Synopsis:

In 2005, Tokyo faces an unprecedented threat as subterranean alien creatures, the Zonders, emerge and initiate attacks. Humanity’s defense rests on the shoulders of the Gutsy Geoid Guard (3G) and their colossal robot, GaoGaiGar. Guy Shishio, GaoGaiGar's pilot, carries the weight of a past encounter with the Zonders, rescued from a crash site by the enigmatic robot lion, Galeon. His father then utilizes Galeon’s advanced technology to rebuild Guy as a cyborg, forging him into Earth's potential protector.

The narrative follows Guy and GaoGaiGar’s battles alongside a team of transforming units, guided by Mamoru, a young boy with an unusual ability to purify the Zonders’ core. Mamoru appears intrinsically linked to Galeon, suggesting a deeper connection to both the alien invaders and humanity's response. The series explores themes of trauma, redemption, and the complex relationship between humans and technology as they struggle to safeguard a world grappling with a sudden extraterrestrial presence.
