What happens

Reideen the Brave (勇者ライディーン, Yūsha Raidīn), also known as "Brave Reideen" or "Heroic Raydeen", is a super robot anime series created by Tohokushinsha and produced by Soeisha (later renamed as Sunrise). It aired on Nihon Educational Television (now TV Asahi) from 4 April 1975 to 26 March 1976, with a total of 50 episodes. The series is marked as the first mecha anime series to introduce and popularize the concept of Transforming Mecha, which is also tied to its marketing gimmick in the 1970s. Two spiritual remakes based on the series were made later after the original aired: the first one titled Reideen the Superior (超者ライディーン, Chōja Raidīn) was broadcast from 1996 to 1997 on TV Tokyo, and another called Reideen was broadcast in 2007 on WOWOW.
