In spite of this, the Buff Clan are relentless in pursuing the “Solo Ship” the space ship that houses the “Giant God” and an elaborate game of cat and mouse across the stars begins. The Buff Clan have a technological, and therefore militaristic, advantage over the earthlings however the three pieces of military equipment come alive and combine to form a giant robot who forces the Buff Clan to retreat.īoth sides learn very early on that both the earthlings and the Buff Clan are human literally, they are the exact same species only from different home worlds somehow. At the same time another civilization of space travelers, known as “The Buff Clan” come to the planet Solo with the goal of discovering the “Giant God.” Karala the daughter of the Buff Clan’s military commander comes to investigate the discovery of the earthlings but her overzealous protector, Gije, believes her to be in danger and attacks.

Our story begins on the planet Solo where the military are investigating the construction of unauthorized military equipment only to be informed that the machinery was not produced by the scientist present but rather they dug it out of the ground. The premise of “Space Runaway Ideon” is as follows, in the distant future, earthlings have begun colonizing other planets. “Space Runaway Ideon,” is the first anime Kill Them All Tomino worked on after “Mobile Suit Gundam.” He was given complete creative control and with that freedom he was able to explore his wild imagination in all direction.
