MegaBeast Investigator Juspion (巨獣特捜ジャスピオン, Kyojū Tokusō Jasupion), also known as Space Wolf Juspion or simply Juspion, is a Japanese tokusatsu television series and part of the Metal Hero Series franchise.^[1] Produced by Toei Company, it was originally broadcast from 15 March 1985 to 24 March 1986, running for 46 episodes. For distribution purposes, Toei refers to this television series as Jaspion.^[2]

While reading the Galactic Bible, the space hermit Edjinn learns of a shocking prophecy: When the dark god Satan Goth awakens, the universe will be ravaged by giant monsters filled with rage. After Satan Goth appears and the prophecy is set in motion, Edjinn orders Juspion, who Edjinn has been tutoring, to stop him and combat the corrupted MegaBeasts. Juspion travels with his friends Anri the android and Miya the alien across the galaxy in his battleship Daileon to confront Satan Goth and his army. Eventually, Juspion land on Earth, which, it turns out, is a prolific source of MegaBeasts (it is explained that the dinosaurs were part of that group), and many of them are still asleep in various locations.

Amongst Juspion's arsenal, there is his Metal Tech Suit armor, made of a very rare mineral called Edjinium and equipped with a visor called Sensor Eye that can scan the environment with x-ray and night vision, and his Plasma Blazer Sword, which can be contracted for storage and can be infused with the plasma during combat, and his Beam Scanner Gun. His warship Daileon also houses the Super Planetary Combat Tank Garbin, which doubles as the Garbin Jet, and a motorcycle vehicle called Super Planetary Machine Iron Wolf. Daileon itself can transform into a giant robot called Super Planetary Battle Giant Daileon. Daileon is frequently Juspion's final and most devastating tool to be used against MegaBeasts.

Based on the silver Super Planetary Battleship Daileon (超惑星戦闘母艦ダイレオン, Chō Wakusei Sentō Bokan Daireon), Juspion travels across worlds to pursue Satan Goth. When facing a rampaging MegaBeast, Juspion converts Daileon into the Super Planetary Combat Giant Daileon (超惑星戦闘巨人ダイレオン, Chō Wakusei Sentō Kyojin Daireon) to defeat MegaBeasts with its Cosmic Crash double punches.

  The main hero of the series, Juspion is an orphan raised by Edjinn, until he embarks on his quest to fight the MegaBeasts and defeat Satan Goth. Juspion travels between planets to stop Satan Goth until he arrives on Earth. His Metal-Tech suit is made from the very rare galactic mineral Edjinium and grants superhuman capabilities to its owner. The name "Juspion" is a portmanteau of "Justice" and "Champion"

  Photographer Kenichirou Nanbara (南原 健一郎, Nanbara Ken'ichirō), his older daughter Kanoko Nanbara (南原 かの子, Nanbara Kanoko) and his younger son Kenta Nanbara (南原 健太, Nanbara Kenta) became closely linked with Juspion when Kenichirou took a photo of the Golden Bird.

• The Golden Bird (黄金の鳥, Ōgon no Tori)
  The guardian phoenix god of the galaxy, a manifestation of the energies of righteousness. The bird scattered itself into seven lights that choose Juspion, Kanoko, along with four other children, and a baby born from the light to serve as its vessels until all seven are brought together so that Golden Bird can leave their bodies and become whole again for the final battle with Satan Goth, turning itself into a Golden Sword (黄金の剣, Ōgon no Tsurugi) used by Daileon to slay Super Satan Goth.
• Tarzan (ターザン, Tāzan) (46)
  A baby mentioned in a prophecy in the Galactic Bible born from one of the seven lights of the Golden Bird, he landed on Earth, sleeping in a life support pod, as the sole survivor of a spaceship attacked by pirates.

• Satan Goth (サタンゴース, Satan Gōsu)
  A being born of the negative energy of the cosmos, the great god-demon whose revival was foretold in the Galactic Bible with the power to enrage the creatures, turning them in vicious monsters. Satan Goth's objective is to create a MegaBeast Empire in the galaxy and rule it from the Planet of the MegaBeasts. Originally a giant pupil stage resembling a cross between Darth Vader and Megatron, in the endgame arc, Satan Goth reaches the peak of his power and molts to become Great Satan Goth (大サタンゴース, Dai Satan Gōsu), possessing a Cthulhu-like appearance and the power to bend nature to his will, turning cities into forests overnight. He was defeated by the Daileon Cosmic Harley (ダイレオンコズミックハーレー, Daireon Kozumikku Hārē) attack where Daileon brandished a Golden Sword created by the Golden Bird in the final episode.

  The son of Satan Goth and his heir to the MegaBeast Empire. Juspion's antagonist throughout the series, he is capable of fighting him with his sword (similar to Juspion's) and with his black VTOL 6-legged insectoid walker/plane. He wears a reminiscent black Metal-Tech suit similar to Juspion's and can take on human form. Madgallant is destroyed once by Juspion in episode 29, but is soon resurrected by Gilza; in the penultimate episode of the series, he has a climatic final battle with Juspion. After being badly injured by Juspion in this battle and furious by refusing to admit that a "mere human" could be stronger than a super life-form, he turns himself into a giant Satan Goth for a few moments, similar to his father's first form, and tries to attack the hero, but due to being previously wounded he returns to his original form and dies right after.

  • Zampa (ザンパ, Zanpa) (13-18)
    Evil android who wrongly blamed Gary and Anna for mobilizing the Galactic Federation against him and destroying his Machine Empire. As revenge, Zampa attacked Juspion's family's spaceship, forcing a disastrous crash land that killed them both, leaving only Juspion to survive. His main weapon was a kusarigama, and he transformed into his android form with superior strength and endurance, and the ability to fire concussive lasers from his eyes. Still, even so Juspion managed to destroy him, thus avenging his deceased family.
  • Brima (ブリマ, Burima) and Gyol (ギョール, Gyōru) (13-44)
    The two women who became Madgallant's personal bodyguards after Ikki's and Zampa's deaths by Juspion. Brima is a dark prophet with white clothing and a ball-shaped helmet, her main weapons were a crystal ball and occasional magic daggers; Gyol is a spy and disguise master clad in basic red and black space armor, her main weapon is a combination of spear/flute/blowgun, not only could she shoot the blade on the end forward to explode against Juspion, but she could also play a tune on it to transform herself and others into different forms (such as disguising herself into a bird to spy on others, or to turn other people into animals to get this one boy to use his skills to draw Juspion being defeated). She could also use the flute to control others' minds but as a result of Juspion's power armor he was immune to her flute, however, she could cause him to suffer vertigo so as to teleport herself and others to safety. In their final appearance, their weapons were destroyed by Juspion, resulting in them magically combining themselves into a wolf-beast form to attack Juspion, who defeated the beast with his Cosmic Halley fatal attack, killing both.
• Zamurai (ザムライ) (19)
  A sea coral-shielded seal-faced undead samurai warrior who lived deep in the sea since his imprisonment 900 years ago - in a flashback explaining that time, under his real name Tokifusa Unno, Zamurai planned to kill respected general Minamoto no Yoritomo for the Heikei in exchange for a huge reward, but he was defeated by Minamoto and was imprisoned in the sea, bringing forth his current story; back to present day, he and Madgallant worked on a plan to create dolphin missile-launchers to destroy submarines and battleships around the world in exchange for control over the MegaBeast Empire's dolphin farm. Zamurai fights with a spear and hidden swords and is practically immortal thanks to leeching off of his MegaBeast Seablur's life force.
• Girarist (ギラリスト, Girarisuto) (20)
  A mariachi-looking space murderer (with his own Mexican-sounding background music). He lured Juspion into a cave to study all of the hero's weapons and powers in order to kill and entomb him forever.

• Enchantress Chikita (魔女千北, Majo Chikita) (22)
  Brima's teacher of dark arts, she placed a curse on Kanoko to try to discover where the Golden Bird is. She had many supernatural abilities, including powers of illusion and shooting spider webs from her hands to entangle Juspion. She also used her pet giant Spida to attack Juspion, aiding it by using her illusions to make it impossible for any enemy to detect her true location. Juspion later discovered that Spida was an illusion made by Chikita and fired his Daileon Beam at it.
• Gasami brothers (ガサミ兄弟, Gasami Kyodai)
  Space mercenary brothers who pillaged and destroyed several planets (amidst them Koko's planet Dodo). Gasami the Younger (ガサミ弟, Gasami Otōto) (25) is first terminated by Juspion; in a devilish attempt to avenge his brother, Gasami the Elder (ガサミ兄, Gasami Ani) (25 & 26) (along with MegaBeast Boga) tackles the hero and gets destroyed as well.

• AI-GER Man (アイガーマン, Aigāman) (28)
  An android with a western face who extensively studied Juspion's and Daileon's attributes in order to predict their attacks. He and his MegaBeast AI-GER could only be defeated when Juspion performed a new fighting move unknown to AI-GER Man, causing the latter's downfall.
• Galactic Witch Gilza (銀河魔女ギルザ, Gingamajo Giruza) (29-36)
  An alien witch who was responsible for bringing Madgallant back to life when he was first defeated in battle by Juspion. Gilza is precisely an expert in curses and general dark arts. Gilza had successfully removed Juspion's soul with a potion but it was returned to him shortly after. She had with her an enchanted knife that was her focus in battle and used it to try to remove Juspion's soul during the last fight. Her knife was the only thing that could harm her and Juspion used it to weaken her and finally defeat Gilza with the Cosmic Halley attack.
• Silk (シルク, Shiruku), Genga (ゲンガ), and Zauru (ザウル) (31)
  Three yakuza-styled mobsters (Silk is human while Genga and Zauru are his cyborg hirelings), hunted down incessantly by Boome-Run for provoking several wars in the world. They allied with Madgallant in a double, menacing plan of kidnapping several children and demanding a ransom in the form of gold bars stolen from the Japan National Bank. This plan, however, was to divert Juspion and US Marshal Boome-Run's attention while Madgallant worked on his plan: to sink Japan's islands into the ocean by nuking them with small nuclear warheads. Silk is perhaps the only human in the entire series to be defeated by Juspion's Cosmic Halley attack, perishing along with his two bodyguards.

• Gilmaza (ギルマーザ, Girumāza) (39-46)
  The "Specter Queen" of the Dark Galaxy and Gilza's elder sister, debuting shortly after Gilza's death. In order to receive some of Satan Goth's evil power, Gilmaza infiltrated several planets across the universe and slowly caused the extinction of these civilizations through futile strategies - such as, in Planet Zabos, by prophesizing the youth to the Church of Satan Goth, corrupting them and causing the planet to spiral into crime; or, in Planet Sweet, by cleverly manipulating the leaders of East and West, leading them ultimately to nuclear war disguised as a sorceress. She died with Madgallant's foot soldiers after Satan Goth was killed and the energy he released vaporized them all. She has her Space Ninjas as her top soldiers.
• Space Ninjas (宇宙忍者, Uchū Ninja)
  Gilmaza's top soldiers created through her black magic, they wear suits of black armor differing only in the color of their forehead plates (which name them after the element they represent, in a conception taken directly from Taoism). They all have two "default attacks" (a plasmic projectile with the same color of their forehead plates and a kind of "plasma sword", both channeled via their hands) and one peculiar fighting "special technique" (except for Water). They only revealed their true forms after having their heads split open by Juspion's Plasma Blazer Sword.
  • Space Ninja Fire (宇宙忍者 カ, Uchū Ninja Ka, Red forehead plate) (39-43)

  • Space Ninja Earth (宇宙忍者 ドウ, Uchū Ninja Dō, White/Silver forehead plate) (39)
    His "special technique" has him burrowing deep into the earth to provoke massive earthquakes or ambush careless enemies; his true form is of a flying skeletal centipede-like demon that has powerful jaws, can project plasma discharges and create a holographic illusion of itself with double size, thus increasing attack power.
  • Space Ninja Water (宇宙忍者 スイ, Uchū Ninja Sui, Blue forehead plate) (39 and 40)
    Unlike the other four ninjas, he never exhibited any "special technique" of his own, thus being limited to default attacks; his true form is of a kind of spiked satellite/steel orb which shoots powerful electric discharges and sticks physically into any surface to drain energy through physical contact.
  • Space Ninja Wood (宇宙忍者 モク, Uchū Ninja Moku, Green forehead plate) (39-42)
    His "special technique" allows him to fire green gravity beams from his fingertips; his true form is of a space fighter wearing white clothing with a horrible demonic mask and fighting with a naginata, in similarity with a kabuki artist.

• In its home country of Japan, the official Toei video releases in the 1980s listed in English, below the title, "Space Wolf Juspion" (named after the ending theme for instance). This has created some confusion and has led some to believe that is the actual title of the series and translation of "Kyojuu Tokusou." The Space Wolf name is simply one of Juspion's nicknames much like the "Galactic Tarzan" in order for him to have a title to introduce himself by.
• In Thailand, the series was broadcast on three different channels over the years there. It first aired on Channel 5 in 1985. Then it aired a second time on Channel 7 from 1987 to 1988 and aired every Sunday at 10:00AM. Then in 2000, it aired with a new Thai dub on MCOT handled mainly by Nirun Boonyarattaphan and his team and was shown under Space Fox Juspion (จิ้งจอกอวกาศจัสเปี้ยน). Video Square also distributed this Thai dub onto home video.
• In France, the series aired as Jaspion with a French dub licensed and produced by AB Groupe with the dubbing work by Studio SOFRECI. It aired on the Club Dorothée block on TF1 on August 31, 1988. When it originally aired, only the first twenty episodes were broadcast mainly because it was competing against its successor being Jikuu Senshi Spielban (aired as Spielvan there). Because it was also being shown around the same time and on the same channel, it caused the series to suffer. But later on, the other episodes would eventually air in due time after. It also received a VHS release in the late 1980s part of the Club Dorothée Collection by Dagobert Video.
• In 1990, it was aired on GMA Network in the Philippines with a Tagalog dub.
• In South Korea, Daeyoung Panda acquired the rights to sell VHS tapes of the series with a Korean dub and was first available on April 20, 1999 under Invincible Jaspion (거수특수 저스피온).
• During Otakon 2018, Discotek Media announced that they had licensed the show for a one-disc SD on BD release in North America.^[3] The SD Blu-ray was released on August 27, 2019. And in 2021, the complete series was streaming on Crunchyroll, making the first tokusatsu from Toei to be streaming on the service. Episodes of the show has since been added to YouTube's Toei Tokusatsu World Official channel as well.

While the series has not been very popular in its home country of Japan, the series has had a huge popularity in Brazil for decades. Toshihiko Egawara (founder of Everest Video, licensed the series for home video at the time) himself bought the series over to the region under the name "O Fantástico Jaspion" (The Fantastic Jaspion) and it premiered on the now-defunct Rede Manchete on February 22, 1988, with all episodes dubbed in Brazilian Portuguese. This was after several television networks had turned down to air the series. It premiered in Brazil on the same day as another Toei Tokusatsu series Dengeki Sentai Changeman which aired as Esquadrão Relâmpago Changeman (Lightning Squadron Changeman) on the same channel. This series was a huge hit and has enjoyed unprecedented success in that country. It was the first Metal Heroes series and the very first Tokusatsu series to be made in the 1980s to ever air in the region at a time when mostly re-runs of 1960s and 1970s tokusatsu programs were airing. Not only did more Metal Heroes series get shown, but also other tokusatsu and even anime television series later eventually aired on TV in Brazil. Everest Video also released the series on VHS and even a full DVD release with all episodes included with both the original Japanese audio with Brazilian Portuguese subtitles and the Brazilian Portuguese dub included. The series' successor Jikuu Senshi Spielban which has no connection to this series, was localized in the region under Jaspion 2: Spielvan. However, the main hero was still called Spielvan in the Brazilian Portuguese dub.

In February 2018, it was announced that Juspion would get a remake movie produced by Brazilian company Sato Company, with Toei's endorsement and approval. The movie's cast was expected to be announced in 2019, with the film set initially to be released in the early 2020s.^[4] And then in 2020, the Brazilian publisher JBC launched a comic book in manga-style titled O Regresso de Jaspion (The Return of Jaspion), with the approval of Toei. The story follows the end of the TV show.^[5]

A representative at Toei speculated about the popularity “I think that the Brazilians, who have an easy-going national character, were curious about the clear and futuristic drama and accepted it.” ^[6]
