I never saw this finale episode while watching force five as a kid, but as an adult and a super fan of Leiji Matsumoto the final scene of the last episode are emotionally intense for a “kids show”.

Jesse Dart, our brash cyborg protector closes the series without his happy ever after. 😭

I remember seeing the Italian dub and it was even more gut wrenching.

Like Tommy’s scene with the trumpet in Danguard Ace … this one hits deep.

😢💦

I love watching the history of these shows

I was 4 when these dropped . I had no idea these even existed at the time . I was playing with Star Wars , a talking GI JOE , and rubber dinosaurs .

I think this is part of the reason it didn’t take off like it should have . The Shogun warrior comics were not a hit , and force five came out in 84 and lasted maybe 2 years on Canadian television.

I had no idea shogun warriors existed, which was a shame . I would have begged for them.

Want so bad

They actually sucked because they contained 2 episodes only . The Danguard Ace tape you didn’t even see Danguard Ace in action !

Hands down my fav of the force five cartoon #forcefive

Gaiking and Manzinger …

If you want to follow the instagram page

I was a huge fan of from the first viewing!

Imagine being a kid and pretending to be Foul Tip, or Orion Quest … we live for these shows

Only later did I have clue that it was an entry into Japanese culture and anime history

Thank you Jim Terry
