Synopsis:

Set in a post-war Tokyo grappling with the aftermath of conflict, this series follows Kaneda Shotaro, a brilliant young detective whose life becomes intertwined with his father's legacy. Ten years after the Second World War, the city faces a new threat: "Destruction Bombs," designed by his father, Professor Kaneda, as a final defense against mainland invasion.

The arrival of a mysterious man claiming to be Shotaro’s long-lost brother adds further complexity to the narrative. This individual was trained as a pilot for Tetsujin, the giant robot created during the war. As the bombs are discovered, Shotaro must navigate the moral implications of his father's creation and uncover the truth behind the escalating danger while grappling with familial ties and the fragility of peace in a world forever marked by war. The story explores themes of responsibility, technological advancement, and the enduring impact of historical events on present-day lives.
