Kyutama

Argo Kyutama

The Argo Kyutama (アルゴキュータマ, Arugo Kyūtama, lit. Argo Nine Ball) is the Skill Kyutama, completed by the trio of Ho (86), Ryukotsu (87) and Tomo (88), which embodies the greater constellation Argo Navis. It is used to summon the Argo Ship.

Notes

• The Argo transforms into the parts of this mecha.
• Its suit actor is Masato Tsutamune, with Keizo Yabe acting as his substitute.
• Due to the short length of episodes that Cosmic Fury has, the Argo Ship (as well as its components) is one of the four Voyagers that were not adapted in Cosmic Fury with the others being the Orion Voyager, Kojishi Voyager, and the Cerberus Voyager.
  • It's also the only main Kyu Voyager that does not have a direct counterpart in Cosmic Fury.
