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.”
—Alexander Cockburn (b. 1941)
“Every day care center, whether it knows it or not, is a school. The choice is never between custodial care and education. The choice is between unplanned and planned education, between conscious and unconscious education, between bad education and good education.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“Life is a series of diminishments. Each cessation of an activity either from choice or some other variety of infirmity is a death, a putting to final rest. Each loss, of friend or precious enemy, can be equated with the closing off of a room containing blocks of nerves ... and soon after the closing off the nerves atrophy and that part of oneself, in essence, drops away. The self is lightened, is held on earth by a gram less of mass and will.”
—Coleman Dowell (1925–1985)
“Visions of half the world burned black
And the sun shrunken yellow in smoke.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
