[edit] Plot

Billions of years after an advanced human civilization was destroyed by aliens, twelve direct descendants of the civilization's warriors called "Sazers" have their powers awakened and form four tribes: Fire, Wind, Earth and Water. Each Sazer is based on a Zodiac sign represented in an animal totem or spirit representation. At first, they wage war on each other, but after learning the truth of their ancestry and their reason for awakening, the Gransazer tribes unite to protect Earth from an alien force called the Warp Monarch, an evil alliance of various alien species, bent on once again extinguishing all life on the planet.

[edit] The Gransazers

Descendants of the warriors from the ancient human civilization, each is marked by a glowing symbol, corresponding to their astrological sign, on the back of their left hand. This symbol can turn into a Knuckle-Riser. By setting the Knuckle-Riser to Transformation Mode, they can equip high-powered suits that transform them into Gransazers. Their transformation call is "Souchaku! ("Equip!")

Gransazer is compromised of twelve members split amongst four elements. When three members of the same element have been awakened and gathered, a Tribe is formed. When three members gather and set their Knuckle-Risers to Chouseishin Mode, they can summon a machine of incredible power called a Chouseishin (Super Star God). Once a Tribe's respective Chouseishin has been summoned, one member can set their Knuckle-Riser to Boarding Mode in order to "Dive-In" and board their Chouseishin.

Each Gransazer also has their own unique weapon, which can be summoned by setting their Knuckle-Riser to Arms Mode. When piloting their respective Chouseishin, they can equip the Chouseishin with a large version of their personal weapon by setting their Knuckle-Riser to Sazer Gear Mode. They can also communicate with other Sazers by setting the Knuckle-Riser to Communication Mode.

The Gransazers can also perform a combination attack called "Formation Zero". The attack involves Sazer Tarious, Sazer Mithras, Sazer Lion, Sazer Dail, Sazer Tragos and Sazer Pisces all performing a sandwich jump kick on the enemy.

[edit] Flame Tribe

The first tribe to recognize the alien threat and the second to be fully assembled. From the very beginning, they were assisted by Professor Horiguchi who helped them realize their duty as Gransazers. The armoured suits of the Flame Tribe are all based on birds. Their suits are also shades of red.

[edit] Sazer Tarious

Tenma Kudou (弓道天馬, Kudō Tenma^?)
Age: 22
Occupation: Courier
Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius
Animal: Falcon
Tenma is a rash young man, usually going in head first. He stumbled into being a Sazer after he was ambushed by an evil Sazer Velsou; his temper and the powers within him made him transform. Immediately afterwards, he defeated Velsou. Often locking horns with Mika and the others, he doesn't quite like being made the leader, but he accepts the role. Tenma cares a lot about his comrades as well as about the world he lives in.

With his Knuckle Riser, Tenma transforms into Sazer Tarious, the flame warrior under the sign of Sagittarius, whose armour is shaped after a falcon. Sazer Tarious' main weapon is the Falcon Bow, a bow and arrow set situated on the left wrist (in place of the Knuckle Riser). Its finishing attack is called "Burning Falcon", which involves the shooting of a giant fiery arrow from the Falcon Bow. His second attack is the "Cosmic Punch", in which Sazer Tarious jumps up, then spins towards his adversary with a flaming outstretched fist.

[edit] Sazer Mithras

Mika Shidou (獅堂未加, Shidō Mika^?)
Age: 22
Occupation: Student
Zodiac Sign: Aries
Animal: Swan
Mika is the tomboyish elder sister of Ken and the wise member of the Flame Tribe. Having helped Professor Horiguchi with his research, she was the first Sazer to be awakened. Her cool and reserved attitude often clashes with the bright personality of Tenma, but when push comes to shove she proves to be a true friend.

With her Knuckle Riser, Mika transforms into Sazer Mithras, the flame warrior under the sign of Aries, with armour shaped after a swan. Her main weapons are the Swan Sectors, a pair of fans. Its finishing attack, known as the "Brand Tornado", resembles a blast from a flamethrower tornado.

[edit] Sazer Lion

Ken Shidou (獅堂剣, Shidō Ken^?)
Age: 19
Occupation: Student
Zodiac Sign: Leo
Animal: Swallow
Ken is the brother of Mika - younger than his sister by three years - and the last member of the Flame Tribe to be awakened; this happened when the Wind Tribe attacked the yet-to-be-activated Garuda with Dolcross. He is the calm and collected pole of the tribe, a shy but caring and compassionate person who deeply loves his sister. After meeting Ran, he developed a crush on her, but he would never admit it.

With his Knuckle Riser, Ken transforms into Sazer Lion (Sizer Le-On), the flame warrior under the sign of Leo; his armour is shaped after a swallow. His main weapons are the Double Crescent, a pair of swords. Its finishing attack, called "Hien Zan" ("Flying Swallow Cut"), resembles a wave of fire.

[edit] Wind Tribe

The first tribe to be fully assembled, they were deceived by an alien of the Akelon species, posing as Professor Karin Saeki, into fighting the other Gransazers, especially the Flame tribe. After they realized they were being deceived, they turned against Karin and allied with the other Gransazers to defeat her. The members of the Wind Tribe all have insect based and indigo, carmine and purple shaded suits.

[edit] Sazer Remls

Akira Dentsuin (伝通院洸, Dentsuin Akira^?)
Age: 29
Occupation: Surgeon
Zodiac Sign: Gemini
Animal: Japanese rhinoceros beetle
Back when he first met Karin, Akira was awakened as Sazer Remls, tricked by the Akelon into fighting the Flame Tribe. Akira was the one who stood by Karin's side the longest, attacking his friends while still believing in and feeling for her. He may seem distant and cold but is loyal and compassionate and if required, a fierce fighter. He is the oldest Gransazer.

With his Knuckle Riser, Akira transforms into Sazer Remls, the wind warrior under the sign of Gemini, with armour shaped after a Japanese rhinoceros beetle. Sazer Remls' main weapon is the Iron Gale, a cannon. Its finishing attack is called "Final Judgement", which is a concentrated ball of air. His second attack is the "Remls Tornado", a tornado from Remls' palm.

[edit] Sazer Velsou

Ryouko Amemiya (雨宮涼子, Amemiya Ryōko^?)
Age: 25
Occupation: Sports instructor
Zodiac Sign: Aquarius
Animal: Butterfly
Recruited and awakened by Karin as well, Ryouko is the ambitious fighter of the Wind Tribe, aware of her own skills and with a dislike towards weaklings and cowards. Along with that, she is also rather calculating and smart. It was she who first doubted the motivations of Karin and became the first to leave the evil scientist, to be joined by Jin soon after. Under her personal training, Tappei has now become a formidable fighter.

With her Knuckle Riser, Ryouko transforms into Sazer Velsou, the wind warrior under the sign of Aquarius, whose armour is shaped after a butterfly. Sazer Velsou's main weapons are the Sel Cross, a pair of bucklers. Its finishing attack is called "Full Moon Slash", which is a vertical slash of magenta-tinted air that charges to the target. Sazer Velsou's second attack is the "Velsou Illusion", a psychokinetic attack that disables her enemies.

[edit] Sazer Dail

Jin Hakariya (秤谷仁, Hakariya Jin^?)
Age: 26
Occupation: Fashion designer
Zodiac Sign: Libra
Animal: Stag beetle
The final member of the Wind Tribe, Jin, was discovered by Karin and joined them looking for fun rather than being devoted to his mission. He enjoys having his powers and playing around with them, always up for a challenge. Despite that, he enjoys teamwork and thus was soon convinced by Ryouko that the Sazers have to work as one big team. He often shows up just in time to level the odds.

With his Knuckle Riser, Jin transforms into Sazer Dail, the wind warrior under the sign of Libra; his armour is shaped after a stag beetle. Sazer Dail's main weapons are the Axe Tagger, axe-like tonfas. Its finishing attack is called "Dai Senpu Ha" ("Whirlwind Strike"), which is a horizontal tornado blast.

[edit] Earth Tribe

The third tribe to fully awaken. This tribe is the most divided one because each of the three members has a personality that conflicts with the others sometimes. The Akelon Karin Saeki tried to enlist the Earth Tribe into her group, but failed, causing the Earth Tribe to fight together with the Flame Tribe. Their armoured suits are based on mammals. Their suits are also yellow or orange shaded.

[edit] Sazer Tawlon

Naoto Matsuzaka (松坂直人, Matsuzaka Naoto^?)
Age: 27
Occupation: Martial artist
Zodiac Sign: Taurus
Animal: Bull
Naoto was once a famous and highly-prized martial artist who is now mostly retired from the spotlight, going back to teaching young talents the ways of self-defense. Often he is not to be found, for Naoto constantly seeks to become stronger and better, not just independently but in total isolation, despite the fact that he already is a powerhouse. He is also dedicated and tough. He would never give up, no matter how bad the odds are for him.

With his Knuckle Riser, Naoto transforms into Sazer Tawlon, the ground warrior under the sign of Taurus, with armour shaped after a bull. Sazer Tawlon's main weapon is the Bull Cannon, a pair of shoulder cannons. Its finishing attack is called "Matador Burst", which is a charged shot.

[edit] Sazer Visuel

Ran Saotome (早乙女蘭, Saotome Ran^?)
Age: 21
Occupation: Dancer
Zodiac Sign:Virgo
Animal: Leopard
Ran is a quirky and easy-going young woman who met the Sazers when her childhood friend was accused of a crime which Gô and his policeman partner Nanami were investigating. At first she was abducted by Karin and the Wind Tribe to be their ally, but she eventually fled. In order to protect Gô from a trigger-happy criminal, she transformed into Sazer Visuel. Despite her seemingly carefree nature, she can be very serious and devoted. In the latter parts of the series she was pursued by the Warp Monarch because she is a Bosquito, but it was later found out that she is the vessel to communicate the Warp Monarch with the Gransazers.

With her Knuckle Riser, Ran transforms into Sazer Visuel, the ground warrior under the sign of Virgo; her armour is shaped after a female leopard. Sazer Visuel's main weapons are the Lady Claw, a pair of long, sharp claws. Its finishing attack is called "Night Scratch", which is a powerful claw slash.

[edit] Sazer Tragos

Go Kamiya (神谷豪, Kamiya Gō^?)
Age: 26
Occupation: Policeman
Zodiac Sign: Capricorn
Animal: Goat
Gō is a serious, dedicated and faithful policeman with a strong sense of justice who made his first encounter with the Sazer powers while chasing a criminal, who was also a friend of Ran. After his policeman partner was taken out of commission and the criminal took his gun, Gō transformed for the first time. He immediately aligned with the Flame Tribe and fought some duels with Dail. Within him, there is also a kind and honest side which came out when he was debating with Naoto on duty and priorities. He fell in love with scientist Aya Stacy.

With his Knuckle Riser, Gō transforms into Sazer Tragos, the ground warrior under the sign of Capricorn whose armour is shaped after a goat. Sazer Tragos' main weapon is the Spiral Horn, a drill arm. Its finishing attack is called "Penetrate Thunder", which is a drill attack that involves a dive from a height.

[edit] Water Tribe

The Water Tribe appeared after the Akelon incident and was the fourth to awaken fully. Led by the strict and mistrusting war photographer Makoto, this tribe fought a while on their own. After having been completed as tribe and awakened their Chouseishin, Leviathan, they joined the other Sazers. The suits of the Water Tribe are based on sea animals. Their suits are also shades of blue.

[edit] Sazer Gorbion

Makoto Sorimachi (反町誠, Sorimachi Makoto^?)
Age: 24
Occupation: War Zone Photographer
Zodiac Sign: Scorpio
Animal: Shark
Makoto is the leader of the Water Tribe. His past as a war photographer made him grow cautious and mistrusting, and initially he does not trust anyone but his tribe members. He makes his debut as a Sazer when Leviathan becomes endangered due to Radia's presence and motives and promptly saves Tarious from impending death. He refused to work in the big team for a while longer, and his generally high dedication to what he thinks is right is often, but not always, a blessing to the other Sazers.

With his Knuckle Riser, Makoto transforms into Sazer Gorbion, the water warrior under the sign of Scorpio; his armour is shaped after a shark. Sazer Gorbion's main weapon is the Blast Saw, a serrated broadsword. Its finishing attack is called "De Storm", which calls forth a small tsunami. Sazer Gorbion's second attack is known as "Aqua Slasher".

[edit] Sazer Pisces

Ai Uozumi (魚住愛, Uozumi Ai^?)
Age: 18
Occupation: Nurse
Zodiac Sign: Pisces
Animal: Orca/whale
Ai is a caring and friendly nurse working at the same hospital as Akira. Right after their first encounter, Ai developed a crush on him. Later that day, she and her long-time friend Tappei were attacked by Lucia and Ai had to transform to protect herself and Tappei. Eventually she found out that a man she had known for years was in fact related to her and this man was kidnapped by Logia. She followed them and freed him in time. Ai has a more than kind nature, even feeling mercy for those who tried to kidnap and kill her; but she is also serious and devoted to her mission. She is the youngest Gransazer.

With her Knuckle Riser, Ai transforms into Sazer Pisces, the water warrior under the sign of Pisces, whose armour is shaped after an orca/whale. Sazer Pisces' main weapon is the Aqua Blitz, a small gun. Its finishing attack is called "Brink Shot", which is a strong blast.

[edit] Sazer Gans

Tappei Mikami (三上辰平, Mikami Tappei^?)
Age: 21
Occupation: Dolphin Trainer
Zodiac Sign: Cancer
Animal: Manta ray
Tappei is a kind guy who studies and takes care of some dolphins at an ocean theme park. He likes to go surfing with his friend Ai, on whom he has a serious crush. This hurts him even more when he could not protect her from Lucia and she had to transform in self-defense. After that, he underwent training with Ryoko until he was fully awakened. The opportunity finally came and he joined his tribe members, completing the Water Tribe. Tappei is gentle and open-minded, ready when he is needed.

With his Knuckle Riser, Tappei transforms into Sazer Gans, the water warrior under the sign of Cancer, with armour shaped after a manta ray. Sazer Gans' main weapon is the Kalnikos, a double blade halberd. Its finishing attack is called "Taikai Shousetsudan", which shoots a stream of water.

[edit] Allies

[edit] Professor Ichiro Horiguchi

Age: 50
Occupation: Space Archaeologist
A space archaeologist who has become famous for his scientific studies. His analysis of some ancient crystals lead him to discovering the secret of the Gransazers, the Chou Seishin, and the Gransazer War. Many have sought this knowledge. His assistant, Mika, was awakened as Sazer Mithras. Her new partners, Ken and Tenma, were awakened as Gransazers later. He guides the Sazers by giving them information and leads.

[edit] Atsushi Misonogi

Age: 43
Occupation: Bureaucrat
Although he is a bureaucrat, he is also very mysterious. He supports Dr. Horiguchi's Gransazer research in any way he can, but his reasons for doing so are a mystery, until the later revelation that he heads the Department of Defense.

[edit] Masaki Wakui

Age: 55
Occupation: Scientist
Ai Uozumi's long lost father, who throughout Ai's childhood, he's only known by the name Dr. Bear. He led the team which repaired the Guntroller.

[edit] Souchiro Okita

Age: unknown
Occupation: Captain
He leads the strike team which assists the Sazers during battle. He also commands the robot Youhi using a special head piece.

[edit] Ruby

Like Karin, she is an Akelon, but unlike Karin, Ruby intends to prevent the Alliance from destroying Earth. On some unexpected events she has helped Ran to escape and awaken her Boscheat powers to become the vessel of communication between the Gransazers and the Warp Monarch.

[edit] Villains

[edit] Karin Saeki

The real name of this Akelon is not known, for it impersonated the deceased scientist Karin Saeki upon its arrival on Earth. Acting as a guide to the Wind Tribe, she convinced them that the other Sazers were their rivals and only in the way. Subtly, she built a romance with Akira to even further tie him to her. Once discovered, Karin showed her true Akelon identity, facing various Sazers in duels without being defeated. After Akira seemingly destroyed her with his weapon, she proved the opposite by facing the Sazers another time. Her Acheron allies empowered her to an enormous monster after she lost the hand-to-hand combat.

[edit] The Impactors

[edit] Impactor Logia

Shuichi Yoshihama (Yoshihama Shuichi) /Impactor Logia (インパクター ロギア)
Logia is the devious superior of Radia and Lucia and is entrusted with the mission to destroy Earth at all costs - which he gladly executes. He doesn't care for his underlings; all that counts for him is the mission, which means more than life to him. He does everything to fulfill it: among other things, he acts in disguise, lures the Sazers into traps, and kidnaps and kills people. However, it all changes when the mission is an absolute failure and he is disgraced. He begins to recognize his subordinates' sacrifices and decides to take matters into his own hands. He fights the Sazers himself and almost kills Tenma by attempting a kamikaze on him. He tells Tenma he does not care for his life, but rather avenging the lives of Radia and Lucia and regain their honor. Due to the Impactor society's code of ethics, it disturbed the Alien Alliance; with their eventual betrayal, Logia unofficially joined the Sazers, though he still sees Tenma as an eternal rival. At the end, he knocks Belzeus and arrests him. He bids farewell to Tenma. His weapon is a gun, called the Holo-Sniper.

[edit] Impactor Lucia

Lucia, who came to earth along with Radia, is a swift and cunning fighter, using her blade as both a boomerang and as a sword. She is in love with Logia and thus gladly executes his orders, even if it means for her to push herself to the limit and beyond - she'd sacrifice everything for her love. Her weapon is the V-Sword.

[edit] Impactor Radia

Radia, who came to earth along with Lucia, is a hot-headed and fierce fighter, wielding an enormous and deadly axe in his armor. He forces himself to respect his superior Logia, but the fact that his crush, Lucia, is in love with Logia bothers Radia beyond reason. His devotion to his mission and combat is only surpassed by his devotion for Lucia. His weapon is called the Mega Axe

[edit] Bosquito

Described as a Dark Sazer, it is an alien construct which can copy the abilities of the other Sazers and use it against them. The creature itself is uncontrollable as it attacked the Alien Alliance. It can absorb humans as its energy. It was also able to Dive In Garuda and steal it from the Flame Tribe. It was defeated by Gransazers but however, it became giant Bosquito. The giant Bosquito (second form) was destroyed by DaiSazer. It eventually returns in the Seishin Crossover (Chousei Kantai Sazer-X: The Movie), replicating himself to fight off the Gransazers, Justrisers, and Sazer-X. In the movie, Bosquito is inside of the monster Bulgario (from Justirisers) built by Space Pirates. After the monster destroyed in the sea, it has awakened and absorbs the power of justice in Sazer Island so it can duplicate itself and can disguise themselves as impostor Justirisers. They are all destroyed by Gransazers, Justirisers and Sazer-X but quickly absorbed into the phantom ship so that it would form into Manmos-Bosquito. The giant Manmos-Bosquito is destroyed by Great-Lio (piloted by Lio-Sazer) using the final move, Howling Crush, which the power of Gransazers, Justirisers and Sazer-X combines the finishing attack to destroy the monster.

[edit] Yoshioka Asami

Bislian's spy who befriended Ken. Her true identity was revealed by Ran. The real Yoshioka Asami had died six months before.

[edit] Gig Fighters

The thugs of the series, spawned from special devices often carried by higher ranking members of the Alien Alliance. They are often used to hassle the protagonists, or other duties such as supervise prisoners.

[edit] Belzeus

An evil mastermind of the Algol species. He was the one who made the alien alliance think humanity descended from the Bosquito race, thus needing to be destroyed. In truth he wanted to take over earth in order to gain a vital place in conquering the universe. When Ran Saotome (Sazer Visuel) contacted the leader of Warp Monarch, Belzeus' plans were revealed. After the Gransazers destroyed his giant monster Cabryon, Logia knocked him out and arrested him.

[edit] Chouseishin

The Chouseishin (Super Star Gods) are the most powerful weapons of the ancient Earth Civilization. They remained dormant on Earth until the Gransazers were awakened, and reactivated the lost-lost relics.

Each Tribe possesses one of the four Chouseishin, which can be summoned by setting all of their Knuckle-Risers to "Chouseishin Mode". One member of the Tribe can then "Dive In" and board the machine by setting their Knuckle-Riser to "Boarding Mode". Furthermore, by setting their Knuckle-Riser to "Sazer Gear Mode" the pilot can equip their Chouseishin with a large version of their personal weapon.

Each Chouseishin has two modes, which can be switched between with a simple transformation. In Live Mode, they resemble spaceships with incredible manoveribility. In Warrior Mode, they resemble bipedal mecha, losing most of their speed but gaining immense attacking power.

[edit] Chouseishin Garuda

Garuda, which lay dormant in Houoh Mountain, is the Chouseishin of the Flame Tribe and the second of the four to be awakened. In Live Mode, Garuda is shaped after a phoenix and attacks with his guns as well as with a tackle after engulfing himself in flames. In Warrior Mode, Garuda mostly relies on his claws on the back of his fists, performing his finishing move "Firebird Slash" with them. Garuda can also summon a sword called Burning Saber. Tarious' Sazer Gear equips Garuda with a giant version of the Falcon Bow, and Lion's Sazer Gear equips Garuda with giant versions of the Double Crescents.

[edit] Chouseishin Dolcross

Dolcross (aka Dorcruz), who lay dormant in Kabuto Mountain, is the Chouseishin of the Wind Tribe and the first of the four to be awakened. In Live Mode, Dolcross is shaped after a rhinoceros beetle and attacks with his multitude of cannons as well as with full tackles. In Warrior Mode, Dolcross uses his large array of cannons and blasters to perform various attacks, his finishing move, "Hercules Hurricane", among them. Remls' Sazer Gear equips Dolcross with a giant version of the Iron Gale on his head, since Dolcross does not have proper hands to hold objects (in theory).

[edit] Chouseishin GunCaesar

GunCaesar, which lay dormant in Shishioh Desert, is the Chouseishin of the Earth Tribe and the third of the four to be awakened. In Live Mode, GunCaesar is shaped after a liger and attacks with his cannons as well as with his claws. In Warrior Mode, GunCaesar uses his cannons, the Liger Riots, as hand blasters. He performs his finishing move, "Gravity Burst", with them. Tawlon's Sazer Gear equips GunCaesar with a giant version of the Bull Cannon.

[edit] Chouseishin Leviathan

Leviathan, which lay dormant within Shinkujira Island, is the Chouseishin of the Water Tribe and the fourth to be awakened when the Impactors arrive on Earth. In Live Mode, Leviathan has a whale-like shape and uses his body for ramming attacks. In Warrior Mode, Leviathan is armed with the Maelstrom Blades which can be used for his finishing move "High Tide Break". Furthermore, he is equipped with the Ocean Shield which can be used for his another finishing move "Mirage Shield" which can multiply. Gorbion's Sazer Gear equips Leviathan with a giant version of the Blast Saw.

[edit] Chouseishin Guntras

Guntras is controlled by an advanced AI, superior to the other Chouseishin. Initially controlled by Logia through the Guntroller, his plan was to have Guntras collide with the Sun and trigger a nova strong enough to evaporate Earth. Tenma eventually got the Guntroller and freed Guntras, who joined up with Cloud Dragon as an ally to the Sazers. He is armed with an array of deadly weapons, among them a laser battery on his chest, a cannon on his forehead and missile launchers on his body. He can fire and immediately replace his fists, and his powerful feet can create devastating shockwaves.

[edit] Gasshinjuuou Daisazer

Daisazer is the assembled form of Guntras, Garuda, Dorcruz, GunCaesar and Leviathan. Guntras forms the main body, head and feet; Garuda for chest, cranium, and back; Dolcross for the legs; GunCaesar for the right arm and the shoulder cannons; and Leviathan for the left arm and the tail. Combined, Daisazer has a very aggressive and archaic mind of its own. All four pilots have to focus in order to control Daisazer. Daisazer is a very deadly creature and it is armed with a deflector as well as a laser array on its chest, but Daisazer mostly relies on brute force to deal with its opponents. Daisazer has been nicknamed "Sazer Godzilla" by the fanbase, because of its resemblence to Godzilla, but it also holds a resemblence to Dragon Caeser and V-Rex from Super Sentai.

[edit] Chouseijuuren Cloud Dragon

Cloud Dragon is as old as the Chouseishin, another remnant of the ancient civilization and not controlled by anyone. When is first appeared, is saved Garuda from being destroyed by Dolcross and took him with it up into the sky. It can carry and repair all Chou Seishin as well as Guntras at the same time, releasing them upon the call of the Sazers. When not needed, Cloud Dragon circles the earth in space, guarding it from invaders. The weapon of Cloud Dragon is the Galactica Prominence Cannon, a devastating blaster capable of blowing entire asteroids to pieces.

[edit] Other Mecha

[edit] DaiLogian

Dailogian is Logia's personal mecha. It is a black humanoid robot patterned after a wolf and its power is almost equal to Daisazer's. Unlike his subordinates, Lucia and Radia, Logia cannot grow into a giant; instead, he summons his mecha, which is always on standby in outer space, and which Logia alone can summon. It can absorb beam attacks through its chest and redirect them back to the opponents. It first fought with Daisazer and was defeated when Daisazer ripped off its arm. The second time was when Logia and Tenma fought one on one in their respective mechas with Tenma barely securing the victory. After DaiLogian was defeated, it was taken by the Japan Self-Defense Force for study. It reactivated, then busted out of the Japan Self-Defense Force holding area, when Logia returned to Earth to seek vengeance against the Sazers. Afterwards, Logia used it as a mode of transport.

[edit] Type-05 GS Assist Robot "Yuuhi"

Yuuhi was built loosely after the design of DaiLogian by the Japanese Self-Defense Force in response to the alien attacks. The only known mode of Yuuhi is the humanoid mode, where he can access his weapons, a 120-mm dual cannon as well as two arrays of six missile launchers each. Unlike the Chou Seishin, Youhi is piloted externally through a head gear and launched from an underground bunker. While he has no finishing move, Yuuhi can stand its own pretty well, for not only he has powerful armor and physical strength but also quickly replenishing weapons.

[edit] Type-05 GS Assist Tank "Asahi"

Asahi is Yuuhi's support mecha. It vaguely resembles an M4 Sherman.
