The story: The year is 2025 and the Earth’s population is 10 billion. In order to create new living space, a project is launched to make Mars habitable for human beings. The Izanami, a spaceship named after the Shinto goddess who watches over creation and death, is returning to Earth from a Mars expedition. Just prior to landing, something goes terribly wrong and the shuttle crashes in Tokyo. Negadon, a space monster that the crew had been transporting with them, is awakened to life by the impact. Robotics engineer Ryuichi Narasaki, whose beloved daughter died in the crash and thus feels he has nothing left to lose, takes up the fight against Negadon. But does he have a chance to prevail against the space monster?
