- Synopsis
- TV Series (1988-1989). 49 episodes. This series takes place on Academia Island, which is both a location and a school for scientists. One day, Academia's three finest students, Kenji Tsukigata, Rui Senda, and Gou Omura, feel their talents are being wasted at Academia and leave. They accept a position in the evil organization Volt when they pass a test. On the night of their departure, their former classmates, Yuusuke Amamiya, Jou Oohara, Megumi Misaki, Takuji Yano, and Mari Aikawa, see them leaving. Kenji draws a gun on the five, killing Takuji and Mari.
Prior to the pair's deaths, Takuji and Mari were working alongside Yuusuke, Jou, and Megumi in creating a suit strong enough for space exploration. They had made substantial progress on the night that they were murdered. One of the professors at the school, Professor Hoshi, pitches in to help them complete their original ambitions. Hoshi is also worried that Volt will begin attacking people, and thus helps out to prepare against a future assault.
Two years later, Academia launches a shuttle for space exploration. However, a mysterious ship appears and downs the shuttle; Yuusuke, Jou, and Megumi are among the few survivors. They discover that Kenji, Rui, and Gou were responsible for the destruction of the shuttle. As a result, Yuusuke, Jou, and Megumi take up the powers of the original project, becoming Liveman to battle against their former classmates and Volt.
Later in the series, they are joined by Tetsuya and Jun'ichi, younger brothers of the late Takuji and Mari, respectively.- Movie Soulmates' ratings
