==Plot==
{{Main|List of Cyborg 009 characters}}
Nine people from around the world are kidnapped by the evil Black Ghost organization, led by the tyrant Skull, to undergo experiments that would allow him to use them as human weapons to promote the production of cyborg warfare. While he succeeds in converting the group of nine into cyborgs with superhuman powers, his most reputable scientist, Dr. Isaac Gilmore, helps the cyborgs escape to rebel against Skull and Black Ghost. The nine cyborgs – from which the name of the series is derived – band together in order to stop Black Ghost from achieving its goal of starting the [[World War III|next world war]] by supplying rich buyers with countless weapons of mass destruction. After the destruction of Black Ghost, the nine cyborgs go on to fight a variety of threats, such as mad scientists, supernatural beings, and ancient civilizations.

==Media==
===Manga===
{{seealso|List of Cyborg 009 chapters}}
The first series was serialized in ''Weekly Shōnen King'' ([[Shōnen Gahosha]]). It depicts Cyborg 009's origin story, the escape from Black Ghost, and the group running from the cyborg assassins. It ended with the battle against the [[Mythos]] Cyborgs.

The second series, called ''The Underground Empire Yomi Arc'', appeared in ''[[Weekly Shōnen Magazine]]'' ([[Kodansha]]) alongside the release of the film version. The story is highly influenced by [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]]' [[At the Earth's Core (novel)|''Earth's Core'' series]], including an expedition to the center of the Earth with a drill tank and a reptile race who can use telepathy and grow wings. The story ends with the final battle against Black Ghost. In the final scene, 009 and 002 fall into Earth's atmosphere and are seen as a shooting star by two small children, one of whom wishes for a toy gun and the other for world peace (a scene reminiscent of [[Ray Bradbury]]'s ''[[The Illustrated Man|Kaleidoscope]]''). As such, 001 was able to use his telekinetic powers at the last minute to retrieve 002 and 009 from their plummet before death.

The third series, serialized in ''[[Bōken Ō]]'' ([[Akita Shoten]]), contained 6 story arcs, including the Monster Island Arc, the Middle East Arc, and the Angels Arc. The series abruptly ended during the Angels Arc.

The fourth series, called ''The Battle of the Gods'', was serialized in ''[[COM (manga magazine)|COM]]'' ([[Mushi Production]]). Ishinomori resumed and retold the interrupted Angels Arc with a new plot, but the series once again ended abruptly. Ishinomori would not resume the series for a few years after this.

The fifth series was serialized in ''[[Shōjo Comic]]'' ([[Shogakukan]]), and included the ''Wind City Arc'', the ''Snow Carnival Arc'', and the ''Edda Arc''. The story deals with legendary and mythical like characters challenging the 00 Number Cyborgs.

The sixth series followed closely after the fifth series. Arcs such as the ''[[Deinonychus]] Arc'' (appeared in ''[[Monthly Shōnen Jump]]'' ([[Shueisha]])) and ''Green Hole Arc'' (appeared in ''Play Comic'' ([[Akita Shoten]])) were depicted, then long after, the ''Underwater Pyramid Arc'' was serialized in ''Monthly Manga Shōnen'' ([[Asahi Sonorama]]).

The seventh series was serialized in ''[[Weekly Shōnen Sunday]]'' ([[Shogakukan]]) alongside the revival anime. A long arc consisting of many short arcs, this series dealt with the battle against Neo Black Ghost as well as the emotional trauma of the 00 Number Cyborgs. The story is set approximately 20 years after the ''Yomi Arc'', and the personalities and conduct of the cyborgs are depicted as more adult.

The eighth series was serialized in ''Monthly Comic Nora'' ([[Gakken]]). This longer arc was called ''People Drifting Through Time and Space Arc'', and is a sequel to the ''Immigration Arc''. The [[Count of St. Germain]] from the Underwater Pyramid Arc appears, but the design of his drawing is different.

====Manga publication history====
The series was written and illustrated by [[Shotaro Ishinomori]], serialized in ''Monthly Shōnen King'', published in Japan by [[Akita Shoten]] and other companies through its history, and published in North America by [[Tokyopop]].

===Video games===
Three video games based on the series were released only in Japan. One of them was an [[action game|action]] [[platformer]] released for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]] by BEC in 1994; for each level the player selects one of the eight adult cyborgs (001 is not playable) as the leader of a strike force for a particular mission accompanied by two others. The second game (released by [[Telenet Japan]]'s subsidiary Riot) in 1993 was for the [[Mega CD]] and is also a side scroller.

In 2002, ''Simple Characters 2000 Series Vol. 15: Cyborg 009: The Block Kuzushi'' was released for the [[PlayStation]] by [[Bandai]].

==English releases==
The 1979 series was broadcast with English subtitles on Japanese-language television in Hawaii, California, and in the [[New York metropolitan area]]. The English subtitles were produced by San Francisco-based Fuji Television, which did not broadcast the series as part of its Japanese programming on [[KEMO-TV]].

The 1980 film was released in the United States in 1988 by Celebrity Home Entertainment as ''Defenders of the Vortex'', with an edited version of an English dub that was commissioned through the Tokyo, Japan-based Frontier Enterprises. It later received an unedited direct-to-video English release in 1995 by Best Film and Video Corporation with the full version of the same dub.

The 2001 TV series was licensed by Avex Inc. (the North American branch of Avex Mode, the 2001 series' original distributor in Japan) and dubbed into English by [[Animaze]] and ZRO Limit Productions. The entire series was dubbed, with the first 26 episodes shown on the [[Toonami]] programming block on [[Cartoon Network]], while episodes 27 to 47 were shown on Cartoon Network's late Friday night "Graveyard Shift" block, right before the show was dropped from their line-up. The first 8 episodes were distributed on DVD by [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment|Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment]] in a two-disc uncut bilingual set, as well as two dub-only edited broadcast volumes of four episodes each along with Portuguese and Spanish dubs. As of 2017, none of the other episodes have become available on home video outside Japan and Hong Kong, but [[Madman Entertainment]] released the first 26 dubbed episodes to DVD in Australia; they are since out of print. [[Discotek Media]] announced during their [[Otakon]] 2017 panel that they have licensed the 2001 series, and they will release the entire series, in the uncut bilingual version, on a SD[[Blu-ray Disc|BD]] set.<ref>{{cite web|title=Discotek Licenses Cyborg 009 The Cyborg Soldier, Tomorrow's Joe, Project ARMS, NieA_7, Lupin III: The Legend of the Gold of Babylon|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-08-13/discotek-licenses-cyborg-009-the-cyborg-soldier-tomorrow-joe-project-arms-niea_7-lupin-iii-the-legend-of-the-gold-of-babylon/.120065|website=[[Anime News Network]]access-date=August 13, 2017|date=August 13, 2017}}</ref> The purpose for this set is to restore the uncut version of the dub for the whole series to its best state possible, as well as the video quality.
