Synopsis

On the surface, this would look to be a reworking of Hideaki Anno’s groundbreaking anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion with elements of other anime such as Yoshiyuki Tomino’s own Mobile Suit Gundam and Toei’s Lightspeed Electroid Albegas. But in essence, Solar Knights Zyuraijin as a four-quadrant five-act live-action epic dramedy of high school, military science fiction with robots and spaceships, cosmic horror of an invading alien force and a shadowy government conspiracy. Think the Power Rangers meets Stranger Things, The Breakfast Club versus The X-Files, and Star Wars meets Game of Thrones. The human race builds outposts across our Solar System, and they come under attack from within and without. To pilot the Galaxy Knights to defend Earth, seven children chosen from their seventh year of life are summoned to train and practice for inevitable duty when they reach 13 years of age. There is Commander Yoshiko Iwata’s lonely and anxious son Saburo, the gung-ho but dependable ally Ayume Lexington Shōkaku, quite troubled but strong class jock Takeru Shimamoto, the mysterious and withdrawn Rika Akamine, the intelligent and sociable Kentaro Araki, the beautiful but insecure Miyoki Ingraham Murayama, and the philosophical but fatherly Koichi Noguchi. Together serving aboard the Paladin as teammates, they may find fighting forces of Vyrus and NACHT to be just as difficult as but later on less so than confronting their own demons and psychological issues on adulthood.

Fan Casting Saburo Iwata(Unit 01 - White Galaxy Knight)

Role added by ltathena on December 19, 2021

Description of Saburo Iwata (Unit 01 - White Galaxy Knight):

Saburo shows emotional pain and a great fear of being hated or left behind, likely due to his perception of being abandoned in his youth and, subsequently, blaming himself for not being good enough to make his father Genichi stick around. In general, Saburo is shown to be introverted and disconnected from physical reality due to having little to no meaningful contact with others aside from his often guardian Mai Koyanagi. Though he denies it, he yearns for praise, and he eventually begins to pilot Unit 01 to gain the approval and praise of others, having reconnected with his mother and hoping to save his father – in the process coming to terms with his own masculinity and femininity.
