Mobile Fighter G Gundam

In the Year F.C. (Future Century) 60, much of mankind inhabits space colonies which orbit the Earth.

Domon Kashuu is selected to represent Neo-Japan in one of these tournaments, but he fights less to ensure his nation's victory than to find his brother, who has been blamed for the deaths of Domon's parents and the disappearance of a very dangerous weapon, the Devil Gundam (Dark Gundam).
