[edit] Trivia

  • Only Metal Hero with giant robot.
  • The series was not a big hit in Japan, but became extremely popular when broadcasted in Brazil and France.
  • In Brazil, it was named Jaspion, due to phonetic differences in Portuguese.
  • Since there was quite a resemblance between Satan Gorth and Darth Vader, some people joked that Satan Goss is Vader's father, or his personal mecha.
  • The official Toei video releases in the '80s listed in English, below the title, "Space Wolf Juspion." This has created some confusion and has led some to believe that is the actual title of the series and translation of "Kyojuu Tokusou." The Space Wolf name is simply one of Juspion's nicknames much like the "Galactic Tarzan" in order for him to have a title to introduce himself by.
  • Series star Hikaru Kurosaki, who at the time was known for his comedic performances, was reportedly uncomfortable with having yet another comedic role with Juspion. Out of his fear of being typecast further, the writers gradually change Juspion into a more serious, traditional hero several episodes into the series.
