Spiral Zone is a 1987 animated sci-fi series that blends action, dystopian storytelling, and futuristic tech. Set in the year 2007, the show follows an elite team known as the Zone Riders as they battle the evil Overlord and his Black Widows, who have enslaved much of the world using a mind-controlling bio-weapon called the Spiral Zone. With its dark tone, advanced animation for the time, and unique character designs, Spiral Zone stands out as one of the most underrated and mature 80s cartoons — a must-watch for fans of retro action and sci-fi animation.

00:00Surrender or pay the consequences
00:10Earth's most powerful soldiers
00:14Or Earth's last chance
00:16To fight the spirals of love
00:19Darkness has fallen
00:24On the victims of the zone
00:29Our world calls for courage
00:36Peace and freedom
00:38We must own
00:41We will fight
00:44On our honor
00:46What is right
00:46We'll defend
00:48Fight the zone
00:49Zone rise
00:51Earth's most powerful soldiers
00:54Or Earth's last chance
00:56Against the spirals
00:59Zone riders, looks like we're coming to a commercial
01:07Let's fight the zone
01:13Going in, so stay on your toes
01:22Hit their flanks, attack
01:36Hit their flanks, attack
01:45Split up, circle around
01:53Thought I'd warm things up for you, Katabina darling
02:00You lose this time zone, riders
02:09What?
02:10Bandit, you coward
02:18Bandit, you coward
02:20I'm glad you could join us
02:29It's just you and me, Overlord
02:34Sorry to break up your party
02:48But I've got a job for you to do
02:49Ah, Dr. Lawrence's hullacramp
02:52Almost as much fun as we've even seen
02:54You're on our way, General
02:56So, that's the situation
02:59Overlord has zoned the entire north bank of Hong Kong Harbor
03:04The Hengshui River is the lifeline of southern China
03:07So if Overlord zones the south bank of the river
03:10All of southern China will be helpless
03:12Cut off from supplies
03:13Exactly
03:14That's why you and your people are going in
03:17To find out what he's up to
03:18This is the notorious Jade Scorpion
03:21She poses as a legitimate businesswoman
03:24But in reality, she controls all commerce on the river
03:27With her black market activities
03:29Whatever is happening, she'll know about it
03:31What makes you think this Jade Scorpion will be able to help us?
03:41I can't be sure of it
03:42You may have to contact her daughter, Mu Ling
03:45Although she's just a student at the university
03:47She may have heard something
03:49Ah, these look like real secret agent devices
03:53Yes, quite
03:54This pen, for instance, is in actuality
03:57A miniature needler
03:59Hmm, not a bad shot
04:02And of course, you can also write with him
04:04Seemed it still needs some work, though
04:07Yes
04:07This pen is, my dear, sense of thought
04:11While you are going in undercover
04:14Overlord being in the area
04:16Means you're going to need more than trick pins
04:18To handle things
04:19So in addition to your suits and regular weapons
04:22You'll take this little item here
04:24It can be set up anywhere, Commander
04:32Needler blasts automatically fire in several directions
04:36You set the program here
04:38Looks like a real handy gadget, Doctor
04:40You may have a chance to find out
04:42In Hong Kong
04:44It is impossible, Jane, Scorpion
05:08We need more time
05:09You have until Friday to pay
05:12You'll suffer the consequences
05:15Madam
05:16Yes, Bunglo
05:17The shipment
05:18Everything is in order, Madam
05:21Good
05:22Please show this man to the door
05:25You will excuse me, gentlemen
05:30I have other matters waiting
05:33You will excuse me, my daughter
05:46Everything I do is so that you will not have to follow in my footsteps
05:52Such a tender sentiment, my dear
05:56What?
05:57How dare you?
05:58Pardon the intrusion, Jade Scorpion
06:01But I have a business proposition to discuss with you
06:05Yeah, a business proposition
06:08You can help me to make a series of cargo shipments
06:13To various locations on the Heng Shui River
06:16You are the one they call Overlord
06:20Any business proposition of yours does not interest me
06:26Well, in that case, I must insist on your cooperation
06:31I think not
06:33Who are these people out?
06:39That's easier said than done
06:41You're out of your class, guys
06:48Hold on!
06:49Sorry, pal
06:55You ain't got a chance
06:57As I said
07:02I must insist
07:04On your cooperation
07:05What's this, doll?
07:08It's a live broadcast
07:10Mutant!
07:14Perhaps you will reconsider my offer
07:18I will do whatever you wish
07:21But please, do not harm my daughter
07:26Well, I am delighted we can do business after all
07:48Your plan is brilliant, Overlord
08:03The most brilliant plans are the simplest ones, Duchess
08:0721 zone pods will be distributed along the south bank of the river
08:12All time to detonate simultaneously
08:14In just 24 hours
08:16By the time those MCC jerks know what's happening
08:20It'll be too late
08:22Exactly
08:23The zone will be created
08:25And southern China will be mine for the taking
08:29How about that?
08:35MCC is getting sneakier and sneakier with these hidden bases
08:39Our suits will be hidden in our automobiles in case we need them
08:42All right
08:44Tank, Katarina and I will try to contact the Jade Scorpion at her nightclub
08:48Hero and Max, you locate her daughter, Mu Ling
08:51She may be able to help us if we can't reach the mother
08:54Yes, sir
08:55Come on, Hero
08:55I'll drive
08:56Well, it looks like intelligence missed on telling us how to dress
09:07Yeah, intelligence was not so intelligent
09:11Maybe we can use it to our advantage
09:14Just what I was thinking
09:16But first, we ask nicely
09:18Hi there
09:19We need to see your boss, the Jade Scorpion
09:21No
09:22You need to leave now
09:25Whatever you say
09:26But first, let me take your picture
09:29I will teach you
09:33Time to go to work
09:41Way to go, Tank
09:49Now let them come
09:53We will dip the whole bunch, yeah?
09:55No
09:56We want them to take us to the Jade Scorpion
09:59And they will not do that
10:03We beat them
10:04You mean we have to lose this fight?
10:08Well, somehow I have a feeling that's not going to be hard to do
10:11Next time I drive
10:18Or we will walk
10:19Excuse me, Miss
10:29We're looking for Miss Muleen
10:31We're friends of the family
10:32Could you please help us to find her?
10:34Himmel
10:41We lose the fight
10:42And still they do not take us to the Jade Scorpion
10:45No, but I think it brought the Jade Scorpion
10:48To us
10:50What is so important to you
10:53That you try to ruin my place of business?
10:57We are the Zone Riders
10:58We believe Overlord is planning to take over southern China
11:02We need you to tell us whatever you know about it
11:05What nonsense is this?
11:09Get them out of here and make sure they do not return
11:13You heard what she said
11:16I will make very sure you do not return
11:19You're making a terrible mistake
11:26Not at all
11:27The tides in the bay are swift
11:29You will never be found
11:31Have a pleasant swim, my friend
11:35It will be your last
11:38Stay tuned
11:41The Zone Riders will be back
11:42And now we return with more Spiral Zone action
11:50Good riddance
11:53What?
11:59Commander, are you all right?
12:01Yeah, thanks to you and Max
12:03We found a nightclub busted up
12:09We started looking for you
12:11My optic scan showed you being loaded into the junk
12:14And just in time
12:16We almost went ka-plunk
12:18Did you contact Mew-Ling?
12:20Overlord's got her
12:21If we can get her back
12:22And return her to her mother
12:25Overlord still doesn't know we're here
12:27Now we must strike quickly and quietly
12:29As you suspected, Commander
12:38Overlord's headquarters is in the palace
12:41Atop Victoria Peak
12:42Okay, let's get it
12:45In an hour and a half
12:47The Zone Pods will detonate
12:50All of southern China will be mine
12:53And the Zone Riders
12:55And the Zone Riders don't suspect a thing
12:57As far as we know
12:59You and Razorback stay here in case of trouble
13:02Bandits and Reaper
13:03Go upriver
13:04And organize the new Zoners
13:05When the Zone is in place
13:07Soon
13:09We will celebrate a great victory
13:12Ancient Chinese palaces
13:21Were built with secret entrances
13:23Hype!
13:28Here it is
13:29Ugh
13:35This is spooky
13:36Let's just hope this corridor
13:40Connects with one of the main hallways
13:42Bingo
13:43Maybe we should check the dungeon
13:47One more time
13:48She is zoned
13:49She will go nowhere
13:51The dungeon must be down those stairs
13:55Come on
13:56Alright, your turn, hero
14:06She is zoned
14:17But otherwise
14:18Alright
14:18Good
14:19Now let's get her out of here
14:20Wait
14:21If Overlord
14:22Finds her gone
14:23He might detonate the pods
14:25Before we can locate them
14:26And when we start destroying them
14:28He might do that anyway
14:30Perhaps not
14:31If I am here to stop him
14:33I am almost the same size as New Ling
14:35Under that hood
14:37They will think I am her
14:38Alright, cat
14:40We will get you out
14:41When this thing is over
14:42Good luck, cat
14:56My daughter
15:06New Ling
15:08We saved your daughter, Jade Scorpion
15:10The least you can do
15:11Is tell us what you know
15:13The pods have been shipped
15:14To my warehouses
15:16Along the river
15:17It is alright, Fong Lo
15:18Commander Courage
15:20And his people
15:21Have rescued New Ling
15:22Fong Lo
15:23Will be valuable to you
15:25In locating the pods
15:26But you must hurry
15:28You have less than one hour
15:30Max, take Tank
15:31Hero
15:32Hero and Fong Lo
15:32Upriver
15:33And destroy those pods
15:34I am going back
15:35To Hong Kong Island
15:37There
15:42Now the warehouse
15:43Hides the first one
15:44Not for long
15:46Soon we will be
15:52One step closer
15:53To total victory
15:54Hey
15:56It is not time
15:56For the pods
15:57To go off
15:58That was a pod
15:59Being destroyed
16:00There
16:03The Zone Riders
16:09Blow them out of the water
16:12Take evasive action
16:13The final pods are in place
16:1746 minutes until zero hour
16:21You are truly a genius, Overlord
16:24Wait for the Overlord
16:26Zone Riders
16:28They are destroying the pod warehouses
16:29What?
16:31Then I will detonate
16:32The remaining pods now
16:34Nyet
16:36I think not, Overlord
16:38Your plan is finished
16:40And so are you
16:42Sorry, Zone Nurse
16:56I am in a hurry
16:58That female Zone Rider
17:12Is somewhere in the palace
17:14Get her
17:15Overlord
17:16Septuagree reporting
17:19We are surrounded
17:21Under heavy attack
17:23How can the Zone Riders
17:25Be in so many places
17:26At once
17:27Get to sector three
17:28Destroy them
17:29You've got it
17:31We will take care of that
17:33Katarina
17:35Spread out
17:51Don't let the Zone Riders escape
17:53You have nowhere to go
18:15Surrender
18:16Or we will destroy you
18:19Or we will destroy you
18:20The Riverbends
18:24Overland is a shortcut
18:26To the last warehouse
18:27You guys handle the Black Widows
18:30We're taking the CD
18:31Sent me a postcard
18:35The Riders
18:38Get them
18:40You
18:44Black
18:46Cat's in trouble
18:58There is no one to save you
19:02Even now
19:03Your friends are being wiped out
19:06What?
19:07Duck!
19:13Hurry, Kat
19:15Now to blow the generator
19:17Razorback
19:24Get to the generator
19:25Protect it
19:26I can't
19:27Put him down
19:28Here's the last one
19:30Geronimo!
19:38Overlord
19:39The parts have all been destroyed
19:41Well, that ought to wrap things up
19:52The generator
19:53How could all this happen?
19:56Bandit
19:57It's over
19:58Black Widows
20:00Prepare to evacuate
20:01This time we've got them
20:20I think we've already most got them
20:23Intruder
20:24Look out
20:25Close but no cigar
20:35Just as well
20:37Smoking is bad for you
20:39With my warehouses destroyed
20:46I am no longer rich
20:48But there are more important things in this world
20:52Than money
20:53I shall be eternally grateful to you
20:56For returning my daughter
20:58I have been handling your daughter's investments
21:02Jade Scorpion
21:03She has made a great sum of money in stock market
21:07Your fortune is secure

21:13Have a happy life
21:15Have a happy life you two
