->"''Let's Sasuride!"''


''Galactic Whirlwind Sasuraiger'' (also translated: Sasuraiger, Galactic Gale Sasuraiger, and Wonder Six.) was an anime series aired from 1983 to 1984 in Japan with a total of 43 episodes. The series served as a sequel to the {{Baxinger}} anime series. The original concept is derived from ''Literature/AroundTheWorldInEightyDays''.

Set in the year 2911, fifty planets have been discovered throughout the solar system and inhabited by humans. A gambler named I.C. Blues makes a bet with the boss of a criminal syndicate known as Bloody God that it is possible to navigate to all 50 planets within the space of one year. I.C. Blues and the JJ-9 team, made up of Rocky, Beat and Birdy, purchase a super robot capable of transforming into a train, the Sasuraiger, to accomplish the task ahead. The series follows the adventures of the group as they struggle to reach the gold and overcome the obstructive acts of the Bloody God syndicate that seeks to stop them from completing the goal.

The series had a line of toys under the name Bertrain in Japan and Fast Track in the Convertors toy line in the U.S. The series also was included in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsGC'', along with fellow J9 robots Anime/{{Braiger}} and Baxinger.

!!This work includes the following tropes:

* ActionGirl: Birdy can be just as badass as the boys.
* AdjectiveNounFred: Galactic Whirlwind Sasuraiger.
* ArtisticLicenseSpace: Needless to say, there aren’t 50 planets in the Solar System. Justified in-universe, though, because the plot of Braiger (set 800 years before) culminated with Jupiter being destroyed and its mass used to create dozens of new Earth-like planets.
* ATeamFiring: Any time anyone fires on the JJ-9 team, they'll usually miss.
* BigBad: Bloody God.
* ByThePowerOfGreyskull: "Let's Sasuride!" uttered by Blues before transforming.
* CoolAirship
* CoolTrain: Sasuraiger itself.
* CurbStompBattle: Try as they might, none of Bloody's goons can ever seem to do any damage to Sasuraiger.
* DarkIsEvil: Bloody God, who is bathed in shadow even out in the open until the very last episode.
* DaysOfFuturePast: 2911 looks a lot like the wild west or the 80s, depending on the planet.
* DeathFromAbove
* DistantSequel: 200 years after Baxinger, 800 years after Braiger.
* EnforcedPlug
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Bloody God might be an amoral, omnipotent scumbag for the most part, but even he won't tolerate his mooks ruining his name by being bad losers.
* EverybodyLives: None of the main cast are dead by the end of the series, in contrast to Baxinger.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Bloody God once again.
* FieryRedhead: Rock.
* GenkiGirl: Petit Lotti, intrepid reporter and ball of joyful energy.
* GoodIsNotSoft: The JJ-9 Team are the good guys, but they're not afraid to gun down any bad guys who bring harm to others. Rock is the best example of this.
* GracefulLoser: Bloody God stops an attempted shooting at Jimmy and Suzie's wedding and gracefully signs off on the prize to Blues and the crew.
* GrandFinale: To the J9 Trilogy. The final episode even has a montage of J9-I from Braiger, J9-2 from Baxinger and finally J9-III, Sasuraiger.
* HappyEnding: Unlike [[BittersweetEnding Braiger]] and [[DownerEnding Baxinger]] Sasuraiger ends on a Unambiguously Happy Note.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: A group of scammers on one planet try to enforce this by stealing from people under the guise of JJ-9. It only briefly works before the real deal shows up and reveals the scam.
* HumongousMecha: What Sasuraiger transforms into.
* InvincibleHero: The only thing which brings IC Blues down is a cold. Failing that, the man never gets seriously hurt.
* TheLancer: Rock Anlock is Blues' right hand man.
* LegacyCharacter: We have another descendent of Khamen Khamen and more Nubians hanging around what's left of Jupiter. Or in this case, Son of Jupiter.
* LimitedWardrobe: The characters have a very limited wardrobe. Justified in that they're in space for a year.
* MeaningfulName: Blues and the crew come up with the name "Sasuraiger" because they're going exploring and "Sasurai" is Japanese for "wandering."
* MechaMooks: Every nameless mook who works for Bloody God is this.
* MrFanservice: IC Blues is a very handsome man. Many female characters note this.
* MythologyGag: The tradition of "YAY!" being a staple of J9 vernacular starting back in ''Braiger'' is still present here.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: "Bloody God." Definitely a peaceful guy with that name, right?
* NobleDemon: Fluzer Gellnar. Hitman for hire who never kills any innocents and who ends up allowing Rock to take his revenge on him, even going so far as to kill some of Bloody's goons while they have Rock and Beat cornered in the final episode.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The space DJ who allies with JJ-9 is blatantly modelled after Boy George.
* NonActionGuy: DD Richman continues the trend of allies voiced by Creator/JojiYanami who don't do any fighting.
* NowBuyTheMerchandise: Sasuraiger had a transforming toy which kids could buy after watching the series.
* ObviouslyEvil: Bloody God with his booming voice and being bathed in shadows is a dead giveaway.
* OfficialCouple: Jimmy and Suzie have run away to elope. They get married at the end of the series. Beat and Lotti are an item as well.
* RecycledSoundtrack: The iconic "Khamen Khamen" theme from ''Braiger'' is once again reused for Khamen the 25th whenever they show up.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Rock is out for revenge on some of Bloody's mooks who killed several of his friends and put his father in a wheelchair.
* SixthRanger: Jimmy and Suzie don't do much, but they're part of Sasuraiger's morphing sequence and help operate the robot.
* StockFootage: Every episode when the team converts their train into its mecha form.
* SuperRobot: The titular Sasuraiger itself.
* ThemeNaming: Our main crew, IC Blues, Rock Anlock, Birdy Shaw and Beat Mckenzie all have music-themed names.
* WagonTrainToTheStars: It's a big train which flies through space.
