In an earlier post about Juspion, I'd mentioned that when Juspion would fight giant monsters, he would knock them out. This was true for awhile, but later in the series, the monsters would get blown up. Juspion's robot Daileon mainly uses punches and kicks, and didn't get a sword until the final episode where Juspion faces Satan Goss.
The sword is formed by the The Golden Bird which is the guardian phoenix god of the galaxy, and a manifestation of the energies of righteousness. The bird scattered itself into five pieces that choose five children:(Kanoko,Kumiko, Daisaku, Hiroshi and Mika) to serve as vessels.
I'm not sure if they got the idea of the golden bird from the Brothers Grimm, but I thought the story was interesting and messed up at the same time. You gotta love the Grimm's.
The pursuit of a golden bird by a king's three sons:
Every year, a king's apple tree is robbed of one golden apple during the night. He sets his sons to watch, and though the first two fall asleep, the youngest stays awake and sees that the thief is a golden bird. He tries to shoot it, but only knocks a feather off.
The feather is so valuable that the king decides he must have the bird. He sends his three sons, one after another, to capture the priceless golden bird. The sons each meet a talking fox, who gives them advice for their quest: to choose a bad inn over a brightly lit and merry one. The first two sons ignore the advice and, in the pleasant inn, abandon their quest.
The third son obeys the fox, but when the fox advises him to take the golden bird in a wooden cage rather than a golden one, he disobeys, and the golden bird rouses the castle, resulting in his capture. He is sent after the golden horse as a condition for sparing his life. The fox advises him to use a wooden saddle rather than a golden one, but he fails again. He is sent after the princess from the golden castle. The fox advises him not to let her say farewell to her parents, but he disobeys, and the princess's father orders him to remove a hill as the price of his life.
The fox removes it, and then, as they set out, he advises the prince how to keep all the things he has won. It then asks the prince to shoot it and cut off its head. When the prince refuses, it warns him against buying gallowsflesh and sitting on the edge of wells.
He finds that his brothers are to be hanged (on the gallows) and buys their liberty. They find out what he has done. When he sits on a well's edge, they push him in. They take the things and the princess and bring them to their father. However the bird, the horse, and the princess all grieve for the prince. The fox rescues the prince. When he returns to his father's castle dressed in a beggar's cloak, the bird, the horse, and the princess all recognize him as the man who won them, and become cheerful again. His brothers are put to death, and he marries the princess.
Finally, the third son cuts off the fox's head and feet at the creature's request. The fox is revealed to be a man, the brother of the princess.
