The official website of Grendizer U describes the story as follows: “A man who fell into the desert has no memory. He was picked up by Koji Kabuto and named Daisuke. While the days seemed peaceful, an unidentified phenomenon appeared in the skies above the world’s major cities. It was Vega Star, a military force from a star system far away from Earth.”

“Humanity is overrun by Vega, which is far superior to Earth’s weapons. Mazinger Z soars above the pool of water. Earth’s last hope faces an uphill battle against saucer beasts. Amid this desperate situation, a legendary hero appears out of the dust. Riding on board is Daisuke, who turns out to be Duke Fleed, the prince who was forced to flee his home, planet Fleed,” the synopsis continues.
