■ Anime "UFO Senshi Diapolon"
[Synopsis]
A "giant robot" anime broadcast on the TBS network in 1976, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, 2026. The unique concept of "Gasshin" (combination + transformation), where a "giant robot" formed by the combination of three robots merges with the human protagonist, is a one-of-a-kind setting seen only in this work. The giant robot "Diapolon" stands up to defeat the evil President Dazaan, who plots to invade Earth!
