The story focuses on Seiji Takasugi, who obtained a jewel called "Orin", which is the Earth's alter ego and it has elected him to be the commander of eight brave robots. The robots are sleeping within many parts of the world as the "Brave Stones".

Their enemy is [[BigBad Lord Ohboss]], an invader who aims to steal the Earth's planet energy with the aid of his subordinates that Da-Garn and the other brave robots must stop in order to save the Earth.
