Synopsis

This is a science fiction story depicting a battle between the "rocket-man" Ambassador Magma created by "Earth" (the creator of the earth), and evil spaceman Goa.

Newspaper writer Murakami Atsushi and his family wake up one morning to find they have travelled 200 million years back in time. Looking out their window they see dinosaurs were walking around outside their house. This is, in fact, the work of a spaceman named Goa, who sent them back into the past in a show of his power. Proclaiming that he would take over the earth, Goa dares Murakami to report his plans in the paper. Coming back to the present, Mamoru, son of Murakami, is taken by a giant named Magma to the underground of a volcano island, where he meets the creator of the earth (called "Earth"). To squash Goa's ambitions, 'Earth' creates three "rocket-men" named Magma, Mol and Gum.

Magma gives Mamoru a whistle he can use to call him and the other rocket-men whenever he is in trouble, and they fight together against Goa. But Goa has already started his earth invasion project, sending creatures that can turn themselves into humanoids, called "Hitomodoki."

Mas desde que me aprofundei nesse gênero de "Mechas", eu me deparei com tramas muito profundas, dramas extremamente consistentes e concisos, lutas maravilhosas e designs extraordinários. Disse para um amigo que iria me dedicar a ver a maioria das histórias de Mecha que saíram antes de Gundam para acabar sentido da melhor maneira a mudança drástica que ele causou com esse gênero, e Magma Taishi/Ambassador Magma (1965 -1967) de Osamu ...

Mixed Feelings
Magma Taishi is an interesting look at early Super Robot manga. While having many derivative elements found in the earlier Tetsujin 28, Magma Taishi finds it's own flavor and develops a unique style separate from other Super Robot manga. While the designs of the characters leave something to be desired, their personalities are well fleshed out with strong identities and unqiue roles to fill in the plot.

Many modern readers might view the mangas plot as simple, but at the time Magma Taishi was fairly complex with high level themes laced throughout the manga in typical Tezuka fashion. However, this manga was not actually done by ...
