馃摉 SYNOPSIS
During World War II, Dr. Haneda created giant robot warriors, but Allied bombs destroyed his facility, seemingly killing him. A decade later, criminals unearthed two prototypes, using them for nefarious deeds. Shotaro Haneda, the late doctor's son, investigates and discovers the criminals seek the most powerful robot, Tetsujin-28. Racing against the villains, Shotaro finds the robot and Dr. Shikashima, his father's colleague, who was also believed dead. Together, they prevent Tetsujin-28 from falling into the wrong hands, dedicating it to peace.
Shotaro, with Dr. Shikashima's support for repairs and assistance from police officer Otsuka, uses Tetsujin-28 to fight crime. Later in his career, Shotaro faces the alien Magmans, who invade Earth with their own giant robots, Magma X and Gold Wolf, adding another layer of conflict.
