''Hi-Speed Jecy'' is a 12-part OVA series released on the VHS and laser videodisc formats beginning in 1989.
The story centers on a superhuman young man, Jecy Moore, his sister Tiana, and warrior priest Falk Green as they're asked to be bodyguards for a mysterious woman named Telaine Bismarck. Turns out, she's got connections to some shady people, with one in search of immortality, one with killer brains, and one who is a total psychopath. The adventure really kicks off when Tiana is abducted by the Bismarck crime family to force Jecy to do their bidding, and the experience brings back memories of a dark incident from his past...
Creator/StreamlinePictures was supposed to produce an English dub for VHS release in 1996, but problems with its distributor put the kibosh on that, and the series remains commercially unavailable outside of its native Japan to this day.
!!This OVA series contains examples of:
* BadassGrandpa: Paolon is able to survive anything that gets thrown at him, up to and including direct exposure to phantom space.
* CoolOldGuy: Paolon, the sentient spaceship with a butler for an interface.
* CopKiller: Cross has no qualms about attacking a patrol ship with lethal force and sending it into a field of the WMD phantom space.
* DamselInDistress: Tiana gets hit with the DistressBall fairly frequently, most notably in the first couple of episodes when she's captured by the Bismarck crime family.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Jera doesn't like in-fighting, particularly at crucial moments.
** Telaine really doesn't like the idea of wiping out all life with the biological WMD phantom space. Cross, on the other hand, is practically enthusiastic about it.
* FlatCharacter: Most of the villains, with the often-conflicted Telaine being the one exception, fit at least one villainy stereotype like a glove, with patriarch Lou being an ImmortalitySeeker, eldest daughter Jera being an EvilGenius, and Cross being just a plain psychopath.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Tiana, who not only demonstrates examples of ShesGotLegs, WhoWearsShortShorts, and ZettaiRyouiki, but also has a shower scene and, at one point early on, recharges in her birthday suit.
* PresidentEvil: President Markham is shown to be a greedy, corrupt bastard in league with the Bismarck crime family.
* SpicyLatina: Anita is the leader of a guerrilla force engaging in war against President Markham, who is considered to be a dictator.
* TechnicalPacifist: Jecy may be a fighter, but as he makes it plain to Falk, he doesn't believe in killing. [[BatmanGrabsAGun He does consider making exceptions when push comes to shove, however.]]
* ThisIsUnforgivable: Jecy to Cross, after [[spoiler:the murder of President Markham]].
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: As of episode 4, Anita and Tiana have settled into these respective roles, with Anita being the ActionGirl and Tiana being the frequent DamselInDistress.
* WhoWearsShortShorts: Both Tiana and Anita wear this with their outfits.
* WhyWontYouDie: The typical Bismarckian reaction to Jecy and Falk surviving an impossible situation. If something along these lines is spoken, you know the heroes are in the process of turning the tables.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: So you've got a thing going with a dictator who will gladly have you killed for crossing him, and he's just been captured by your biggest enemies who use him against you. What do you do? [[spoiler:If you're Cross, you just shoot him in the heart and be done with it.]]
