Hayato's city is devastated by a giant robot, killing his parents. Left with only his dog Jack, his mother's shoe, and a photo of his real parents, he learns on his father's deathbed that he was adopted. Now Hayato seeks revenge against the one who sent the robot: the mysterious Phantom Ship, a flying vessel that threatens ships and is rumored to want to exterminate everything.

He follows a man who descends from it to the Terada residence, where four men are terrified by a threatening letter from a man claiming to be Daisaku Arashiyama. As Isamu's family's past is gradually revealed, the question remains: is the Phantom Ship a friend of justice or an ally of evil?
