Anyone Can Die: Taken to its absolute logical extreme in Be Invoked. ![]() And if that didn't make it pointless enough, there's the fact that it was all part of the Ideon's plan. It started over a misunderstanding and ends in a Mutual Kill. Afro Asskicker: Cosmo Yuki, main character, main pilot of the Ideon and proud owner of a stylish orange 'fro.Yoshiyuki Tomino apparently wants to make a remake of it. On top of all that, it also becomes apparent that Ideon has a will of its own and that it is displeased with the humans' wars and infighting. Along the way, many folks die, and the Solo crew screw up their relationships with other Terran colonies and the Earth itself, all of whom now want Ide for themselves. This results in a Strategy of the Week format as the Buff Clan (unsuccessfully) employs increasingly more devastating technologies and renowned military commanders to bring down the Solo ship and to get their hands on Ideon. The ship and the robot contain the so-called Ide, a source of infinite energy, which a militaristic alien-but-actually-human civilization called Buff Clan is after. The story goes as follows: A group of Terran colonists on a remote planet find a Cool Starship and three bulky starfighters that combine into a Super Robot.

The survivors travel from planet to planet, constantly pursued by the Buff Clan who desire the Ideon for themselves along with the mysterious energy source behind them, known only as the "Ide". An air raid siren is sounded and the survivors, using the Ideon for protection, board the spaceship found with the Ideon (known as the "Solo Ship") and flee. Bes Jordan, leader of the sparse military force stationed with the colonists orders that the Ideon tanks be armed with missiles, but while that's happening the cities on Solo are obliterated by the Buff Clan soldiers. This is a short respite, though, as another force is sent down soon after. Cosmo Yuki, the afro-wearing protagonist of the series, climbs aboard one of the three tanks and, when it initially forms the Ideon, fends off the first assault, repelling Gije's men. Assuming the "aliens" (Earthling colonists) have attacked Karala, the Buff Clan begins to attack. She is pursued closely by comrades sent by Gije, but they lose sight of her. Karala, the daughter of the Buff Clan's military commander flies down to the planet against orders to investigate (her commanding officer, Gije, is reluctant with her, due to her standing and the fact that he once was a soldier under her father).
