Don't forget, the prisoners in the jailbreak episode thought it was totally plausible that they might be shipped off planet.

The Earth’s champion being a sociopathic twerp is appropriate.

Re: Let's Watch Chargeman Ken!
I find it weird that someone as thirsty as Ken has been in past episodes is bored out of his mind watching beautiful people strut around in swimsuits.

Re: Let's Watch Chargeman Ken!
I almost felt kind of bad for the Juralian in that one, at least up until he resorted to taking a hostage.
Like, for all we knew those two Juralians were just trying to live day to day lives passing as ordinary humans, and then one of them dies in a freak accident and the other one ends up fleeing for his life while horribly injured because the humans assume he must be up to no good based purely on him being a Juralian, when it's entirely likely him and his buddy were just on their way to the gym or something.
But then he made the mistake of taking a little kid hostage, so he's clearly evil and deserved to die a horrible death.

Can I just say it's weird how much that Juralian looked like gollum from the rankin-bass hobbit movie?

I like that woman eating five ice creams at once while her son also got an ice cream. That and the people who ran right off a Ferris wheel.
Ken's face was creepy when he watched that Juralian fall.

Anyone noticed that the structure disappeared for a frame or two at the 6 minute mark?
How do you mess that up, camera man?

Re: Let's Watch Chargeman Ken!
All I know is next episode (which I happened to see a while ago) has probably my favourite error in the whole series.

Re: Let's Watch Chargeman Ken!
Since when does Ken have telepathic powers to communicate with mute people?
Is this a crowd shot, or a sheet of dots on a paper?

"Gradually decreasing the Earth's population" is such a reasonable goal.
Telepathy sure would've been a useful power to have for the previous 30 episodes.
ULTROS: Mwa ha ha! Let's see if Chargeman can shrug THIS off! N'ghaaaa! This is heavier than I thought! It'll take me 5 minutes to drop it!

Re: Let's Watch Chargeman Ken!
Oh good it's the hand episode.
Chargeman Ken reading peoples' minds is a very scary idea.
And what happens to the little mute girl? Her trashy adoptive dad is dead. I hope the animator's hand adopts her.

They spent so much money on the voices echoing in the hallways that they couldn't afford pew pew sounds for the Juralians.

Re: Let's Watch Chargeman Ken!
... why was there a vending machine full of bricks?
Also, did we really need Juralians showing up and offering to assist the dude with his suicide?* This goes back to what I was talking about earlier where half the time these schemes make absolutely no sense whatsoever. Previous episode, we had two Juralians who wanted to get their hands on plans to help them attack and destroy humanity's space bases on Venus. That's actually a reasonable goal for a hostile alien race at war with humans to have! And they even went about it in a relatively subtle fashion, using a human pawn to do the dirty work of breaking into the safe for them.
But in the episode immediately after that, we get... like, what, five or six Juralians getting murdered by Ken because they showed up out of nowhere to help a dude kill himself because they just hate humans that much! It's baffling.
*The answer is yes, because we can't have a Chargeman Ken episode where he's not killing Juralians or mummies.

In the future, there are vending machines to dispense slapstick humor at you, obviously.

Re: Let's Watch Chargeman Ken!
There's a pretty wild message buried in this episode about Japan being so completely consumed by this future '60s space age that it doesn't have a trace of Japanese culture at all. Most other future anime centered on Japan usually portray some sort of melding of the old and new, which I'd find more believable from a nation that takes such pride in its traditions.
On the other hand, I guess you have Akira, which, at least in the movie, lets the grungy '80s future Tokyo consume everything (and then explode).

Re: Let's Watch Chargeman Ken!
Ken finally gets the treatment he deserves.
Also let's just all hang out in our irradiated underground tunnels with out of control nukes. It's okay, we have treatment tanks.
Why do the Juralians even want Earth if they're going to reduce it to ashes?

I think the implication is that they're just going to reduce human civilization to ashes.

this is a very famous episode, most people who've seen only one episode of this show have either seen this or episode 4.
