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.

02:01All right, you asked for this meeting, Ursula.
02:02Why?
02:03Because I want to leave Overlord.
02:04I'm tired of this endless fighting.
02:06I was never meant to be a soldier.
02:21I thought Overlord would have me rule at his side.
02:26But he has no intention of sharing power.
02:29sharing power overlord would gladly sacrifice me if he thought it would help him i'm afraid arthur

06:23but
06:30we didn't have time to argue
06:41we didn't have time to argue
06:45Stryker at 12 o'clock.
07:15Arthur, to unite the courage.
07:25Major McKenzie and I are safe.
07:27We're by the lake, about a mile west of the tower.
07:45All zone riders pull back.
07:51Regrouped by the lake.
08:06The zone riders are retreating.
08:10No pursuit.
08:12It could be a zone rider trick.
08:14Strykers, maintain a covering position.
08:20Where is King Arthur?
08:22I don't know.
08:24McKenzie stunned me when the firing started outside.
08:29The tower was surrounded.
08:31How could they escape?
08:34Perhaps this old castle has a secret passage.
08:38Dr. Lawrence and I agree.
08:40Duchess Dyer's offer is probably a trap.
08:42But if it is for real, it could be our biggest break ever.
08:46Commander, you're to make contact with Duchess Dyer and hear what she has to say.
08:50We can decide how far to trust her after you talk to her.
08:54MCC out.
08:57You'll need the phone number.
08:59Back at all times
09:00However, in order the 시간mer is a big deal.
09:05fill up space inverter,
09:06It doesn't depend like on what you'reポlranking as you talk to her.
09:08If we trust her,
09:09it won't bring her to evil,
09:10Unlike all sheard dances in.
09:11The ice wall tools are a way to achieve success.
09:16َ STUDIO
09:21Then we are trying to secure,
09:22and show enough here,
09:23if you're lucky to......
09:24Let's go.
09:42Came this way.
09:45I know them dainty little feet.
09:47Wait here.
09:57I've got a phone call to make.
09:59Uh, anybody have a quarter?
10:17Oh, you may fool over law, Duchess Dyer, but you cannot fool me.
10:33Yes?
10:34This is Commander Courage.
10:36Courage?
10:37Is MCC ready to accept my offer?
10:40It's not that simple, Duchess.
10:42How do we know we can trust you?
10:44You want proof?
10:45Good guess.
10:46Well, I'll give you proof.
10:47Every zone generator has a self-destruct code known only to Overlord.
10:52But I've managed to learn the codes for many of the generators.
10:55I'll break into Overlord's master control and feed the destruct codes to the generators.
11:00I don't know when I'll be able to break into the control.
11:03So you must have troops standing by ready to secure the cities free from the zone.
11:07And which cities will be free?
11:09New York, Paris, London, Tokyo, Mexico City, Leningrad, Chicago, Shanghai, Cairo.
11:22A zone writer.
11:24San Francisco, Madrid, Athens, Caracas.
11:30Do you have them, Courage?
11:31I've got them recorded on my comlink.
11:42Stay tuned.
11:43The zone writers will be back.
11:49And now we return with more Spiral Zone action.
11:51Zone patrol, move in.
12:12We're out of time.
12:38We're out of time.
12:40Come on, run, Commander.
12:47I'll make it.
12:49We have to get Duchess Dyer's message to McFarland.
12:52What's happening?
12:53Courage!
12:54Can you hear me?
12:56Sorry.
12:57The wrong number.
13:00Zone generators in half the major cities of the world all destroyed at once.
13:04I don't know.
13:06It sounds too good to be true.
13:08Commander Courage is right.
13:09Duchess Dyer's offer could be part of an elaborate trap.
13:13An overlord couldn't possibly have anything to gain by destroying his own zone generators.
13:18I believe her offer is genuine.
13:20I'm ordering all UN forces around the world put on standby alert.
13:24We'll follow Duchess Dyer to an abandoned apartment where she contacted the zone riders by videophone.
13:31So that's what they were doing inside the zone.
13:36I heard her use the name Courage.
13:39She has betrayed you, overlord.
13:47Yes, I know.
13:50I ordered her to.
13:52An excellent job of acting, my dear.
13:56Very professional.
13:57Why, thank you, overlord.
14:02I was once expelled from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts.
14:07I kept my plan a secret from the rest of you as a test of your loyalty.
14:13Fortunately for you, you passed the test.
14:17Two days from now, I will destroy several major zone generators around the world.
14:23The UN will believe that Duchess Dyer has betrayed me.
14:27Hundreds of thousands of troops will be sent into the areas freed from the zone.
14:32I will then set off new zone pods hidden near the old generators.
14:40The UN armies will be trapped when the zones reappear.
14:45In one day, I will capture great numbers of the United Nations forces.
14:50And the zone riders as well.
14:56I hate just waiting around like this.
14:59We'll start earning our pay again soon enough.
15:05It is sparking.
15:07Zone generators are self-destructing throughout Europe.
15:10We're sending all our reserves into the unzoned areas.
15:13Zones are disappearing all around the world, gentlemen.
15:16We're going to hit overlord now, before he can recover.
15:19I want you to move in and seize overlord's headquarters.
15:23Yes, sir.
15:24The zone riders and UN troops will be coming soon.
15:31I want the rest of these transports ready to follow me in two minutes.
15:35Is that clear?
15:36Yes, sir, General McFarlane.
15:37We are almost ready.
15:42I'm sorry, Kat.
15:43You and Ned are staying behind.
15:45Aye, what flippant genie saw that one out?
15:48Me.
15:49I'm keeping you out on my own authority.
15:52What is it, Tarek?
15:53I've got a bad feeling about this one, Kat.
15:55You just be ready if we need you.
15:59Column, move out!
16:01The zone riders and UN troops have ended up in the end of the day.
16:07I've got a bad feeling about this, Tarek, Tarek, Tarek, Tarek, Tarek, Tarek, Tarek.
16:09The zone riders and UN troops have entered the trap.
16:32Stand by for part detonation.
16:39Quickly, McKenzie, recall the troops.
16:45Ah, he's too late.
16:55We have secured Mexico City with Fort Belizeon.
16:58I win.
17:01Come in, Moscow.
17:02Buenos Aires, come in, Nairobi.
17:04Let's go.
17:17All units, attack.
17:19Attack.
17:20They're all zones.
17:48We've got to get them out of there.
17:49We've got to get them out of there.
18:18Lock in anti-aircraft lasers.
18:24Lock in anti-aircraft lasers.
18:42Good.
18:44Head down.
18:45That radar can't make a shot down here.
19:12Can't we do something?
19:14No, we'll have to leave them.
19:17It's our only chance.
19:24The flight's too heavy.
19:25I don't take care of it.
19:26Over here.
19:39Highway 94.
19:40The flight's too heavy.
19:51The flight's too heavy.
19:52Return to Headquarters and detonate the emergency generator pod.
19:59General, we have to pull back.
20:03All units, fall back on UN Headquarters.
20:07Don't let them get away!
20:26Come on, men.
20:37Come on!
20:52Duchess, perhaps you really are planning to abandon Overlord, yes?
20:58Oh, don't be foolish, crook.
21:01Overlord is closer to victory than ever before.
21:04I will never leave, Overlord.
21:14How bad is it, sir?
21:16We've lost whole armies inside the Zone.
21:19Almost half a million men.
21:21Then those of us who are left will just have to fight harder.
21:25Things may look bad, but Overlord hasn't won yet.
21:29Not as long as we have the Zone Riders.
21:33We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone action.
21:40And now we return with more Spiral Zone adventure.
21:42Earth's most powerful soldiers fight the Spiral Zone.
21:54Our world calls for courage, peace and freedom.
22:01We will fight.
22:02We will fight.
22:03We will fight.
22:04On our honor, what is right.
22:06We will fight.
22:07We will fight.
22:08On our honor, what is right.
22:10We will defend.
22:11Fight the Zone.
22:12Fight the Zone.
22:13Zone Riders.
22:14Earth's most powerful soldiers.
22:17Or Earth's last chance.
22:19Against the Spiral Zone.
22:25Cool.
22:26Spiral Zone.
22:27Spiral Zone.
22:28Oh!
22:33Eh?
22:34Ooh
