Nagai's inspiration for the character of Honey comes from two classic tokusatsu superhero shows, 7-Color Mask (1959) and Rainbowman (1972). Both, creations of Yasunori Kawauchi, featured superheroes with seven different forms.^[1] Honey is notable for being mischievous for a Japanese female hero, often teasing her male friends and mocking her enemies in combat. When transforming into Cutie Honey, she gives a brief rundown of the forms she has previously taken in that particular episode, and then declares, "But my true identity is..." before yelling "HONEY FLASH!" and transforming.

General plot synopsis

Honey Kisaragi is a regular Catholic schoolgirl, until the day her father is murdered by the "Panther Claw" Organization. After his death, she learns she is actually an android created by him and within her is the Fixed System of Air Elements. By saying "Honey Flash!" she can transform into the sword-wielding red-haired superhero, Cutie Honey.

Panther Claw is ruled by Panther Zora, and her younger sibling Sister Jill. Their main goal is unlimited wealth, and obtaining the Fixed System of Air Elements. The series chronicles Honey's quest for revenge against the Panther Claw while attending Saint Chapel School for Girls. Aiding Honey in her quest for revenge is Hayami Danbei and his two sons, Seiji (a newspaper reporter and Honey's would-be love interest) and Junpei (who has a major crush on Honey, even though he already has a girlfriend).

At school, Honey is something of a "class clown," delighting in teasing her teacher Alphonne and tormenting Miharu, the strict dormitory dean. Much of the comic relief in the original TV series comes from Honey's exploits at school. Miharu initially sees Honey as an incorrigible pest, but Alphonne is attracted to Honey and goes out of her way to be nice to her. Honey's best friend at school is the cute, freckle-faced Aki "Natchan" Natsuko. In the manga, Natchan (as well as the other students) had a crush on Honey, though this was downplayed in the TV series.

The Cutie Honey TV series began on 13 October 1973 and ran until 30 March 1974.

Cutie Honey Flash

In 1997, a new shoujo version of Cutie Honey assumed the timeslot of the long-running Sailor Moon series and used many of the same animation staff, as well as featuring very similar character designs. Cutie Honey Flash (also known as Cutie Honey F) fits the more traditional mold of magical girl series, aimed at the Sailor Moon demographic. Cutie Honey Flash was also broadcast in Germany and achieved a loyal fan base there. Shōjo (少女 lit. ...

The series introduces Cutie Honey's sister and rival: Misty Honey (not to be confused with Kisaragi Honey's singer persona from the original TV series who was also known as "Misty Honey"). Misty Honey, unlike Cutie Honey, cannot turn into anyone she wants; she can only change to Misty Honey. She has a band around her leg that resembles Honey's choker, which she uses to transform with the words "Honey Flash." She can even be seen as a negative version of Cutie Honey, since Misty Honey has long blue hair and a less revealing outfit, while Cutie Honey has short pink hair and a more revealing outfit. Her alter ego is Seira Hazuki.

Again, Honey has a seemingly endless array of transformations in this series, but her most common personae include:

• Scoop Honey (Paparazzi). A woman who is ready with her film and camera acting as a reporter.
• Stage Honey. (Singer). A woman who has her microphone and her formal dress ready for an audience.
• Nurse Honey. (Nurse). A woman who knows all medical needs necessary.
• Elegance Honey. (Bride). A woman who wears a beautiful white wedding dress. The bouquet is used when she's in danger.
• Hurricane Honey (Biker). A woman who is "cool" with her motorcycle. Anytime she needs to escape.
• Escort Honey (Tour guide). A woman who is always there when needed. A disguise as a flight attendant.
• Cutie Honey. (Heroine). A woman who has a perfect body and saves the day.

Like New Cutie Honey before it, Cutie Honey Flash makes references to other Go Nagai series: Gorgon Claw is a female version of Archduke Gorgon of Mazinger Z, Freddy Claw is a female version of Dr. Hell and Commander Brocken from Mazinger Z and three boys from Honey's school are based on pilots from Getter Robo and Gettter Robo Go.

In 2004, Gainax produced a tokusatsu Cutie Honey. The films stars popular Japanese model Eriko Sato as the hyperactive Honey. Directed by Hideaki Anno, the film loosely retells the classic story of Cutie Honey's battle to defend humanity and avenge her father against Panther Claw. In this version, Honey's powers come from the Imaginary Induction System. Called I-system for short, the name is a pun on the word "love" (愛, ai^?).

Claw Info

Gold Claw Gold claw is the first to battle Cutie Honey, she almost wins but was defeated by the Honey Boomerang while trying to escape the sea bunker she and Honey where battling on Gold Claw was not killed but later in the movie Sister Jill removes her thinking of her as weak.. Gold Claws left arm has 3 blades to slash and her left has barrels wrapped around her wrist so she is able to shoot Gold Missiles. The long blade on the top of her head may be used to grab and throw her enemies and to fly using it like a helicopter propeller.

Cobalt Claw Cobalt Claw is second in line to fight Cutie Honey, first she stole the body of Honeys boss and chases Honey and Nat-Chan into an elevator where she ditches the skin and reveals herself as Cobalt Claw. Cobalt would've been able to win but was lost due to the I-System reacting to Honeys feelings of vengeance. Ultimatly Cobalt Claw was melted. Cobalt Claw susually steals skin to get close to her victim then she attacks with her 4 long braids, usually by tripping or gagging. If her braids are destroyed Cobalt Claw uses her contortionist body to unzip extra pockets in her suit that carry extra arms.

Scarlet Claw AS you would predict Scarlet Claw is third to fight Honey. Honey and Scarlet high up in the sky above the city. Scarlet was obivously powerful, bringing with her an aura that made the world around her into a shade of red. During the fight Scarlet Claw ends up leaving a large hole in several Buildings including the Office Building where Honey works. Scralet Claw is defeated when Honey Deflects her force beam back at her and she is destroyed by Black Claw.

Black Claw

 the final Claw to face Honey is seemingly androgynous Black Claw is Duochromatic (Black and White) and fights with a spinning sword attack and a hidden microphone. During the fight Panther claw minons played classical Music and accompanied Black Claw as (S)He sang. Black was defeated when Honey used a point blank HONEY BOOMERANG. 

Re: Cutie Honey

Simultaneous to the release of the Cutie Honey live action film, Gainax also produced a new three-part OVA series entitled Re: Cutie Honey. The OVA tells the same story as the film, although with significantly more detail and plot elements added. A radical departure from the style of previous Cutie Honey incarnations, "Re: Cutie Honey" uses simplistic animation and bold lines that are heavily influenced by the original Cutie Honey TV series. The simplicity of many of the backgrounds and characters creates a distinct visual style that has its supporters and detractors, like the original. Once again, the film features cameos from some of Go Nagai's other characters, including Akira Fudo and Miki Makimura of Devilman.
