8. Sol Aquarion

The Aquarion is an indefinite homage to 70's Super Robots, but was made in 2005. In the show, Genesis of Aquarion, the robot is made of three separate jets called Vectors that were discovered sometime in the Atlantic Ocean. To combine, the three jet’s start a process call “Unification”, with the lead jet being in the head, and the controller for the Aquarion. In Sol Aquarion’s case, the Vector Sol comes first, then Mars, with Vector Luna attaching to the back.. The “three jet’s become robot” is a direct homage to Getter Robo, where three jets, the Getter Machines, combine into 3 different forms of the Getter Robo depending on the order.

The first thing that makes the Aquarion number 8 is the “Unification” itself. When they combine, the man pilot get a surge of emotions that feels like their ready to axe kick an ox in the head. The females however, uh, let’s see... They act like their climaxing. No joke. And this happens every episode, and for me, it never got old. The Aquarion is having a semi-serious fight where people are about to die, they combine, then that happens. It’s only for a moment, but it’s completely worth it.

Now concentrating on the Sol itself, this formation is probably the main one that appear through the series the most. This is most likely the reason why I like it more, but what can I say, the Sol has one kick ass signature attack. The “Mugen Punch”. With Mugen meaning “Infinity” or “Infinite”, you can guess what it can do. When the attack name is called, the Sol Aquarion’s fist shine fiery red, the arm opens up, and then weird shit happens. It’s like, it fist is attached to this pole thing right. The pole opens up into thirds, then ANOTHER pole comes out of that with the fist still attached. Rinse and repeat, and you have your self a fist that can go EVERYWHERE. The first time it was used, it snaked around the air like a mother fucker chasing after the bad guy. Once it hit him, it kept going until the enemy got smashed into the moon, then the fist detonated.

TL:DR: Orgasmic combination sequences and snaking fists bitches!! You ain’t got jack on this mother fucker!!

Also, Aquarions theme > Everything else.

This is science.
