Recap: Voltes V: Legacy, Episode 69 – Commander Robinson

After Commander General Robinson leaves CBF for the last time, zombieJamie walks past SGM Tadao who notices she doesn’t seem herself. He asks if she has permission to take one of the CBF Rovers. But zombieJamie responds by kicking him and his partner in the face. Big Bert comes running up as she drives away. He calls to alert his kuya.

Meanwhile, Commander General Robinson’s motorcade encounters a barricade on the road outside CBF. He thinks it’s an ambush, but his van and his escorts just wait to get attacked. Which they do when ninjaJamie pops out of the trees.

Papa Robinson gets out of the van and says he knows this is not his daughter Jamie. Oslak comes flying in to announce that he has Jamie under his control and asks if Papa Robinson can actually kill his own daughter.

Papa Robinson drops his gun and tries to reason with the ninja. But Jamie attacks instead. Papa Robinson is able to subdue her and remove the ring from her finger. He knows she never wears rings on a mission. Even mind controlled-ones.

Jamie is back to normal and they hug. Oslak can’t believe it, so he shoots at them. But Papa Robinson shields Jamie and absorbs the attack himself. Steve arrives by rover while Mark arrives in his Volt Machine and chases Oslak away.

Jamie cries as Papa Robinson bilins to Steve to take care of Jamie. Jamie says she is not strong and cannot go on without him. Papa Robinson apologizes for not keeping his promise, but wants her to promise him that she will live a happy life.

Papa Robinson dies.

Jamie is wheeled back to her room where she sees the present she purchased for him. She flashes back to many happy moments with her father during the show. She vows that she will avenge his death and destroy ALL the Boazanians.

Steve, Mark and Big Bert head to the command center to inform Dr. Hook that Commander General Robinson is dead. But he already knew that. Dr. Hook pays tribute to General Commander Robinson and leads a salute to him as they vow to continue the good fight.

Meanwhile, Oslak returns to the castillo and asks everyone to applaud him killing an Erthu leader. But Zardoz says the Voltes pilots are still alive, so who cares. Zandra and Draco make plans to bagsak Oslak.

Episode Thoughts

CBF’s poor security strikes again! They really didn’t know cars were set on fire on the ONLY road in and out of the island? Lol The world is doomed! Especially when Jamie was able to change out of her clothes and light stuff on fire faster than Commander General Robinson was able to reach the barricade. I mean, Jamie is a ninja. But come on now lol

It’s funny though that everyone seems to know that security is so lax at CBF. Like, Steve and Mark think they have to inform Dr. Hook of General Commander Robinson’s death as if he hadn’t been watching from the command center the whole time. Lol

Anyway, goodbye Commander General Robinson. Too bad you didn’t survive through the show’s two week extension. (Yikes! Ten more episodes! 😬)

Voltes V: Legacy Episode 69 is supposed to be available on GMA Network’s official YouTube channel:
But they usually post it as late as possible in order to drive more people to watch live and juice the ratings so they can post more ratings art cards on social media. =) They also blast spoilers on their social media so as to discourage you from ever thinking about not watching live ever again lol

I’ve seen people talk about how people worldwide should subscribe to GMA Pinoy TV in order to watch the series. I’d recommend that if you are interested in watching lots of Filipino programming. But if you only want to watch Voltes V: Legacy, I don’t think it’d be a good investment. Especially since you can’t watch the series on demand anyway. GMA Pinoy TV is a linear, premium TV channel on most cable and satellite systems.
