An anime about a robot fighting bad guys... sounds like many others just like it.
There was also a Live action movie but that was based on the Prowrestler who used this show as a gimmick.
Story[]
It is 199X A.D. (Hokuto No Ken, Riki-Oh and both Urotsukidoji legend of the overfiend and legend of the Demon Womb happened) In Kushiro, Hokkaido, three bodies of Dragonite appear(f--king pokemon!!!). Possessing overwhelming destructive force, they attack the city. They also awaken the evil Jashin Drago from the holy seal he was trapped in. Two hundred years ago(in the slavery days), Drago was trapped in the seal by a holy warrior with the tattooed mark of the Liger(liger zero Panzer!!). Assuming that the warrior is dead, Drago and Empress Zara are free to conquer the Earth using their army of biomechanical beasts. Even the Japan Self-Defense Forces are no match for the Dragonites' awesome power. One of the people fleeing is the protagonist, a milquetoast 16-year-old boy named Ken Taiga. Unbeknownst to the Dragonites, Ken realizes that he is the descendant of the Liger warrior. In a burst of anger, Ken's Liger birthmark appears, and he rises his palm into the air, shouting the henshin command, "LIGER!" which then covers him in demonic, long-haired biomechanical armor. Ken transforms into Jushin Liger to fight the evil forces of the Dragonite!
Manga[]
so it starts with Ken Taiga going to school w/o books as he read em all, flipping s chicks skirt to see her undies with Goro Dan, then a big a55 space thing comes over the school! Saeko Yagami reports as it busts sh-t and opens its mouth to release Dragonite Atlas and Gran who bust the school and the military trys to fight but gets busted and kills Yuki. Grandpa Ryuzo Taiga comes in and sez for Ken to summon Liger with a new mark on his hand and he does and they fuse like Akira Fudo of Ryo Utsugi. so he slags em and later Empress Zara tells her grunts to make the earth sadder so Emperor Drago will revive and her generals, Ryu Dollk, Doll Satan, Doll Navy, Doll Army and Doll Phantom tell her its Liger who stopped Hokkaido from bein f'd. Later, Yui Kamishiro and Mai Kamishiro stop by Ken's place and they are his relatives that he finds hot(Love is Love!! Equal Love!!) and Grandpa says Liger is a god that has a connection to their bloodline. The chicks bring the Myojin Mirror that shows the past where the god Agama and Drago fought as Drago cooked da urth. Agama sealed Drago in another dimension (You mean HFIL?) and the key to it is a big a55 rock. so then the bad guys attack again and summon Dragonite Bulltops and Ken summons Liger to protect the rock and slags Bulltops. Then Ryu Dollk comes out in Dorga, the Bio Armor of the bad guys and Ken Digivolves Liger stronger, but its then telling Goro the story and Saeko comes by and sez Grandpa was an Archelogist who found out of an ancient evil and worked to stop it. also the empire is the descendants of Drago and are gonna f da urth up. so Doll Satan finds out Kens identity and they decide to take him on Later one of the chicks is in a trance and goes to Kens bed and has a vision of fire and the bad guys head for a mountain and Iguazu and Drageus f's things up, but Ken in Liger slags em. Doll Army sends Algus but da volcano goes off and Zara uses a hand of Lave to trap the Rock. Later its Ken Mai and Yui's 12th b day and Ken gets a rock necklace or w/e and Zara sacrifices guys to try to revive Drago but Ken's rock thing uses blue light to stop it. Ryu Dollk take a jet to see what it is and knox it away with missiles that dont kill Ken as hes a main character. They both summon bio armors and fight but the red light from da rock is f ing Ken and grandpa stops it. Ken fights equal to Ryu but some bad guy takes grandpa hostage but Ryuu circimsizes bad guys arm as he wanted a fair fight and grandpa stops the red light rock but the volcano goes up and slags grandpa. Later Doll Satan, Navy and Phantom wanna waste Tokyo as they need blood to break the seal and after Ken and Goro are caught peaking on Mai and Yui takin a bath, Ken goes to fight them but 1st has to face Ryu Dollk. In Tokyo the defense force has some weird Robotech looking mechs but they do diddly d--k and the chicks get a vision and pull a level by a lake and summon a castle. In the next volume, Ryu digivolves his gundam and fight Liger but the Heavy Armor Horse Begaruda comes in and is driven by the chicks who whiz Liger to Tokyo and he saves the day. Later the chicks have a dream of their long lost brother with a dragon mark on his hand and in the bad guys place, Zera sez Ryuu has a Dragon Mark on his hand. So Ryuu goes to face Ken and they battle in their mechs as the chicks realize Ryuu is their bro. Just as the fight is aboot to get srs, Saeko and the chicks come over and reveal Ryuu is their bro and a part of their clan. At the same time, new improved bad mechs are dispatched and F Tokyo like a Godzilla movie. Ryuu is confused and Liger uses Begaruda to whiz to Tokyo but its f'd. He gets f'd a but but Ryuu comes in and fights with his a55. Then Drago revives and a Golden Bird comes outta nowhere and fuses with Liger to Digivolve him further and he creams the improved mechs. Zara fuses with the rock like Sirene in Devilman vs Getter Robo and Liger slices this big a55 skull ship thing open and it slams a55 into the rock and stops it. Them Doll Phantom grabs da chi and Liger and Ryuu fly to the Drago Fortress and Zara is gonna sacrifice the chix but is gonna 1st F Ryu and Ken. So Ken punches the base and they wind up in a weird a55 dimension where Grandpa trys to get Ken to Seppuku but Ryu snaps him outta it. Doll Phantom and some one are in mechs with the chicks strapped on em but Liger slices em free. The chix call Begaruda and they fight more advanced mechs but Zara revives Drago like Zenon in Violence Jack as a multi headed thing. So then Drago is opening a hole in the sky's a55 to the evil zone like Garlic Jr but Argama revives. Drago eats Zara as a sacrifice and takes the fight to the evil zone. Argama sez the 4 tweens fusing minds caused em to awaken him and they gets hope ki from all the people who cares for him in a moment Yugioh and Beyblade Metal Fury ripped off and they beat Drago and escape da evil zone. Ryu sacrifices himself to atone for his crimes even though he can do more good being alive and helping others, and the survivors get to live happy in the f's out city with thousands dead. The end.
Trivia[]
- This show inspired the Prowrestler Jushin Thunder Liger who is pretty rad homie.
- Holy F--k! Sho Aikawa wrote the 1st ep! he did Urotsukidoji, Violence Jack Evil Town, Dog Soldier Shadows of the Past, Angel Cop and f--kin Genocyber. Now he's doing a kids show?!
- Despite sites like back door wikipedia calling it "Beast-God Riger", its clearly Liger: The Real animal that exists! Like in Sailor Moon Season 4 they called the Lemures "Remless" or IMDB calls things that are Clearly English by transliterated names like Bubblegum Crisis = BaBuRu GaaMu KuRaiShiSu! Or Violence Jack = BaiOhRenSu JaaKu! Or Devilman = DeBiRuMan! or Cutey Honey = KyuTiu HaaNii! Then again, they/them who write it probably say KuRiRin for Krillin or Sahhn Gohh Kooh for Goku in DBZ like those monkeys at TeamFourStar say.
