Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Burned (ジャイアント・ロボ - 地球の燃え尽きる日, Jaianto Robo - Chikyū no Moetsukiru Hi?) is a manga scripted by Yasuhiro Imagawa (Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still, Mobile Fighter G Gundam) and illustrated by Yasunari Toda. The series was created, along with GR: Giant Robo, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Mitsuteru Yokoyama's 1967 manga Giant Robo.
The Day the Earth Burned chronicles Daisaku Kusama's involvement in a three way battle between the International Police Organization, the Magnificent Ten and the Murasame Clan. The series follows the general tone and style of the Imagawa's The Day the Earth Stood Still but set in a different continuity.
Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Burned is serialized in Akita Shoten's Champion Red since September 2006.

“Next week Reagan will probably announce that American scientists have discovered that the entire U.S. agricultural surplus can be compacted into a giant tomato one thousand miles across, which will be suspended above the Kremlin from a cluster of U.S. satellites flying in geosynchronous orbit. At the first sign of trouble the satellites will drop the tomato on the Kremlin, drowning the fractious Muscovites in ketchup.”

had as many shadows as lights,
a mournful candelabra against a sleek piano,
the gardenia her signature under that ruined face.

If you can’t be free, be a mystery.”
