Story
|
In the future a
technological renaissance has unfolded. The “Shizuma/Sigma
Drive” Energy System has revolutionized and revitalized
all aspects of human technology. With its “pollution
free” and unlimited energy applications, the progress
of humankind has grown by leaps and bounds. But, amidst this
technological boom, evil men plot the take over of Earth.
The “BIG FIRE” Organization has utilized advanced
technology for its own nefarious schemes. Armed with an army
of Giant Robots and utilizing a cadre of superhuman Espers
and Mystics, Big Fire launches several attacks on the world.
To stop this terror, the Organizations of
the World created its own army of superhuman Espers to form
the EXPERTS of JUSTICE. One of its agents is the Japanese
youth Kusama Daisaku who commands the gigantic robot known
only as “Giant Robo”. Giant Robo is unique in
that he is not powered by “Shizuma/Sigma Drive”
Energy as thus is immune to the “Shizuma/Sigma Drive”
draining technology incorporated by “Big Fire”.
Kusama Daisaku and Giant Robo together with
the Experts of Justice battle to save the world from the plans
of Big Fire to plunge the world into technological darkness.
