Chouja Raideen also known as Reideen The Superior is a 1996 bishonen action anime produced by Sunrise as a reboot/sequel to the 1976 legendary mecha classic: Brave Raideen. This show was released shortly after Gundam Wing, and shared staff with sister airing show The Brave Command Dagwon. The opening to Yuusha Raideen (1975), directed in part by Yoshiyuki Tomino. The song title is 'Yuusha Raideen' performed by Masato Shimon and Columbia Yurika. Raydeen was the Egyptian styled giant robot Raideen (or Reideen) from Yuusha Raideen (Brave Raideen) cartoon. That the figure could shoot a bird-like plane-missile ('delta wings') from its chest AND fire its fist makes it a must have! Like the other four initial release Shoguns, Raydeen. I was alittle disappointed with this as I took him out of the packaging and found out how loose he was and am thinking of his release being at the beginning of the line (My SRC Mazinger is the same way). It is known as being one of the first transforming robots on Japanese TV. Kyo is joined in his search by the bounty-hunter Shiina Yuya, the heir to the Tokugawa shogunate Benitora; and Sanada. Raideen had his large bow, small bow, large sword, small sword, shield or empty fist options (5 sets of hands included as well as instructions in English).
