Saikyo Robo Daioja

Saikyō Robo Daiōja (最強ロボ ダイオージャ, Saikyō Robo Daiōja?, lit. Daiōja the Strongest Robot), is an anime television series produced by the animation company Sunrise.

In Italy the series is unpublished, however in Italian toy stores have arrived models depicting the robot that appears in this series. In fact, it seems that this anime was also to land in Italy (like the Brave Raideen), so much so that various "vintage toys" were already ready, much sought after by collectors.

The rights to this series had been acquired by the VID publishing house (the same as Gundam), but this anime never had the opportunity to be broadcast.

Plot

The story tells the vicissitudes of Mito, prince of Edon, who rules 51 stars of the Ipron System. He travels in disguise between the worlds he rules in the company of two faithful attendants. When he discovers abuses of power and harassment of his subjects, to punish the evil administrators, he reveals himself using the Daioja, the Super Robot of the imperial family, born from the union of three robots.

The anime is freely inspired, reinterpreting it in a science fiction key, to the historical figure of Mitsukuni Tokugawa (Mitokomon), a noble scholar who loved to dress as a peasant and go around his fiefdom secretly controlling the effective administration of justice by vassals and who, faced with the presence of embezzlement, revealed himself by punishing the unfaithful administrator.

The robot

The name of the robot, although transcribed in katakana syllabary, comes from the word 大王者, daiōja, or Great Ruler. As for the appearance, Daioja takes concepts and design from other Sunrise robots, in particular a certain resemblance to the much more famous Daitarn 3 stands out.

The robot results from the combination (called Cross Triangle) of three anthropomorphic mecha: Ace Redder (the robot piloted by Mito himself), Aoider (the robot piloted by the faithful Suke) and Cobalter (the robot piloted by the faithful Kaku). Each of the robots has a symbol in the shape of a stylized leaf on its chest: joining the robots also come together, so as to form a larger symbol that closely resembles that of the ancient and powerful Japanese family of the Tokugawa.

Among the weapons supplied to the robot, there are two jitte, a weapon used by the samurai of the Edo Period.
