I channel zapped in a decade ago and landed on a daytime anime on Tele 5 or something with a "Shounen" look. I only a battles going on and a male character screamed out "shining or blazing swan" during an attack.A swan appeared behind him while doing so. It can´t be a famous show and what i just described sounds memorable yet google never managed to helped me.Please help to solve this decade long mystery. Thx. 2y63w

It's awesome, btw xD

Yes, you're worthy!

Thanks so far. I know of the franchise (who doesn´t) and Saint Seiya: Jashin Erisu also came to . The dub year makes sense too but the gears of recollection didn´t click when i watched it. Any more ideas?

New year new luck! I tried another search after Saint Seiya failed to trigger a recollection
(i am not saying that it isn´t what i zapped to) and SilverHawks was the closest match.
That toon also came to but i don´t think that i solved the mystery yet.
Unless i had a brain hemorrhage while watching Die Wilden Schwäne...

Try Battle of the Planets (the original Gatchaman).

The old school Gatchaman hasn´t graced German TV to my knowledge so the hunt goes on.
The male character said the word swan in English despite the dub if i correctly.
