Giant Robo Without Context

Lets hope that I don't get this taken down.
This version of Giant Robo, better known as Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot, is the American adaptation of Japan's Giant Robo which in itself was an adaptation of the Giant Robo manga created by Mitsuteru Yokoyama. It's basically about a boy named Daisaku Kusama/Johnny Sokko who controls a Giant Robot through the wrist watch on his arm. Together with the help of Unicorn, a secret organization which aims to keep world peace, Johnny and Giant Robo must stop the evil forces of Emperor Guillotine and Big Fire/The Gargoyle Gang.
It's a show with some very weird moments. Also props to those of you who will actually watch this entire video because I've gathered clips from all 26 episodes.
Also the reason why two of the episodes are in better quality is because I had to manually record those two because Internet archive didn't have those 2 episodes. This video is obviously inspired by ZaGorudan's Ultraman Without Context videos
Edit: Here's what you missed when the screen suddenly zoomed in

It's funny how you can almost string together the entire plot for some of these episodes just from these clips.

[@SurajInd89]

They aired Giant Robot only in the late eighties in India 😬

[@paulforder591]

I remember watching Johnny Sokko back in 1978, when I was eleven. Had some rather bizarre moments for a late-1960s Japanese TV series. I would later learn that the original title was Giant Robo, and was already ten years old when it was aired in the States. My favourite episode was the one about the space vampire--cautionary tale about conformism taken to the extreme. Wonder how much footage was cut from the American version? Did Shout! Factory release it in an English subtitled DVD version? 📀🇯🇵🤖

[@crystalcolors6742]

My first time to watch it in English. They did a good job translating! This show was my favorite as a child in Japan. Giant Robo is the most charismatic robot you find in the robot history!

When I was a very small child, this robot was actually my hero. The ones where he fought his own doppelganger and killed Dracula with a cross (I believe he made it by forming a cross with his arms. Been years), were my favorites. Also, 17:08 - Looks like Godzilla caught the measles.

Wonderful Episode. The Giant Robot was my favorite serial during my childhood. Now I am around 41 years old and I still can recall my golden memories. It was a golden age for me with a sense of complete innocence and playful. I used to watch only action oriented movies during my childhood days and my two elder sisters with my parents used to go to theaters for watching family oriented and normal movies. I used to collect money from my parents and stay at home with my grand mother. I was unable to understand the romantic movies or family oriented movies. I was more interested with outdoor games and action oriented movies. It was a golden age of freedom and the era of innocence. Next time i will pen-down some more kind of experience with fascinating incidents. Thank you for uploading.
