Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Marcos banned Voltes V in 1979 for its 'rebellious themes,' then unbanned it after public outcry—making this 1981 theatrical release a genuine cultural victory.
This film only exists because Filipino distributor Questor compiled episodes 27-30 with exclusive new dubbing—Japan never got this cut.
