Synopsis

Teru Tendou is a young reporter for the Shonen Times. In times of trouble, he could transform into Ganbaron and save the day. The plot revolved mostly around Teru keeping his identity a secret from his friends.

The opening narration was "Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's Ganbaron! Faster than a Shinkansen! Stronger than Kaiju!"

Similar to Tetsujin 28-go and Giant Robo, Ganbaron could call a giant robot named Daibaron ("big baron"). Unlike those two however, Daibaron was a combining robot similar to Getter Robo or Golion/Voltron.

The show was sponsored by Bullmark which advertised toys based on the show, such as the "Zincron Deluxe Daibaron".

gollark: Or at least until the card expires.
gollark: See, to make payments to a website or something, you need to give them about 19 digits of numbers which then allow them to arbitrarily take money out of your account forever.
gollark: Yes; complain all you want about cryptocurrencies but the existing payment system is moronically stupid.
gollark: I like them. They are somewhat good as a concept.
