Brilliant scientist Sōzō Haran was conducting research on Mars when he created the Meganoids, a new form of cyborg life capable of metacognition. Suddenly Dr. Haran lost control of his creation as the Meganoids slaughtered him and his entire family, save his youngest son, the 16-year-old Banjō Haran. Banjō escaped from Mars on a rocket ship with Daitarn 3, a solar-powered super robot. Now 18 years old and living on Earth, Banjō fights against the Meganoids and their leader, Don Zauser. Banjō must gather allies to help him stop the Meganoid threat, which aspires to turn all humans into cyborgs and "improve" the human race.

A young drifter named Joe Yabuki wanders through the slums of Tokyo, but when the local ruffians try to give him a hard time he teaches them a rough lesson with his fists. The spectacle sparks a gleam in the eye of an old drunk who happens to be watching—Danpei Tange, a failed boxer and former coach who sees something special in the boy. He pleads with Joe to train with him off, but the cocky young fighter brushes him. Later, though, when Joe is arrested and put in a juvenile detention facility, he realizes that he’s going to need to hone his raw fighting skills if he wants to survive. Thus is born a partnership that might just take Joe all the way to the top…
