Voltes V is the titular giant robot from the iconic Japanese anime series of the same name, created by Saburo Yatsude, a collective pseudonym used by Toei Animation. The anime premiered in 1977 and became a cultural phenomenon, particularly in the Philippines.

Voltes V is formed when five individual vehicles, each piloted by a member of the Voltes Team, combine. These vehicles are Volt Cruiser, Volt Bomber, Volt Panzer, Volt Lander, and Volt Frigate. The combined form is a powerful humanoid robot designed to defend Earth from the Boazan alien invaders.

While not a character itself, Voltes V is inextricably linked to the five pilots who control it: Steve Armstrong, Kenichi Go, Ippei Mine, Daijiro Go, and Megumi Oka. Their combined skills and unwavering dedication are essential to piloting Voltes V and wielding its powerful arsenal, including the iconic Volt Bazooka and Volt Saber.

Voltes V represents themes of courage, teamwork, and resistance against tyranny. Its enduring popularity stems not only from its exciting battles but also from its powerful message of hope and the importance of fighting for freedom.
