DENJIN ZABOGA is hyper violent martial arts action coupled with crazy robot action -- when I was a kid, I got two books from Hawaii on ZABOGA, and I thought it looked "cheap," but when we finally saw the series in the early 1980s, we were blown away by the insane action scenes! Electric Guitar-driven score by Shunsuke Kikuchi helps add to the martial arts insanity! I own the R2 DVD box set, and it was one of the better purchases I have made (I already had the entire series on VHS dubbed from the laserdisc box sets).

But, it's not DENJIN ZABOGA -- fans have been asking JN Productions, who have released KIKAIDA, KAMEN RIDER V3 and the upcoming KIKAIDA 01 DVDs, to secure the rights to ZABOGA (and other shows aired during the '70s in Hawaii), but they're being pretty quiet about what they're going to do next.
