Dimensional Warrior Spielban

Two Clinian children escape their decimated home planet Clin after the Waller Empire drains it of water to fuel its deity. They board the Grand Nasca and drift to Earth, growing up under new skies. As adults they don High Tech Crystal Suits that fuse armored protection with alien power, taking on the Waller menace that tracks them across cities and deserts. Spielban vows to honor his mother Anna and defend his homeworld, all while searching for his missing father and sister. The conflict widens as loyalties blur and a galaxy sized battle unfolds on Earth. On screen the battles blend practical effects with flashy suit designs, giving the show a distinctive neon kinetic energy.

Produced by Toei as part of the Metal Hero Series, Spielban aired from April 7, 1986 to March 9, 1987. Created by Shozo Uehara, it stars Hiroshi Watari with Makoto Sumikawa, Naomi Morinaga, and Ichiro Mizuki.

Spielban left a mark beyond its run, with its dynamic action footage later used for the battle scenes in VR Troopers. For international distribution Toei calls the show Spielvan, linking its on screen hero to a broader Toei brand of heroic adventures.

Reception among fans online has been positive, with an 8.9 out of 10 average from a small but dedicated audience. The series weaves themes of family loyalty, sacrifice, and the clash between science and ritual as two worlds collide and a young hero grows into responsibility. The show also reflects once common sci fi tropes of parallel worlds and odd tech that challenges the hero's sense of belonging.

There are no widely reported major awards or nominations for this title, which is common for many tokusatsu programs of its era. Still its place in the Metal Hero lineup helped shape later superhero team shows. Despite the lack of major awards it remains a fan favorite for retro tokusatsu collectors.
