On the bridge of the Skarluk, the flagship of the Boazan Empire, which suddenly attacks Earth, there are four people in command of the Earth conquest army.

At the center of this is Prince Zardoz (*Prince Heinel in the original anime), a member of the Boazan Empire’s royal family and commander in chief of the Boazan Empire’s Earth Conquest Army. He is passionate about invading Earth to fulfill the orders of Emperor Zambojir (Zu Zanbajir in the original anime) and to clear his own name.

The three senior officials who support Zardoz are Zandra (Lee Kazareen, in the original anime), who is in charge of developing the Beast Fighters.

Also in charge of weapons development is Zulu (De Zulu in the original anime).

And it is Draco (Louis Jeangallo in the original anime) who devises strategies using these weapons .

All four of them are nobles on the planet Boazan, and so they wear elegant attire reminiscent of medieval European aristocrats when they go to battle.

The horns on their heads are characteristic of the Boazan nobility, and each character has a different, unique design. The planet Boazan has a strict class system in which people are divided into nobles and slaves depending on whether they have these horns or not, and these horns hold the key to the story of this work.

Director Mark A. Reyes V. said about creating the Boazan characters, ” I was particularly interested in Zul’s story. In the original anime, he was portrayed as a bit comical, and I felt that it was one-dimensional. So for the live-action version, I wanted to flesh him out a bit more, and added depth to his character. The same goes for Draco, creating a relationship between the two characters that involves both hatred and concern for each other. I evolved the two enemies with respect. “

As you can see, even the characters other than the main protagonist and enemy characters have been carefully crafted down to the smallest detail.

One day, the Earth is attacked by an army led by Prince Zardoz from the planet Boazan. With conventional weapons completely ineffective, Steve, Big Bert, Little John, the three Armstrong brothers, Mark Gordon, and Jamie Robinson board five secretly manufactured machines to fight the attack.

In order to ensure victory, the enemy forces have launched even more powerful beast-like robots called “Beast Fighters.” To counter them, the five of them shout “Let’s Volt-in!” and combine their machines to become the giant humanoid robot “Voltes V.”
