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.

00:54Earth's most powerful soldier
00:56Or Earth's last chance
00:59Against the spiral zone
01:03Spiral zone
01:07Zone writers, looks like we're coming to a commercial
01:10Let's fight the zone
01:15Hey, what are you doing here?
01:30Hey, what are you doing here?
01:39My zoner, I'll try the zone
01:44Love'im for the sun
01:45Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
01:46I'll try to steal
01:48Oh, come on
01:49What are you doing here?
01:49Who are you doing here?
01:50So much
01:51is gone
01:51Oh, come on
01:52Come on
01:52Let's do it here
01:52And we're gonna get
01:53To this
01:54The heat
01:55We're gonna do that
01:56Oh, come on
01:57Let's go.
02:27I don't believe my eyes.
02:42Satellite photos don't lie, Max.
02:44The computer plant they looted is almost a mile from the zone.
02:48So, now they can operate outside the zone without their helmets.
02:52May we have a closer look?
02:57What is it, Hiro?
03:02I know them.
03:03They are from the monastery where I was raised.
03:06That is Sensei, my teacher.
03:09Master Daito, one of the greatest martial artists in the world.
03:12Touchdown in Japan in one hour.
03:26Master Daito, one of the greatest martial artists in the world.
03:47Now, Hiro-san, you will face me.
04:17I, I will never be able to defeat you, Master Daito.
04:26You are running, my son.
04:35Somehow, I will find a way to free you, Sensei.
04:39I want to know who they are, and how they can operate outside the zone.
04:51We will leave for Japan, now.
05:00Overlord is a human with human failings, but when his curiosity gets the better of him, then we will have him.
05:09Overlord is a human right?
05:11Overlord is a human.
05:13Now, we will go.
05:16Overlord is a human right to free you, Sensei.
05:22Overlord is a human right to free you, Sensei, sensei.
05:28Not at all.
05:32But, I can't find him.
05:33There.
05:54These home riders, attack before they see us.
06:00The pet widows.
06:03Evasive action.
06:05The pet widows.
06:11The pet widows.
06:16Identify, identify.
06:46It's them.
07:06Attention Black Widow!
07:14Commander, I am intercepting a signal from Overlord.
07:19Put it on our comm link.
07:20Attention Black Widow!
07:22The zoners we seek are the satellite weaponry plant outside the zone.
07:27Cease fire. Disengage.
07:29All right, let's go.
07:31Tell the others to finish here and meet me at the dojo.
07:44I fear that I should not be here.
07:47But why, Sensei?
07:48I have learned to trust my intuition.
07:52Something is not right here.
07:55I was afraid you would come, Kiro-san.
08:11I was afraid you would come, Kiro-san.
08:27All right, move in and be careful.
08:47The zoners are here.
08:50It is vital that you delay them.
08:52Susan Hanawashi and Katsu.
09:08I am sorry, but you will thank me later.
09:15Attention Black Widows! We've got company!
09:36And they don't even know we're here.
09:41Overlord will be pleased.
09:43We'll get the zoners and the zoneriders all at once.
09:47Moving closer.
09:49I want no mistakes.
09:51Stop! I do not wish to hurt you, Susan.
10:07I have found no one yet.
10:09Let's keep looking.
10:21Look out!
10:39Hey, Tick!
10:41Yeah?
10:42Remember the five credits I owe you from yesterday?
10:47It was ten credits.
10:48Oh, yeah. Well, if we get out of this one, I'll pay you back.
10:57Stay tuned. The Zone Riders will be back.
11:03And now we return with more Spiral Zone action.
11:14Huh?
11:18Come on!
11:20Now's our chance.
11:21We are now we will do the shooting.
11:27They can't fire!
11:28Retreat!
11:29Parker Schoon, Commander!
11:30Now, Max, I bought those ten credits you owe me.
11:32Oh!
11:41Parker Schoon, Commander!
11:42Now, Max, I bought those ten credits you owe me.
11:44The Zone Riders!
12:01The Zone Riders!
12:02Yo! Come with us!
12:04That is an order!
12:07I don't get it.
12:08Zone Riders always obey.
12:10Tobey!
12:27Hero!
12:29Did you find anything?
12:31Yes, the Zoners.
12:32And I have learned something very interesting about them.
12:35Not only can they function outside the Zone, they appear to have free will.
12:41Then it's more important than ever that we find them.
12:45I've never saw Zoners act like that before.
12:48Of course not, fool!
12:50If they were normal Zoners, they would not be outside the Zone without helmets!
12:54Overlord will not be pleased that we haven't caught them.
12:59Correct, Duchess.
13:01Overlord is definitely not pleased.
13:04Not pleased!
13:20Is all going according to plan, Sensei?
13:23Aye, Susan.
13:24Overlord will be more curious than ever.
13:25He himself will seek us out.
13:28And if Katsu's theories are correct, this device will be able to turn them against him.
13:34We need only one more component to complete it.
13:38We had not counted on the Zone Riders arriving so soon.
13:42Yes, and Hero with them.
13:50Any readings, Hero?
13:51Negative, Commander. No sign of the Zoners yet.
13:53Well, keep searching.
13:56Interesting.
13:58These Zoners have been collecting material with which to build a phase modulator.
14:03But it appears they still need one more component to complete it.
14:08And this is where they can get it.
14:11The Mitsuro Systems Plant.
14:13What exactly is this device?
14:15Let's not play games, Bandit.
14:18One or more of you knows very well what it will do.
14:23It is designed to turn Zoners against me.
14:26Very clever, but not clever enough.
14:29The superconducting resonator isn't powerful enough.
14:32Which of you is attempting to create their own private army?
14:36Quiet!
14:37Do you expect me to believe that these Zoners are doing this on their own?
14:46Well, why not? If they can operate outside the Zone, who knows what else they can do?
14:52We'll learn the truth soon enough. And woe to you if it's what I expect!
15:00Wait here, Susan.
15:01Why, Sensei?
15:02Something feels wrong.
15:03Stop!
15:04Wait here, Susan.
15:18Why, Sensei?
15:19Something feels wrong.
15:32Stop!
15:33It is him.
15:35Pretend to be his own.
15:36Strange.
15:37They would not obey us before.
15:40If they do now...
15:42You!
15:45Come here!
15:55It's a trick!
15:57Attent!
16:10Pandit!
16:12Use your stone effect cannon!
16:13I don't know what you had planned, but I will find out soon enough.
16:29And if it involves treason, someone will pay.
16:42I had no sight of them anywhere.
16:45We'll find them, hero.
16:46Look!
16:48One of the zonas!
16:55Face makeup!
16:56It was a trick!
16:57The best modulator was just about to get Overlord here so we could capture him.
17:04Yes.
17:05That sounds like Daito.
17:07We must find a way to free him and the others.
17:09If we can, hero.
17:10But our primary mission is still to put Overlord and his black widows out of business.
17:15So let's get to it.
17:21By the time we reach New York headquarters,
17:24my guests will tell me which one of you put them up to this.
17:29It wasn't me, Overlord.
17:32Honest!
17:32It must have been...
17:36The dome lighters again!
17:39Get them!
17:43All donuts!
17:45Attack!
17:46Attack!
17:48Scrabble power!
17:51Attack!
17:53Attack!
17:53Attack!
17:56Attack!
17:57Attack!
17:59Attack!
17:59Attack!
18:05An attack from here will finish them.
18:14Hero, you okay?
18:15Affirmative, command.
18:16But my backpack is damaged.
18:18I will have to do things as you say, the old-fashioned way.
18:22Roger, hero.
18:23Take care of yourself.
18:27Take cover!
18:30This is not the time, my friends.
18:35The zone has slowed you, Katsu.
18:38But my suit hampers me, and we are evenly matched.
18:42Master, let
19:01ask you, Katsu.
19:04hasta!
19:11Master, that I should have lived to see you this way.
19:18So, are we winning?
19:20So far, but we need to find the local generator and put it out of commission.
19:26Well, well, sitting ducks.
19:37Look out, Overlord!
19:40No!
20:04Intruder has been hit, and we have no vehicles! We must get away!
20:07Come on, let's find that generator!
20:11No, Sensei. Do not dishonor yourself this way.
20:12Forgive me, Sensei.
20:13No, Sensei. Do not dishonor yourself this way.
20:14Forgive me, Sensei.
20:15No, Sensei. Do not dishonor yourself this way.
20:17No, Sensei. Do not dishonor yourself this way.
20:22Forgive me, Sensei.
20:25Forgive me, Sensei.
20:26Oh, give me, Sensei.
20:32Oh, give me, Sensei.
20:33Oh, give me, Sensei.
20:34Oh, give me, Sensei.
20:35Too bad, Overlord, that his black widows get away.
20:36Well, at least we know the secret of the rogue zoners. That was a very brave, almost foolhardy plan.
20:43But we must all do what we can to fight the evil commander.
20:44Sensei, the final technique you used against me was a simple one that I was familiar with. You had to know it would fail.
20:50Now, the man was zoned. That messes people up.
20:51Or perhaps you are just better than you think you are.
20:52Possibly. But if anyone could resist the zone, even for an instant, then you would have to know it would have to fail.
20:57Well, at least we know the secret of the rogue zoners. That was a very brave, almost foolhardy plan.
21:00But we must all do what we can to fight the evil commander.
21:03Sensei, the final technique you used against me was a simple one that I was familiar with. You had to know it would fail.
21:09Now, the man was zoned. That messes people up.
21:12Or perhaps you are just better than you think you are.
21:15Possibly. But if anyone could resist the zone, even for an instant, it would be you.
21:22Well, unfortunately, the blow erased my memory of it. Neither of us can ever know.
21:29Well, perhaps it's better that way.
21:32Perhaps.
21:35We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone action.
21:42And now we return with more Spiral Zone adventure.
21:45Spiral Zone.
21:52Earth's most powerful soldiers.
21:54Fight the Spiral Zone.
21:58Our world calls for courage.
22:01Peace and freedom.
22:04We must own.
22:08We will fight.
22:10Honor, honor, what is right.
22:12We'll defend, fight the zone
22:15Zone Riders, Earth's most powerful soldiers
22:19Are Earth's last chance against the Spiral Zone
22:26Spiral Zone
22:42Spiral Zone
