History Manga / HadesProjectZeorymer

''Hades Project Zeorymer'' is a manga by Yoshiki Takaya (better known as the creator of ''Manga/{{Guyver}})'', written under the pen name Chimi Morio, and published in the adult manga magazine Lemon People from October 1983 to November 1984. A three-part finale was serialized in Monthly Comic Ryū in 2007. A four-episode OVA adaptation by Creator/{{AIC}} was produced from 1988 to 1990; the OVA tones down the [[BleachedUnderpants explicit sexual content]] and deviates entirely from the manga storyline and setting.

* {{Bishounen}}: Ritsu the guy with the mask. [[CursedWithAwesome He hates it]]. Slight distinction in that he isn't simply feminine-looking. [[DudeLooksLikeALady He has an actual woman's face]].

%%* SplitPersonalityTakeover

Set in the near future, a secret feudal monarchy led by an empress and named 'Hau Dragon' uses, as a front, a firm 'International Electronic Brains' and has built a set of [[HumongousMecha eight giant robots]], each possessing a power based upon the [[ElementalPowers eight elements of earth, fire, water, air, thunder, mountains, the moon, and the heavens]]. However, one of them, Zeorymer of the Heavens, has been stolen and the main character, fifteen-year-old Masato Akitsu, is forced into piloting it with a [[MysteriousWaif mysterious girl]] named Miku Himuro.

* {{Tykebomb}}: The Hakkeshu, Masato.

* WeCanRebuildHim: More like "The Dimensional Coupler System can rebuild him"

* NamesTheSame: Masaki Akitsu and Masaki Wakatsuki.

* ShutUpHannibal: When Masato is possessed by his evil personality ([[spoiler:/ the scientist who stole Zeorymer]]), he tells the last 3 Hakkeshu that they are [[spoiler:clones derived from the same zygote]]. Rockfell says it does not make any difference. She does a HeroicSacrifice, even though she is a DesignatedAntagonist / AntiVillain.

Zeorymer possesses an energy based weapon called the "Dimensional Coupler Cannon" that appears almost telekinetic in nature; by holding its fist in the air, or aiming it at a target, energy strobes across the orb and causes a [[StuffBlowingUp large explosion to engulf whatever enemy it is directed against]]. These orbs can also [[FrickinLaserBeams fire beams of golden-hued energy]] (labeled as the Energy Wave attack) which can cause massive damage, and project [[DeflectorShield a forcefield which seems nearly impenetrable]]. The robot itself is also incredibly durable: in the third episode, it was struck with a weapon that left an effect similar to that of a nuclear warhead, yet suffered only [[NighInvulnerability minimal damage]]. Zeorymer of the Heavens is able to hover, fly, teleport unspecified distances, and possesses an incredibly potent weapon known as the Hades Attack: when it lifts its arms in the air then lowers them across its chest, slamming its fists together or against the large golden orb on its chest, the robot releases a [[NukeEm huge blast of golden energy that, at full power, can cause an explosion visible from space]] (inferring the power of several gigatons at least, though even on lower settings this final weapon seems equal to most nuclear weapons in scale). When this attack is activated, a mysterious voice, possibly Zeorymer's itself, can be heard saying "Meiou," the attack's name.

* BoringInvincibleHero: Zeorymer, at least when [[spoiler:Miku attached to the main power drive.]]

* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: More like ''talking yourselves to death'' in the anime. Most of the time in the fights deal with the Hakkeshu ranting to Masato or each other for various reasons. [[CurbStompBattle And then Masaki takes over, uses "Meiou"]] and [[BoringInvincibleHero wins without any effort.]]

* PoweredByAForsakenChild: The Ultradimensional System's key component needs to be kept in Miku's uterus for some reason, and Zeorymer keeps poking her... Look, it's a [[SuperRobotGenre Super Robot]], it doesn't have to make sense.

* WaveMotionGun: Rose C'est La Vie's J-Kaiser. The AdaptationExpansion of this OVA in VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsJudgment gives the CanonForeigner [[spoiler: Great Zeorymer this same weapon]].

Set in the near future, a secret feudal monarchy led by an empress and named 'Hau Dragon' uses, as a front, a firm 'International Electronic Brains' and has built a set of [[HumongousMecha eight giant robots]], each possessing a power based upon the [[ElementalPowers eight elements of earth, fire, water, air, thunder, mountains, the moon and the heavens]]. However, one of them, Zeorymer of the Heavens, has been stolen and the main character, fifteen-year-old Masato Akitsu, is forced into piloting it with a [[MysteriousWaif mysterious girl]] named Miku Himuro.

* WaveMotionGun: Rose C'est La Vie's J-Kaiser. [[spoiler: Great Zeorymer also has this in its arsenal.]]

* PaidInFamily: In the OAV, the Akitsus raised Masato solely because the Hau Dragon Empire paid them for it. Poor Masato is shocked when he's captured and his family [[KickTheDog collect their fee and leave]].

* GratuitousRape: The rape scene has no plot relevance, is not even acknowledged by the characters, and makes it hard to like the main character even after [[spoiler:his evil side loses the battle for control]].

* DysfunctionJunction: The Hakkeshu are all these. Masato and Miku are both the most doormatty of [[ExtremeDoormat Extreme Doormats]], Taiha feels guilty about not caring for his lover the same extent she does to him, twins Shi-Aen and Shi-Tau have horrible teamwork due to Shi-Aen's [[AloofBigBrother detached nature]] and Shi-Tau's jealousy, Ritsu has an inferiority complex due to [[SoBeautifulItsACurse bishie good looks]] making [[UnsettlingGenderReveal everyone think he's a woman]], Giso was hopelessly a RomanticRunnerUp, Rokfel [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys couldn't see Giso's dependability and loved the jerkass Saiga]], and Saiga is the only person in the series that's worse than Masato is when he goes psycho. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in the fact that their creator ''wanted'' them that way so he'd have weaknesses to exploit. As for Yuratei, she is programmed to care about the mission above everything else, which is why when she realizes she's screwed whether she wins or loses, she just gives up and lets Zeorymer win.
