History Anime / GodMars

In the year 1999, humanity begins to advance beyond the known Solar System. The small planet Gishin, led by the [[BigBad Emperor Zuul]], who aims to [[GalacticConqueror conquer the galaxy]], runs into conflict with Earth. He targets Earth for elimination and to do this, [[MosesInTheBullrushes he sends a male baby called Mars to live among humanity]]. Accompanying the baby is a [[HumongousMecha giant robot named Gaia]], which utilizes a new power source strong enough to [[ApocalypseHow destroy an entire planet]]. As planned, Mars is expected to grow up, where he will activate the bomb within Gaia to fulfill the mission of destroying the Earth. However, when Mars arrives on Earth, he is adopted into a Japanese family and given the name Takeru Myoujin. Seventeen years later, [[BecomingTheMask Takeru has grown with a love for humanity and refuses to detonate the bomb as ordered by Zuul]]. However, if Takeru was to die, the bomb within Gaia would explode destroying the earth...

Takeru possesses {{psychic powers}}, letting him [[MotionCaptureMecha pilot Gaia with his mind]]. Then, he decides to join the Earth defense forces and becomes a member of the Crasher Squad (an elite space defense force), where he and his friends take a last stand against the Gishin's attack. Oh, and there's also [[CainAndAbel the relationship of Takeru with his older brother Prince Marg, which fate would have it, pitted the two against each other in the war]].

** Uniquely, Takeru himself was decidedly NOT invincible: the entire series is basically [[TraumaCongaLine just Zuul directly making him suffer]].

Unknown to the Gishin, five other robots were created in secrecy alongside Gaia by Takeru's father and sent with Gaia to protect Takeru. Whenever Earth is in danger, Takeru is able to summon the five other robots to [[CombiningMecha combine with Gaia to form the giant robot Godmars]]. The five other robots are Sphinx, Uranus, Titan, Shin and Ra.
