This is the story of a group of boys who try to save the world! As
boys, Kenji and his friends came up with a bunch of stories about an
evil organization bent on world destruction. As adults, someone is now
turning their fantasies into reality!
Humanity, having faced extinction at the end of the 20th century, would
not have entered the new millennium if it weren't for them. In 1969,
during their youth, they created a symbol. In 1997, as the coming
disaster slowly starts to unfold, that symbol returns. This is the story
of a group of boys who try to save the world.
What really happened on Bloody New Year's Eve? Kenji, Otcho and Maruo
have just driven their dynamite-loaded truck under the robot...where
they see what a poor relation to the giant robot they dreamed up in
their childhoods it actually is: just two legs with caterpillar treads,
held together by an enormous hot air balloon, with cloth hanging down to
disguise the underside!
Meanwhile, at the meeting of the government's crisis control committee,
Manjome Inshu unveils the Friend's benevolent plan to distribute
worldwide a vaccine against the virus being spread by the robot. At the
same time, the Friends will contribute a monument they were building for
their headquarters to serve as a blockade against the robot. The Friends
are saving the day! Or are they?
