Brave Series 30th Anniversary Song
Zenbu Yuusha ga Oshiete Kureta by Masaaki Endoh
lyric translation by me; expand for text lyrics
We gotta be brave!
To run all the way through to anywhere,
we gotta be brave!
Did our sky become narrower?
Look up, and you'll know
There still are things we can do
Against the unknown dangers
that we will face
throw away the readymade ideas
Mind reset
It's a chance for evolution
We gotta be brave!
To run all the way through to anywhere,
to protect the future that may shine,
stand up and fight, with the companions of heart
It's all that braves
It's all that braves
have taught us
Did you fulfill your dreams from the days gone by?
It's yet too early to look back
We're always on our journey
The barrier standing in our way
When you clash against it
Remember, no trials we cannot overcome
Angle change
Break through with the newfound power
We gotta be brave!
To protect the people dear to us
we vow to keep on fighting
Everyone suffers, and yet they become stronger
It's all that braves
It's all that braves
have taught us
Go with me! Exkaiser
Burning! Fighbird
We can fly! Da Garn
Get away! Might Gaine
Heart to heart! J-Decker
The true energy! Goldran
Shine! Dagwon
Ga-ga-ga-ga- Gaogaigar
Courage! It shall never fade away
It's the legacy engraved in hearts
Courage! It shall never fade away
It's the legacy engraved in our hearts
It's all that braves have taught us
Brave Command Dagwon and how it reignited my interest in Super Robots.
I have a bit of a confession. I was a bit of a Super Robot fan before being a Gundam fan. The shows I was exposed with back in the day were things like Daimos, the original Aquarion, and RahXephon. Let's just say 2010-2012 me was once into anime, largely due to having cable back in the day, and one of the channels we had was Hero TV.
Fast forward to the present day, and these days I'm more of a Tokusatsu fan than an Anime fan, other than Gundam at least. What kicked my fascination with the Brave series was the release of the RG GaoGaiGar, and said release led me into a rabbit hole of Brave content.
And then, out of sheer boredom, I decided to watch one of the various entries of the Brave series, that being The Brave Command Dagwon, and I ended up liking it.
The first thing that caught my eye when watching this was how much it felt like a Super Sentai series (hence why I think of this as a Sentai-like show, much like with the Chouseishin & Tomica Hero series). Not only that, much like it's successor, GaoGaiGar, the humans become giant robots.
The Dagwon cast were someone I ended up growing to love, even the supporting cast such Maria, Gaku, and Luna. The mechs in the series were awesome, my personal favorite would end up being Super Fire Dagwon. And that final arc was *chef's kiss*.
I would wholeheartedly recommend for those who are fans of Sentai, as well as those getting into the Brave series.
Well, Brave Command Dagwon is a good mech rec. It's like power rangers but mecha anime. Or kind of the same flavor but a slightly different one would be the brave fighter of Legend da-gran
Sometimes i remember certain shows and when i bringt it up to the friend,you dont know the amount of sheer joy,shits and giggles i feel when having to explain the shows asburd plot.
Like just the other day in discord i was explaining to a friend an old anime called brave command dagwon,and i was telling them that space cop aliens are a thing and that in that show theres a floating space prison and how the prisoners rioted and took over and tried to take over earth,how there was one episode that had space ant aliens who tried to colonize the earth.
What was more absurd and shocking to them was when i explain that the space alien ants were criminals and they went like:
Friend:"i...they were criminals?"
Me:"yes ess they were criminals"
Friend:"but they were...ants?"
Me:"yep"
And the best part was when they were sarcastically like " ofc there are"when i explained gunkid and lain and how the one could transform into a giant sized robot hand gun and the other an ovesized robot sword
(!) Spoilers for some important scenes in Exkaiser, Fighbird, Da Garn, Might Gaine, Dagwon and Gaogaigar, and a trigger warning for robots getting damaged in case you're a robot or A.I. yourself (!)
(!) Flash warning (!)
This is a compilation of all scenes I could find of the protagonists having their facemask be blown to bits.
J-Decker and Goldran were the only ones who did not get their masks obliterated.
