Plot synopsis

edit

The planet Rosetta has been taken over by the Black Star army led by Captain Dagger. Takashi Shishido and his mother Rosemary escape to Earth after his father Gou is captured by Dagger, who is actually Takashi's evil twin brother Hiroshi. While living peacefully on Earth, Takashi attends a kung-fu school in Japan, and has four friends, but they have no idea that he is from another planet, a secret only his martial arts teacher Takamine knowaa But when Captain Dagger initiates an attack on Earth using his army of giant monsters, Rosemary (who also goes by the civilian name "Mari") gives Takashi the Megalon-Bracelets with which he can transform into the giant long-haired warrior Megaloman to fight the evil monsters for the protection of Earth. Takashi's four martial arts school friends Seiji Kurogawa (a tough, Bruce Lee-like fighter), Hyosuke Yuri (the comedy relief), Ran Takamine (Master Takamine's daughter and Takashi's girlfriend) and Ippei Saru (the little kid) discover his secret and Rosemary gives them their own Megalon-Bracelets to enable them to transform into a quartet of multicolored auperheroes to fight alongside Takashi.
