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 β€” a must-watch for fans of retro action and sci-fi animation.

01:02Spiral Zone
01:06Zone writers, looks like we're coming to a commercial
01:09Let's fight the zone
01:15We are approaching the island
01:28Ready on my signal
01:33Chef's up
01:34We're taking heavy fire from the shore batteries
01:57Get the Eagle out of here
01:58You all right, Knight?
02:23Man, we're not seeing them all
02:33Shoes
02:34We're getting down
02:46We're getting down
02:47Come on, get it down.
03:17It's going to blow!
03:34They've knocked out the plasma cannons.
03:44Let's go!
03:47Commander, there seems to be no other enemy defenses here.
03:51Only the plasma cannon batteries were manned.
03:54Open fire!
04:02Black Widows!
04:17The
04:45A revoir.
04:52A revoir.
05:06Find your birdie slick, don't you?
05:16We must retreat, Bandits.
05:25All back to Intruder!
05:29You should be more careful, Benjamin-son.
05:32I'll try to remember that, hero.
05:34Katarina to Commander.
05:36I am over the zone generator.
05:38But it is very strange.
05:41The area seems to have been abandoned.
05:44And I will take advantage of that.
05:59It appears Overlord changed his mind about building a base on the island.
06:03The zoner guards and construction crews must have been transported to another zone.
06:07Overlord must be planning something big.
06:10Something that requires a lot of troops.
06:12And if Overlord is planning something big, we'll need more spare vehicles.
06:16We're down to our backups now.
06:18Dr. Lawrence is bringing out replacements for the vehicles you lost.
06:21You can rendezvous with him in Japan.
06:23He's meeting with an industrialist there.
06:25A man named Kenjiro Taka.
06:28Hey, hero.
06:29Have you ever seen metal fatigue as bad as this?
06:41What is wrong with hero?
06:43What is wrong with hero?
06:44I don't know.
06:45But Kenjiro Taka is hero's father.
06:46I have invested all my resources to create the most efficient factory in the world.
06:50Everything is completely automated.
06:51It operates almost entirely without workers.
06:55I must say, it's very impressive.
06:56I...
06:57MCC will have the best vehicles and weapons at this time.
06:58I have invested all my resources to create the most efficient factory in the world.
07:02Everything is completely automated.
07:03It operates almost entirely without workers.
07:16I must say, it's very impressive.
07:19MCC will have the best vehicles and weapons at the lowest price.
07:26Well, I'm here as a scientist, Mr. Taka.
07:29The UN command will have to consider your proposal.
07:32And then perhaps send an official to discuss the contract.
07:35Ah, yes.
07:36But a favorable report from you, Dr. Lorenz.
07:42Excuse me, Taka-san.
07:43The Zone Riders have arrived.
07:46Will you please have dinner with me tonight, Dr. Lorenz?
07:49You and all the Zone Riders.
07:59Welcome to my home.
08:07Commander Courage, Dr. Lorenz told me so much about you.
08:11Well, it's a pleasure to meet Hiro's father, Mr. Taka.
08:14You have every reason to be proud of him.
08:16Ah, yes.
08:17Taking pride in each other is important between father and son.
08:21Show our guests to their seats, Hiro.
08:24Yes, Father.
08:26I am sorry, I have nothing better to offer you.
08:40It was very good, very good.
08:43Ah, my wife is visiting with her family in Kyoto.
08:48So, temporarily, I am reading the simple rife of a bachelor.
08:53Hmm.
08:54It must be hard to live a simple life in a mansion.
08:58Rich or poor makes no difference, my son.
09:01Ah, that is easy for a rich man to say, Father.
09:04Hero.
09:05All my life, I watched men and women working in the valley below
09:09to make our family rich.
09:11Now, robots replace them in the factory.
09:14But what do you care, as long as you make more money?
09:17I found other jobs for all of my workers.
09:20You even tried to make money out of the war against Overlord.
09:24Leave my house!
09:26Icky macho!
09:28Hero.
09:30Pardon me.
09:32Eh, please forgive this unpleasant scene.
09:35Hero and I have disagreed for many years.
09:39My son does not believe in money.
09:42He believes in meditation.
09:49Hero, wait!
09:50I will go after him.
09:51Hero must end this quarrel now,
09:53or someday he may find it is too late.
09:56There are things I had said to my son.
09:59What is he doing?
10:11Meditating now.
10:13Oh, looks more like he's thinking to me.
10:17I've got it!
10:19I got him!
10:49Welcome home, Hiro-Taka!
11:19Bandit to Overlord! The Zone Riders are in the area!
11:23We have captured Lieutenant Hiro-Taka!
11:26Send him under guard to Intruder and continue the operation!
11:31The Zone Riders cannot stop us!
11:35Yeah! I'd like to see him try!
11:41Bandit to Reaper! Send the Zone Pods down to us!
11:45Keep moving! Quickly!
12:01Can you stun him with one shot?
12:03Oh, easy as moon pie!
12:15We have penetrated the minefield!
12:23Quickly! Through the fence!
12:35Turn it!
12:37Take a look!
12:43I'll show you to the neprials!
12:46The unstoppable!
12:47Let's go!
12:48Keep the power!
12:50Let's go!
12:51Hey!
12:53This is the best one!
12:55I swear to God!
12:57I swear to God!
12:58You didn't see me!
13:00You didn't see me!
13:01You didn't see me!
13:02I swear to God!
13:03You didn't see me!
13:04I swear to God!
13:05Tank to Commander. I have just rescued Hiro from Four Zonas.
13:10Overlord must be in this area.
13:13You and Hiro get back here while we get some new vehicles.
13:35Some pod away!
14:05How foolish of them to think a simple minefield can stop me, Grook!
14:31Come! We must hurry!
14:35You must be bigger than you look!
14:41The security guard should be able to protect you here at the house.
14:45We're gonna take out those generators.
14:47Send Tank and Hero down as soon as they get back.
14:49All right, let's move it!
14:51Let's move it!
14:53Let's move it!
14:57Let's move it!
15:13Prepare for Zone Rider attack!
15:17We've got to find a way through these blinking lines!
15:27This is the way to do it!
15:33We've got to find a way through these blinking lines!
15:39This is the way to do it!
15:43This is the way to do it!
15:49Let's move it!
15:51You've got to find a way through these
16:17I don't know.
16:47Let's go.
17:17Father!
17:27The Zone Riders have attacked the generators on this side of the factory.
17:32Overlord has an army of Zoners down there.
17:39Good luck, my son.
17:41You are proud of him, aren't you?
17:43Oh, yes.
17:44But he is not proud of me.
17:48We've got to get out of here.
17:50Ned, can you make it to the Eagle?
17:52Right. I'll give it a go.
17:54Captain, get them.
17:59Captain, get them.
18:14If you've got any ideas, Cap, I'd like to hear them.
18:28Come on!
18:31All Zone Riders, withdraw!
18:33Oh, they're whooped!
18:47Let's get them!
18:49Hold your positions.
18:52Be sure to counterattack if we leave the Zone with Kenjiro Tana's troops to help them.
18:57Start strengthening our defenses.
19:00The factory is mine forever!
19:03I'm afraid it's useless.
19:07Overlords put together too big an army.
19:09We'll have to evaluate the house and the security forces.
19:13You're too close to the Zone.
19:14I will tell my father to hurry.
19:28Father!
19:30I am sorry I embarrassed you in front of Dr. Lawrence and the others.
19:34Aye!
19:35You are very angry, hero.
19:37I cannot approve of putting money above everything else.
19:40Oh, you have never understood.
19:44I have spent my whole life building that factory.
19:47Do not worry about your investment, Father.
19:50Someday Overlord will be defeated.
19:52The factory will belong to you again.
19:55But now you must go.
19:56It is too dangerous here.
19:57Ah, so.
19:58But first I must get something from the safe.
20:02Money again?
20:10I will reprogram these robots to build the vehicles and weapons I need.
20:29Enough to equip the largest sonar army the world has ever seen.
20:34Destruction will commence in 10 seconds.
20:38No!
20:38Nine seconds.
20:41We have lost the game purchase.
20:44Eight seconds.
20:46Seven seconds.
20:49Six seconds.
20:51Five seconds.
20:53Four seconds.
20:56Three seconds.
20:58Two seconds.
20:59One second.
21:01Activating explosive device.
21:03Father.
21:11Father.
21:12Father.
21:15What have you done?
21:17You have destroyed everything you...
21:19You spent your life working for.
21:21I did not build the factory for Overlord.
21:25I built it for my son.
21:31Father.
21:32We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone action.
21:42And now we return with more Spiral Zone adventure.
21:45Earth's most powerful soldiers fight the Spiral Zone.
21:56Our world calls for courage, peace, and freedom.
22:05We must storm.
22:07We will fight on our honor.
22:12What is right.
22:14We'll defend.
22:15Fight the Zone.
22:17Zone riders.
22:18Earth's most powerful soldiers.
22:20Or Earth's last chance against the Spiral Zone.
22:28Oh, God.
22:29On Earth's most powerful disgruntling.
