Hyakujû-ô Goraion

For any viewer who is lucky to see an episode from Hyaku Ju Oh Golion will know that when Golion was picked up to be dubbed as Voltron The Tv Series, it was up against a tough time where violence on Tv was at the forefront of concern for what was shown to children.

Golion is the story of 5 teenagers who return to Earth after World War III has destroyed much of it. Distraught at seeing everything in ruins, the teenagers are captured by the Galra Empire and soon taken to Planet Galra to be used as slaves and to entertain the citizens in twisted tournaments. The teenagers manage to escape and make it to Planet Altea where the Princess Fahra (or Farla) gives them the secret to forming the greatest protector of the far universe, Golion.

Since most fans are familiar with Voltron, Golion is somewhat a darker and more violent version of the edited form Americans have seen. But most of the scenes edited out, did not detract from what the series taught - that teamwork and perseverance will succeed in the end.
