Summary:
On December 31, 2052, in order to prevent the scientist Ryutaro from destroying the world, Xuanzang Jiuzou asked his son Xuanzang Sanzang to select some robots from 99 robots numbered 1-99. Sanzang finally selected five robots: Gokyuu, Tongoh, Jou, Suuji, and Mioto. On January 1, 2053, Ryutaro modified the program of supercomputer Eve and began to destroy the world. In order to protect Sanzang, Zero, the first generation robot manufactured by Jiuzao, was destroyed along with the robots Soichi Fujimura and Souka Fujimura created by Ryutaro. Robot Tai is Wujiu’s opponent on the surface, but in fact he is protecting Wujiu and his group. In order to restore the supercomputer Eve’s program to its original appearance and return to December 31, 2052 to stop Ryutaro, they must find 49 parts to save the world. Head east! For Abbot (a life form of opportunity) to coexist with humans…
One thousand years in the future, the world has lost its balance. All the giant trees up to 10,000 meters high have been cut down by humans as obstacles. The entire world has turned into a desert. Only humans and Abbot are left in this world that is heading for destruction. As if guided by fate, Sanzang and Gokyuu meet. Traveling together, Sanzou - a young man shrouded in mystery, Gokyuu - the strongest and worst Anbot around, Tongoh - an Anbot fond of drinking, Jou - someone who is great with machines, Suuji - a female Anbot thief, and last but not least, Mioto. And so, their journey begins to the boundless East, to the land where the sun was born!
