History Characters / VoltesVLegacyBoazanStarEmpire

* CharClone: Because the original Heinel/Zardoz predated the trope namer, this version of Zardoz qualifies as such. On top of being one of the Voltes Team's fearsome adversaries, the fact that he is also Hrothgar and Rozalia's first-born son, [[spoiler:this also means that he's the older half-brother of the Armstrong siblings]]. He even [[spoiler: disguises himself as "Manuel Nabuz" via the ''Polseras'' device to infiltrate Camp Big Falcon and gain the trust of Steve, Big Bert and Little Jon.]] Not only that, Zardoz used a variation of The Char Kick [[spoiler: when piloting Godor against Voltes V]].

** When Zardoz has the Voltes Team in his grasp, instead of killing them (thus rendering Voltes V without its pilots), he chooses to present them to his uncle as gifts, and then, for no reason, decides to spar with them. Both of these examples are how his trait of WouldntHurtAChild greatly works against him.

** Zardoz knew Jon was a GadgeteerGenius from [[spoiler: pretending to be "Manuel"]], but when Steve begs him to let Jon go, he agrees. Unsurprisingly, Jon rigs the teleporter device to rescue the Voltes team.

* WouldHurtAChild: Discussed and averted in episode 57, where Steve begs him to let Little John go, and keep the other members of the team after they're trapped in the ship. Zardoz agrees, and when Draco questions it, he asks him if he really is scared of a little kid. This is in contrast to his anime counterpart, who had no qualms about killing children.

* AgeLift: Heinel was stated to be 18 in the [[AllThereInTheManual Roman Robo Anime Climax Selection]]. Martin del Rosario, however, is in his 30s.

** In the original anime, Heinel and Katherine were [[ChildhoodFriendRomance childhood friends]][[note]]Confirmed in the [[AllThereInTheManual Roman Robo Anime Climax Selection]], after an incident where latter saw him being bullied and felt protective of him.[[/note]] In ''Legacy'', Zardoz only meets Zandra after Zambojil assigns her as an aide to him.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness:
** Zardoz inverts this. While he isn't ugly, he lacks Heinel's {{Bishounen}} prettyness, toussled hair, elegant features and long eyelashes.
** In the original anime, Jangal Rui looked like a BigRedDevil with a head full of hair. His ''Legacy'' counterpart is more human-looking in comparision. Draco also lacks Jangal's prominent beer belly.

* FanDisservice: Zardoz's hairy chest during the sex scene.[[note]]Ironically, his anime counterpart plays the opposite trope - in some art books, Yuki Hijiri drew [[PrettyBoy Heinel]] nude as {{Fanservice}}.[[/note]]

* AdaptationalBadass: [[spoiler: Godor managed to actually damage Voltes V, taking away its right arm and almost killed Mark Gordon compared to its anime counterpart.]]

* AdaptationalNationality: Inverted. In the original anime, The Boazanian Empire were a FantasyCounterpartCulture to France, but ''Legacy'' removes a lot of the Boazanian Empire's French aesthetics, such as the nobles dressing as French aristocrats. The clothing that some of ''Legacy'''s Boazanian nobles wear was {{Prop Recycl|ing}}ed [[https://twitter.com/EncantadiaSAGA/status/1656993418701344768 from]] ''Series/{{Encantadia}}''.
** On the other hand, it changes them to have a Middle Eastern influence. Oslak's headdress seems to be Middle Eastern inspired. Zaki's aides also appear to be two women that dress in a style that resembles the hijab. ''Legacy'' also rewrites the Boazan language to be derived from Arabic - for example, an early episode of the series reveals to us that the Boazan word for "Star" is "Najmi".[[note]]The Arabic word for star is "Najm"[[/note]]

** On the other hand, it changes them to have a Middle Eastern influence. Belgan's headdress seems to be Middle Eastern inspired. Zaki's aides also appear to be two women that dress in a style that resembles the hijab.
