This time, the Shirunai Clan led by Taro (Shinzo Hotta) attacks Gentaro (Shoji
Ishibashi), agent for Professor Tsushima, and his guardian angel,
giant robot Iron King using Double Satan, a giant robot shooting
duplicates of itself from its fingers. As always, in the first bout,
Gentaro and Iron King manage to chase Double Satan away.
Later, the Shirunai Clan manages to capture Gentaro, but his friends, guitar-carrying girl Yukiko (Chieko
Morikawa) and klutzy fellow agent Goro (Mitsuo Hamada), who is really Iron
King but Gentaro doesn't know that, try their best to track him down and
free him.
The finale has a re-battle between Iron King and Double Satan, and once
again Gentaro finds out who's controlling the Shirunai Clan-robot and
ultimately destroys Double Satan and all its duplicates.
By the way, many hints are dropped in this episode that Yukiko is
indeed an enemy agent.
Of course, the series Iron King as such is highly
formulaic (after all it's a series about giant robots for kids), but if
you are into this kind of stuff, despite or maybe because of its childish
plots and not so special special effects then you will probably enjoy this
episode - I know I did.
