Chargeman Ken! 35 "Dynamite in the Brain"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Chargeman Ken's an anime series that was first broadcast in 1973. This is one of the more popular episodes for obvious reasons.
Most episodes are thirty minutes to an hour of plot packed into the short time span of 5 minutes. Things happen fast, the hero of the series does some pretty unheroic things, and much fun is had.
English subtitles are by me. If people really want to download the video itself I can add a download link at some point.
Imagine being a distinguished scientist at the height of your career when your important meeting is interrupted by a 10-year-old boy who kidnaps you and then dumps you from an aircraft.
Wow how weird I said something similar to this 3 weeks ago and at the same time we wrote it expect I wrote it in a reply and you commented it
Is he even the real professor? The kid said he's been turned into a robot
@@ram7870 How does the kid know that, anyway? He just saw him getting taken away. They could have implanted a bomb in him without killing him.
@@Yglorba Idk, I just assumed he scanned the insides of the prof/robot
Also you are a human robot bomb
*_CHRIST CHARGEMAN YOU CAN'T JUST USE OLD PEOPLE AS BOMBS_*
Fuck imagine that some random kid kidnaps you and tells you have a bomb in your head and your going to die and before saying anything throws you at the enemies
X'D
@@calmgoodfire4662 creepy that's like horror movie stuff
Ha ha scientist go boom
Objective : Uses an old man to explode an alien ship
Ken didn't even make an attempt to save the real Professor Volga.
He had to watch the dinosaur movie xD
@@inakiaraquistain5731 it was a good movie tbf
I love how the "Murder Passenger" button doesn't even have a safety cover. Probably right next to the serve-coffee button or something.
Ken probably implemented it with his younger sister in mind, but didn't get the occasion to use it just yet...
Just like Birdman’s Doomsday button 😂😂😂
This anime was the inspiration for Monsters vs Aliens
I'm pretty sure every button is the murder passengers button
Director: Yeah, it is shitty, but how much shittier can you make it?
Animator: Oh, boy... You have no idea...
+TheWadriner Actually, animators escaped from the production and went to a beach when they were making this series. According to director.
Yes I know this episode is only 5 minutes long, but I reeeally want to put an unrelated 1 minute dinosaur fight in
It might’ve made more sense if they put that after and not before the scene where they were going on about movie snacks.
I mean, if you're going to make a bad anime, might as well include anything you want😂
"Starting from scary movie scene in theatre and a girl got terrified"...... Michael Jackson was clearly inspired by this episode and used in his legendary music vid "Thriller ". - K.V.Juralien
it did keep me invested ngl ;D
Worth it
...I thought Kenny Lauderdale was exaggerating. ...My god.
I don't know if I feel more empty or more complete after watching this.
I am so glad this is in my recommendation
I take it back.
Have you seen the one involving a piano? It's on retro crush's YT channel. Pure nightmare fuel.
Kenny Lauderdale does not exaggerate.
"He is definitely looking at it from the skies above."
"Because I dropped him out of my hovercar at 3000 feet! Eh, eh?"
"Too soon, Ken."
The amazing thing is: If you have Professor Volga saying "Ken; please forgive me!" and he pushed the white button, falling to his death (literally changing only two shots and one line of dialogue); this would have been a great moment in the series as Volga becomes a real hero by choice and gets his revenge on the Juralians who kidnapped him. The writers DID have an out for Ken to save face and they chose to have Ken be the one to cause Volga's death. Also made the final scene look disgusting in hindsight too.
Really makes you wonder if Ken was based on some writer's shitty little nephew or something.
+Allan's eyebrows Actually, Ken was based on Peter Hurkos according to director.
Gregory Weagle you know what I would've done? Since. the Jurailians remodeled the Doctor after they killed him I would've made it so that when Ken reveals the truth the Doctor would've turned into an evil monster and tried to kill Ken. That way Ken dropping him out of the ship would've been in self-defense. Not to mention we wouldn't feel sorry for the doctor because he was already long gone and nothing more than a Jurailian weapon now.
Ken straight up vaporized another dude after pretending like he was gonna fight him. Kid is cold blooded.
That’s way too good writing for the makers of this anime
You can always tell a show is going to be hilarious when the first 16 seconds are a close up of a T-Rex yelling.
And it's yell is Godzilla's.
They wasted a good Minute of their five minute episode on something that didn't even matter. It's baffling.
NEVER SEE THE DINOSAURS AGAIN 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Guess what the stegosauruses yells were
Gamera's
Dynamite is stored in the brain.
Boom boom I guess
Think
Think
T h i n k
*B R A I N B L A S T*
The dynamite is the powerhouse of the brain.
so they killed the dude, put his consciousness into a perfect replica robot without him realising, and then stuffed its head with dynamite?
back when you got away with these things 😂
What people don't realize is 'Dynamite In The Brain' is the actual subtitle for this entire series.
My favorite part is where he finds out the professor is a robot and then one frame later he's outside and flying while holding the professor.
There was no time for a transition... The dinosaur at the beginning was VITAL to the episode
@@elgatochurro I can't argue with that.
If only modern anime could be this good.
ikr
Fr fr
Fr tho
Better than AoT
Wow, even in JAPAN they use Godzilla's roar as as a stock sound effect.
And Gameras too apparently
Of all the pure INSANITY that is chargeman ken, an INFAMOUS ANIME, and it’s most INFAMOUS EPISODE, is that the Godzilla roar is stock.
This episode epitomizes CK's unique approach to pacing. 50 seconds out of a 5-minute episode are spent on an unrelated monster movie, and there is a flashback to events shown less than a minute before.
The whole series was made on a literal shoestring budget, only ¥500,000 an episode. Just produced to fill air space on the station. Hell, most of the crew would blow off work to go to the beach.
@@ianfinrir8724 honestly, good for them
"ken go home"
"HE HAS A BOMB IN HIS SKULL"
How to induce alcohol poisoning: watch the entire series but take a shot every time Random Hair-kun shows up.
"So we have couple of seconds unused. Should we use it to tell Dr. Volga's past?"
"That's a good idea, but you know what? Let's have a dinosaurs-fight instead."
Poor volga, but at least we built a city - Chargeman Ken
"Dr Volga, forgive me"
~ Ken 'Chargeman Ken' Izumi, 1974
Oh no, we're under fire!
JETTISON THE ELDERLY!
This made me laugh more than it should have.
I love that they decided to do a flashback for a scene that happened literally 30 seconds ago.
I'll save you professor Volga!.... ah .... shit ... no, nevermind.
Yes
Oh boy, this is...this is...
I have no words if it's "Poor Pr.Volga."
Best anime ever
In Loving memory of Professor Volga, 1903-1975
" the hero of the series does some pretty unheroic things, and much fun is had." Haha yeah throwing away the victim and letting him be blown up sure isn't heroic xD
Japan loves Chargeman Ken so much that they turned it into a musical.
Best anime ever
They give everything a musical in Japan, Resident Evil has its own musical...which I kinda want to see.
Wow... Kenny was right. He was fucking right. This show is everything I never wanted and I can't stop watching
Sometimes you need to just yeet an explosive old man at an alien spacecraft. It happens.
Volga: What's the meaning of this?
Ken: Dr.Volga, you're already dead.
Volga: ???
Ken: *opens hatch* ... see what I did there?
Yes professor Volga most be looking from the sky... And cursing Ken.
I like to imagine it going down like this before that science conference :
Jural Leader:”How are you feeling after that operation doctor? We apologize for the abduction, but we couldn’t risk having Chargeman Ken interrupting our conversation as he has a tendency to murder us before we can even respond.”
Dr. Volga: “I feel a lot better, that implant you gave me cured the problems I have had with agonizing seizures my whole life. And these new joints you’ve given me have made me feel like a young man again.”
Jural leader: “It was the least we could do, after all you helped us realize not all humans are determined to kill us in the most hostile way possible. With your bringing up our intentions for peace at your conference I’m sure our two races can come to a peaceful understanding that mutually benefits us both.”
Dr. Volga:”Yes I agree I believe they will be blown away by your reconstruction technology that can help remedy aging ailments and injuries, Ken is still young but I’m sure even after he sees the gift you’ve given me an intend to share with mankind he’ll come around. That said your races tendencies to laugh sinisterly when discussion of things that could be misunderstood as threats and aggression are really things you need to work on before I introduce you to the council ”
Jural Leader:”i understand this doctor, on our planet this is just how we indicate anxiousness and nervousness.... oh also I must warn you though for your own safety, the implant used in your head can have a violent reaction with our ship’s complex space engine ... being in the vicinity of it when it’s powered up and airborne would cause a violent explosion.”
Dr. Volga: Well I wasn’t planning to do any skydiving over one of your ships anytime soon”
*both have a hardy chuckle before the Jurals escort the doctor to the conference*
I'm gonna pretend this is actually what happened.
This is so funny lol
@@kirbyofthestarsfan Is it though?
Is this really funny, or is it actually quite tragic?
@@Myuutsuu85Bit of A, bit of B.
Perfection.
It's amazing that they can pack so much yet so little into 5 minutes.
Need to... Bruh I've seen this like 10 times... I gotta rewatch it now
Forgive me doc. Vodka!
*Owouuuuuuoooahhhhh*
*_Michael bay explode_*
Chargeman Ken makes 60's Spiderman literally Madhouse. *wtf*
So bad it's good.
Indeed, it is.
Nah... It's soo bad that makes me re think my life decisions
@@bruh......2005and that makes this show good.
I guess he just like, saw someone get kidnapped and went home to watch TV.
"Most episodes are thirty minutes to an hour of plot packed into the short time span of 5 minutes."
No.....just no.

It's not that you cant follow the plot, it's the complete absence of context surrounding the plot that really takes this to the next level
They explained that the doctor is fake....to us. The characters, beside Ken, are still COMPLETELY CLUELESS and they just kinda cool with a kid, barged in, said that one of the greatest mind of Japan, is fake, yanked him away, and threw him out if the middle of the air
I think they are just scared of trying to even stop him.
This makes the original He-Man look brilliantly animated. XD
Like a masterpiece
I like He-Man, no matter how outdated it is now.
@@FauZhee same
And geez, I don't remember posting that joke?
"Heeeeee-maaaaannnnnn
and the masters-
OF THE UNIVERSEEEEE"
lmao its been 5 years since i last saw that show,no wonder i was having deja vu in art-style
Vivi Fawkes i mean it was 10 years ago
This is what happens when cocaine makes its way to a Japanese animation studio forced to produce 60+ 5 minute episodes at a very, very low budget. Insanity happens.
Kenshiro: You're already dead
Chargeman Ken: You were murdered
This show is dynamite.... in the brain!
I feel though this show went through my ear to my brain and out the other ear. This is something I never thought was possible.
"Let me transform and take this random spaceship so that I can drop you and you can explode"😟😟
I really, really like how the dinosaur at 0:15 speaks in distorted guitar for two seconds.
Kenny Lauderdale wasn't lying about the 5 minutes
I can see why this episode is called Dynamite in the Brain because it gives me mental damage every time I watch it
Until about 3:31 it was cohesive, then it was like BAM SUDDENLY WE'RE NEAR THE END OF THE PLOT
No it wasn't, how did the T-rex relate to anything?
he just stole professor volga and when realized he can't help, just used him as an explosive weapon
How often do you think ol ken has used the “ drop passenger” button? I bet it’s one of his favorite buttons to use
God, what am I doing with my life in quarantine?
Something I see in all the Charge Man Ken episodes is fascinating...if they literally had FIVE MORE MINUTES to expand and explain the plot these episodes would all make sense. Seriously, it works if you literally add five minutes of dialogue to explain.
THE TRANSFORMING ANIMATION AND DINOSAUR AT THE BEGINNING WERE ENTIRELY NECESSARY I TELL YOU
Yeah, they would definitely add to the one minute dinosaur opening if they got an extra five
Each episode was made for ¥500,000...and it shows
One thing is that the production knack produced an anime named "Attacker You!". This anime wasn't famous like Chargman Ken!, but famous in some area as "Jeanne et Serge/Mila e Shiro due cuori nella pallavolo". Some of you might know.
Wow, this show is really from a different time. Now a days, most anime focus on stretching out the episodes with shit loads of padding and mountains of filler. Chargeman Ken don't give a fuck.
Dude, they flashed back to something that happened 30 SECONDS AGO.
Does he actually think this is a good kind of “different”
Jose Osorio 😂😂😂😂😂😂
yet it still is full of padding and filler.
Old Fred: Now whatever you do, don't touch that button!
Ringo: Which button...?
Old Fred: That one!
Ringo: ...This one? 4:28
Ken "Poor Professor Volga."
Volga "I see ..."
I know now everyone is talking about the insanity of the brain bomb but is no one going to mention this episode wasted almost an entire minuet trying to pull the lamest bait and switch reveal....in a show that is only about 5 minuets long?!
How does a 5 minute episode feels like 1 hour
Because the plot of a scientist being turned into a bomb and the subsequent moral quandary of using the robot scientist as a bomb to stop the Juralians is a plot better suited for an hour-long thing.
I have no idea why the algorithm thought I should see this, but I'm glad it did.
It was just his pace maker lmao
He just yeeted out the professor 😂 and somehow there was no gravity and the professor directly landed on the alien spaceship 🤣 lmao this is hilarious 😆
How does Ken know the dynamite is in his brain and not his pocket? And when Volga was tooken in the first place, why didn't Ken give chase?
I’m here from Kenny.
So...the aliens have the technology to turn someone into a robot with a bomb in his head, but they still hook said bomb up to a presumably *analog* timer, given that it ticks?
Clearly the Juralians cannot make good plans, but they are great at using all aspects of science.
comprehending the entirety of this episode had me losing and costing me brain cells and sanity.... and all of it still werent enough to comprehend such abomination
"If people really want to download the video itself I can add a download link at some point.".
That would be much appreciated!
Now that's what I call a boomer.
hahahahaha
This is the best anime I've ever seen!!!
God I’ve never seen something so amaz- blea nope can’t say it
Yeah.
Can't wait to try this on my grandpa!
The animation in this show is top-notch.
That's a 7 years old comment, right?
This anime was so bad it was good. XD
This literally, without a doubt, is the greatest gd thing I've ever seen in my whole life, hands down. 10/10 would watch again. No notes. Better than a fucking marvel movie.
This was the first time since 2017 that I watched this crap. Thanks a lot, TV Tropes! 👍😂
I feel like I've reached enlightenment after watching this.
I like how it shows a flashback to something that literally happened 30 seconds ago
Damn Straight, Immediately to the Main Point.
No Fillers, No Hard Feelings :P
Insanity level over 9000!
This gets even more hilarious with captions on xDDD
I know this show has way more problems, but how did they get away with just straight up stealing the sound of Godzilla.
It wasn't patented or copyrighted (and the latter was a dubious concept in Japan in the 1970s).
Godzilla is public domain
This is only 5 minutes yet feels like 30
They killed him, turned him into a cyborg and planted a bomb in his brain? They should have went with a robot copy that has a self-destruct system. Instead they went for the less obvious choice. Chargeman Ken is truly the anime of all time.
3:25 - Oh, it's so much better than I could've hoped.
Ken is probably treating the professor as a weapon.
But ... why he didn't stop the aliens when they were shooting him? I mean... he knew they were aliens right? Oh my God this anime will drive me crazy
That Aliens didnt even see that coming
I laughed so hard, I'm crying
This video is 11 years ago
And still, it appear on my recommend after I just watched a video about how bad this is =)
That evil laugh 2:26
That everything! ...ow my sides.
Oman, you gotta translate more of these. No.1 Anime
There's even an Anime - themed podcast naed after this episode!
1:28 wasnt there supposed to be a gunshot or something here? Or did he die from the shock of someone pointing a gun at him?
insufficient budget to add a gunshot sound
Alas Volga we hardly knew ya!
Chargeman Ken can solo all other anime shows like Dragonball,One Piece,Naruto,One Punch Man,Hellsing.
CHANGE MY MIND...
If nothing else, at least it didn´t become stupid neverending soap-opera like them :D
Chargeman Ken once included two frames of someone's (possibly an animator's) hand during an episode.😒
@@SeaDog1667-1st
Sad that you couldn't catch the sarcasm.
They once animated a scene in reverse, as if it was completely normal for the episode.
Wow that was more abrupt than I thought it would be
Another example of good ol' days
There are so many questions that need to be asked...
2:30 "Das gibt's doch nich" lmao
lol
I wonder how many non-japanese people undestand how funny this anime is.XD
Very many.
A lot
