Five Minutes Before Destroying Tokyo
or Five minutes before Tokyo's total destruction!
or Cinq minutes pour mourir (Five minutes to die)
The Vegans test a Vegatron bomb on an island in the Pacific Ocean which is about the same size as Tokyo. The island is so badly damaged that it sinks into the ocean. Kouji is sent in Marine Spazer to investigate.
Kouji arrives in the spot where the island used to be. He sees lots of dead fish floating on the surface of the ocean. He dives into the ocean to investigate further and is attacked by minifos. He destroys a few of them but they outnumber him and cause him to crash into an island. They are about to destroy him when Grendizer shows up and chases off the remaining minifos.
The Vegans send a saucer beast to Tokyo with another Vegatron bomb. They threaten to use it to destroy the city if Grendizer doesn't surrender. They give him 5 minutes to decide. The Grendizer team rushes to Tokyo to try and stop the beast. A fight ensues. Tokyo is saved.
Thoughts
Danbei is not in this episode but Goro is. There is a scene near the beginning of the episode that takes place at the ranch.
I didn't bother to keep strict track but it seemed like more than five minutes passed from the time than the Vegans started the timer until the bomb exploded. Why didn't the Vegans scrap the timer and just detonate the bomb when it became clear that Duke Fleed was not going to surrender Grendizer?
This episode is more or less standard fare for this show. Nothing about it marks it as being terribly noteworthy.
