One of Go Nagai's first works, this violent period piece takes place in the 1500s and stars a talented low ranking ninja named Shishimaru. In it, Shishimaru fights against Ginnai Doma (an immortal samurai who, despite being butchered multiple times, doesn't die) because Ginnai murdered his comrades. Despite being set in historical times, it has machine guns/lasers/robots/atomic reactors with no real explanation.

Eight years prior to the story, explosions caused by scientists at the foot of Mt. Asama which caused a meltdown of Getter Ray energy that spread throughout all of Japan. People throughout the world began to experience some extreme mutations from the irradiation of Getter Energy that caused them to fuse with machinery and organic material and were dubbed the Idea. To combat them the Getter Robo is created by the organisation GETTER and three pilots: Ryo, Hayato, and Musashi are recruited to pilot it and battle the Idea.

The Iyahaya family, one of Japan's most prominent conglomerates based in Iyahate Prefecture, has decided to take care of a relative named Nantomo while his parents are transferred overseas. Iyahaya Sayoko can't help but be curious about her relative's boy of the same age. What kind of boy is this eccentric Nantomo?
In the meantime, a boy in a tattered coat appears before Sayoko's eyes, a poorly dressed eccentric person who eats their dog's food. When she asked him what his name was, he said, "Iyahaya Nantomo (Oh no... Not at all...)", how unclear. Sayoko and her grandmother hurriedly invited him into their house, convinced that he was their relative, Nantomo.
Even though he is not Nantomo, the head of the Iyahaya family, Totetsumo, decides to keep the poor, mysterious boy as the Nantomo and sends him to Kenkin school, the same school as Sayoko.
The school is in the state of Cold War between the Hatesate family conglomerate and the Iyahaya family conglomerate. With the arrival of Nantomo, the school is dragged into a great explosion of madness.

The great Demon Lord Dante, exploiting the weakness of a boy exposed to his demonic influence in his dreams, is awakened from a thousand-year sleep.
The intent of this being, a survivor of an ancient and forgotten civilization, is to wipe out the whole human race.
But it's not that simple: the motivations of the demon aren't so wicked as one might think, and they will combine with the life of the boy, which hangs between nightmares and craziness.
In the meanwhile, the Satanists fight against the hierarchy of the church to obtain a justice which is, as it's easy to guess, that of the Demon Lord.
This series didn't have an ending until it's remake in 2002. Dante's themes and design elements would appear in Nagai's following works, such as Mazinger Z, and Devilman.
Spring, 1991. Mysterious gold metal balls fall from space… The balls were too small to be sensed by humans, so they were scattered across the entire earth without incident!
