The Story

Duke Fleed, the prince of the planet Fleed is forced to leave his home because the evil King Vega wants to conquer the whole galaxy and is now attacking and destroying Fleed. Duke escapes with Grendizer a spacecraft that can turn into a giant robot, and after a long journey he finally lands on Earth, where he finds life and climate similar to the one on Fleed. The prince is then saved and 'adopted' by professor Umon that calls him Daisuke. He starts to work as a stableman in a farm hiding to anyone his secret identity. Time goes by and one day Vega's troops arrive on Earth, willing to conquer it, but this time Duke Fleed doesn't want to leave again... he's gonna fight Vega with Grendizer!!

Many friends will help Duke in his fightings: Koji Kabuto (he was the pilot of Mazinger Z ) who pilots the Double Spacer, Hikaru Makiba who pilots the Marine Spacer and Duke's sister Maria Grace Fleed who pilots the Drill Spacer.

The battle is hard but at the end the Goods will triumph over the Evils and when the war is over, Duke and Maria will come back to their native planet that is slowly flourishing to a new life.
