Information: In the year of 2300 after 192 years after unification of the world, the construction of the ORS (Orbital Ring System) in outer space was completed. It was to be operated as a source of energy for Earth. One day, however, the ORS was suddenly attacked by unidentified extraterrestrial beings and the raid extended to the Earth itself. Immediately the Allied Global Force organized a commando task force named "Space Knights" to cope with the critical situation. A mysterious boy called D-Boy who had been rescued by Space Knights transformed himself into Tekkaman Blade and boldly faced the invaders. He fought bravely until, to his great surprise, an enemy fighter with the same Tekkaman Blade figure as himself appeared before him. Then a fierce showdown developed between the two.
