Synopsis

The third installment in Tadao Nagahama's Romance Super Robot Trilogy. (#1: Chou Denji Robo Combattler V, #2: Chou Denji Machine Voltes V) Following the destruction of their home planet, the survivors of Barm journey to Earth to negotiate the purchase of land for emigration. However, during the talks, the Barmian leader, Leon, is assassinated by his second-in-command, Olban, and the Earth delegation is framed for the murder. In the ensuing chaos, Doctor Isamu Ryuuzaki of the Earth delegation is killed. Shortly after the failed negotiations, the Barmians (referred to as "Valerians" in Starbirds) begin a terror campaign against Earth, led by Leon's son, Admiral Richter, who deploys various "Mecha Soldiers" against Earth's defenses. The only defense against annihilation is the transforming, karate-wielding super robot, Daimos, and its pilot, Kazuya Ryuuzaki. But everything changes when Kazuya meets and falls in love with a mysterious girl named Erika, who turns out to be Richter's sister. As they struggle to reunite, Kazuya and Erika learn that the other's people are not all evil and that their own people are not all good.
