Story
The story takes place in a reality separate from that of the OVA, The Day the Earth Burned explores what the OVA didn't: the true nature of the GR Project and the true leader of Big Fire, Big Fire himself.
The manga opens with Daisaku Kusama on a plane, leaving school to go visit his father overseas. A chain of strange events, from a man trying to poison him to this continuity's Ginrei jumping off of the plane Daisaku was on, ensues. Daisaku is picked up by a Big Fire agent and they're almost immediately attacked by the Experts of Justice. The groups soon learn of an impending disaster that could bring about the end of the world, and many feel Daisaku may somehow cause it.
All hell breaks loose as Daisaku flees both Big Fire and the Experts of Justice in an attempt to stop the war between the organizations, save the countless innocent lives caught in the middle, and prevent a fast-approaching doomsday prediction, all while learning to control Giant Robo.

Famous quotes containing the word story:
“Call on literary convention, and it will gladly tell your story for you.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Television programming for children need not be saccharine or insipid in order to give to violence its proper balance in the scheme of things.... But as an endless diet for the sake of excitement and sensation in stories whose plots are vehicles for killing and torture and little more, it is not healthy for young children. Unfamiliar as yet with the full story of human response, they are being misled when they are offered perversion before they have fully learned what is sound.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story or tell a story about them.”
—Isak Dinesen (1885–1962)
