Synopsis[]
Like an impossibly huge robotic dragon, the Host Body of Japan rises into space to battle the Spider Alien invasion fleet! Aiding in the cause are Magnus, Rai, and Solar! Nearby, in an alien craft, Rai's wife, Kazuyo, steals a Commando-Class X-O Armor and returns to Earth to save her infant son. In space, the aliens penetrate Japan's Skull-dome, threatening to overpower Rai and Magnus and destroy the Grand-One![1]
