This article is about a series entry (the 4th) in the Metal Hero Series.

For the title character, see Juspion.

MegaBeast Investigator Juspion (巨獣特捜ジャスピオン Kyojū Tokusō Jasupion?, Lit. "MegaBeast Special Investigation Juspion") is a Japanese tokusatsu television series and part of the Metal Hero Series. Produced by Toei Company, it was originally broadcast from March 3, 1985 to March 24, 1986, running for 46 episodes. The name "Juspion" is a portmanteau of "Justice" and "Champion". Juspion is the only Metal Hero series to focus on giant robot combat. MegaBeast Investigator Juspion was aired in Brazil through the now-defunct TV Manchete, becoming extremely popular in that country under the marketing name "O Fantástico Jaspion" and Korean video dub name "Invincible Jasphion (무적의 쟈스피온) (mujeog-ui jyaseupion)". The character was so insanely popular that he even gained his own comic book series and it's still considered one of the greatest Japanese super heroes by many Brazilian fans. It was also aired in Indonesia & France, where only a few episodes of the show were dubbed & transmitted. It was also the first series to air on Mondays instead of Fridays, starting with episode 35.

For distribution purposes, Toei refers to this television series as simply Juspion.

A film remake of the show is set to be made in Brazil & will be released in 2021-2022. It is said Toei will be involved. [1]

On August 12, 2018, it was announced that a BD release with English subtitles is to be handled by Discotek Media. It was released on August 27, 2019, making it the first Metal Heroes DVD/Blu-Ray to be released in North America in its original form. [2]

Plot[]

While reading the Galactic Bible, Eijin learns of a shocking prophecy: When the dark god Satan Gorth awakens, the universe will be ravaged by giant monsters filled with rage. After Satan Gorth appears and the prophecy is set in motion, Eijin orders Juspion, who Eijin has been tutoring, to stop him and combat the corrupted MegaBeasts. He travels with his friends in the Daileon.

Video Release Name[]

The official Toei video releases in the '80s 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.
