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:
“The perfect detective story cannot be written. The type of mind which can evolve the perfect problem is not the type of mind that can produce the artistic job of writing.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“The child ... stands upon a place apart, a little spectator of the world, before whom men and women come and go, events fall out, years open their slow story and are noted or let go as his mood chances to serve them. The play touches him not. He but looks on, thinks his own thought, and turns away, not even expecting his cue to enter the plot and speak. He waits,—he knows not for what.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“That’s the whole story of my life: frustration. It’s a chronic disease, and it’s incurable.”
—Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)
