the Voltron: Defender of the Universe series in the United States and abroad. The intention was for Voltron to have 3 series components made up of Daltanious, Dairugger XV (the "Vehicle Voltron"), and Albegas ("Gladiator Voltron"). When requesting master tapes from Toei Animation for translation purposes, the World Events Productions producers requested the "[The] ones with the lion." Mistakenly, Toei then proceeded to ship World Events copies of Beast King GoLion, another "combining-robot" anime featuring lion-shaped fighters. However, the World Events producers greatly preferred the GoLion series over Daltanious, and the GoLion episodes went on to become the most popular portion of the original Voltron run.[citation needed]

Toys[]

As with all Super Robot anime titles, Daltanious had a deluxe die-cast toy replica produced by Popy during its broadcast. In 2011, a new Daltanious toy was released by Bandai in their Soul of Chogokin line.[2][3]

Daltanious' weapons[]

  • Tran Saber (トランセイバー Toran Seibā?)
    A single handed sword is summoned by the disk placed on the right hip of Daltanious.
  • Tran Shield (トランシールド Toran Shīrudo?)
    A metal shield is summoned by the disk placed on the left hip of Daltanious.
  • Double Knuckle (ダブルナックル Daburu Nakkuru?)
    Daltanious' punches are launched like rockets against the enemy.
  • Gyro Spinner (ジャイロスピンナー Jairo Supinnā?)
    Metal blades appear from the golden metal ring on the forearms of Daltanious to cut through enemies. They can be even launched or combined with the Double Knuckle weapon.
  • Lysander (ライサンダー Raisandā?)
    A crossbow appears on the right forearm of Daltanious. It is used to shoot metal arrows against the enemies.
  • Sigma Beam (シグマビーム Shiguma Bīmu?)
    From the four crosses on the shoulders and knees of Daltanious, four purple beams are fired and combined into a single, cross-shaped laser beam.
  • Super Electromagnetic Eraser (超電磁イレーサー Chōdenji Irēsā?)
    From the Beralios's mouth, a giant ball of fire is shot against the enemy.
  • Kaenken: Cross Slash - Flaming Sword: Cross Slash (火炎剣・火炎十文字斬り Kaenken: Kaen jū moji kiri?)
    From the mouth (or eyes) of Beralios, a giant flamberge is summoned, and used to do the final attack of Daltanious, the Flaming Sword Cross Slash.
  • Cannon Cubic (キャノンキュービック Kyanon Kyūbikku?)
    A power-up from episode 29. From the arms of Daltanious, extended to the forearms, a double pair of cannons are summoned to fire repeatable shots against the enemy.
  • Chain Slicer (チェーンスライサー Chēn Suraisā?)
    A power-up from episode 29. From the right metal disk on the right hip of Daltanious, a chain with a hook and a sickle is summoned. It is used to grab enemies.
  • Kaenken: Flame Attack - Flaming Sword: Flame Attack (火炎アタック Kaen Atakku?)
    Once the Flaming Sword is summoned, a flaming beam is shot against the enemy to spin against it and to seal its movement. Then, Daltanious performs the Cross Slash. It gains the ability to do this because of the power up in episode 29.
  • Kaenken: Full Power (火炎剣・フルパワー Furu Powa?)
    The Flame Sword is summoned using all of Daltanius's available power. Daltanius glows golden, and a massive gout of flame appears above it, from which a larger Flame Sword is drawn. For a while after summoning, Daltanius and its sword is completely coated in a wreath of flame, making them invulnerable to attacks. This technique is used in episode 43 to summon a mighty enough sword to destroy Zaar's Mobile Fortress.
