This got to the point where late episodes had God Raijin-oh needing outside help to overcome the odds. Zettai Karen Children; Anime. Zettai Muteki Raijin- Oh (Anime) - TV Tropes. Why let mature, responsible adults pilot your super weapons when there are perfectly good children right there? We are the Earth Defense Class! Zettai Muteki Raijin- Oh, titled Matchless Raijin- Oh on all further English releases, is the story of the world's most powerful super weapon and the classroom of children who command it. Eldoran, the defender of the Earth, pilots a set of giant robots that can combine and form the mighty warrior, Raijin- Oh, and is charged with defending the planet from evil aliens. When the Jaku Empire, a race of fifth- dimensional beings, descends upon the Earth in attempt to conquer it, Eldoran is there with Raijin- Oh to drive the forces of Evil away and keep the planet safe from harm. An epic space- robot mecha battle is about to begin! Or not. Eldoran goes down in less than a minute and is sent hurtling toward the planet. Injured and struggling to keep control of his vessel, Eldoran can't escape the Earth's gravitational pull and falls toward the Earth — more specifically, straight toward an unsuspecting Japanese elementary school. Meanwhile, Mr. Shinoda's fifth- grade class is staying after hours due to poor scores on a recent test. Some odd activity in the afternoon sky catches the attention of the students, and they stare outside, dumbfounded.. Robot falls, everyone dies. Actually, no! With the last of his power, Eldoran is able to preserve the children's lives.. However, the threat of the Jaku Empire still looms above the Earth. With Eldoran gone, there's no one to pilot Raijin- Oh, so he must name an heir quickly and pass on the power to someone who can defend the planet in his stead. Unfortunately, the only ones around to ask are the fifth- graders he just rescued. Left with no other choice, he passes the robots onto the children with little explanation, and uses the strength he has left to reformat their classroom into a pimped- out computer command center. Left with no choice and no instruction, the children of class 5- 3 — now with three (later four) giant robots at their disposal — are forced to learn how to defend the Earth on their own by trial and error. Hilarity Ensues. Zettai Muteki Raijin- Oh, the first series of the Eldoran franchise trilogy, is a genuinely heartwarming series that has a surprising amount of character development; much more than you would expect from a giant robot show aimed at younger children. The main cast is made up of the eighteen students, each with their own distinct look, personality, and duty. The three stars of the series are Jin, Asuka and Kouji, who are charged with piloting the three robots that combine to form Raijin- Oh. While they're out fighting, their classmate Maria takes control of the command center and guides the other 1. Raijin- Oh. The show is based on a very simple concept, but it's executed very beautifully. The writers aren't afraid to lampshade classic tropes of the Giant Robot genre on a regular basis. Almost 2. 0 years after first airing in Japan, it was licensed by a brand- new anime distribution company called Anime Midstream. Despite many doubts, Midstream successfully released the first volume of Raijin- Oh at the end of December 2. Yatate Bunko, Sunrise's publishing subsidiary, will publish a novel based on this series starting April 1. Academy of Adventure: The school is hiding giant robots under campus and one classroom turns into a command center. Adults Are Useless: Beautifully averted. Sure, the kids are the only ones who could control Raijin- Oh but once outside the mecha and the control center, they still needed all the guidance from their elders, who are just as knowledgeable as they needed to be with the obvious exception of the annoying, borderline Neidermeyer Army General.
Even the General becomes a valuable ally once he warms up to the fact that the world's most powerful weapon is in the hands of children. Afraid of Needles: Jin, of all the things that he has to develop a phobia for. It even incapacitates him for a while during battle when they faced off with a syringe- themed Monster of the Week. Always Chaotic Evil: The Jaku Beasts - No exceptions, justified because they seemed to lack any higher intelligence than their own programmed instincts. A little girl who kept a vegetable- eating monster briefly as a pet tried to appeal to it but failed to awaken any good in it. The closest we can come to an exception was that of the superhero monster, but as mentioned, the monster was only acting on its programmed instinct and generally was still considered a nuisance. Androcles' Lion: Jin's parents are the only ones who took Taida in, when the rest of the world wanted his blood. Later in the same episode, he protected them from a rampaging Jaku Satan. Animal Mecha: Hou- Oh, Juu- Oh, and Bakuryu- Oh. Big Bad: Belzeb. Bigger Bad: Warusar, Belzeb's master. Calling Your Attacks. Car Fu: Shinoda does this in an episode against the Monster of the Week; ramming his car straight into the face of the said monster and earning him both a Crowning Moment of Funny and a Crowning Moment of Awesome. Color- Coded Characters: Averted! Jin wears red and yellow, but his robot is white and blue Asuka wears blue, but his robot is red Kouji wears green, but his robot is blue and gold. Combining Mecha. Communications Officer: Raijin- Oh is so complex to operate that it needs two communications officers. Conservation of Ninjutsu: The TV series had the titular mecha struggling to beat a single Monster of the Week. The OVA sequel features all the previous Monster of the Week returning to fight. If you guessed that Raijin- oh was cutting them down one by one with ease, you're right. Creepy Cockroach: In the second episode, Jin frightens Maria with what turns out to be a rubber roach. Crossdressing Voices. Defeat Means Friendship: In the series finale, Belzeb finally accepted his defeat, made peace with the kids, and left. Defector from Decadence: Belzeb and Falzeb turned on their former master Warusar, after he attempted to kill them. Enemy Mine: Belzeb turned against his master Warusar and helped God Raijin- oh to take him down. Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Belzeb could not understand why he kept losing to a trio of kids piloting a robot. He couldn't understand why his subordinate Taida choose to protect his human friends from harm either. It didn't work. Falling into the Cockpit: Played straight and with a twist: Jin, Asuka, and Kouji are literally thrown into the respective cockpits of their mechs during the school's massive transformation sequence. Subverted upon the release of the OVA sequel, albeit on a less grand scale. Heel. Eventually in the finale, he pleaded with Belzeb to stop fighting. Belzeb granted him mercy by exiling him to Earth. Hot- Blooded: Jin, full stop. One of his image songs is titled Hot Blooded! Hot Blooded! Men Are Hot Blooded! Humongous Mecha. Idiot Hero: Jin is portrayed as one when outside of battle. Had a running gag of scoring *very* badly in his academic assessments. Image Song: The main characters get quite generous helpings here; Jin, Kouji, Asuka and Maria get two or three each, and the remaining 1. Even the villains get a shot in a . He even befriended Jin's parents. Jerk Jock: Asuka can come off as this sometimes, though he is a genuinely nice guy. Kid Hero: Jin in a nutshell. Kid With The Remote Control: More or less the entire concept of this show. No one outside of class 5- 3 can control Raijin- Oh. Magikarp Power: Late in the series, a monster of the week took the form of a pair of Ice Skating boots, which proved to be absolutely useless in combat and showed no resistance either. That all changed when Jaku Satan merged with it, making it one of the tougher opponents that God Raijin- Oh had faced - It even managed to fend off God Thunder Crash briefly. Mid- Season Upgrade: Bakuryu- Oh was introduced as such in its debut episode, but subverted in the rest of the series when it was clear that its main purpose was to combine with Raijin- oh. This trope also applies to the bad guys when Belzeb unleashes his own personal mecha Jaku Satan, in order to balance the odds. Monster of the Week: Just as any Super Robot of its day and at the same time, is also an example of.. Monster of the Aesop: The akudama (monster seeds) were specifically activated by the word . So there was a traffic jam monster, a flu monster, a superhero monster (this one had some serious . However, this was played particularly well in the Grand Finale, where Belzeb managed to take down God Raijin- oh using his upgraded Jaku Satan, and for once broke up God Raijin- oh into its individual components, with Belzeb about to destroy Ken- oh (And Jin by extension). Its only the collective willpower of the pilots that kept them fighting, allowing Jin an opportunity to stab Jaku Satan with its own sword, narrowly beating it. Non- Indicative Name / Oddly Small Organisation: The Jaku Empire. Said empire consists entirely of Warusar, Belzeb, Falzeb and Taida. One- Winged Angel: Happens almost every episode for each Jaku Beast. Taida became Black Taida after swallowing thousands of the remaining Akudamas, and even singlehandedly took down God Raijin- oh. The remaining Akudamas eventually get regurgitated and merged to form a giant Akudama, only to be destroyed for good. Only Six Faces: Largely averted. Proud Warrior Race Guy: Suits Belzeb to a T, especially late in the series. Surely there were enough adults in the school to put a team together, but he chose the kids. Shipper on Deck: In the first OVA, Asuka wants Hiroshi and Cookie to get together. Sorting Algorithm of Evil: Each monster of the week gradually became more difficult to defeat, and they themselves gained a mid- season upgrade through combining with Jaku Satan, to counter God Raijin- oh. This got to the point where late episodes had God Raijin- oh needing outside help to overcome the odds. Compare this to the first few episodes where Raijin- oh alone could handle the enemies.
