Synopsis:
In a near-future world shaped by advanced robotics, Dr. Komyoji's creation, Kikaider, stands as a unique guardian. Designed with a conscience circuit capable of simulating genuine emotion, Kikaider is dedicated to safeguarding Dr. Komyoji’s children. The series explores themes of responsibility and the complexities of artificial sentience as Kikaider navigates a world threatened by Dr. Gill, a scientist intent on global control through his own robotic creations. Kikaider's existence presents a constant struggle to discern morality in a conflict defined by technological prowess and unwavering loyalty. The narrative unfolds within a setting where the line between creator and creation blurs, prompting questions about what it truly means to be human – or something beyond.
