Joe Shimamura (Cyborg 009 - 1964)
Joe Shimamura is the main protagonist of the science fiction superhero manga series
Cyborg 009, which was created by the renowned artist
Shotaro Ishinomori, who also worked alongside Osamu Tezuka as his assistant in some Astro Boy chapters (
with a exhibit based on their creations) and considered the father of the modern Japanese superhero genre with other influential long-running series such as
Super Sentai (later adapted into Power Rangers) and
Kamen Rider, having been published by a few companies such as Kodansha, Akita Shoten, Shogakukan and Shueisha themselves.
The series focuses on nine normal humans, who were kidnapped by the evil
Black Ghost organization and converted into super-powered cyborg soldiers through experiments to be used as weapons of mass destruction for the next world war. They later escaped with the help of
Dr. Isaac Gilmore, who assists them in rebeling against their leader
Skull, banding together in order to fight a variety of threats such as mad scientists, supernatural beings and ancient civilizations, with Joe himself (who was a lonesome delinquent youngster born to a Japanese mother who passed away shortly after giving birth and a father of an unknown nationality) being the most advanced model and leader of the team,
00-Cyborgs.
The manga itself has ran for long decades through many different Japanese magazines even after Ishinomori's death in 1998, finally concluding in a 2012 manga story called "
Cyborg 009 Conclusion: God's War", which was based on Ishinomori's orignal concept notes gathered by his son, Jo Onodera. It also achieved multiple films such as Hiroshi Okawa's
two-film long series, the 1980 film "
Legend of the Super Galaxy", a 3D film "
009 Re: Cyborg" released in 2012, a 2016 CG film trilogy "
Call of Justice", anime shows (
1968,
1979 and a 2001 series "
The Cyborg Soldier" that ran in Toonami),
a graphic novel, radio dramas, three video games (like one released on
Super Famicom in 1994) and crossovers with fellow manga series;
Eight Man and a more famous Devilman (
three part-OVA). It was even
referenced in numerous media such as Ishinomori's manga adaptation of A Link to the Past.
As
the team's most powerful member with
all abilities from fellow cyborgs (though Geromino is demonstrated as
the powerhouse) thanks to his mechanical body, Joe has a
few superhuman powers &
abilities such as
super-strength,
breathing underwater, sensors that
picks up electromagnetic waves/
dark vision,
bullet-proof skin, alongside his trademark ability, the
Acceleration Mode, which allows him to increase his speed by an incredible amount to the point everything will be frozen in time and even
travel through it/
dimensions (though in Anime All-Stars, it will only give him a slight speed boost for a short period of time). It can also be used
for teleporting and a dash special, which
flashes through opponents and acts as a stronger version of Fox's Side Special in the Super Smash Bros. series. He can also use
the Supergun which has numerous settings like
a powerful heat ray, poisonous gas, freezer, etc.,
a psychic forcefield around himself and even call out his fellow 00-Cyborgs for an all-out attack in his Super Ultimate move.
Lum Invader (Urusei Yatsura - 1978)
Lum is the deuteragonist and female protagonist of the manga series
Urusei Yatsura, which was written and illustrated by
Rumiko Takahashi for Shogakukan in 1978, focusing on a un-lucky teenage boy,
Ataru Moroboshi, after he was randomly chosen by an alien race known as the
Oni, who arrived on Earth to invade the planet by giving humans a chance to fight for it's rights by taking part in a tag-like competition, facing against the alien leader's daughter, Princess Lum, who he accidentaly proposed to, after having won a competition (having promised to
Shinobu Miyake earlier), making her fall completely in love with him, even though she often violently electrocutes him whenever he flirts with another girl or insults her.
Urusei Yatsura
sold about over 35 million copies in circulation and even received the 1980 Shogakukan Manga Award, with it's anime adaptation in 1981 (
watch it) having been credited with introducing the format of using pop songs as opening and closing themes in anime shows. It pretty much launched Takahashi's career, leading into other creations such as
Ranma ½ and
Inuyasha themselves (like how Dr. Slump started Toriyama's success and creation of Dragon Ball). It even influenced multiple other "geek gets girl" works including Tenchi Muyo! and Love Hina. Lum herself even has her own
life-size bronze statue erected at Ōizumi-gakuen Station in 2015 and
appearing in clips of Matthew Sweet's music video "I've Been Waiting". A new
anime series with Takahashi joining in it's production, is also revealed to air sometimes this year.
Lum would be a floaty fighter with light weight and weak close-range attacks, though she excels at high-damaging zoning techniques such as charging herself with electricity to either shoot lightning bolts, fly in a inputted direction inside the electric aura (as a combination of Pikachu's old Final Smash and Side Special, besides Peach's) or send out multiple super-charged shocks around her by storing big amounts of electricity inside her body (there's three words and stuff's gettin' real -
DARLING NO BAKA!), even being able to increase her teeth and horns' size for stronger melee attacks. She would also summon her toddler cousin,
Ten, to temporarily follow her around by flying and attacking opponents by breathing fire at them, much like Luma alongside Rosalina.
Lum can also make use of her inventions/devices such as creating illusions to trick opponents, bring inanimate objects or plants to life, use a supernova's subspace fragment as a detonating bomb, change the direction of gravity with G-Con, put enemies to sleep, etc. (most of those stuff came from
VS Battles Wiki).
