Eight years before the story begins, a catastrophic meltdown of Getter Ray energy at the foot of Mt. Asama spreads across Japan, irradiating the population. As a result, people begin to undergo extreme mutations, fusing with machinery and organic matter. These beings are known as the Idea.
To combat the threat posed by the Idea, the organization GETTER develops the Getter Robo, a powerful mecha. Three young pilots—Ryo, Hayato, and Musashi—are recruited to pilot it. Together, they must face the mutated creatures and confront the dark consequences of the Getter Rays, all while struggling to protect what remains of humanity.

In a devastated post-apocalyptic future, Earth is a ruinous wasteland. Humanity’s only remaining strongholds are mobile fortress cities called Plantations, defended by giant robots known as Franxx. These machines are the only weapons effective against the klaxosaurs, massive beasts that have pushed mankind to the edge of extinction.
