The 105-episode box set is now scheduled for an October 18th, 2017 release where it’ll be priced at 32,000 yen instead of the 81,900 yen it was back in 2012. It’s being billed as coming out at a reduced price to get people to check it out after watching the Infini-T Force series that’s about to arrive. The release will be 2625 minutes and spread across eighteen discs.
Check out our review of the series.
Plot Concept: Using amazing weapons powered by super-science, the international terrorist organization known as GALACTOR is out to steal all of Earth’s resources for itself and its inhuman masters. Mankind’s only hope? The International Science Organization and their elite strike force, the Science Ninja Team! But these five young heroes will have their work cut out for them as they take on the seemingly impossible task of defeating GALACTOR’s horrific arsenal of mechanized weapons of mass destruction and endless armies of henchmen.
Can costumed commandos Ken the Eagle, Joe the Condor, Jun the Swallow, Jinpei the Sparrow and Ryu the Owl really overcome such overwhelming odds? Utilizing the incredible technology and fighting techniques created by Dr. Nambu, and with the mighty ship the God Phoenix at their command, they just might! It’s time for the bad guys to get old-schooled science-ninja style as Japan’s original super team defeat evil, one flying kick at a time!
