"In this, the movie version of the Cutey Honey Flash TV series, Honey travels to some far-off country where she fights off insectoid baddies and ends up in a forest full of glowing green butterflies. Sound silly? You bet. Cutey Honey Flash is the obvious shoujo spin-off of the not so obviously shoujo Cutey Honey franchise. Not typical Go Nagai stuff by any means, this show has everyone acting generally tons more cutesy than you'd ever see in any other installment of the series, and it might put off just about anybody used to the original, or to Go Nagai's other work." - © 2003-2004 THEM Anime Reviews.

Galia Einberg, a master golem craftsman.
Both Lina and Naga are just dying to have him make a golem for them (so they can sell it off at a high price, of course) but he has not built a golem in a long time. Instead, he has been fighting with his son, an amateur craftsman who would rather make golems shaped like Venus than the useful and silly looking ones his father makes; until they meet our two heroines, that is.
Galia takes one look at Lina and is enthusiastic about building a golem of her, much to Naga's chagrin, but his son is completely enamoured by the busty, maniacal laughing sorceress. Both father and son have been commissioned to build a golem for one of the barons, to be pitted against each other in a duel to the death. Though the barons are planning on using the golems to build an invincible army, the craftsmen, in a battle of their own, have other ideas...
