In the Japanese Go Lion version he was killed by the Witch, and the Princess took his place, but in the American version he was injured, and send back to Earth.
@unlimiteddj in a an episode this was attempted by a robeast. but there is a force field that surrounds them. Its electrified and forces enemies away.
thats the original voice of octumus prime... when he says voltron defender of the universe...classic vocals brings back memorys...cartoons suck ass now...
I actually find it strange how in the English version, Sven and his brother were the same person. Of course all that was to make us think that Sven was still alive, bringing tears of relief to our hearts. Sadly, that's not what really happened. As we all know, Sven dies and is later replaced by his brother, who also meets with an untimely death.
Tell me about it. It seems that they were both condemned to a cruel destiny which was to face an untimely demise. Luckily for Sho, the one who replaces Takashi Shirogane later on, he dies an honorable death as he fought bravely until the end. Sadly, the same could not be said for his older brother whose death was in vain.
Personally I prefer full episodes rather than mini episodes. I mean sure, when translated to English, the show is not in its pure unedited form. But These mini episodes have way too much editing and due to the lack of plot development we have no idea what the hell is going on.
probably because you watched the American version. Japanese version was more realistic and from what I've heard violent. American version was watered down.
How funny is that -- Optimus Prime doing the intro for VOLTRON! Awesome! (Peter Cullen is the Mack, tho. Still don't get why they had Agent Smith do Megatron in Transformers. Couldn't even tell it was HIM. Why do that? I dunno.)
Aw thanks for the memories. I was such a little tomboy. I used to be the only girl playing with boys. I was the princess haha! Oh my God i was a dork!lollllllllllll
why does Zarkon want Allura as his slave as opposed to just killing her? Will having her under his control better solidify his position of power in the universe? Can the voltron force actually attack Planet Doom? Or would Zarkon's defenses be too much even for Voltron?
in the japanize show, Zarkon did want her dead. and well he wanted to turn her into blood wine. check out the show Voltron was turned into. amazons got it for farly cheap.
It is Peter Cullen as the voice narrartor in the "pologue" of Voltron. He is also the voice of Coran, King Alfor and Cmndr Hawkins on Vehicle Voltron. Great show! I hear after the success of the live action Transformers, a live action Voltron is in the works. Yippe!!
I figured that voice sounded like i heard that before. I use to love this cartoon when I was little. I liked that thundercats. it looks like theres a movie coming out of that to. I looked it up on here and it doesnt look so good. the thundercats part looked like weak acting. if they make a voltron movie that would be great but if they want it to be good they need o get peter jacksen and steven sperburg
This cartoon takes me back to my childhood. My mother still has my brother's voltron robot, and it's still in good condition. Anyways,I always like the fact that Allura became part of the Voltron Force.
very true ... they took the footage from the japanese version and edited out the "japanese acors" and put the "american actors" in .... anything that has them in the ranger suits is just from zyuranger
I tried once to form a real voltron out of 5 neighborhood kitties, unfortunately they clawed my face off when I try to connect the paw to anothers ass.
What's with the HONDA ad to the side? "The fit is GO" Is that a play on Voltron? And if a major car company is doing that, I wonder if this means that we will see a movie in the future? they've already planned one after The Transformers. I think that Vehicle Voltron would make more sense though. And it would work better with a Honda Ad as well.
How is this being shown without Youtube removing it since this is a copyright property, and what was up with all the ads at the beginning? Is Youtube actually promoting this show? That's cool if they are. They're into the GREEN LION box set now, I think about 4 box sets/seasons have been released already. This is old news.
Why are people freaking out about this being online? Don't you all know this show is available on DVD at all stores that sell DVD box sets of shows? They're like into the 4th season already (selling them).
They just might, they are making a Voltron movie but I don't know if it is CGI or live action. I heard they are deviating heavily from the show, they use voltron to defend a post apocolyptic Earth.
i remember this every day at 4:30 on TV38 in boston in 84' and 85'. i can say that was the best time for cartoons... he-man she-ra Tranzor-Z and then voltron...from 3-5, and then supper. ahh the good old days... 8->
No. This was one of many shows with robotic combiners way back when. Power Rangers was stemed from the Sentai franchise overseas in Japan. Granted the characters in Voltron have unique colors its technically not sentai because its not live action like Power Rangers is.
I loved Voltron as a kid and then for christmas this year my parents bought me the entire first season on DVD. For some reason, even though its pretty corny in some places, it's still one of my favorite shows ever.
Actually, Power Rangers was before Voltron. The Japanese were making their version of Power Rangers in the 70s. The US Rangers are just Japanese with English dubbing.
I used to always wonder why the enemy never shot Voltron during assembly ... seems that would be when it was most vulnerable ... boy this cartoon takes me back!
They left their boy Sven in the slave pits. Some friends. Now if this was GI JOE they would have saved their boy and freed Planet Doom from this joker n his witch.
Some friends. Thats why I always liked GI JOE n Transformers better. Some say he had a brother who joined and he died when he and Lotor went over the waterfalls. What else can you tell on this. wikipedia doesnt give me much. Or other sites.
Actually, in the original Japanese version, Sven (as we known him in US/Canada) died. His brother was the one who was on Planet Doom, helping the other princess (Allura's cousin) escape. You're corrct, Sven's brother died when he kileld Lotor and fell into the lake!!
No what I was trying to say that they didnt care if their boy or his brother was captured or killed they reall y didnt do jack to help. Wikipedia kept rambling on the japanese verson of the show. Did Lotor in that fall as well. How did King Sarkon go out?
Ok, I hear ya. I'm not sure why the Japanese or the English version never thought of helping Sven or his brother. Blame the writers...
Also, FYI: Lotor was kille din the Japan version. He fell along with Sven's brotehr in the water. King Zarkon was also killed in the Japan version. He piloted a Robeast that looked like him. Do a search round here and you should be able to see the original Japanese Zarkon death.
That is why I always liked GI JOE better. If one of their guys got captured Hawk would have ask for a vulenteer. All hands would have went up. Freed their guy n rescused what scienist Cobra had locked up. Than came home and had a PSA for the kids. GI JOE yes...voltron HELL NO!
Yeah. It's a real shame that Sven actually dies in the true unedited Japanese version. Nevertheless, that's what really happened. It's also a shame that his twin brother (Sho) dies as well. In his battle with Lotor, they both fell to their deaths. Tragic, but he died an honorable death. Whereas Sven (Takashi Shirogane) died in vain. It's funny how the translators combined the two characters together to make it seem like Sven was still alive.
I enjoy how they take the time, in the midst of heated battle to all perfectly time and yell "VOLTRON!!!"
