What happens

Beast King GoLion (百獣王ゴライオン, Hyaku Jūō Goraion; The King of Hundred Beasts GoLion) is a Japanese super mecha anime television series that aired from 1981 to 1982. The animation from GoLion was edited and trimmed to create the American series Voltron: Defender of the Universe, with new names and dialogue. In 2008, GoLion was released on Region 1 DVD in three volumes. To coincide with the anime's original run, a manga adaptation by Yoshiki Tsuchiyama was serialized in Televi-Land.
