History Anime / MachineHayabusa

* TheHero: Ken Hayabusa, who takes the place that was of his father as ace of Team Saionji, in order to find the truth begind his death.

* NextTierPowerUp: to keep up with the increasingly more powerful cars deployed by Black Shadow, and the increasingly harder racetracks, Team Saionji equips the Falcon with increasingly more powerful jet engines. Actually, every upgrade adds one "rocket"; so that, for example, [[CaptainObvious the V1 has only one, the V2 has two and so on]], up to the impressive V5. At some point we learn that the V3 had already been developed before the start of the story, but [[spoiler:Ken's father]] had tested it and had risked his life in doing so, having been unable to subdue its extreme power and make it work at full efficiency. [[spoiler:Of course, Ken succeeds]].

!! This show provides examples of:

* MeaningfulName: Ayab Mobil Dick. It's possible that the correct transliteration, by current standards, would be different; still, it sounds a lot like [[MobyDick "Ahab Moby Dick"]] which actually tells something about the character. Even more considering that it's a [[CharacterNameAlias fake name]] that he chose for himself.

''Machine Hayabusa'' [[note]]also known as "Dash! Machine Hayabusa"[[/note]] is an anime series produced by [[ToeiAnimation Toei Animation]], comprised of a single season made of 21 episodes; it first aired in Japan in 1976.

** This quickly makes the other pilots of Team Saionji almost irrelevant during following races, as their cars don't receive any significant upgrade during the series.

* WeaponizedCar: most of the [[CoolCar Cool Cars]] in the show. The ones used by the bad guys are usually literal examples of this thrope, ranging from the classic [[OilSlick Oil Slick]] and [[SpikedWheels Spiked Wheels]] to an exotic sleep-inducing ray.

* TinTyrant: Ayab Mobil Dick wears a full set of medieval-esque armour, including a facial mask, to conceal his identity to the audience. Odd enough, given that most of the times he's inside his throne room only in company of [[TheDragon Baron]] and his [[MadScientist engineer]] ''and both of them already know his identity''.

* [=OrcusOnHisThrone=]: Ayab Mobil Dick is this until the last episode.
