STORY


In 1945, Dr. Ryuuichirou Koga designed Metalder as a top-secret weapon for the Japanese Imperial Army for use in the Pacific War , modeling it after his late son, Second Sub-lieutenant Tatsuo Koga . However, the pacifistic Dr. Koga put Metalder to sleep in the Silver Carcass base and left for America to work for NASA . During the 42 years, Dr. Koga's colleague Major Muraki, became the evil GodNeros, ruler of Neros Empire. Godneros sends out his massive armies to kill Dr. Ryuuchirou who learned of their organization and returned to Japan to activate Metalder. Ryuuchirou desperately tries to activate his android creation, who he named Tsurugi Ryuusei, but the android is unable to understand what he should do. In order to give Ryuusei a "purpose," Ryuuchiro runs out of the Silver Carcass base, allowing Nero's troops to kill him. Suddenly seeing his creator die, Ryuusei becomes shocked, and soon is kicked around and beaten by Nero's troops. After being tossed around Ryuusei becomes fueled with rage, evoking the conversion to his 'true' form, the Android known as Metalder! After a brief battle with Coolgin, which he loses, Ryuusei goes onward, meeting Mai Oogi who befriends him along the way. Ryuusei will not stop fighting until he has avenged his creator's death and defeated Godneros' empire!


MAIN CHARACTERS


  • Metalder: A android built by Dr. Koga at the end of WW2. Normally in human form as '''Ryuusei Tsurugi''', whose looks and personality are directly modeled after that of Dr. Koga's son Tatsuo. Whenever his energies reach a peak from rage, with the cry "Anger!", he transforms into his metallic form. Like Tatsuo, loves music and plays saxophone from time to time. His Reflection Circuit gave him the same feelings as humans and to tell right and wrong.

  • Springer: A Robot dog that guards the Silver Carcass, he was built by Dr. Koga before Metalder. Hence was Metalder's "big brother". Capable of human speech, he repairs Metalder and runs the machines inside the Silver Carcass. Enjoys watching TV, particularly anime.

  • Mai Ougi : A Tomboyish camerawoman who works for a magazine. She was/is Metalder's first human friend and constant companion.

  • Shingo Oogi: Mai's father, living at Washington DC as a news reporter. As a favor to Mai, he investigated Dr. Koga's past and learned about Godneros' identity in the process.

  • Kita Hakkou(16-25): Grand Prix motorcyclist intending to be the world's best. Originally head of a motorcycle gang. He met Ryuusei and Mai on a photo shoot for a new motorcycle magazine, only to get involved in the fighting. Calling himself the 'Neros Hunter', Kita saw himself as Mai's bodyguard as he has feelings for her.

  • 2nd Sub-lieutenant Tatsuo Koga: Dr. Koga's only son, whom Metalder was modeled after. He died on October 1944 as the first member of the Kamikaze Special Attack Squads. Loved music and played the violin with the potential to be a great violinist.

  • Dr. Ryuuichiro Koga (1): The man who created Metalder. After WW2, Dr. Koga went to America and became a staff member at NASA . Returned to Japan when he learned of the existence of the Neros Empire. Shortly after reviving Metalder, he died at the hands of Tubo and the Neros Empire members. With his death, a sense of purpose was given to Metalder.


  • Violent Spirit Top Gunder(4-6, 16-17, 19, 30, 33, 35-37): A soldier of Godneros' Combat Robot Army, Top Gunder is a lone gunman in black tights who believed in fair play. Though he originally intended to kill Metalder in a 1-on-1 fight, Top Gunder later gained respect for our hero and became close allies with Metalder. In Episode 33, a fake robotic Top Gunder was created to help the Combat Robot Army during their training. Metalder, mistook it for the real Topgunder, and fought his way in to save him. The fake robot revealed itself and attacked Metalder, though Metalder was soon after saved by the real TopGunder. Metalder destroyed the fake TopGunder with his Lightning Chop attack.
