Story
During the events of World War II, Adolf Hitler personally invited Dr. Asagumo to come to Germany to take part in the development of the new Big X super weapon. Concerned about the likely dire consequences of the weapon, the doctor deliberately slows down the development process by secretly conspiring with Dr. Engel. Shortly before the defeat in the war, before the doctors are shot for "betrayal," he manages to secretly transmit information about the developments on the map to his son - Shiger. It takes 20 years. A secret alliance associated with Nazi forces finds out about the existence of the map. However, Shigeru now lives in Tokyo , almost completing his father’s development of super-weapons, a drug that can expand the physical limitations of a person. It turns out that the grandson of Dr. Engel joined the Nazi alliance and intends to get the drug. However, he and the alliance will be opposed by his son Shigeru - Akira, who with new super-capabilities will challenge the Nazi alliance, intending to conquer the whole world.
