The narrative centers on Dr. Octo, a marine biologist convinced octopuses are the superior species. His ambition involves a global takeover, initiated by the abduction of Sumire Hoshino, an idol singer secretly working as a resistance operative.

It offers a blend of lightheartedness and intense action, delivered with a distinctive visual style.
