Summary: In a future to come humanity enjoys a new age of prosperity thanks to Dr. Shizuma`s invention of a revolutionary renewable energy source: the Shizuma Drive. But this peace is threatened by Big Fire, a cabal seeking world domination. Against Big Fire the International Police Organisation dispatches a collection of superpowered warriors and martial artists, together with Daisaku Kusama, inheritor and master of Earth`s most powerful robot, Giant Robo. By capturing an abnormal Shizuma Drive which is essential to Big Fire`s plans the IPO ignites a desperate conflict between the two groups. The coming battle will test Daisaku`s resolve to the utmost, reveal the ghastly truth behind the creation of the Shizuma Drive, and bring human civilization to its knees! Giant Robo is a character-driven adventure in a retro-futuristic setting, drawing on influences from opera, kung-fu cinema, wuxia stories and classic mecha anime. It incorporates characters from the works of the manga author Mitsuteru Yokoyama but it is designed to be a stand-alone story.
