Story
Two years after the defeat of Galaktor and the apparent death of Condor Joe, the cruise ship attacks Leader X, killing everyone on board. The only surviving girl is grabbed and turned into an unusual manly villain named Gel Sadr. Despite the new adult appearance, Gel continues to show an immature character and from time to time to fall into a childish tantrum, but now it is becoming the new leader of Galaktor.
There, in time, a team of Ninja scientists replaces Joe with a certain Hakku Getsu, who turns out to be Galaktor's secret agent (disguised as Goetz, whom he had previously killed). The real Joe appears in the fourth series, miraculously surviving. It later turns out that he was saved by an ex-Galactor scientist who replaced several of his organs with synthetic ones.
Later, the team is joined by the female scientist Dr. Pandora, who lost her family on the ship and the mother of the girl turned to Gel Sadra (however, the woman did not know about it yet). [four]
In the new series, the protagonists get new and more advanced weapons. Robot God-phoenix has become larger. Jung's hair became shorter and straighter, and Junpei was already 13 years old. [5] [6]
