A 1976 mecha show where the robot literally forms when two pilots physically join their bodies together. Mai didn't choose to be augmented into a living weapon, and that violation sits under every transformation sequence like a scar that never closes. The magnetism gimmick isn't flash, it's the show asking what it costs when your daughter becomes half of a machine designed to save the world.

Dr. Kazuki knows the Izaru are coming. He links a string of chaotic incidents on Earth to the reawakening of this ancient alien race, and to defend the planet he builds a robot, Gakeen, founded on magnetism and sphere joint theory. His daughter Mai goes through a dangerous augmentation process and becomes Magnetman Minus, the pilot of Mighty. Takeshi Hojo becomes Magnetman Plus, the pilot of Puraiza. To bring Gakeen to life, the pair embrace and transform their joined bodies into a metal plate that locks onto the robot's frame, supplying the energy it needs to battle the synthetic beasts the Izaru create. The result is 1976 mecha science fiction built around an unusual and striking combining sequence.
