HOTW- Kikaida 01

 

From Wiki- The noted robotics expert Dr. Kohmyoji created a powerful android to protect Japan from evil forces. When Hakaider starts his evil organization, Dr. Kohmyoji's android, Kikaider 01, awakens to fight Hakaider.  Hakaider has three assistants, Red Hakaider, Blue Hakaider, and Silver Hakaider. Together, they devise various schemes to cause destruction, but Kikaider 01 stops them all. Kikaider appears to assist Kikaider 01. Their chief goal is to capture a young boy, named Akira.  After Hakaider's attempts fail, a new, mysterious character appears, Shadow Knight. Shadow Knight is a member of a competing, evil organization, SHADOW. When SHADOW proved to be more powerful than Hakaider, Hakaider unwillingly becomes a member of SHADOW.

The sequel is a lot of fun, if not quite as good as the original Android Kikaider.  I do use the Hawaiian spelling, since that is how I saw it first.  I do love both shows, that is for sure.  01's weakness is that he is solar powered, so if he fights at night he runs out of energy on occasion.  I was so happy that Generation Kikaida released these sets.  I would love a Blu-Ray set, but I don't think those are gonna happen.  01 rock!
