Brazilian here. Great video as always. As a kid in the early 90's i've watched Cybercops and it was mindblowing. It had a huge scale and every battle was consequential. The rivalry between Mars and Jupiter was the best element of the show. Also it's impossible to forget Lucifer that is by far the most bad ass characther of Cybercops. Man... This video felt like a time travel... Thank u for this video.... It was awesome
Thank you so very much, Luis! I'm glad you enjoyed it. This show is so good! I hope Toho revisits in the future as I can only imagine what they could do with today's visual effects technology. The large scale of the battles in Cybercop were so ahead of their time it's hard to believe the show was made in 1988.
I have a vhs of Cybercops but dubbed in a different language. I loved watching it as a child but wanted more. Years later I finally figured out what they were called which was cybercops. I was only able to watch the Brazilian dubbed version. So I never understood the story except for the 2nd arc. It was really helpful how you explained the plot well here. I love the op and ed song of cybercops. I still have the ed song shooting star saved to my phone today.
Cybercop had a very odd relationship with Brazil, as a very popular Tokusatsu along with Kamen Rider Black. i still remember to this day being gifted the Kamen Rider Black Toy Car as a Christmas Gift... but the only memory of Cybercop that linges in my mind is that Funky Opening Song.
1000%! Given the Cybercop's popularity abroad and general affinity for the series in Japan, I would not be surprised if the series was officially revisited at some point.
Oh nice! A cybercop video! I love this show so much, my two favorite tokusatsu series are this and koseidon I even have a toy of Jupiter, nice to see this show gets some love!
Awesome! And yeah, I was surprised at the lack of videos or really any type of coverage of Cybercop on RUclips. That's partly why I finally go around to posting one. Eventually I hope to have one for Koseidon too.
Ok...lemme get this straight. Cybercop had a lot of crazy elements which till this day inspired a LOT of tokusatsu and media with moving character developments and other things that would be used till this day, had its sequel toys be used be scrapped and turn into Gridman and Metal Jack which Metal Jack is supposed to be the true sequel to Cybercops and the same writer for Metal Jack would reuse story beats in the Brave series entry - J-Decker and funny enough, during the late 90's, ANOTHER anime which had the same elements as Cybercop would then be seen in the anime Virus/Virus Buster Serge but that was directed by Masami Obari who not only worked on a bit on J-decker but was also drawing art for Hyper Red Jack from what I've seen. DAMN!! That's a huge...HUGE domino effect and Iceberg there. Cybercop - Metal Jack - J-Decker and finally Virus Buster Serge (though even though it doesn't look anything like CBC, you can see some designs of the Mark Armors there are somewhat inspired by the Cyber bits and Erika being in love with the main guy - Serge in the anime though the anime itself took a much serious approach). Now we can see Takara's unofficial trilogy...this Cybercop unofficial quadrilogy if you count Virus B. Serge since it was made by JC Staff and Hudson Soft at the time and see just how unique and insane this police force drama is.
I recently watch several episodes of Cybercop. They were good. The visual effects were not so good, but I chalk it up to being a product of its time; they were saving money because of the ambitious plans for SFX and locations that did not exist in the real world; and they may not have gotten permission to shoot at the different locations. So, I give them a pass on that. My only issue is why Tomoko did not get a BIT suit. I believe a storyline was that there was not enough money to finish hers. SMH.
Thanks for contributing your take on the series! On Tomoko not having a Bit suit, it was somewhat touched on in the series and in the supplemental manga that was running at the time. You're spot on, it came down there not being a budget for it because each bit suit was worth the same as several real world ships/rockets (I forget exactly what military gear was being described).
@@JapanHero funny how the real world reason for her mot getting a suit was addressed in the show itself. Also I did hear thar Brazil was planning on making a reunion movie. Not sure if it's going to happen.
It was originally sponsored by Kodansha and Takara. A quick Google search didn't find any info on Sega having played a role in the series back when it was originally produced.
The Kaijin in this show were called Destroids and they were separated into three groups: Harcos, Ominos, and Garoga. Harcos and Ominos used the same costumes throughout the show with only minor alterations
Thank you for sharing those details. I really didn't get to spend too much time going over the details of Death Trap so I appreciate you posting the names here. Yeah, they definitely recycled a lot of the costumes for the Destroids in this series, but they still made it work to great effect.
Oh and another thing - Malaysia too had its love for Cybercops as well which there is an English dub by Speedy Dubs: ruclips.net/video/l2gjPZNhwbk/видео.html&pp=ygURY3liZXJjb3AgbWFsYXlzaWE%3D
Hello. Obligatory Brazilian here. I suppose you watched the recent fans7bbed episodes so... you didn't have a chance to have your brains blown up with the DVD extras' pilot episode. To much to talk about the series but try to watch the mentioned 5 mins pilot and check out the canceled Venus suit concept.
Hey there and thanks for sharing this. I was not aware of those episodes or the 5 minute pilot being available. I've read about it and how the series was originally going to be a more straightforward competitor to the Super Sentai series, but that's about all I knew about it. I'll have to do some research on it now. Thank you very much!
Could be! As I recall some of the toy concepts even played into future metal hero series' merchandising. So while not a commercial success domestically, Cybercop did make an impact in other indirect ways.
USE ME FOR SHARING PURPOSES: In this video, Japan Hero take a closer look at the history of DENNOU KEISATSU CYBERCOP ( 電脳警察サイバーコップ ). While only 36 episodes long, the impact of this ambitious TV series has gone far beyond its original TV run and can even be felt today. ruclips.net/video/mrkoWLAaAZY/видео.html

verdade
I was a fan back in the 90's when Brazil was hit by the Cybercop fever! Thanks for the video!
So weird I remember getting these toys from KB Toys when I was a kid and never knowing where they came from UNTIL NOW!
I have a vhs of Cybercops but dubbed in a different language. I loved watching it as a child but wanted more. Years later I finally figured out what they were called which was cybercops. I was only able to watch the Brazilian dubbed version. So I never understood the story except for the 2nd arc.

I had the blue cop toy in the 90s U.S., and I had no idea it was a show until today!
It's cool to hear some of these toys circulated in the U.S. too!
I'm so happy a channel like yours exist and try to share as many of your updates as possible elsewhere online.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support. I really appreciate it! 😀
Cybercop had a very odd relationship with Brazil, as a very popular Tokusatsu along with Kamen Rider Black.
i still remember to this day being gifted the Kamen Rider Black Toy Car as a Christmas Gift... but the only memory of Cybercop that linges in my mind is that Funky Opening Song.
Cybercop is a great show for those who got a chance to watch it. Also congrats on 500 subs.
It really is! I was surprised at how well it held up. I really, really like how ambitious it set out to be. Thanks so much!
I wish Toho would make another show like this, and the Sazer trillogy because I like the mix of spandex bodysuits, and armor.
1000%! Given the Cybercop's popularity abroad and general affinity for the series in Japan, I would not be surprised if the series was officially revisited at some point.

I will try it on watching cybercop.
I have seen all the episodes of Cybercop. Love from India. 😍❤️🇮🇳🙏🏻😘🥰
Awesome! Thank you!

The precursor to TOEI's Rescue Police series
Yeah! Here in Brazil, Cybercop is a great sucess in Brazilian television.

@@JapanHero funny how the real world reason for her mot getting a suit was addressed in the show itself. Also I did hear thar Brazil was planning on making a reunion movie. Not sure if it's going to happen.
I've always wondered why it looked different for the time.
Right? I did too for the longest time. Same with Andro Melos, which has a similar look.
I AM Brazil😊😊
This show was sponsored by sega right? I think that also added to its popularity in brazil but im not sure
It was originally sponsored by Kodansha and Takara. A quick Google search didn't find any info on Sega having played a role in the series back when it was originally produced.
@@JapanHero oh ok i see the problem i confused this with another toku called changerion that sega helped to make
The Kaijin in this show were called Destroids and they were separated into three groups: Harcos, Ominos, and Garoga.
Harcos and Ominos used the same costumes throughout the show with only minor alterations
Thank you for sharing those details. I really didn't get to spend too much time going over the details of Death Trap so I appreciate you posting the names here. Yeah, they definitely recycled a lot of the costumes for the Destroids in this series, but they still made it work to great effect.
@@JapanHero Yeah, it did. Plus, it wasn’t the only tokusatsu to recycle the same costumes for the Kaijin.
Can someone translate this series?
There are fansubs of it in multiple languages.
Oh and another thing - Malaysia too had its love for Cybercops as well which there is an English dub by Speedy Dubs: ruclips.net/video/l2gjPZNhwbk/видео.html&pp=ygURY3liZXJjb3AgbWFsYXlzaWE%3D

Toho first failed attempt to compete with Sentai.
2nd one if you count Toho’s Bankid as an attempt to duplicate the success of GoRenger.
